Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

Chapter 157
"Get up and talk."

Fang Yuan said calmly.

Mafu's explanation is quite reasonable.

Although Leping County is located in Bingzhou, Bingzhou is too big.

The distance from Leping County to Bingzhou Taiyuan Mansion is not as close as Liaozhou City.

It's just that Wang Shiyu often said that she wanted to settle accounts with herself, which made Fang Yuan think a little more about whether she was setting him up.

"Fang Inspector, please, please save my young lady!"

The groom didn't get up, he directly kowtowed to Fang Yuan.

There was a bang bang bang, and his head turned red and purple in just a moment.

"Okay, I didn't say no to help."

"Come here, ask Li Danqiu and his brother to bring someone back to verify that it's time for their training."

Fang Yuan stopped him from kneeling down.

Judging by his appearance, Wang Shiyu is more likely to be in distress.

It just so happened that the Li Danqiu siblings also trained the state officials and the security team for nearly half a month, and it was time to test.

"Xie Fang Inspector, Xie Fang Inspector!"

The groom breathed a sigh of relief before standing up.

"Inspector Fang, then I will take my leave first."

"Our royal firm is not suitable for casual shooting."

Nie Jiazhong saluted.

Their royal firm belongs to the army, so they cannot take action casually.

"Okay, Team Hard Nie is on his way."

Fang Yuan said politely.

Let the state officials send one on his behalf.

Not long after, Li Danqiu and his brother came back.

"Inspector Fang, is it finally time for verification?"

Li Danqiu said excitedly.

Although it hasn't been a long time to train Zheng Jiu and the others, Li Danqiu feels that every day has passed for a long time.

She has been waiting for this day for a long time, it's time for Fang Yuan to be shocked and satisfied, and it's time for him to go to the ninth floor of the Star Observation Tower.

"Good, are you ready?"

Fang Yuan smiled lightly.

"Just waiting for your order."

Li Danqiu smiled confidently.

"Let's go then."

"The purpose is to save Wang Shiyu."

Fang Yuan got up.

He will follow suit.

You have to see for yourself the training situation of Li Danqiu and his siblings.

"What happened to Wang Shiyu?!"

Li Danqiu was suddenly surprised.

As someone who had stayed in Bingzhou for a long time, she knew Wang Shiyu.

"Wang Shiyu said the groom."

Fang Yuan has already walked to the gate of the Governor's Mansion.

The state officials have prepared more than 30 horses and have been waiting for a long time.

"Yo, I didn't expect you to have more than 30 horses."

Li Danqiu was surprised when he saw so many horses.

Horses are scarce and precious resources, and ordinary people have no channels to buy them.

"That's all."

"Zheng Jiu, you choose some masters and assign them to ride in advance."

"Huang Da, Lai Yingzhe, each of you will bring a hundred and five state officials and security guards to follow, and the rest will stay behind in Liaozhou City."

Fang Yuan got on his horse and ordered.

This is all the horses that Fang Yuan currently owns.

It also included several spare horses from the Governor's Mansion.

More than 30 horses are already a lot, and compared with the states, they are already at the upper-middle level.

"Yes!"

Zheng Jiu and the others should be.

Soon, more than 30 horses were full of people.

Wang Shiyu's groom pulled the horse out of the carriage and rode on it alone.

Everyone set off and went straight to Leping County.

With the whip on the horse, Fang Yuan and others quickly entered the territory of Leping County.

Under the leadership of Wang Shiyu's groom, Fang Yuan and others soon arrived at a pipeline.

The mountains on both sides here are sparsely populated, which is a good place to rob.

As soon as they arrived, Fang Yuan and the others saw that the blood on the pipe had been covered by the mud at will, but there was still a part exposed.

Looking along the bloodstains, I saw several corpses thrown into the grass, in a miserable state of death.

Seeing this, Fang Yuan no longer doubted whether something really happened to Wang Shiyu.

"Inspector Fang, I escaped here."

"I'm not sure where Miss was caught."

Wang Shiyu's groom said with a sad face.

Seeing the tragic death of his companions being thrown into the wilderness, he was very sad.

Fang Yuan nodded, and looked at the Li Danqiu siblings beside him.

"What do you see us doing?"

"We can only fight with soldiers, not investigate and search."

Li Danqiu immediately understood Fang Yuan's meaning.

Li Siwen also shrugged, expressing his helplessness.

"Zhou Zun, my subordinates are good at investigation, please allow me to observe the scene for a while."

In the team, a state official came out.

He looks ordinary, even a little ugly, and he belongs to the existence that is thrown in the crowd and doesn't take a few glances.

If he wasn't wearing the clothes of a state official, a thin middle-aged man like him might be despised.

"Go."

Fang Yuan nodded.

The state official immediately drove to the corpse, and carefully observed the place where the fight took place.

"Zhou Zun, this is a good detective in the subordinate team, named Luo Zheng."

Zheng Jiu explained from the side.

Those he personally selected to come were not ordinary state officials.

Either they are powerful martial arts masters, or people like Luo Zheng have abilities beyond ordinary people.

"Zheng Jiu, you did a good job."

Fang Yuan praised.

Zheng Jiu is really a rare talent.

Usually he is very attentive in his work, and occasionally it can make Fang Yuan's eyes shine.

For example, last time at Zhang Ji's house, he had only [-] yuan with him, and this time, he considered bringing in a good detective.

"Praise from Xie Zhouzun."

Zheng Jiu smiled modestly.

Not long after, Luo Zheng came back.

"Zhou Zun, my subordinates have concluded that the murderer went this way after kidnapping Ms. Wang."

Luo Zheng pointed to one side of the mountain and said.

"lead the way!"

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice without any hesitation.

"Yes!"

Luo Zheng was taken aback for a moment, and then responded loudly.

Fang Yuan let him lead the way without any doubt, he felt trusted, and immediately led the way.

Soon, everyone galloped to the foot of a mountain, and it would be more difficult for the horses to ride if they went up.

Considering that you have to go on foot if you continue to go up, you have to confirm the situation again before deciding whether to go up.

Otherwise, if there is no horse, it will be a waste of time, and it will also have a great impact on the rescue.

Luo Zheng was carefully observing the situation on the scene, trying to determine where the gangsters would eventually go.

Soon, he found a torn piece of silk in a hidden grass.

"Brother, is this your lady's clothes? Those pieces of silk asked Wang Shiyu
""groom.

"Yes, yes, this is exactly the silk passed down by Miss!"

When Wang Shiyu's groom saw the torn silk, tears filled his eyes.

"Zhou Zun, they must be on the mountain!"

Luo Zheng confirmed again.

"lead the way."

Fang Yuan didn't hesitate.

I also believe that Luo Zheng's judgment is not wrong.

It's just that it's not easy to go up here when the horse arrives here, and you have to go on foot.

According to Luo Zheng's detective, Fang Yuan and others went up the mountain and walked in a certain direction.

Finally, the den was discovered.

"Zhou Zun, it should be here."

Luo Zheng held the last piece of broken silk and said in a deep voice.

Along the way, Luo Zheng found a total of five pieces of broken silk.

It should be the clues Wang Shiyu left behind for those who rescued her.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

He hid his body and stared at the den.

Taking the form of a cottage as a base, there are four people patrolling back and forth at the gate, and the guard should be very strict.

"what happened?!"

"This place was clearly wiped out by my father and I!"

Li Danqiu suddenly said in disbelief.

Li Siwen also looked at the cottage in shock.

"What's the problem?"

Fang Yuan frowned and asked.

"This is a den of bandits in the Taiyuan Mountains, but I remember being wiped out by us."

Li Danqiu said in a deep voice.

His eyes became a little gloomy.

This place has obviously been wiped out by the soldiers led by three members of the family, and the camp here has also been destroyed.

But now there are new bandits occupying this place, which makes Li Danqiu feel like his things have been robbed.

"Really bold."

"Perhaps the bandit leader thinks that the more dangerous the place, the safer it is."

Fang Yuan didn't expect this.

Immediately, he felt that Bandit was either a crazy person or a fool.

It is estimated that the former is more likely, and the latter may not live long as a bandit.

"Inspector Fang, shall we go in?"

"I'm worried that something will happen to the lady if she is late."

The groom reminded in a low voice.

He knew it would be dangerous to break in like this.

But he was more worried about his young lady's situation.

The longer the rescue dragged on, the more dangerous it would be for the young lady.

Fang Yuan didn't answer him, he is not good at attacking cities, Li Danqiu siblings are in command.

"""Do it after dark!"

"If your young lady is harmed, it can only be said that your young lady's life is bad."

Li Danqiu said incredulously.

The groom's expression changed immediately, but he was also a sensible person, so he didn't dare to refute.

"Luo Zheng, your detection ability is strong, you stay here and watch, we will retreat a little to avoid being discovered."

Li Danqiu said in a deep voice.

"Ok."

Luo Zheng looked at Fang Yuan.

After Fang Yuan's gesture, he respectfully responded.

Li Danqiu nodded, and stepped back with Fang Yuan and others.

This is the blind spot on the top of the mountain, and there is some distance from the top of the mountain, so you don't need to be too cautious.

"Fang Yuan, you state officials really listen to you."

Li Danqiu said sourly after sitting down.

In Li Ji's barracks, most of the soldiers obeyed her orders.

But Li Danqiu knew that it was because his father was their general.

It is the same with Fang Yuan, the state officials and security guards only listen to him because of Fang Yuan.

"After dark is waiting for the yellow
He was curious whether Li Danqiu chose to fight after dark because the danger was lower after dark, or whether he was waiting for Huang Da and his army to arrive.

The real main force is with Huang Da and others, and his side can only be regarded as a vanguard.

"Look at the sky, it will be dark for an hour at most."

"As for Huang Da and the others, they probably won't be able to arrive in an hour. We won't wait for her."

Li Danqiu said in a deep voice.

Huang Da and the others don't have horses, so they can't come quickly. If they come too fast, they will consume a lot of energy.

So under normal circumstances, there is no way for them to arrive in an hour.

Therefore, we should do it when it gets dark, otherwise the kidnapped Wang Shiyu may be in danger.

"understood."

Fang Yuan nodded solemnly.

Then Li Danqiu talked to everyone about the rescue method.

She is familiar with the situation inside, so everyone quickly understood the layout inside.

Time passes slowly.

In less than an hour, it was dark and the moon appeared, Fang Yuan and others started to move.

Zheng Jiu and several other masters sneaked around and silently killed the four guarding bandits on patrol.

Soon, Fang Yuan and others entered the camp.

As soon as they entered, Fang Yuan and the others felt something was wrong.

There are three or five people in a team, and several teams are patrolling back and forth in the cottage.

"The walking posture is neat, the breath is calm, they are not ordinary bandits, maybe they are the army?!"

Li Danqiu was the first to notice something was wrong, and said in horror.

Such a neat pace cannot be the quality that a bandit should have.

Much like the soldiers I saw patrolling in the barracks.

"These are the army?!"

Fang Yuan was not calm anymore.

The army stationed in such a place is definitely not a serious army of the imperial court.

Who hid an army in the Taiyuan Mountains?
What is the reason for hijacking Wang Shiyu?
Could it be the hidden crown prince's treasure?
"Maybe I'm overthinking."

"Let's make a quick decision!"

Li Danqiu took a deep breath and said in a low voice.

She wasn't sure if these were the army, it was too ridiculous after all.

The possibility of an army appearing in the barren mountains is too low, and the possibility of encountering it by yourself is even lower.

And they all came in, it would be a pity to leave like this without giving it a try.

"it is good."

Fang Yuan nodded solemnly.

Follow Li Danqiu's footsteps, avoid the patrol of soldiers, and sneak towards the place of detention that Li Danqiu knows.

Along the way, Li Danqiu asked Zheng Jiu and others to lie in ambush on the way back, in case someone needed support to break out.

In the end, Li Danqiu took Fang Yuan to the prisoner's place, killed the two guards and opened the prison door.

In an instant, a strong stench gushed out, and its ginseng smelled of blood, feces, and so on.

At the same time, Fang Yuan and others found that the room was full of women, estimated to be more than 50 people.

Some of them had ragged clothes, some had no clothes at all, and their hair was disheveled, which was pitiful.

Soon, Fang Yuan and the others found that Wang Shiyu was also in the house, and there was no trace of blood on his face.

"what!!!"

The women screamed subconsciously, thinking that the bandits were coming to catch them and play with them.

Fortunately, Fang Yuan closed the door the moment they opened it, blocking a lot of sound.

"Shh!!!"

"Don't talk, we are here to save you."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

When they came to the house, only Fang Yuan and Li Danqiu were left.

Including Wang Shiyu's groom, they were placed on guard outside.

"Damn beast, what a bunch of scum!"

Li Danqiu's childish face was full of great anger.

These bandits are too much, playing with women like livestock.

She noticed that even if she and Fang Yuan came in, there were still a few women in the room leaning against the wall and lying on the ground motionless.

It may have been an accident.

"Fang Yuan?!"

Among the women, Wang Shiyu exclaimed.

She rubbed her eyes, couldn't believe what she saw, until she was sure it was Fang Yuan, she wept with joy, ran towards Fang Yuan, hugged him tightly.

"do not Cry!"

"Shut up all of you!"

"We are here to save you, I will open the door later, you all leave with us, remember not to speak, not to make any noise!"

Fang Yuan pushed Wang Shiyu, said solemnly.

It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, you can't waste too much time here, you have to leave immediately.

"Fang Yuan, won't Miao Yan come to save me?!"

Wang Shiyu let go of Fang Yuan, wiped away tears and asked.

I don't know if she listened to what Fang Yuan said just now.

Anyway, she didn't see the person she loved came to save her, so she had a plan in her heart.

"She has already returned to Chang'an City."

"Did you understand what I just said? Did you understand?"

Fang Yuan's face sank, he said in a low voice.

There are too many people here, and everyone must be obedient if they want to rescue them all.

This is difficult, but it has to be done, otherwise they may yell to attract bandits, which is even more troublesome.

"understood."

"understood."

Wang Shiyu slowly came to his senses.

He finally understood his situation.

All the women nodded again and again, eyes full of desire to survive.

"Remember, no one can speak out."

Fang Yuan reminded again.

Then he looked at Li Danqiu who was at the side.

Li Danqiu saw so many people needing to be rescued, worried that he would be discovered.

It's just that she thinks the same as Fang Yuan, knowing that it can't be saved.

"Walk."

Li Danqiu said in a low voice.

Immediately open the door again.

Seeing this, Zheng Jiu and the others who were guarding the door breathed a sigh of relief.

But after seeing so many women coming out, his complexion suddenly changed.

"Don't think too much, retreat immediately."

Fang Yuan explained in a low voice.

Leading the way in the dark with Li Danqiu.

It was going well all the way, but suddenly, there was a scream from behind the line.

A woman staggered to the ground, wrestling and screaming.

"Who?"

The bandit on patrol suddenly heard a sound here, and walked here quickly.

"go!"

Fang Yuan gave a low drink.

Subconsciously pulled Wang Shiyu and ran away.

Li Danqiu, Zheng Jiu and the others immediately stepped up and fled.

"Run away!"

The women panicked and ran away screaming.

In an instant, more bandit patrols discovered the situation here.

"Enemy attack!"

"Someone escaped!"

"Block the gate of the village immediately!"

In the dark night, the light of the fire rushed towards this side quickly.

More bandits appeared, and the houses were lit up one after another.

"Change direction, escape this way!"

Li Danqiu cursed "Damn it" in his heart, and then stopped fleeing towards the gate of the village.

Sure enough, I was worried that there would be an accident if there were too many people.

Such a good chance of escape was ruined.

Without any hesitation, Fang Yuan pulled Wang Shiyu to follow Li Danqiu.

Zheng Jiu and others also followed, there are only five of them now.

"Wait for them!"

Wang Shiyu was pulled by Fang Yuan.

But I still think of those sisters behind me who are suffering from the same disease.

It's just that Fang Yuan ignored her, and directly shook off her hand, quickly following Li Danqiu.

It's not that Fang Yuan doesn't want to take care of those women, it's just that he has no way to take care of them.

There are too many of them, surpassing all the pioneers this time, and they cannot be taken away.

And since someone fell just now, they have already started to walk around and run away separately.

If Wang Shiyu is willing to wait for them, let her wait by herself.

Wang Shiyu's pupils shrank instantly, she didn't expect Fang Yuan to send her hand away.

At that moment, her hairs stood on end, her back felt chilly, and she felt as if her life had been thrown away.

She was alert all over her body, and when the thoughts of those women were instantly replaced by fear, she followed Fang Yuan and the others.

"This way, this way, follow me!"

The cottage is completely noisy.

All the bandits appeared, chasing Fang Yuan's people everywhere.

Fang Yuan was running with Li Danqiu, and finally reached a dead corner.

"Damn it, this place is sealed!"

Li Danqiu said in shock and anger.

She remembered that there was another door to go out here.

But now, this door has been blocked, blocked by trees standing one by one.

"How to do?"

Fang Yuan panted and asked.

At this time, Zheng Jiu and Li Siwen also arrived.

Wang Shiyu followed at the end, and finally followed.

"We can only hide and wait for reinforcements."

Li Danqiu's face was somber, and he said in a deep voice when he heard the footsteps of bandits approaching.

The only ones who can rely on now are Huang Da and the others who are rushing over.

"it's here!"

At this time, Fang Yuan and others were discovered.
