Chapter 40 Blood Banquet

Early the next morning, Li Yun went to the county government office to ask for an audience with the county magistrate.

"Your Majesty, the security in the city has deteriorated recently, and there have been many incidents of robbery and murder."

"That's all in the past. I don't dare to spoil the magistrate's mood with these trivial matters. But now that there are so many gentry in the city, I'm afraid someone will take risks and harm the gentry's life. That would be bad."

Li Yun came well prepared and brought many real case files, but he had suppressed such matters before, and Magistrate Ding only pretended not to know.

Now that his purpose was clear, once he put this in front of Magistrate Ding, his persuasive power became extremely strong.

Magistrate Ding didn't like to hear bad news the most. His brows knitted together when he heard this, "Then we will strengthen patrols, ask the neighbors to protect each other, and drive those beggars out of the city."

Li Yun smiled bitterly and said:
"Doesn't the county magistrate know what the city walls of our county look like?"

"Just drive all the beggars out, and in a few days they will fill the county again."

"As for strengthening patrols, sir, the county officials are busy raising good supplies and equipment for the army, and there is really a shortage of manpower."

Magistrate Ding suddenly became anxious and shouted angrily:
"This won't work, and that won't work either. What use do you have?"

"Go find a solution yourself and don't come here to make noise!"

Li Yuncheng was so frightened that he hurriedly bowed his head, hiding the expression on his face, and replied:
"The villain does have an idea, and I would like your support from the county."

"Now that the situation is special, why don't the county magistrates ask Baozheng from each village to lead Baoding to the county to assist."

"The autumn harvest has passed, and Baoding is free. Even if he comes to the county to help, it will not affect the farm work."

"Baoding is just assisting with some patrol chores. He doesn't need to fight with thieves. There is no danger."

"When reinforcements from the state arrive and the Yushan bandits are wiped out, the gentry can leave the city and return home, and Baoding can be released at that time."

After hearing what Li Yun said, Magistrate Ding suddenly turned from anger to joy and praised:
"It's rare that you have such a clever plan. You are indeed a capable person. The county did not misjudge you."

"If there is a similar magic method in the future, you might as well talk about it. As long as it is useful, this county will use it."

Dingzhi County agreed to Li Yun's suggestion and immediately sent notices to the Baozheng of each village and town, ordering the government officials to go and notify.

Of course, Li Qing also received it. Although he was quite reluctant, this kind of order was justifiable and he couldn't resist it. He had no choice but to gather his guards and pick some old and weak people to go with him to the county town.

As for the elite soldiers, they all stayed in the manor to guard against the Yushan bandits.

The other local gangsters had almost the same idea and took over a hundred cannon fodder to deal with the problem.

A group of people gathered in the county. They first went to the magistrate's office to complete all the necessary procedures and assigned tasks to each of them to take charge of defense-related matters in the city.

These Baozhengs were all local tycoons, and they were even better than the gentry hiding in the county. Of course, Magistrate Ding did not dare to neglect them. After his colleagues finished the work, he offered to hold a banquet at Yipinxuan to cleanse the dust of the Baozhengs.

It was almost evening and it was still dark before the long street where Yipinxuan was located was already noisy with cars and horses, and the gentry who came for the banquet were everywhere.

They are all well-known people in the county. Most of them are familiar with each other. When they meet, they have to say a few polite words before going upstairs.

When there are a large number of people, it is inevitable that there will be a crowd in front of the building.

For convenience, each family left their servants downstairs and opened a few tables to accommodate them. The upstairs was where the gentry gathered.

When the time was almost up, Magistrate Ding got off the bus in front of the building on time and walked into the lobby under the welcome of everyone.

When Ding Zhixian went upstairs, all the gentry also stood up and saluted. Everyone was polite again. After the process was completed and the guests and hosts were seated, Ding Zhixian was the first to stand up and toast.As soon as he stood up, before he could say the toast, he heard a burst of noise coming from downstairs, but it was hard to hear what was being shouted across the box.

Everyone frowned in unison, this was so rude.

Ding Zhixian winked at Master Song. Master Song understood. He stood up and was about to go downstairs when he heard the thump of footsteps. Then the door of the box was knocked open with a "thud", and a person was covered in blood. , stumbled in and shouted:
"It's a disaster!"

"The Yushan bandits...are coming to kill!"

Before he finished speaking, a big black man followed closely, raised an ax in his hand, and cut the man in half. The blood was like a waterfall, and within five steps, everyone was completely naked.

"Ah..." The gentry had never seen this before, and they were immediately frightened to death and fell to the ground one after another.

Li Gui glanced around and saw the people sitting at the head. Although he didn't know which one was Li Qing, he was sure to kill them all.

"Thieves who harm the people will take a certain axe!"

Li Gui shouted loudly, jumped up, aimed at the person closest to the good-for-nothing in official robes in the middle, and hit him with an axe.

It was also a coincidence that this person was Li Qing.

This official Li was also from the Lian family. He was much better than the other gentry who were messed up. When he saw Li Gui coming forward to chop, he didn't panic. He pressed the dining table with both hands and raised his arms hard. He threw the banquet table towards Li Gui.

He didn't feel panic at all at this time, because he knew very well that although the guards brought by these security guards on this trip were all old and weak, the bodyguards he carried with him were not weak.

Take him as an example. Several heroes in Zhuangzi were drinking wine downstairs, including the coach Wu Cheng. It only took a moment to kill them and save them.

To put it bluntly, more than half of the tough guys in Yishui County are now in this restaurant.

No matter how powerful the Yushan bandits are, they can't withstand the attack of so many heroes.

Sure enough, when Li Gui split the table with an ax and faced Li Qing again, there was a continuous sound on the stairs behind him, and several people rushed up. The leader held a six-edged steel gun in his hand, and pointed his upper hand at Li Gui's back. One shot, it was not Wu Cheng.

Li Qing was overjoyed and screamed, holding a round stool in each hand, and smashed it at Li Gui at the same time.

Li Gui laughed, swung the axe, and made a spin. The two of them felt a sharp pain coming from the tiger's mouth. They couldn't control it, and the weapon was knocked away immediately.

The two round stools shattered into pieces in mid-air and hit the gentry next to them like hailstones, causing everyone to scream and roll on the ground.

As for the spear, the wooden pole had been broken off, like two javelins, piercing straight into the chests of the two unlucky men.

Li Gui struck back with an axe, slashing into Wu Cheng's forehead, splitting his body in half, and blood and internal organs flowed all over the floor.

Li Gui laughed heartily, picked up the half of the body with his ax and threw it towards the guests.

Although this box was not small, there were too many gentry, and there were tables, chairs, and benches, so it was impossible to hide away even if you wanted to. Suddenly, all the gentry were either smashed over by corpses, or had blood sprayed all over their heads and faces, and they were so scared that they peed. Pants.

No one below knew the situation in the box. There were still a large number of people rushing up the stairs, launching a desperate attack on Li Gui.

Li Gui stood firm with a stake and swung his ax as if he was chopping wood. He didn't pay attention to any martial arts moves. He just held his head and chopped off, fast and heavy, making it difficult to dodge.

The bodyguards who rushed up to protect the courtyard were all experts in the county and had well-known names in the world, but facing a fool like Li Gui, they were of no use at all. It was an ax that cut two pieces, killing him on the spot.

In Li Gui's eyes, he could only see streaks of white or dark gray luck floating above the corpses of these gentry and heroes, sinking into his own body, pushing his physical quality towards some exaggerated intensity. , couldn't help laughing, and killed even more energetically.
