My Red Mansion Career

Chapter 30 Letterhead
Jia Yu had no mercy for this fierce bandit.

After piercing the opponent's shield, he released the spear without hesitation and stepped forward, pulled out a dagger from his waist and stabbed the opponent's left ribs.

Jia Yu, who is well aware of the vitality of human joints, stabs people from bottom to top, which can damage the internal organs of the human body to the maximum extent.

Until the dagger finally touched the opponent's heart and stirred twice, Jia Yu ignored the thief whose face was deformed due to the severe pain, and then pulled out the dagger.

In an instant, surging blood surged out of the wound like tap water with a faucet turned on.

Scarlet blood spurted out one meter away, and the surging blood instantly scalded a small puddle on the snow.

Although he suffered fatal injuries, the strong vitality made the sword and shield wielder struggle for a while, and then he closed his eyes unwillingly.

The raid has been going on so far, and the bandits' defeat is a foregone conclusion.

Bandits fleeing in all directions, a battlefield littered with corpses, and a scene of chaos and collapse unfolded before our eyes.

The ignited wooden house was still burning, black smoke filled the valley, and the burning flames reflected the entire sky red.

The thieves fled in all directions like frightened birds.

They fled in all directions, just hoping to survive.

The shouts of killing and the flash of swords mixed with each other.

It didn't take long for the fallen body to become extremely cold.

Although many frozen corpses were lifeless, their faces still showed the fear and despair before death.

The ground was littered with wooden sticks, broadswords, spears and other weapons.

In this panic, these things have become ownerless things.

Cries and calls intertwined into a chorus that resounded through the sky.

It was the moans of the wounded who fell to the ground and cried out in pain. Many bandits who survived were covering their wounds and shouting in pain.

How brutal they were when they plundered the passing merchants before, they were just as painful now.

A soldier from the Selected Front Battalion, who is either holding a spear or carrying a shield and a sword, is walking on the battlefield. If he sees the bandit who has not picked up his sword, he will not hesitate to give them a blow.

Next to these corpses was a thief who had lost his courage and could only kneel down and beg for mercy in order to survive.

On the other side, Wu Yunchun led nearly a hundred soldiers under his command to put out the fire and snatch out the valuable things inside.

"Quick... move faster!"

"Be careful!"

A famous soldier rushed into the house regardless of the raging fire and quickly moved out a lot of things, but a closer look revealed some worthless rags.

Looking at the busy figures, Jia Yu fell into deep thought.

These bandits from Erlong Mountain have been running rampant in Changping Mansion for many years, and they must have accumulated a lot of wealth. If it were me, I would definitely find a safe place to hide it.

From this point of view, these wooden houses used for living are basically impossible to store looted materials.

Thinking of this, he called Xie Youyuan and gave a few instructions in a low voice. Soon Xie Youyuan hurriedly took the order and left.

In less than half an hour, Xie Youyuan ran over almost at a trot. Looking at his mouth that could barely close, Jia Yu knew that he must have gained a lot.

"Captain Jia...Captain Jia...the thieves have recruited them, and their things are hidden in a cave behind the valley."

"go!"

Jia Yu had just summoned more than a dozen soldiers to go to the cave to have a look, when he saw Wu Yunchun hurried over and handed him a stack of letter paper.

"Captain Jia, look at these."

Jia Yu took the letter and opened it with the help of firelight...

After a long time, Jia Yu slowly raised her head and sneered: "Qi Jianhui... I didn't expect that he really colluded with the bandits in Erlong Mountain.

Haha... The dignified guard of Changping Mansion actually turned into a bandit leader sitting on the ground to share the stolen goods. It is really the most ridiculous thing in the world. He folded the letter and put it back in the envelope, and asked Wu Yunchun, "Lao Wu, who else has read these letters?" "

"No." Wu Yunchun shook his head: "This is a serious matter. I will send it to you as soon as possible after reading it. No third person has seen it."

"Idiot." Jia Yu glared at him fiercely, then looked at Xie Youyuan.

Xie Youyuan, who was glanced at by Jia Yu, turned pale with fright and waved his hands like windmills.

"Captain Jia, I haven't seen a word of these letters."

People in the age of monarchy understood better that curiosity can kill a cat. This is also the way for little people to survive.

"It's too late to say that now."

Jia Yu put the letter back in his arms and said to the two of them: "Order the soldiers to seize the time to clean the battlefield and find out all the gold, silver and valuables hidden by the thieves.

In particular, we need to find all the horses and carts. We will set off immediately after dawn. "

Xie Youyuan asked excitedly: "Captain Jia, are we going back to Beijing?"

"What kind of capital are you going back to? Don't forget that Qi Jianhui is still staying in Changping Mansion."

“But…” Xie Youyuan hesitated, “Captain Jia, there are only two hundred of us in total.

But Changping Mansion has a standing force of 2000 people. "

Two hundred versus two thousand, any fool knows the result.

"Of course I know, so we have to outsmart him this time.

By the way, Lao Wu, I will write a letter later, and you immediately send two brothers to Shenjing overnight to deliver to Shenwu General Feng. Do you understand? "

Wu Yunchun also understood the seriousness of the matter and nodded solemnly.

Jia Yu did not hesitate, strode into an unburnt wooden house, took out a pen and paper and quickly wrote a letter and handed it to Wu Yunchun.

Soon, the two soldiers mounted their fast horses and galloped towards the capital...

Changping Prefecture

It was just dawn today. Qi Jianhui, who never got up until midnight in the past, got up early and went to the Tax Collector's Office outside the East City Gate for the first time.

As the intersection of the canal and Shenjing, the East City Gate is the busiest place in Changping Prefecture. Whether it is merchants traveling from north to south, scholars taking exams, or even officials, anyone who wants to enter Beijing must pass by here.

On weekdays, Qi Jianhui's biggest hobby is sitting at the door of the Tax Collector's Department, his eyes shining like copper coins when he looks at a businessman who comes to pay taxes.

But today, Qi Jianhui was sitting in the same seat, but he always felt a little uneasy, but he couldn't explain why.

Could it be that you were feeling unwell because you drank too much last night?
He tapped his somewhat groggy head lightly and thought to himself: He can no longer drink like this in the future. The ancients said that wine is a poison that penetrates the intestines, and color is a steel knife for scraping bones.

If you continue to indulge like this, once your body collapses, what's the point of making more money?

"Sir, it's cold. Please drink a cup of hot tea first."

At this time, a tax collector brought him a cup of tea.

Qi Jianhui picked up the tea cup and took a sip. A bitter yet sweet taste flowed down his esophagus into his stomach, which also lifted his spirits.

"Good tea!" Qi Jianhui nodded with satisfaction and praised: "Not bad, not bad...it's rare that you can make such good tea."

The tax collector had a smile on his face and said, "As long as you like it, sir. If you are satisfied, I will make you another pot."

"Well……"

Qi Jianhui smiled and was about to speak when he saw a group of people coming not far away.

The red armor, red fat coats and flying flags all show that this is an official army of the imperial court.
