Chapter 55
Panyu County, Inspection Office

Xu Yuankai stared at the materials in front of him with a gloomy face. Every move of the Li family could not be hidden from his eyes and ears, recruiting young knights, secretly spreading rumors to improve their reputation, everything seemed ambitious.

Li Qing, who was famous in the county with him 30 years ago, the two were highly praised by the county for their literary and military skills. When he was young, he could not understand Li Qing. He is more popular than him, so Li Qing's life becomes more and more difficult under his deliberate suppression.

No one compares Li Qing to him anymore, and even secretly ordered someone to lure his son Li Qing to degenerate after the other party gave birth, but Li Qing's son Li Qing suddenly became famous, and he was even more disturbed by showing the wings of a strong man and ranger.

A cold light flashed in his eyes, Li Qing had to get rid of him, it was impossible for the other party not to notice what he did to the Li family.

Turn around and go to the county lieutenant's yamen, the inspections are under the supervision of the county lieutenant, Li Qing spreads his reputation to train soldiers, with his means, the Li family can't get away with a single charge of rebellion.

"I didn't expect you to be really stupid. You just want to make a comeback by recruiting a few rangers. You must know that the hearts of the people are as strong as iron, and the laws of the government are like furnaces. If you want to fight the government, you are still far away."

Entering the yamen with a sneer, the soldiers at the door naturally didn't dare to stop him. He walked straight to the lobby and saw a middle-aged man in his 40s and [-]s doing something beside the clerk. Wei Songkai of the county was sitting on the official seat drinking tea.

Smiling, he stepped forward to salute and said: "The humble Xu Yuankai sees Mr. Song."

There is a difference between the inspector and the county lieutenant, and there is no need to kneel and worship, and the county lieutenant is a hereditary inspector, so even the county lieutenant dare not easily offend the inspector.

Song Kai was over 40 years old. Although he was a civil servant, he was capable of martial arts and military skills. He could be regarded as a soldier. Seeing Xu Yuankai, the patrol inspector, begging for a visit, he smiled and asked, "Why is my nephew free to come here today?"

Please sit down Xu Yuankai, Xu Huhu is a local tyrant and has a very strong influence in Panyu, he doesn't want to be an enemy if it is not necessary.

Xu Yuankai replied: "My lord, someone came to report today that Li Qing, a talented scholar in this county, secretly recruited rangers. He had the intention of treason, so he came here to report to your lord."

A strange color flashed in Song Kai's eyes. He had long heard that Xu Huhu was jealous of Li Qingcai, a scholar in the county, who had been secretly suppressing him. It seemed that the hatred between the two parties was deeper than he thought.

He had met Li Qing before, and he admired his talent very much. Because Xu Huhu couldn't recruit him for his own use, he was even more disgusted when he saw that the other party wanted to charge him with treason. The heart is too vicious.

He said blankly: "I know what you said. Li Qing's son, Li Qing, has the heart of serving the court. The purpose of recruiting rangers is to guard against bandits. You just happened to be here, and they have just registered in the county."

Xu Yuankai was shocked, his eyes shifted to the middle-aged scribe next to him, his face was gloomy, he came a step late, the other party has already reported to the county government, so it is not good to say that the other party is treasonous.

After thinking about it in my heart, I thought about it, and said with a smile: "It turns out that Xu almost wronged a loyal and strong man. The autumn harvest is coming and we must guard against bandits."Speaking of this, he secretly took a look at the scribe and said: "The humble official has always planned to exterminate the bandits in Qingshan, but the strength is insufficient. Since the Li family has the heart to serve the court, it happens to send troops to exterminate the bandits together."

"this one"

Song Kai was a little hesitant, he couldn't see what Xu Huhu was thinking, after thinking for a moment, it was not worthwhile to offend Xu Huhu for a scholar.

Immediately said: "It's not for me to decide. It just so happens that their housekeeper Zhong Zhengye is here. My nephew might as well discuss it with them."

Zhong Zhengye knew the grievances between the Li family and the inspector Xu Yuankai, and he was a little worried that the other party attacked the Li family so soon, so he said with a sullen face: "It is an honor for my family to be able to exterminate bandits together with the inspector, but it is a pity that our regiment has just been built. Food, grass, and weapons are all lacking, and I am afraid that I cannot help you."

"How difficult is this? I will send the weapons and food to the Li family as soon as possible, and the date of sending troops will be set in three days."

The expectations are firm, with an undeniable arrogance.

Zhong Zhengye's face was flushed, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Of order."

Seeing the other party's face, Xu Yuankai sneered secretly, thinking that it would be ridiculous to think that he could turn himself around by establishing a group training, but he didn't know that Zhong Zhengye almost laughed out at this moment.

After bidding farewell and leaving the county government office, Zhong Zhengye finally couldn't help laughing. Xu Huhu thought he had taken advantage of it, but he didn't know that it was in his favor, and he also provided weapons for free. Now he has everything.

After returning to Li's house, he discussed with Li Qing and started to prepare. The next day Xu Yuankai really sent weapons, as if he was afraid that Li Qing would regret it.

Li Qing's face was as heavy as water. With the name of group training, many juniors of the family also joined the group training. It happened to establish a team according to the military system of this world. He served as the team leader himself, with Li Yuanlong as the deputy team leader. Wei Ziping, Shi Hongyu and others are so long.

When the agreed date came, he led a group of strong men to Qingyun Mountain, which was the meeting point agreed by the two parties. It was called Shiwulipu. It was originally a village, but it was robbed by bandits and abandoned.

After arriving at the foot of the mountain, Li Qing suddenly ordered to turn around, and instead of going to the assembly point, he headed directly into the mountain. Someone in the family went to the mountain to collect medicines and happened to know a path up the mountain.

The mountain road is difficult to walk, and rotten branches and leaves block the center of the path. The impenetrable mountain forest is particularly gloomy, and there are many evil spirits in the mountain, especially here.

Few people take this road unless they are forced to. Not only is the mountain road difficult to walk, but also the evil spirits hiding in the forest will sneak up on the lonely mountain people at any time.

Li Qing is naturally not afraid of these, they are the reincarnation of spirits, and still have the ability to sense the breath of evil spirits, if they find evil spirits, a group of strong men will naturally not be afraid.

At Shiwulipu, Xu Yuankai waited quietly. As time went by, he became more and more impatient. In late autumn, the weather became hotter and hotter. They agreed to meet at noon. At this time, it was almost noon and there was no sign of Li Qingtuan practicing.

"Isn't it because I'm afraid of bandits and dare not come?" said his confidant while fanning Xu Yuankai.

Xu Yuankai stared angrily: "He dares, if Li Qing doesn't come, I will let him know the harshness of military law."

Now that the promise was made and the weapons were delivered, if Li Qing violated the contract again, he would dare to arrest him directly and charge him with fear of the enemy.

When he was planning how to deal with Li Qing, Li Qing had already arrived outside the cottage.

Li Qing looked at the loosely guarded stronghold. There were a few bandits standing guard scattered around the perimeter. An earthen wall surrounded the bandits, and a high lookout post was built inside.

"In Xu Yuankai's Fish and Meat Township, as an inspector, he sold the land at a low price after the bandits broke the village. The land alone has [-] mu. He must have colluded with the bandits."

"The cottage is loosely guarded, and the main force must have set up an ambush at the foot of the mountain to wait for us. The cottage is at a time when the guards are empty."

Li Qing said calmly, when the voice reached the ears of his subordinates, the morale of the army was greatly boosted. Seeing that everyone was eager to try, he knew that the fear in these recruits who had never seen blood had been eliminated.

Feeling secretly satisfied in his heart, he pulled out his sword at his waist and shouted angrily: "The mountain bandits rape women and plunder every village. The government is incompetent and instead colludes with them. The government doesn't care about us. Killing a thief will give you five taels of silver. Let me kill." .

After speaking, he rushed to the stronghold first, and the strong men under him were stimulated by the huge reward Li Qing promised, and followed him with roars.
