"No way? Both Zhu Dian and Lei Heng are highly skilled in martial arts. Especially Zhu Dian, whose martial arts skills are so good that even I may not be able to defeat him!"
After hearing this, Chao Gai's expression changed. There were only a handful of heroes in Yuncheng County. The only one he could fear in terms of martial arts was Zhu Tong, and even Lei Heng was not enough.
"Bao Zhengqie, don't underestimate the current Liangshan. Being able to seize Liangshanbo's share of the inheritance quietly shows how terrifying this person is!"
Wu Yong shook his head and said, the terrain of Liangshan Park is dangerous and 800 miles surrounded by water, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is an excellent place for falling grass in the east of Jingdong. How many people peek at it but cannot get it.
"Then what should I do according to the scholar's words? Send someone to tip off the news? Selling a favor?"
Chao Gai said reluctantly.
"Baozheng, are you unwilling?"
Wu Yong looked at Chao Gai and asked.
"Pedant, I have never had any contact with the people in Liangshan, why should I sell any favors to them? What's more, these guys have no moral integrity at all. They raided two of my gambling houses and didn't even take me seriously!"
Chao Gai said angrily.
"I've also heard about this. Liangshan has suddenly become domineering, and many powerful people in the surrounding villages and towns have expressed their opinions."
Wu Yong nodded.
"More than just opinions, many people have contacted me and want to unite to fight against Liangshan Bo. This time the Yuncheng County army went to suppress Liangshan Bo to explore the bottom of Liangshan Bo and see who is hiding on the mountain!"
Chao Gai sneered and said that the powerful villagers and towns around them were planning to unite to fight against Liang Shanbo, but now that the government and the army have come forward, it will save them trouble.
At the third watch, the county captain, Zhu Dian, and Lei Heng led the soldiers to leave Chaojiazhuang. From night to noon, the army rushed to the outside of Shijie Village.
"This Shijie Village Hudang, close to Liangshan Bo, is a vast reed harbor. Without a large army of officers and soldiers, boats and horses, who would dare to go there to catch the thieves?"
Zhu Tong pointed to Shijie Lake in the distance and said.
"This is really troublesome. We are leading local soldiers who are horse archers. We don't have boats, so we can't enter the lake!"
The county captain looked helpless at Shijie Lake.
"What's the problem? There are many fishermen and fishing boats in this village. I will take people to conquer it right now!"
Lei Heng pointed to Shijie Village on the side and said, there are fishing villages all around the lake, and there are definitely a lot of fishing boats.
"Lei Dutou, we are ordered to suppress bandits, how can we disturb the people? This is expressly prohibited by the county magistrate."
Zhu Tong said.
"Ordinary people are naturally not allowed to cause nuisance, but this Shijie Village is different. The three Ruan brothers went up to the mountains to become bandits. The people in this village not only did not report to the county government, but also had many contacts with them. How are they different from bandits?"
Lei Heng didn't see it that way. In his opinion, people in the government should be more domineering.
"What Lei Dutou said is true. These villagers in the mountains are evil and recalcitrant. If the army is to wipe out the bandits, they should cooperate and go to the villages to recruit fishing boats!"
The county lieutenant still felt that Lei Heng was right. It was official business for them to suppress the bandits, and the people along the way should try their best to cooperate. If they resisted, they were colluding with the bandits.
When the army entered the village, there was a sudden disturbance. In addition to recruiting fishing boats, the chickens and ducks raised by each household also suffered. These soldiers were hungry after traveling for a long time. The dry food they carried with them had no taste. After seeing the chickens, The ducks, cattle and sheep can bear it.
"County Lieutenant, isn't this so bad?"
When Zhu Tong saw the soldiers making a fuss in the village, he frowned and said to the county captain, "Aren't the officers and soldiers acting like bandits?"
"Why not? The army is out to get food on the spot. This is what the art of war says, and the people everywhere should cooperate. Now the army is just getting food, not being promiscuous. Zhu Dou is worried too much."
The county captain stroked his beard and smiled.
"You...can't...can't, we paid the protection fee!"
A middle-aged man in the village pulled one of his pigs and shouted at the soldiers who were surrounding him.
"How dare you resist, a village thief who is collaborating with bandits! Take it from me. Once Liangshan is destroyed, he will be taken back to the county government to be punished!"
Seeing that the man dared not cooperate and had a deal with the thief, Lei Heng immediately asked the soldiers to take him away, and the pig was also taken away.
"Lord County Captain, there are indeed thieves hiding in this village. Many people have done business with the thieves. I have ordered them to be tied up. After the thieves are eliminated, they will be escorted back to the county office for interrogation. There are also hundreds of fishing boats, enough for an army to enter the lake! "
Lei Heng returned with a full load and pointed at the dozen or so villagers who were tied up. No matter how the bandits were suppressed this time, this job could be done.
"Haha, Lei Dutou does things efficiently."
The county lieutenant laughed loudly as he looked at the tied villagers. He knew what Lei Heng meant. What they wanted was a few heads, and it was unrealistic to attack Liangshan with just the few people they had.
"I have been fishing all my life in Liao'erwa, and I have not planted any green seedlings or hemp. I have killed all the cruel and corrupt officials. I will repay my brother with my loyalty."
Just as the officers and soldiers on the shore were preparing to light a fire and make food, a small boat came out of the reed swamp, and Ruan Xiaowu appeared, rocking the oar and oar, singing songs.
"County Lieutenant, that is Ruan Xiaowu!"
Lei Heng took a closer look and immediately recognized that the man on the boat was the short-lived Erlang Ruan Xiaowu.
"The bold bandit dares to despise my own officer. Come on, get on the ship and destroy the bandit!"
The county lieutenant pointed at the fishing boats in the river port of Shijie Village and ordered Zhu Tong and Lei Heng.
The officers and soldiers, led by Zhu Tong and Lei Heng, boarded the fishing boats, and dozens of fishing boats chased Ruan Xiaowu.
Ruan Xiaowu smiled as he looked at the pursuing officers and soldiers, swung his oars and rowed into the reed marsh.
"Ruan Xiaowu, please run away!"
Lei Heng shouted, but when he arrived at the reed swamp, there was no trace of Ruan Xiaowu.
"I grew up in Shijie Village, and my nature is to kill people. Behead the dog official of Yuncheng first, and then go up the mountain to offer it to my brother!"
Ruan Xiaoqi appeared in the reeds on the other side singing a song.
"Ruan Xiaoqi! Chase after him!"
Lei Heng looked for the song and recognized Ruan Xiaoqi again.
"Lei Dutou, there's something strange in this reed swamp, we'd better evacuate first!"
Zhu Tong looked at the messy reed swamp, and there was no chance he would get lost if he went in.
"I'm so afraid of him. If I chase him and capture him alone, I can wipe out Liangshan Po."
Lei Heng did not stop. He could see clearly that Ruan Xiaoqi only had one person and one boat. They could catch him if they rushed forward.
"It turns out it's Lei Heng and Zhu Tong. You two dirty men who tortured the people dare to come to Shijie Lake. You will never come back today!"
When Ruan Xiaoqi saw Lei Heng coming with his fleet, he immediately laughed arrogantly.
"Fire the arrow!"
Seeing that the distance was enough, Lei Heng immediately asked the archer to release arrows.
A hail of arrows hit Ruan Xiaoqi's fishing boat. Ruan Xiaoqi's empty boat had no cover at all. When he saw it, he turned over and jumped into the water.
"Lance!"
When Lei Heng saw Ruan Xiaoqi entering the water, he immediately asked the pikemen to stab the water with their spears, but Ruan Xiaoqi had already escaped.
"The thief in the village only knows how to run away!"
Seeing that he couldn't catch it, Lei Heng pointed at the water and cursed.
"The three brothers of the Ruan family are proficient in water properties. It is difficult for us to go to Liangshan Po."
Zhu Tong looked at the water and frowned. The thieves on Liangshan Mountain were all proficient in water properties. They thought that this eight hundred miles of water would be as difficult as climbing to the sky.
"These thieves will hide here and there to see if I don't burn this reed marsh!"
Lei Heng gritted his teeth and cursed angrily, but he was just speaking out of anger. The reed marsh was just above the water, so how could it be so easy to burn.
"It is rumored that San Ruan has already gone to Liangshan. Why are he still in Shijie Lake? Do they know that we are coming here?"
Zhu Tong looked at Liangshan Lake outside the reed marsh. Shijie Lake was not big. Why did Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi know that their officers and soldiers were here?
