"Daughter, how do you plan to kill Qingfeng Village and Nie Chen?"
The head of the Liu family asked.
Liu Jia snorted coldly and said,
"What can we do? We can find officers and soldiers. Do you think the private soldiers raised by the Liu family can be put to use? It's okay to let them look after the home and the hospital. But if we really want to suppress the bandits, can they defeat the bandits?
I've told you before, don't be reluctant to spend money to raise soldiers. Now is the time of trouble. If you don't have soldiers, anyone can bully you. But it's better for you. You are obsessed with money. You will lose the big because of the small. One day the bandits will come. , you will be happy when your family is exterminated because there are not enough manpower to protect it. "
The head of the Liu family was used to being scolded by his daughter every day. He smiled and said,
"Then all the money I earn is kept for you. After I die, isn't it all yours?"
"Then why don't you die?"
"You...you kid, what are you talking about? If I die now, which of those uncles and brothers will not care about your money? They will not eat you alive."
The head of the Liu family sighed and said,
"That's all, I'll go to the county government again and ask the county magistrate to send troops to suppress the bandits. I paid him so much money before, and he didn't get this money in vain."
"I know, go quickly."
Liu Jia waved her hands impatiently.
After the head of the Liu family went out, Liu Jia waited for a moment, then turned and walked outside.
After leaving the house and coming to the door of the next door, Liu Jia opened the door directly and entered.
"Greetings, Miss."
This family has nothing to do with the Liu family on the surface. In fact, they are Liu Jia's own people, and they are the influence she secretly cultivated.
She arranged for someone to buy the house next door to the Liu family, pretending to be an ordinary merchant family, but in fact she had arranged it to become her base of power.
Even the head of the Liu family didn't know about this.
Liu Jia walked straight into the main hall without looking at the old servant who opened the door. Then, a servant moved the desk in the main hall and lifted the floor, revealing a downward passage.
In the passage, there were torches burning for illumination, and further down, there was a wide basement.
This basement was dug by Liu Jia while he was repairing the yard. The vents were made very hidden, and a lot of food, gold, silver, and weapons were stored in it.
In the basement, there were hundreds of people in black clothes, sitting or standing. Seeing Liu Jia coming, hundreds of people in black clothes immediately came over, lined up neatly, held hands and bowed,
"Greetings, my lord!"
Liu Jia nodded lightly and said to the leading man,
"Qi Huan, take people out tonight to explore the trade routes between the barbarians in Qingfeng Village. If you find their caravan, bring back all the people and goods.
I want to try their wine myself and ask for the recipe.
Remember, disguise yourself as bandits and don’t let anyone discover your identity. "
"The villain understands."
Qi Huan nodded and asked people to prepare weapons.
"Also, arrange manpower. Whether you send people to sneak into Qingfeng Village or bribe people, I need to know what Nie Chen did inside."
"The villain understands."
After Liu Jia finished speaking, he turned around and left. Qi Huan and his men began to prepare for action.
On the other side, the head of the Liu family arrived at the county government office in a carriage, and the county magistrate Mr. Wei hurried out to greet him.
"Master Wei, I'm here this time because I'm here to investigate."
The head of the Liu family sat down on the chair and started to speak with a straight face.
"Ah? Master Liu is really good at joking. I really don't know where I have offended you, Master Liu."
Mr. Wei said with a smile.
"Master Wei, do you still remember that last month you sent someone to escort the Nie family into exile. The Nie family and his wife died and were thrown into a mass grave, but Nie Chen ran away. Do you still remember?"
"Remember, I have issued a wanted order and it has spread throughout the county. As long as someone finds traces of Nie Chen, I will immediately send troops to arrest him and present his head to you, the head of the Liu family."
"Then there's no need to bother Mr. Wei. We have already found Nie Chen's traces."
"Oh? Found it? Where is it? I will send someone to arrest him right away!"
"Qing! Feng! Village!"
The head of the Liu family said word by word.
"What? This kid went to Qingfeng Village?"
"Yes, not only did he go to Qingfeng Village, he also became the second leader there. He is a very powerful person, one person is inferior to ten thousand people.
Mr. Wei, this matter is due to your incompetence and oversight. What should you do? "
The head of the Liu family looked at the county magistrate coldly.
Mr. Wei's lips turned bitter, he shook his head and said,
"Master Liu, I'm afraid this matter is a bit difficult to handle. You don't know that Qingfeng Village is different from the past.
Previously, Heifengling sent 600 people to attack Qingfeng Village, but the entire army was annihilated.
Later, Zhang Taonian, the head of Heifengling, gathered seven or eight bandits from the village and made a fight with Qingfeng Village. However, they lost again.
Qingfeng Village has wiped out most of the bandit forces in Qingshui County. Now the other bandits don't dare to take the lead. They are all very honest. Qingshui County has suddenly become a lot more peaceful. "
The head of the Liu family snorted coldly and said,
"Hmph, the banditry that caused the most trouble in Qingshui County was actually solved by bandits. It is really ridiculous for bandits to suppress bandits.
Lord Wei is afraid of what he will do. They are just a group of bandits and refugees. They want knives but not knives, and they want food but not food. They live in drunkenness and sleep all day long, and they can bully the people. How can they fight against the officers and soldiers?
How powerful was Niu Kui Mountain before? Wasn't it still wiped out twice by the government and defeated in a crushing manner?
This time, let’s destroy Qingfeng Village. No matter what, I want to see Nie Chen’s head.
Or, I personally write a letter to the county magistrate, asking him for help? "
"No need, no need, Mr. Liu, I will send officers and soldiers to destroy Qingfeng Village tomorrow without any delay."
Just kidding, the head of the Liu family is a guest of the county governor and a big benefactor. If he sends a letter, the county governor will definitely scold him for his incompetence in doing things. He can't even wipe out a bandit, and he no longer needs to be a county magistrate.
It's a pity that both the county magistrate Mr. Wei and the head of the Liu family have only heard a little bit about the achievements of Qingfeng Village, thinking that it was just a fight between bandits, which was fundamentally unworthy, and knew nothing about the combat effectiveness of Qingfeng Village.
After the head of the Liu family left, the county magistrate shouted,
"Come here, call Commander Wang over quickly!"
…
night,
Qingfeng Village.
Nie Chen finished a tiring day's work and took off his steel armor. When he was about to take a shower, a little bandit suddenly came over and shouted,
"Second Boss, Second Boss, our caravan was robbed."
"What the hell? I'm in the arms business and can still be robbed? What unlucky guy can be so blind?"
Nie Chen is still very confident in the escort capabilities of his caravan.
