In fact, Zeng Chi was more cautious. He didn't trust the people at the inn, so he even left someone to guard the door of the inn to prevent bandits from attacking at night. But what Zeng Chi never expected was that the bandits had already entered Liangfengyi.
Although no abnormality was found, Zeng Chi was still more cautious. All food was tried by others first, and only after finding no problems did he let his subordinates eat it.
After driving for a long time, he was still a little tired, so he allowed everyone to drink less wine during the meal. After a few people drank two bowls and found no abnormalities, Zeng Chi finally felt relieved and allowed everyone to drink. .
The behavior of Zeng Chi and others shocked Youtong, who was watching from the sidelines, because he had been ordered to prepare a large amount of sweat medicine some time ago, and planned to put it in the wine.
Before leaving, the head master Ye Ying told You Tong that the medicine would have to be put in during the journey. You Tong was a little dissatisfied. Seeing the current situation, he couldn't help but secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, he listened to the head master's words, otherwise not only would things have happened If it doesn't work, it is very likely that my life will be handed over here.
"Why do you feel a little dizzy?" A servant who was eating and drinking suddenly said.
"Your drinking capacity is too bad...I'm a little dizzy." Another person was about to laugh at his companion but found that he was also a little weak.
"I'm also dizzy and want to sleep." Someone else said at this time.
"Everyone, please stop eating and drinking. There is something wrong with these food and drinks." At this time, someone finally came to his senses.
But it was already too late. Many people felt dizzy one after another, and soon fell to the ground without knowing anything. In the end, less than 10% of the more than 200 people in the team were not hit, and even the leader Zeng Chi fell to the ground.
When things developed to this point, Youtong and others no longer hid their identities and rushed out with swords in hand.
The county soldiers and officers who were still conscious suddenly became confused. Some fierce ones immediately raised their swords to resist, but they couldn't stand the number of bandits. After a while, they fell into a pool of blood.
The vast majority of the county soldiers and officers chose to surrender. Youtong and others did not embarrass them. They just tied them with ropes and took away the silver they carried.
A few hours later, Zeng Chi and others woke up from their coma, but the bandits accompanying the postman had already disappeared without a trace.
Zeng Chi was furious after losing his silver. He was protected by the powerful Zeng family. Although he would not be imprisoned, if he lost his official position and was driven back to the family, he would not be able to hold his head high in the Zeng family in the future.
However, Zeng Chi was also a ruthless man. He received news from a family spy that the bandits had been found in Mingshijian ahead, so he did not return to Heishan County immediately. Instead, he asked everyone to block the news of the robbery and continued Lead the team along the way.
According to the original schedule, he led the team to Mingshi Stream, which was the most suitable place for setting up an ambush. With the help of his family's power, Zeng Chi and his men severely wounded several groups of bandits who were ambushing there, and vented their resentment.
Several groups of bandits who were ambushing in Mingshi Stream were beaten into a panic. In the end, they did not understand that they were hunters but became prey. The officers and soldiers encountered this time were particularly ruthless, attacking him and others almost regardless of losses.
When this news reached the ears of everyone in the Flying Eagle Society, everyone couldn't help but secretly rejoice. Fortunately, they listened to the boss's arrangements and obtained this batch of silver at a very small price.
These 5,000 taels of silver were nothing short of a huge fortune for the Flying Eagle Club. After getting the taels of silver, Ye Ying first ordered it to be kept highly confidential, and then took out a small part to reward merit, and the other large part. As funds for the development of the cottage.
Feiying would be delighted to have successfully obtained so much silver at a very small price. If all the silver was bought into food, it would be enough for them to eat for several years.
Most of the bandits in the Flying Eagle Society are poor people who turned into bandits when they could no longer survive. It is indeed a very happy thing for them to be able to not go hungry now.
These silver taels have another meaning to Ye Ying. With money, the village has the possibility to develop and grow.
Ye Ying summoned the big and small bosses in the village and asked them to take people down the mountain in batches to recruit bandits. The most tempting promise these big and small bosses could give them when they went down the mountain was to follow them up the mountain. You don’t have to worry about going hungry.
Over the past few days, the Flying Eagle Club has been enveloped in an atmosphere of joy, but little did they know that a crisis was quietly approaching them.
Jinling, the capital of Daning, is where the wealthy families of Daning gather. At this time, in the pavilion of a luxurious house, there is a white-haired old man wearing a precious silk robe sitting, and in front of the old man, kneeling is a young man.
"Forget it, get up! If you fail your errand, just come back. Now you can stay at home and rest for a while. I will arrange a new position for you when you are free." Seeing the young man's frustrated look, the white-haired old man sighed. Said after taking a breath.
"But third uncle, Chi'er couldn't swallow this breath and wanted to settle this matter himself." After hearing the white-haired old man's words, the young man who was kneeling on the ground still did not stand up.
"Although my Zeng family is powerful, this matter is still a bit difficult to handle and can easily attract criticism." The white-haired old man glanced at the young man on the ground and said hesitantly.
"Didn't my third uncle teach us to get up wherever we fall? If we don't want to get out of here like a coward, this will not only disgrace me, but also disgrace our Zeng family." Seeing the white hair The old man felt a little moved, and the young man knelt on the ground and said.
"Hey, you kid, you have always caused trouble for me since you were a kid. How many days are you going to rest at home now? I'll have someone make arrangements for you." The white-haired old man looked at the young man on the ground with doting eyes for a long time. , finally said with a sigh.
"Thank you, third uncle. Please rest assured that I will not disgrace our Zeng family this time." Seeing that his begging was granted, the young man on the ground finally showed a satisfied smile.
This young man was none other than Zeng Chi. He was really unwilling to lose the silver, so he did not return to Heishan County at all. Instead, he rushed back to Jinling City as quickly as possible to find his third uncle, one of the elders of the Zeng family and who had loved him the most since childhood. Zeng Jianshan.
In this way, more than ten days after losing the money, Zeng Chichi of Heishan County returned to Heishan County and handed the county magistrate an official document.
Seriously speaking, the content of this official document is very ridiculous, because Zeng Chi, who failed in his errand, not only was not punished, but also got the right to mobilize soldiers and servants from several nearby counties.
However, the Heishan County magistrate was not surprised at all by this appointment, because he knew Zeng Chi's identity. The Zeng family, one of the six major families in Daning, had great hands and eyes. It was not easy to accomplish such a small thing. .
As for the lost silver, the Heishan County magistrate did not ask any more questions, as if this incident had not happened at all, because this batch of silver was originally given by Heishan County officials to honor officials of the Zeng family.
In this way, Zeng Chi, who returned to Heishan County, quickly gathered more than a thousand county soldiers and officers from several nearby counties. After a short training, he began a vigorous campaign to suppress bandits.
With the help of experts sent by the family, and the county soldiers and officers from the surrounding counties, Zeng Chi's bandit suppression operation went very smoothly because of his identity as a descendant of Zeng Chi's family.
Cao Kun, the king of Wolong, relied on the large number of people in the village and the complex terrain in the mountains, so he decided to use the terrain advantages to fight guerrilla warfare with the officers and soldiers. At first, he gained some advantages, but the officers and soldiers suffered a lot of losses.
Unexpectedly, Zeng Chi, who was secretly assisted by a master, took the beheading action. Several heads in the village were killed after taking the lead. Even Cao Kun, who was at the peak of the second level, did not escape this disaster. The leaderless Wolong Mountain bandits finally had to accept the fate of being wiped out.
There were more than 800 bandits in Sanwang Village in the Red River Valley, and they were surrounded by troops led by Zeng Chi. The bandits decided to rely on the high mountains and dangerous roads to defend the village, but they never expected that a few masters would get to the back of the village. Everyone was killed and injured, and not even one of the three leaders of Sanwangzhai escaped. Three were killed and two were captured.
Seeing the fierceness of the bandit suppression officers and soldiers, the Wutongshan Panlonghui bandits decisively abandoned the old campaign and prepared to take the opportunity to escape before the officers and soldiers formed a siege. Unexpectedly, Zeng Zengchi's plan to lure the snake out of the cave was planned. The officers and soldiers set up an ambush on the way, and all the bandits were surrounded. In the end, only a dozen people managed to break through and escape.
In this way, Zeng Chi annihilated several groups of bandits nearby, causing panic in the surrounding cities.
"Master, look!" Jiang Jing, the left military advisor of the Flying Eagle Association, handed a letter to Ye Ying with a sad look on his face.
Ye Ying also fell into silence after reading the letter. This letter was sent by a spy from Heishan County. The content of the letter was actually very simple. Zeng Chi had determined that the next target of attack would be Fei Ying. meeting.
"This guy is really difficult to deal with! I thought he didn't know who had robbed him of his money, so he had no choice but to let it go. But it turned out that he was determined to wipe out all the bandits nearby. If he had known better, he would not have killed the target of the robbery. It's decided on them." Upon hearing the news, Right Military Advisor Ge Yuncai frowned and said.
"How about we send the silver to Zhuifeng Ridge? Didn't we form an alliance with them and ask them to send people to help us survive this crisis." The leader Ge Shun was a timid man. The first thing he thought of Just spend money to avoid disaster.
"We can also simply leave Fulong Mountain first and settle down somewhere else, or we can wait for him to withdraw before coming back." Gui Sanniang continued Ge Shun's words.
"Don't be frightened by the more than a thousand officers and soldiers. Our mountain stronghold is not weak and has terrain advantages. I don't believe they can capture it." Chen Gang took a few pictures of the case in front of him and said loudly.
"Everything has been robbed, and what should be divided has been divided. Come as they come. I don't believe in their incompetence." The leader Youtong said loudly from the side. He thought that his actions last time were very beautiful, but now there are There is a tendency to be complained about, so there is some dissatisfaction in the tone.
Next, all the leaders expressed their attitudes, some said to fight, some said to flee, and some even thought that they would simply surrender to the powerful Zhuifeng Ridge.
"Leader You is right. When the soldiers come, they will block the water and cover the ground. When they come, we will fight. However, we must make adequate plans and must not fight unprepared battles." Ye Ying looked at the leaders present and thought for this. This thing set the tone.
Ye Ying is not old, but everyone in Feiying Council is convinced by him, so as his words fell, the leaders immediately stopped arguing and began to lower their heads to think about countermeasures.
The scene quickly fell into silence, and no one was willing to speak easily, because if anything were to go wrong, the Flying Eagle Society would be in a desperate situation.
