It is a lie that the wine fairy wants to rob Liu's salt well, but it is true that the local county magistrate has taken a fancy to this spring with gold flowing from the ground.
Even if Liu Jing sold the coarse salt in his hand to get money and invited a group of people back, he would still be no match for Ma Ji.
By then the bandits will definitely massacre all of them, leaving no one alive. The county magistrate can easily pocket the salt well under the pretext of suppressing the bandits.
This game is a dead end for the Liu family, unless there is a strong dragon to suppress this local snake.
Who is Qianglong?
Gao Kan is the one who saves lives.
He is just a bandit. When he returns from Daming Mansion, he only needs to ask Yang Zhi to lead his men to Yizhou Mansion and level Duankou Mountain.
I then asked Taiwei Gao for an official document to transfer the Liu family's salt well to the government, and no one could touch the salt well, either officials or bandits.
It's just that Liu Jing didn't understand the true meaning before, and thought that Gaokan was just like the person who took away the salt well passed down by his family, and he also wanted to take it by force.
Tian Mi is a smart person and knows how powerful it is.
After some explanations, he became very knowledgeable, so he naturally offered his services respectfully and voluntarily.
Although money is tempting, you have to live to accept it. Giving up half of it will be heartbreaking, but it is better than dying by the sword.
Gao Kan just waved his hand and said: "That's all. Tell him, prepare the formalities and sign them. As for the coarse salt in the inn, put it under your tooth shop first and find an opening to sell it. The rest will be waiting for me." Let’s talk about it after the young master returns from Daming Mansion.”
Hearing this, Tian Mi's expression changed, and he said: "Eldest Master, the Liu family brothers are worried about the safety of their families. It has been more than two months since we left this trip. If we delay it any longer, I'm afraid..."
"What are you afraid of?" Gao Kan glanced at Tian Mi and continued.
"Then Ma Ji doesn't see his brothers, and he doesn't even have a boss, so why take action?"
"Yes, yes, the villain understands. Go back and tell him now." Tian Mi nodded in agreement.
After dismissing Tian Mi with a wave of his hand, Gao Kan continued to recuperate.
The internal injuries caused by Lu Zhishen's punch have recovered a lot after these few days of recovery.
There is a dull pain on weekdays, but it is mild and does not hinder travel. The Liu brothers' incident is just an episode. Gaokan's focus is still on the four heroes of Huangmen Mountain and the financial path of Daming Mansion.
After being raised for another two days, he generally recovered well. He notified Lin Chong and Lu Zhishen in advance and asked Tian Mi to make arrangements before setting off.
In the early morning of this day, Tian Mi led the carriages and horses of the Yaxing porters early, loaded the grain and grass to wait in front of the house.
After Gao Kan packed up, he asked Yang Zhi to pick twenty handymen from among the people in the backyard and set off together before going out.
Lin Chong and Lu Zhishen arrived later, but they came together, so they didn't need to wait any longer. After counting the people, vehicles and horses, they headed for Huangmen Mountain.
On the first day after leaving Tokyo Prefecture, after walking for most of the day, I found an inn near Guan Road to stay.
The companions packed up their carriages and horses and rested separately.
Lin Chong, Lu Zhishen, Tian Mi and Ya Xing were having a drink downstairs. Yang Zhi was worried and guarded the backyard.
Due to the bumpy journey, Gao Kan's injuries that had mostly recovered showed signs of recurrence, so he rested in his room.
It wasn't until late at night that he fell asleep for a while.
Suddenly there was a soft knock at the door, which made him wake up and ask, "Who is it?"
"Sir, it's me, Yang Zhi!" Yang Zhi said outside the door.
After hearing this, Gao Kan sat up and said, "It's Coach Yang, come in."
Then he saw Yang Zhi push the door open and come in with a gloomy expression. He entered the room and said, "Sir, my subordinates have been waiting in the backyard for half the night. Seeing that nothing happened, they planned to sleep together, but unexpectedly they saw someone sneaking around. Peeping.”
Hearing this, Gao Kan frowned and said first, "Thank you, Coach Yang. Do you know who the peeper is?"
"Look at how he's dressed, he looks like a servant of the inn." Yang Zhi said.
"A servant of the inn? Why are you spying on our carriages and horses?"
"My subordinate saw that he carefully inspected the grain and grass on the carriage, then left the inn and released a carrier pigeon. It was supposed to report the news to others." Yang Zhi explained again.
When Gao Kan heard this, he couldn't help but stroke his chin and began to think deeply.
They had a smooth journey. This place was not far from Tokyo, only a few dozen miles.
It is at least one or two hundred miles to reach the boundary of Huangmen Mountain. Ordinarily, such a long distance should not have the details of Huangmen Mountain.
However, apart from Huangmen Mountain, I haven't heard of any other bandits along the way. Could it be that the waiter reported that they were not bandits?
After thinking about it, I couldn't figure it out, so I simply asked: "Where is the person?"
"After releasing the flying pigeons, I sneaked back to the inn to rest." Yang Zhi explained.
"Okay, go ahead and call Coach Lin and Grand Master, and then order three or five people to disperse, and go to a place three to five miles away from the inn to watch. If you find anyone approaching, report it in advance." Gao Kan nodded. .
"Subordinate, go now!"
Yang Zhi is cautious and rigorous in his work.
Although he is a bit bad and not liked by others, he is definitely a reliable person.
If he hadn't been vigilant this time, he would have neither rested nor followed Lin Chong after a day of running around. Lu Zhishen and others drank and ate meat together with Mi Yaxing and others, but stayed in the backyard until late at night, fearing that it would be difficult to discover the matter.
The first time he went out, Gao Kan didn't want to go out and was robbed before he was halfway through.
Then he quickly got dressed and came out of the house. He happened to bump into Lin Chong and Lu Zhishen who had come out after Yang Zhi's signal.
As soon as he saw Gaokan, Lin Chong said: "My eldest son, Brother Yang said someone had tipped off the news?"
Gao Kan nodded and said, "Just as this happened, a certain person was about to go out. Ask Coach Yang to take that person out and ask him why."
"Okay, I would like to go with you, Master." Lin Chong nodded.
Although Lu Zhishen was speechless, he followed him.
The three of them came down from the guest room on the second floor. Yang Zhi had already selected the people and ordered them to leave the inn.
He turned around and saw them coming down, so he stepped forward and said, "Sir, everything has been arranged."
"Okay, go take that person out." Gao Kan nodded.
Without hesitation, Yang Zhi personally led someone to get the waiter. After a while, he took the waiter out of the back room and threw him to the ground.
Xiao Erxu didn't want to miss out so quickly, and there was a look of confusion on his face.
Gao Kan was not polite, stared at him and asked coldly: "Tell me, you secretly spied on my carriage and horses in the middle of the night, and sent pigeons to report messages to others. What do you want?"
"Officials, there is no such thing as a villain. The villain is being wronged!" The waiter heard the words and kept shouting that he was wronged.
Seeing this, they didn't say much. Such people would easily refuse to confess.
To please everyone present, everyone has their own tricks, and they are not afraid of him insisting on keeping silent.
He just waved his hand and asked others to come and make him suffer first, and wait until they were honest before asking questions slowly. One of Yang Zhi's men stepped forward and without saying much, he took out a small cloth bag from his sleeve. Come.
When the cloth bag was spread out on the table, it turned out to be a set of good blades.
