When Li Hao and Yuan Lang rushed into Wang Ping's house, Wang Ping obviously didn't react.
After being stunned for a moment, Wang Ping didn't realize that he had been discovered, so he just thought that something urgent had happened.
Then he stood up and said, "What's going on? You guys are in such a hurry to come over, why no one informed you?" As he said this, he secretly hid the letter in his sleeve to avoid being discovered by Li Hao and the others.
But Li Hao came here to catch what was going on, so naturally he would not miss this point. Now that he was sure that the thing was on Wang Ping, Li Hao asked the village elders and tribe leaders from outside to come in.
At this time, Wang Ping felt that something was going wrong, and immediately said loudly: "Master, what are you doing? Although I am not a member of the Yuan family, I have been born and died for the Yuan family for many years, and I have worked hard without any merit.
You treated me like this today. When the head of the family comes back, I will definitely go back and ask for justice. "
Li Hao smiled and said, "Isn't that just right? I also think this matter should be decided by my father, but before that, take out what you just hid in your sleeves."
Wang Ping's expression changed, because he knew that since Li Hao could clearly point to something, he must have been staring at him for a long time.
Wang Ping would naturally not be willing to surrender if he had to surrender, so looking at Li Hao standing in front of everyone, he decided to give it a try.
As long as you catch Li Hao, you can use his life as a threat to escape from the house, and then you will naturally have a way out.
So Wang Ping said hypocritically: "What are you talking about? There is something in my sleeve. If you don't believe me, you can come and search for it yourself." While talking, he took two steps towards Li Hao.
Yuan Lang saw Wang Ping approaching and was about to speak out to stop him, when he saw Wang Ping suddenly exerting force and pounced on Li Hao.
Because no one realized that Wang Ping would do such a move, everyone including Yuan Lang reacted a little slowly.
By the time he reacted, it was too late to rescue him. In the eyes of everyone, Li Hao was about to fall into Wang Ping's hands. Even Wang Ping was glad that God had treated him well.
Li Hao turned sideways and dodged, and then when he jumped up and his footing was unstable and unable to move, he raised his foot and put it on his waist, kicking him straight away.
It's really funny. You think you can do Qinggong or something? You look down on human power.
After receiving this kick, Wang Ping was so painful that he lay on the ground unable to get up. Then he was suppressed by everyone who reacted and could no longer move.
After Yuan Lang took out the slip from his sleeve and circulated it to everyone, everyone looked at each other for a while.
To be honest, when Li Hao explained the situation to them, they really didn't believe it.
As Wang Ping said just now, he has worked for the Yuan family for so many years. The Yuan family has never treated him badly and helped him buy land and real estate. Why should he betray his master?
Even though some people scolded Wang Ping, asking him why he rebelled.
For this reason, Li Hao didn't want to know much. It was just for money or power. Instead, he was more interested in the person behind the scenes, Li Hao.
However, looking at Wang Ping's appearance, he doesn't seem like someone who would explain things directly. I'm afraid he would have to use some means to do so.
Now Li Hao had to capture Zhang Gui and sort out the whole story, so he had no time to worry about it.
So he asked Yuan Lang to take Wang Ping into custody and let his men personally guard him. Don't let anyone else get close to avoid any accidents.
Then the leaders of various tribes were summoned to publicize Wang Ping's crimes, but the matter quickly calmed down.
Li Hao did not notify the people directly below. After all, no one could guarantee that the people below had not been infiltrated, so it was better to be conservative.
After settling the matter here, Li Hao took Yuan Lang and his party to Zhang Gui's place.
The process is still the same, and because Zhang Gui does not have the habit of burning correspondence, this cannot be denied.
After finishing the whole process, Li Hao will start planning how to deal with the group of thieves.
In fact, the best way is to use the trick. Since the thieves want to lure Li Hao and others to a dangerous place to solve the problem, Li Hao can also lure the thieves out and solve the problem in a place he is familiar with.
However, the success rate of directly using the bandit method is too low. After all, Li Hao has always been in the open, and there must be someone watching outside.
As for going back to recruit troops again, I am also worried that if there is an informant among thieves, the situation here will be exposed, so I can only use the existing information gap to do things.
And this requires Wang Ping and Zhang Gui to be willing to cooperate, and we must guard against their underhanded tricks.
After all, who knows if there is only one way to connect with those thieves. If there are any mistakes, don't be fooled.
So Li Hao called Yuan Lang and asked him to send someone back quickly to see if Wang Ping and Zhang Gui's family records were still in the house.
If they were still there, Li Hao believed that these two people would be obedient. Otherwise, if these two people had no scruples, then their credibility would be too low.
Fortunately, the two of them were probably overconfident and thought there would be no problems this time, so no one in the family made arrangements to leave.
In this case, the matter would be much easier to handle. Li Hao swore in the name of his family that as long as these two people helped Li Hao get rid of this group of thieves, their family would not be implicated in the crime this time.
Of course, the Yuan family will definitely take back their property shop, but Li Hao also promised to resettle them elsewhere.
Naturally, we can't live the good life we had before, but we can still have enough food and clothing.
The credit of the Yuan family was indeed useful. After hearing Li Hao's oath, the two people agreed to cooperate with Li Hao.
In the end, the decisive battle was placed in Tianshi Mountain. There was a section of official road between the two mountains, which could be used.
So Li Hao asked the two men to write in their own handwriting, and then passed the message to the group of thieves according to the content they originally determined.
Of course, Li Hao was not completely reassured. He had arranged for someone to stay at Tianshi Mountain in advance to monitor the specific situation.
In addition, Li Hao also asked who wanted to deal with the Yuan family and who contacted them.
To be honest, Li Hao was really worried that there was a shadow of Emperor Wen in this, despite how kind Emperor Wen was in the TV series.
But how could an emperor who could emerge from troubled times be so kind? His scheming methods were definitely not weak.
And why did the officer army chasing the bandits drive people to Jiaodong? Is it really just a coincidence?
Although this possibility is very small, after all, Shu has not yet been recovered, and wars occur from time to time in various places.
】
At this time, Emperor Wen should not take action against the aristocratic families within. Wouldn't it be damaging to his own strength, and could easily trigger counterattacks from aristocratic families in various places.
But Li Hao didn't dare to be completely relieved after all. After all, there was already more of him in the world, and there was no guarantee that other changes would not happen.
But unfortunately, Zhang Gui and Wang Ping don't know exactly who the people behind them are.
I just know that they are very powerful and have connections with Shuzhong, and they have instigated the recent large-scale rebellions in Xuzhou, Yuzhou, and Yanzhou.
The two of them also joined in after witnessing this power, and because the other party had been promoted to a higher position after some success.
In this way, the general direction is still the Gongsun family in the middle of Shu. Li Hao has decided on it for the time being. Anyway, he will do the specific investigation later.
The matter of mobilizing the bandits was also done very smoothly. After receiving the personal letters from Zhang Gui and Wang Ping sent by Li Hao, the other party did not doubt whether they were true or false.
He immediately agreed with the two people's opinions and agreed to let them lead the Yuan family tribe to Tianshi Mountain in three days and enter the trap they had set in advance.
Now that the situation was clear, Li Hao's troops from the two forts gathered together at the agreed time and headed towards Tianshi Mountain.
Then halfway, Li Hao's original scouts on Tianshi Mountain rushed back to report that the bandits had arrived early.
And they were divided into three groups of people, two of which were placed at the front and rear of the road. After the Yuan family entered, they blocked the way out from both sides.
The third group of people ambushed the people on the mountain. This group of people was not large in number. They just used rolling stones and wood to attack the people below. After the Yuan family's formation was disrupted, they could harvest.
Now that Li Hao knows their specific deployment, the next thing will be much simpler.
Originally, the number of thieves was smaller than that of the Yuan family, but now they are divided into three parts, which can be defeated one by one. Even if some people escape, they will not be able to cause too much trouble.
Just do it. Li Hao and others led the troops and walked step by step along the official road until they approached a place where bandits were.
Li Hao ordered Yuan Lang to lead a group of troops directly to the mountains on both sides of the road to eliminate the bandits there and occupy the terrain.
He led a large force and rushed directly to the place where the bandit was hiding, catching the bandit off guard. Originally, the bandit's men were not elite soldiers.
Although they are relatively brave when fighting individually, there is no centripetal force when assembled into an army.
Such people are very capable when fighting against the wind, but as long as the situation is unstable, they will immediately fall apart.
Although Li Hao's combat power may not be higher than that of the thieves, it was a sudden attack and combined with the numerical advantage, the thieves were quickly dispersed.
Then, under Li Hao's intentional control, these people were driven onto the official road and headed towards the side road.
Li Hao wanted to use these remaining soldiers to see if he could lead the troops on the other side into the passage, so that he could use the bandits' original plan to deal with them.
Of course, this premise is that Yuan Lang lived up to Li Hao's expectations and successfully eliminated the bandits on both sides of the road.
When Li Hao led his people to the vicinity of the road, he saw three plumes of black smoke rising from the mountain, and he knew that Yuan Lang had succeeded.
So he boldly drove the thief into the lane, then slowed down to see if the thief would be fooled and come to support.
After waiting for a while, there was no movement in front of him. Li Hao thought that the bandits had run away when the situation was bad, and he was about to lead people into the lane to pursue them.
Suddenly I saw movement in front of me, and I immediately became happy. Now I could take care of most of them.
It turned out that the bandits on the opposite side did not notice that the people on the mountain had changed, and they wanted to take this opportunity to lure Li Hao and others into a trap.
So when the thieves and others reached the middle, they started to challenge Li Hao and others, hoping to provoke Li Hao and his men to pursue them into the lane.
In the end, all the rocks and trees on the Chengxiang Mountain hit their heads. This completely destroyed their cautious morale, and they couldn't help but turn around and run away.
This time Li Hao could lead his men to pursue them all the way, but the road was not blocked after all, so some of the thieves still managed to escape.
But this number no longer posed any threat, so Li Hao ignored it and turned around to receive the loot.
After all, these thieves had captured the county town along the way, and they must have robbed a lot of good things. It just so happened that Li Hao also found out from Wang Ping and Zhang Gui where their lair was, so he went to take the things back.
You must know that these are considered trophies, part of which can be used as rewards for the tribe, and part of which must be handed over to the clan as compensation for the dead and wounded, but the other large part can be put into Li Hao's private treasury.
Because now Wang Ping and Zhang Gui have been captured, Li Hao, as the current leader, naturally has ownership of the spoils.
Although Li Hao is not poor, there are many things that Li Hao wants to do in the future, so it is good to have more money in his hands.
Because the main purpose of the thieves was to get rid of Li Hao, they did not leave many manpower in the house where the loot was collected. Li Hao captured them in just one charge.
However, after actually entering the house, the situation inside still made Li Hao feel a little heavy.
In addition to the gold and silver treasures that Li Hao thought of, there are also hundreds of women who were kidnapped by thieves and imprisoned in several rooms in disheveled clothes.
When these women saw the arrival of Li Hao and others, their eyes were numb and dull, like zombies walking around.
Seeing this situation, Li Hao could only comfort himself. After all, this was in the Han Dynasty, and the people were open. After these women were released into their homes, they would eventually have a way out.
After the Song Dynasty, even if these women who had been insulted were rescued, it would be difficult for most of them to survive.
Separate some people to count the home addresses of these women, and then see how to arrange for people to send them back.
In addition, Yuan Lang led people to liquidate the gold and silver treasures and prepare to transport them back to the house.
While everyone was busy in an orderly manner, someone who was observing the situation suddenly came to report that there were officers and soldiers approaching.
So Li Hao quickly asked people to assemble his troops. After all, Li Hao could not guarantee whether the outsiders were friends or foes.
But it was obvious that the person opposite was not a bad person. After learning that the person occupying the house was the Yuan family tribe and confirming his identity.
Two people from the officers and soldiers on the opposite side came out on their own initiative and informed Li Hao of their names.
When Li Hao heard that the names were Wan Songbai and Cheng Shi, he couldn't help but wonder if this was such a coincidence!
At this time, Yuan Lang also heard the report and was worried that Li Hao did not know the situation, so he stepped forward and explained: "Wan Songbai was originally from a powerful family in the county, but he followed His Majesty earlier and gained His Majesty's trust.
We can be more polite to this person. After all, the young master will always be his minister in the future, so it’s better to show some kindness. "
Hearing that Yuan Lang only mentioned Wan Songbai and not Cheng Shi, Li Hao asked curiously: "Well, what is the origin of the other one named Cheng Shi?"
Yuan Lang replied: "I have never heard of this name. He shouldn't be an important person."
Li Hao smiled when he heard this. Cheng Shineng would not be qualified to go to court in the future, so his position was indeed not very important.
After laughing, Li Hao asked Yuan Lang to invite them to come up and meet them. He had to say hello when he met them. After all, they were important figures.
