Wujin and his companions came out of the casino, and scolded in their mouths: "Straight mother thief, five times for two hours, there is no one left, if you say that there is no fraud in this, which one is willing to believe!" These days are damned, and they are not afraid of retribution if they do so! ”

The companion next to him said: "How many times a day, how can it go on like this?" In a few days, we'll be drinking the wind. ”

Wujin whispered: "Don't worry, wait for two or three days, and we will start when we have all our hands." If we lose money now, we just let the pigs and dogs inside save for us for a few days, and then we will take it back with interest! ”

Hearing this, a few companions became happy and happily returned to the store with five catties.

After entering the store, Wujin said to the little servant: "Send two bottles of wine to my room, two large plates of meat, and light a lamp." ”

The little servant agreed, trotted all the way to the supervisor Chen Mingtong to report the account, and instructed the kitchen to prepare wine and meat. I lit a lamp and followed behind a few people to show them the way.

When he got to the room, he put the lamp on the table and left.

Wujin sat on the stool, poured a bowl of cold water and drank it, slapped the table and said: "Today is really unlucky, I actually lost five yuan in one go!" If not, why would we go back to the store and eat the meat? ”

Several companions sighed together. This inn is mainly engaged in accommodation, wine and meat are also operated, and the taste is far inferior to the restaurants outside, which is cheaper. The cooked meat in this store is made of donkeys and horses that have been killed by the merchants, cooked in a large pot, and the taste is not flattering.

Just as a few people sighed, there was a knock on the door. Wujin said to a companion: "The wine and meat are here, hurry up and bring it in!" ”

The companion got up, opened the door, and before he could see what was going on, he was struck to the ground with a blow from his head.

Before Wujin and the others came to their senses, five or six strong men were crowded in outside the door, holding sharp blades in their hands, and surrounded them.

Seeing that these people's faces were not good, Wujin felt a pang in his heart, and said sharply: "Qingping World, what are you going to do?" Blatantly burglarized and robbed, aren't you afraid that people from the government will come to arrest you? I screamed, none of you can escape! ”

Liben sneered: "You talk a lot of nonsense, and you still know that there is an official government?" Let me ask you, did you come to Tanglong Town to loot? Recruit from the truth, otherwise you will end your life with a knife! ”

Wujin didn't know where these people came from, so he didn't dare to talk nonsense.

The two strong men rummaged through the cabinets in the room, and after a while, they searched out the five catties of hidden sharp knives and put them on the table.

Liben slapped the table: "Hiding the murder weapon, there must be a thief!" Bundle it all up and go back talking! ”

As soon as Wujin was about to scream, he was stuffed with a rag into his mouth, pushed to the ground, and tied his arms upside down.

He sneered, took his officers and soldiers, took Wujin and his companions, did not go to the main gate, and walked out of the inn from the corner gate. When the houses were built in this area, there were several buildings behind the road, which was worthy of pedestrians, and there was no car or horse, and there was usually no one.

A few people took advantage of the moonlight, along the back alley, with five catties and others, all the way back to the carriage and horse shop in the east.

When he arrived at the hall, he ordered to take the strip of cloth from his mouth and said sharply: "I have found out clearly, among you birdmen, you are a leader." Recruited from the truth, recruited so many outlaws, which store here are you going to rob? ”

Where do you dare to recognize five catties? "We are serious businessmen, how dare you tie us up?" Hurry up and let it go, otherwise the government will track it down and won't be able to spare you thieves! ”

He picked up the horsewhip from the table next to him, slapped him with no head or face, and scolded: "You dare to be hard when you die!" Recruit from the truth, grandpa will leave you a way out. Otherwise, it will be dragged outside for a while, and a few pits will be dug and buried alive! ”

Wujin didn't know the number of these people, he was beaten for a while, and the pain was unbearable, and he said to Liben: "Lao Tzu, don't fight again, I'll recruit it!" We are some down-and-out businessmen who have lost our money in business, and we want to grab a game here and make some money. Seeing that Lao Tzu is also this way, it is better for us to join forces, you take the big head, and leave us some juice. ”

He slapped the table: "You few birds still refuse to tell the truth!" Look at the dozens of you, everyone is generous, how can it be a businessman who has discounted the capital! Honestly, what exactly is the origin? If there is concealment, there is a dead end! ”

Looking at the appearance of these people, the officials are not like officials, and the soldiers are not like soldiers, all of them are full of gangsters. I wondered in my heart, could it be that these people were thieves from the north, and they had the same idea as themselves? If this is the case, they must pay attention to the people here and find that they are normal. It's a pity that I was unlucky to meet such a group of ruthless people, and I died before I got out of school, which is really wronged.

After thinking about it again, Wujin said: "Don't hide it from Lao Tzu, we are a sheep herding family in the west, because we see that this place is rich, we come to do business together." I don't want Lao Tzu to lead someone to take the lead, it's ours. Why don't you spare the lives of the little ones and rob the casino there together? ”

Hearing this, he laughed: "Sure enough! Li Yuanwai's discerning eyes can see through the details of you thieves at a glance! The little ones, tie them up first, and wait until I have discussed it with Li Yuanwai before making a decision! ”

After speaking, he asked his subordinates to gag the mouth of the five catties, threw it to the corner of the side, and led his subordinates to continue to take people.

In the second half of the night, Shen Liben took all the five catties and tied them all into a pile, and then Shi Shiran went out to find Li Qing.

Entering the inn, he told him about taking people, and said with a smile: "These birds are like pigs and dogs in my eyes, and they dare to rob the casino, I really don't know whether to live or die!" Outside the staff, the person has already taken it, and what to do next, I want the two of us to discuss. ”

Li Qing gave up his hand again and again: "Lang Jun, I can't be the master of this kind of big thing." After a while, I went into the city overnight to report to Captain Zhang in the city. ”

"Taiwei Zhang has always cared about things outside the city, and if you go to report it, I'm afraid there will be no result." Why don't you go with me to meet Lord Yelu here in this dynasty, everything is agreed, and then report to Taiwei Zhang? ”

Li Qing thought for a while, nodded and said, "It's okay." It's late at night, and it's not easy to get into the city. ”

Zhang Qi is stationed in Tanglong Town, and in principle, he doesn't care about what is going on outside the city. In such a mixed place, how can law and order be so good? Although murder and arson are not common, fights and brawls are commonplace. Zhang Qi's responsibility is to suppress it forcefully, and never allow forces outside the city to extend the contradictions to Tanglong Town, so as to ensure that the law and order in Tanglong Town are good. Outside the city, this is an underground order, and Li Qing and Zhen Liben manage this place on behalf of the Song and Khitan respectively. In addition to doing business normally, they also ensure the safety of their respective merchants. Not only that, but he also collected protection fees from Khitan merchants. Because Li Qing succeeded the strict military law of the Min Dynasty, he kept to himself, and the Song Dynasty people here did not have this layer of exploitation.

Out of the store, Li Qing whispered to Liben: "Lang Jun, you are really to me, how are you going to deal with this gang of thieves?" If there is a disturbance, dozens of lives will be lost, which is not a trivial matter. Even if they are thieves, without the government, we can't do anything to them in private. ”

Yan Liben looked around, smiled slightly, leaned into Li Qing's ear and whispered: "The staff is really a sincere person, and he still wants to judge these people according to the law." The north side of the dynasty is at war with the western thieves, so there is no need to bother. After passing the adults, I used my pack team to escort them to Dongshengzhou. He was ordered to stay here, not to participate in the war, and to take advantage of this opportunity to make some military exploits. ”

Li Qing was stunned, he didn't expect that he had this thought, no wonder he was so positive. As long as these people are escorted to Dongsheng Prefecture, Yelu Buhua joins forces with Yelu Yuanzuo and others, which can be regarded as the military exploits of Liben. Fifty or sixty people, this is not a small credit. As the Khitan army marched westward, how many prisoners of war did they capture?

After thinking for a while, Li Qing said: "Lang Jun is doing this, it is really both public and private. However, first, it is necessary to find out that these people are indeed from the party to rob the casino, and we must not wronged good people, otherwise it will be difficult to do business in the future, and I will not be able to explain to the above. Again, this matter must not be leaked, let people know that if someone is arrested from here, who would dare to come to Tanglong Town to do business? ”

"I have already taken care of this matter. After reporting to the adult, the staff will interrogate me together, and I will not be wronged. When I asked for a confession, I only said that they asked our store to go to Dongsheng Prefecture to sell goods. These people are thieves, and they have no relatives or friends who are here, who is suspicious? ”

Li Qing nodded and said, "This matter is not small, and there must be no mistakes." Otherwise, I can't explain. ”

After following the lie itself, Li Qing felt his heart pounding. He has experienced many battles, and he will not blink his eyes when he kills dozens of people, but it is on the battlefield, and this time is different. If something goes wrong and destroys the trust of doing business here, the upper authorities will not spare themselves. After thinking about it, I still have to report to Zhang Qi immediately tomorrow.
