Chapter 216: White Horse Turmoil
Li Yanqing glanced at him and said lightly: "Is there something wrong with Brother Tai?" ā
Wang Mi smiled, "I'm a little reckless, in fact, I don't have any malicious intentions, is my friend's horse willing to transfer?" ā
Li Yanqing was really a little unhappy in his heart, he just watched it, but he came to the door to ask, he held back the unhappiness in his heart and said: "I'm sorry, my horse is not for sale!" ā
"I'll pay three hundred yuan, this price is not low, I persuade my brother to sell it!"
Li Yanqing endured it again and again, and finally couldn't help it, he put the big bowl on the table, "What if I don't sell it?" ā
Li Yanqing's movement was a little bigger, and everyone looked over here, and at this time, an older man came to the other party, and said to Li Yanqing slowly: "We have a good intention, your horse can't be in Yunzhou for long, instead of being snatched away, it is better to sell it to us, and at least make a few hundred yuan."

"Li Er! Wang San! ā
There was a sudden roar from the side, and I saw an official official appear at the door of the tea shed, glaring at the two big men and saying, "You are going to harass passers-by from other places again, watch me skin you!" ā
When the two men saw the tolerance, they were like a mouse seeing a cat, so frightened that they turned around and ran, and quickly ran away without finishing their food.
He stepped forward and said to Li Yanqing with a smile: "I am Yang Hu, the head of Zhongdu County, just now these scoundrels always extort foreign merchants, today they are lucky, they didn't succeed, otherwise I will arrest them directly!" ā
At this time, Yang Dutou beckoned to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper Zhao, I haven't seen you for a long time." ā
The shopkeeper smiled reluctantly, with a hint of fear in his eyes, at this time, Yang Dutou smiled at Li Yanqing and said: "It is indeed too dangerous to ride a horse alone, it is still ten miles away from the county seat, let's go together!" I can protect you for a while. ā
Li Yanqing glanced out, and saw that there were two catchers standing on the official road, Li Yanqing only felt that this head was too enthusiastic, and according to common sense, when the head of a county arrived, the shopkeeper must be desperate, but this shopkeeper was as afraid as a tiger, trembling and not daring to say a word, and even dared not ask for the money of the three guests just now, which is really confusing.
Li Yanqing smiled and said: "Thank you for your kindness, I won't go to the county seat, I'm going to go south to Yanzhou, please go to the head!" ā
"Huh! My kindness was actually regarded as a donkey's liver and lungs, since the toast does not eat and drink, then good, I suspect that you are an accomplice of the Liangshan bandits, come with me to the county seat. ā
Seeing that Li Yanqing refused to go with him, the head of the capital began to turn his face, and his face became hideous, at this time, the diners in the tea shed began to run away, and the shopkeeper and the guy didn't care about pretending, turned around and ran into the house, 'Bang! 'Close the door.
Li Yanqing sneered in his heart, and suddenly pointed behind Yang Hu, "Oops! Isn't that Song Jiang? ā
Yang Hu was taken aback, looked back, where was there any shadow of Song Jiang, he immediately knew that he was fooled, and just about to touch the knife, a sharp sword had pressed his neck, "If you move, you will die, Yang Dutou!" ā
"Let's go! I'm not going to arrest you. ā
"Let your men come out and put the bow and crossbow down."
Yang Hu knew that Li Yanqing had seen through it, so he had to shout: "You all come out!" ā
I saw three people coming out from behind the earthen house, it was the three people who ran away just now, they were holding crossbow arrows in their hands, the crossbow arrows were very short, and they knew at a glance that they were medicine crossbows, if Li Yanqing let go of this Yang Hu just now, these people would shoot horses.
Li Yanqing sneered and said: "It seems that Yang Dutou's prestige is not enough, the thieves actually didn't scare them away, let them put down their crossbow arrows, quickly!" ā
As soon as his hand tightened, a stream of blood had flowed down Yang Hu's neck, and at this time, Yang Hu found that this scholar's arm was like an iron arm, and he couldn't move at all, so he knew that he had lost his eyes, and this seemingly polite scholar turned out to be a master.
Yang Hu only felt a sharp pain in his neck, his eyes turned black, he was horrified in his heart, and shouted urgently: "Put down the bow and crossbow, put them all down!" ā
Several of his subordinates were secretly surprised to see the leader's neck bleeding, and hurriedly put their bows and crossbows on the ground.
"Stand back!" Li Yanqing shouted.
Everyone was helpless, so they had to take a few steps back, Li Yanqing kicked Yang Hu out a few steps, fell to the ground, he jumped on the horse, waved the long sword, the reins were broken, and he turned the horse and galloped north.
Five subordinates hurriedly rushed up, supported Yang Hu, saw that he was in a semi-comatose state, his neck was full of blood, his throat had been cut, and the throat bone was faintly visible, everyone was so frightened that he hurriedly bandaged him, and after a while, Yang Hu woke up, gritted his teeth and said: "Send a pigeon letter quickly.... Commander Liu, be sure.... Intercept this bastard, I'm not going to peel it.... His skin is not to be!
........
In fact, Li Yanqing also made an empirical mistake, he always felt that the vicinity of the county seat should not be Liangshanbo's sphere of influence.
He didn't know that in the entire Yunzhou, except for the state capital Xucheng County, other counties had long been included in Liangshan's sphere of influence, and the county officials and Liangshan also tacitly knew that as long as the people of Liangshanbo did not make trouble in the county, they all turned a blind eye, but even in the county seat, countless sentinel points in Liangshan were also installed, most of which were covered by operating restaurants and inns.
Not only Yunju, but also Jeju in the south, half of the territory fell into Yangsan's sphere of influence.
Li Yanqing entered Zhongdu County, and lived in the largest Ping'an inn opposite the county government with a fake identity prepared in advance, Li Yanqing inquired when he entered the city, this inn has an official background, and has nothing to do with Liangshan, Li Yanqing put down his luggage, went downstairs and asked the shopkeeper: "I want to inquire about some news, is there a tooth person to introduce me to one." ā
This is the experience accumulated by Li Yanqing when he rescued Qingqing, using money to buy news, the news is not only reliable, but he himself is more hidden, of course, he can also take the bronze medal given to him by Tong Guan and ask the government directly for news, but in that case, Yang Jian is afraid that he will notice him.
The shopkeeper smiled: "Of course there are tooth people, I don't know what kind of news the little official wants to inquire about?" ā
"Ask about the affairs of the government, and I also want to know about the situation in Liangshan."
The shopkeeper looked left and right, lowered his voice and said to Li Yanqing: "I'll make it clear to the petty officials first, it's okay to ask, but don't go out to spread it, the matter of Liangshan is taboo in Yunzhou, no one dares to mention it in public outside, and whoever dares to talk nonsense will be arrested immediately." ā
"I understand what the shopkeeper means."
"Alright! I'll find you someone, this person is a clerk of the county government, the news is absolutely reliable, don't ask his name, ten money, he will tell you everything you want to know. ā
Li Yanqing took out ten taels of silver and buckled it on the table, "I need this person now!" ā
The shopkeeper secretly stammered, ten taels of silver! Where did this petty official come from? It's so generous.
Not long after, the shopkeeper took a man in his thirties into Li Yanqing's guest room, this man looked very white and clean, he sat down and said with a smile: "The little official is from the capital!" ā
Li Yanqing shook his head, "I don't want to know the surname of Brother Tai, and I don't want to know what Brother Tai does, I just passed by Zhongdu County." ā
The implication is, 'I don't ask you, and you don't inquire about me.'" ā
The clerk smiled: "It's me who is rude, I don't know what news the petty officials want to know?" ā
"Feel free to ask?"
"Of course, it's a casual question, but if I know that ten times a lot of money is a lot of money with us."
"I want to know about a person outside the city who pretends to be the head of the capital, called Yang Hu......"
Li Yanqing told him what happened at noon, and the clerk smiled: "It is estimated that you have something that they fancied, this Yang Hu used to be the head of the county, and then fled into Liangshan, and became a small leader in Liangshan, since the petty official offended him, you have to be careful on the road, I give a piece of advice to the petty official, from Zhongdu County to the north, don't live in the inn foot shop outside the city, don't enter the tavern, nine times out of ten are opened in Liangshan, buy more dry food in the county, and walk two hundred miles north is Xucheng." ā
"I see, thank you for the advice, besides, I want to know if Mrs. Yang is in Sucheng now."
The scribe's face changed slightly, he was actually looking for Yang Jian, he knew that Li Yanqing was not small, he pondered for a moment and said: "He has been here for the past month, as for whether he wants to go out to inspect next, I don't know." ā
Li Yanqing asked more than a dozen questions, no matter how big or small, the scribes told him one by one, and the information that Li Yanqing hoped to get was basically understood.
Early the next morning, Li Yanqing took a large bag of dry food prepared for him by the shopkeeper, changed his outfit, left Zhongdu County, and continued to go north.
