Li Ye looked up and stared at Zouxian Cheng coldly: "An hour ago, the two subsidy lists were still there. I put them into the bag with my own hands. Where are they now?"

Zou Xiancheng said calmly: "I'm sorry, someone just borrowed it. If I had known that the general wanted it again, I wouldn't have borrowed it!"

"Who borrowed it?"

"The person sent by Zhang Xiangguo, who seems to be his nephew, took Zhang Xiangguo's token and said he wanted to borrow it for a copy and return it to me early tomorrow morning."

Li Ye stretched out his hand and pinched the back of Zou Xiancheng's neck. Zou Xiancheng screamed in pain like a slaughtered pig.

Li Ye slowly let go of him. Zou Xiancheng took a few steps back in fear. Li Ye said coldly: "I was named the King of Gaochang County by the emperor. Do you know why? Let me tell you, it depends on killing people. You'd better give it to me." I tell the truth, if I find out that you dare to deceive me, I will make your son lose a foot. If you don’t believe me, you can ask the Yang family and Zhang family how I killed people in Yuanyang County!"

Zou Xiancheng was so frightened that he trembled all over, "I dare not deceive the general. It was indeed borrowed by Zhang Huan. It was said that it was borrowed, but in fact it was taken away."

"What about the inventory?"

"The inventory was taken away by the censor who arrested County Magistrate Li."

"Where does Zhang Jun's nephew live?"

"It seems. It seems to be at Gaudin's Inn, they said so themselves!"

"Where is the Gaudin Inn?"

"Next to the west city gate."

Li Ye picked up a water and fire stick and strode out. Zou County Prime Minister watched him walk away with trepidation, and his legs went weak for a while.

Li Ye got on his horse and ran towards the west city with his men.

After a while, I ran to the west city and saw a big signboard from a distance with the four characters "Gaoding Inn" written on it.

"You guys wait at the door, I'll take care of you!"

He walked quickly to the inn with water and fire sticks. Those two lists were very important. They had the fingerprints of family members and the seal of the county magistrate. Although Li Ye didn't think of this at the time, now he wanted to make up for it and had to take it back. .

This thing is not just for the virtuous, but to see who is more ruthless and whose fist is harder.

The shopkeeper was startled when he saw his menacing approach. He quickly came over to greet him and said with a smile: "Who are you looking for, sir?"

"Where do Mr. Zhang and his party from the capital live?"

"They reserved the largest courtyard, Chunshan Courtyard!"

"Where? Take me there."

"Sir, there are sixteen of them."

When Li Ye saw the shopkeeper winking at the waiter, he felt annoyed and slapped him on the face, "If you keep nagging me, I'll kill you. Get out of here!"

The shopkeeper had no choice but to cautiously lead Li Ye to the backyard. Soon, he walked to a gate with three words on the sign, 'Chunshan Courtyard'. This was actually a set of courtyards, consisting of two courtyards, inside and outside. It can accommodate twenty people and is very suitable for guests with many followers.

The door was ajar, so Li Ye kicked it open and rushed in. The shopkeeper was so frightened that he crawled away.

A group of warriors were practicing martial arts in the yard. Suddenly someone kicked in the door and broke in, shouting, "Hand over all the silver and money!"

The samurai were furious and rushed forward with their swords raised. "Where did the thieves come from? They dared to attack us. Are you tired of living?"

Without saying a word, Li Ye opened the water and fire stick and started beating him from left to right. This kind of water and fire stick is about eight feet long, with one end painted in fire color and the other end in black, so it is called water and fire stick. Even though it is just a wooden stick, it is made of Made of jujube wood, it has high density and hardness, and is no worse than a steel pipe when hit on a human body.

More than a dozen warriors were no match for him. He swept them all the way. They were beaten to the ground in a moment. They hugged their arms and cried, and everyone's arms were broken. This was already a sign of mercy from Li Ye. If he was in the Western Regions , everyone’s brain will explode.

Li Ye immediately rushed into the inner courtyard,

In the room, Zhang Huanzheng and his staff Jiang Quan discussed the next step. The list taken from the county government was placed on the small table in front of them.

"The master needs to do two things next. First, Li Yu must be convicted. Even if it is not the arrester who committed the murder, the evidence must be found to prove that Li Yu ordered the suppression and caused the chaos. The people trampled on each other while running for their lives. , more than sixty people died. In this way, Li Yu's crime was also the same.

The second is to find the families of the dead and injured as soon as possible, give them benefits, and let them prove that it was Li Yu who ordered the suppression that caused the huge chaos. Their family members were trampled to death, and then find a way to replace the bodies and let them There were no wounds from swords or arrows on the body. "

"There are too many people! How busy can we be?"

"You don't have to do it all, just do a dozen people. Then let Zou County Cheng select these dozen people as the subjects of the investigation. Yushitai and Dali Temple will cooperate."

Zhang Huan nodded, "I'll talk to Zou Xiancheng and ask him to help me arrange a few suitable candidates to take us to the countryside."

At this moment, a warrior suddenly shouted in the yard: "Master, leave quickly, there are thieves coming in to steal money!"

Then there were several screams and the warrior fell.

Zhang Huan was stunned. He actually stole money in broad daylight. Is the public security in Heyang so bad?

Suddenly ‘Boom! ’ There was a loud noise, the window was smashed, and a tall man appeared in the yard.

"It's Li Ye!"

Zhang Huan suddenly recognized Li Ye and was shocked. He turned around and ran to the back room to draw his sword.

However, the staff member Jiang Quan realized that the other party must have come to snatch the list. He reached out to grab the list on the table and was about to tear it up. There was a flash of cold light, and a flying knife shot through the back of Jiang Quan's hand, killing his hand. Nailed on the table, Jiang Quan screamed in pain.

Li Ye jumped into the room and hit Jiang Quan on the head with a stick. He fainted immediately.

Li Ye had already seen the list on the table. He picked it up. It was the two lists of money and food subsidies he saw at the county government office. He folded the list and put it in his arms. He glanced at the back room again. The door was closed. , a figure can be seen below, standing behind the door.

Li Ye snorted, put away the flying knife on the back of Jiang Quan's hand, turned around and walked away

After a long time, the door of the back room opened, and Zhang Huan walked out tremblingly, holding a sword. He saw his staff Jiang Quan fell to the ground, fainted, and his right hand was covered with blood.

He squatted down and touched Jiang Quan's nose. He still had breath. Then he walked outside and saw the yard inside and outside filled with his men. Everyone was lying on the ground with their arms covered and moaning in pain. Everyone's arms were They were all interrupted, either with their left hand or right hand, and Li Ye had already disappeared.

Zhang Huan sat weakly on the threshold, almost crying without tears. Less than two hours after arriving in Heyang County, his entire army was wiped out.

"Master, don't be anxious, things are not desperate yet!"

When Zhang Huan turned around, he saw his staff member Jiang Quan standing at the door. His hands were covered in blood and his eyes were filled with resentment.

"My men are all disabled, what chance do I have?"

"Young master, there is also the Yang family. Although we all go our separate ways, the two families have the same purpose. We can form an alliance with the Yang family."

Zhang Huan thought for a while and said: "Without capital, the Yang family may not want to form an alliance with me!"

"Sir, warriors are not capital. The Yang family already has enough warriors. Networking is capital. Zou Xiancheng and Wang Xianwei are both our people, and the representatives of Dali Temple are also our people. The Yang family will not reject us."

Jiang Quan had never been so humiliated and hurt. At this time, he hated Li Ye so much that he would not be a human unless Li Yu and his son were killed this time.

Zhang Huan nodded, "Okay! Let's go find the Yang family."

Yang Jian lived in the Anyuan Inn, and he brought more men with him. With fifty people, he took over the entire inn.

Yang Jian's mission in coming to Heyang County this time is also very clear. Like Zhang Huan, he is to assist Zheng Ang, the censor in the investigation team, to guide the investigation results in a direction that is not conducive to Li Yu. He must convict Li Yu of a serious crime and punish him. Li Xiu also got involved.

Just like Yu Wenjing two years ago, his grandson Yu Wen Siwu committed a serious crime, and Yu Wen Jing was also dragged into the water. In the end, he had to commit suicide, and the entire Yu Wen family was destroyed.

This is the struggle of the imperial court. Li Yu is the eldest grandson of Li Linfu. He has committed a serious crime. His father and grandfather cannot escape, and the entire Li family will be dragged into the water by him.

Yang Jiang had just arrived in Heyang County. He had not yet started to take action. At this moment, his subordinates came to report and Zhang Huan asked to see him.
