Could it be that there is news about Wang Jin?

Chao Gai was overjoyed. This leader Wang was known as Bai Chi Gantou and had great martial arts skills. He was an extraordinary figure. Now there is hope if there is news!

He hurriedly stepped forward and put his hands together: "Oh, it turns out that he is the disciple of Instructor Wang. Brother, please get up quickly, but is there any news about Master Wang Jin?"

Ouyang Shoutong could feel Chao Gai's sincerity from the strength in his arms. He nodded as if he was pounding garlic, and felt in his heart that it was true that despite his great reputation, there was no false scholar. No wonder he was so famous, and the Shaanxi hero Zhou Tong also received many praises.

"Okay, Coach Wang is alive?" Chao Gai was overjoyed and asked.

"Well, I happened to know that something happened to the master that day, so I kept asking around, and finally found out that the master is currently in prison..."

"Brother, this is not the place to talk." Chao Gai quickly interrupted with a wave of his hand, indicating not to talk nonsense, and turned to look at a burly man walking over.

This man is eight feet five six tall, with broad shoulders and a round waist. The muscles on his two arms are knotted. He has a nine-section whip tied around his waist. He has regular facial features and a popular face. He looks simple and honest but has an aura. At first glance, he is not an ordinary person!

The big man had been looking at Chao Gai and saw that he was handsome and mighty. Then he turned his head to look at Chao Gai. He took a few steps forward and bowed his head: "Xiao Xiao... I am called the Jinlin Python... Ma Yuan, hello." Brother Tianwang."

Mama Yuan?

Chao Gai frowned slightly, this name is a bit strange,

Ouyang Shoutong, who had obviously encountered this kind of thing before, quickly explained: "Brother, this guy is not very fluent in speech. His surname is Ma Dan and his name is Yuan. He is good at using the nine-section whip and has great skills in water. He is known as the Jinlin Python. He is a loyal and honest person, and I was lucky to have his help when I tracked him all the way to Dengzhou."

"It turns out it's brother Ma Yuan of the Brocade Scale Python, get up quickly." Chao Gai secretly laughed when he heard the explanation, and quickly stepped forward and stretched out his hands to help the man up.

Ouyang Shoutong obviously had a good relationship with Ma Yuan, and she said good things to them. She followed the news from Shaanxi to Dengzhou, met Ma Yuan, a local snake, and finally determined the whereabouts of her master Wang Jin with his help.

Ma Yuan, the python with golden scales, is a famous salt lord in Dengzhou, trafficking illicit salt to the hinterland. His other brothers are Iron City Wall Zhou Xing, Fei Lian Huangfu Xiong, Black God-killer Wang Bochao, Guijianchoulai Yong'er, Lie Jueda Lang Helian entered the Ming Dynasty.

The six brothers were highly skilled in martial arts and proficient in water. They led hundreds of people to occupy the island. They were engaged in boiling sea salt and selling it. Their whereabouts were hidden and unnoticed by the government. Even Chao Gai, a salt smuggling boss, had never heard of them.

However, without hindering the praise, Chao Gai pulled the other party and affirmed: "Brothers, you risked your lives to allow the people to eat cheap refined salt. You are truly a righteous man! Who doesn't give a thumbs up wherever you go?"

Ma Yuan was an upright man. He smiled honestly when he heard the praise: "Hey, private...private salt business is not easy to do. Government ships...have frequent patrols, so they are probably aware of it. Follow Ou...Ouyang brothers and go together." Qin Fenglu... learned about brother Chao Gai's deeds and wanted to come and seek refuge with him."

"Hahaha, brothers, you brothers are proficient in water and naval warfare. You came just in time." Chao Gai looked up to the sky and laughed, very happy.

I am very interested in the Salt Owl gang that is occupying the island. What a talent! The naval army is basically composed of few generals. As long as the recruitment goes smoothly, they can arrange deputies.

Chao Gai was happy, but someone was staring at him, with eyes like knives and eyes spitting fire. The tied guy whined and screamed, and struggled violently to erase his existence.

"I almost forgot about this guy!" Ouyang Shoutong slapped his head when he saw the prisoner.

"Brother, we caught this kid on the way, as well as those good horses and the gold and silver on them. They were all captured and were also our meeting gifts. These guys are still hard-core and will only tell the truth if they have to be beaten."

After that, the strong man told about the conflict he had had with a group of ten people. Although Ma Yuan stuttered a little, he was happy to add.

Of course, the two men are not stupid. They conceal their own violence and only say that others are arrogant and arrogant. They not only curse people when they open their mouths, but they are not good birds at first glance. Anyway, killing the unidentified dozen or so people is a sign of necessity.

Chao Gai didn't care whether the two men had violent tendencies. Hearing that the group of people who were killed were hostile to him, he guessed that they were inseparable. He walked up to the captive who was tied up with nuts in his mouth, grabbed his hair and carefully

Upon closer inspection, although the opponent was beaten with bruises and bruises on his face, he could vaguely tell that it was really Zeng Sheng who had slipped through the net.

"Oh, Zeng Sheng, you are really a brat, God won't let you run away!"

Xu Guanzhong shook his head and looked at this remnant of the Zeng family, and agreed very much: "Yes, Zengtou City has done many evil things and oppressed the people for many years. It is not allowed by heaven."

Initially, they searched everywhere to no avail, and had little hope of arresting Zeng Sheng. Unexpectedly, fate is not as good as fate, and Ouyang Shoutong happened to meet him and arrested him. It was such a coincidence, couldn't it be said that it was God's will?

Ouyang Shoutong and Ma Yun did not fully understand the matter and were very curious. Xu Guanzhong told Zengtou City in detail how he provoked Chaojiazhuang for no reason and how he bullied the surrounding people. The two big men gnashed their teeth and cursed. Everyone shook their fists as big as sandbags.

, I can’t wait to go up and beat him.

"By the way, I remembered." Ouyang Shoutong slapped his head, feeling a little annoyed: "There was a remnant who pretended to be dead and ran away. I didn't know that I didn't chase him at the time."

"Just run away, don't blame yourself." Chao Gai waved his hand, indicating that it was okay: "You don't have to think about it, you know that you will definitely flee to the north. Anyway, you will collide with the Jin Kingdom sooner or later. I want to see how powerful the Jurchen cavalry is.

"

Zhang San, the rat crossing the street, received Chao Gai's instructions and stepped forward to remove the walnuts from the prisoner's mouth. Zeng Sheng coughed several times, struggled violently, and roared repeatedly.

"Ah, Chao Gai, if you kill my whole family, I won't let you go even if I'm a ghost. Our army of the Jin Kingdom will definitely sweep south to avenge my family. Just wait! You will definitely feel that kind of despair, ha.

Ha ha……"

Zeng Sheng knew that he would definitely die if he was caught, so he did not beg for mercy, he could only stare blankly, he could only vent, he could only stare at Chao Gai with hatred, gnashing his teeth. If eyes could kill, he would have killed Chao Gai thousands of times.

"Zeng Sheng, you didn't feel it when you bullied others. Now you feel aggrieved when you are retaliated against. You also think that others are heartless and cold-blooded. How do you have the right to blame others? The cycle of cause and effect is self-inflicted." Chao Gai said coldly.

Looking at each other as if looking at a dead person.

"It's not that Mr. Chao is cruel, it's that you have crossed the bottom line. Don't worry, I will send you to see your father and brother and make atonement in hell."

Zeng Sheng wanted to curse but his mouth was stuffed with sesame walnuts again, and he whined unwillingly. Chao Gai ignored this guy and ordered Zhang San and Li Si to keep a close watch on him. He took Ouyang Shoutong and Ma Yuan back to the temporary residence and ordered a banquet to be arranged.

Entertain and have a long conversation over wine with two good men.

The news that Zengtou City had been uprooted spread, and the people rejoiced. This damn overbearing foreign market town finally suffered its retribution. The surrounding rich households spontaneously united and brought wine and meat to reward the Chao family's soldiers.

Chao Gai never collects things for free, and always buys them at market prices. At noon, at least tens of thousands of people gathered, and the crowds were huge and crowded.

Under the organization of Baozheng and wealthy households in each village, registers were made according to household registration and personal registration, and money and grain were distributed. Many young and strong laborers volunteered to help. They assisted the army in moving the grain out of the granary and setting up carriages for loading.

The exquisite furniture was sold out by wealthy households.

The loot captured in Zengtou City, piles of gold and silver packed in boxes, antiques and treasures and other items were loaded into trucks. The war horses and oxen pulling the carts were the first to return. The infantry under the red-faced tiger Yuan Lang rode war horses or acted as coachmen to escort them.

Driving a large number of sheep, the team is mighty.

Followed by a long queue of vehicles filled with food, medicinal materials and other supplies.

Even if the surrounding people shared and transported more than one million shi of grain, there would still be two million shi left, and it was impossible to transport it back to Chaojiazhuang in one trip.

Chao Gai had important things to do, and it was impossible to waste time here. Regardless of the restaurants in Lingzhou, there were dozens of them located in the wilderness village. They organized convoys to transport food, and they were transported like ants one after another.

The team from the Lingzhou government arrived just after noon.

They really brought a lot of wine and meat to reward the Chao family army officers and men. It was impossible not to come, so the team that went to Lingzhou City to inform them was led by Han Shizhong himself.

Zengtou City was really destroyed and ceased to exist!

Lingzhou Magistrate Cao Xianggong was a little melancholy, just thinking that he had presided over the reconciliation, but in the end he still failed to save Zengtou City. He went to Chao Gai with a somewhat ugly face and taunted him: "General Manager Chao does not keep his word. It is not the behavior of a gentleman."

"A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. I killed someone else's two sons. The other party will definitely not let them go and will retaliate. Why not destroy them?" Chao Gai did not care about the other party's attitude, but smiled proudly.

.

"I, Chao Gai, only do things based on my heart. Zeng Toushi has gone too far and bullied his compatriots. I can't stand it anymore and will get rid of him. Does Mr. Cao have any objections?"

Xianggong Cao only felt that Chao Gai's smile was a bit sinister, and he shook his head subconsciously: "I don't dare, I can't restrain Mr. Chao. But Zengtou City was destroyed, with more than 20,000 casualties. It is of great importance, and I will report this matter to the court.

.”

"I can do it too. I hope you tell the truth and don't confuse right and wrong!" Chao Gai nodded in agreement and warned with a half-smile. Unintentionally, he saw something was wrong in the eyes of many Lingzhou officials.

It was as if he was watching the people transport money and food and leave.

Why didn't he understand what these people had in mind? He wanted to remind them but stopped. Some things are a waste of time to talk about. It would be better to do them to shock them.

A thousand cups of wine with a close friend is too little, and half a sentence without speculation is more than enough.

After Lingzhou Cao Zhizhou said a few polite words, he led the officials and left.

After Chao Gai watched these corrupt officials leave, he found Sun An, the dragon slayer, and after a chat with him, he gave him the task of leading Kuo Duan.

Until dusk, the number of people decreased rapidly.

Shan Shiqi led his troops to escort thousands of cattle and horse carts south. The drivers were civilians who were willing to follow them south and take a ride. In addition, the thousands of captives were picked up by a team led by Lin Chong.

After a busy day and night of 20,000 to 30,000 people, Zengtou City was evacuated. The next day, Chao Gai sent people to various villages to check and confirm that everything was in place.

Su Ding set off as the third wave of troops escorting grain and grass.
