Chapter 122: Incompetence, No courage, No quality

Walking on the street, no one can see any difference. Moreover, when I go out late at night, I am seen by soldiers patrolling the city, and I have to be directly punished and asked. Even if I encounter them, I will avoid them. Who would dare to see whether these soldiers’ dresses are true or false?

These posing soldiers seemed to be very familiar with the roads in Jiaozhou City. When they walked into the courtyard of the inspection office, they extinguished the torches one by one, threw a few stones into the wall, and silently inside. Suddenly, a few people put their shoulders on their backs and flipped towards the other side of the wall.

At first glance, these more than 30 people have been professionally trained. Although they are holding weapons in their hands, they do not make too loud noises when they land, and they are very slight.

The people who landed first were nervous and alert, but the house inspected by the Salt Administration seemed to be in sleep, and there was no light to see, and it was completely dark, which made these people feel much more at ease. Everyone's movements were very fast and they all jumped into the yard quickly.

"Have you all come in?"

Suddenly there was a question. Before these people could react, someone shouted outside the yard:

"Everything is in."

It was so sudden that the first reaction of these more than 30 people who attacked the night was that who didn't know the rules and shouted, "What should I do if I find out?" Then I woke up and was ambushed.

In ancient times, when there was no outdoor light source and could only rely on natural light, the night was much darker than modern people imagined. It was not an exaggeration to see the five fingers facing each other. After shouting inside and outside, I looked at someone in the darkness not far away and seemed to have pulled off a piece of cloth, and immediately exposed a lantern, emitting faint light.

Then the man holding the lantern stuffed the fire into the lantern, lit it and threw it to the side. With a "huh", a big fire suddenly started to burn. It seemed that the firewood was poured on, otherwise it would not have burned so quickly. The fire burned wildly, and the whole yard seemed to be in the daytime.

The salt dicks holding spears, swords and axes stood solemnly opposite them. More than 30 night attackers were suddenly panicked, but they were calm and fast. Their hands were also full of swords, axes, spears, and the other party looked like more than fifty people. If they fought once, they might not win or lose.

The leader of the Night Attacker was about to give an order, and there were two loud bangs on the other side, which immediately shocked these people on the spot. The other party had muskets. More than a dozen salt dicks with muskets walked to the front row. Looking at this posture, the night Attacker's heart was cold. Even in the night, the thick caliber of the other party's musket could be seen, and a wooden fork was fixed. For those who had seen the market, it would be obvious that the power was definitely not small.

The musket was flat and the spear was flat. Although there were more than fifty people in the yard, they were very strict and had the temperament of a large army. With this combination, the night attackers were only slaughtered.

"Do you brave and unaware of life and death, do you still have the imperial court's laws in your eyes? Do you want to rebel?"

Generally, they can't beat it, and they start to threaten with words, but the voices of these night attackers are very low, and they are afraid that others will hear them. Li Meng basically doesn't have to stand up for such things. Chen Liuzi stood opposite and said coldly:

"Is there any king's law? Let's talk about it after we put the swords and guns. I will count five times and we will kill you if we don't lose the swords and guns!"

The night attackers exchanged glances with each other. When Chen Liu counted to two, the musketeers were already preparing to ignite the induced medicine. The man led by the night attackers threw his knife to the ground dejectedly and said listlessly:

"In this scene, we brothers don't even have the chance to fight to the death. If you lose it, there might be a turnaround."

After saying this, these people threw the weapons all over the floor. Chen Liuzi spitted. He was like the salt dick who had been waiting all night and thought there would be a fight tonight. Who would have thought that the other party was talking nonsense, but he was so cowardly, saying that he would throw the weapons directly.

Chen Liu was trying to make a contribution and returned to the Yanding team to lead the troops. He thought it was an opportunity tonight, but who thought he didn't fight much, and he really felt lost.

The salt dicks used the technique of bundling salt buns at this time. They forced themselves to use a spear and came over and tied up one by one. There were ready-made prisons in the inspection house, which could be used with a little transformation.

Since the other party did not resist, Yan Ding had no means to do it. He just tied it up and pushed it towards the prison. He was walking past the main gate, and the door was pushed open. It was brightly lit. Wang Hai was walking in, and his face was full of disappointment. Seeing Chen Liuzi coming towards him, he couldn't help but complain:

"Sixth brother, seeing these people as tall and big, the guys are not bad, why are they so unbearable? They surrounded the inn and immediately took off their weapons. When they arrived on the street, they also told me the principles of the imperial court's law. I slapped them a few times before coming over honestly. It's boring, boring."

The two complained to each other that the Salt Ding soldiers were not in a high mood. After all, it was so cold that they had to get up. They wanted to fight and earn some military achievements. Who would have thought it was easier than chasing sheep outside the city, and they were even more angry. They saw who was walking slowly and kicked them.

But these night attackers were very interesting. After being beaten, they were honest, but they were just there to reason, and their voices were very low, and they were even more afraid of waking up the people around them than the salt squads.

This lazy look made people unable to even get angry. They pushed it directly into the prison, locked the door, and left the guards to sleep.

When I woke up the next morning, no one in Jiaozhou City except the inn knew that more than 60 people were arrested in the Salt Administration Inspection Office last night.

Of course, it doesn’t matter if you know it. Li Meng is now a fifth-rank official. In Jiaozhou area, he is the highest-ranking official. As for those people who ask why they are arrested, it is very simple. He just carried a bag of salt and said that this is evidence of selling private salt. That’s all.

Li Meng got up early and rode a horse outside Jiaozhou City. The banner "Safe House" on the back wall of the prefecture was still posted. Li Meng rode his horse past there. Looking at the banner, he felt very comfortable.

Although the wall of the magistrate's house is tall, Li Meng probably could have turned over even while stepping on the horse's back. But after thinking about it, he still gave up this idea. I heard that in the homes of such officials, there are spies or Jinyiwei arranged by the court. If he climbs over the wall and there is a spy with an iron whip waiting, he has this feeling for no reason. Of course, it is indeed a bit ugly to go over the wall of the magistrate's house in Jiaozhou. No one dares to laugh at Li Meng, but it is known that the reputation of the daughter of the state is a big problem.

After returning from Henan, except for the weather getting colder and the tomboy who was jumping up and down around him, life was not much different from before leaving, which was quite boring.

However, Li Meng felt something interesting today, because there were a group of assassins of unknown origin in the prison in the inspection office. I wonder who was the enemy of him?

The atmosphere in Jiaozhou City is a little strange today. The inspection yamen used a large cart to pull things outside the city, and they were all written contracts, as if they were moving. Some familiar people dared to ask, and the answer was unified, saying that since the Jiaozhou army outside the city was built, it would be convenient to move outside the city.

However, Yan Ding, who came back from another place, mobilized 300 people to the city's house, and all the gates of Jiaozhou City were taken over by soldiers from Jiaozhou Camp.

Speaking of which, the defense and opening and closing of Jiaozhou City were originally under his own responsibility. Before Li Meng's old salt dicks were all rotated back, he did not have enough people in his hands, but this time he took over. The original people were sent to Jiaozhou Camp to do service and other work, and those who were unwilling to continue to join the army were paying the loop fee.

More than 60 people suddenly came over in Henan to break into Li Meng's house, and they were all warriors with swords. This was not a trivial matter. Especially since Li Meng had just led people to Henan, and had negotiated a deal with Qingyan with Gao Yigong, a mysterious high school. The purpose of these warriors really makes people pay attention to it.

The defense change and entry in various places have been almost completed. Several veterans invited by Lingshan Guard Station led Jiaozhou camp leaders of all levels to patrol the city walls and places, explaining the key points and methods to pay attention to in defending the city.

Everyone doesn't think this is strange. Li Meng's army and management training of salt dicks have always been extremely strict. This is spread throughout Jiaozhou. Although the replacement of the guards today is a bit sudden, it is also a matter of Jiaozhou Camp, and there is no need to make a fuss.

After wandering around the city wall, Li Meng rode back to his house on a horse and saw the salt diners rushing back with five big trucks. When the team led him saw Li Meng, he hurriedly bowed and bowed, but the others were still busy with their own. If there was military affairs, except for the team's head, the others would be as usual. This was also one of the military laws of the Jiaozhou Camp. Li Meng thought to himself that the people in the salt diner system had moved outside the city, why were there still big trucks pulled back here?

He asked now:

"What's going on with this big car?"

The team replied respectfully:

"Mr. Li, these are all things that those people put in the inn last night. Brother Chen and the others brought them all with them."
