Chapter 44 FireWire Promotion
The salt poles that were chasing the people who were chasing him ran back to the back. These young people could no longer see the panic they had just now. Instead, they were excited and full of ambition. Li Meng's face was extremely gloomy and said to the people around him in a deep voice:
"It seems that I have not practiced enough and I have played too little."
The three people who were shot by arrows, one was shot in the thigh and two were shot in the shoulder. When Li Meng went over to check, these three people were already struggling to stand up. The archery skills of the salt diners were indeed not worth mentioning. Even if they were shot, the flesh was not too deep, and there would be no sequelae at all.
But being shot by an arrow, for these young men who had never been on the battlefield, they were extremely shocked. They immediately fell down in convulsions and thought they had suffered so much damage. They waited until their companions rushed back that these three people realized that they had nothing to do.
The road was full of corpses, but the young men such as Salt Banzi did not look uncomfortable. Instead, they whispered to each other that they had killed so many people. The atmosphere was very high. Until someone noticed that Li Meng's face was gloomy, this was the solemn side.
Li Meng first pulled Ma Gang over and said loudly:
"Everyone has seen Ma Gang's brave performance today. He will be the deputy captain in the future!"
As soon as this sentence was finished, there was a commotion below. Looking at Ma Gang's eyes were filled with envy, but no one could say anything about this appointment. At the moment of life and death just now, Li Meng, Zhao Neng, and Ma Gang rushed out. Isn't these the three captains and the deputy captain?
Li Meng frowned, knowing that this was not the place to be a lecture on the way, so he shouted and ordered:
"Looking for trees, the three people who were shot in the arrow lifted up and sorted out the bodies and placed them on the roadside. The money and weapons on them were all taken out and transferred to Ma Gang, and they were not allowed to be embezzled!"
The young people's reaction was not slow at this time. They dispersed and started to be busy. Zhao Neng walked to his side and whispered:
"We have four people running away, one of the hundred households, and three of them are the hundred households in the north. Not counting as being shot, two of them were slightly injured."
Li Meng's face became even worse and he said with a sneer:
"I ran away. I'll tell you to stop coming back. We don't want their salt either. In this year, the cowards still want to live a good life and teach these people a lesson."
The waist knife and iron ruler there were piled up at Ma Gang's feet, scattered silver, copper coins, and some valuable jewelry were placed next to the weapons. Ma Gang had a way of charging in wars, but the task of counting and calculating the accounts was obviously a bit dizzy.
The work of corpse searching and sorting was completed quickly. Li Meng deliberately looked elsewhere and talked to Zhao Neng. Ma Gang hurriedly untied the small bag he was carrying, wrapped the money with the bag, and then trotted to Li Meng. Li Meng had been paying attention to Ma Gang who had sorted out the property just now. These broken silver and copper coins were also quite a lot, but Ma Gang was not moved at all, but he was just tidying up with sweat.
Before and after today's battle, Li Meng had a lot of impression of Ma Gang. Not only did he fight bravely, but he also had a public heart for money. He was really a rare innocent child. Li Meng smiled and patted Ma Gang's shoulder and said:
"When I arrive in Jiaozhou, I will give you another reward for merit and arrange for the people below to leave with the weapons they picked up!"
Hearing the words "the person below" and "reward on merits", Ma Gang's face turned red, and his chest was quite straight. He gave a big gift to Li Meng, turned around and shouted:
"Each person carries two weapons and line up on the road!!"
The team of salt poles, which had been delayed for half an hour, was back on the road, with blood stains on the road, and nearly eighty bodies were lying on the side of the road, no one paid attention to it...
The sun is west, and according to the rules, the soldiers guarding the gate should be ready to close the city gate. These days, the soldiers are in chaos, and they are afraid that the city gate will be closed late and the bad guys will touch it in the dark. Isn’t it like this that the prefectures and counties in Dengzhou Prefecture beaten down by Kong Youde. In the past, if you enter the gate half an hour later, the soldiers at these city gates would drive people directly.
But today, several soldiers from the west gate of Jiaozhou City stood aside with a smile on their faces. They dare not say a word of urging. There were dozens of people standing at the gate of the city, all of whom were well-known characters in the city. The magistrate and the chief clerk were all here, and there were shopkeepers of several large shops. The yamen runners and servants around them were all looking towards the official road.
There was a big incident in Jiaozhou City today. When someone woke up in the morning, he went to the magistrate's yamen to beat drums and complained. However, the yamen runners who reported the case knew each other. The little leader of the Salt Ding who had always been active near the west of the city was named Luo Xi. He was still a little arrogant. During this period, he heard that all the new inspectors took office had been dismissed, so he became weak.
The magistrate was a new official. When he heard someone beating a drum outside, he immediately sent a yamen runner to come in and asked about the case. Who knew that when Luo Xi came in, he was shocked everyone.
The case reported by Rossi was shocking. The dismissed salt dicks were cut off from their financial situation. They were indignant. After asking for the new inspector Li Meng to fail, several major leaders decided to rob and kill Li Meng on the way to take office. Although they knew that Li Meng had a salt pole under him, the salt dicks believed that they were all cruel and ruthless people, and they could not deal with the poor military households for several days.
When the Jiaozhou magistrate almost fell off his chair when he heard this, he was a ninth rank in the imperial court. He was also a destined official who could see from many people from all over the country. It was said that the former officer was said to have died at home when inspector Mou died at home but could not solve the case, so he lost his post.
I worked hard for more than ten years before I passed the second grade. I was sent to the magistrate and my wife and daughter were brought to me. This good day has just begun. If a strong man robs and kills the police, I will be bullied and will be forced to lose my official position. But if I am anxious, there is no way to do so.
The yamen runners and constables in the magistrate's yamen, let alone fighting with the salt dick, sometimes even the shop's servants were not scared and hurriedly sent someone to a nearby official sentry to the government army stationed nearby, asking the government army to rescue people, but the Qiang General of the other party ignored it and said that he was guarding against the thieves and did not come to appease the place.
