Chapter 79: Robbery
In the following days, Ningfu fell into peace, but Chen County became lively. The imperial envoy sent by the court came to Chen County to appease the disaster relief work. For five consecutive days, Chen County's disaster relief work was in full swing. Li Yan no longer made trouble for Ningfu, and even stayed in Chen County for a few days. He set off for Beijing on the sixth day.
Beishan Road, on a section of the official road more than 20 miles from Chen County, there are dense forests on both sides of the official road. Soon, a group of more than ten people dressed in official missions appeared on the road, and there was a carriage behind it.
"Guard Ning, they are here."
In a dense forest on the hillside, Ningshan, Li Ran hid in the woods with thirteen Ning family guards. When he learned that Li Yan and others were going to pass by here today, they were ambushed here early. This was planned a few days ago. When Bai Xue reminded him, Ningshan was in a murderous intention. Anyway, Li Yan had been beaten up and Liangzi had formed a deal. When the other party returned to the capital, he would tell Qiu Minghai about the matter. A charge of beating a court official could not be escaped. In addition, Qiu Minghai was determined to deal with the Ning family, so this matter could not be good, so he decided to take action first, do not care about so much, and kill Li Yan first.
"Sir, walk twenty miles further, it will be within Shili County."
Below, Li Yan rode on a horse, his face pondered, his mouth moved, but he felt a huge pain, which touched the wound on his face. It was beaten by Ning Shan a few days ago. When he thought of this, the anger in his heart suddenly rose. A sharp-eyed servant next to him saw Li Yan's appearance and said-
"Sir, the people of Ning Mansion are unruly and disrespectful to the court, and they dare to publicly beat the people. This time we return to Beijing, we must report this to the king and arrest all the people of the Ning family."
"Hmph, the Ning family members will not live long." Li Yan snorted coldly, with a resentful light flashing in his eyes: "When I return to Beijing this time, I will report to the king that the Ning family members are disrespectful to the king and the court, and openly beat the imperial officials. The snake demon cultivator was not in good spirits during the rebellion, and only after the snake demon cultivator was in trouble, he took action. Such a madman will definitely arrest and execute all the Ning family, without leaving any one."
Whoosh! Puchi!...ah!
As soon as Li Yan's words fell, the closest servant who had just spoken beside him screamed and kept coming through the air with a sharp arrow, shooting the closest servant through the back, killing him instantly, and falling to the ground from the horse's back.
"There are assassins", "Protect the adults", "Protect the adults..."
The closest servant beside Li Yan reacted quickly. When he saw that the closest servant had an arrow inserted into the ground, he immediately realized the situation and surrounded Li Yan in the middle. Li Yan also hid from the horse's back...
"Swish! Swish! Swish!..."
"Ah" "In the woods..." "Puff..."
More than a dozen arrows shot out from the woods. This time the closest servants saw clearly and locked the direction, but there was no way. In the blink of an eye, five closest servants died, leaving only five people surrounding Li Yan, and the frightened horse ran away directly.
"Who are you? Do you know who I am? I am the governor of the court and the special imperial envoy. If you dare to openly assassinate the imperial officials, aren't you afraid of being beheaded?"
Li Yan Dahe hoped to use this to intimidate the other party, but it was useless. Another sharp arrow shot. The head of a guard in front of Li Yan was directly penetrated through his eyebrows by a sharp arrow and fell to the ground.
"Swish! Swish! Swish!..."
The sharp arrow shot from the woods again, and the remaining four guards were killed one after another.
"I am the imperial court official, I... puchi... uh..."
Finally, the sharp arrow shot through Li Yan's neck. From beginning to end, he did not see the person who took action, and he didn't have time to finish his last sentence.
"Li Ran, take a few people around to see if anyone is here, put a whistle and the others come with me to see."
In the woods, when he saw Li Yan and his group of more than a dozen people lying on the official road, Ning Shan gave a few instructions and walked out of the woods with five guards. Li Ran took the remaining people to climb up the mountain to see if anyone around him discovered them. After all, this was assassination of the imperial officials and the imperial envoy. The crime was quite serious. Although they had already taken action, they did not intend to expose them. Even the group was masked with black cloth.
"Bah, I still want to search my Ning family and exterminate the clan, but I don't see how much I have."
On the official road, Ning Shan walked to Li Yan's body, and he was still angry and kicked him hatefully. Because he could hear what Li Yan and the close servant said just now, he wanted to search his Ning family and exterminate his clan. At this time, Li Yan had completely died and his throat was shot through with an arrow. This was Li Ran's shot. That guy had a good archery technique, but Li Yan was obviously dying with his eyes open, and his eyes were wide open.
"Everyone takes action and find out all the valuable things on them for me, remember that we are bandits, and this time we came for the robbery of wealth."
Ning Shan said to the people around him again, pretending to be a bandit and robbing money, which they had agreed in advance.
A group of people took action, and within a few strokes, they searched out the wallets of these people. Not to mention, these people were very well-off. Each of the close servants had nearly dozens of silver coins, and Li Yan even found more than a dozen gold coins, but this was not over yet.
"Ning Guard, here."
An escort named Ning Shan walked down from the carriage, took a small box in his hand and handed it to Ning Shan. He started to look heavy, opened it and took a look-
Oh, what a guy, it's golden, all of them are gold coins.
"I'm rich!"
The guards next to them were all golden lights because the things in the small box were all gold coins. Roughly estimated, there were thousands or thousands of gold coins. What does this mean? Ordinary people may not earn a gold coins a year.
"Damn it, disaster relief, disaster relief, this old Wangba, has also been greedy for the money for disaster relief." Ning Shan cursed, then he smiled: "It just happened to be cheap for us. Today I will make the decision. Each of the people who come today will have one gold coin, and the other money will be handed over to the wife for treatment when she comes back to her evening."
"Haha, it's great, I'd rather guard for justice!"
"It would be great if you kill a few more corrupt officials like this."
"Shh!"
At this moment, a sharp and loud whistle sounded, which changed the faces of several people-
"Someone is coming, the wind is tight, so let the call out."
Ning Shan said, and then a group of people rushed into the woods with the money they had robbed.
................
"What, bang, all died..."
In the afternoon, at the government office, Tang Renjing slapped the table with a big hand, and stood up, his face full of shock and disbelief, because just now, he received news that Li Yan and his dozen of his close servants were all dead, dead on the Beishan Road, suspected that he had encountered bandits being robbed and killed, money being robbed, and Li Yan was even pierced by a arrow and killed directly.
When Tang Renjing heard this news, he was confused and had only one idea in his mind - he was about to break the sky.
