Thief Emperor

Chapter 78 Both sides suffer! (Subscribe please!!)
Li Yun told a little lie.

The main thing is that the man surnamed Yang seems to be smart and not someone who can be easily fooled. He might privately ask the people in the anti-theft team about the truth. If someone lets the cat out of the bag, it will be difficult for Li Yun to cover up his lie.

Because if the man surnamed Yang knew that Li Yun brought more than one group of people up the mountain last night, he would definitely be able to guess who those "Ten Kings Village bandits" who don't know him are in Ten Kings Village!

Of course, Li Yun didn't lie completely.

Because there were indeed Hexi rebels in the Cangshan stronghold, and Meng Hai, a young man from Hexi Village, was also present last night. Now Meng Hai is still in the Shiwang Stronghold, helping Liu Bo find people.

On this level, Li Yun did not lie.

Most of the members of the anti-theft team followed Li Yun to Shidai to quell the riot, and they were all very familiar with what happened in Hexi Village. Even if they had not been there, most of them had heard about it from their colleagues and were very aware of the seriousness of the matter, so they all patted their chests and promised that they would not tell anyone.

Mr. Li looked around at everyone and said with a smile, "Well, let's make an agreement here. No one will tell anyone about what happened last night. If anyone tells anyone in the future, it will only bring trouble to the brothers."

"I, Li Zhao, will never forgive him."

The deterrent power of Li Yun's words may be even greater than the four words "Hexi rebel".

Because what he has shown in front of these colleagues in the past few months can be said to be absolute force. In the eyes of the anti-theft team, he is a real, invincible existence!

No one can ignore the threat from such a strong man!
After all, among these twenty-plus yamen runners, few could be a match for Li Yun. If it came to fighting with fists and feet, it was not impossible for Li Yun to beat them all by himself.

After saying a harsh word, the leader Li felt around in his arms and finally pulled out an irregular nugget of gold. The nugget was not small, weighing almost ten taels, or more than half a pound.

He looked at everyone and said with a smile: "Last night, my brothers risked their lives, I can't let them suffer. I found this piece of gold in the Ten Kings Village. Let's divide it now, otherwise it will be robbed by those people in the state."

As he said that, he looked at Chen Da and asked with a smile: "Chen Da, do you want to divide the gold here now, or do you want to exchange it for money and then divide it equally among the brothers?"

Chen Da swallowed his saliva and said, "Boss, there are no scissors here either."

Li Yun smiled and stuffed the gold nugget into his hand, then said with a smile: "Then I'll leave this matter to you. After returning to Qingyang, convert it into cash and distribute it to the brothers."

His face turned serious and he continued, "No corruption allowed. Share it equally among the brothers."

"For the two brothers who died in battle, please arrange their funeral affairs properly and give them compensation. I will personally deliver it to their families after I return in a few days."

Chen Da responded with a "yes", then looked up at Li Yun and said, "Boss, from what you said, you don't plan to go back to Qingyang with us?"

Li Yun shook his head, looked outside, and whispered, "Those Hexi rebels are a nuisance. For the sake of my brothers, I need to spend a few days to deal with them."

"You go back first."

Li Yun thought for a moment and added, "If the county magistrate comes back and asks me where I have been, you can say that I was injured and went to recuperate."

Chen Da first nodded, then smiled and said, "Boss, you may not know that when you are not in the county government office, the county magistrate rarely asks about your whereabouts. But Miss Xue often asks us where you have been."

Li Yun glared at him, and Chen Dalian quickly lowered his head and stopped talking.

Li Dadutou then looked at everyone and said slowly: "Okay, brothers, after you have rested, go back to Qingyang on your own. After I deal with the disaster, I will go back and treat you brothers to a drink!"

Everyone applauded.

Before leaving, Li Yun pulled Chen Da aside and said, "Chen Da, if anyone outside comes to the county government to look for me and asks me where I have been."

Chen Da said seriously: "I don't know."

Li Yun then smiled and nodded, patting him on the shoulder: "Good boy!"

Chen Da chuckled, looked up at Li Yun, and suddenly said, "Boss, if you have any problems in the future, don't forget me."

Li Yun was stunned, then patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will never forget you no matter who I forget."

…………

After saying goodbye to the anti-theft team, Li Yun once again went up to the Ten Kings Peak from the small road.

He was very familiar with walking on mountain roads. In the afternoon, he successfully returned to the Ten Kings Village. At this time, Liu Bo, Li Zheng and others had already searched the Ten Kings Village inside and out.

However, apart from finding 20 or 30 "family members of bandits" who had hidden away, there was no other gain. In other words, at least 100 or 200 people from the Ten Kings Village had disappeared without a trace!

When Li Yun returned to Shiwangzhai, Li Zheng and others were setting up a pot to cook rice. Seeing Li Yun coming back, Li Zheng hurriedly went to greet him and said with a smile: "Are you hungry, second brother? It will be ready soon."

Life in the village was like this, and eating was often just a way of getting by. Li Yun didn't say much, and sat down at the main seat in the Juyi Hall, and asked, "It's been half a day, and you haven't found anyone?"

Liu Bo poured a bowl of rice porridge and placed it in front of Li Yun, shaking his head and saying, "It's very strange, as if they disappeared suddenly. Third Uncle and the others have gone to the back mountain of Ten Kings Peak to look for them. I wonder if they can find their hiding place."

Li Zheng also brought a bowl of porridge and sat next to Li Yun. After taking a bite, he said vaguely: "Second brother, do you think they ran away early?"

Li Yun shook his head: "Impossible. It's only been a few days since Boss Tong came back and we came here. How can the family business of Shiwangzhai that has been in existence for decades just be gone?"

"That Tu guy also said that there was an internal conflict in the Ten Kings Village. It's impossible for them to just leave when they have an internal conflict."

"and…"

Village Chief Li tapped the table with his fingers and said, "Even if Boss Tong suffered a loss, he would never have thought that we would come to the Ten Kings Village to find him so soon, let alone abandon the village and run away in disgrace."

Li Yun lowered his head and drank a mouthful of rice porridge, then asked, "Is it hidden in some secret room?"

“I’ve found them all.”

Liu Bo finished half a bowl of rice porridge in one gulp and said, "Apart from finding a lot of valuables, we didn't find anyone."

While the three brothers were discussing, the tall Zhou Liang strode in. He had been holding his head high, but when he saw Li Yun was also there, he quickly bent down and clasped his fists and said, "Village leader!"

Li Yun looked up at him and asked with a smile, "Did Uncle San find someone?"

Zhou Liang looked strange: "I found it."

Li Yun smiled and asked, "In the back hills of Ten Kings Peak?"

"Ah."

Zhou Liang nodded and said, "There are more than a hundred people hiding in a cave, but the situation is a little strange."

Li Yun pulled him to sit down, then signaled Liu Bo to serve him a bowl of porridge. When the porridge was served, the village chief Li smiled and said, "Don't worry, talk slowly."

Zhou Liang drank half a bowl of rice porridge in one gulp, then wiped his mouth and said to Li Yun: "Village leader, the people in the cave are divided into two groups, watching out for each other, and people on both sides are injured."

"It seems that before we go up the mountain..."

Zhou Liang finished the remaining rice porridge in one gulp and said with a smile: "They have already had a fight."

Li Dadu nodded, touched his chin and said: "One of the parties should be Boss Tong, and the other side..."

Li Yun looked at Liu Bo and asked, "What's the name of their second in command?"

“Ying Hao!”

Liu Bo answered without hesitation, gritting his teeth.

Li Yun narrowed his eyes and said softly: "It should be these two. Their third brother died in our Cangshan Mountain."

At this point, Li Yun stood up and asked with a smile: "Uncle San, can they still resist?"

Zhou Liang shook his head: "Almost all the bandits in the cave were injured, and the rest were their families. Hu Zi brought more than 20 people with him, and they had no ability to resist."

"it is good."

"Let's go, Lao Jiu."

Li Yun patted Liu Bo on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"Let's go take a look!"
