Chapter 122
In the morning, Jin Zhifu, who was in a daze from a hangover, suddenly heard the long follower calling in a low voice outside, and couldn't help but feel a little annoyed—what the hell, I don't know if I drank too much last night, what is it called?

But vaguely remembered that he was here to suppress the bandits, if he showed a slack look, he had to be careful that Li Buqi, who had all eyes and eyes, would catch him, so although he was upset, he still got up and asked, "What's the matter?"

Then the long follower came in to help him dress, and walked out of the bedroom, the master hurried over to report: "Just as the city gate opened, the people sent by He Dujian to report the victory arrived. More than seven hundred people, only the village leader Hao Dachong and the second village leader Jiang Ying."

"What?" Jin Zhifu suddenly woke up from the wine: "Break through Zhuantianzhai last night? Did He Tao drink too much? If Zhuantianzhai is so easy to take down, why do you need to call Li Buqi? It can't be He killed the good and pretended to be meritorious?"

"I don't believe it either, so I asked the person who sent the letter repeatedly. He swore that Li Buqi led people across the back mountain ridge, first set fire to it with stone cannons, and then led them into the stockade. Then some bandits tried to escape from the front mountain and were shocked. The Wu army shot back in a burst of arrows, so everyone in the village was captured, only the bandit leader took advantage of the chaos and fell down the cliff without a trace."

"It's really a stone cannon? This, how is this possible? Didn't you say that Zhuantianzhai should be a gatekeeper? It's not that the method of fire attack has never been used before, and it has never hurt the thief at all. Why did Li not abandon it?" Just attacked? How many casualties were there for the officers and soldiers?"

"Only one died, and it was He Dujian's subordinate. More than [-] people were injured, but except for one arrow wound and one knife wound, the rest were all burns or sprained feet, and they were all minor injuries."

Prefect Jin didn't believe it at first, but when he saw Master's sympathetic expression, he started to have a headache.The memorial he accused Li Buqi of shrinking back must have arrived in the capital at this time, and suddenly he sent another memorial saying that the thief's lair was captured by Li Buqi and there were no casualties.Isn't this slapping yourself in the face!

After calming down his mind, Prefect Jin turned his mind quickly, and immediately found a breakthrough, and decided to use the nitpicking method and the deductive method of seeing the subtleties and catching the wind and shadows.hum!You, Li Buqi, thought you would be fine if you captured the cottage?As long as you do things, you can't be perfect, there are always faults to pick!
"Huh? Why did the bandit leader leave? They surrounded the bandit with nearly 2000 people, how could they let the bandit leader escape?"

The master's face was drawn into buns - 2000 people were on paper, only the Zhenwu Army had a full staff of the few commanders who entered the mountain, and [-]% of the other commanders would be good.But he couldn't answer this question like this, otherwise it would be bad rules. Fortunately, Supervisor He Du had already given a reason, and he hurriedly replied: "It was already dusk when the Zhenwu Army invaded Zhuantian Village, and then they fought until dark to capture the entire village. The stockade. The bandit leader went down the mountain from the place he had prepared long ago, and it was difficult to search in the dark, so he let them run away."

Jin Zhifu stroked his beard and half-closed his eyes, looking far-sighted: "Don't you think it's strange? Since Li Buqi was able to break the stockade so quickly and effortlessly, why couldn't he break the stockade an hour earlier? In the dark night The thief is easy to escape and he will not be unaware. Do you think there is anything strange about it?"

Although the master has been with Jin Zhifu for several years, he was also frightened by Jin Zhifu's bottomless line.But the prefect of Jin was the proprietor, so he had no choice but to say, "Well, there must be something strange about this."

"Oh, sure enough, you can see the strangeness. Since Li Buqi has such a means to break the stockade one day, why didn't he use it early? He had to delay for such a long time, and he had to take the stockade when it was dark, and let the bandits go. Tuo, this is the strange thing. No matter how you look at it, it seems that Li Buqi has an affair with the bandit leader. When they agreed to attack the mountain, the bandit leader released Li Buqi and took the stockade to give him a merit. Li Buqi only caught the young man. Hey, let the bandit chief go. You see, don't you?"

The master opened his mouth but could no longer make a sound. He was already desperate for the officialdom: How dark!

The prefect of Jin regained his composure, smiled and patted the shoulder of the teacher with a broken picture: "You can see through Li Buqi's treacherous schemes, which is considered insightful, but it was good to keep you by my side."

The master cursed secretly in his heart: "What the hell, you want to harm others but let me take the blame, are you human?"

The prefect of Jin didn't care about the master's feelings at all, and ordered in a good mood: "Order He Tao to flatten the cottage, and bring all the captured thieves to the county seat, and I will check it myself."

When the order was passed to Zhuantianzhai, Supervisor He hurriedly came to find Li Buqi.Now these military leaders are offering to Li Buqi like their ancestors, not only because Li Buqi has the ability to take down Zhuantianzhai without dying, but more importantly, they want Li Buqi to cover them up.

Originally, the Zhenwu Army rushed into Zhuantian Village with swordsmen and spearmen in iron armor as the vanguard, and immediately lost the courage of the bandits who had always been brave and dangerous to resist. Hao Dachong lost in the counterattack commanded by Hao Dachong, and the remaining old and weak fish threw their knives and guns and surrendered in all likelihood. Therefore, only one unlucky guy in the Zhenwu Army was shot in the shoulder by a strong bow during the whole process, and was still slightly injured.

However, unlike Zhenwu Junqiu Wuzuo, He Dujian's subordinates who came up from the former mountain had an internal strife in order to grab the thief's property, and even drew their swords to each other, causing one death and one injury.And because they were eager to snatch the property of the bandits, no one searched the village carefully. When they found that there were no bandits, they found a rope hanging down the cliff in the woodshed by the cliff.This is obviously the back road that has been left for a long time.

The death of a person and the escape of the thief leader were all caused by He Du's lax supervision. If Li Buqi was stabbed out, He Du's supervisor would have to take a look.Therefore, He Dujian absolutely must coax Li Buqi.

After conveying the magistrate's order to Li Buqi, Li Buqi said: "He Dujian, the Zhenwu army attacked for a day, and the men and horses were exhausted. I want to take them back to the city first. What happened here..."

He Tao immediately agreed: "Don't worry about Tiju. Just leave the matter here to me, and leave two commanders to level the cottage. Let's go back to the city together."

It's good to have someone to do odd jobs. Li Buqi took the Zhenwu Army back to the camp outside the county to rest and recuperate.

Chief Shi, who had been monitoring the Zhenwu Army from a distance, hurried back to the village after the Zhenwu Army arrived at the county seat: "Li Buqi has returned to the county seat."

"Is it really going back like this?" Lady Ying asked.

"There was no delay at all on the way." Leader Shi said, "It seems that Li Buqi really has no intention of dealing with us."

Lady Ying turned to the scholar: "Brother, what do you think?"

But Xiucai looked at Leader Shi: "Shangshan can't go back. If you want to gain a foothold elsewhere, you will definitely alarm the government. With people like Li Buqi around, not to mention wanting to reproduce last year's momentum, you just want to occupy a piece of land." It’s hard to find the right place.”

Seeing that Chief Shi didn't speak but just sighed, Luo Xiucai said, "If Li Buqi really didn't lie to me, it's better to hide his name and go to sea to earn a fortune, and then come back to gather up the wandering brothers, so that they can live."

Leader Shi sighed heavily and did not speak, which was a tacit agreement.Lady Ying frowned for a long time and finally made a decision: "Then I have to meet with Li Buqi again and ask about it. I will go with you. If Li Buqi is not good for you, there will be a response."
