Chapter 17 - Bandits!

"Yes... it's Uncle." He said that since Li Yuguo recruited these people, everyone who worked here has I can get some food, so my impression of Li Huguo is also greatly improved.

"Uncle Zhong, why are there so few people all of a sudden?" Li Huguo said with concern.

"They were all caught by the water bandits... There is a stockade on the west side of the Nalan River. The water bandits in this stockade came to collect taxes, saying that the water flowed down from their upper reaches, and they had to pay taxes." Uncle Zhong said, At this time, Uncle Zhong had a hole in his head, and the blood flowed non-stop.

Li Yuguo sneered: "A group of water bandits even dared to demand high-sounding taxes. Now that Nalan City is in recession, even the county owner has suspended charges, and their group of water bandits have even collected the fees."

"Wait a minute. , Uncle... That's not right, isn't the head tax paid every year?" said Uncle Zhong.

"Huh? Who did you hear?"

"The clerks go door-to-door every month." Uncle Zhong said. The King of Thieves approached the ear and said, "The officers are all from Li Yutang." Li Yuguo nodded: "It seems that this guy is using the banner of Nalan City and has done a lot of bad things, let's go... Let's go to the water first. There are important people in the village, but the villagers must not be injured."

"I, I will go too." Jun Xue said.

"You stay here, there are so many injured villagers here, you can help them bandage, it's just a mere water bandit, and the Thief King and I are more than enough to deal with it." Li Yuguo said.

"Okay...Okay, then young master, you must be careful!" Jun Xue stared at Li Yuguo and said.

"Alright, don't worry!" Li Yuguo walked directly towards the river bank. Uncle Zhong looked at Li Huguo's back, and he murmured: "It seems that the uncle has really turned his back on the prodigal son..."

"Where, the uncle was not a prodigal son, and what he did is for a reason!" Jun Xue said protectively, she took out some bandages from her small shoulder bag and said.

Uncle Zhong smiled and said, "The little girl is very protective of your young master." Jun Xue blushed: "After all, after all, he is my young master..."

"No other meaning?" Uncle Zhong deliberately made fun.

"No, no!" Jun Xue pulled the bandage hard. Uncle Zhong shouted, "Oh, oh, it hurts! Little girl, take it lightly, my old bones!" On the edge of the Nalan River, Li Huguo walked in front, and the King of Thieves said: "It seems that Li Yutang, It's far more complicated than we thought..." Li Hugo kicked off a stone at his feet: "It's not an easy task to completely remove his masks. It is estimated that these bandits around him are more or less compatible with each other. He has something to do with him. We are farming here, and he must know that. You said that ordinary people don't pay tax on drinking water. Isn't it too strange that he has to pay tax now?"

"Obviously." The Road of Thieves.

"Yes, obviously." Li Yuguo said, the two of them didn't break the line, but they already knew what the other party wanted to say.

At the end of the big river, it really is a water village spanning the river. This water village looks like a river bank, or a wooden stockade built on the bridge.

This stockade has two floors, the upper floor is a residence, the lower floor is a river, and there are many boats around. Not far from Li Yuguo, there was a group of patrols walking around, and it seemed that they were all homeless people who went to sea.

"It's really poor, this water village." The Thief Emperor said.

"There are still rich people in the water village?"

"Of course, the water village near the capital has two or three thousand minions. Their strength is no less than a medium sect, and all of them are standard weapons, which can't be compared with here. ... It should be said that a group of stinky fish and rotten shrimp are made together." The Thief Emperor seems to be comparing the strength of the two.

When the Thief Emperor said this, Li Yuguo had a bottom line in his heart, and without saying a word, he immediately stood up from the grass.

"Brother, what are you doing?"

"What are you doing? I'm going to attract firepower, you find an opportunity to save people!" Li Yuguo said. The Thief King could not laugh or cry: "I said...don't you use yourself as a bait? Well...then I'll go first!" After saying that, the Thief King disappeared in place.

And Li Yuguo quickened his pace and walked directly towards the water village in an open and honest way. The brothers in the surrounding water villages saw Li Yuguo and came forward one after another.

"Who is it? Do you know where this place is?" said two minions who came. Li Huguo hit him and stretched out his arms: "That... cannon..."

"Cannon?" The two scoundrels looked at each other,

"Is this guy funny?"

"Cannon fist!" Li Yuguo's eyes It suddenly became fierce, a pair of fists At the same time, he rushed forward.

Boom! With two muffled noises, these two unlucky minions were immediately hit in the abdomen by Li Hugo! The two of them arched their backs and bent forward at the same time, and the painful face was deformed!

But Li Huguo didn't intend to end it so early. He immediately stretched out his hands and grabbed the back of the two people's heads, and slapped them in the middle, like a cymbal of a folk musical instrument.

"Crack!" The two collided face to face, and immediately both noses were crooked at the same time, and they fell backwards.

"This move is called a big cymbal face-based fist!" Li Yuguo blew the hair on his hand, he smiled, and walked forward. He saw Li Yuguo's ability around him, how could he still dare to fight, he turned around and moved towards Run in the direction of Shuizhai.

"Stop, stop!" The five minions stood at the gate of the water village, staring at Li Yuguo with harpoons in their hands.

They were barefoot, wearing tattered clothes, and they looked very embarrassed. At a glance, they knew that their village owner was not very good to them.

"Why, do you want to come and experience the feeling of a roller coaster?" Li Hugo said with a movement of his joints.

The five of them were sweating profusely, but when they thought of their boss's anger, they were afraid in their hearts.

Li Yuguo smiled, the corners of his mouth widened. He took out some broken silver and sprinkled it on the ground. Clap la la... At almost the same time, all the five big men lost their harpoons, and all of them had their knees pressed to the ground, like a knee skateboard on a football grass. They slid in front of Li Hugo and began to collect money.

"Tell me, how many people are there," Li Huguo said. He didn't want to waste his energy for no reason.

One of the big men put the money in his trousers pocket, and he smiled apologetically: "Master, our boss is inside, you can go... Those folks are also locked up, but don't worry, no one died, after all These are all people from Nalan City, and the boss of my family does not dare to do anything. If we provoke the tigress of Nalan City, our mere water village will basically be wiped out."

"Tigress? Yes, it is indeed a tigress..." Li Yuguo thought of Nalan Meng, and she was indeed fierce sometimes and thinking about that fierce tigress that everyone is afraid of is standing in a bar wearing his semi nude outfit every night .

"Yes, do you want to make money?" Li Yuguo asked around. Those scoundrels came together one after another, and some people who didn't get the money also came together.

"Of course, our boss gives us a steamed bun every day, and he doesn't give us any money. Look at how thin everyone is... We become water thieves, and we don't just want to fill our mouths with food." said a scoundrel. .

"Okay, you will follow me from now on, each one has a bucket of noodles a day." Li Yuguo said. One bucket of noodles, if you mix the noodles yourself, you can make four steamed buns, such a rich reward that everyone here is stunned.

Seeing that they didn't speak, Li Yuguo said, "Not satisfied? If you perform well, you will get some money every month." Suddenly, more than a dozen people around them all knelt on the ground and shouted in unison, "Dad! "Li Yuguo brought a large group

of "sons" to the courtyard of Shuizhai. Sure enough, a sturdy man was eating fruit with his legs crossed. When he saw Li Yuguo coming, the man stood up and said with a smile: "Huh, but In this way, you have all arrested him, and tonight, everyone will be rewarded with half a bowl of wine!" Li Yuguo put his hands on his hips, he saw the foot in the yard, it was the King of Thieves, he immediately shook his head at the King of Thieves.

Because when the Thief King makes a move, people will inevitably die. Although the water bandits here are abominable, they have not yet reached the point where they must be killed. The Thief King immediately understood, nodded towards Li Yuguo, and looked around silently.

The big man said, "Why don't you tie him up? What are you all doing, tie him up, and then send him to Nalan City for a reward that can be exchanged for a ticket!"

"Oh, it looks like I'm still wanted. Excuse me, how much am I worth?" he said.

The big man came over, holding a hemp rope in his hand. He was more than two meters tall, muscular, and looked very strong: "Not much, five hundred taels of silver."

"five hundred taels, help me to point out who this person is. Who." After speaking, Li Yuguo snapped his fingers, and five large pieces of silver appeared in front of him, which were government-marked silver, each worth one hundred taels of silver.

This silver appeared here, and everyone was stunned. The big man gritted his teeth: "Since I promised that person, then I will not break my promise! Even if you give me five thousand taels of silver, I will not betray him, this is the rule of the road!"
