The guys in the rice shop yelled, and the thugs and laborers in the backyard rushed out. Qiq

Outside, Li Haoquan was still carrying Houba and his guards. When he saw the other party rushing out, he whispered: "General, what should we do?"

"What else can we do? The soldiers are coming to cover up the water and the earth. You quickly go back to the house and call in. I will support you here." Li Haoquan immediately replied.

As soon as he heard that the guards called Li Haoquan general, Houba was stunned and stammered quickly: "You, what are you?"

"I'm your father!" Li Haoquan didn't have time to pay attention to him. He shouted, flicked his hand, and threw Monkey Ba out.

With a "bang", the boy was hit against the wall and fainted on the spot.

The guard who had just asked the question ran away and went back to report the news. Mihang's thugs soon came out in large numbers. Once there were more, they rushed towards Li Haoquan and the others. The thugs had sticks in their hands. Li Haoquan and the others were out to buy food.

He didn't bring any weapons, so he had to fight with bare hands.

Even though they didn't have weapons, Li Haoquan and the others could easily be dealt with. Not to mention Li Haoquan's ability, but those guards were well trained, and some had even been on the battlefield. This attack was done by Mi Pu.

Several thugs were knocked over at that time. Li Haoquan grabbed a stick and became even more powerful. He could easily deal with four or five of them by himself.

When the thugs from the rice shop came out, the people who were queuing up to buy rice fled in a hurry. Only the young woman was still crying because her daughter had fainted. Although the beating was severe in front of her and she was scared in her heart, both parties had already started to take action and wanted to hold her daughter.

It was too late to run away. I could only hug my daughter and hide beside the car in fear.

There are quite a lot of thugs and laborers in Mipu. Seeing that Jiujiu was able to take down the enemy, more and more people came out. The shopkeeper of Mipu stood at the door and shouted loudly, "Beat me and kill me."

Beat him! If he is beaten to death, I will take care of him!"

With his words, the thugs were even more afraid. Although Li Haoquan and the others were very capable, there were too many opponents. Wave after wave, they attacked like a tidal wave. As time went by, they could no longer bear the burden.

Although they defeated more than 20 people, four of them were defeated by each other. Li Haoquan was the best in martial arts, and the people who besieged him were also the most. A few people surrounded him in the middle, and the guy in his hand was looking for death. Li Haoquan

He held a big stick in his hand and struck here and there. But after all, the stick was no better than a sword or a gun. If he hit the opponent in a key part, he would be able to subdue him. If he didn't hit the vital part, it would only hurt for a while. Finally, he defeated two of them.

The horse has taken the supplement. If the beating continued like this, Li Haoquan could not withstand it. After a while, he himself took several bites.

As time went by, more and more people on Li Haoquan's side were defeated. In the end, forty or fifty people were defeated. Li Haoquan's men were all defeated, and he was the only one left who was still fighting desperately.

At this moment, a series of footsteps sounded at the street entrance. It turned out that Yue Fu was coming.

The guard just now hurried back to the Yue Mansion without looking for anyone else to go in. He went directly to find Li Haoran. After all, Yue Daru, Jin Chan, and Tie Qiu were not at home. If he didn't look for General Li's brother, who else would he look for? Li Haoran

As soon as he heard about this, he hurried over with fifty yuan. Li Haoran would not wear military uniforms at home normally, and the guards of the mansion only wore military uniforms when they were on duty and wore casual clothes when they were resting. Of course he couldn't

The guards who were on duty were dispatched, and all of them were resting. They all rushed out and headed straight for Mipu.

When he ran to the street, Li Haoran saw a large group of people surrounding him at a glance. Even if he couldn't see clearly the face of the person inside, Li Haoran could also feel that the person surrounded was his younger brother. Seeing this

How could Li Haoran not get angry when his younger brother was beaten too much? He, who is usually cautious, became angry today and shouted, "Brothers, follow me!"

Li Haoran rushed in, and when Mi Pu saw the other party's helper coming, he hurriedly greeted him. The two sides started fighting without saying a word. While fighting, Li Haoran looked for where his brother was, and finally found out where his brother was.

When he entered the group, he found that Li Haoquan was being beaten by a group of people.

As a result, Li Haoran became even more anxious and shouted loudly: "Beat me to death!"

Li Haoran only brought fifty men, which was still not as many as his opponent, but one thing was that the gang he brought were all armed with weapons. With Li Haoran's words, this gang showed off, then

Fortunately, several of Mipu's thugs were chopped down on the spot. Seeing this, the other party was obviously dumbfounded, and some shouted loudly: "Shopkeeper, they have weapons!"

The shopkeeper of Mipu saw it clearly and shouted quickly: "Don't panic, hold on, I'll go find the boss right away! Give me a good beating, and when the boss comes, you will be rewarded heavily for every purchase!"

Upon hearing that there was a big reward, the thugs got excited again and started to fight with Li Haoran.

The shopkeeper of the rice shop, with two waiters, ran to another street. After running for a while, his fat body couldn't bear it anymore, and finally he had to say to one of the waiters: "Second son, hurry back to your house and take care of this place."

Tell the boss about the situation and ask the boss to send in help as soon as possible!"

"Yes, yes..." The waiter named Erzi agreed repeatedly, and then ran as fast as he could to Qianqian Street.

After a while, I came to a main street. This area was filled with officials and officials. Turning around the street and walking further, you will find the Liu family of Guang Enbo. The ancestor of the Liu family was Liu, the hero of the Jingnan period.

Cai, hereditary Guang Enbo, served as Yaoyi Wei Xuanli Wuchente and entered Ronglu Dafu Zhuguo.

This title is actually not small, but compared with other nobles during the Jingnan period, it is nothing. However, the Liu family is also lucky. During the Yaoqi period, Zhu Carpenter once married his sister, Princess Ningde, Zhu Hui

Yan married Liu Youfu, the son of the current Guang Enbo Liu Zhiqin. As a result, Liu Youfu became the Prince Consort, and the status of the Liu family has been improved a step further. As a result, Liu Zhiqin also became a fellow governor in the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion.

Know.

"It's not good, it's not good, something big has happened! Take me to see the master quickly, something big has happened..."

As he hurried to the door of the Earl's Mansion, the second son shouted loudly.

"What are you yelling about? What happened?" The guard guarding the door asked loudly when he saw the second son yelling.

"Yes, yes... there are people who came in and smashed the rice shop, and... and they were holding weapons. We came in, and we were injured a lot by them... Quick, take me to see the master..." Erzi was panting.

cried the ground.

"Ah...Jing, if this is the case, come with me..." Seeing the seriousness of the situation, the guard quickly brought the second son into the mansion. He met with the concierge and told the matter. The concierge did not dare to delay, so he took the second son and walked towards the flower hall of the mansion.

go.

In the flower hall of the Earl's Mansion, a young man in his twenties was talking to a middle-aged man in his forties. The young man was Liu Youfu, the Prince Consort, and the middle-aged man was his father, Guang Enbo Liu Zhiqin.

.

"Father, it is unlikely that there will be a severe drought this time. Bandits are rampant. We can make a lot of money. Now that the food has risen to fifteen taels of silver and one stone, we don't have to worry about being unable to sell it." Liu Youfu said proudly.

"That's what I said, but if the bandits continue to cause trouble, nothing will happen to the Ming Dynasty. Once... Then our wealth will be over..." Although Liu Zhiqin did not clarify what he said, everyone can understand it.

, what is his hidden meaning?

"Father, you are just worried about the future. How could you possibly destroy the Ming Dynasty with mere bandits? Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there have been few such things. Let's not talk about it in the distant past. Let's just talk about the White Lotus Sect and Zhan Zhan in the past few years.

The Dragon Gang rebelled, and after struggling for so long, it was put down. We have many soldiers in the Ming Dynasty, and these rogue bandits will definitely be put down within a year or two. What we want to do is to fight within this limited area.

You can earn more money in a short period of time." Liu Youfu said with a smile.

"What you said is correct. We just won a battle in Taiyuan some time ago, and even the bandit leader Ziyong died. The remaining remnants probably won't last long. Take advantage of this time,

Earning more money is the right way. But our rice shop doesn't have much food in stock, and we will have to sell it all if we use it for a long time. The rogue bandits at the border between Henan and Huguang are making trouble, and it is difficult for us to get food."

Liu Zhiqin said.

"It's difficult to walk by land. Can we take water? It's a bit of a hassle at most, but we can still find it from the price of grain. I plan to send people to go south by water tomorrow to prepare grain, and try to do my best before the grain in our rice shop is sold out.

Ship it to Beijing." Liu Youfu said.

"Okay, let's do it."

Rogue bandits were rampant. As a prince consort, he spent all his time thinking about how to make money for the country, which was in dire straits. It can be said that they were not the only ones with such scheming. The Ming Dynasty could reach this point today, and it was inseparable from these gangs.

While they were talking, the concierge brought the second son to the door of the flower hall. The second son was also anxious, and without waiting for the concierge to send word, he shouted again, "It's not good, something serious is going to happen..."

"What's the ghost's name? Are you a thousand or something?" The father and son were still studying how to make money. How could they not be upset when such a person suddenly appeared? Liu Youfu then shouted loudly.

"Prince-in-law, he is the clerk of our rice shop. We call him Erzi. Shopkeeper Liu asked him to come, saying that something big happened there." The concierge quickly explained carefully.

"Come in." Liu Zhiqin's temper was much better than that of his son, and he had a somewhat noble demeanor. When the concierge and his second son entered the flower hall, he said calmly: "What happened at Mipu?"

"Yes, there were people who came in to smash the rice shop. There were a dozen of them at first, and then dozens of people came. They all had weapons in their hands. They were so powerful. Many of the guards at the rice shop were injured. The shopkeeper

He asked me to report the news to my employer as soon as possible..." Erzi quickly explained the situation.

"What? There are still people who dare to come to our Liu Ji rice shop to cause trouble. They are simply too ambitious and courageous! Go and greet me, young master. I want to see for myself, who has such courage?

?”

After hearing what Erzi said, Liu Youfu became angry at that time, jumped up from his chair, and walked outside.
