“Kill!”

"Kill them!"

"Get started!"

Almost at the moment when Li You and Tian Saburo fought, the two sides started fighting in the narrow cave.

When Li You heard those words before he died, he fell down with his eyes open.

Tian Saburo drew his sword and joined the fight with his men.

Although they are fewer in number than the other side, each of them is a good fighter in the Qinglong Society.

In comparison, the people on Li You's side are all high-level officials of Wuyou Cave. They rarely go into battle anymore, and their physical strength and combat power are completely not on the same level.

In just one encounter, four men were hacked to the ground. The remaining four were terrified and quickly knelt down to beg for mercy, "Mercy, mercy! Sanlang, please don't kill us. I even treated you to a meal."

One of them was Li You's younger brother. He shouted, "Sanlang, I know where my brother is hiding in the cave. If you don't kill me, I will take you there. There are gold, silver and jewelry worth four or five hundred thousand strings of cash, enough for you to live a life of wealth and glory."

"oh?"

Tian Saburo put down the knife he had raised and asked in surprise, "Where is it?"

"I don't know exactly where it is. He goes in person every time he delivers something, but I know the approximate location."

Li You's brother told everything in order to save his life.

Tian Sanlang thought for a moment, then swung his sword and killed the remaining three people. He then said to him, "Take us with you. Don't worry, we are from the Imperial City Bureau. As long as you obey, we promise not to kill you and even let you redeem yourself for your crimes!"

"Yes, yes, yes."

Li You's brother didn't dare to do anything when faced with several knives at his neck, so he had to obey.

However, he really didn't know the exact location of Li You's cave, but he knew its approximate location. Every time Li You transported supplies in the past, he asked him to help drive the boat and carry the supplies, so he knew it very well.

The group got on the boat. Tian Saburo tied Li You's brother's hands and feet with the belt from the dead body, asked him to point out the direction, and everyone drove the boat deep into the dark river.

This underground river is also crisscrossed, with countless branches and twists and turns. If there is no one to guide the route, it is really difficult to find the place.

Finally they stopped at another small river beach. Tian Saburo asked two people to watch Li You's brother on the boat, and he took the other two people to the river beach. Then he found a ladder nearby and climbed in from under a pit.

There were indeed secret passages inside. Fortunately, there were not many secret passages. The three people searched for about half an hour and accidentally found Li You’s hiding cave, which contained countless gold, silver and jewelry.

Just when Tian Saburo eliminated Li You, the deputy leader of Wuyou Cave, the battle at Wuyou Cave headquarters was also nearing its end. At least a thousand Wuyou Cave gangsters were killed, more than two to three thousand were captured, and countless people jumped into the river to escape.

Kaifeng Prefecture and the Imperial City Guards were doing the finishing work. Since this place was relatively close to the ground, the news was reported quickly.

The area around the intersection of Dongzhi Street and Nanheng Street at Caihe Yunqi Bridge was blocked at this moment. The government suddenly took action and ordered all shops on the entire street to close, stalls were not allowed to be set up, and citizens and neighbors went home immediately.

Although this affected the economy of Fenglingfang Street overnight, it was worth sacrificing this little bit in order to eradicate the cancerous Wuyou Cave below.

Zhao Jun was wearing a purple robe and had a young and handsome face. He stood on a high platform beside the bridge with his hands behind his back.

On the opposite bank of the river, at dawn in Fantai, willow branches sway in the wind. The seven-story iron pagoda of Fantai Temple is hidden in the darkness, and its dark reflection emerges in the moonlight.

Several canal exits below the bank were surrounded by densely packed boats. In addition to the guards and Kaifeng government officials on duty, there were also doctors from nearby clinics who were temporarily recruited.

No one knows how many victims there are.

Zhao Jun had seen these victims before. Many of them had wounds on their bodies. In order to look pitiful and get donations from the people, the people in Wuyou Cave would beat them up again after their wounds healed, leaving them covered in blood.

So doctors must be on call at all times.

The entrances and exits of several canals were in chaos. Most of the people who jumped into the river to escape swam inside, but there were some fearless people who rushed out and were stabbed to death by the soldiers on the boats with harpoons.

There were also some who were fighting in the canal, then fell into the water and were washed out of the canal by the current.

There were more than twenty or thirty bodies on the water surface, and then they were salvaged. The water channel flowing out was gradually turning red.

"Zhiyuan!"

A new commander emerged from the cave, climbed ashore and reported to Zhao Jun: "The Wuyou Cave headquarters has been wiped out!"

"oh?"

Zhao Jun was surprised: "So fast?"

Cao Xiu, who was following nearby, said with a smile, "Master, Wuyou Cave is too close to Caihe River, and we launched a sudden attack. They had no time to escape and were captured."

"Um."

Zhao Jun responded first, then asked the commander, "How is the battle going?"

The commander replied, "We only suffered twenty or thirty casualties. At least a thousand people in Wuyou Cave were killed, and thousands more were captured or escaped. Most of them jumped into the river and ran deep. The terrain down there is too complicated and dark, making it difficult to pursue them."

"It doesn't matter if we didn't catch him. Our main mission is to rescue people."

Zhao Jun nodded and said, "Rescue all the victims as quickly as possible. Organize personnel to clear out their headquarters and branches first. The main focus is to rescue people and seize their supplies, money, and tools. Leave nothing behind and let them continue to hide down there."

"yes!"

The commander went back to continue carrying out the order.

Zhao Jun raised his head and looked at the moon sky.

Being able to wipe out Wuyou Cave this time is already a huge achievement.

There is nothing that can be done for those who escape.

The terrain below is too complicated. It is impossible to clear it all out without hundreds of thousands of troops.

However, as long as their main stronghold is eliminated, all the victims are rescued, and all the supplies are moved away, the remaining people will be short of food and clothing. I believe the people below will not be able to hold on for long. By the time Bianliang floods next spring, this cancer can be completely eradicated.

Chapter 2 may be delayed because I need to watch the game. (End of this chapter)
