Han Xiu doesn't know Zhao Xue, but Zhao Xue knows Han Xiu.
Zhao Xue did not hide it, "No problem, I'm the leader of the Tiger Gang, Zhao Xue."
Han Xiu was horrified. "Are you Zhao Xue from the Tiger Gang?" He drew his knife. "You were the one who killed the Wang family from Zhangshan County."
Zhao Xueyi raised his foot and kicked Han Xiu's knife to the ground. "Yes, I killed him. Don't hold the knife against me. At least I can admit it. Unlike you, the thousand city guards are all cowards."
Han Xiu stepped forward and asked, "Were you the one who robbed the Ou family last night? Are there any other...?"
"You don't even dare to ask, what a coward! I did it, but Lord Liao is the mastermind."
Han Xiu picked up the knife from the ground and pointed it at Zhao Xue again, "How could you admit it so readily?"
Zhao Xue snorted contemptuously, "Get lost!"
Mr. Feng heard the servant's report and hurried over. "What are you doing? Master Han, this is Master Liao's friend."
"Mr. Feng, his name is Zhao Xue, the leader of the Tiger Gang. He robbed the Wang family in Zhangshan County and the Ou family in Anzhou. He has already admitted to doing it and even said that Lord Liao was the mastermind."
Mr. Feng suppressed his anger and said, "Don't listen to his nonsense. He just loves to joke around."
Han Xiu sneered, "I know he's serious. When I came back last night, the Anzhou city gate was wide open. Someone had opened it from the inside. Mr. Feng, how could Lord Liao do such a thing?"
Zhao Xue laughed a few times and said, "Mr. Feng, there's no need to hide it. You see, Lord Han already knew it."
Mr. Feng said to Han Xiu, "Go back first. The master will give you an explanation."
Han Xiu didn't want to explain anything and left in a daze.
Mr. Feng's anger erupted instantly. "Zhao Xue, don't be so arrogant. Why did you provoke Han Xiu?"
"I'm sorry, it was a slip of the tongue. But, Mr. Feng, what should Han Xiu do?"
"You want to kill Han Xiu?"
Zhao Xue had his eye on Han Xiu's position. Bingcaoyuan was a sixth-rank official, a lowly position but one with real power. If he became Bingcaoyuan, he would officially be in charge of a thousand city defense troops.
He then seized Qingping Mountain, raised a group of brothers there, and, like Li Hu, collected tolls from merchants. Thus, he gained both money and power.
Therefore, Han Xiu had to make room for him. "Why would I kill him? However, the bandits from Qingping Mountain plundered the Ou family. Shouldn't Lord Liao have the city defense troops continue to siege Qingping Mountain?"
Mr. Feng was leaving tonight, and he didn't want to cause any more trouble. "Qingping Mountain isn't that easy to siege. Let's talk about it later."
"That's not difficult. I'll go with my brothers."
Mr. Feng thought for a moment, this is just the right time to get rid of Zhao Xuezhi. "Okay then, you guys go and launch a surprise attack at night."
Zhao Xue waved his hand. "Why should we distinguish between day and night when the city defense army is suppressing the bandits? I will arrange the personnel now and we can set off in the afternoon."
The boat Mr. Feng had arranged wouldn't arrive until that evening. He hesitated for a moment, fearing Zhao Xue would become suspicious, so he agreed. "Okay, I'll go find the master and have him give Han Xiu the order."
The mountains are flat and everyone is still doing what they are supposed to do step by step without any confusion.
Li Hu heard the news last night and had someone carry him to find Kang Yueran.
He was very dissatisfied with Kang Yueran's reform of Qingping Mountain, and he was even more dissatisfied when he heard everyone defending Kang Yueran.
He refused to enter Kang Yueran's yard and just sat at the door and shouted loudly, "It's already this late, why don't you quickly lead the men to train?
You actually still have the mind to let people continue to make snacks and dried meat, Kang Yueran, so many people in my Qingping Village are not your slaves."
Kang Yueran walked to the door and replied bluntly, "This is Qingping Manor. Qingping Manor is a place for business. What are you practicing for? Are you planning a rebellion?"
"Who told you to rebel? Let me ask you, if the bandits attack the stronghold, how will you respond?"
Kang Yueran raised an eyebrow and said, "The most valuable thing on Qingping Mountain is the treasure of the Li family. If there are thieves who come to attack the mountain, I will hand you over. I will use you to exchange for the safety of my brothers and fulfill your loyalty to them."
Li Hu was so angry that he stretched his head and said, "If you hand me over, be careful that my brother will come after you."
"Settling scores? Don't think I don't know what you're up to. At worst, I'll 'accidentally' have you kidnapped by the Tiger Gang. I just don't know how many more tricks Master Li has in store for us to pick on!"
The person next to him said loudly, "I will testify for the boss when the time comes. It was the Tiger Gang that kidnapped the boss, Li. The boss tried his best but couldn't get him back."
"Yes! I am also willing to testify for the Great Boss. The Great Boss Li was abducted."
Li Hu's eyes turned red with anger, "You are planning a rebellion!"
Kang Yueran said, "Li Hu, you seem to have forgotten that I am now the head of Qingping Village! Calling you Headmaster Li is a sign of respect for you."
She waved her hand and said, "Carry Mr. Li back home and take good care of him. Don't go out too often unless necessary. What if he catches a cold?"
The two younger brothers were very obedient. They picked up Li Hu and left without paying any attention to Li Hu's repeated yelling and cursing.
Xu Jiushi sighed helplessly. He didn't understand why the boss whom he had admired for many years had become like this?
Mountain strongholds and bandits are prone to people's bad assumptions. If they were to actually practice, although people wouldn't think they were planning a rebellion, they would certainly be afraid that they would rob people. The goodwill they had just built up in the hearts of the people would be completely gone.
Just as Li Hu was appeased, Hu Dacheng came to find Kang Yueran with someone.
Without waiting for Kang Yueran to ask, the man wiped the sweat from his forehead and said anxiously, "Hello, Master Kang. I am the guard of the He family. Our master asked me to deliver a message to you."
