Under the cover of night,
They sneaked into Maojiazhuang.
"This is the estate that Mao Taigong acquired,"
The Liangshan scout pointed to the large house in front of him and said,
"According to our investigation,"
“From Zhuangzi’s back garden, you can climb over directly into it.”
"go!"
Shi Xiu greeted him.
Leading his spies,
Following the wall of the manor,
We arrived at the back garden.
"The two of them, Jie Zhen and Jie Bao, caught a large tiger while hunting,"
The scout said,
"They broke into the village through this fence."
"Um,"
Shi Xiu nodded.
With nimble hands and feet, he climbed over the fence.
They climbed over into Zhuangzi's back garden.
The other Liangshan spies followed closely behind.
After everyone came in,
He then cautiously made his way towards the courtyard of the manor.
This Mao Taigong Village isn't that big.
Not small,
The village, from top to bottom,
There are also two or three hundred people living there.
Many of these tenants usually...
They were even used as a militia by Mao Taigong for training.
With only Shi Xiu's small group of people,
If we launch a direct attack on Mao Taigong Village,
Obviously it is impossible.
So they took advantage of the darkness,
Infiltrate Zhuangzi,
To catch the thief, first catch the king.
As long as we win over Mao Taigong and his son...
There's no need to worry about this estate!
The group made their way from the back garden of the manor to the side of the backyard.
quickly,
Shi Xiu and the others then noticed the brightly lit backyard.
There were also occasional voices.
Sure enough there is a problem!
Shi Xiu nodded to himself.
He led his scouts forward.
Soon we saw that
In the backyard of Mr. Mao's house
There are more than a dozen farmers.
He was digging something with a hoe.
They kept bringing in large baskets of soil.
They were carried out of the pit in the middle of the yard.
Then one would know what lies below.
It's clear that a large area has already been excavated.
And around this courtyard,
Hundreds of loads of salt
They were just piled up and placed against the wall.
Upon seeing this coarse salt,
In Shi Xiu's eyes,
The atmosphere immediately turned gloomy.
Although Dengzhou used to produce salt,
However, the output was not large.
Until Liangshan was in Dengzhou,
Salt Village was established.
After starting to produce salt on the beach using the sun-drying method,
That's when the production of coarse salt in Dengzhou suddenly increased!
Families like Mao Taigong's, who normally had no connection whatsoever with the salt trade,
Now there's suddenly so much coarse salt in the yard.
Needless to say
It must be coarse salt from Liangshan Salt Village!
Shi Xiude's gaze swept around the courtyard.
It was soon discovered that,
There was only one young man in the courtyard supervising the tenants as they worked.
"That is Mao Taigong's son, Mao Zhongyi,"
The scout from Dengzhou whispered...
Chapter 942 As expected, they are father and son
"Send out a team,"
Shi Xiu said in a low voice,
"Go and subdue that old man Mao!"
"Yes!"
Six or seven men bowed respectfully.
They quietly made their way to the other courtyards of Grandpa Mao's house.
After Shi Xiu and the others left,
Immediately take the rest of the men...
He pounced on Mao Zhongyi, who was dozing off in a recliner in the courtyard!
There were servants in the courtyard.
Obviously, they didn't expect someone to suddenly appear.
For a while,
They all froze on the spot!
And taking advantage of this little bit of time,
Shi Xiu had already rushed to Mao Zhongyi's side.
The long sword in his hand
It was handed directly to Mao Zhongyi's neck!
These past few nights, Mao Zhongyi...
He had been supervising the servants as they dug a cellar in the yard.
This will make it easier to hide the coarse salt we got from Liangshan Salt Village!
During the day, they also had to lead men out to search for Xie Bao.
I was incredibly sleepy!
But unexpectedly that night,
While he was sleeping soundly,
He suddenly felt a chill on his neck.
Mao Zhongyi thought it was just a cool night breeze.
I couldn't help but shrink back.
But unexpectedly,
The neck slid directly across the blade.
A bloody gash appeared immediately.
Mao Zhongyi was also immediately awakened.
"What happened...?"
He was halfway through his sentence when
Only then did Mao Zhongyi get a clear look at the situation in the courtyard.
Quickly and wisely, raise your hand.
A fawning smile appeared on his face.
"Hero, spare your life!"
"We can talk things over! We can talk things over!"
"discuss?"
Shi Xiu chuckled.
Do you know who we are?
Mao Zhongyi shook his head subconsciously.
"hehe,"
Shi Xiu sneered.
Then he uttered two words.
"Liangshan!"
"Well....."
