Qi Mu returned to the mansion and came directly to the study room. He sat on the chair with a gloomy face, closed his eyes and pondered for a long time, and said slowly: "Give me instructions and block the post road!"

Fan Lei, who had been standing beside him, was startled and said in a lost voice: "Clog the post road? Brother, 90% of our business is pointing at it. Block the post road, this... Isn't this killing one thousand enemies and destroying oneself by 800?"

Qi Mu smiled sinisterly and said, "Isn't it still two hundred left? That mad dog is like a dog skin plaster that cannot be torn off or can't be taken away. Only by using this method can he be removed, otherwise he will continue to bite people. As long as he falls, Huxian will still be my world. At that time, we will reopen the post road and restore glory will only happen in a while!"

Qi Mu was injured on both cheeks. He said this very slowly and his voice was a little vague, but his meaning was expressed very clearly. Fan Lei thought for a moment and gritted his teeth and said, "I have to do this. I will continue to give orders!" Qi Mu nodded, closed his eyes and continued to close his eyes to rest, while Fan Lei hurriedly walked out.

There are two main external channels in Guizhou, one that runs through the north and south, and the other runs through the east and west. They were built by Mrs. Shexiang after the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Shexiang was an Yi person, whose Yi name was Shezi. It was originally the daughter of a great chieftain of the Yi people in southern Sichuan. At the age of fourteen, she married Longzan and Aicui, the great chieftain of the Yi people in Guizhou.

A few years later, after Aicui died, his son was young, and Madam Shexiang was regent. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang won the world. Madam Shexiang judged the situation and surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. Shexiang cooperated with the Ming army to encircle and suppress the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty, tribute horses to the Ming Dynasty, presented grain, and channels, and made great contributions to the Ming army's occupation of Guizhou and march into Yunnan.

But her greatest achievement that benefited future generations was to preside over the construction of two major post roads in Guizhou. At that time, Guizhou was in a prehistoric country with grass and grass intestines, and the snow-covered cloud forests and Jingzhi and Yalai could not allow large groups of people and materials to pass through countless tribal settlements. If it weren't for the identity of Mrs. Shexiang, it would be extremely difficult to get things done if she changed her to someone else to conquer natural dangers, but also to overcome countless man-made problems.

Under the leadership of Mrs. Shexiang, two major post roads in Guizhou were opened. From then on, they became a major channel in the southwest, traveling west to east, and traveling south to north, and then they must pass Guizhou. This also became a major transportation route for the Ming Dynasty to the southern countries. The smooth flow of government orders, military deterrence, and economic prosperity are all inseparable from it.

Now that Qi Mu cut off a piece of it, it would be equivalent to strangling this important transportation road that runs through the north and south, and the consequences are serious. This situation will only last for half a month and will alarm the court. Without waiting for the court to be alarmed, the local officials and chieftains in Guizhou will not be able to sit still. It is natural to take down a small history of the clan.

Qi Mu naturally knew the serious consequences of this matter, but he had been in the post road transportation for many years. If he wanted to do damage, he had endless means. He was familiar with this kind of thing.

The big merchants who traveled from south to north naturally had to complain. The transmission of the imperial post road was interrupted, the government orders were not smooth, and the transit officials were stagnant. A large number of military supplies could not be transported, so they naturally had to hold Huxian accountable. Don’t talk about a small history of the scriptures, even the seventh-rank official seal would be taken down together.

With Qi Mu's order, the post road controlled by him began to change suddenly. The next day, news came from the post road that several bandits appeared on several post roads with deep forests and dense cliffs and narrow roads, and several caravans transported by Qi's family were wiped out.

These places have high mountains and dense forests and narrow roads, so the brigade of officers and soldiers cannot operate at all. It is useless for small groups of officers and soldiers to go there. Therefore, the news spread and people were suddenly panicked.

Many merchants who were preparing to go south through Huxian temporarily stayed in the county town to watch the scenery, but delaying their goods for one day would cause great losses, especially those who needed to keep the goods fresh and could not be delayed for too long. They were even more anxious like ants on a hot pan. In a rage, they naturally had to put pressure on Hua Magistrate.

At this time, news came again. Because of heavy rains for several days, a section of Yidao Cliff Road suddenly collapsed. Repairing this section of road requires a lot of labor and took a long time. The whole Huxian County was even more resentful when it heard the news.

Although these things seem to have nothing to do with Ye Xiaotian, those who are familiar with Qi Mu's methods and those who are familiar with the two of them can easily associate these two things. They both know: "Uncle Qi is giving Aidianshi a favor."

At this time, not only did the passing merchants, court postmen, and passers-by put pressure on Hua County, but even the gentry and even a large number of people in the county were very dissatisfied. They were not only dissatisfied with Hua County's inaction, but also began to feel dissatisfied with Ye Xiaotian. These people were either doing business or making a living by transportation. Once the post road was cut off, they would cut off their way.

Although many of them are usually oppressed by Qi Mu, and although they are exploited by Qi Mu at all times, when Ye Xiaotian stood up to fight with Qi Mu, they also cheered and cheered for it, but once it affected their interests, they completely forgot the pain that Qi Mu once exerted on them.

They only know that they can't make money and eat now because Ye Xiaotian and Mr. Qi were against each other. Of course, not all of these people, but there are many people who are taking a sharp turn for the situation and are becoming increasingly unfavorable to Ye Xiaotian.

Qi Mu listened to the news feedback from his subordinates and sneered repeatedly. He had already seen through the poor people, some idiots who remembered eating but not beating! He was hoping that soon the Crazy Dianshi would be betrayal and become a lonely man. By then...

Qi Mu smiled and pushed open the window. Outside the window, there were clouds of lead, and a heavy rain was coming.

Qi Mu suddenly tore open his robe, revealing a bunch of hair on his chest, looking up at the sky, as if roaring silently.

In the prison, Ye Xiaotian and Hua Yunfei were sitting opposite each other, with a food box in the middle, which contained a few side dishes for wine, and a small jar of wine next to it.

The prison cell was very quiet. Those big men who snatched their feet had been released by Ye Xiaotian. The decisive battle was about to be upset. The purpose of motivating morale was achieved. Why bother locking up those people here to waste food? Huxian's finances are extremely tense.

There are only three prisoners in the entire prison. In the cell at the end of the prison, Meng County Magistrate, Hua Yunfei is locked in the outermost room, and Mao Wenzhi is locked in the cell next door.

Mao Wenzhi was still naked, not sure if he was a little exposed. However, he had already received a greeting from Su Xuntian in advance, and knew that the smiling young man next door was Dianshi of the county, so he did not dare to do anything, which made him sit or stand or not. It was so uncomfortable.

Ye Xiaotian filled a glass of wine for Hua Yunfei. Hua Yunfei frowned slightly and said, "Brother, I don't know how to drink."

Ye Xiaotian smiled and said, "Try it. You are still young now, but one day you will grow up. How can men not know the taste of wine? You have done anything like killing people, and are you still afraid of drinking?"

Hua Yunfei didn't say anything else, and took the glass to drink it happily. The spicy wine entered his throat, causing him to cough and tears to choke.

Ye Xiaotian looked at his flushed face. He picked up the cup and took a sip, and said leisurely: "At the beginning, you have to drink this thing slowly. When you think it tastes like water, it will not be too late to drink it in large gulps."

Hua Yunfei closed his mouth tightly, and waited for the spicy taste to fade away. A flame seemed to rise from his chest and abdomen, making his eyes turn red: "It's not delicious at all, I won't drink it."

Ye Xiaotian smiled and said, "Okay! Then tell me, why do you want to kill Qi Mu?"

Hua Yunfei was silent and didn't say anything, but his eyes became redder and redder. After a while, two lines of tears suddenly burst into tears.

Ye Xiaotian did not speak. Instead, he waited patiently. After waiting for a long time, Hua Yunfei finally started to speak, word by word, he spoke very slowly, lightly, and in detail. Speaking of the terrible scene, it was like repeating someone else’s story.

Ye Xiaotian understood very well how deep hatred he had to be in his heart so that he could speak it out in such a calm and even cold tone. When Hua Yunfei finished telling the story, Ye Xiaotian said: "Why are you looking for personal grudges? Why don't you avenge the official?"

Hua Yunfei pursed his lips, and a hint of helpless sadness and ridicule appeared in his eyes. Report to the officials? Just those officials in Huxian County are either made of clay-shaped wooden sculptures, or corrupt officials colluded with powerful people. Is it useful to sue the officials? I am afraid that the sheep may enter the tiger's mouth.

Ye Xiaotian seemed to be unable to understand his eyes and asked seriously: "Why don't you report to the official?"

Hua Yunfei frowned. Although he hid from all over the years and rarely contacted people, he had heard about some of the things between Ye Xiaotian and Qi Mu. When he was caught that day, he even saw the tension between Ye Xiaotian and Qi Mu with his own eyes. Doesn’t Ye Xiaotian understand that Qi Mu has a force to cover the sky in Hu County?

Hua Yunfei wanted to explain, but before he could speak, Ye Xiaotian said, "You want to report to the official! Report it immediately! I will ask someone to ask you to go out and report to the official in the lobby. Remember, I am an official! I am a little arrogant, and I am a historian of the official!"

Hua Yunfei looked at him in shock. After a moment, he seemed to understand. His eyes were shining and he said excitedly: "Brother,... can you really bring him to justice?"

Ye Xiaotian smiled but did not answer, got up and walked out, saying, "It was on the mountain that day, and it was unfair to come but not go. I will also give you a fish."

Hua Yunfei was stunned at first, and then suddenly came over. The elder brother was referring to the silenced rice. He said with a sigh: "Okay! When the day of the silenced rice, I will definitely have a good drink and eat the fish, but the one I hope to use for the wine is the head of the old thief Qi!"

Ye Xiaotian walked out, and the prison door was locked behind him with a "slam". Ye Xiaotian looked back and smiled, "When the time comes, I will give you a golden carp!"

"Golden Carp?"

Hua Yunfei stared blankly at Ye Xiaotian's back, but he didn't understand anymore. Why did this big brother always speak incredible?

He sat in the next cell pretending to behave, as if a gorilla-like Mao Wenzhi was relieved when he saw Ye Xiaotian leaving. He rushed to the fence and smiled at Hua Yunfei: "I said, big brother, why are you so stupid! Once the golden carp is disconnected, he will shake his head and waving his tail and never reply. Do you know what this is? The golden carp, do you know what it means?"

Poor Hua Yunfei didn't know a big word, so he didn't understand what the sentence meant. He shook his head blankly and asked in confusion: "Made of gold? Can't be eaten?"
