Chapter 63 Datong Border Town
When the leading steward saw that the large piles of hay were missing, he became a little panicked. He looked at the few bundles of hay scattered near the guest room and complained in his heart. This little grass could not even cook a roasted chicken, let alone kill a person.

Obviously prepared a few carts of hay, but what about my huge pile of stuff?
Why is it gone?

Just when a group of people were stupid, Qin Rongshuai hid behind the window of the guest room and secretly observed, while also arranging the hay for people outside.

A bundle was thrown outside, so he reached out and put another bundle into his personal space. In the end, he had too much fun, and people outside discovered the flaw.

Several workers looked around tremblingly, feeling like something was spying on them in the dark night. They panicked and gathered around the steward and suggested, "Steward, I feel something is wrong. Let's... let's run."

"What are you panicking about?! Look at you guys who have never seen the world." The manager said sternly, "This thing scares you?"

The subordinates all lowered their heads, not knowing what to say.

The steward seemed very satisfied with the effect, and waved his hand, "Master said, you must kill the Jinyiwei today, otherwise you and I will have nothing to eat."

"Since setting fire is useless." The steward gritted his teeth and pulled out his knife, "It's the same as rushing in and slaughtering."

Just as the steward raised the knife, a bow and arrow suddenly shot out in the darkness, and it accurately pierced his wrist, and the knife fell to the ground.

Then dozens of figures slowly appeared in the surrounding darkness, surrounding the inn.

Qin Rongshuai pushed open the door of the guest room and walked out. Li Yuanfang followed closely behind him.

"Your late night visit makes Qin very happy." Qin Rongshuai looked at the people in the yard with a smile, "It is not common to burn down the inn, assassinate the imperial officials, and murder the imperial envoys. It is not common for people to seek death like this."

The steward's face turned blue and white, gritted his teeth, and suddenly shouted, "Brothers, fight with them..."

Before the words were finished, a black shadow sprang up from behind Qin Rongshuai, slapped the steward's mouth with a palm, and punched the man's stomach with a fist, the steward fell to his knees with a plop, and spat out.

Qin Rongshuai walked over in four directions, looked down at the steward, "Which family are you from? The Chang family? The Cao family? Or the Fan family?"

The steward gritted his teeth while vomiting blood, and refused to make a sound.

Qin Rongshuai nodded, "It doesn't matter if you don't say anything, anyway, I will visit these houses one by one. You go back and bring a letter to your master and count all the property. I will come back to pick it up. Yuan Fang, take off his right hand , as a souvenir."

After Qin Rongshuai finished speaking, he turned around and left, Li Yuanfang cut off the steward's right hand with a single knife, and shouted: "Don't get out yet."

The steward screamed and passed out, and the others were startled for a moment, only to recover when they heard Li Yuanfang's shout, turned around and ran away.

"Wait." Li Yuanfang yelled, and the others were dumbfounded, thinking that Jin Yiwei was about to repent, "Take all of you stewards away."

The others hesitated for a moment, turned around to help the steward, and quickly slipped away.

Li Yuanfang was a little puzzled, "My lord, are you really letting them go like this? Don't send anyone to follow."

"No need." Qin Rongshuai said with a smile, "They know what I'm here for, this won't be the first time, we have plenty of time to play with them slowly."

After resting at the station for the night, Qin Rongshuai set off with his men early in the morning.

As he was approaching the border of Datong Town, he didn't hide his traces any more, he let his subordinates wear flying fish suits with embroidered spring knives on their waists, and walked on the official road swaggeringly.

Less than three miles away from Datong Town, Datong Town's commander-in-chief Ma Cheng'en came to greet him with a group of generals, guerrillas and others. The strange thing was that there were only a group of senior military attachés and not many civilian officials. Only a few followed the team. Those who were selected were all minor officials below the fifth rank.

Qin Rongshuai sneered in his heart. He had expected this situation. After all, he was a royal guard. Staying away from factory guards was the creed of civil servants and officialdom. What's more, when he came to inspect smuggling, his main target was the border town of Datong, so the civil servants seemed to be hiding. Like the god of plague, he was afraid of getting involved in this matter.

Qin Rongshuai jumped off his horse, and hurriedly walked up to Datong General Soldier, "Oh, why did Master Ma come to greet him in person, the officials are panicked."

Ma Chengen smiled, "The imperial envoys of the emperor make inspections, as if His Majesty is here in person, how dare Ma be negligent. Lord Qianhu, did you bring some orders, let's announce them now."

Qin Rongshuai hurriedly nodded in agreement, so Ma Chengen ordered people to set up altar tables, incense burners and other objects, and led the crowd to kneel down to accept the order.

Zhu Changluo read out Zhu Changluo's encouragement to the generals of Datong Border Town, and then issued relevant rewards. Finally, he mentioned in the imperial edict that Qin Rongshuai came to inspect the smuggling.

After the imperial decree was read out, Qin Rongshuai quickly helped Ma Chengen up with his own hands, the two exchanged polite greetings, and the commander-in-chief of Datong invited Qin Rongshuai to the city for a banquet.

Along the way, the two smirked politely at each other, and they seemed to have gotten to know each other a lot.

But Qin Rongshuai still secretly raised his vigilance. Ma Chengen is the nephew of the famous military general Ma Gui. Ma Gui was a famous general with great military exploits in the Wanli Dynasty. , made a military exploit.

At that time, Li Chengliang and Li Chengliang were called Dongli Xima by the world, and they were another family of generals besides the Li family.

Magui died of illness in the 46th year of Wanli, that is, the year before last. His nephew Ma Chengen took over as the commander-in-chief of Datong. The Ma family has guarded Datong for generations.

The two of them and many generals entered Ma Mansion all the way, and saw that the carved beams and painted buildings inside were extraordinarily luxurious. The garden in Ma Chengen Mansion was designed after the gardens of Suzhou in the south of the Yangtze River. It is staggering.

Qin Rongshuai looked at the garden and praised him a lot. After declining several times, he and Ma Chengen sat down on the chairman's chair.

Qin Rongshuai picked up his wine glass, stood up, and said loudly, "Brothers, this time Qin is under the imperial order to inspect border towns for no other reason than to inspect smuggling. I hope you brothers will cooperate more. "

As soon as the voice fell, the whole scene fell silent. Everyone looked strangely and looked at each other, but no one spoke.
