"You are talking nonsense! What does your father's death have to do with me?" Duan Guangrong's chest kept rising and falling, obviously angry at this change.

"It has nothing to do with you? You weren't the one who reported my father's illegal salt trafficking to the government back then?"

"Nature...... Not me. Facing Duan Wenrui's cold gaze, Duan Guangrong looked away with a weak heart.

"The second boss said that my father was taken away by the government, and then he was beheaded. Today I will also watch you be taken away by the official mission, but I want to see if your backer behind the scenes can save you or can't wait to kill you. Duan Wenrui smiled, lowered his arm, put away the blood book, and said loudly in a voice that everyone could hear: "Godfather, please bow to the child!"

"You bastard!" Duan Guangrong's body kept shaking, if it weren't for the fact that he still had a knife in his hand, I'm afraid he would have fallen to the ground.

"Don't worry, I will take good care of your family business and your grandchildren. Duan Wenrui stood up, slowly approached Duan Guangrong, and said in a low voice with a cherished look: "The bitterness I tasted when I was a child must be tasted by your precious grandson - if he didn't die with you." ”

"You!" Duan Guangrong's eyes burst out, and he spat out a mouthful of blood!

"Big boss!" Duan Wenrui shouted loudly, but instead of helping Duan Guangrong, he brushed away the blood stains on the rattan armor, turned his head and knelt down at Zhou Yuntai and the others who were approaching. "My lord, the villain is willing to exchange all the silver stored in the Beixiang Silver Kiln for the life of the big boss, please fulfill it with Lord Zhentai!"

"What a big breath!" Zhou Zhentai looked at him and said coldly: "The country has national laws, the family has family rules, Duan Guangrong committed an unforgivable crime, you don't have to quibble for him anymore!"

"But ......" Duan Wenrui wanted to say something, but was kicked hard by General Li's men, "Where is the silver vault?

"Big boss!" Duan Wenrui was twisted by the soldier's shoulders, turned back with difficulty and said, "Take care!"

Wow! Duan Guangrong spurted out a mouthful of blood again.

Duan Wenrui was twisted away by the officers and soldiers, Duan Guangrong opened his mouth, but finally closed it unwillingly, and when he saw Xiao Zhifu riding on a tall horse wearing a four-grade official uniform, Duan Guangrong's eyes lit up, he stepped forward and raised his hands to meet Xiao Zhifu, but before he could make a sound, he was slammed by the guards around Xiao Zhifu, Duan Guangrong was caught off guard, rolled his eyes and staggered to the ground.

Governor Xiao, who was accompanying Zhou Zhentai, saw him faint and glanced at the guards on the side, who understood and hurriedly took a rope and tied Duan Guangrong up.

"My lord, the first evil is bound, should you immediately send it back to Qingjiang County for trial?"

"Wangzhou is reasonable," Zhou Zhentai said lightly as if he hadn't seen the scene just now: "Let General Li send a group of people to escort Duan Guangrong back to the city first!"

"No!"

The villagers retreated, the first evil was captured, Zhou Zhentai looked at the messy battlefield in front of him, was silent for a long time, and said: "Let's go, go into the town and have a look." ”

When I entered the town, I saw that the doors of the houses were closed, and I could only hear the cries of children and the cries of the wounded, but there was no trace of anyone. Zhou Zhentai reined in his horse, frowned and said to Yu Baihu, who followed closely: "What about the military doctor who accompanied the team? ”

"They're all chaotic people!" Yu Baihu said reluctantly.

"Bastard!" Zhou Zhentai glared at him and reprimanded: "If they hadn't taken the initiative to retreat, it is still unknown whether the army would have successfully broken through now, as long as they lay down their weapons and no longer be enemies of the government, they will naturally still be good citizens of our Jing Dynasty, can we see death and not save it?"

Yu Baihu's face was blue and white for a while, and he hurriedly bowed his head and agreed, and asked someone to find a military doctor.

Zhou Zhentai snorted coldly and said to Xiao Zhifu: "Wangzhou, let's go in and have a look." ”

"Good. ”

The two of them came to the Beixiang Silver Kiln Federation located in the center of Zhendian. Looking at the magnificent Wujin Belt Garden Mansion, Zhou Zhentai looked at the door with his hands behind his back for a long time, and then he smiled and said to Xiao Zhifu: "Wangzhou, this is much more magnificent than your and my residence!"

"A mere villager can be so luxurious! No wonder he can raise more than 100 private soldiers to cause chaos, and if the people's hearts are corrupted like this, I, the prefect, will not be able to escape the blame!"

That's not true. Zhou Zhentai shook his head and said, "Qingjiang is located in the middle of nowhere, who would have thought that these private small silver kilns would be so profitable. ”

"It's the negligence of the lower officials. ”

"Let's go, go inside. ”

Duan Guangrong was arrested, and the Duan family was completely scattered, the servants of the family were scattered, and the furnishings of the mansion were all emptied.

"What are you doing! Stop it for the young master!" a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy stood in the hall and scolded angrily. The soldiers who were busy raiding his house could not care about him, and when they saw him coming up to grab the goods, they kicked the young man to the ground with one kick.

"I'm going to sue my grandfather and let him throw you into the silver kiln to be coolies!"

"Who is this?" Zhou Zhentai frowned, and someone immediately came up to report: "This is Duan Guangrong's own grandson Duan Guang." ”

Zhou Zhentai smiled, "Sure enough, it's a good name, pass on my order, and all Duan Guangrong's direct blood relatives will be arrested and brought to justice!"

"No!"

"Wait!" Zhou Zhentai thought of the young man who was willing to redeem Duan Guangrong's life with all his family wealth, "The one called Duan Wenrui stayed." ”

"No!"

"My lord, that person is Duan Guangrong's cronies and his godson. Governor Xiao frowned and said, "If you let him go, I'm afraid the law will not allow it!"

"Fa Li?" Zhou Zhentai raised his eyebrows, pointed to the boxes of silver found from the Duan family's silver vault, and said with a smile: "Lord Xiao, if there is no Duan Wenrui, can these white flowers of silver be smoothly put into our hands? Even if Duan Wenrui is Duan Guangrong's godson, but he is clear and obedient to the government, if it weren't for him, the villagers would be able to retreat?"

A mouthful of silver boxes was carried from the front of the door, and the soldiers couldn't close their mouths with laughter, Xiao Zhifu looked at the happy people in the courtyard, but his eyes were a little trance...... These silvers ......

"Wangzhou?" Zhou Zhentai looked at him in a daze, so he asked out loud.

"Huh?" Xiao Zhifu came back to his senses,

"What's wrong with you?"

"Xia Guan has nothing to do, probably because it's hot and a little stuffy. ”

"It's okay if there's nothing to do, in fact, I left Duan Wenrui with another layer of consideration," Zhou Zhentai saw that he was saying that he had nothing to do, so he didn't pursue it, he turned his back on his hands, looked at the wide mansion and said slowly: "Duan Guangrong was arrested, Beixiang must be leaderless, how can such a good house be without a master?"

"Lord Zhou, Lord Xiao, it's too late for the lower officials to save the car, and I hope the two adults will forgive their sins!" Just when Governor Xiao's heart was secretly dripping blood, a clear voice came in from the gate.

"Gu Zhixian?" Seeing the radiant Tanhualang, Zhou Zhentai's brows furrowed, "Why don't you guard in the county office, what are you doing in Beixiang? What if the mob makes a riot?"

"Mob?" Gu Qian blinked, "Where did the mob come from?" Seeing Zhou Zhentai glaring at him with good eyes, Gu Dazhi County smiled and patted his ass: "Aren't they all subdued by Zhentai?"

"Bastard!" Zhou Zhentai blew his beard and glared, and rebuked mercilessly: "Beixiang is flat, and Nanxiang is still there! If you don't squat in the county seat and leave the people all over the city to run to Beixiang, this official will definitely punish you for dereliction of duty!"

"Lord Zhentai is angry, the lower officials are not people who neglect their duties, and there are good things to report to Lord Zhentai!"

Seeing Gu Qian's nodding appearance, Zhou Zhentai's anger calmed down a little, snorted from his nose, and said, "What's a good thing?"

Yu Sanli, the third master of Nanxiang, has led people to ask the officials to surrender, and he expressed his willingness to lead the villagers of Nanxiang to accept the imperial court's recruitment, and is willing to open the Nanxiang silver kiln for officers and soldiers to search. ”

"Search?" Zhou Zhentai smiled coldly and said, "He is sincere." ”

"Lord Zhentai?" Gu Qian looked at Zhou Yuntai's face, and said stubbornly: "It's a good thing that Nanxiang is willing to be recruited, right?"

"Naturally it's a good thing!" Zhou Zhentai waved his hand and said: "Count this kid as acquaintances, since he is accepting the imperial court's surrender, then let him live, as long as he leads the crowd to kowtow to me in front of the people of Qingjiang County in front of the people of the county and confess his guilt, the official will naturally spare him from death." ”

"This ......" Gu Qian was a little embarrassed, because he had already promised Yu Sanli to accept surrender in Nanxiang, if the location was changed to the gate of the county seat, I was afraid that Yu Sanli would not be able to get by on face.

"What, what's the problem?"

"No, no," Gu Qian's head shook like a rattle, and he said in a stacked voice: "Xiaguan will arrange it." ”

Under Zhou Zhentai's meaningful gaze, Gu Qian walked backwards out of the gate of the Beixiang Federation, and before he had gone far, he saw a fast horse galloping from the street, his heart moved, and he immediately paused and stuck to the side of the wall.

Sure enough, a herald with a small flag on his back tumbled down from the horse, shouting the word "Bao" and hurried into the door of the mansion.

Zhou Zhentai saw Xiaoqi's panicked appearance, and said unhappily: "What's the matter?"

"Report!" Xiao Qi knelt on one knee, with an indisputable panic in his voice, "Yu, report to Lord Zhentai, the criminal Duan Guangrong was on the way back to the city, and there was an accident!"

Zhou Zhentai's heart sank, his face was shut, and he shouted: "Say!"

"He accidentally fell off a cliff!"
