With the knife in hand, Duan Guangrong and his grandson's skulls rolled to the side.

The shout just now was not made by Duan Guangrong, but his grandson spoke out angrily, but he shouted loudly, but the onlookers did not understand the meaning of this sentence. Despicable villain? Who are you talking about? Is it Governor Xiao's Mansion? But how could such a gentle and elegant bearded man be the villain in the mouth of Little Master Duan? Besides, they don't know each other at all, right?

Some people also suggested that Duan Guangrong's expression was obviously excited the moment he saw Xiao Zhifu, was there something hidden in it that no one knew? However, it was not strange for the dying person to make some strange moves, and some people pointed out that this despicable villain might be someone else.

The words "despicable villain" left by Duan's ancestors and grandchildren once again set off an upsurge of discussion among the people of Qingjiang, from the Xiao prefect's mansion to the villagers of Beixiang, every person who can be involved in the relationship was involved, and for a time the teahouse in Qingjiang City was overcrowded, and even the storyteller asked someone to write words overnight, intending to broadcast this paragraph for more than ten or twenty years.

The Duan family fell, and the other two troublemaker leaders, Zhou Dagui and Duan Chenglong, were imprisoned in the prison of Xinghua Mansion, ready to be beheaded after the autumn.

It can be said that now only Duan Wenrui and Yu Sanli are left in the heads of Beixiang Yinyao and Nanxiang Yinyao, as for the titular second master Yao Xiwang, after Yu Sanli searched for his correspondence with Duan Guangrong, this benevolent brother said that he was not sick and completely became a shrinking turtle.

Now, Qingjiang County Yazhong has a banquet, and Duan Wenrui and Yu Sanli have become guests.

"Everyone has worked hard! I would like to give you a drink!" Zhou Zhentai stood up and said loudly to the officials present.

"Xie Zhentai!" the officials raised their glasses in unison and drank them all.

"Now that the Qingjiang Rebellion has been quelled, you are all heroes of the rebellion, and this official will write your merits into the fold and ask for credit for you!"

"Thank you, Lord Zhentai!" This sentence is more welcoming than the words of toasting, and the officials looked at Zhou Zhentai with gratitude, and the joy on their faces could not be stopped.

After saying some words of encouragement, Zhou Zhentai sat down, blocking a few toasting officials, Zhou Zhentai helplessly said to Xiao Zhifu: "Okay, Wangzhou, let's open a small table to talk inside, so as not to make them uncomfortable." ”

"Good. Governor Xiao nodded with a smile, not disturbed by the bad "despicable villain" at noon.

Seeing that the two adults wanted to hide quietly, Gu Qian hurriedly called someone to go to the kitchen to order a few hot dishes, scalded the soju, and sent it to the two adults in a hurry. "Two adults use it slowly. Wipe the tables and chairs, and deliver delicious food and drinks, Gu Qian nodded and was about to leave.

"Gu Zhixian stayed. ”

Gu Qian turned around and found that it was Zhou Zhentai calling him, he paused, and said inexplicably: "Lord Zhentai called me?"

"Come and sit. ”

"The lower officials don't dare. "It's so painful to sit in half of the chair, it's better to stand!

"Let you sit down!"

"Yes. Gu Qian sat down with a bitter face.

"What do you think about the matter of the Beixiang Silver Kiln?"

As soon as he sat down, he was blown up by Zhou Zhentai with thunder, and Gu Qian blinked: "What do you think?"

This appearance of pretending to be crazy and stupid made Zhou Zhentai angry, "Now that Duan Guangrong is dead, and the dragons of the Beixiang Silver Kiln are leaderless, what do you think?"

"Isn't Duan Wenrui still there?"

"Being pointed at and scolded by the former boss, I'm afraid Duan Wenrui won't be able to go back. As if he didn't see Governor Xiao's discomfort, Zhou Zhentai buttoned the hat of the despicable villain to Duan Wenrui's head.

"What can I do then?" Gu Qian made a look of embarrassment, "The lower officials are only shallow in their studies, and I really don't know how to solve this matter!"

Both of them were embarrassed, and the Xiao Governor's Mansion on the side looked left and right, and finally laughed softly: "Why bother to make things difficult about the silver kiln, if that section of Wenrui refuses to take over, it is better to take it back to the government!"

"Wangzhou's words are reasonable!" Zhou Zhentai seemed to be awakened by a word, and looked at Xiao Zhifu approvingly: "If you don't mention it, the old man has forgotten this stubble! Beixiang is now leaderless, and it is very appropriate for the government to take over, as for Nanxiang, the silver veins are barren and can't produce much silver in a year, so it's better to let them fend for themselves." ”

"What Lord Zhentai said is very true. Governor Xiao echoed with a smile.

"That being the case, Gu Zhixian called Duan Wenrui and Yu Sanli to explain the matter as soon as possible, so that the old man could go home as soon as possible. ”

"Lord Zhentai finally came to Qingjiang, so let's stay a few more days before leaving. ”

"Don't say this useless in front of the old man, quickly go and call Duan Wenrui and Yu Sanli. ”

"Yes. ”

Hearing the summons of Lord Zhentai, Duan Wenrui and Yu Sanli soon arrived.

"Meet Lord Shodai. The two men entered the house and bowed their heads.

"Excuse me, excuse me. Zhou Zhentai showed a kind smile and raised his hand to let the two of them get up.

Duan Wenrui and Yu Sanli glanced at each other, and stood up together, "I don't know what is the important matter for Lord Zhentai to call the little ones to come?"

"You sit down," Zhou Zhentai ordered someone to move two pestles over, and ordered the two to sit, and then asked: "This official wants to ask you what your plans are for the silver kiln?"

"This ......" Duan Wenrui doesn't care, anyway, the mine mouth in Beixiang has been blown up, but Yu Sanli is different, the premise of his cooperation with Gu Qian is that Gu Qian can help him keep the mining rights in Nanxiang, so his eyes rolled around, and finally fell on Gu Qian.

"Yu Sanli, if you have something to say, just say it. Gu Qian said to Yu Sanli with a smile.

Seeing Gu Qian's determined expression, Yu Sanli also had confidence, he knelt down in front of Zhou Zhentai again, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Zhentai Mingjian, although I have silver veins in Nanxiang, but the low yield is only enough for the villagers to subsidize their families, not to mention that the land in Nanxiang is barren and the grain output is also low, this silver kiln is the foundation of the life of the people of Nanxiang, I hope that Lord Zhentai will be gracious and allow the people of Nanxiang to continue to open the kiln!"

"According to what you say, it seems that the old man does not allow you to open the kiln to cut off your way of life?"

"The grass people don't dare!" Yu Sanli knelt on the ground, and pleaded in a sad voice: "The grass people have no intention of threatening the adults, it is really the people of Nanxiang who are living in hardship, and the Lord Wangtai will have mercy!"

"Alas, since the old man has accepted your surrender, he naturally doesn't want to be a wicked person, otherwise wouldn't he be scolded by thousands of people in Nanxiang poking his backbone in the back?" Zhou Zhentai sighed and said: "The people of Nanxiang understand the overall situation, and in recognition of their righteousness, this official allows you to continue to retain the mining rights of the silver kiln!"

"Lord Xie Zhentai!" Yu Sanli knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"Alright, okay, you get up first. Zhou Zhentai gave Gu Qian a look, and Gu Qian hurriedly pulled Yu Sanli up.

After solving the problem of Nanxiang, the next thing to talk about is Beixiang. Zhou Zhentai looked Duan Wenrui up and down a few times, and saw that Duan Wenrui was sweating on his forehead, and his heart was worried.

"Duan Wenrui, what are your plans for Beixiang?"

"The grass people don't have an idea, but they rely on the orders of Lord Zhentai. ”

"Oh?" Zhou Zhentai raised his eyebrows and said rarely: "You framed Duan Guangrong and killed his entire family, and in the end you actually said that you had no idea about Beixiang?"

Duan Wenrui was startled, fell to his knees with a thud, and shouted injustice: "Why did Lord Zhentai say this? Duan Guangrong is the godfather of the grass people, if it were not for the sake of the country's righteousness, how could the grass people put themselves in a place of unfilial piety! The grass people swear here, if they have the slightest thought of the Beixiang Silver Kiln, the sky will be thundered!"

Zhou Zhentai and Xiao Zhifu glanced at each other, and saw the affirmation in each other's eyes, it seems that Xiao Zhifu has passed this level. He pondered for a moment and said to Duan Wenrui: "No matter what, you have merit for quelling the rebellion in Beixiang, and it will not be fair to you if your merits are erased. ”

"The grass people don't care. ”

"That's it, Qingjiang County has a lack of a classic history, I see that you are literate and talented, so it's better to take this shortage!"

"The person who Lord Zhentai likes is naturally good. Governor Xiao bowed his head and said: "When the official returns to the office, I will complete the formalities for him." ”

"Well, the court will not treat the meritorious people badly. Zhou Zhentai appreciated: "With the words of Wangzhou, the old man is relieved." ”

Duan Wenrui became an official inexplicably, and Yu Sanli also got his wish, and couldn't help but smile, and frequently expressed his gratitude to Zhou Zhentai and Xiao Zhifu.

"Okay, let's not talk about this, since the two masters are present, let's solve the matter of the Beixiang silver kiln by the way! I heard that Nanxiang and Beixiang have repeatedly quarreled over the boundary of the silver kiln, and this time the old man personally drew the boundary, and since then the official kiln and the private kiln have been completely separated. ”

"What Lord Zhantai said is very true. "Governor Xiao is also very happy in his heart, although Duan Guangrong is dead, but seeing that the Beixiang Silver Kiln is about to be returned to the government, the silver of the white flowers can't run away now!

Just as he was proud, a small flag rushed into the courtyard in a breathless manner, and when he saw Zhou Zhentai and Xiao Zhifu, he knelt down on one knee and reported loudly: "Report! The Beixiang Silver Kiln has been bombed! The entire Silver Mountain has collapsed!"

"What!" Zhou Zhentai rose in response, his face full of anger.

Governor Xiao couldn't sit still, he stared straight at Xiao Qi who was kneeling on the ground, and the blood on his whole face faded cleanly.

"What the hell is going on?!" Zhou Zhentai roared.

"It's all the thief Duan Guangrong, he hid the explosives on the mountain before he was caught, once he was killed by the government, the accomplices guarding the mountain blew up the silver kiln, and now there is no work for a few years, and the original mine cannot be dug up. ”

After Xiaoqi finished speaking, he buried his head deadly, for fear of being punished by the officials.

"Where did he get so many explosives?!" Xiao Zhifu bit the tip of his tongue and tried his best to keep his senses.

"The villain doesn't know!"

"Check!"

"Yes!"

"Master, it's been the fourth watch, you can sleep for a while. The old family brought hot soup to Governor Xiao's mansion, and seeing that his eyes were wide open without a trace of sleepiness, he couldn't help but persuade patiently.

"Put it there, you go to sleep first. ”

"Master, alas...... "The old man doesn't sleep, where can the old family sleep, he sat on the foot pedal in front of the bed and pressed his feet for Xiao Yuqing, and said: "The master has something to worry about, you might as well talk to the old slave." ”

"You don't understand it. Xiao Yuqing leaned on the head of the bed, frowned and thought slowly, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was something strange about this matter, why was everything so coincidental? Coincidentally bad for his good things every time? Is it a coincidence or artificial? Thinking of Zhou Zhentai's facial paralysis and dislike, thinking of Gu Qian's song to welcome, thinking of Duan Wenrui, who was inexplicably a pawn tonight, every case, it seems to be illogical, but there is collusion everywhere.

Governor Xiao felt that his head was too big, he didn't know who was behind this matter, but it was true that his abacus had all failed.

"It's a pity that Master Zhang didn't come this time. Xiao Zhifu looked at the gradually brightening sky and sighed slightly, "Otherwise, there will always be one more way." ”

"Master Zhang went to the provincial capital, this is still the master's order. ”

Speaking of the provincial capital, Governor Xiao's eyes lit up, and he lifted the quilt on the ground, startling the old family.

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

"Haha, I almost forgot. Governor Xiao smiled proudly, how could he forget that person, it was a big killer!
