On this day, Zuo Guozhu specially brought the edict of rehabilitation issued by the emperor and the edict posthumously crowning Zuo Guangdou as the crown prince, and cried and worshiped in front of Zuo Guangdouling.

Everyone in the Restoration Party looked solemn and did not smile.

Ruan Dacheng, as an elder and Zuo Guangdou's best friend, stood in front of Zuo Guangdou Ling and said to everyone: "Now that Brother Zuo has also recovered his reputation, and all the eunuchs have been killed, we, as the deceased, should inherit the will of the martyrs, and from now on, we will never allow the situation of official eunuchs and ministers to fight again." ”

Wang Zhizheng nodded and said, "What the third uncle has taught is that from now on, there will be no more past events of the Apocalypse Dynasty. ”

Out of the Zuo family temple, everyone held an oil-paper umbrella, and they didn't have much to say, after all, they had just cried and sacrificed, and they hadn't come out of the heavy atmosphere.

At this time, Shen Shaoxian, the magistrate of Tongcheng, took the lead in breaking the silence: "Master Hou, you came to Tongcheng, and it happened that Xiaguan encountered some thorny problems, and I want you to help me." ”

Wang Zhizheng looked at Shen Shaoxian: "Oh? What's the difficulty, Shaoxian? ”

Shen Shaoxian spread his hands and smiled bitterly: "Hou Ye, Beishan on the outskirts of Tongcheng, the mountain is not high, a year ago, there was a group of more than 300 bandits in this mountain grass, I led the county soldiers to the mountain several times to encircle and suppress, but they were not able to exterminate, on the contrary, they lost their troops and lost their generals, and the prefect of Anqing gave me a death order, if I can't exterminate this bandit, I will be impeached." ”

When Wang Zhizheng heard this, he stopped and asked, "How many times have you attacked?" ”

Shen Shaoxian sighed and said, "Three times." During the first attack on the mountain, we were ambushed in a gorge in the north mountain, and more than 80 of our men were killed and wounded. ”

Wang Zhizheng then asked, "What is the name of the leader?" ”

Shen Shao blurted out first: "The head of the thief is called Wang Congda, known as the 'old fox'!." ”

Wang Zhizheng smiled: "The old fox is the chief staff of Wang Er's uprising, good at guerrilla warfare, mountain warfare, it's normal if you don't beat him, let's go, go to the county government and call the county lieutenant over, I'll feel the situation." ，”

At this time, Ruan Dacheng next to him interjected: "Master Hou, this old fox, I also led the militia to fight him, and he was ambushed in Xiyugou, and I didn't get a bargain." ”

Wang Zhizheng turned his head and looked at Ruan Dacheng: "Third uncle, do you have a militia under you?" ”

Ruan Dacheng nodded.

Wang Zhizheng smiled: "Okay, you, Huang Zongxi will go to the county government with me to see how to deal with this 'old fox'!" ”

Huang Zongxi arched his hand and said, "Yes, Master Hou." ”

Zhang Pu suddenly grabbed Wang Zhizheng and said, "Master Hou, let me go with Zhang Cai and Xia Yunyi with you." ”

Wang Zhizheng nodded: "Okay." ”

Wang Zhizheng supported Zhou Cheng and Zhou Gong to escort Ruan, Zuo Qingqing and Zuo Guozhu brothers and sisters took their son Liangxue, Liangyi returned to Ruan's Mansion first, and then followed Shen Shaoxian with Zhang Pu, Zhang Cai, Chen Zilong, Xia Yunyi, Huang Zongxi, and Ruan Dacheng Six people, riding horses to Tongcheng County.

When he arrived at the meeting hall of the county government, Wang Zhizheng said softly to Shen Shaoxian: "You go and call the county lieutenant over." ”

Shen Shaoxian instructed his subordinates to call the county lieutenant, and then asked Shen Shaoxian: "Shaoxian, you said that there are more than 300 bandits in this army, how many people are there in the standing army in Tongcheng County?" ”

Shen Shaoxian tilted his head and thought about it and said: "There are also more than 300 people, and a number of people have been killed and injured in several attacks on the mountain, and some have been added, and now there are about 200 people." The specific number of soldiers is at the bottom of the county lieutenant. ”

Wang Zhizheng nodded: "Bring me the topographic map." ”

Shen Shaoxian hurriedly handed the topographic map to Wang Zhizheng.

Wang Zhizheng carefully observed the topographic map and asked, "You were ambushed in this canyon?" ”

Shen Shaoxian nodded: "Yes." ”

Wang Zhizheng smiled: "Shaoxian, this canyon looks very similar to the first-line sky of Hejian Mansion, but in fact, it is not, the canyon of the first-line sky can be attacked from both sides, and the two sides of this canyon are steep, you can't climb up, and it's normal that you can't fight it." ”

At this time, the county lieutenant Wei Yuan strode in.

Shen Shaoxian smiled slightly, and said to Wei Yuan: "Wei Yuan, come, let me introduce you, this is Lord Zhengwang of Chongguo Mansion." ”

Wang Zhizheng's name, who doesn't know, after hearing it, Wei Yuan hurriedly knelt down on one knee: "Wei Yuan, the lieutenant of Tongcheng County, meets the Hou Ye!" ”

Wang Zhizheng gently helped Wei Yuan up: "Lord Wei, please hurry up, I'm just an ordinary prince, how can I afford your gift." ”

Wei Yuan stood up and said with a smile: "Lord Wang is the first person to clear Wei Eunuch, and he is the crown prince and princess, where are ordinary people." ”

Wang Zhizheng waved his hand: "I learned from Shenzhi County's mouth that in these attacks on Beishan, you were ambushed once in this canyon, and the second and third times you were ready to bypass the canyon, but you fell into the trap of the bandits, and were led by the nose to turn around in the mountains. ”

Wei Yuan bowed and smiled awkwardly: "Back to the Hou Ye, it's true, although Beishan is not high, the terrain is complex, once you lose your way, it is easy to be led by the nose." ”

Wang Zhizheng pondered for a moment: "Is there any law for this 'old fox' to go down the mountain and rob?" ”

Wei Yuan thought for a while and replied: "I haven't summarized it, several big families in the county, Ruan's, Zuo's, Jiang's, and Chen's, all have government soldiers, and they don't have the strength to attack for a while, but Chen's and Jiang's grain team was robbed and killed once, and a young lady of Jiang's family was robbed, and later died on the mountain, so the most is to rob the passing cars and horses, rob and kill the lone pedestrians, and the largest loot is that the first month of the year was captured from Beishan and killed a team of official food that entered the county government, and robbed 10,000 stone official grain. ”

Wang Zhizheng nodded and said: "The scale of the bandits is not large, there is no need to use force to clear them again and again, and it is okay to outwit them." ”

Wang Zhizheng's understatement of the four words "outwitting can also be used" disappointed the county lieutenant and Shen Shaoxian for a while.

Shen Shaoxian smiled bitterly and said: "Master Hou, it is possible to outwit, but how to outwit?" ”

Wang Zhizheng turned to look at Huang Zongxi: "Taichong, you and the county lieutenant will go to Beishan with me to catch a few tongues." ”

Huang Zongxi hugged his fist excitedly: "Yes, Master Hou!" ”

Wang Zhizheng smiled and said to Shen Shaoxian: "Wait, grab a few tongues and come back for interrogation later." ”

Shen Shao first saw that Wang Zhizheng was about to take Huang Zongxi and Wei Yuan into the mountain, and immediately said to Wei Yuan: "Lord Wei, you take a team of people." ”

Wang Zhizheng smiled and patted Shen Shaoxian's shoulder: "Shaoxian, if you let a team of people go with us, can you still catch your tongue?" ”

Huang Zongxi also smiled and said: "Brother Shaoxian, we are going to Shun a few little minions, do you still want to make a big splash." ”

Ruan Dacheng hurriedly asked, "Master Hou, do you want me to go with you?" ”

Wang Zhizheng looked at a few of them and said, "You guys will accompany Lord Shen to drink tea and chat first, and we will come back before dark." ”

After that, he instructed Wei Yuan: "Lord Wei, you go and pick me a strong bow and a big knife." ”

Wei Yuan nodded and went to prepare.
