There is still a freeze here in the capital that has not yet melted, and Zhang Dajing and they have already arrived over there, which is Xiaohu specially sent a message to him to come over earlier.

Zhang Dajing has dealt with some veterans a lot in the north in the past few years, and there are many topics of small talk, and his knowledge has increased a lot, but he is not the confused and bold mountain man at the beginning. When Xiaohu told him to understand how the emperor wanted him to make cement and how the Wang family traded with the emperor. He immediately knew how to choose what was most beneficial to him: "The owner, I know how many catties and taels I have, without your support, it may not be difficult for our Zhang family to live, but I am afraid that I will not be able to turn over now." It is also your kindness that has given my family's share a clear calculation, and there will be no less. It's not easy to deal with the government, and ordinary people like me who don't have a backer won't be mixed up behind them. I'm still walking behind you, and the cement making method will be offered by your hands! Since you don't want anything, I don't want anything either. ”

Xiaohu patted Zhang Dajing on the shoulder, "Good job!" If you are not greedy, you can go steadfast and far. At least the emperor also allowed us to open four cement factories, which is enough for the two of us to eat for a few lifetimes. If there are two factories that are up, all the dividends will be according to these two factories, and no changes will be made! ”

Zhang Dajing grinned, he knew that the Wang family would not treat him badly.

Xiaohu did not ask to see the emperor alone, but brought Zhang Dajing with him, so that he could leave an impression in front of the emperor and others. Don't let people think that their own family took away the things of the Zhang family and asked for any big benefits in front of the emperor, and when the time comes, someone will take advantage of this to attack and annihilate Xiaolong, who is an official in the court. Regardless of whether right and wrong can be distinguished in the end, the harm of this matter has already been done. Don't think that they are too cautious and too tired. There's no way around it. It's much easier to avoid what can be avoided now than to go through the trouble of filling the loopholes later.

Erya used to be the edifier of office culture, and knew the essence of it, so that colleagues who were full of college students around her were obviously angry at her, a wild duck mixed in the swan, but they could only stare at her and see that she was stronger than her own, and she couldn't find a vulnerability that could be attacked in a few years.

It is the real wise man who can prevent everything before it happens, and Erya has not yet reached that height. It can only be done where it goes.

The cement matter was solved, and Erya and Xiaohu planned to go back to Lanzhou to help Xiaolong. There are still many things in the capital, which can only be put aside for the time being. After all, Xiaolong's efforts to suppress bandits over there are more than all family matters, and there is no room for the slightest mistake.

The two left two stable boys, one as a martial arts instructor in the compound where the adopted children were adopted, and the other recruited people to be the head of the guards in the eastern suburbs farm. With the rest of the men, he hurried back. It just so happens that Xiaolong's side has already been arranged. Just waiting for the excuses on the surface to come out, and began to destroy them mountain by mountain.

At this time, it has reached the end of the first month and the beginning of February, which is the peak period of mountain bandits and robberies every year. As soon as Xiaohu and his wife arrived, they heard that someone in the yamen reported that the house had been robbed by robbers.

Good! Here comes the excuse! Xiaolong personally led people, Xiaohu followed as a deputy, and Erya was in charge at home, but don't call someone to lift it in the hot backyard in front.

They went first to the bandits on the nearest hill, who were said to be the maiden home of the Yan family's stepwife. Although there is already an internal response on the mountain. But it's not easy to fight. It's not easy because there are more than five hundred people on the other side, and they have less than one hundred and fifty people. In fact, in the manpower battle. This side is standing with an absolute advantage, one person can face more than a dozen of them, according to the ratio of equal force exchange, this side is equivalent to twice the strength of the other party. The difficulty is that those people on the other side can't be killed at once, they are different from the people of Western Xinjiang, who burn, kill and loot in the territory of Damin. But these people only rob money and hurt people, if they directly kill them, it will be a bit too much, and then Xiaolong will have no merit but have it.

The people here are merciful, but the bandits will not be grateful to them for their mercy, so they surrender without a fight. On the contrary, it will give them the confidence to win, and raise their knives even more vigorously against those who do not want to hurt their lives.

Xiaolong saw that several people on his side had been cut, his eyes were red, and he shouted loudly: "Don't care if they are dead or alive, give me a hard beating!" ”

He himself no longer left room for himself, but just slashed the sword in his hand into the opponent's hands. When the people here could let go of their hands and feet to slash and kill, the situation immediately reversed, and the mountain bandits could no longer parry, and it didn't take long for a wail and shouts for mercy.

It wasn't until the previous Nei Ying escorted the big leader and the second leader from the Uchiyama to the front that the mountain bandits who still wanted to do the last struggle put down their weapons in a decadent manner and knelt down on a blood-stained battlefield.

Xiaohu didn't care what happened to those people, as soon as he stopped here, he was busy greeting his own people, and quickly took out the wound medicine and gauze strips to bandage the wounds of the injured children on his side.

When Xiaolong led hundreds of mountain bandits back to Fucheng with his hands, he was followed by many miserable old men, women, and children, and the common people along the way saw the miserable appearance of the mountain bandits, the old people who were in a hurry, the women who were hanging their heads and hiding their faces, and the children who were crying and howling. did not cheer for the government's success in suppressing the bandits, but sympathized with these mountain bandits and their wives, children, sons, and mothers.

Xiaolong looked at the people watching on both sides, and his eyes showed quite obvious sympathy for the mountain bandits and condemnation of his own side, his heart felt like he was going to vomit blood, and even thought a little decadently that the mountain bandits behind him should be left alone, let them rob and steal.

Xiaohu and the boys together are not blind, of course, they can see it clearly, and they don't have the initial agitation, and they all hang their heads and walk silently on both sides of the escort bandits. Xiaolong, who returned to the house, was in a depressed mood, but the procedure that should be taken had to be followed step by step. The trial of the trial and the personnel who should be arranged must be properly arranged.

As soon as the old man of the Yan family heard that Xishantou was suppressed by the prefect, his eyelids jumped, and he was still targeted in the end. He was now starting to feel that he couldn't hide it all the time, but he would only die faster if he did it. The prefect only has more than 100 people to get rid of the West Mountain, and he has been thinking about getting rid of the identity of the mountain bandit all these years, so he has not added additional manpower, and now that manpower is not enough for them to take a round.

The old man of the Yan family was thinking about a way out in a hurry, and his son ran in in a hurry: "Dad! Many people on the street were talking about how pitiful those captured bandits were, and that the new prefect was too ruthless. We also add fuel to his fire behind his back, stink his reputation fiercely, and drive him out! ”

"Say you're stupid, and you won't admit it. The prefect is now only afraid that there is no place to go out with a fire in his belly, and you still want to move forward? Don't worry what those people want to say, what you should be thinking about now is where is our way out? ”

"Daddy! Didn't you say that as long as we don't move the government, we won't be able to do anything? ”

"Stupid! That was before, and now that the West Mountain has been destroyed, are we still far away? My Yan family now occupies the title of a legitimate rich man, so that the government does not dare to do it at will. Otherwise, your woman, who doesn't know whether to live or die, would have already put the knife on the neck of the master. ”

"So, what now?"

"Hey! What to do? Enter! Die faster, retreat! Where do you want to retreat? Where is the way out? Giving up all your wealth to live in seclusion? That old man dropped his head on the rope and was busy for most of his life, what is the point?! The old man of the Yan family was talking to himself while pacing with his hands behind his back, thinking about the way out for the Yan family. Ay! I have never dared to act rashly, but now it is even more difficult to move!

The old man of the Yan family was entangled in sleeping and eating, but Xiaolong's side was in full swing, and the more he interrogated, the more energetic he became. What Yan family robbed the Yue family and killed the father-in-law, which year and year did the Yan family rob which rich people who were unwilling to give protection money, Yanshantou robbers because which family was unwilling to give a protection fee of 100,000 yuan a year, they united with the people of Western Xinjiang to destroy them, and which mountain robber robbed whose daughter-in-law and went back to the mountain to be a daughter-in-law, and which robber robbed someone's little daughter-in-law and killed her man and threw her man into the mountains to feed the tiger wolf

In the end, Xiaolong couldn't wait to bring in the common people who sympathized with these robbers and bandits, this is the robbers who have always been rumored to only rob the rich people's money, but never kill people. Do you really think this is a group of heroes who rob the rich and help the poor?

After the interrogation, several officials in the government office who participated in the interrogation did not dare to take any more inaction, and four people were added in a row to make trial records. The more the trial is carried out, the more it is involved, and the entanglement between several hills, the clearer it becomes to know who among the government officials, squires, and rich people is related to several mountains.

Xiaolong took the West Mountain to open the knife, just thinking about the persimmon picking and pinching, and first took this recent strength is also a big practice, but he didn't expect it to be the most thorough one. However, the officials who participated in the trial of the case threw themselves at the five bodies that the new prefect admired, and thought that it was Xiaolong's subordinates how powerful they were, and they had found out so clearly about the robbers and bandits here in just a few months, and they had grasped the most central root of the knot at once. Hehe! Big misunderstanding!

Just when several mountains were united and ready to resist the prefect's extermination together, the prefect suddenly let go of the bandits, and also sent all the manpower to nowhere else.

The bandits and bandits don't know where the boys, but under the leadership of Xiaohu, they have quietly come to the deep mountains where Xiaohu took people to survey for more than a month, and began to live a savage life, quietly waiting for the people who are likely to enter the people of the West through this mountain to burn and kill the plundering of the Western Xinjiang.
