Cen Erniang went to the arsenal of the bandits' den in Qianshan, saw the dagger and the iron whip, and was very happy.

An Sanshao happily pulled her to see the Night Pearl. Those night pearls, all of them have the size of a baby's fist, the color is bright and moist, and they are bright and bright when placed in the dark, and they are rare and superb, and each one is worth at least 100 gold. I heard that it was the collection of a merchant in the caravan that Boss Gong led people to loot last year.

Cen Erniang used to be in the Cen family in Hong'an, and she rarely saw a night pearl of this quality. She guessed that the unlucky merchant who had been robbed must have been extremely rich, otherwise he would not have carried these night pearls with him to play with.

Cen Erniang only played for a moment, and then returned them to An Sanshao.

An Sanshao insisted on giving her two, but Cen Erniang naturally refused to accept them. The two gold bracelets before were of limited value, and she had no choice but to accept them. And after that, she had secretly stuffed two silver tickets to An Zhu and An Song to compensate them, which was regarded as a courtesy exchange.

But the night pearls seized by An Sanshao were worth a lot of money, and Cen Erniang naturally resolutely refused. Now that the Cen family is in decline and the family property is limited, she has no objects of comparable value to give back to An Sanshao. Even if there were, she couldn't bear it.

An Sanshao couldn't compete with Cen Erniang, and the night pearl was put into the treasure chest by him, ready to be transported back to Anfu to honor his elders.

After reading the Night Pearl, Cen Erniang went to help An Ze, who was in a group of things, to do things. He registered the bandits and their relatives who had surrendered in the village on his behalf, and interrogated each one by one about their age, place of origin, what they had done, and whether they had harmed anyone's lives......

Those bandits were all fierce, and when they saw her as a little girl, not only did they not answer her questions, but they also spoke in a tone. insulted her, so angry that Cen Erniang almost burst her blood vessels.

Before she burst her blood vessels, An Sanshao broke out when she heard a few words, rushed to the dungeon and beat up the bandits and their families who were disrespectful to Cen Erniang, and gave Cen Erniang a bad breath.

With the assistance of An Sanshao's force, he was coerced. Cen Erniang's temptation quickly pried open the mouths of those people, understood their situation thoroughly, and recorded them one by one. so that you can check it out at the back of the government.

In addition to those who escaped at night, there are still more than 100 people in the dungeon. Cen Erniang and An Sanshao interrogated and registered one by one, and it took a whole day until the next day, when An Ze and the doctor cleaned and bandaged everyone's wounds. And cleaned the corners and corners of the cottage a few times to confirm that there were no hidden treasures, and Cen Erniang and An Sanshao were done.

Afterwards, Major General An San handed over the roster to An Ze and asked him and two other guards to personally send it to the county government of Lin'an County. He, Cen Erniang, An Zhu, An Song and others stayed in the cottage to take care of the bandits and their families, so that no one would escape and continue to make trouble, waiting for Jingzhi County to bring troops to come and capture the thieves.

Hengtian Peak is located in a remote location, in the middle of the mountains. It is located within the jurisdiction of Lin'an County. Jingzhi County had long intended to clean up this group of bandits, but because this group of bandits in Hengtian Peak came and went like the wind, hid in secrecy, and were very familiar with the local terrain, Jingzhi County sent people to pursue them several times, but they were not able to arrest them. They didn't even find out where they were hiding, which was a headache for Jingzhi County.

So, two days later, when An Ze and the three of them sent the roster to the county government of Lin'an County, it was seen by Jingzhi County. He was simply ecstatic. personally met with the three of Anze, held their hands on the spot, and thanked and praised them vigorously.

Subsequently, Jingzhi County ordered 150 strong men and 20 officials. Bring shackles and chains, and go to Hengtian Peak to get people with An Ze and a few people in full armor.

Because of the merit of Anjia in capturing the enemy and the damage was not light, Jingzhi County acquiesced to them taking away half of the hidden treasures of Hengtian Peak's treasury as a sign of appreciation. This move was praised by everyone in the An family.

Cen Erniang and An Sanshao sorted out and recorded the crimes of the bandits, saving a lot of effort for Jingzhi County. Jingzhi County personally met with the two of them. And highly praised them. Later, he also asked his master to send two gold plaques of "Righteousness and courage, eliminating harm for the people" to Anjia and Cen's family.

Jingzhi County learned from Gossip with Cen Erniang that she meant that Cen Erlang who moved Zhao Yue to Zhilin Village to investigate the Jiang family praised her in her heart.

Because of her unexpected kindness and a kind thought, she eradicated the big tumor of the Jiang family for him and accumulated a lot of political achievements. The governor of the southwest, Da Dacheng, even wrote a letter of praise to him personally, saying that he wanted to bring the matter to the top and give him a promotion.

Jingzhi County sat alone in the house and talked with Cen Erniang, and he sued Cen Erniang that Cen Dalang and Zhao Yue had joined forces with him not long ago to verify dozens of major crimes committed by the Jiang family of the Zhilin Village clan, including: rape. Crimes such as prostitution, robbery, abduction, private courts, disregard for human life, illegal hoarding of land, illegal mining of iron ore and cast iron soldiers, and fornication with the Northern Barbarians.

The Jiang family has settled in Zhilin Village for seventy or eighty years, and the clansmen are very large, and they are rich and unkind, and they have developed a big poison in Zhilin Village. Tumor. Because of his great power and cunning and ruthlessness, most of the villagers in the vicinity were plagued by the Jiang family but did not dare to speak up, so they could only break their teeth and swallow blood.

In the past few decades, there have also been a few families who were persecuted by the Jiang family and wanted to sue them in court, either because they did not have enough evidence to convict the Jiang family, or they were framed and severely responsible when they encountered corrupt officials who were in the same stream as the Jiang family, or they were robbed and killed before they entered the court with evidence.

The Jiang family has been smooth sailing for too long, and in recent years, they have become more and more arrogant and unscrupulous.

A few days ago, Cen Dalang and Cen Erye saw Cen Erniang's letter, so they ordered Zhao Yue and Yumo to take two dart masters to visit Maolin Village and Zhilin Village in person, and confirmed that the Shen family was indeed ruined by the Jiang family, so they went to Maolin Village to take Shen Mao's father and daughter back to the Cen family.

Second Master Cen also asked Master Bu Operator to diagnose and treat Shen Mao and prescribe medicine to recuperate for him.

Zhao Yue fell in love with Shen Mao's second daughter Shen Huan at first sight, and later contacted Shen Huan several times, and found that the other party was sometimes lively and pretty, sometimes gentle and eloquent, and beautiful in appearance, with everyone's beautiful demeanor, so he had the idea of marrying Shen Huan.

But he was about to infiltrate the Jiang family with Cen Dalang to investigate the Jiang family's crimes, and he had no time to have more contact with Shen Huan and cultivate his feelings, so he had a long talk with Shen Mao, hoping that Shen Mao would agree to marry Shen Huan to him.

Shen Mao's family has been in the middle of the road for many years, and the subsequent experience has been even more bumpy, and the marriage of his two daughters has been full of twists and turns, and he is also very worried. As soon as Zhao Yue appeared, he also had a good impression of him who was young, promising, bold and righteous, and dignified, and heard that Zhao Yue had a crush on his second daughter, so he agreed to Zhao Yue's request almost without thinking about it.

Zhao Yue made a quick decision, and before he and Cen Dalang set off to Jiang's house in Zhilin Village, he sent a matchmaker to propose marriage to Shen Mao. After Shen Mao talked to Shen Huan, he knew that his daughter was also happy with Zhao Yue, so he agreed to marry Shen Huan to Zhao Yue.

Because Zhao Yue is about to turn 20 years old. was about to be forced to marry by the official media, so he and the matchmaker quickly exchanged Zhao Yue and Shen Huan's Geng posts, and set to get married in a month.

Zhao Yue, who finally had a settlement in his marriage and was worried about his heart, disguised himself as a village man with Cen Dalang. mixed into the Jiang family's newly hired family guards, went deep into the Jiang family's internal investigation, found out many crimes of the Jiang family, and found and mastered many criminal evidence of the Jiang family.

Later, they sneaked out of the Jiang family's mansion. On a dark and windy night, the evidence was sent to Jingzhi County.

After Jingzhi County saw it, he sent his subordinates to visit Zhilin Village and the nearby Maolin Village and Jinlin Village, and confirmed from the villagers that all the crimes that Cen Dalang and the Jiang family had found out were true.

Jingzhi County was furious, and immediately took hundreds of strong men and officials to Zhilin Village, uprooted the Jiang family, and brought all the more than 300 members of the Jiang family back to the Yamen for retrial.

Those people in the Jiang family are pampered and used to enjoying it. Where can you stand the great punishment and serve, and soon you will recruit all of them.

In this trial, Jingzhi County also tried many unjust cases and major cases that the villagers did not know about.

For example, the Jiang family once saw that they were interested in making money, and secretly killed several wealthy merchants in order to seize their goods and property; In order to avoid being accused of being convicted, they not only coerced the female branch girls and guests present at the time, but even killed two female branch girls who had an uneasy conscience and wanted to go to the government to denounce them.

The large and second rooms of the Jiang family's grandson. The desire for profit is consumed, and he actually secretly buys and sells human beings! They seduced beautiful girls from ten miles and eight villages. Abducted and deceived into the Northern Barbarian Army, and became a military female branch. He even secretly sold illicit salt to the north for huge profits. Ten years ago, the Jiang family discovered iron ore in the mountains behind Zhilin Village, but they concealed it and did not report it. Privately mined, smelted into iron soldiers, and secretly sold to the Northern Barbarians. This is already a great sin of fornicating with foreign enemies.

Just trafficking in human beings and iron soldiers to the Beiban, the Jiang family people who participated in it were all sentenced to be beheaded, and the three clans were punished. The in-laws of the Jiang family who participated in it were also connected.

Seventy percent of the Jiang family's property was confiscated into the state treasury, and thirty percent was compensated to the villagers who had been poisoned by the Jiang family. The Shen family was compensated with 1,000 taels of silver, and they also recovered the Shen house in Maolin Village.

Jingzhi County said and said, full of interest, he told Sù Cen Erniang that the iron mine had been taken over by the government, and in Zhilin Village and the surrounding three villages of Maolin Village and Jinlin Village, the villagers who had participated in smelting private iron and building iron soldiers were also punished: those who were strict in the case and were in the same stream with the Jiang family were imprisoned and confiscated, and those who were deceived into the iron mine and forced to do things in the less serious circumstances were symbolically fined ten taels of silver. Some skilled blacksmiths were later paid by the government and re-hired to make iron and cast soldiers in the mountains. Young adults from Zhilin, Maolin and Jinlin villages were also hired to dig iron ore in the mountains.

This matter is now widely spread in Lin'an County, and many people know the inside story, so Jingzhi County is not afraid to sue Sù Cen Erniang.

When Cen Erniang heard about this, she was shocked in her heart: she really didn't expect that the Jiang family would be so bold! Full of evil! They were punished and exiled, and they really deserved it, and she didn't sympathize with it at all.

Jingzhi County and Cen Erniang were happy to talk, and the other listened carefully, and before they knew it, the two were locked in the room and talked for more than two hours. Later, the master of Jingzhi County was too busy to ask him to go out to take charge, and the two ended the conversation unsatisfied.

After Jingzhi County and his subordinates took over Hengtian Peak, Cen Erniang and the guards of the An family all left Hengtian Peak together and returned to Anping Town in two ways.

The part of the guards who were lightly injured and could still do things was led by An Sanshao and rode a trail to Eagle's Beak Ridge. On the way, they found that the high-quality mountain delicacies and the best medicinal materials were all picked and taken away.

When they arrived at Eagle's Beak Ridge, almost everyone carried a small bag of mountain treasures and medicinal herbs on their horses. Cen Erniang relied on the marks left earlier to find the two big pits where the mountain medicinal materials and corpses were buried. Under the command of her and An Sanshao, the guards of the An family dug up all the goods and corpses and transported them away in batches.

Those guards who were seriously injured and could not do anything were pulled by several carriages rented by An Ze from the county seat of Lin'an County, and walked directly to Anping Town on the avenue.

Ten days later, Cen Erniang, An Sanshao and a group of guards from the An family, with mountain medicinal materials and the corpses of the old man Jin and others, returned to the Cen family in Anping Town, accompanied by Lin Siye.

Due to the fact that it was summer, the weather was getting hotter, and when the bodies of Old Man Jin and the others were transported back to Cen's house, they had already rotted and emitted a foul smell.

As soon as they returned to Cen's house, Second Master Cen, Cen Dalang and others didn't have time to rejoice, they saw several coffins, and heard about the causes of death of the old man Jin, and they were all very sad.

The Cen family spent a few hundred taels of silver to buy a coffin and ice cubes, and another two thousand taels were added, so they asked Lu Mingsi and his men to rush back to Zhanzhou with Lin Siye to help the coffin.

Zhao Yue wanted to go with him and send the old man Jin on their last journey, but his wedding date was approaching and he couldn't travel far, so he regretfully gave up.

After Cen Erniang, Cen Dalang and Cen Erye discussed, they sent Cen Dalang to follow Lin Siye and them to Zhanzhou, Old Man Jin and others died for the Cen family, and they had to go to the deceased's family to express themselves. At least a pension must be left for them, so that they can live without worry for two years.

Lin Siye readily agreed with the Cen family's decision, but he did not agree that the Cen family should pay the pension alone, and he and Cen Erye argued for a long time and decided that he and the Cen family would jointly bear the pension silver, and both sides would contribute half.

Master Bu Operator originally planned to return to Zhanzhou with Lin Siye, Cen Dalang and others, but his body was too depleted and he had not yet been raised, so it was not suitable for a long journey. Lin Siye didn't want the old man to accompany them on a long journey, he was afraid that the master would be tired on the road, so he and Cen Erniang persuaded the master to stay at Cen House for a while to recuperate, and then follow the dart bureau or caravan to Zhanzhou when he recovered.

The An family has reached a temporary agreement with the Gao and Feng families to reopen an official road to the outside, but in order to prevent a large amount of goods from the town from flowing out of Anping Town, the An family sent a large number of guards and private soldiers of the Gao and Feng families on the official road to conduct strict checks on pedestrians leaving the town.

Because the Cen family and Lin Siye had a very close relationship with the An family, An Sanshao returned to An's house and told Master An about what happened to Lin Siye and others, so when Lin Siye and Cen Dalang and his party helped the coffin out of the town, they were not interrogated and were directly released, and they quickly left Anping Town, passed through Qing'an County, Rongzhou Mansion and Huaizhou Mansion, and drove all the way towards Zhanzhou Mansion. (To be continued.) )
