Chapter 190: There are mountain bandits
After finishing the meal, An Chengkang's family returned to their courtyard, Liu Heng and An Ruyi talked with Mo Shi for a while, until a moment had passed, and Mo Shi really couldn't hold on to the sleepiness, so she reluctantly let the two go.
After a month-long journey from the capital to the village, Mo's ability to survive this was due to the efficacy of the pills refined by An Ruyi, and the other was because the arrangements for the journey along the way had always been very generous, otherwise where could it be used for such a long time?
Sitting on the "Flying Flower" with a concealment formation, Liu Heng skillfully set the destination with a compass, and the two flashed into Ruyiju. "Flying Flower" hid in the darkness and flew steadily all the way to the capital.
Using the compass to set the direction and let the magic weapon automatically fly to the destination, this is also a similar method that the two of them accidentally discovered in the library of Ruyiju recently, and they practiced it several times before applying it freely.
This time, they stayed in the family's secret place for much longer than they had originally estimated, and it took them more than half a month to choose a suitable place, set up a formation, and refine the jade card, and finally opened up the cultivation places in the inner hall and the outer hall.
After that, he stayed behind to assist the old man in guiding the first batch of two inner disciples and thirty-one outer disciples. He didn't leave until the news came that Mo had returned to his hometown. Later, the husband and wife came to see Mo's affairs on the way back to the capital.
Liu Heng and An Ruyi stayed in Ruyiju and returned to the capital all the way without mentioning it.
The next morning, before the hour broke, people began to visit the door intermittently.
Yesterday, the Mo family sent a housekeeper with a gift to the village's Li Zheng, the patriarch of the An family, the elders of various clans, as well as An Lao's second and fourth children, as well as several families in the village who were friends with her in the early years and are still alive, and invited them to come to the door as guests.
Although he had already said that he would not accept anything when he sent the post, the housekeeper also worked hard to explain the family, as long as the person arrived, it was okay, but there were still many people who brought their chickens and ducks, and fresh vegetables and vegetables grown in the field to the door.
Mo couldn't help but smile when he heard about it, and he missed the simplicity of the people in the village. So he instructed someone to make a special registration book, and wait for the next time to have the opportunity to double the gift.
The housekeeper of the outer house was guarded, and together with An Chengkang, An Zhenhai and An Zhenjiang, he was responsible for entertaining male guests. Steward Lin pointed out An Chengkang from time to time without leaving a trace, but he got started quickly, and gradually became proficient.
The female guests were Xiangqi and a housekeeper in the inner courtyard with the Yasuhara clan at the second gate to be in charge of entertaining. There is also a little girl next to her who is responsible for leading the way.
Fortunately, there were not many people invited, and everyone performed their duties to arrange this first banquet in an orderly manner, which also opened the eyes of the people who came to the banquet, and discussed it with great interest for a long time after going back.
Afterwards, not to mention the frustration of the two people in An Lao Er and An Lao Si after seeing the big scene in the Mo Mansion and the wealth in between. Fortunately, the Mo family still remembered the love of the eldest son and daughter-in-law of the second room of the An family, and was very generous to the remaining two people in the An family, and privately gave three thousand taels of silver to each of the two rooms.
Because Mo Shi didn't specifically publicize it when he came back this time, no one knew about the parents and officials of the local state capital and county government, let alone someone came to the door.
In order to live a more peaceful life, the Mo family did not mention An Ruyi's current status and his own destiny to the Li Zheng and the patriarch of the village, and even the second and fourth rooms of the An family. just mentioned his net worth in vague terms from An Ruyi. So everyone thought that An Ruyi was lucky to meet a rich family, and she was very favored as a concubine, so she asked for this net worth for Mo's family.
Later, this kind of statement intensified without the knowledge of Mo's family, and spread all over the nearby villages and towns, which also attracted mountain bandits united by dozens of people from three groups, who wanted to take advantage of the dead of night to break into the empty door and rob Anfu.
Fortunately, Anfu has a nursing home specially sent by Mumao Villa, although there are only more than 30 people, but the nursing home that can be recognized by Mumao Villa is not to mention that it is a hundred to block a hundred, and a third-rate martial artist who can resist twenty or thirty rivers and lakes still has the ability.
And except for a few of those mountain bandits who have real skills, the rest just rely on a brave and fierce aura to scare ordinary people who don't know martial arts.
The mountain bandits should also be unlucky, these guards were sent to a small village like Wenyang Village, the village is full of ordinary people, and most of the thieves in the vicinity are not "professional" enough, usually there is not even a "capable person" who can climb over the three- or four-meter-high wall of Anfu, there is too little entertainment, and everyone who is idle feels that they are about to rust.
Can you not be excited when you suddenly encounter a large number of robbers? There are two very important things in the "Zhuang Training" of Mumao Villa, one is: if people don't offend me, I won't offend people, and if people offend me, they will be punished even if they are far away; The second is: cutting the grass without removing the roots, the spring breeze blows and grows.
That night, not only did these people come and went, but these guards also flew pigeons to pass the book to the branch set up for the Mo family in the town, gathered manpower, and left only fifteen people to watch the house, and the rest were directly killed to the lair of the three mountain bandits, and before they could react, they were directly exterminated, which can be regarded as removing a few harms for the people.
The speed of news on the rivers and lakes spreads much faster than that of the government. The next day, when the officials of Dingshan County were at the gate of the government and found several piles of the leaders of the three mountain bandits, as well as the bloody heads of the important helmsman, they were still stunned, and the other relatively large mountain bandits and water bandits in the vicinity had already received some news.
The magistrate of Dingshan County did not react until the Lin steward of Anfu personally visited the door with Liu Heng's post, although he was far away from the capital, but the news of the capital was still well-informed, when he knew that the Duchess of Zhenguo, that is, the adoptive mother of the county lord of Ping'an, the hometown of the emperor's own Mrs. Yiguo was in his own jurisdiction, and he couldn't help but be frightened when he suddenly suffered from banditry.
Not only did he rejoice that the nursing home of Anfu was powerful, so that Mrs. Yiguo was fine, if Mrs. Yiguo had an accident in the county under his jurisdiction, then he would still be able to mix in his life and have a chance to be promoted and make a fortune? You must know that behind a lady of Yiguo are two great families, and there is no need to ****** offending him in this life.
So in addition to rejoicing, the magistrate of Dingshan County hated those mountain bandits and floods, so they reported at all levels and proposed to come to a big crackdown on bandits. So the news spread to the governor of Yinzhou, and the governor of Yinzhou was suddenly shocked into a cold sweat. (To be continued.) )
