Shen Zhiyuan listened, pointed at Wu Zheng and scolded with a smile: "This is too vicious." ”

Wu Zheng rolled his eyes nonchalantly and said, "To be merciful to the enemy is to commit a crime against one's own people. You kid doesn't understand. ”

But no one expected it.

Wu Zheng's trick didn't work at all.

Because there are people in the col.

A bandit was dragged in.

"Official...... Official, don't kill me, the little one is here to deliver the message. ”

"What message?"

"The little one passed the word for the military division in the village, and the military division said that if the officials and soldiers can guarantee not to kill the brothers in the village, we will ...... Just drop. ”

Wu Zheng looked left and right, and everyone laughed.

"Go back and tell your military advisor that he will come and talk to the official himself."

"Yes...... Can....... The bandit replied, "Can the official guarantee ......?" ”

"Guarantee a fart, go back and tell your military advisor, now this official is a knife, and he is a fish. If you want to live, let him come and ask the official to surrender himself. ”

The little thief ran back in embarrassment and went back to his life.

Chen Sheng smiled: "My lord, it seems that the brothers can go back to the guard house early." ”

Wu Zheng shook his head and said: "Send someone back and tell Zhao Shi that the eight counties of Shaoxing will be spread and posted a notice that the Lianghu Guard has exterminated Liu Laosan, and let all the bandits in Pinggang Mountain surrender to the Lianghu Guard within three days, otherwise they will all be wiped out." ”

"Yes."

Li Ruhai asked, "My lord, what should I do with such a captive?" ”

Wu Zheng said: "Let's hold it first, and when the bandits in the col have results, they will be dealt with together." ”

"The subordinates want to say that if the adults let these people go, they will still become bandits."

Wu Zheng thought for a while and said: "Then select the strong ones from them and add them to each battalion, and the rest will be sent to Wuzhuang to be used as farmers, or sent to the sea to fish and dry salt." ”

Li Ruhai nodded and said, "This arrangement is very appropriate." ”

At this time, the soldiers came in to report that the bandits' division had arrived.

"The sinner Jiang Li asks Lord Wu to surrender."

Looking at this middle-aged man in Tsing Yi, Wu Zheng was also curious.

"You don't look like a bandit, but like a scholar."

Jiang Boli replied: "Student Chongzhen's three years of life. ”

"Uh...... You are a good scholar, why are you not good, why do you fall into the grass and follow the thief? ”

Chongzhen three years, fifteen years ago, can be born, in the hope of a great lift.

Fifteen years, as long as there are no accidents, how can you still go to high school.

Jiang Boli smiled bitterly: "My lord, who is willing to be a thief?" Haven't you been forced to be helpless? ”

"Forced? Who forced it? ”

"Who else...... The government. Jiang Boli glanced at Wu Zheng.

Of course, Wu Zheng understands the meaning, and Wu Zheng at this time represents the government.

But Wu Zheng didn't mind, "Tell me, what's the matter?" ”

Jiang Boli saw that Wu Zheng didn't look like he was angry, so he spoke: "The student is from Yingshan, De'an Mansion (now Anlu), Hubei, although his family is not a wealthy family, it is not difficult. In the seventh year of Chongzhen, the rich man in the same city fell in love with my family's 100 acres of paddy field, and wanted to forcibly buy it at a low price, but my father naturally refused to sell his ancestral property cheaply. At this time, it was the time of the Yixing civil uprising, and I didn't want the rich to collude with the state government officials and charge the students' families with gangsters. ”

Speaking of this, Jiang Boli's tears fell down, "Overnight, my family was ruined, and I pity my family of nine, except for me, who traveled abroad, all of them were poisoned." ”

Wu Zheng frowned and said, "You have a reputation for showing off your talents, why don't you sue you?" ”

"Sue me?" Jiang Boli said angrily, "The student sued, sued the Yamen of the Political Envoy of Hubei Chengxuan, do you know what happened to the student in the end?" ”

“……。”

"The political secretary Yamen sentenced the student to make a false accusation, and the De'an Mansion ruled that the punishment was reasonable. The students were also deported to De'an Province for the crime of gangsterism and handed over to the De'an Government for disposal. ”

Wu Zheng was speechless, when the people were in turmoil, it was understandable for the government to use heavy codes in troubled times, but if the officials and businessmen colluded and disregarded people's lives, it would be the officials who forced the people to rebel.

It was only later that the students learned that Senator Zuo was actually the son and daughter of a wealthy man in the same city. Let me ask my lord, can the student win? ”

Wu Zheng was silent, although the left senator of the political secretary was from the fourth grade, he was a powerful person.

"By the time the students were deported back to Dean, they were in despair. I want to be reunited with my family in the underworld, and it's not bad. Jiang Boli said with a sad face, "I can't imagine that I happened to encounter Liu Laosan and other bandits attacked halfway, and the students were saved because of this, although Liu Laosan was a bandit, but he always had the grace to save the lives of the students, he kept me as a military advisor, and the students had no way to go, so they agreed to come down." ”

Wu Zheng understood when he heard this, and said to Jiang Boli: "If it is really as you said, this official thinks that you have a rough life, and you can not be blamed, what are your plans in the future?" ”

Jiang Boli smiled bitterly: "My lord, in addition to studying for more than ten years, what else can a student do?" After leaving the cottage, the student is a wanted criminal by the government, unless he goes north to join the Qing court. But although the students hated the government, they also knew that there were some things they couldn't do, and if they did, they would humiliate their ancestors. If the adults do not give up, the students are willing to work under the adults, do chores, copy and copy official documents, and eat together, that is. ”

Wu Zheng thought for a while and said, "It's okay, the official is approved." ”

"Thank you, Lord for your kindness." Jiang Boli said to Wu Zhengchang.

"How many bandits are there in the col?"

"Back to the adult, there are still ninety people."

"Would you like to take the officers and soldiers into the col?"

"I am willing to serve you."

……。

Under the leadership of Jiang Boli, the officers and troops successfully passed through the Yongdao and entered the mountain pass.

Wu Zheng never thought that the mountain col would be so big.

There are five or six hundred acres of land alone.

Although it was early winter, there were no crops in the fields.

But Wu Zheng can imagine that even if he is trapped outside the mountain for a year, he will not be able to force Liu Laosanbu to surrender.

I couldn't help but secretly rejoice in my heart.

The first thing Wu Zheng did was to let Jiang Boli lead him to the treasury of the thief's den.

"Only Liu Laosan has the key to this warehouse." Jiang Boli pointed to the locked passage where the door was.

Wu Zheng tilted his head, and Chi Erhan picked up a big stone and smashed the door lock directly.

When he went in, Wu Zheng's eyes shone brightly.

This room is full of gold, silver, and good things.

Jiang Boli pointed to a pile of boxes in the corner of the east wall and said: "This is a few months ago, Liu Laosan robbed a passing merchant and killed more than a dozen people. ”

Wu Zheng nodded, Shen Bancheng didn't lie, the Huang family was indeed robbed and killed by Liu Laosan.

Chen Sheng stepped forward with a knife and slashed the lock on a box, which was full of silver, and there was an account book on it.

Chen Sheng picked it up and flipped it a few times, then turned around and handed it to Wu Zheng.

Wu Zheng took it and read a few pages, his face changed, and what was recorded on it was actually a secret money exchange between several counties and county commanders of Shaoxing Prefecture and Fang Guoan and Wang Zhiren, and the amount was as high as hundreds of thousands of taels.

In just a few counties, they actually gave each other such a high amount of money and food, which made Wu Zheng feel terrified.
