Han Mao has been assigned to southern Xinjiang for lying about the military situation, and he is replaced by Dong Liang, the former town of Xiwei.

The Ninghua Institute was already seriously short of soldiers, and after the battle of Lou Fu, there were less than 300 old, weak, sick and disabled left, Dong Liang brought 80 private soldiers from Zhenxiwei, and a new deputy Qianhu also brought 50 private soldiers, barely enough for 400 people.

Coupled with the 112 soldiers of the new Qin Baihu, the number of soldiers in this Ninghua Institute is at least 50% of the number of soldiers, and the remaining 50% of the empty salary will naturally fall into Dong Liang's pocket, and the 1,000 households and the 200 households can drink some soup at most.

As for the new Qin Baihu, Dong Liang didn't plan to give him a share of the profits, who in the officialdom of Taiyuan Mansion didn't know that this surnamed Qin had offended many people, even the Jin Palace.

I heard that several big families had joined forces to launch the impeachment of the surname Qin, and it is said that Lord Shiwen of Donggak University and the prince of Jin were both on the book.

This backer of Qin Baihu is nothing more than the previous governor Lord Song, but now Lord Song has been demoted, and after he has no backer, he may have to take off his official hat before he has time to wear it.

Perhaps, when the new governor finds out about his many evil acts, he will be given a decisive decision to set an example.

After Dong Liang took office, he didn't plan to call Qin Baihu to do something, anyway, that person was not far from death.

What's more, several small officials such as hundreds of households, Zhenfu and Zongqi in the station have all suffered from the surname Qin, and a few of them are related to the big households in Jingle Lan County, and they are basically the opponents of the surname Qin.

Calling the surname Qin will only make those petty officials uncomfortable.

……

On this day, when Dong Liang was gathering the hundreds of old, weak, sick and disabled people to the station, and reorganizing and reorganizing, he suddenly received a report: The surnamed Qin was coming to Ninghua with 300 people, and he had already passed Jingle County, and it was estimated that he would be able to reach Ninghua in the evening.

When Dong Liang heard it, hey, this kid came so quickly, and he brought a full 300 people, what did he want to do? Do you want to give Lao Tzu a dismount or what?

Immediately, Dong Liang summoned the deputy thousand households and two hundred households, and ordered them to gather all the private soldiers, and some of them were hidden in the houses on both sides of the yamen of the thousand households.

When the time comes, the big families in Jingle Lan County will definitely be indispensable to their benefits.

Especially the Jiexiu Fan family, who travels back and forth between Lou Fu and Zhangjiakou all the year round, when transporting grain and iron, it is indispensable to give Ninghua Institute and Ningwu Pass a little bit up and down, and the shot is very generous, if the head surnamed Qin is sold to the Fan family, it will definitely be exchanged for a lot of silver.

So, the Ninghua Thousand Households began to sharpen their knives, waiting for the person surnamed Qin to come to the door.

In the evening, the surname Qin really arrived, three hundred people and horses were mighty, and a brand-new flag flew in the wind, so it was not majestic.

The place where Ninghua Qianhu is stationed is actually a 200-step square village, built on the mountain, there is a high earthen wall on three sides, there are several rows of barracks built in it, there are houses such as yamen warehouses, and there are several caves dug on the side of the mountain.

Now, the gate of the Thousand Households is closed, and there are three soldiers on each of the arrow towers next to them, who are lazily watching Qin Chuan's team.

Qin Chuan raised his hand, asked the team to stop, rode his horse close to the gate, and shouted towards the arrow tower: "I am the new Ninghua guarding the hundred households of the Hundred Households Qin Chuan, please open the door of your colleagues, so that Qin can enter and take office." ”

A petty official with a mustache on the arrow tower said lazily: "Can you bring a waist card?" Hand over the waist card first, verify the identity and then let it go. ”

As he spoke, a soldier next to him hung a basket with a rope.

Qin Chuan frowned, and after glancing at the eight-character bearded petty official, he rode his horse to the bottom of the arrow tower, took off the waist card from his waist, and put it in the basket.

After the basket was lifted, the eight-character Hu Xiaoguan picked it up and weighed it, and checked it carefully, only then did he smile and said: "It turned out to be Lord Qin, disrespectful, disrespectful, please wait for a while, and wait for the small one to report to the Lord of the Thousand Households first." ”

As he spoke, the little officer handed Qin Chuan's waist card to a small soldier next to him, and the little soldier walked down the arrow tower unhurriedly and walked slowly inside.

Qin Chuan's brows furrowed even deeper.

Of course, he could see that the petty official on the arrow tower was deliberately embarrassing himself.

But he didn't have a seizure, just waited patiently.

After waiting for a full two quarters of an hour, there was finally a sound of footsteps on the arrow tower, followed by a slightly chubby man wearing a bright helmet and wearing scale armor.

"I am Dong Liang of the Thousand Households of Ninghua Institute, and the following is Qin Chuan?" As soon as the man got up to the arrow tower, he asked Qin Chuan with two nostrils.

Qin Chuan frowned slightly, and responded lightly: "That's right, I am Qin Chuan." ”

Dong Liang said coldly: "When you see Shangguan, why don't you get off the horse and worship?" ”

Qin Chuan smiled faintly and said: "How do I know if you are a thousand households in Ninghua, take the waist card to me first." ”

"You ......" Dong Liang was furious, "Good you Qin Chuan!" A small hundred households dared to be disrespectful and humble, and the following ......"

"Less." Qin Chuan interrupted him impatiently, "Give me a refreshing word, this station, let me in?" ”

"You ......"

Dong Liang was so angry that his face turned pale.

He has been a hereditary magistrate in Zhenxiwei for more than ten years, and he has seen a lot of ** who has committed crimes without respect and humility, and he has cleaned up a lot, but he has never seen such arrogance as the surname Qin.

Seeing that he only blushed and didn't speak for a long time, Qin Chuan said impatiently: "If you don't enter this tattered station, return my waist card." ”

Dong Liang looked at the waist card in his hand, and suddenly sneered: "Qin Chuan, you have only one hundred households, and the number of soldiers is only one hundred and twelve, you dare to exceed the military system and lead as many as 300 soldiers, hum!" Wait for me to report to the commander of the envoy ......"

Qin Chuan interrupted him again: "Who told you that my three hundred people are soldiers?" I am all the entourage of Mengjiazhuang, taking care of my life, does the Daming Law stipulate that military generals are not allowed to take their entourage when traveling? ”

"You ......" Dong Liang's face turned the color of pork liver.

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and throw my waist card down."

Qin Chuan became more and more impatient, he still had to rely on the waist card to enter and exit the pass, and accept the inspection along the road, if he was detained by the hanging hair upstairs, it would be difficult to walk this way.

Dong Liang took a few deep breaths, squinted and thought for a moment, suddenly changed his tone just now, and said lightly: "Since those people outside are Qin Baihu's entourage, according to the Da Ming law, non-relatives of officers and soldiers are not allowed to enter the garrison, so please Qin Baihu leave those three hundred people outside and come in alone to take office." ”

Qin Chuan didn't respond, but cursed in annoyance, and then shouted a few times to the back.

Among the three hundred people behind, five old bandits from Jiuji Mountain who were armed with bows and arrows immediately came out, and when they arrived at Qin Chuan's side, they all stretched their bows and arrows and aimed them at Dong Liang.

The few people on the arrow tower didn't expect him to be bold enough to shoot Shangguan, and immediately panicked, some hurriedly picked up their shields and blocked them in front of them, and some simply lay on the ground.

Dong Liang reacted extremely quickly, and in a flash, he hid behind a small soldier holding a shield.

Qin Chuan said expressionlessly: "I only counted three times, after three sounds, if you don't throw down the waist card, I will step on Pingninghua to guard the thousands of households and take your dog's life." ”

"You...... Don't you dare? Dong Liang poked out half of his head and scolded loudly.

"One."

Qin Chuan began to count.

"Aren't you afraid of the Nine Clans?"

"Two."

"You ......"

"Three."

Before the words fell, a black waist card was thrown down from the arrow tower.

At the same time, the five old bandits of Jiuji Mountain beside Qin Chuan pulled their bowstrings together, and five arrows roared away, some nailed into the pillars of the arrow tower, and some were inserted in the shields.

"Dong Qianhu, the next official will come back to office another day."

Qin Chuan picked up the waist card on the ground, turned the horse's head, and swaggered away.

Soon, his three hundred horsemen followed him and marched north in the twilight.

On the arrow tower, Dong Liang touched his body, and after not finding the arrow, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and then heard a scream like killing a pig.

The eight-character bearded petty official was hit by an arrow in the arm.

Dong Liang didn't have time to pay attention to him, so he only hurried downstairs and ran towards the yamen, shouting: "Hurry up and prepare the horse, take my handwritten letter and rush to Yangqu, and present it to the commander of the Shanxi capital, saying that the surname Qin intends to rebel and lead troops to attack the garrison." ”
