When Qin Chuan led twenty-five horsemen to line up on the mountain beam south of Jingyou Town, the lonely town seemed to explode.

There were those who fled to the north with tattered burdens and shriveled grain bags on their backs, and there were also those who ran to the entrance of the town in a panic with knives, guns, and sticks under the scolding of the head of the village.

The difference between Jingyou and Lou Fu is that the north and south sides of the town are poorly fortified, with low walls, moats, and horses crisscrossing each other, which looks chaotic and unorganized, but there is not a trace of loopholes.

The Du family has never been in the military, and these fortifications don't look like they were made by the Du family, they should be helped by Zhao Wu and Liao Sangun after they came.

When a cold north wind mixed with mud and sand blew on his face like a knife, and then blew past his ears, Qin Chuan remembered Wang Changling's song "Joining the Army and Walking Fourth".

"Yellow sand wears gold armor in a hundred battles, and Loulan will not be returned if it is not broken."

One day, he will immediately go to the bank of the Liao River, and he will not return Jianzhou if he does not break it.

Today he didn't want to take Jingyou, just to get some money and food.

After letting the five subordinates disperse to the nearby mountain beam to guard, Qin Chuan led the twenty horsemen to slowly walk down the mountain beam and came to Jingyou Town, a hundred steps away.

Hundreds of villagers in the town are as strong as facing a great enemy, and they are nervous.

When he got closer, Qin Chuan shouted: "I am Qin Chuan, the inspector of Lou Annoy, and I was ordered to come to investigate the bandits, and ask the owner of Du Yingguang to come out and speak." ”

After the group of villagers at the entrance of the town looked at each other for a moment, a man in his thirties dressed in a brocade robe replied loudly: "This place is Jingyou Town, and it is not within the jurisdiction of the Qin Patrol Inspection. ”

Qin Chuan was not annoyed, only took off a head from the back of the saddle, and said: "An hour ago, a group of thieves in Jingyou Town colluded with the rebels to rob the villagers of my Loufu Town, and five people have been killed and eight people have been captured alive by this inspection. ”

With that, he shook his hand and threw the human head far away.

His men threw the other four heads at the same time.

There was a commotion at the entrance of the town, and the brocade-robed man calmly shouted angrily a few times before calming down.

Soon, a knight rode out and picked up the heads.

The brocade-robed man took a closer look, and his face changed instantly: "You dare to kill my Du family?" ”

That was Du Chenggui's head.

Qin Chuan smiled faintly: "Where is the duty of this inspection, let alone a member of the Du family, it is the owner of Du Zhuang who dares to collude with thieves to harbor the rebels, and this inspection will kill him." ”

"You...... You wait for me. ”

The brocade-robed man's face turned pale, and he turned around and ran inside.

Qin Chuan was not in a hurry, he only took out a pipe, loaded it with tobacco, and took out a fire fold, blew it, and lit the tobacco.

This thing was seized from Guo Yan's Shentai Peak Dazhai, there are several catties of tobacco, and I don't know where that guy got it.

The fire fold was also obtained from Guo Yan, this thing looks simple, but ordinary people are reluctant to use it, it is much more expensive than flint gold, Qin Chuan just took it out to smoke a puff of cigarettes, pretending to be a handful.

Although cigarettes are a profiteering thing, Qin Chuan didn't plan to grow this thing, and it was better to have this land and manpower than a few acres of grain.

After the development of agriculture, it could be planted and used to earn the livestock of the Mongols and the silver of large foreign households.

After waiting for less than a quarter of an hour, after another commotion at the entrance of the town, an old man appeared.

Fifty or sixty years old, tall, with sharp eyes, wearing a mink, full of luxury, I can't see whether the figure is fat or thin.

This tall old man should be Du Yingguang.

Qin Chuan's gaze stayed on the mink coat on the other party's body, looking at this appearance, the material should be very good, and it must be very warm to wear on a cold day.

After taking Huangcong Mountain, Qin Chuan got a few minks from there, and after Meng Guiming identified it, it was determined that he was customized for himself and his wife and children, and he had just taken it back from Xuanfu Town not long ago, and he wanted the family to wear it for the winter to be warm and magnificent, but before the weather was cold, he was robbed by the Bashan Tiger.

With the short stature of Meng Guiming and his sons, the size of those minks is also small, and the tall Qin Chuan is like a bear with tense muscles when he wears it, and he really doesn't see it.

In the end, a few minks cheapened Lao Huang and Bobcat, and the one that Meng Guiming's wife gave to Wang Jizong by Qin Chuan, and finally fell into the hands of Wang Jizong's wife.

I heard that Ning, who has always been gentle and reserved, was like a peach blossom blooming in those days, and hummed a little song when Wang Jizong, who behaved elegantly, when he walked.

Qin Chuan also wanted a mink, warm and majestic, which could set off his tall and mighty image.

I don't know if Du Yingguang's old thing still has a new mink.

When he arrived at the entrance of the town, he took a closer look at the heads, and Du Yingguang's face also changed and became ugly.

"Qin Inspection, what does this mean?"

Du Yingguang asked word by word with a gloomy face.

Qin Chuan's gaze stayed on the big lapel of his mink, and said with a faint smile: "This inspection arrested and killed a few thieves an hour ago, and also captured a group of rebels alive, and found that those thieves were all from Jingyou Town, and one of them was named Du Chenggui, who was from the Du family. ”

"Therefore, this inspection suspects that the Du family is harboring rebels and colluding with thieves to loot the township, what can the Du family master say about this?"

"Heh, hehe."

Du Yingguang laughed angrily: "The surname is Qin, do you think that if you just buckle a hat to my Du family, you can take care of me Du Yingguang at will?" ”

Qin Chuan shook his head: "Master Du Zhuang misunderstood, this inspection is not to control the Du family, but to ...... cough, it is said that since the inspection has been in office, the Du family has not expressed it, which is really a little disappointed. ”

"Hah...... Hahahaha......"

Du Yingguang raised his head and laughed wildly: "Just with your small inspection, you also want Du to take the silver?" Hahaha, you're too whimsical. ”

"Cough, Zhao Wuliao Sangun and others were originally soldiers of the Kaipingwei Zhen'anbao battalion, but they instigated the soldiers to rebel and attacked and killed the general banner of Zhen'anbao, which has been described as a rebellion, a crime and the extermination of the nine clans, the head of the Du family should know what the crime of harboring such a serious crime rebel is."

"Hehe, you said that the Du family harbored felons, but there are witnesses and physical evidence?"

"Zhao Wu, Liao Sangun, and others can all testify."

"Then you should take them to the county government to see if Lord He of the county believes their nonsense."

"Heh, Lord He may not believe it, but Lord Futai Song ...... Not necessarily. ”

Du Yingguang's face changed, he frowned and said nothing.

He remembered a rumor that the governor of Shanxi, Lord Song, valued the surname Qin very much, and even sent Hu Dawei to Mengjiazhuang to ask the person surnamed Qin to go to the military affairs, but in the end, the surname Qin even refused.

Du Yingguang naturally didn't believe it, in his opinion, being favored by the governor, even if it was just a counselor in military affairs, was a shortcut to prosperity, no one would refuse, and no one could refuse.

So, the rumors must be false.

But it is indeed true that Hu Dawei has been to Lou Fu, and he has been here three times, which is enough to show that the governor really values the surname Qin, otherwise he would not have sent Hu Dawei to save him three times or twice.

If the person surnamed Qin sends the head to Yangqu and complains to the governor, the matter will be in trouble.

The reason why he sent Zhao Wu, Liao Sangun and others to Lou Fu was that he was afraid that too many people would cause a fight, and he was afraid that it would be unsafe to go less, so he simply sent those few nights without taking a trip, thinking that the surname Qin would not do it rashly, even if he did, with the skills of Zhao Wu, Liao Sangun and others, he would definitely be able to get out safely.

Unexpectedly, those people were arrested and killed one of his clansmen.

If you are caught, you will be arrested, and it is a big deal to spend some money, and ask He Zhi County to help settle the matter.

Unexpectedly, the surnamed Qin was obviously under the command of He Zhi County, but he had to cross He Zhi County and go directly to the governor.

I heard that the governor was very incorruptible and never collected money, if he knew that the Du family had accepted a few border soldiers who had killed officials and defected, he would have to track them down to the end.

made a mistake, and knew that Zhao Wu, Liao Sangun and others would not be allowed to show up.

The surname Qin is dressed in the skin of the government, doing the business of bandits, and now he is running to make things difficult for himself, and he doesn't know what he wants to do.

Thinking of this, Du Yingguang eased his tone a little, and asked in a loud voice: "Since the Qin patrol is here to investigate the bandits, Du, as the chief of Jingyou grain, should fully cooperate, what does the Qin patrol command, please just say it." ”

Hearing this, Qin Chuan smiled and looked at the other party's magnificent mink coat with a smile.

"Master Du, the hungry people have been increasing recently, Qin has the intention to open a warehouse to help the people, but Lou Fu has been robbed by thieves repeatedly, and there is not much food left, Qin has the heart to help the people but is shy in his pocket, and he is annoyed by this."

"I have heard that the owner of Du Zhuang is generous and generous, how about the owner of Du Zhuang donate 500 stone of grain to help the people?"

Du Yingguang's brows furrowed again.

A thief is a thief, just like a dog can't change his, he wants food when he opens his mouth.

Without waiting for him to respond, Qin Chuan smiled again and said, "Master Du, that mink coat on your body is quite good, where did you buy it?" How about buying one for Qin? ”

Hearing this, the corners of Du Yingguang's mouth twitched.

This dog thief is insatiable!
