Chapter 8: Entering the City (1)

Today's first update, the brothers only took a second to send the collection and flowers, which will be an excellent reward for Yun Ming for ten hours a day! )

The fire in Lijia Village was finally slowly extinguished an hour later, and the already dilapidated mountain village had completely lost the appearance of a village at this time.

Dozens of soldiers placed the charred corpses in the open space at the entrance of the village, and the ruins of the burned houses in the village continued to emit black smoke into the sky, and a scorching smell wafted inside and outside the village.

Looking at this miserable and desolate scene, Zhao Qing couldn't help but sigh, turned his head to Xiang Lan'er in the carriage and said, "County Lord! After the sergeants searched, they found that these villagers were unarmed at all, and several families only had an iron kitchen knife, how could they be red scarf thieves? This is clearly that Naza Kecha connived at his subordinates and accused him of being a thief! ”

Xiang Lan'er was in the carriage at this time, she had a feeling of vomiting, and through the window she also saw those charred corpses, she forced herself to feel sick and said: "Zhao Qing, bury these corpses temporarily, and send someone to guard here!" Wait for Zako to send the beheaded, and then bury these people! ”

Before she wanted to kill Za Kecha, she had to list all the crimes of Za Kecha clearly, so as to win the trust of the people, after all, Quanzhou Mansion would become the nominal jurisdiction of her county lord, and Yuan Huizong also ordered her to stabilize this important economic town, and the taxes paid by Fu and Zhejiang provinces to the imperial court could alleviate the huge deficit in the imperial treasury in recent years.

Za Kecha is a thorn in the heart of Yuan Huizong, and he must be justified and punished by one, and he can only be killed, and in Quanzhou Mansion, Za Kecha has many murders connected, involving many officials and generals in Fuzhejiang Province.

Xianglan'er was sixteen years old, but at this time she thought very clearly, and collecting evidence to eliminate these corrupt officials and the party members of the Toktok line, it was obviously much better than killing only one person.

"Yes, Lord of the Counties! But why did you allow the mother and son to take care of your trip? Zhao Qing immediately agreed, and signaled to his heralds to give orders according to the orders of the county lord, and then asked another question.

"Zhao Qing! That young man was a direct witness to my being sent by the officers and soldiers of Zakocha, and they were also the survivors of this village, that is, the bitter lord here, and that young man also knew my life-saving benefactor, Mr. Lu, so I would agree to their request for these two points! ”

"Her mother was anxious to get their family's ancestral belongings back, and that was right! Moreover, that mother had a good heart, and innocently asked us to bury those villagers as a condition for me to testify, although it was quite disrespectful to me! But it's pitiful! Speaking of this, Xiang Lan'er couldn't help but sigh.

Zhao Qing looked at Xianglan'er in the car window, although there was a curtain blocking it to see it really, but his heart still couldn't help but wave, although this Xianglan'er county lord was named the county lord of Dayuan, but her identity was the descendant of Shi Tianzedi, the right prime minister of the court, who was not only beautiful, but also had the wisdom and talent of his ancestors, otherwise he would not have been so valued by Yuan Huizong, and sent to solve the matter of Quanzhou, so this general who was about thirty years old couldn't help but feel admiration in his heart.

Seeing that Zhao Qing didn't react, Xiang Lan'er said again: "Zhao Qianhu, when the mother and son come out of the village, invite them to come and ride with me!" ”

"County Lord! How does this work? You are a daughter, how can you ride in the same car with lowly civilians, absolutely not! Zhao Qing was immediately shocked in his heart, although he did not mean to despise the people in his heart, but the dignified county lord was under his protection, and he actually rode in the same car with the grass people, which is really unreasonable.

"Needless to say! I still have something to ask them, can't I get out of the car and walk with them, right? Xiang Lan'er sighed and said.

"Yes! Princess. Zhao Qing nodded helplessly and said, but he thought in his heart: "Both civilians can be invited into the car to ride, if the county lord can also invite me into the car, it would be great!" I couldn't help but be a little stunned for a while.

Shang Yu hugged those books tightly in his arms, with thousands of thoughts in his heart, and said in his heart: "It turns out that these books left to me by my master are not afraid of fire, and they have been burned for nearly an hour, but it is a pity that my mother only found out that only half of the family heirloom was burned!" ”

Shang Meishi kept shedding tears, and in the bumpy car, her tears fell on the half-black wood chip in her hand holding two fingers long.

The piece of wood was broken from it, and there was a faint pattern on it, but since it had been burned beyond recognition, it was not known what it was.

"County Lord, the front will soon enter the Quanzhou Mansion, I will immediately send someone to take over the four city gates, and I will escort you into the city to capture the rebel later!" Zhao Qing said loudly outside the carriage.

Xiang Lan'er nodded, lifted the curtain and said: "Zhao Qianhu, act quickly, immediately send troops into the city, and surround the house of Za Kecha, I will personally let him come out to be bound, do you understand?" ”

Zhao Qing's heart sank, and he said in his heart: "The county lord clearly wants to stand up in front of the people of the city, and refuses to let me, a general, take away her reputation, she really thinks about it carefully!" ”

"Yes, county lord!" Zhao Qing immediately went down and ordered the soldiers to split up.

This time he brought a total of 2,000 troops, the elite of Longwang Town almost poured out, such a trivial matter as controlling the city gate is naturally not a problem, and it is impossible for the soldiers in the city to resist, Xianglan'er is ordered by the emperor to come south, if it resists, it will be regarded as an accomplice, and the crime will kill the ten clans (the killing of the ten clans is one of the characteristic criminal codes of the Yuan Dynasty).

"Shang Mei's family, after entering the city, I will temporarily arrange for you to stay in the Yamen of the City Bo Division, and after the case is closed after the punishment of Za Ke and his people is concluded, I will make proper arrangements for you, don't cry!" Xiang Lan'er herself was only a sixteen-year-old girl, but she had to comfort Shang Mei's family.

From Shang Mei's mouth, I learned that the black piece of wood is a symbol of identity handed down by the ancestors of the merchant, and there will be no damage to the knife and axe, but it is afraid of water and fire, so it has always been placed in the merchant's wooden cabinet for collection, but now it has been burned by a fire and only the fragments remain, Shang Mei feels ashamed of his ancestors, and he also feels that he can't explain to his husband who left the Western Regions, so he will cry non-stop.

And although the books in Shang Yu's arms also made Xiang Lan'er a little curious, as the county lord, she couldn't show too much curiosity about the things of civilians, and the most important thing for her now was to control Quanzhou and take down Za Kecha and others with the power of thunder.

"Thank you, Lord Shire! You must avenge all the unjust deaths of the villagers in the village of the people's women! Shang Mei wept and immediately knelt down in the car to salute Xianglan'er.

Zakocha walked around the study like an ant on a hot pot, and the five chasing soldiers sent out of the city had already returned four ways, so it seemed that only this last way could catch the two red turban thieves.

However, the search for Xianglan'er in the city has never been fruitful, which makes him break out in a cold sweat all over his body.

At this moment, the man who was searching for Xianglan'er in the city broke into the study.

"A Thousand Households...... My lord! Big things are not good. When he entered, he sat down on the ground and hissed out to Zakocha.

"What's going on? Could it be that the woman could not escape? Zakocha immediately asked angrily, and his body couldn't help but tremble again, he still didn't dare to say that the woman was the county lord.

He also knew that because of a mistake made by his subordinates, he actually aimed at the county lord and killed the county lord's close attendants.

"My lord, Lord Zhao of Longwang Town took over the four city gates with the soldiers, and announced that he was ordered by the county lord to take over all military command matters in Quanzhou Mansion, I learned this news in the process of searching for that woman, Lord Zhao has entered the city with the soldiers and is coming towards your house, please think of a way!" The hundred-hundred-household immediately shouted in despair.

Usually majestic, he used the power of Zakocha to get what he wanted in the city, but now he fell into complete despair.

Za Kecha also sat on the ground with a thud, and shouted in despair: "It must be that Xianglan'er who came out of the city to call for help, and Zhao Qing and I belong to different camps, and this time I will definitely take my place, oh my God!" Am I going to die here? ”

After a pause, Za Kecha suddenly shouted outside the door: "Master! Come on in, you'll find a way to save my life!" ”

"Lord Qianhu, what's wrong? Why are you and the Lord of the Hundred Households sitting on the ground, and what kind of system is this? Why don't you get up with me? A man in a Confucian shirt slowly pushed open the door of the study and walked in, and when he saw the appearance of Chu Kecha and the two, he couldn't help but ask angrily.

Hearing the man's slow words, Zakocha immediately crawled up to the man from the ground and hissed, "Sir, you must save my life!" Here's how it happened...... "I told the man in detail what had happened yesterday at the bazaar."

After listening to Zake's words, the man in the Confucian shirt didn't speak for a long time, and only after a long time did he sigh and say: "I have long advised you not to be too greedy, not to condone your subordinates, the Central Plains is not suitable for the practice of the grassland style of plundering, you never listen to persuasion!" At this time, they asked me for a trick, and if I had listened to me, such a thing would not have happened! ”

Hearing the man's words, Zake couldn't help but ask in despair, "Isn't there anything that Mr. can do?" ”

After the man pondered for a few breaths, a glint flashed in his eyes, and he looked at Zakocha and said, "It's not that there is no way! If you do what I have described, you will be able to save your life for the time being, but you will have to pay a heavy price! ”

"Sir! As long as it can save my life, let me pay any price! What needs to be done, you say? Hearing the man say that there was a way to save his life, Zakocha immediately stood up in surprise, bowed and asked.
