The fourteenth episode of the robbery of Dongting Lake
Mi Qian rowed a boat to carry Gu Sichen, Luo Kun, and Ge Yunxiang away from the Junshan ferry, and when they were far away, they stopped the boat. There was not much time, Daddy Liu's fishing boat caught up, the two boats approached, Daddy Liu said: "The little dragon king asked the old man to come here, what kind of fame do you?" Mi Qian said: "There is an urgent matter, please ask Father Liu for help." Father Liu said: "I can't do anything today anyway, so I should wait for the little dragon king for a while." Mi Qian smiled: "Thank you dad for the success, now please ask my dad to send my two friends to Baling as soon as possible, after the matter is completed, there will be heavy thanks, and your dad will be happy in the second half of his life." Father Liu said: "If you can see the little dragon king walking in the water once, it is enough for the old man." Mi Qian smiled and thanked him, and then invited Ge Yunxiang and Luo Kun to Daddy Liu's boat.
Gu Sichen told Luo Kundao: "Kun'er, Haosheng has taken care of Mr. Ge, and there must be no mistakes." Luo Kun responded: "Master, but please rest assured, there are disciples here, and there will be no mistakes." Ge Yunxiang said on the side: "Today, Brother Gu and Mi Qian went to drag the ambush thieves on Tulong Island, and Ge and Luo Xiaoxia went to Baling to move troops, and the thieves never dreamed that there would be strange soldiers descending from the sky." Luo Kun said with concern: "Master and Brother Mi Xian are in danger here, but you have to be careful." Ge Yunxiang said: "Don't worry, your master is a tiger on land, with the cooperation of Mi Qian, the dragon king in the water, he will not miss lightly, and it won't be long before Baling's reinforcements arrive." Then Father Liu exclaimed: "How many are the masters of the official family, who went to Baling to transfer troops to fight water thieves?" Ge Yunxiang knew that there was no need to hide it at this time, so he said: "The bandits in Dongting can be cut off after today, and the people will no longer suffer from it." Father Liu was pleasantly surprised: "This is the blessing of all the people in Dongting." With a boost of energy, he drove the fishing boat away, and Mi Qian and Gu Sichen also released the boat.
Father Liu drove the boat to carry Ge Yunxiang and Luo Kun, and the boat was speeding all the way, and it was not long before he arrived at Baling, and he already saw the world-famous Yueyang Tower. Luo Kun had no intention of watching, the boat was still more than ten meters away from the shore, and said, "Mr. Ge, I'll go first." The figure jumped up, and galloped away after landing on the ground, Ge Yunxiang and Daddy Liu were surprised when they saw it.
Luo Kun found the official residence of Baling guarding Chang Yudao, and broke in, and the soldiers guarding him saw it and exclaimed: "Take the assassin!" "They all stepped forward to intercept. Luo Kun blocked a stabbing spear with his hand and shouted loudly: "I have something important to ask to see General Chang, don't stop me!" Then he fired his palms together, shattered a row of spears, and did not hurt the soldiers, and then he stopped and leaped, and passed over the heads of the soldiers, and the palace was immediately in chaos.
Luo Kun broke into the door, repelled the soldiers who were close to him, and when he didn't know how to find the Chang Yu Dao, he suddenly heard someone shouting: "Who is bold and dares to break into my mansion?" When Luo Kun turned to look, he saw a middle-aged military attache standing under the eaves on one side, and said, "Is it General Chang?" Then the figure was deceived to the presence of the Tao. Chang Yudao was startled, and reached forward with both hands, wanting to grab Luo Kun's shoulder and arm. Luo Kun's figure shrank and avoided it, and he handed Ge Yunxiang's emergency blood book to Chang Yudao's hand, and said with a salute on the side: "In Xia Luo Kun, on the order of Mr. Ge Yunxiang, I will quickly ask General Chang to send troops to the lake to destroy the thieves." ”
Chang Yu Dao grabbed the air, secretly shouted hello, suddenly heard what Luo Kun said, couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly stopped the soldiers who wanted to come forward to besiege Luo Kun, and anxiously read the blood book. After seeing it, he was taken aback and said, "Where is Mr. Ge?" Luo Kun said: "Now in the boat by the lake, and then arrive, the matter is critical, please send troops quickly." Chang Yu Dao was busy saying to the soldiers: "Beat the drum and raise the tent, and send troops to the lake to exterminate the water thieves." ”
Chang Yudao received Ge Yunxiang's 100,000 urgent blood letter of theft, did not dare to delay, immediately dispatched troops and horses, and ordered the deputy general Cao Gan to lead 500 troops, accompanied by Ge Yunxiang and Luo Kun to send troops to Junshan Langyue Villa, and smashed the thief's nest, and was bound to take the thief Gu Kangzhi, who was nicknamed He Feiyan. Chang Yu Dao personally led 800 sailors to attack Tulong Island, destroy the main force of the water pirates, and rescue Gu Sichen and Mi Qian, who were dragging most of the water pirates. For a time, the whole city of Baling was alarmed, and the people rushed to tell each other, and the fishermen and people in Dongting had suffered very deeply from theft, and now they saw that they had sent troops to catch thieves, and they enthusiastically participated in the war, and spontaneously organized more than 300 young and strong people, armed with sticks and harpoons, and asked to accompany the army to help in the war. Chang Yu was overjoyed when he saw it, so he ordered 100 people to be included in his team, and more than 200 people were under the command of the deputy general Cao Gan. The military situation was urgent, the ships were not in order for a while, and as soon as a notice was posted to recruit ships, dozens of large and small fishing boats had already come to help, and then a cannon rang out, and the two armies were in a hurry.
All the way to Langyue Villa, as soon as they arrived at Junshan Ferry, all the soldiers shouted, rushed ashore, and rushed straight to Langyue Villa, gathering the people to disperse for a while. The thieves of Langyue Mountain Villa never watched out for the sudden arrival of officers and soldiers, and they were caught off guard. The deputy general Cao Gan followed Ge Yunxiang's plan and asked Luo Kun to lead the troops to attack the main gate, and led 300 soldiers to block the back door. Luo Kun first led his troops to attack the Zhuangmen, holding a long stick in his hand, flying around, and all those who blocked fell to the ground. Immediately, there was a sound of killing in Langyue Villa.
Seeing that the incident happened suddenly, Gu Kangzhi, the owner of the village, couldn't help but scream secretly at this time: "Bitter! "It turns out that there are only more than 50 people left in the village who can fight, and most of the manpower has been transferred to Tulong Island. Gu Kangzhi saw that the general trend had gone, and rushed out with more than ten henchmen, never thinking that he would meet Ge Yunxiang head-on. When Gu Kangyi saw Ge Yunxiang and knew that everything was bad on him, he couldn't help but burst his liver and gallbladder, his eyes were red, and he shouted angrily, cut down several soldiers, and pounced on Ge Yunxiang.
That Ge Yunxiang suddenly saw Gu Kangzhi rushing towards him like crazy, and was so frightened that he immediately exclaimed: "Luo Xiaoxia, save me!" The bandit leader Gu Kangzhi is here. When Luo Kun heard the sound, he saw that Gu Kangzhi rushed to Ge Yunxiang desperately, and before he could come close to save him, the long stick immediately flew out of his hand, and the end of the stick was on Gu Kangzhi's waist and eye, Gu Kangzhi immediately fell forward, unable to move, and several sergeants immediately rushed forward and tied Gu Kangzhi firmly. Ge Yunxiang was already pale with fright at this time, and he had no blood, and it took a long time to recover. Gu Kangzhi was captured, the thieves in the village, the trees fell and scattered, and they were captured one after another. Cao Gan ordered people to tie up the men, women, and children in the village together, wait for the delivery, and then seize the property in the village. Luo Kun saw that Langyue Villa had been flattened, and was worried about the safety of Master and Mi Qian on Tulong Island, so he said goodbye to Ge Yunxiang and Cao Gan and went to reinforce them. Cao Gan ordered a hundred soldiers to accompany him and obeyed Luo Kun's command, Luo Kun was anxious, ran to the ferry and got on the boat, urging the soldiers to rush forward.
At this time, in a hidden cave in Langyue Villa, a large number of gold, silver and jewelry were found, scattered all over the ground, obviously in a hurry, and it was too late to transport it away, which shocked Cao Gan and the soldiers. That Cao Gan scolded: "Mom's! I don't know how many ships have been robbed to reach so much? Then he ordered: "Strictly count the points, seal all the points, do not hide privately, and violators will be severely punished." ”
Ge Yunxiang was in Gu Kangzhi's study at this time to help seal the deed papers, and accidentally saw something different on a wall, so he ordered someone to dig it open, and found that it was a sandwich wall, and there was nothing else in it, only a thick scroll. Ge Yunxiang took it out and flipped through it casually, was suddenly startled, hurriedly turned around and dismissed everyone, closed the door of the study, and read it page by page. This is a roster of water thieves in Dongting, with detailed records of who the surname is, where the family lives, when they participated in what trade, and how much they share the stolen goods. Suddenly, he saw a few names, which really surprised Ge Yunxiang, and when he turned around, he saw that there was no one left and right, so he picked up the pen and crossed it out. Looking back, he saw a few familiar names, Ge Yunxiang pondered for a while, and then flipped through them casually, and some of them crossed out without thinking, but the crossed out names and records were forced to be memorized in his mind, and after reading it, he shook his head and put this roster into his arms.
Ge Yunxiang looked around in the study again, and occasionally saw a picture scroll hanging on one side of the wall. Ge Yunxiang hesitated for a moment at this time, and when he saw that there was no one around, he gritted his teeth suddenly, made up his mind, stepped forward and took it off and rolled it up, lifted the robe, tied it to his calf, and then took out the roster from his arms, crossed out the name of one of Gu Kang's nephews, nodded and said to himself: "You are guilty of destroying the door, take a picture of you today, and save your relatives." He hid the roster in his arms, and then walked out of the study with peace of mind, and said to the busy people in the courtyard: "Check carefully, don't lose anything." ”
Gu Kangzhi and the others in the village had been bound in the courtyard at this time, and when they saw Ge Yunxiang passing by, Gu Kangzhi shouted: "Ge Yunxiang, Gu usually treats you well, why do you harm me like this?" When Ge Yunxiang heard this, he stopped, shook his head and sighed: "Gu Kangzhi, Ge Mou once thought of having a good relationship with you, so he came to the door to persuade him, hoping that you would change your mind and repent from now on. Now, General Chang Yudao's soldiers and horses may have annihilated all the ambushes you set up, and you have such an end today, which is also the bitter fruit of your own family for thieves, and others can't be blamed. Gu Kangzhi was shocked when he heard this, knowing that everything was exposed, he was angry and anxious, opened his mouth and scolded angrily, and the soldiers guarding him hurriedly stopped with sticks. Ge Yunxiang shook his head and strode away.
Langyue Villa was captured by officers and soldiers, and the people of Junshan came to watch, never thought that the water thieves' nest on Dongting Lake was actually in Langyue Villa, and the thief He Feiyan was actually the owner of the village, Gu Kangzhi, and the people were surprised, and they talked about it for a while. An old man shook his head and sighed: "That Gu Kangzhi doesn't plow or plant, even if he takes over his ancestors' furniture, he won't be so magnificent, and he dares to rob him, so he can't live by his own doing." A young man said angrily: "The one who was killed with a thousand knives has been hidden by him for a long time, and over the years, I don't know how many people he has killed." Another humanitarian: "Water thieves have harmed the lake for many years, and now they have been eradicated, it is really very happy, this time I heard that it is Mr. Ge Yunxiang of Gejia Village, Shazhou Island, who reported to the official, and led the troops to copy the Langyue Villa, Mr. Ge is the place to remove this great harm, and the merit is immeasurable!" Another person said: "I heard that Master Ge Yunxiang and that Gu Kangzhi also have good dealings on weekdays, and this move must be that Master Ge Yunxiang discovered Gu Kang's criminal deeds, and pretended to make friends before, and only after finding out the details did he kill his relatives and sue the official." The onlookers nodded yes.
At this time, a second man who sold meat said next to him: "Gu Kangzhi should be killed as a thief, but Master Ge usually drinks and travels with him, and he is like a brother, since he reports to the official, why bother to lead troops to copy people in person, I don't think this Master Ge is an authentic person." This remark caused a person to say angrily: "Mr. Ge Yunxiang should take the lead in eliminating thieves and eliminating local harms, you talk like this, but what does it have to do with those water thieves?" Have you done one or two harmful things? Another said: "It must have been the benefit of Gu Kangzhi and colluded with the water thieves, I said, your pork boat has never been robbed on the lake, it should be a gang, right?" Seeing that his casual words aroused the anger of the public, the two men shrank their heads and squatted aside and didn't dare to make a sound. Those who had received the benefits of Langyue Villa on weekdays were afraid of being implicated and hurriedly avoided them. Cao Gan was afraid that someone would take advantage of the chaos to rob and leave, so he ordered the sergeants to strictly guard the gate of the village, strictly prohibiting entry and exit, and waiting for the arrival of the soldiers and horses.
Let's say that Luo Kun led a hundred soldiers to reinforce in the direction of Tulong Island by boat, and saw from a distance that the flags on the ships were fluttering, and the officers and soldiers were escorting the prisoners on the big boats. Luo Kun looked around, but he didn't see the figures of Master Gu Sichen and Mi Qian, and he couldn't help but feel anxious. Chang Yu Dao saw Luo Kun leading troops to help, and hurriedly took a boat to greet him, the two greeted each other, and Chang Yu Dao heard that Langyue Villa had been decided, and the thief Gu Kangzhi was captured, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed. Luo Kun then asked about the master and Mi Qian, and Chang Yudao admired: "Gu Daxia's martial arts are strong, so that the three armies are respected, when the general led the troops to come, he saw Gu Daxia and a young man, fighting fiercely with more than 100 strongmen on the water and underwater, and they had already dragged the group of thieves. The general then ordered the ships to surround and annihilate, and the group of thieves saw the sudden arrival of the army, and fled in all directions, except for two bandits who escaped with their lives in a small boat, the rest of the thieves were all annihilated or captured, and none of them left. In order to avoid future troubles, Gu Daxia greeted the general, and chased down with the young man by boat. ”
After hearing this, Luo Kun was busy checking among the captured water pirates, and he didn't see Liu Song and Di Biao, and asked the direction of the master's pursuit, so he wanted to go. Chang Yudao was busy ordering a man who was good at making oars to sail the boat, equipped a light boat and a fast boat, carried Luo Kun away quickly, and then ordered fifty sergeants to take two large boats and then follow up and support.
Luo Kun chased a few miles by speedboat, and saw three small boats in front of him, and two people were lying on their backs on one of the small boats, obviously they were blocked and couldn't move. The other boat had capsized in the water, and Gu Sichen was on top of it, confronting a horse-faced man on the other boat. Luo Kun couldn't help but be shocked at this time, because that person was the person who drove the boat with his legs at a ferry crossing by the lake a few days ago, and he was surprised in his heart: "It seems that this person is the iron water eagle respected by the group of thieves." ”
At this time, I saw that the iron water eagle turned its legs, and drove the boat to attack Gu Sichen, Gu Sichen stood on top of the overturned boat, and his feet were already unstable, and the iron water eagle boat fluctuated, and the overturned ship was even more swaying. Gu Sichen was in a hurry, and jumped up on tiptoe, but fell towards the bow of the iron water eagle. Seeing this, the molten iron eagle was startled and raised his leg to kick. Gu Sichen was in mid-air, and saw that the molten iron eagle kicked up to block the falling place, because he saw that this person actually drove the boat with his legs, knowing that the leg strength was abnormal, he didn't dare to bear it, and his body turned over in the air, and fell obliquely to the side of the boat, and the two fingers of his right hand buckled on the side of the boat, and his body was horizontal, and his left foot immediately hit the edge of the boat, and he stabilized his body outside the boat. The Iron Water Eagle kicked into the air, and suddenly saw the opponent's figure flip and fall, and he was immediately startled when he was pressed against the edge of the boat.
Gu Sichen waited for his body to stabilize, and the sword finger of his left hand rushed out, sealing the Sanli acupoint on the outside of the calf of the iron water eagle. Seeing this, the molten iron eagle was shocked, immediately put his right leg on his left, avoided the momentum, and then twisted his waist and legs, and actually drove the boat in place. Gu Sichen saw that he couldn't stop, especially in danger, so he had to turn the boat sharply to get rid of his momentum, and flew up with a beat of the ship's strings, and his body turned in the air, and the three treads of water fell towards the bow of the boat that was coming from this side and Luo Kun was riding. One step on the tip of the foot, the second step on the bottom of the foot, the third step on the water to soak the edge of the right foot, and the left foot has landed on the bow of the boat. When the molten iron eagle saw it, he couldn't help but blurt out and praise: "What a swallow sweeping the water three times!" When he saw that reinforcements were coming, he drove the boat with his legs and galloped away.
Gu Sichen stood on the bow of the boat, and when he saw the iron water eagle going away, he shook his head and sighed: "This person's legs have divine power, and he can't help him on the water, so let him go." Luo Kun saw that his master was safe and sound, and his heart was relieved, and then he asked urgently: "Master, can you see Mi Qian?" Gu Sichen was stunned and said: "I sealed the acupoints of the two strongmen who wanted to escape, the boat capsized and fell into the water, Mi Qian went to the water to pick up the two of them, where did they go now?" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly saw the light boat of the departed molten iron eagle swinging violently on the water, and stopped, as if it had tripped under the water. The molten iron eagle spun around several times with his legs, and could not break free, and could not help but be furious, and stepped on it violently, and actually shook the boat it was on, and then jumped on a board, and his body rose and fell, and he stepped on the pedal and skied away. Then he saw the water splashing on the lake, Mi Qian appeared from the water, and when he saw the iron water eagle escaping away, he shook his head and swam back. Luo Kun was overjoyed to see it.
Gu Sichen smiled at this time: "Your friend, he really has good skills in the water, before the officers and soldiers arrived, he overturned seven or eight thief boats in the water, thanks to his strategy in the water, otherwise it would be difficult for the division to deal with those water thieves on the water." Mi Qian swam to the side of the boat at this time, and Luo Kun happily pulled him up. Mi Qian shook his head again and again: "It's a pity, it's a pity, let that weird man run away." Gu Sichen said with a smile: "One is an osprey on the water, and the other is a dragon in the water, which can be regarded as a tie." Mi Qian wiped the water on his face and said: "This strange man is so powerful, seeing that I was rocking the boat in the water, I couldn't break free for a while, in order to get away as soon as possible, he actually broke the hull of the boat and picked a piece of the boat." ”
Gu Sichen exclaimed: "It is rare to drive a boat with legs, and it is rare to glide on the water with leg strength and skill with a wooden plank, but I have never heard of it, which shows that the skills of strange people on the rivers and lakes are often beyond our imagination." At this time, the two warships behind rushed up, tied up Liu Song and Di Biao, and everyone then drove the boat back. When Gu Sichen heard that Langyue Villa had been decided, and Gu Kangzhi was captured, he put his mind at ease, shook his head and sighed: "That Gu Kangzhi is also a famous man in Dongting, but unfortunately he went astray, so that he invited this disaster of killing himself and destroying the door. ”
When it converged with Chang Yu Dao's warships, Chang Yu Dao was especially grateful to Gu Sichen, Luo Kun, and Mi Qian for their assistance in suppressing bandits and exterminating thieves, so he invited Yu Yu to sit on the main ship. The fleet went all the way to the Junshan ferry, and the people heard that all the water thieves had been exterminated on the lake, and they celebrated and lined up to greet each other. Chang Yudao appointed soldiers to escort Gu Kangzhi and other prisoners onto the ship, and ordered the deputy general Cao Gan to lead the troops to garrison Langyue Villa, all the property was strictly sealed, waiting for the delivery, and invited Gu Sichen, Ge Yunxiang, Luo Kun, and Mi Qian to return to Baling together to record and collect evidence. Chang Yu saw that there were many prisoners, and Gu Kangzhi included, fearing that there would be changes on the way, he invited Gu Sichen, Luo Kun, and Mi Qian to guard the prisoner ship, and the rest of the ships were arranged around to escort them. Gu Kangzhi saw the captured group of thieves, sighed, and closed his eyes silently.
Chang Yudao said some words of gratitude to Ge Yunxiang in the main cabin, and Chang Yudao was troubled by the many thieves in the Dongting, and he was especially happy to see them all in one fell swoop. Ge Yunxiang saw that there was no one left and right at this time, so he took out the roster from his arms, handed it forward and said: "General Chang has made a great contribution today, Ge is now the same thing as the general, and he will make another miraculous achievement." Chang Yudao took the list and was shocked to see that of the more than 200 people listed on the list, 1670 people have been arrested today, and 30 or 40 people have not been arrested. Ge Yunxiang offered a plan: "This time, although most of the nets are in trouble, I am afraid that some fish will escape when they hear the news, without further ado, the grass must be eradicated, as long as people are arrested according to the roster, nothing is missing." Chang Yudao nodded yes, and immediately ordered more than ten of his own soldiers to go to the prisoner ship to ask the surnames of the group of thieves one by one, as well as the names and surnames of the water thieves who were killed in the first battle of the lake and the mountain villa.
Gu Kangzhi saw that the officers and soldiers had not been tried and were anxious to ask the names of the thieves first, and his heart couldn't help but feel cold, he understood what was going on, and knew that everything was over. Chang Yudao compared the surnames of the captured thieves with the roster one by one, listed the remaining thirty-eight people, called the confidants, each with soldiers, and immediately set off by boat to arrest the people according to the order. I often see people who are crossed out on the roster with heavy strokes, but I don't care, thinking that they are the first to die in the thief.
When I arrived in Baling, the city was full of sensations, and the people rushed to see it, and the people's hearts were happy. Some people saw acquaintances among the captured thieves, who were either friends or relatives and friends, and they couldn't help but be frightened, hiding their faces and retreating sharply, fearing that they would be affected. That Chang Yu Dao was also shrewd, and knew that the case was serious, so he was divided into a court overnight for an urgent trial, and quickly reported to Changsha Taishou Zhu Weiqing. Changsha Mansion immediately shook, while showing the court, while sending officials to rush to Baling for jury. Before dawn the next day, the soldiers who had gone out to catch the men with them returned with their own men, but not one of them escaped, and they always rejoiced in the way, and shared the rewards of the all. These criminals who were arrested later began to shout that they had been wronged, and denied in every possible way, and were often furious, and ordered the men to read aloud the crimes committed by each of them according to the records of the list, and then the thieves were frightened and confessed their sins.
Gu Kangzhi saw that the general trend had gone, so he confessed one by one. After the trial, it was learned that the Gu family's ancestral residence in the sixth Dongting, the world was a thief, and "the Dongting was a thief every ten years", which was done by the Gu family. However, when he arrived at Gu Kangzhi's father, Gu Baichuan, he had accumulated a lot of wealth, and he was tired of the life of water thieves, so he secretly washed his hands in the golden basin, changed his evil and returned to the right, and tried his best to cultivate Gu Kangzhi's learning and etiquette, and traveled with celebrities, wanting to cut off the root of Gu's bandits from now on, so that his descendants could live with peace of mind. I never thought that Gu Baichuan would die, Gu Kangzhi was still like a good person in the first few years, talking about poetry and papers, and making some elegant rhymes. Later, he accidentally discovered the surnames and contact methods listed on the "Hero Roster" that Gu Baichuan forgot to burn. Gu Kangzhi's curiosity was great, according to the list listed, recruited the old department of the Gu family, under the pseudonym He Feiyan, and started a water piracy, because of the generous and generous owner of Langyue Villa as a cover, he made friends with celebrities, and no one has been able to see through his true face for many years, but he never thought that it was planted in the hands of his best friend Ge Yunxiang, which was also because of the evil.
As for the iron water eagle, after interrogating Gu Kangzhi, I learned that this person was a Dongting monk who was favored by Gu Kangzhi's father Gu Baichuan in his early years, and he also did water piracy when he was young, and then he washed his hands and didn't dry it, not listed in the list recorded by Gu Kangzhi, let alone worked with Gu Kangzhi, this time it was to repay Gu Baichuan's kindness back then, so he took action for Gu Kangzhi, although he was not an accomplice, but he was also guilty of aiding the thief. According to the address provided by Gu Kangzhi, when he was often arrested in a fishing village on a small island in Daofabing Lake, the house was already empty, and he didn't know the whereabouts of the molten iron eagle.
According to the confessions recorded in the register and the confessions of each person, according to the circumstances of the 217 thieves arrested, 143 were ambushed, and the rest were sentenced to heavy imprisonment. The servants, maids and female dependents of Langyue Villa were all dismissed or officially sold, and all their property and the villa were confiscated as stolen goods. The text was reported to Changsha Mansion, and Changsha Mansion asked the imperial court, under the emperor's decree, and the officials of Zhun Baling were sentenced to often have meritorious service in suppressing bandits in the road, and promoted the garrison of Changsha, and the rest of the meritorious people were rewarded. Especially for Ge Yunxiang, a famous man in Dongting, because he discovered the theft and reported it, he was rewarded heavily, in addition to the golden silk, the entire Langyue Villa was also rewarded to him.
Gu Sichen, Luo Kun, and Mi Qian also got their own rewards, and the medicine king master and apprentice did not accept it, and gave the bounty to Mi Qian, but Mi Qian couldn't refuse, so he had to thank him. Mi Qian then divided 10% of the bounty to Daddy Liu, who drove Ge Yunxiang and Luo Kun to Baling to move troops, but Daddy Liu was not blessed, and guarded a lot of silver, so happy that he didn't know how to spend the money, and he was so happy and sad that he died with a whimper. Because Daddy Liu has no children and no daughters, he left it to his nephew, who usually doesn't get along, that kid was a bastard poor bastard, but since he got Daddy Liu's legacy, he has become more and more arrogant.
Although Ge Yunxiang got the big Langyue Villa, he was very empty in his heart, he didn't dare to move his home around, and it was not easy to sell it, knowing that the master and apprentice of the Medicine King were two individual visitors who traveled the world, and it was inconvenient to give them away, so he simply gave them to Mi Qian for nothing, and made a big favor. Mi Qian became the owner of Langyue Villa for a while, so he took Mi On, and the grandfather and grandson happily moved in. Gu Sichen also praised Ge Yunxiang's move, and the master and apprentice lived in Gejia Village for a few days, because Luo Kun was worried about Mi Qian. The master and apprentice said goodbye to Ge Yunxiang and went to Langyue Villa in Miqian, Ge Yunxiang kept a few words, and they went.
As soon as the master and apprentice of the medicine king left, Ge Yunxiang wrote seven or eight invitations, inviting guests to get together, each of them came, but they were only invited to talk behind closed doors in the study, and when those people left Gejia Village, they were all panicked. Within a few days, they all brought a few boatloads of gifts to visit Ge Yunxiang, and Mr. Ge said something like not having to be so polite, and those who came did not refuse and accepted them all. Since then, those people have bowed their heads in front of Ge Yunxiang, and they have only promised, and they have ships carrying generous gifts during the New Year's Festival, but Ge Yunxiang has not done anything excessive, and the family business has become more and more prosperous.
After Mi Qian lived in Langyue Villa, he invited some poor fishermen who he knew on weekdays to live with him, and those people were fortunate enough to enjoy the great wealth, and they were grateful, and they all regarded Mi Qian as the owner and master, and called Mi Qian an old lady. However, when Mion saw that these people had arrived at the village, they all gave up their previous livelihood and became a guest in the village, and he was unhappy, and his family still went to the lake to fish every day. Mi Qian then invited an old friend named Lu Yuheng to be the housekeeper. That Lu Xiucai also has some ability to govern the family, and within a few days of coming, he managed the village in an orderly manner, added some servants, maid rings, and prepared some things for those Zhuang guests to do, those who do well will be rewarded, and those who are unfavorable will be punished, and the whole village will be in awe of him. When Mi Qian saw it, he was happy in his heart, and he was happy to be an idle fairy, and when he had nothing to do, he checked this Langyue Villa, which already belonged to him, inside and out.
On this day, Mi Qian drank tea with Steward Lu in the hall and discussed what to do in the future, so as not to let a Zhuang person sit and eat empty, especially recently, and there are some people who know each other on weekdays. At this time, the doorman came to report, and Gu Sichen and Luo Kun came to visit. Mi Qian said happily when he heard this: "I just settled down in the past two days, and I was about to send a boat to pick it up, but I didn't expect Brother Luo and them to come first." He got up and wanted to run out to greet him, but suddenly stopped and said: "No, no, now is not as grand as in the past, and the etiquette should be more solemn." He turned to the housekeeper and said, "Brother Lu, there are two important friends from outside the village, you and I can be the main tea here, it is all the work of the two of them to eliminate the thieves, and they must be welcomed in a way." Steward Lu was shocked when he heard this: "He is not only a hero who destroys thieves, but also a friend of the master, so he will welcome him as a great gift, and leave everything to me." "Mi Qian is overjoyed.
Gu Sichen and Luo Kun waited in front of the village gate of Langyue Villa for a while, and suddenly saw the village door wide open, and a group of people ran out of chaos. Seeing a middle-aged man solemnly walking out of it, Gu Sichen saw it, and said in his heart: "Could it be that Langyue Villa has changed its owner again?" Luo Kun was also confused.
At this time, I saw that the man was halfway there, and suddenly stood next to him, and shouted uprightly: "Welcome to the distinguished guest, the owner of the rice village has arrived." Only then did he see Mi Qian come out in a white robe, and after walking a few steps, he couldn't help but cheer: "Brother Luo!" Mr. Gu! Then he flew over. The master and apprentice of the Medicine King came back to their senses and laughed at each other. Luo Kun smiled at Mi Qian, who ran closer: "The owner of Mi Zhuang is so majestic, putting on such a big show, don't learn from Gu Kangzhi to be a strong man, otherwise as long as you drill into Dongting Lake, no one in the world will be able to hold you." Mi Qian's face turned red, and he said embarrassedly: "Brother Luo and Mr. Gu smiled, I wanted to welcome you ceremoniously, but who knew that such a situation would be made." Then he enthusiastically let the medicine king's master and apprentice into the village. Seeing that the Zhuang guests were not in a unit, the steward of Lu knew that it was necessary to strengthen training in the future, otherwise it would be really embarrassing, so he waved his hand and ordered everyone to disperse.
Mi Qian invited Gu Sichen and Luo Kun to sit in the hall, that is, a servant offered tea, Gu Sichen saw that Langyue Villa was already a newcomer for the old master, and he was not only emotional, but also relieved. Mi Qian dismissed the servant at this time, closed the door of the hall, turned around and said: "I am going to send a boat to pick up Brother Luo and Mr. Gu in the past two days, because there is one thing, the two of you can't say it, and I ask Mr. Gu to have an idea." When Gu Sichen heard this, he was slightly surprised: "What's the matter with Mi Gongzi?" But it doesn't hurt to talk about it. ”
Mi Qian said softly: "Yesterday I found a cave in the village, which was originally the place where Gu Kangzhi used to hide the stolen goods, but now it has been searched by the officers and soldiers. The cave is also deeper, and at the end there is a pool of two meters square, which I thought was a little strange and wanted to explore its depth. Who knew that after diving three or four meters, in the darkness I felt that there was a hole in the cave that was open to other places, so I swam five or six meters in front of the hole, and finally found that there was a wide water cellar in front of me, there was a hidden glowing thing, as if there were things stored, touched by hand, each with its own shape, different weights, it can be described as innumerable. I also groped for an iron box, and put it aside, knowing that something was wrong, and I didn't dare to move it, but I took something and came up. ”
After Mi Qian finished speaking, he took a red cloth bag from the wooden cabinet next to him, and when he opened it on the table, there was a gold ingot inside. Gu Sichen held it up and took a closer look, and couldn't help but be surprised: "This is an ingot of barefoot fine gold, and the fineness is really rare." Luo Kun was surprised on the side: "It turns out that the virtuous brother has found a treasure!" Gu Sichen said: "Hearing about the Gu family's case, his ancestor was a thief in the sixth generation, it seems that the treasure in this water cellar is hidden by Gu Kangzhi's ancestors, and he doesn't know that there is another water hole in the cave." Mi Qian said: "There are many other things in the water cellar, and the number is very rich, and the younger generation sees this very much, and does not dare to move it, so I ask Mr. Gu to take an idea." Gu Sichen sighed: "This is the will of God, this treasure is not given to Gu Kangzhi, let alone Ge Yunxiang, just let you find out, and according to what you said, the water hole in this water cellar is tortuous, ordinary people can't get in and out, Mi Gongzi is kind-hearted, so God only gives it to you, and you can collect it." ”
Luo Kun said happily on the side: "Congratulations to the virtuous brother, you have won Langyue Villa, and you have found such a treasure, and you will become a rich man in the future." Mi Qian shook his head and said: "This is the wealth accumulated by the ancestors of the Gu family for theft, I don't know how many lives are in it, I have a private monopoly, and I can't bear it." When Gu Sichen heard this, he praised it in his heart, so he said: "Wealth is destined to be a thing, you can't take it if you want to, you can't throw it away, and now the Dongting robbery is just over, and Mi Gongzi is the new owner of Langyue Villa, and there are many unpredictable things that will happen." At this moment, this matter must not be made public, so as not to cause trouble, Mi Gongzi but this wealth to help the world to help the poor, but also follow the way of heaven. ”
Mi Qian said: "In this case, I have the right to keep it, there is a strange iron box in it, I don't know what is inside?" Tomorrow but get it up, let's see it fresh. Mi Qian then set up a banquet to entertain the master and apprentice of the Medicine King, and thanked him for the bounty of exterminating the thieves, and he was indifferent to Gu Sichen and Luo Kun for fame and fortune, and regarded money as if there was nothing.
