After Zheng Zhutou arrived at the state office yesterday afternoon, he reported the news to Lord Zhou. At first, Lord Zhou suspected that Zheng Zhutou was bragging indiscriminately in order to invite merit, and asked three times, Zheng Zhutou firmly said that this was indeed the case, and now there are few of the more than 600 bandits who have been shot, and He Zhiyuan's family team is unharmed. He also added that Ho's Jiading team was stronger than any regular army he had seen.

It wasn't until then that Zhou Tai believed it was true. He was also overjoyed, you must know that an official of his age has mediocre political performance, and there are only two ways to go to Nanjing to find an idle job and retire. Now that the suppression of bandits has been successful, if the operation is good, it is still possible to find a fifth prefect after serving another term with this political achievement.

He immediately said that he would immediately lead the soldiers to assist, and Zheng Zhutou had no choice but to say to Lord Zhou: "My lord, the little one also said this when he left, but then He Gongzi said that he didn't want us to help, and those war profits would be used as his military expenses for sending troops." ”

When Lord Zhou heard this, he said embarrassedly: "I will give him some war profits, after all, He Gongzi has contributed to my Yizhou this time." ”

Zheng Zhutou hurriedly curryed favor with Jia Biaogong and said: "It's not all the credit of He Gongzi, if it weren't for the great man's strategic planning, foresight, and giving him the order to clear out the bandits, where would he have such a great credit." I also slashed three or four bandits on the battlefield. ”

When Lord Zhou heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, and he looked at Zheng Zhutou blinking without talking, and wondered in his heart, even if you look timid, you dare to fight with bandits and deceive ghosts.

In fact, what Zheng Zhutou said was also true, he did kill three or four bandits in Tiger Leaping Valley, but they were all wounded, and there was really nothing to brag about.

Seeing that Lord Zhou didn't answer his words, Zheng Zhutou knew that Lord Zhou was suspicious of his words, and added: "Although the bandits I slashed and killed were injured, they still have combat effectiveness. ”

Saying this, Lord Zhou's brows furrowed, and he no longer doubted it. This is in line with the characteristics of Zheng Zhutou, and fighting with the wind has always been his specialty.

Seeing that Lord Zhou's brows were stretched, Zheng Zhutou came up with another idea and said: "My lord, when cleaning the battlefield, He Gongzi cut off the heads of those bandits, which is estimated to be no less than five hundred. There is definitely not a small amount of food in the cottage, and there are not many vehicles brought by He Gongzi, so he will definitely not be able to transport it back, so why don't you help him. ”

Mr. Zhou understood and immediately notified the inspection department to prepare the car, wait for the notice, and be ready to set off at any time.

Early the next morning, Lord Zhou took a group of officials and dozens of officials to the Luoquanzhuang Coal Mine.

That's why there was a scene of Zhou Daren going to the coal mine to greet He Zhiyuan's triumph.

Hearing this, many gentry in the city and in Luoquanzhuang also came to greet them, after all, these people are usually harassed by these bandits. The coal bosses in the Black Rock Mountain, and even the numb miners also came to the coal yard below the mountain to greet He Zhiyuan's arrival.

Both sides of the road were crowded with people, and everyone crowded there to see the heads of these bandits, to see the heroes who defeated the bandits. After Lord Zhou greeted He Zhiyuan, he began to carefully observe this unit, and found that as Zheng Zhutou said, no one was injured, and the old man was even more surprised. That look seemed to see a group of divine generals.

Lord Zhou carefully looked at the heads of the bandits piled up in the cart again, his beard was raised high with excitement, and he asked loudly: "Gongzi He, the bandits in Heishizhai are all yours."

Cleaned up? ”

He Zhiyuan patted a tall white horse that had just been captured, and said loudly: "The blessing of Lord Zhizhou, not a single one has been missed!" ”

"No one in your department was injured?"

"There were no casualties!"

Lord Zhou gasped, and secretly said Is this really a heavenly soldier descending to earth? Even if it's a regular army, it can't win more with less without being unscathed, right?

He Zhiyuan's family is like a brave warrior, which makes Lord Zhou's face very embarrassed. He looked at the officials and gentry on the left and right, and saw that they all looked surprised and admired. Obviously, when he received He Zhiyuan a few days ago, he was too careless, but now He Zhiyuan has returned victorious, but he has been unable to step down.

Looking at the embarrassed Lord Zhou, He Zhiyuan decided to embarrass him again. So he continued: "This time, the bandits also caught a bandit who was very well hidden, and I captured him alive along with Wang Heitou. ”

After speaking, he said to Ma Wu beside him: "Bring Boss Luo over and let Lord Zhou take a look." ”

"Boss Luo? Which Luo boss? Lord Zhou's heart sank and he asked in surprise. He immediately thought of Luo Juncai, he heard that this person had something to do with bandits, he pretended to be confused, and he didn't bother to care about it. And in the past two years, he has not taken the benefits of this Boss Luo! If these things come out, there will be no good fruit for him!

"It's Luo Juncai from Luo Quanzhuang!" He Zhiyuan said.

Hearing this, Lord Zhou confirmed his suspicions, and then began to sweat on his forehead. Thinking about how to gag his mouth, quickly cure him to death, and get out of it himself, otherwise his situation will be very bad.

After a while, the soldiers came up early with the smelly Luo Juncai. When Luo Juncai saw Lord Zhou, he quickly knelt on the ground, crying and said, "Lord Zhou, save the villain for the sake of the past!" ”

"Past?" Lord Zhou was afraid that he would mention his feelings in the past, so he hurriedly asked a rhetorical question, and then said: "The Japanese officials were deceived by you, thinking that you were a businessman who kept his own place, but how did he know that you were a bandit!" ”

Then he said to He Zhiyuan: "Gongzi He, hand over this person to this official to deal with." ”

"That's exactly what I mean." He Zhiyuan replied, then took out yesterday's confession, handed it to Lord Zhou, and then said: "This is the confession he framed the son of Mine Chief Yin, and the specific details should be carefully interrogated by Lord Zhou." ”

Master Zhou took the confession and read it hastily, and said: "It turns out that you are the real murderer behind this case!" The convict Luo Juncai was put on death row, and then led people to confiscate his family property. Boss Luo's son, Luo Yuanli, was released as soon as he went back. ”

The officials listened to the order to pull the paralyzed Luo Juncai up from the ground, dragged him out of the crowd, and was escorted away by the officials.

When Mine Chief Yin, who was present, heard this, he immediately knelt on the ground and cried, "Thank you, Lord Qingtian!" Thank you, Lord Qingtian! ”

Lord Zhou looked at Mine Chief Yin who was kneeling on the ground, his vanity was greatly satisfied, and the embarrassment and panic just now were swept away. said to Yin Chang: "Get up quickly, don't just thank me, what else is the son." ”

When Mine Manager Yin heard this, he knelt down and was about to kowtow to He Zhiyuan to thank him, He Zhiyuan hurriedly helped him up and said to Lord Zhou: "Boss Yin is now the mine manager of my coal mine and his own person. It is right to help him solve his problems, no need to thank him! I still have a few of them found in the bandits

Ten women, complex composition. Master Zhou will be escorted back together to distinguish and dispose of it. The other captives are still being held in the coal mines, and Lord Zhou will also be interrogated. ”

"This matter is within the official's duty, thank you Gongzi He for bravely brave the danger and eliminate violence and peace for the people of Yizhou, and exterminate the bandits!" Master Zhou said loudly, and then slammed it to the ground.

A Rokuchi Prefecture swept over a student who had no job, and everyone present had no way of seeing it. If it weren't for everyone knowing that this He Gongzi led the family to fight such a big victory, the people would have thought that they were wrong.

However, since Lord Zhizhou took the lead, a group of officials and gentry also hurriedly followed, and the Tongzhi, officials, state judges, and the gentry present also reached the ground and shouted loudly: "Thank you Gongzi He for bravely brave the danger, eliminate violence and peace for the people of Yizhou, and exterminate the bandits!" ”

At the site, the coal bosses and miners saw the gentry and officials saluting like this, and they also followed the long bow to the ground, shouting loudly: "Thank you Gongzi He for bravely brave the danger, eliminate violence and peace for our people, and exterminate the bandits!" ”

In the center of nearly 1,000 people, He Zhiyuan looked at the officials and gentry who were bowing to the ground, bowed his hands in vain, and said lightly: "Why worry about the effort? ”

When Lord Zhou heard this fluttering words, his face was very embarrassed, these old thieves, the government has been unable to take them for two or three years. But when he arrived at He Zhiyuan, it became a gesture, which made all the officials embarrassed!

Actually, Lord Zhou did this with his own ideas, and now he no longer cares about the war profits, but he is worried about the hundreds of bandits' heads. This is a head that is related to his political achievements and future!

At this point, He Zhiyuan's anger has almost smoothed out, and his face has been restored, so he is no longer embarrassed by Lord Zhou. Because he also has ideas, what he is worried about is the mining rights of the coal mine in the Black Stone Mountain, and without the cooperation of Lord Zhou, he will really have to work hard.

Therefore, He Zhiyuan invited Master Zhou to the mansion in the mountains for a while. Lord Zhou looked at the rugged and steep mountain road, and said in embarrassment: "This official is old and frail, and he can't ride a horse, so let's find a suitable place outside the mountain." ”

He Zhiyuan also said in embarrassment: "I just arrived here, and there is no industry outside the mountain, you see this ......."

At this time, Zheng Zhutou, who was standing on the side, hurriedly whispered to Lord Zhou, and Lord Zhou nodded for a while. Then he said to He Zhiyuan: "Just now Zheng Zhutou said that Luo Juncai has an idle house in Luoquanzhuang, which happened to be sent to He Gongzi to live. Someone clean it up today, how about we go there right away? ”

He Zhiyuan said in his heart that this Zheng Zhutou can't fight, but his kung fu is good. But he also needed such a mansion now, and with this mansion, he would have a place to settle down here. Moreover, he has made such a great contribution, and it is reasonable for the government to send a mansion.

Thinking of this, He Zhiyuan replied: "That's very good, then thank you Lord Zhou." ”

Seeing that He Zhiyuan agreed, Lord Zhou instructed Zheng Zhutou beside him to take a few servants to Quanzhuang to clean the house. Then he said to He Zhiyuan: "At noon, we celebrated the merit of Gongzi He Gongzi, and the celebration wine was drunk there, please Gongzi He must arrive before noon." ”

Subsequently, Lord Zhou took a sedan chair to Luoquanzhuang, and He Zhiyuan took the soldiers and escorted more than a dozen carts into the mountain.

At this point, the two personnel parted.
