Because the killer fed the aconitum poison on the arrow, not only was the militia who was shot in the right rib by a hidden arrow and the Daxing Pavilion soldier who was hit by the arrow in the vest not rescued, but the other subordinate militia who was shot in the thigh was almost killed. Fortunately, it was discovered in time, and there is no poison purification technology in this era, and the amount of poison carried by the poison arrow is not very large, plus Xiang Kang spent a lot of money to ask a good doctor for rescue, and with all his efforts, he finally pulled this militia named Liu Zhu back from the death line, and also somewhat saved some prestige in the militia of the lower prime minister for Xiang Kang - there are not many bosses in this era who attach so much importance to the lives of his soldiers as Xiang Kang.

On the other hand, as Xiang Kang guessed, after the failure of the booby trap, the mysterious Lingxian bandits really quickly left the mountaineering area and fled to the sparsely populated east of Lingxian in this era.

But fortunately, Feng Zhong managed to get back the dead body of a bandit, and at the same time, the militia team under Xiang Kang's command did help the subordinate prime minister to expel the bandits, and gave an explanation to the lower prime minister's government and the people, so even if he was guilty, Xiang Kang still cheekily claimed that he had successfully defended the safety of the lives and property of the people of Daxingting, and called on the rich landlords of the pavilions in the eastern township of the lower prime minister to continue to contribute money and grain to help him support and form the lower prime minister's militia that did not have much time.

Two days later, after confirming that the mysterious bandits had fled far away and could not continue to track, Xiang Kang and Feng Zhong led the subordinate militia team and the children of the Xiang family back to Shiling Pavilion in despair, and then Xiang Kang brought the body and pension of the sacrificial militia to his home for the first time.

Then, Feng Zhong kindly proposed to invite Xiang Kang to his house for dinner and drinking, but Xiang Kang, who was uncomfortable, was not in the mood, so he casually found an excuse, and then returned directly to his dilapidated courtyard. However, when Xiang Kang was surprised and moved, his fiancée Yu Miaoge had been waiting for him to come back at the gate of the small courtyard, and asked with concern as soon as they met: "Are you okay?" I heard that you went to Daxingting this time to fight with the bandits, and there were still people, but you weren't injured, right? ”

"It's okay, I'm not hurt." Xiang Kang barely squeezed out some smiles on his face, and hurriedly opened the courtyard door with the key, beckoning Yu Miaoge, who didn't know how long he had been waiting, to come in and take a seat, and it was also very rare to get a chance to be alone with his beautiful fiancée again.

After entering the room, of course, Yu Miaoge asked Xiang Kang about the details of the matter, but Xiang Kang was afraid that Yu Miaoge would be worried, so he deliberately concealed that this group of bandits was actually specifically for his own situation, and vaguely gave a general introduction to the matter. However, even so, Yu Miaoge still listened with trepidation, and as soon as he heard Xiang Kang finish speaking, he said: "You have to be careful in the future, don't rush to the front like last time when you encounter danger, and learn to take care of yourself." ”

"Of course." Xiang Kangqiang smiled, and said casually: "Don't worry, I'll be careful, we're about to officially get married, and I'm definitely reluctant to die." ”

The flush immediately appeared on Yu Miaoge's white and tender cheeks, and he lowered his head and said, "You person, people care about you, and you still say naughty things." ”

"It's not naughty, it's heartfelt."

Xiang Kang's answer made Yu Miaoge even more shy, afraid that Xiang Kang would continue to tease him, Yu Miaoge could only quickly change the topic and said: "Originally, I asked my little sister to come, but she refused, but I can see that in fact, she is also concerned about you, but she is just shy, so she doesn't dare to come." ”

"I'm afraid it's not just about being shy." Xiang Kang muttered shamelessly in his heart, but said: "Bring a message for me, just say that I have nothing to do, thank her for caring about me." ”

Yu Miaoge snorted lightly and agreed, blushing and not speaking again, Xiang Kang was moved by her shyness, simply left the table and sat next to her, and reached out to take her into his arms, Yu Miaoge's whole body was shocked, and he subconsciously wanted to resist, but unfortunately Xiang Kang moved too fast, and before Yu Miaoge struggled, he had already grabbed her slender waist, Yu Miaoge was ashamed, and quickly struggled: "Don't, not now, you have to wait until later." ”

"It's only been two months, what are you afraid of?" Xiang Kang smiled and said, "Come, let me take a closer look at how beautiful my lady looks." ”

Yu Miaoge whispered against and continued to resist, but Xiang Kang hugged him tighter, but at this time, Xiang Qi's voice suddenly came from outside the door, and shouted Xiang Kang to go to the second uncle's house for dinner. Xiang Kang quietly cursed the nephew's meeting to pick the time, and at the same time agreed loudly helplessly, and at the same time invited Yu Miaoge to go to dinner with him, Yu Miaoge blushed and shook his head to refuse, and said: "There is another thing, today my family's servant in Yan Jiting brought news, saying that he saw the subordinates of Shan Youwei's family living in Yan Jiting's guest house, and he didn't know what to do, my Ah Weng is worried about this, you have to be careful." ”

"The subordinates of Shan Youwei's family live in Yan Jiting's guest house?" Xiang Kang's eyes rolled, and he was immediately vigilant in his heart, and said secretly: "There is only a little more than an hour away from Shiling Pavilion, it seems that I have to be careful, especially I have to find a way to keep an eye on that kid." ”

After entrusting Xiang Kang, Yu Miaoge hurriedly said goodbye and left with Xiang Qi's ill-intentioned smile, while Xiang Kang planned to follow Xiang it to the second uncle's house and have dinner with the children of the Xiang family. As a result, when he couldn't find a capable person to closely monitor someone, Xiang Kang had an idea, and really thought of a way to let the children of the Xiang family monitor each other, and deliberately told the children of the Xiang family about the people of Shan Youwei living in Yan Jiting's guest house during the meal, and then advised: "Brothers, Yan Jiting is too close to here, don't walk alone these days, you must look at each other when you go there, and you must prevent Shan You's people from plotting against you with poisoned arrows." Also, if anything happens, tell me right away. ”

The children of the Xiang family agreed with a big grin, and Xiang You also nodded decently, but Xiang Kang could see that there was still an unconcealable panic in his expression, obviously worried about something. At the same time, Xiang Kang thought in his heart: "Doing this only increases the difficulty of this kid quietly contacting over there, but only a thousand days to be a thief, not a thousand days to prevent thieves, after a long time, this kid may still be quietly connected with that side and do something that I can't guard against." I still have to think of a way, hurry up and get the ironclad evidence of this kid's secret collusion over there, what should I do? ”

Scheming has always been Xiang Kang's strong point, and this time is no exception, before the meal is finished, Xiang Kang already has a general idea, and it is expected that under the mutual surveillance of his own children, someone will never dare to rashly contact with Captain Shan, and he will definitely be nervous and worried, and try his best to find an opportunity to contact there. And then, the bold idea of creating this opportunity for someone naturally jumped into Xiang Kang's mind......

The next morning, after returning to the blacksmith shop to preside over the production, Xiang Kang casually found an excuse and asked Wei Shan, who was a guest of Feng Zhongmen who had some fate with him, to the blacksmith shop, leaving everyone aside and having a conversation with Wei Shan by the smelting furnace. And at dinner in the evening, Xiang Kang deliberately counted his belongings in front of his brothers, and soon found that he had a piece of gold missing, and then naturally remembered that Wei Shan, who had a history of petty theft, went to the blacksmith shop today, and once approached the clothes he put aside when he was striking iron, suspecting that Wei Shan had done it, and asked his brother to go to the pavilion with him to settle accounts with Wei Shan.

led the children of the Xiang family to the pavilion, and found Feng Zhong, who was still holding the position of the head of the Shiling Pavilion, Xiang Kang gave a general explanation of the situation, but Feng Zhong shook his head and said with confidence: "Brother, you should have misunderstood, that person from Weishan I know that he used to do petty theft, but he has really changed, I dare to assure you, if you don't believe it, I will call him to ask you in person now." ”

The cruel truth quickly pained Feng Zhong's pitiful little face, and after being called to Xiang Kang, Feng Zhong had just asked two questions, Wei Shan pounced on Feng Zhong's knees, and said with a sad face: "Big brother, it's me who is confused, I don't have enough money to marry my daughter-in-law to buy a house, and I feel that Xiang Gongzi must not remember so much money, so I made an old mistake, and I couldn't help but secretly take a piece of gold from him." I'm damned, I'm supposed to fight, I'm not human, I'm a brute! ”

Desperately slapping his skinny face, Wei Shan also took the initiative to take out the gold he stole from Xiang Kang, Feng Zhong was furious when he saw it, of course, he kicked Wei Shan to the sky, and roared: "Bastard thing!" Brother Xiang and I are sorry for you, the ten gold I promised you last time, is it one less gold for you, or one less money for you? Do you dare to steal Brother Xiang's money and lose Lao Tzu's face? You said it yourself, how should Lao Tzu clean you up? ”

"I'm damned, I'm really damned!" Wei Shan cried, hurriedly kneeled to hug Xiang Kang's legs, and pleaded with a handful of snot and tears: "Xiang Gongzi, I'm sorry for you, I'm wrong, I should fight!" I was confused for a while, begging Gongzi, for the sake of my birth and death for you last time, spare me this time, spare me this time. ”

Xiang Kang kept a straight face and didn't speak, his face was full of ruthless and vicious looks, and said: "You were meritorious last time, but I should give it to you, I don't have a penny for you." Brother Feng, according to the law of Great Qin, how should I be punished for stealing a gold? ”

"Brother, isn't it ......?" Feng Zhong's face was full of words, and he said with some embarrassment: "According to the laws of Great Qin, stealing a gold is at least punished as a chengdan, and if you are unlucky, you may be sent to Lishan as a prisoner." Although this Wei Shan should be beaten, he has already taken the initiative to confess his guilt and returned the gold he stole from you, for the sake of his previous efforts to give us, do you think it is ......? ”

"I'm not going to Lishan!" Wei Shan hurriedly shook his head, hugged Xiang Kang's leg and begged: "Xiang Gongzi, please, please, let me go this time, let me go this time, in the future, I will be a cow and a horse, a pig and a dog, and I will definitely repay you." ”

Snorted very cruelly, Xiang Kang said to Feng Zhong: "Brother Feng, for your sake, this matter can be regarded as a self-confession (surrender), so that he doesn't need to go to Lishan to be a prisoner, but he must be a city dan for a few months." Otherwise, he won't have a long memory! ”

"Xiang Gongzi, your subordinates are merciful!" Wei Shan howled in despair and said, "Chengdan's work is so heavy, how can I do it? Also, now that the conscription is heavy, I am a city dan, and I may be sent to the frontier to repair the Great Wall at any time! ”

"Then are you willing to go to Lishan to be a prisoner for the rest of your life, or are you willing to go to the frontier to build the Great Wall for a few months," Xiang Kang asked coldly.

"I ......, I ......."

Wei Shan couldn't answer, Feng Zhong over there couldn't stand it, and hurriedly said, "Brother Xiang, don't be like this, give me a face, spare him." This little vertical man didn't lie to you, in order to complete the mission explained above, the county sent Cheng Dan to the frontier to repair the Great Wall at every turn, and he couldn't stand such a crime. I told him to kowtow to you, spare him this time. ”

Saying that, Feng Zhong really forced Wei Shan to kowtow to Xiang Kang to make amends, but Xiang Kang couldn't hinder Feng Zhong's feelings, so he could only snort again and said to Wei Shan: "Slap yourself ten times, forget about it, and next time, it's useless for Brother Feng to intercede for you!" ”

Unable to parry Xiang Kang's obscenity, Wei Shan could only raise his hand and slap himself ten times until his cheeks were red and swollen, and then kowtow to Xiang Kang again and again, begging Xiang Kang to let him go, Xiang Kang didn't bother to look at him, thanked Feng Zhong, took the gold that Wei Shan returned to him, and walked away, leaving Feng Zhong in the room to continue to punch and kick Wei Shan, who had lost his old face, and scolded angrily.

This scene is a good scene, Xiang You, who came to Xingshi with the children of the Xiang family to ask for guilt, of course saw it clearly in his eyes, and also sneered at Xiang Kang's viciousness and meanness, but Xiang You quickly forgot about this matter, because Xiang You no longer had time to care about such trivial matters - the simple slip written by himself was held in his hand as ironclad evidence by Captain Shan, and it was likely that the person sent to contact him lived in Yanji Pavilion, not far from Shiling Pavilion, and could appear in front of him at any time. But the Xiang brothers are like a group of followers, following them at any time, if the person of the single right lieutenant suddenly appears, and happens to be bumped into by his own brothers, what will happen to him?

"I can only ask God to bless me, and the people on Captain Shan's side are quite meticulous, and they can find that I have been stared at, and they dare not risk contacting me. As long as I wait a few more days, wait a few more days, and when my brothers forget Xiang Kang's explanation, I can act alone. ”

I prayed for God's blessing in my heart, and I was worried about walking around with the children of the Xiang family for two days, and on the morning of the third day after the end of the gold theft incident, when Xiang You was wandering around in the pavilion with the children of the Xiang family, Wei Shan, who had been cleaned up by Xiang Kang two days ago, suddenly appeared in front of the children of the Xiang family again, and walked directly to Xiang You, who had inadvertently distanced himself from the children of the Xiang family, nodded and said: "Young Master Xiang, can you take a step to speak?" There's something small I want to ask you to help with. ”

"What's the matter?" Xiang You, who has always looked down on ordinary people like Wei Shan, asked proudly.

Wei Shan didn't answer, but just showed his left hand to Xiang You, and on the palm of his left hand, there was a word clearly written - single!
