Pingji went to China twice, and returned to China with his experience. The sword Peiding is the emperor of the dynasty, and the stars are blowing at midnight.

Lige bid farewell to the three-year guest, and the whale sea traveled thousands of miles home. If there is a repetition of this trip, you must fold a flower.

- Tang Yin

The sky is high and the clouds are light, and it is about to be in February, in this southern land, it is the season when the grass grows and the warbler flies, although the new trees have not yet sent out tender shoots, but on the plateau that is about to thaw, there is only mottled white, the snow is lined with spring color, and the dazzling silver light shines from time to time under the morning light of early spring.

Surrounded by snow and withered grass is a huge city wrapped by the city wall of bricks and stones, the city is built according to the water, the water mill river is separated from the Nanming River in the south of the city, all the way to the northwest meanders, the two rivers will be the southwest side of the stone city tightly surrounded, a river through the city also from the Nanming River, after entering the city, it flows out from the water gate on the east side of the north city gate, runs through the north and south, the whole city overlooks like a lotus flower blooming, the beauty is revealed in the wonderful.

The stone mountain in the north of the city stands majestically, and the trees on the mountain are lush and green, and Fucheng is named after this mountain. The highest noble peak on the mountain, a few puffy clouds dotted with soaring goshawks, aimlessly hovering in the blue sky. A year ago, after a snowfall, everyone felt that there should be a good harvest in the coming year, and the officials and people in the city were immersed in a leisurely atmosphere, because in the period before spring ploughing, whether officials, officials, Han people, or local people, the crowd of people who rushed to the field was much more than in previous years, and there was always a bustling flow of people outside the city every day.

Today is the sixteenth day of the first month, just after the Shangyuan Festival, although the sunshine seems warm in recent days, but the weather is not yet hot, and all kinds of lanterns placed in the city have not been removed, that is from the fifteenth day of the first month, to be full of three days. In the early morning of that day, Wang Xiaoliu was so anxious that he waited with a group of Han merchants who sold mountain goods from Bozhou outside the urn city of Rouyuan Gate.

In the cold morning breeze of early spring, a group of people snuggled up to a fire in a quick foot shop outside the Rouyuan Gate to keep warm, this city shop was originally used to transmit military information, but at this time, the rules of the court have long been corrupted, and this official for private use is not a big deal. An old soldier waited for the merchants to mix tea and pour water, and for the sake of the money, he was very attentive. Several traders in Banzhou were still comparing the goods brought from Shuzhong with the people of Xingui County, who had arrived early. Among the crowd, only Wang Xiaoliu was the only one who was not in his soul, and he didn't have any luggage, but he looked at the city gate from time to time, and he seemed to have sweat on his forehead in the thawing weather.

Finally, at the beginning of the day, the heavy city gate finally fully reflected a shadow of the sun on the top of Guishan not far behind, and opened with a creaking sound like dead wood cracking under the bell that resounded through the city. The noise inside and outside the city suddenly became transparent and merged. The avant-garde city army of Guiyang has already taken care of the urn city, and the inspection points are carried out step by step, and the pigs, sheep, and charcoal that come in from outside the city, and the people who go out of the city to go out and buy are suddenly squeezed into a piece in the urn city.

…………

The north of the city is next to the Dongyue Temple, and the Jiangxi Hall is across a Yipinfang Street from the alley, the original name, the people who live here have long been unable to remember. It's just that since the old man Wang, who was born as a jinshi, came out of here, the name of Wangjiaxiang has been used to this day, and more than ten years have passed unconsciously. In his same year, that is, among the fellow scholars, although he did not do very well in learning, he had the talent of hard work, and he was born as a third-class jinshi, and now he is the imperial history. Although the imperial history and the county are the same as the seven products, the Beijing officials are already superior, not to mention that it is still a clear place like the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which is a good place to raise hope.

It is true that Master Wang is a Beijing official, and now he is out of charge in Guangdong, so it is inconvenient to serve his parents at home, and his father died early, so there is only an old mother Yang in the family, and his younger brother Wang Mingde to serve on the side.

…………

Wang Xiaoliu is kneeling in front of the old lady Yang of the palace and crying at the moment, Wang Xiaoliu's head of the family, that is, the famous Wang Laiting, is the younger son of this lady - Wang Mingde's brother, the second in the family, only one year younger than Wang Mingde's brother, but he is the only son of his house, although he is not as noble as the current family, he is also a solid family in Guiyang Mansion. This time he went out to run errands, and was poisoned by the cunning people in the countryside outside the city. Speaking of this place in Guizhou, since the Han and Tang Dynasties, it is known as the Luo ghost country, Guizhou is also a "ghost" state, there is a Ming generation, the Han people have gained a firm foothold in this place, but even in this Guiyang military and civilian government, the familiar fan and other natives of the Yi people (Yi people) and Miao (Miao people) are still more than half, counting 10,000 households. Wang Xiaoliu returned to the mansion since the morning, and there was only the housewife Xiao in the house, and the eldest daughter of the Xiao family had already married, and there was no male in the mansion to preside. Hearing that the old man had an accident, even his only son was lost, and his life and death are still uncertain, so he immediately lost his mind. Fortunately, the old housekeeper had some plans, so he sent Wang Xiaoliu to find Wang Mingde's mansion to report, called Confession, which was actually asking for help, so that Wang Mingde came forward, it was better than her Xiao family's women and children. In front of the Yang family, Wang Xiaoliu still had to call the old grandmother.

I have seen my grandmother Yang, but they are all sad, Yang is old, I can't listen to this, and I sigh. At this moment, Wang Mingde also heard the news and asked, after hearing the situation inside, he came to ask the old mother for peace, and then relieved: "Mother don't be sad, now the place is not peaceful, Xiaoliu fled back at this time, and he may not see it really, according to his son, he still needs to send more family members to inquire about the whereabouts of the second brother and nephew. After thinking about it, Wang Mingde said again, "I'll write another post to Fuzhong, for the sake of the eldest brother and me, Xu Tongju and Wu Dafu will not shirk." "The so-called Fuzhong is the Guiyang Military and Civil Mansion, the current Guizhou Prefecture is located, and there are also Xingui County and Guizhou Governor Yamen in Guiyang City, but it is a matter of foreign road natives, the county government is of little use, and the governor Yamen is rarely able to speak.

In a short time, Master Wang wrote two posts to explain the reason, and sent two familiar family members to send them separately, and he sent Wang Xiaoliu back to report to his housewife. That Wang Xiaoliu also put away his crying and got up to say goodbye. Out of the Wang's Mansion and turned to the east, his mother was waiting for news.

…………

On the other side, the royal family went straight out of the house, went south of the city and separated after the big crossing, one went west across the bridge and went directly to the official hall to find Xu Tongju in the house, and the other continued to the south, bypassing the back wall of the Martyrs' Temple and finding the Gu Commander's Mansion to the east.

Guiyang Mansion Tong sentenced Xu Ji is Yunnan tribute born, Wang Mingde's brother was first a jinshi when he had to grant the pedestrian division pedestrian, there was a Ming Dynasty, most of the pedestrians were appointed by the new branch of Jinshi, in the past there were many envoys to foreign countries, after arriving in Jiajing, they were more released to the township to take the main examination, Wang Jinshi was the main examination of Yunnan. One of Xu Ji's brothers is the one who took the subject, Brother Wang is Brother Xu's teacher, and the teacher-student relationship is unusual in the current dynasty, and it is based on Xu Ji's and Wang's virtue. Master Xu read the post and asked the reason, so he said that there was no need to alarm Wu Fuzun. He is in charge of a house of money and food prison, and it is also his job to catch and steal, and the king comes to the court, and he is also from a person's background.

At this time, Gu Congxin, the commander of Guiyang Wei, also knew the ins and outs of the matter, so he sent his right-hand men to protect the Wang family's family to inquire all the way to Banzhou, and then sealed the official document to Banzhou, which was regarded as finding a reason for his subordinates to go out, and appeased the Wang family.

Wei has a commanding envoy, and Tongzhi is a deputy. Gu Tongzhi respects the Wang family for his own reasons. The ancestors of the Wang family have two branches, one in Guizhou Wei, and one in Pu'anwei, all of which are generations of military merits, and when it comes to Wang Mingde's grandfather Wang Jing's generation, there is a lifter, the official to the county, although he is a foreign official, but the relationship between the Wang family in the military and political circles in Guiyang can be described as intertwined, and it is reasonable for Gu Congxin to make friends with the Wang family, he thought to himself, "That is, when I meet a barbarian who can't open my eyes, where will the Han people in Guiyang Mansion not know the Wang family."

…………

"These are really hateful." The so-called Qianqian and Miao are the contemptuous names of the Han people in Guizhou for the Shaomin, and the word "Qian" is still commonly used by the Han people in Yunnan and Guizhou provinces to refer to the Yi people in modern times.

Wu Fuzun of the Guiyang Military and Civil Mansion just learned about the Wang family, although the little guy who fled back to the Wang family is not sure that the head of the family has been killed, but it is certain that it was not the Han people who attacked them.

Although Guizhou is not a border land, the Han people spread out here after the Xianzong Dynasty, which is only more than 100 years ago. If you want to say that there are many murders and robberies among young people, there are many in Guizhou, not to mention that they are everywhere, at least they are commonplace. The so-called "division is for the people, and unity is for theft" is the Guizhou red seedlings. Take last year alone, Guizhou Xuanfu made An Yaochen lead the army to cross the border to invade Yizhou, and dispatched tens of thousands of native soldiers, which is still on the surface, although it is the internal struggle for power within the Tusi, but everywhere it passes, it burns and plunders excessively, and it is extremely vicious, which is worse than the bandits.

And this time the accident is a person, it is not ordinary, Guizhou is not prosperous, once every three years of the township test, Guiyang a house of people are only two palms, there is a Ming Dynasty, people are official candidates, can be awarded nine real jobs, a man died under the rule, this can directly involve the ability of local officials to govern, do not do a triennial examination will be implicated, indispensable fines, grinding and surveying periods, as well as the impeachment of the official and the scholar, not to mention that this person is also from the extravagant Guiyang Wang, Although it is not the most prominent one, it also makes Fuzun quite annoyed.

Annoyed and annoyed, but things have to be done, the Wang family has deep roots in Guiyang Mansion, not to mention Wang Zunde, Wang Mingde, this branch of a jinshi, one swoop, is the bitter lord Wang Laiting, born in the people, and the family is doing the north and south goods trade, is a famous local Han gentry, not only Guiyang, the whole Guizhou, there are Wang clansmen, the earliest can go to Yingzong when they follow the army to take root. Fortunately, although the Wang family has a wide range of people, his reputation is not bad, and he has a wide reputation in the township, and since the judgment has been lowered, there is no prevarication, and then I heard that Guiyang Wei's commander Gu Congxin also started to investigate, so he was a little relieved, and no one made a bad decision.

…………

So after half a month of nothing, this day is a shock, there is no major event in the house, the people of the city are preparing for the Spring Dragon Festival a day later - the folk call the dragon raised. It is because Master Wu has to be idle, and he eats alone in the back office at noon, and a copy of the mansion on the table is used by Master Wu to accompany the meal. If the place is not quiet, the scholars like to talk about military affairs, which has become a trend, because if you look at the local news in the newspaper and the military situation in various places, it is like the newspaper of later generations, it is a blind pastime for officials in their spare time to administer government, if it is changed to Jiangnan, where the literary style is at its peak, it will be changed to a certain celebrity's anthology of current literature or poetry collection. But today's meal was only halfway through, and his mood was interrupted by a message on the Di copy, along with the fermented bean curd sent from his hometown in Wuwei County, which had just aroused Master Wu's thoughts of perch.

The first two articles of the Di copy are irrelevant, they are nothing more than the appointment of some local officials and the changes in the rules of the imperial court, this time it is also said that the southern Siming Mansion was colluded by the local chiefs to Jiaoyi and invaded the border (note: the so-called Jiaoyi is the Jiaozhi, which refers to the tribes in the north of present-day Vietnam), and it is also said that the Hongmiao on the Huguang side is in rebellion, and in the fifth article, it is the part that disrupts the lunch of Master Wu. Seeing that it said that on the thirteenth day of the first month, there was a Guiyang Mansion Wang Laiting's family was robbed and killed by thieves on the way home, fortunately, Wang Zhongde, the chief flag officer of Guiyang avant-garde Xifeng Institute, went out on patrol and rescued the prince of the Wang family, and beheaded the thief at the fourteenth level, and none of the thieves missed the net. Master Wu looked at the murder of the thief as reported by the Tang newspaper, and secretly said in his heart, 'Sure enough', but it was inevitable that there was a faint trace of worry.

At a cursory glance, more than a dozen thieves were killed in the first battle, and there were no casualties on their side, and they were not superior in terms of numbers, and the Tang newspaper said that there were only eight or nine people in Wang Zhongde's department that day, and none of the thieves escaped the net, which is really weird. The barbarians in Guizhou are good at plundering, and the local mountains are high and dense, so if you want to fight with the official army, the number is two or three times more than that of the people, and you can't get a bargain, but this battle has not escaped a single one, so you can't say it. Just talking about the killing of more than ten people, if it is inferred according to common sense, the thieves will only run away, dozens or hundreds of people are possible, against the officers and soldiers of less than ten people, among which there are many military patrolmen who have little combat effectiveness, the entire Tang Bao is completely puzzled. If it is said that the general banner surnamed Wang killed the good and risked the merits, the Tang newspaper can also say that he saved Wang Laiting's only son, which is always unfake.

But after thinking about it, what Quan Dang said is true, and it is also a good thing, so that he can give an explanation to the bitter lord Wang's family, and the face in Fuzhong County is not too ugly, and he finally prevaricates.

It is not surprising that Wu Fuzun has these thoughts, in this Guiyang City, it is he Wu Laiting who can make a decision at the moment. Two years ago, the imperial court inspected Guizhou with Zhang Heming, the imperial history of the right capital. Governors and governors were originally appointed on a temporary basis, and had no rank. Either because of local instability or because of rebellion, a special post was set up to oversee the military, political, money and food of a province or even several provinces, but after it became a rule, it gradually became customized, and the governor and governor were even more above the prefect. This is also a lot in later generations, when a department is transferred and does not listen, it often sets up another office and a leading group for reform, and over time it becomes a rule, and the original intention is the same. Five years ago, Guo Zizhang, the former governor who had expired, was asked to retire due to old illness, and Hu Guifen, the deputy capital of the imperial court, took over. Over the past few years, the governor and the prefect yamen have cooperated happily, but now that the new officials have taken office, it is inevitable that they will tremble again. At this time, there was a matter of people being killed, and the court was afraid of the rebellion of the natives in Guizhou, and it was to pacify the rebellion of Yang Yinglong for many years, and the court used troops against people from all walks of life. Zhang Yuanping and Zhang Futai are still the main battles, and Master Wu only hopes to spend this term safely, seek a Jiangnan Shangzhou or return to Beijing, just don't cause trouble.

"Don't make trouble? Donkey. The red-faced man wiped the beard on his face and said, "Oh Laozi said that this barbarian can't be good, let's strike first, Liao Si and Yang Gan'er, they all opened their eyes wide for me, don't get rid of the credit." ”

The red-faced man and the thirty or forty servants looked at the earthen wall and the walled gate in front of them, and said to the brothers around them without looking back. Liao Si and Yang Gan'er are tall and fat, both powerful little flag officers under the red-faced man, each in charge of more than a dozen brothers, all of them are used to being brave and ruthless in the claypot.

…………

Yang Bao'er, the lord of White Horse Tongtong, was leisurely drinking cloudy rice wine, as if everything outside had nothing to do with him. His father made a slight contribution to the rebellion of Yang Yinglong in Pingbanzhou, and attacked a local official inspection, and sealed the loose official from the Wupin Wuluo general, the so-called loose official is actually an honorary title, and the court does not have another support, but with this official body, it is a kind of court mark among the local people, and it has some benefits. Since Yang Bao'er died at the age of thirteen, his father and brother died, he took the position of the lord, and now ten years have passed, and his life has passed leisurely. In front of the official road from Banzhou to Guizhou, there are a lot of benefits in commercial goods every year, and it is not more than a hundred households to support the days of cockfighting. Today is unusual, I heard the housekeeper say that a group of deputy masters came from outside Tong. The so-called deputy master, is talking about the military household, this Yang Bao'er ancestor has been familiar with the last three generations, although it is a Miao person, but it has indeed been sinicized, and the family is driven by the Han people, so there is also a manager. Although there are no more than 100 men and women in Tongzhong, 4 or 500 people, but within a radius of more than ten miles, in addition to the Dizhai Division where Baimatong is located, this Tongzhong can also pull out hundreds of men to see a battle.

If it is a weekday, the local Han Fan is often still fighting for water and fertilizer, lawsuits and the like, the fight is fierce, and it is not a big deal to have its own upstart county and the Dizhai Division to come forward, but the Weisuo army has not come to the door for more than ten years. Especially the red-faced man who is the leader, who is recognized by the steward, is a native of the local Wangjiapo, a martial artist for generations. A few days ago, I heard my maternal uncle who came to visit relatives mention this, and now he has won the general banner in Xifeng, and I heard that he has responded to the general errand of the left battalion. The military system of this dynasty is chaotic, and most of them are the main guards and the battalion soldiers take the initiative. Although the founding of the country has been 200 years old, the military equipment in various places has been slack, but since the ancestors of the present day, there have been Japanese robbers along the coast, and there is a rebellion of the red seedlings in the southwest. According to the steward's ears, this red-faced officer is the battalion commander who has been recruited by the guard, so the response will be different.

According to the dynasty system, the supply of the army of the guard station depends on the tuntian, there is a monthly ration on weekdays, and there is a ration in case of war. The status of the battalion soldiers is much higher, not only the monthly rations, the line of food, but also the settlement, horse prices, clothing, equipment and silver subsidies, although it is also from the Beijing annual silver interest, that is, the central financial burden, but since the Wanli aid to the Korean battle, the state is not enough, so the local government is allowed to raise their own military salaries and various additional assignments, so Yang Bao'er is not afraid of the guard, but afraid of the battalion. When the steward said this, he frowned and inquired as to what was going on.

"It's all Ajina's failure, and he actually seduced the red seedlings who came from Banzhou, and started the idea of a passing merchant, this time I heard that he robbed and killed a talented old man and killed several family members. But I didn't want this Xiucai's family to be relatives with this Mr. Wang, and he had an only son who was rescued by the patrol of Xifeng. Now that the surname Wang is in the background, not only have the more than ten red seedlings who went to rob and kill all been killed, but we also want us to hand over Ah Ji. ”

"Can you inquire about this?" Although Yang Bao'er doesn't care about the following on weekdays, his subordinates can't hide the things they do on weekdays, and the benefits of profit sharing are indispensable to him. Even if the truth of changing the land and returning to the stream is not known to the ordinary Tusi, the place is peaceful, the people are abundant, this Xuanwei Division has to change the chief lawsuit or even be promoted to the guard, the same is the loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, how can the officials who have entered the stream get the emperor to be happy, so there is no need to teach such a thing as raising Kou self-respect, just don't leave the handle, but this time the big basket will come out. The people who were killed were scholars with meritorious fame, although they showed off their talents and lifted people, the natives still couldn't hear clearly, and they were not ordinary people after all. Besides, the bitter lord also came to the door, and there are local extravagant characters as backers, the surname Wang is not a good match, this time it seems that it is necessary to give up the silver to be good, but fortunately, it is true that there is no one left of more than ten red seedlings that go, all of them have done the credit under the knife, and this side has gone to a heart.

Yang Bao'er has not encountered anything that needs to be decided for many years, but now that she is only half a glass of wine, her heart is already clear, and the face of the pampered and superior has shown a flash of ruthless energy, and she hammered the wine cup on the case, "That's the only way." ”

…………

"Fourth brother, do you have to wait?" Yang Gan'er looked in the direction of the earthen wall again, and there was no movement in the tongzi, but occasionally Tongmin looked inside the earthen wall, with panic in his eyes.

"Don't worry, under the nose of the same prefect, Lao Tzu doesn't believe that he Yang Bao'er can really favor the clansmen, grandpa, I don't have a vegetarian steel knife in my hand." The red-faced man turned around and smiled as he spoke, "It's also for the sake of the fifth brother, who will come to find these pickled bad luck on weekdays." Today, I only let out this evil breath for the fifth brother, and when I caught the thief, I crushed the guy, and only took the head to see An to comfort him, and see what he said. "An Xuanwei is now Guizhou Xuanfu An, a few years ago because of the death of the previous generation of Xuanfu An Yaochen and the throne not long ago, but the Han here is talking about An's uncle An Bangyan, who is now known as Shuixi Xuanfu Situ. Because of An's young age, the internal affairs of the Xuanwei Division are all decided by Bangyan, especially the military handle, which is the so-called An's consolation, and most of the current An's knowledge is said.

The white young man who was called the fifth brother was standing behind the red-faced man with his hands in his hands, but he was dressed in cloth but showed an extraordinary bearing. Listening to the red-faced man's excitement, he didn't have a seizure, but said: "There is an elder brother who is in charge, and the younger brother is a hundred rest assured, but he just deals with thieves, and he has his own national law, and the younger brother is worried that there can be barbarian thieves on this thoroughfare, so he should report to the imperial court." It's not in a hurry to clean up the enemy at this time, there is a way that 'a gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late', this Lang Lang Qiankun is still my Ming world. "Although the words are beautiful, the chill revealed in these words is clearly to 'kill them all'. saw the young man's words change: "This time we are few people, the barbarians are cunning, and the fourth brother should not suffer in vain." There was no such gritted teeth of killing his father in the words, but the killing intent revealed in his resolute eyes, if he glanced at him, it would definitely make people chill to the bones, and people couldn't help but secretly mention that he wanted to be right with this young man.

"The fifth brother just rest assured, the brothers only talk to Yang Bao'er today, if they hand over the culprit, they will pay it back, if they don't obey, Qian Qian will always allow the family to act cheaply, at that time, the credit of Bai Ma Tong will be born."

…………

When the sun is on the three poles, the people behind the wall are scattered, and when they do not move, the heavy gate of the village squeaks open, and a group of people hold sheep and serve wine and fish out, and they are surrounded by a person, and the official in the green robe and belt looks like Yang Bao'er. When Yang Bao'er saw the red-faced man, he confessed his guilt repeatedly, so he beckoned his entourage to set up a banquet on the dam outside the mouth, and some natives brought felt and bamboo poles to set up a pergola on the empty field.

Yang Bao'er arched his hand at the red-faced man, and said: "The villain is resting in the back, and these few people who don't know what to do will not come to report, but they have caused the deputy masters to wait for a long time, and there is nothing to produce in the remote township, only some coarse meat and bad wine, and some local instruments, I hope the deputy masters will laugh." ”

The red-faced man didn't speak, but Liao Si behind him came out and said: "The general has broken the bill, today the chief master and the brothers are bothering, and it is not for anything else, presumably the general is also clear, we just need to call the leader of Aji to speak." ”

Yang Bao'er didn't make a show, only asked his subordinates to arrange to sit down, and greeted with a smile on his face: "Let's eat and drink." ”

The red-faced man was unrestrained, and sat at the main table, and the rest of the people found their own places to sit down, but they didn't fall down.

Yang Bao'er said again: "I am still bothered that the effective generals of the Lao Banner come to see, this may not be the Aji you are looking for." As he spoke, he saw a man coming up from behind, holding a square plate in his hand, and the head on it, the knife was still oozing blood, and the owner of the head was full of disbelief. Look at Yang Bao'er again, there is a stammering and ruthless smile on the horizontal meat.

Although the natives have always acted more carelessly than the Han people, but just under their noses they killed the suspect and handed it over in a bright and bright way, which still made a group of sergeants who were accustomed to seeing the scene breathe a sigh of cold air, after all, although it was an official army, this time it was also a bit of a personal revenge, except for the boy and his distant brother, the rest of the people came to beat the side drum, and by the way, they wanted to find some benefits.

But I heard Yang Bao'er tell me: "This guy colluded with the red seedlings, for the sake of the township, I have just verified, and for a moment of righteous indignation, I overstepped the bounds, and it is also the duty of the official to restrain the local people, not to mention that it is the son or my white horse Tongmin, and the general must not blame." ”

The red-faced man didn't know how to have a seizure, and his heart was depressed, so he heard a young man in the middle of the story say aloud: "The general is a thief, and the flag general must ask for credit for the general, and we are not here today for nothing, just to give more credit to the general." ”

"Oh?" Yang Bao'er looked at the young man quite unexpectedly, but saw that the young man had a white face and a weak body, and he would not be longer when he was thirteen or fourteen years old. ”。 The Ming generation of the most important readers, the so-called everything is inferior, only reading is high, this truth even the head of the toast is also understood, when Wang Yangming lived in Shuixi Longchang, comforted An Guirong to his courtesy. Because I heard that a scholar was "mistakenly killed" by his subordinates, he spared no expense in order to avoid disaster.

"This is the fifth brother in my clan."

"I've seen Xiucai." Yang Bao'er looked at the young man and said tentatively: "I don't know the credit of what Xiucai just said......

But seeing that the young man gave a slight salute, he said lightly: "Don't worry, the general will eat and drink." ”

After a while, I saw three inferior horses running on the official road not far away, Guizhou has Yunnan horses, because they have good patience, so they are accustomed to animal power in the local area, both the local army and the people have to drive to travel, but they are not worthy of war horses, many of them are sent to other provinces, so it is not surprising to see three military men on horseback.

Liao Si's eyes were sharp, and when he saw it, he said, "Fourth brother, sixth brother, they are back." ”

…………

"General Yang is so blessed, if it weren't for my brother's advice, Lao Tzu would have taken this credit himself." The black-faced man who was called the sixth brother was not polite, and he picked up a bowl of rice wine and drank it all, even enjoying it.

"Are you sure about it?"

"It's true, this thief is indeed a red seedling from Banzhou, and now the tent is set up at the foot of Nanwang Mountain."

"Have you ever set up a village?" The red-faced man continued to ask.

"I asked two groups of natives to ask, and it was true, they were all new to this place, and they hurriedly built some felt, only some antlers refused horses, and they had never set up a village, plus women and children, there were only three or four hundred people." Although Shengfan looks like a savage in the eyes of the officials and soldiers, there is still a big difference between whether there is a camp or not, so it is necessary to find out.

I heard the red-faced man laugh and said, "That's good, Xue Liu, you can eat and drink here with peace of mind, and only teach your two brothers to work hard to accompany me again." Saying that, he turned to Yang Bao'er again: "I also have to trouble General Yang to order the people in Tongzhong, and sweep away the thieves with me, so as to show my heart to the court." ”

At this time, where is Yang Bao'er still have the reason to retreat, listening to the red-faced man, if he doesn't obey, it is a hat that colludes with barbarians and poisons the place, and the Dizhai Division will not protect him, how can Ding Zhuang confront the officials and soldiers in this white horse, and even the people and horses of Xifeng can easily level him, but now it is clear that he is going to be dragged to his back, and he can only consider himself unlucky.

The scene of the day was peculiar, seventy or eighty people of Baimatong walked in front of them, and the chief flag officer of Xifeng Institute took dozens of brothers behind, and the journey of more than 20 miles was delayed for most of the day, and finally arrived at Nanwang Mountain before the sun set. As for how the boy and his brother destroyed this gang of thieves, and how they had a future story, it involved a five-hundred-year fate......

[Note: Check "Guiyang Mansion Chronicles": In the fourteenth year of Wanli (1586), Xingui County was placed, attached to Guo, and subordinated to Guiyang Mansion. In the twenty-ninth year (1601), Guiyang Mansion was promoted to Guiyang Military and Civil Government. In the thirty-sixth year (1608), Xingui County and Dingfan Prefecture were located in Xingui County, which was still under the Guiyang Military and Civil Government. According to Mr. Tan Qixiang's "Atlas of Chinese Historical Geography", this book adopts the above statement. Also note: The Ming Shilu records that Zhang Heming was appointed as the governor of Guizhou from the end of the 43rd year of Wanli to the 44th year of Wanli, but the Ming History and Hu Guifang entries record that Hu's departure was after the 45th year of Wanli.
