"Congratulations, Fourth Brother, this is a great victory that Xifeng has never had." It was Liao Si who said this, and he was the one who led the brigade to block the attack in the back this time, which is a great credit.

"When tomorrow the sky is bright, the good students will be counted, and there will be fifty or sixty beheadings." Ma Zhong spoke conservatively, and there were always people who ran away at night.

"What if you run away?"

"Tonight, the thief should not have the courage to go back to Baimatong again, and he will take a team of people to raid the dog's den early tomorrow morning."

Xue Liu took care of Steward Wang's affairs on the way, although Steward Wang's confession was someone else's private affairs, and he picked it clean, and only took the sin of being held hostage by the thief, and he couldn't get out of Baimatong anyway, plus Yang Bao'er came out in a hurry, and took most of the men in Tongzhong, so Xue Liu came out with a fierce staring, even if he could really hear the news tonight, but the goods didn't want to be transported away.

"It's still the fifth brother, and the big revenge has to be avenged." Wang Zhongde has not been carried away by the victory, this time he is also taking a risk, looking back, it is from the inexplicable trust in this young man to follow the plan of this little brother step by step to today. If Wang Xingping said at the beginning that he wanted Fourth Brother Wang to help him destroy the white horse and the horsehair, I am afraid that Wang Zhongde would not dare.

"It's a pity that the culprit was let go."

Immersed in the joy of victory, no one noticed Wang Xingping's sudden disappearance and appearance, and in less than half an hour in total, he recovered the crossbow arrows he shot, hid the corpse of the enemy, and did it step by step according to the standard subjects of scouts, Wang Xingping was confident that there would be no accidents. He wants to hide himself behind the scenes, it's not a good thing to be too exposed, not to mention that there are many things that can't be said.

returned the borrowed crossbow, patted the dust off his body, did not leave a single flaw, not even a drop of blood sticked, for the sergeants of the Xifeng Station, it was just a few less decapitation skills, and they should be able to fight for their heads on weekdays, but now the brothers are still a ball of harmony, who cares about these?

…………

Carefully calculated, since the beginning of spring, there has not been a single rain on the ground in Guizhou Prefecture, but I didn't expect it to be on the Spring Dragon Festival.

After the Wujiang Pass to the south, the military village government along the way, today are busy worshipping the gods and worshipping, preparing for the upcoming spring ploughing, the military and civilians put out rice cakes and rice, burning incense in the land temple outside the city, praying for a good harvest in the coming year.

Looking at all parts of northern Qianbei, there is only one village that is different from other places, and there is no festival at all.

After the battle last night, a team of men and horses led by Yang Gan'er and Xue Liu, together with Xue Liu, rushed to Baimatong overnight, and did not shout, but just stared at the roads leading to the village to prevent anyone from escaping. Early the next morning, as soon as Wang Zhongde's brigade arrived, Yang Bao'er's head was raised high at the head of the gun, and a burst of arrows were thrown at the wall, and the door of the village was easily knocked open.

With Asuke leading the way, the situation in Hakumatong was quickly controlled.

The counted heads were neatly stacked on the field dam behind Tongzi, and on the other side of the field dam was the crowd that was driven together, and Yang Da's eyes flickered next to Wang Xingping, avoiding the hateful sight from the Tongmin, he was the first to sue in this matter, and this credit was publicized by Liao Si and a few people in Tongzi early in the morning, and even his Hun family was not guarded.

"Asuke, it's time for you to make meritorious contributions."

Wang Zhongde's casual sentence is exactly what Ah Zhu has been waiting for all night, as long as the words come out, most of his own lives will be saved, think about it, Yang Bao'er and his brother are dead, Steward Wang is already half dead now, and he doesn't expect him to have a chance to atone for his crimes, after all, he was too close to Yang Bao'er, and he was a harlequin last night. Only himself, there is a blood feud, there is a handle, and the most important thing is that there is no way to turn back, the people who were killed in Tongzi and ran into the forest and disappeared, a total of seventy-six, the people did not dare to seek revenge from the officials and soldiers, but they all recorded the revenge on Asuke's head. The eyes on the dam were as if they were going to eat themselves, but they could imagine what would happen to him if Wang Zhongde took someone away.

After listening to the chief master's question, he quickly picked up the conversation and shouted loudly: "You all heard clearly, Yang Baoer colluded with Hongmiao to rebel and intercept and kill businessmen on the official road, and now he has been exterminated by the official army, you need to know the head." As he spoke, he raised his right hand, and the human head on the flagpole was not clearly visible in the drizzle, but it seemed to be looking at this side.

Ah Zhu was stunned for a moment, his eyes quickly avoided the side, and continued: "The people on this dam are all rebellious thieves, and they are all people in my Tongzi, although they are not suitable and deceived by Yang Bao'er, but the master has made a package ticket, and it will not harm his wife and children, as long as you hand over the people and thieves who have been plundered in the past, you will not be blamed in the past." ”

After waiting for another half a moment, seeing that no one answered, Ah Zhu was afraid that he would annoy Wang Zhongde and evil his own family, so he had to name him personally.

"He Ada, don't think that if you don't see your son, he escaped, who in Tongzi doesn't know that he is Yang Bao'er's close person, and many people watch the good things he has done." He Boss's son He Sanquan is Yang Bao'er's close guard on weekdays, and he learned from Steward Wang that he was the one who attacked his brother that day, and today since the official army wants to purge Tongzi, he will declare a personal vendetta in the middle, as long as he doesn't do too much, Wang Zhongde will not say much.

It's just that He Ah here stammered, and before he could tell the difference, Xue Liu, who had gone out with Steward Wang before, turned back, with a smile on his lips, what else would it be if he didn't play a 'thief'.

Xue Liu stepped forward, bowed his hand to Wang Zhongde, and said with a smile: "Fourth brother, the surname Wang really knows the details, according to the mention, the brothers dug up the silver coins hidden in the backyard of the Yang family's house, and the silver bills of ten taels and one ingots filled more than 20 jars, as well as three hundred taels of gold, copper and iron coins are not counted, and other treasured utensils have not had time to be checked." ”

At this time, on an attic on the edge of the dam, Wang Xingping was frowning, Liao Si and he took someone to Aji's house, and the silver was not copied out, but he rescued a dying girl in the attic, and the rag on the mouth had been removed, but the chain on the girl's hand had not been broken because of the guy who did not take advantage of it.

The woman has been locked upstairs, since Ah Ji was killed to this day, it has been almost three days, and she has not eaten water and food for three days, but she still has a life, and it really can't be said that her life is not big. Just now Wang Xingping fed the girl back to the water, and Yang Dahun's family is now also serving beside him, and the rice porridge is specially prepared for the gods, but it comes in handy. The second mother of the Hun family who raised the big one nagged while feeding: "What a sin." "Although this woman is very spicy on weekdays, but if there are good people in this white horse, then Yang and his wife should be the two that can be missed, the so-called knife mouth tofu heart, and I also know some of the muddy things that the people in Tongzi do outside, but it really seems that this kind of murder and overkill, intercepting the population, but I only saw it with my own eyes this time, I didn't expect it to be under my own nose, it was really shocking, thinking about this, because my husband's unintentional sentence of guilt in Tongzi was a little less, and even the image of her husband Baowu was also taller.

"What's your name, and where are you?" Wang Xingping asked for the third time, but the girl still didn't answer, and then looked at the scabbed knife marks on the girl's arms, I don't know how long she has been tortured here. There were also a few men and women who were also taken captive in the stockade of the horsehair department, but all of them began to cry as soon as they saw the officers and soldiers, and some begged to go home, but they were not as mun as this woman.

Wang Xingping thought about it, so he was no longer entangled in this, but with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he finally saved it, there is always a way to do things in the future, seeing that the girl is fair-skinned, and it seems to be quite a bit beautiful, but it makes Wang Xingping want to keep her.

…………

Time flies, the fight half a month ago did not attract too long of attention in the chaotic situation in northern Qianbei, a tribe was wiped out, a Tongzi had no head, for a big country like the Ming Dynasty, it is nothing, even for the whole of Guizhou, it is just a little episode of the waves, and even in the hundreds of thousands of lives, it is not worth a day or two of conversation. The more than 100 beheadings, under the profit of many officials, no longer feel conspicuous. The rhetoric of cutting off the official way in the copy has just become a piece of evidence that the governor's yamen continues to complain to the imperial court.

Although Ah Zhu had to take it on behalf of his brother, his performance was enough to compensate for the crime, so that Wang Zhongde was protected, only Steward Wang was sent to prison, and the rest of the families were fined and confiscated, and they were also a lot more honest. Wang Zhongde made this contribution, and it is common for him to even be promoted to the third level according to common sense, but Qian Qian is not jealous, after all, every merit also has his share, and everyone is happy.

…………

Just after the spring equinox, deep in a house in Wangjia Lane, the housemother's bedroom was full of cigarette smoke, and the woman was wearing plain clothes, indicating that the main family was still in the period of decline (note: the head of the family was mourning), and got up in the morning, Wang Xingping was asking his mother Xiao Shi to say goodbye, and Xiao Shi had just gone to the outer spiritual seat and put on a incense, gloomy and sad, and said: "A few days will be Qingming, I have asked my family to prepare to come down, when I want to sacrifice a sacrifice to your father, yesterday the eldest sister also had a letter, or can't resist her, it's good to come back." ”

"It's not peaceful over there in Banshu now, how can my sister be so aggressive."

"It's said that your brother-in-law also wants to be together, the eldest sister has always been so temperamental, if you ask outsiders to say that she is not filial, how can she listen to it, she will definitely come back. Don't worry, the letter said that this time it was with the horse team that was transporting grain from Chongqing Prefecture to Guiyang, and there was always a team of hundreds of people, and it was official, so there would be no arrest of people. ”

Wang Xingping's sister Wang Xingcai, nineteen years old, married in Chongqing Mansion earlier, brother-in-law Jian Shouzhi's family is also a local family, although the husband's family is a poetry and book heirloom, but also does the business of goods in the north and south.

Wang Laiting died violently before, no one presided over the family, all the affairs were Wang Xingping to help his mother cook, and his sister just reported the funeral, but did not wait for the person to come back and then bury, after the first seven years he found a monk from Puji Temple outside the city to do a ritual. According to the system of this dynasty, a married woman does not have to mourn for her father, and the road is not quiet, and the king is not on this road, and the daughter does not have to come back immediately to mourn and can prevaricate. But the eldest daughter of the Wang family is a hard temper, the road from Banzhou to Guiyang, how many times has she walked, her father also took this road when he came to Chongqing last year, but he didn't want to happen this time, and he listened to the funeral report to explain the matter, and he was about to come, but her husband stopped her, and entrusted the familiar officials in Chongqing to go on the road with the grain brigade, and wrote a letter to explain.

Speaking of the Qingming arrangement, Xiao Shi told again: "Speaking of which, Xiaoliu is also hard this time, his father is gone, and you will also go to the pillar incense on the Qingming Festival, and send some wine gifts, so you can do your best." ”

"My son saved it, and he had already prepared it."

Seeing that his son was sensible, Xiao was relieved. In fact, that day and night attacked the horsehair department, Wang Xiaoliu chased after him in the morning, and he was originally guilty about fleeing back that day, but Wang Xingping comforted him in person, saying that Wang Xiaoliu was grateful, and then gave a lot of silver money to Commander Gu's cronies, and they were all happy, that Wang Xiaoliu originally grew up with Wang Xingping, how did he not know the young master's temper, he didn't want to experience this time, although he still loves to make his temperament, but he has a little more calm and steady appearance, I don't know if it is a blessing in disguise, and he seriously punished the barbarians and traitors, admired his young master even more, and when he came back to mention it to his master, it also made Xiao feel quite pleased.

"Your uncle's house is also going to see the ceremony."

This is the case, it is inevitable that the local government has seen the face of Wang Jinshi's family, and Wang Mingde has also contributed a lot in the middle, although he has come to thank him a few days ago, but the Qingming ancestor worship is naturally different, and since the last meeting, Wang Mingde has quite appreciated Wang Xingping, and intends to cultivate in the clan.

After saying this, Xiao Shi said: "Now that the place is not peaceful, I am a woman's family, and it is not good to hold up the façade, but now fortunately, there is still the clan in charge." My son should be born hard, learn from your clan uncle to have a serious birth, it is always a way out, and this family business will be handed over to you to carry. ”

"The son has taken care of it, and since he has returned, he has rested for a few days, and today it is time to consult with his mother." Since he has experienced all kinds of things in this life, how Wang Xingping doesn't know the benefits of studying and being an official, if it weren't for his father's identity and the support of the clan, whether he can solve it is another matter, let's just say that his own methods, without a good background of luxury, are also difficult to move an inch. After all, he recently lost his father, and he had to keep the system for three years, even if he was a prodigy, he would have to be eligible to participate in the scientific examination after three years of service, and now he has to work hard to maintain the family business.

After sorting out his thoughts again, Wang Xingping solemnly said to his mother: "My son will not let go of his homework, there are still a few years, but the family industry needs to be presiding, and my son is about to ask his mother to tell me about the situation at home today." "The examination was just held last year, and the next subject two years later, although they have completed the funeral (note: the Ming Dynasty scholars are not allowed to participate in the imperial examination during the mourning, and the so-called three years of filial piety is actually twenty-five months, that is, the third year only keeps the first month, and there are also two months to keep the twenty-seven months, but it is not necessary to keep the full three years), but it is not possible to participate, has not been in the year (note: if the year name remains the same, when it is the forty-seventh year of Wanli, that is, two years later) Although the examination is after February, he is just full, but before thatIt is necessary to pass the township examination of the first year, and to participate in the township examination, it is necessary to pass the county examination, the government examination and the hospital examination this year. In terms of time, it is only on the subject five years later, but fortunately, there is a lot of time, and during the period of filial piety, it was only said that the imperial examination could not be taken, but I did not hear that it was not allowed to study. Besides, Wang Xingping also has more important things to do.
