Except for shooting an arrow at the beginning, Zhang Miao didn't make a move, but rode slowly on the street, watching his rural soldiers chase and intercept the thieves, and then kill them one by one.

The bandit warfare has made these township soldiers in Sanshui Village fully mature, and they are no longer weaker than the regular army in terms of their personal combat strength and mutual cooperation.

Sima Qian followed Zhang Miao's side at first, and when she saw the situation of the villagers chasing and killing the bandits, she couldn't help but be enthusiastic, drew out her short sword and rushed out.

Zhang Miao was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect this beautiful girl to be a violent woman, so she hurriedly slapped her horse and caught up with the guards. This girl is his bargaining chip to keep Sima Hui, but he can't afford to lose.

"Wow!" The girl crouched on the ground and vomited vigorously. Just now, she stabbed a sword into the back of a thief, and after pulling out the sword, blood shot out, and she suddenly couldn't hold it anymore.

Zhang Miao got off the horse and asked funny, "Are you okay?" ”

"No, it's okay," the girl's hand without a sword waved behind her, "Wow", another burst of vomiting.

"It's okay, well, I'm used to spitting and spitting." Zhang Miao said with a smile.

What are these words? The girl tilted her head and stared at Zhang Miao angrily, but the nausea suddenly disappeared.

"There should be a lot of thieves in the village, do you want to kill a few more to have fun?" Zhang Miao said with a smile.

Sima Qian shook her head: "I have to go to my father." ”

Zhang Miao said with a smile: "Don't worry, Zhang Ping has already taken someone to look for it, this village is so big, it will be rescued soon." ”

Sure enough, after a while, Zhang Pingxing rushed over, and all the people who were caught by the thieves were found, and in a courtyard in the middle of the village, Sima Qian hurriedly rushed away.

"How? Is Sima Hui still alive? Zhang Miao asked.

Zhang Ping replied, "Alive." The leader of the Dugou thieves originally wanted to kill people directly, but Sun Ji told him that many of these people belonged to the Xiangyang family and could stay and ask for a ransom, but the leader of the thieves was too stupid to agree. ”

Zhang Miao smiled: "If you are not stupid, how can Sun Ji cooperate with him?" ”

It was very obvious that Sun Ji was forced to cooperate with Sanshui Village due to the situation, but he was afraid of becoming a thief, so he found some stupid guys as scapegoats. Then Zhang Miao led people to kill all these scapegoats, and no one knew the truth of the matter.

"Sun Ji took half of the money and goods, and the rest are in another courtyard, I have already taken people to take a general look, there are satin linen, and a cart of cowhide, and the rest are copper coins, about a few thousand." Zhang Ping said excitedly.

Zhang Miao took a breath of cool air: "What a huge fortune!" ”

In this era, cloth was a hard currency, and private transactions were often settled in cloth. Cowhide has great military value and is used to make armor. The caravan robbed by Sun Ji actually carried this kind of goods, which shows that there is a great background behind it.

Zhang Ping said: "I have already sent someone to ask, the caravan that was robbed is from the Cai family in Xiangyang. They smuggled grain to the Central Plains all year round. Ah Miao, the Cai family is very powerful, I'm afraid we can't afford to offend, these belongings? ”

Zhang Miao said indifferently: "How can there be any reason to return what you eat in your mouth?" The people we saved them should be grateful. ”

took Zhang Ping into the courtyard of the Guan people, and saw that the courtyard was full of people tied by ropes, all of them were so haggard, and Sima Qian was holding a handsome middle-aged scribe crying and laughing. Seeing Zhang Miao come in, the middle-aged scribe patted Sima Qian on the back, Sima Qian left from his arms, and when he looked at Zhang Miao, he was very embarrassed.

"Grandpa, this is Zhang Miao and Zhang Sanjiang, the young governor of Sanshui Township, the son of Deng Yi You, this time he led the troops to rescue everyone." Sima Qian said.

Then he said to Zhang Miao: "This is my grandfather." ”

"Sima Hui has seen Governor Zhang Shaodu, thank you Shaodu for saving his life." Sima Hui hurriedly bowed down and thanked him.

Zhang Miao hurriedly returned the salute and said with a smile: "Everyone is a family, Mr. Sima doesn't have to be polite." ”

Sima Hui was stunned for a moment, a family? What does that mean? couldn't help but look at his daughter suspiciously.

Sima Qian twisted her body uneasily, and said softly: "Grandpa, they promised to teach at Sanshui Academy for three years. ”

Sima Hui: "Sanshui Academy? ”

Zhang Miao said with a smile: "Mr. Sima, I feel that the villagers and the neighboring people are so ignorant that I have set up an academy in Xia, and I am ready to invite famous people as professors to teach the children and teenagers in the village to read, so as to cultivate talents for the Han Dynasty." Ling Ai is very interested in the academy and has agreed to take up a teaching position in the academy girls' school. Let Ling Ai talk to Mr. slowly about this matter, and I'll take someone to untie these people first. ”

Sima Hui was full of surprise and inexplicable, looked at his daughter in surprise, and then looked at the caravan and companions tied up in the courtyard, so he could only keep his mouth shut for a while.

Zhang Ping took a few township soldiers to untie these people, and the people who were untied also helped, and soon, dozens of people in the yard were untied, and they all stepped forward to thank Zhang Miao.

Zhang Miao said: "We are the rural soldiers under Deng Yi You, and it is our duty to arrest the thieves, so you don't have to thank you." It's just that this year, Huyang was robbed by the thief Marshal Zhoucang, countless villages were robbed, many people were displaced, and they chose to be thieves under hunger, which made the situation in Huyang extremely tense. My father's new Deng Yi You, in the face of this situation, can only encourage support, and I can't eliminate all the thieves, so I am deeply sorry that everyone suffers this crime. ”

A steward of the caravan named Cai Mi hurriedly said: "We have heard of the chaos in Huyang for a long time, but we didn't expect it to be so powerful. This kind of chaos is that Huyang Ling has no choice, and it naturally has nothing to do with your father and son. Today, thanks to the rescue of the young governor, my Xiangyang Cai family is deeply grateful. ”

After a few more polite words, the steward Cai Mi asked tentatively: "Shaodu Dudu, you led people to defeat the thieves, I don't know what goods can be seen?" ”

Zhang Miao frowned: "What goods?" ”

Cai Mi hurriedly said: "I was ordered by the head of the family to go to Xudu to trade, and when I returned, I brought back more than ten goods, including cloth, cowhide, and copper coins. If the young governor can help find it, my Cai family will definitely be grateful! ”

Zhang Miao said lightly: "I'll let people look for it, but don't get your hopes up." ”

"Young Governor!" When Cai Mi wanted to continue talking, Zhang Miao waved his hand, but he didn't want to say more to him.

Cai Mi's face was very ugly, but there was nothing he could do. About fifty people were rescued, seven or eight of them were caravan guys, a caravan of more than forty people, and more than thirty guards were killed by thieves, and the goods were lost, Cai Mi really didn't know how to go back to Xiangyang to meet the head of the family, Cai Mao.

Zhang Miao was naturally not interested in Cai Mi, he was interested in Sima Hui and several other scribes who were rescued.
