In addition to Sima Hui, there were three scribes, one named Feng Cheng, Yingyin, one named Du Liang, a native of Changshe, and one named Lu Yuan, but he was a fellow villager with Sima Hui.

Zhang Miao thought about it carefully, she had no impression of these three people in her memory, they should all be unknowns, and most of her interest was on Sima Hui.

After clearing the Dugou bandits, Zhang Chuang personally led people to chase after him, and killed the last thief who escaped from the village, and confirmed that there was no fish that slipped through the net, Zhang Miao asked Sima Hui and others to leave the village.

Looking at the corpses of thieves in different ways inside and outside the village, everyone who was rescued was secretly frightened.

"Young Governor, if you dare to ask, you can leave a living mouth, you can ask about the whereabouts of the intercepted property." Cai Mi asked unwillingly.

Zhang Miao called Zhang Chuang and deliberately asked, "Did you hear what Steward Cai said, but is there a living mouth?" ”

Zhang Chuang touched his head and said in an urn: "These thieves are too stubborn, they all resist desperately, and the brothers didn't leave their hands for a while, so there is no one left alive." ”

Zhang Miao asked Zhang Chuang to go down, and said helplessly to Cai Mi: "Steward Cai, you heard it, and the brothers have no choice."

You don't know, there are too many such bandits in Huyang, they rob property, slaughter civilians, all of which are extremely heinous, if they are caught in the government, they will inevitably die, so they know that they will die, and they are very stubborn. ”

Cai Mi had nothing to say, so he could only follow behind in a huff.

There are more than 50 people, except for seven or eight Cai guys, and the rest are scholars and their families who went to Jingxiang from the Central Plains. For example, Sima Hui's family, in addition to Sima Hui and Sima Qian's father and daughter, there are five or six servants, and Feng Cheng, Du Liang, and Lu Yuan, each of them are also a family.

And now, the wealth they each carried with them has been robbed by thieves. Although he knew that Zhang Miao must have taken back a lot from the thieves, seeing that Zhang Miao had no intention of returning it to them, there was nothing he could do.

Of course, for them, it is already good to be able to save their lives, and they are already very grateful to Zhang Miao who saved them, and they have no face to ask Zhang Miao for money.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now that all the thieves have been killed, you are free, but you don't know where you are going?"

When he was about to arrive at Dengyi, Zhang Miao asked with a smile.

"Alas, we originally thought of buying a few acres of land to settle down in Xiangyang, but we lost all the wealth we carried with us, and even if we went to Xiangyang, there was no way, so we couldn't beg for food." Feng Cheng sighed.

Du Liang and Lu Yuan also had bitter faces, and their circumstances were similar to Feng Cheng's.

Sima Hui stroked his beard, wanting to comfort everyone, but he had nothing to say, because his experience was miserable by these three people.

Even if he has no wealth with him, after going to Xiangyang, at least there are Pang Degong's uncles and nephews to take refuge into, but he was cheated by his stupid daughter!

I don't know what means this kid surnamed Zhang used, but his daughter Sima Qian actually promised to stay for three years and become a professor at Rausch College! My daughter stays here, how can I go to Xiangyang?

Back? Sima Hui didn't dare.

This kid surnamed Zhang is too vicious, none of those thieves were killed, if he dares to repent, I don't know if he can reach Xiangyang alive!

"Hahaha, you don't have to worry. If you really have nowhere to go, go to my Sanshui Village. At this time, Zhang Miao laughed and said, "Although my Sanshui Village is not as good as Xiangyang, it is still possible to give you a stable residence."

As long as you are willing to settle down in Sanshui Village, I can give you 100 acres of fertile land each! ”

Feng Cheng, Du Liang and the others glanced at each other, and they all felt incredible.

"Young Governor, you, you are too generous, but I am immoral and incompetent, how can I be worthy of the kindness of the Young Governor?" Feng Cheng replied on behalf of everyone.

Zhang Miao smiled: "You don't have to think about it. My Sanshui Village is different from Xiangyang, it has just been robbed by bandits, the people in each village have suffered heavy casualties, and a large number of fields are barren, so the fields are worthless. ”

As Zhang Miao's words fell, everyone's faces turned even paler, the good land is worthless, but it's fatal! This Huyang territory is so dangerous, in fact, a place to live in peace?

Zhang Miao understood their thoughts and smiled, "You don't have to worry about security. The township soldiers of our Sanshui Village are very strong, and they have sent troops many times in the past two months, and they have exterminated more than 10 bandits. Now in Huyang, the bandits are not cleared, but the large number of bandits no longer exists. In the whole of Huyang County, the safest place is my Sanshui Village. ”

Lu Yuan asked tentatively, "The young governor might as well say bluntly, what can I do for you?" ”

Zhang Miao said: "Then I will say it bluntly, I have set up a college in the village, determined to cultivate real talents for the Han, now there are more than 100 students in the college, but there are only two or three teachers, so the purpose of inviting you to come to Sanshui Village is to be a professor in my Sanshui College." ”

It turned out to be a way to teach! Everyone understood, and suddenly felt much more relaxed.

"Governor Shaodu, can you let me wait for a discussion." Feng Chengdao.

Zhang Miao smiled slightly: "Of course." ”

Feng Cheng, Lu Yuan and the others got together and discussed, for a long time, but they couldn't decide.

"Brother Decao, you have always been wise, can you tell me how we should choose? Should you stay in Sanshui Village, or continue to Xiangyang? Seeing that Sima Hui had been silent, Lu Yuan asked.

Sima Hui smiled bitterly: "To be honest, the little girl has agreed to teach at Sanshui Academy for three years, and I have to stay." ”

"Ahh You really want to stay. Lu Yuan exclaimed.

Sima Hui said: "People can't stand without faith, and since they agree, they have to do it." But you have to think about the gains and losses, and you have to decide for yourself. ”

Lu Yuan sighed: "We are also hesitant and don't know how to choose." ”

Sima Hui suggested: "In this case, you might as well go to Sanshui Village first, and then decide to stop." ”

Lu Yuan nodded: "That's all it can be." ”

After listening to the decision of the three of them, Zhang Miao smiled slightly: "In this case, everyone will live in my Sanshui Village for a few days, and I promise that after everyone goes, they will not want to go to Xiangyang again." ”

Cai Mi and his entourage naturally did not stay in Sanshui Village, and said goodbye to everyone when they were in Dengyi. Considering that their belongings were all lost, Zhang Miao generously gave 200 yuan as travel expenses. Well, save some flowers, at least ensure that they hold on to Xiangyang.

For Zhang Miao, Cai Mi has mixed feelings, both grateful for his life-saving grace, but also angry that he is unwilling to return his property, but he has no choice but to leave with complicated feelings. As for how he will be punished by his head of the family after he arrives in Xiangyang, Zhang Miao doesn't care.

"A gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way, this Zhang Miao looks generous and chivalrous, but the pattern is a little small." Looking at the backs of Cai Mi and the others, Sima Hui whispered to his daughter.

"Father, are you saying that the young governor deliberately did not return the wealth of Steward Cai?" Sima Qian asked with wide eyes.
