"Wang Si is outside, so it will be disrespectful." Liao Si looked at Mr. Qian Qian, who was laughing loudly in front of him, and said in his heart that a quarter of an hour ago, this person was still furious about Wang Zhongde's meddling, and his two faces were as lively as the shadow puppet show he had seen in the Guiyang City Restaurant in the past. "It's really unprofitable and can't afford to be early," Liao Si couldn't help but slander in his heart.

Just now, he listened to Wang Zhongde's instructions and came back to find people and horses to help, and naturally he couldn't hide the battle from the battalion commander, so he came to report to General Qian Qian. Originally, Wang Zhongde jumped out of the camp, Xifeng was the guard of Guizhou Wei, Wang Zhongde and Qianzhong Wanjia are hereditary military households, because of the special public security situation in Guizhou, the people and horses of Xifeng are battalions with military positions, in essence, although they are still guards, but they also have to listen to the deployment of the general army, but they are not in the camp of Guiyang City. However, in this resting place, he still has the largest amount of money.

Wang Zhongde's family is an old local land, and speaking of which, he Qian Zhongwan, a partial bridge guard, is also half a layman, but his elder brother used to be the capital of Guizhou, although he has now been transferred, but after all, there is someone behind him. On weekdays, I can't say much about Wang Zhongde and his subordinates, but Liao Si's mind is still saying, there is no profit and no early, the heads of the two barbarians are in front of them, even if they are already Qianzong, they can't get rid of the temptation. What's more, Liao Si said that this matter involves the relatives of Fourth Brother Wang, or the extravagant Wang family of Guiyang Mansion, and he will not be good, as long as he is a little more accommodating, such credit will only be more in the future.

Although the Ming Dynasty used civil power to control the military, and the general soldiers of a province did not dare to speak loudly in front of ordinary civilian officials, when it came to promotion, the military generals with military merits were much faster than ordinary civilian officials who had honed their qualifications. Speaking of this time alone, as long as the news sent back by Liao Si is indeed correct, a double-digit beheading is enough to report a big victory.

Qian Qian didn't seem to be worried about the crime of manslaughter, according to Liao Si, a living man died in front of them, what kind of good man could be who committed such a crime? Whether it is a thief or a bandit, if you catch it, you will have to kill one of them. The key is that there is still a living mouth to confirm this time, so you must always find a source in this place, otherwise you will not be able to explain the plan. At this time, there is no so-called political correctness, the lives of the young people are not in the heart of the government, as long as there is no chaos, there will be no risk, not to mention even if it is really chaotic, what can it do? It has been less than 20 years since Yang Yinglong's rebellion, how can Qian Zhongwan, who is barely a party, not know the stakes involved?

Yang Yinglong's ancestor is the late Tang Dynasty should be recruited into Sichuan to conquer the Nanzhao Banzhou consolation envoy Yang Duan, since the end of the Tang Dynasty took advantage of the chaos to possess Banzhou, and then his ancestor Yang Keng surrendered to Ming, since Wanli, when Yang Yinglong rebelled, Yang has been operating in Banzhou for more than 700 years, and it is a local tyrant with deep roots. Calculated hard, the ancestors of the Yang family are also Han Chinese, if it weren't for the imperial court's desire to change the land in Banzhou, and the local government's quarrel, it would not have gotten to the point of trouble later. Banzhou (that is, the later Zunyi and Pingyue Erfu, which was originally attributed to the Sichuan Buzheng Division, was the beginning of Yang Yinglong's rebellion, that is, "the five divisions and seven surnames under its jurisdiction were unbearable, and Guizhou changed", and the joint was precisely the contradiction between Sichuan and Guizhou. After the 28th year of Wanli Pingyang Yinglong, Banzhou was divided into two, Zunyi military and civilian government belonged to Sichuan, and Pingyue Fu belonged to Guizhou, but after the local Han people, local people, or used to call Banzhou) after the chaos, the imperial court immediately changed the land and returned to the stream, but no official was punished for "opening the border provocation without permission", which is evident. The attitude of the imperial court is like this, so how can the officials below be afraid that things will not make a big fuss? Dozens of miles around this resting place, the heads of the local people are never lacking, and in the face of merit, what is the life of the young people.

With common interests, the commander's decision was made quickly: "You pass on the order, first bring the carriage and horses to bring Wang Si and them to the fort, hard work you run two more trips, the head of the thief must also be brought back, there are barbarian thieves on the official road between Banzhou and Guiyang, the matter is big, when the general will personally confirm it, if it is true, together with our credit this time to report, but also let the walled fort along the way know, so be careful and vigilant, don't miss the thief." "Qian Qian always talked about credit, so he used me instead of you, how did Liao Si not understand his thoughts.

Completed the task easily, Liao Si didn't want to look at Shangguan twice, so he only made a strong guarantee: "The villain will take care of it, don't worry, the master will not be less, there will be no shortage of people and heads, I will rush there overnight." ”

…………

"That's what Qian Yuzi said?" Wang Zhongde looked at Liao Si, who had just dismounted and was raising his neck to pour cold water into his stomach, and asked, The military men below have never looked down on this Shangguan very much, and today they drank some wine, and there was less restraint in front of their brothers. Qian Qian always suffered from eye disease in his early years and left a scar on his left eye, so he got the nickname of Qian Yuzi.

Liao Si was not in a hurry, drank the water, and lifted the cuffs to wipe his mouth dry, only then Shi Shiran replied: "Fourth brother is right, seeing the beheading skill, Qian San really went on the road, and was anxious for me to bring you and the beheading skill back to the fort." "Liao Si happened to know that there were three in the middle of the ten thousand families.

Wang Zhongde looked around, and said to the young man and the servant on the side: "I'm afraid it won't work tonight, if you don't bring these, it's better to say, and wait until tomorrow morning to get up and hurry, you have tied the horse, and tomorrow you have to call to feed more good food." "In ancient society, it is never easy to travel at night, Liao Si can come back because he is familiar with the terrain and brings horses, in fact, during the New Year, if it weren't for these many dead bodies, he could have gone to his uncle's house to disturb again, after all, he found his nephew, but now such a battle, although it is still close, it is not good to bring bad luck back to his uncle's house.

After explaining this, Wang Zhongde went to sit down by the fire, and pulled Wang Xingping to talk about interesting stories about Guiyang.

At this moment, Wang Xingping no longer had the slightest grief of 'losing his father', and also found a place to sit down, but a rabbit on the fire did not touch it.

"According to the fifth brother's words, Wang Jinshi's house is next door to your house?"

"As long as I can remember, I was still in infancy when I was a jinshi in the clan uncle, and then the clan uncle was no longer at home, and I came and went from my uncle's side." Wang Xingping said that it is naturally Wang Mingde, the two portals are comparable, and there are many walks around on weekdays, which can be corroborated by his own memory.

"Today's gang of barbarians is strange, the fifth brother is young, he doesn't know the middle joint, it seems that these barbarians are also used to looking at the style, thinking that the fifth brother's family team is like this, with many companions as a family, how can it be easy to start." Wang Zhongde saw that Wang Xingping didn't eat rabbit meat, so he ate and drank by himself. "Besides, this thief died a strange death."

Wang Xingping sloppily said, "It's always the fourth brother and brother who are powerful." ”

Wang Zhongde saw that Wang Xingping's accent was strange from time to time, but he was frightened, and he didn't care much, and he really didn't know how this gang of barbarians died? This is strange, and when I think about it, it can't be this young man alone, otherwise how could this family end up in such a situation, and that trace of doubt will disappear.

…………

When the sun shone through the forest on Wang Xingping's face, it was already noon on the second day, and a group of people had already set up the carriage and horses, and settled the remains of the old man of the Wang family and his family into the car, ate dry food, and went all the way to the southeast along the official road. But two hours, when the midday sun was high and spread over the land, a low earthen wall in front of me fell into view.

Although Xifeng is in front of the official road, there are hundreds of merchants gathered outside, but if you talk about the shape of the city, it is not big, and it has not been repaired for a long time.

The sun is good during the day these days, after noon, the people who rush to the market have set up a lot of battles outside the Xifeng Station, Guizhou is barren, the local people have no consumption, and most of them are bartering for some salt and tea for home.

Baowu was sent to the market by his mother-in-law early in the morning, and the villages within a radius of more than ten miles were all rushed outside this military fort, and Baimatong, where Baowu was located, was no exception.

Baowu's family was originally Hanmin, only because he joined his wife's family to have such a name, in fact, he should have been surnamed Yang, because he was the only son in the family, he was only called Yang Da by those who knew him.

Yang Da farms in Tongzi on weekdays, and in the slack season, he will pick up the cured meat that he is usually reluctant to eat to collect some daily use, within a radius of ten miles, and the people who can often drink wine and eat meat are probably the soldiers and masters in this fort. Different from the northern military households, the military households here in Guizhou have many backgrounds, and they are not like the poor men who are so bitter, and because they want to suppress the few people, many of the local military households are in the battalion and the soldiers.

According to the usual practice to the fifteenth day of the first month, the city of Fucheng will put lights, for three days, in addition to the lantern festival in the city, Yang Da has seen the big scene is only the dam under this fort, selling all kinds of fresh fruits, there are glutinous rice with beans steamed in a bamboo tube to sell, there are all kinds of wandering rivers and lakes Lang Lang and fortune telling, Yang Da only wants to exchange some cash today, in addition to exchanging some oil and salt, but also have to list some money, in the first month of Shangfu City is a good life and leisure.

While shouting silently and looking at it, Yang Da immediately had a harvest.

Seeing the old patron coming, Yang Da, who was still dozing off at the base of the wall, came to his senses, "Fourth Brother Liao, I'm going to go on business early this morning." When I saw Liao Si and his entourage, it was obvious that he had just come back from outside, and when he looked at it again, he saw Fourth Brother Wang, Xue Liu, and the nephew of the Wang family, whose nickname was Double Happiness. The heart said, 'This is home and ate a night at the bar'.

"Isn't this Yang Da of Baimatong, who was kicked out by your mother-in-law again?"

"What did Fourth Brother Liao say, so that villains are not allowed to do serious business?"

"There's a good cured meat for me to cut a few pounds."

When Yang Da heard this, he sang a promise on his lips, but his movements were slow, but his expression could not hide from Liao Si.

"Don't worry, you have cash today."

Although Yang Da said that he was afraid of his wife, he was accustomed to looking at his face, and knew that there must be something good about this team of military masters, so he didn't ask much, only cut more than half of the fattest cured meat, and there were also small five catties, and wrapped it in leaves and handed it to Liao Si, Liao Si did not break his word, and went to his arms to take a small piece of broken silver, Yang Da weighed it slightly in his hand, about two dollars, although it was variegated silver, but it was far worth the price of meat, so he retreated with a thousand thanks, "The heart of this guy Qiu Ba today is a rare generosity."

He didn't know that he saved Wang Xingping yesterday, and immediately checked the convoy's goods, there was a lot of cash, some of which were hidden on his body and not taken away, and some were carried by the natives killed by Wang Xingping, and they were also snatched from the master and servant of the Wang family, but Wang Xingping himself had no concept of silver, and most of what he found at that time was broken silver, which was not as bright as the one in the costume drama in his impression, so he couldn't recognize it. When Wang Zhongde took Liao Si and others to check and counted more than 300 taels, Wang Xingping made his own decisions and divided the silver taels with Wang Zhongde's brothers, and divided a hundred taels in the middle to point out the chief of the guard. In fact, there are already many lost silver soldiers who have already taken it away by themselves, so it is better to be a favor. is a close leader like Liao Si who got more than 20 taels at one time, which is enough for him to pay for two years, how can he not contribute to the young master of the Wang family?

Yang Da didn't know where to go, only saw a team of people and horses with vehicles heading towards the fort, but saw a few heads hanging on the backs of a few horses, three horses, and there were twenty heads on their backs? Looking at the hideous face again, but the buns were all native, but when he saw one of them, Yang Da exclaimed. Liao Si in front turned around and glared at Yang Da fiercely: "What's the call, does grandpa need to give you the money?" ”

Yang Da knew that he was reckless, and he sang the promise again and again and retreated to the side, but Wang Xingping saw it, thoughtfully, and walked a few steps from behind to Yang Da, "This little brother should not be frightened, the heads of the people on the horse are the credit of the military masters, the barbarians are hateful, they dare to rob and kill the good people on the official road between the north and the south, this time they will never be spared, I see that the little brother is in a situation, it seems that there are disadvantages, you just have to tell me, you have the master of the king and the lord of the money castle for you, and the reward is indispensable to you." ”

When Wang Xingping talked about Wang and Qian, he did not call them official positions, but replaced them with common names, presumably because he was afraid that Yang Da would not understand. I ate and drank with the soldiers all night last night, and I also talked a lot, since the soldiers have the heart to make friends, and they also have questions to answer this rich young master, it is less than half a day, and I know a lot about things outside. As for the reward, Liao Si's style today is proof, of course, Wang Xingping will not let people be lucky, since he saw that something was wrong, he had to chase and fight, so he changed his face again, and said in a stupid voice: "Of course, this matter is very important, it is a first-class military situation, if you don't report it, and you take your own life for nothing, it will not be worth it." ”

When Wang Xingping spoke, Wang Zhongde and the others had already come up, originally saved the young master of the Wang family on the first day, and got him a lot of silver, although he did not mean to be contemptuous of the newly recognized fifth brother, but he didn't think there was anything special about it, a rich man with good luck, and the Guiyang Wang family was implicated, maybe there would be some benefits in the Weizhong Mansion in the future. But just a conversation, the fourth brother has a new understanding of the young descendant, is this really a weak scholar who has recently lost his father? The old spiciness, even the old officials in the county government, have to sigh to themselves. How did he know that Wang Xingping This is the accumulation of hundreds of years of history and decades of experience in human affairs, coupled with the natural reaction under the influence of various palace fights and bloody dramas in modern society, that is, it is just a miraculous effect on such ignorant ancients.

But he didn't want this Yang Da to really enter the alley, and he didn't hesitate for long, so he saw and told what was related to the life of his family: "Official, the villain is wronged, but he doesn't care about the villain's business, the villain just happened to recognize one of the horses who had eaten a wine in Baimatong." ”

Liao Si on the side said with a smile: "I haven't heard you eat and drink on weekdays, this barbarian is a foreigner, how much do I know in the white horse, who would dress up like this?" "Liao Si is right, firstly, Yang Da is upside down, and the Hun family is a native of the country, famous for its pungency, since there will be no time for him to drink, and secondly, although this Baimatong is a young people, but in the previous generations, there are few ancestors who are not Han. Although the sage has a saying that 'if you enter the summer, you will be summer, and if you enter the Yi, you will be the same', but in Guiyang Mansion, there are few people who regard such a tongzi as a child, and it is not the habit of the locals to wear hair and tattoos.

"Fourth Brother Liao has heard something, the villain is not talking about himself."

"Which one is that?"

"Aji."
