In the evening of the same day, the Black Tiger Village.

"My lord, there is a person from outside the village, he claims to be the deputy garrison of Shouyang County, and he came to surrender."

"Oh?"

Wang Zezhi touched his chin, he remembered that there was also a Shouyang guard among the captives.

"Go to Yang Zhihui and bring the Shouyang garrison over."

"Yes."

A moment later, the blind garrison officer was brought in.

Although his eyes have been much better after Yang Zhihui's treatment, there is still some dull pain at the moment.

"My lord, what's the matter with calling the little one?"

The garrison officer endured the pain and asked flatteringly.

Flattery is a survival instinct of these people, and there is also a corresponding sloppy slap and do what they like.

As long as they can be promoted and make a fortune, they are willing to do anything.

"Sit, drink tea, watch a play."

The garrison officer didn't dare to ask more, so Shi Li retreated, sat down half of his buttocks, and gently picked up the teacup and drank it.

"My lord, the people brought it."

A middle-aged man with a beard and an old woman on his back walked in steadily.

He first put down the woman on his back and held her with a hand.

"I have to take care of my mother, I can't salute in time, and please don't mind."

The man bowed slightly and said without saying a word.

"Move a chair to his mother."

Wang Zezhi gave the order to go down, and immediately someone moved a chair for the woman to sit down.

"Thank you, sir!"

The man helped his mother to sit down and bowed slightly in thanks.

"I wonder why Your Excellency came here this time?"

Wang Zezhi did not call him a deputy garrison, and invited the real garrison over.

This man's mind turned and he understood that Wang Zezhi was doubting his motive for coming.

The man took out a piece of paper from his arms, which was given to him by Yu Zhong, and Yu Zhong gave him time to think about it, so he left the covenant to him.

Whether he signed the covenant or not, Yu Zhong left him the silver.

If he figured it out, he could sign it at any time.

The covenant has now been signed.

Ding Gang, that's his name.

The covenant he made was his decision, and he wanted to dedicate the entire Shouyang City to Wang Zezhi.

Wang Zezhi picked up the covenant handed over by his subordinates, glanced at it casually, and put it on the desk.

"Why did you come to me?"

"I haven't given money for six months, my mother is sick in bed, and I can only watch her lose weight, and there is nothing I can do.

My lord sent me silver, and took good care of my mother.

I only learned today that when I was hesitant, I had already helped my mother to invite Langzhong, and when I came home, I saw my mother getting out of bed and walking around. ”

Speaking of this, Ding Gang looked at his mother excitedly.

"Rebel!"

"Smack~"

Ding Gang's mother angrily threw the teacup in front of her, this blow seemed to exhaust her whole body's strength, she began to gasp violently, Ding Gang saw this and hurriedly ran over to pat her on the back.

This is a dutiful son.

After listening to Ding Gang's words, Wang Zezhi's suspicion of him was reduced a little, but he still had to confirm it.

"Is this true?" Wang Zezhi asked with his head sideways to the garrison.

"Absolutely."

When the garrison officer heard this, he immediately left his chair and bowed down to reply, Wang Zezhi waved his hand, and he sat back down.

"Rebel, even if I die, I won't let you be a thief."

Ding Gang's mother was quite strong, and even bent down with all her strength to pick up the fragments of the teacup.

However, her movements were easily stopped by Ding Gang.

"Well, what the old lady said is excellent."

Wang Zezhi smiled, he stepped down from the first seat, and came to Ding Gang's mother to give a salute.

"Phew! You are also worthy to give me a gift. ”

"Presumptuous!" The guards in the Hall of Loyalty couldn't stand it anymore, and shouted and scolded.

"Hmph, a bunch of thieves, you killed me, you can only play tricks."

"Hahaha..." Wang Zezhi couldn't help laughing, he knew that this was Ding Gang's mother's agitation method.

Because she didn't want her son to be a thief, she was bent on death, and she knew that as long as she died, Ding Gang would definitely not be a thief.

"May I ask the old lady, what is a thief?"

"You are thieves." Ding Gang's mother stretched out a trembling finger and pointed at Wang Zezhi, and Ding Gang gently took her hand back.

"I have never hurt heaven and reason, and I have never oppressed the good, how can I be a thief?"

"You are bandits, and bandits are thieves."

"That's right, we are indeed bandits, we exterminated the bandits in Black Tiger Village, and we also killed more than 1,000 people brought by Wenju people.

May I ask the old lady, who is the Wenju person? ”

"That one, who looks like a human and a dog, is actually a beast with a human face and a beast's heart."

She gasped for excitement again.

"Well said, beautifully said." Wang Zezhi exclaimed loudly.

"Thief, don't think that you can deceive me with rhetoric, I won't agree with my son to be a thief, don't dream, cough~"

"Mother, you speak lightly, lightly." Ding Gang glanced at Wang Zeyi helplessly, and continued to pat his mother on the back.

"Then the old lady thinks that Wenju is a thief?"

"Hmph, to say that he is a thief, that is to you underestimate him, that is a national thief, a national thief who steals the fat and ointment of the people."

"Hahaha... Very good. Wang Zezhi laughed out loud and went back to the case to get something.

"Hmph, you don't have anything to say, do you?" Ding Gang, his mother thought it was Wang Zezhi, but she withdrew.

"Hey, don't pretend, I've got a showdown.

I am a guerrilla general in Yanmen Pass, and the emperor specially gave a hundred households in brocade clothes, and was ordered by the emperor to secretly investigate Shouyang Zhixian and Wenju human resources and betrayal of the country. ”

Wang Zezhi sighed, stretched out his hands and shook his sleeves, and said shyly.

The subordinate presented the edict and the holy decree to her, she was suffocated for a while, she forgot her breath, she turned her head in disbelief and looked at Wang Zezhi, and said with difficulty: "Look." ”

Ding Gang trembled his hands, turned up the seal and looked at the bottom, and then wiped his hands on the sides of his robe, he was afraid that he would stain the holy decree.

Just as he swallowed and was about to touch the holy decree, the garrison knelt on the ground with a puff, walked quickly on his knees, and came to the holy decree with a handful of snot and tears and began to cry bitterly.

"The emperor, the emperor, the minister is wrong, the minister is wrong, the minister deserves death, the minister should not help the abuse, the minister should die..."

The garrison twitched his mouth as he spoke, his voice was loud, and his face was marked with red marks due to the exertion of force.

Ding Gang looked at the garrison, the corners of his eyes jumped, and he looked at the fingertips that had touched the holy decree in confusion, withdrew his hand regretfully, and knelt down.

Seeing the holy decree is like seeing the emperor in person, which is why the Shouyang Governor will bring civil and military officials to greet a eunuch a mile away.

"The old body... The old body couldn't kneel. Ding Gang and his mother saw the appearance of the garrison, where did they not know that this holy decree was true, at this moment she stammered, because she could not move around at will, she was about to cry in a hurry.

"Mother, I'll help you."

"Eh, okay, I heard that the emperor is a true dragon emperor, I am touched with dragon energy, and if I get drunk with dragon energy, maybe my illness will be cured."

Wang Zezhi thought she was afraid, but he didn't expect this kind of thought, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, looking at the farce-like scene in the lobby, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Imperial power, he is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people...
