The whole Shouchang Town because of the bandits siege of the city, every household is extremely nervous, and then I heard that the Qin envoy has repelled the bandits, and every house lights up, the noise is endless, quite lively.

Yao Tongshun was busy outside, but Ding Qi suddenly came to Zhou Zheng's room and said with a solemn expression: "My lord, I heard a piece of news." ”

Ding Qi is the younger brother of Zhou Zheng's sister-in-law, Zhou Ding, who has always been shy, Zhou Zheng is very encouraging to him, and said with a smile: "Tell me about it." ”

Ding Qi walked closer and said in a low voice: "Some villagers said that the imperial court actually sent several officials to Yongping Mansion, but everything happened. ”

Zhou Zheng's expression moved slightly, and he said, "Go on." ”

Ding Qi said: "I asked carefully, and the family said that they remembered that there were three terms, and some of them also came to Shouchang Town, but later, there was no news, and they didn't know the specific reason." ”

Zhou Zheng looked thoughtful, the prefect of Yongping Mansion has been vacant for more than half a year, and it stands to reason that it will not be vacant for such a long time, could it be that there is something hidden in it?

Thinking about Wang Baihe's speech and demeanor again, Zhou Zheng knocked on the table with his right hand and said, "You will call my family to my room later." ”

Ding Qi saw that Zhou Zheng was paying attention, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and said, "Well, I'll go now." ”

Zhou was thinking about tonight's events, his eyes flickering.

Not long after, Ding Qi came back and said, "My lord, Mayor Wang brought a few lieutenants to ask to see him. ”

Zhou Zheng picked up the teacup and said lightly: "Let them in." ”

Ding Qi responded, first called several of Zhou Zheng's family members and three secret guards, and then invited Wang Baihe and others.

Wang Baihe came, and brought three lieutenants of the same age, and when he saw Zhou Zheng, he raised his hand and said excitedly: "The villain has seen the patrol adult." ”

Zhou Zheng held the tea lid in his left hand, rubbed the tea, and said lightly: "A few lieutenants are not outside to appease the villagers, what are they doing when they come to see the official?" ”

Wang Baihe was stunned at first when he saw Zhou Zheng putting up an official ceremony, and hurriedly said with a smile: "The patrol lord repelled the bandits and kept my Shouchang Town safe, and the villain and a few others brought gifts and came to thank you." ”

Zhou Zheng looked at the tea and said without raising his head: "You guys are moving fast, so you have prepared a gift?" ”

Seeing Zhou Zheng's indifferent expression, several people couldn't help but glance at each other, Wang Baihe was a little apprehensive, raised his hand and said: "My lord, the local people are poor, and they can't get anything good......

"Are you hiding something from your own officials?"

Zhou Zheng continued to rub the tea, interrupted him, and said: "More than two hundred bandits, it is a coincidence that the city was besieged when the official came, if you can't explain clearly, the official will treat you as an accomplice!" ”

Wang Baihe and the others were startled, and knelt on the ground with a pop, and the three people behind Wang Baihe only shouted that they were wronged.

Zhou Zheng squinted and looked at Wang Baihe indifferently.

Wang Baihe knew that he couldn't hide it, so he gritted his teeth and said: "My lord, the local area has been robbed a few times before, and many people died. This time they came to besiege the city, they should have known the news of the arrival of the adults in advance, and the town was ...... There may also be people of them...... Ventilation ......"

Zhou Zheng didn't have any emotion on his face, and said: "There are more than two hundred bandits, it's not so easy to feed, this is Beizhili, close to Shanhaiwei, how did they gain a foothold?" ”

Wang Baihe's face changed again, the corners of his face were straight, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything.

Zhou Zheng picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "Without the people on the official face to take care of them, they can't do anything." It seems that there are people who don't want this official to come to Yongping Mansion, and my predecessors also died like this today? ”

Wang Baihe's body trembled, and he lowered his head more and more.

Zhou Zheng looked at the three of them and said lightly: "Colluding with bandits and murdering court officials, that is a serious crime, killing the head, raiding the house, you can choose." ”

Wang Baihe sat up suddenly behind him and said, "Adult, the villain said that the villain said, and please bypass the villain's whole family......"

The other two immediately cried out, all begging for mercy.

Murdering the court officials is not a joke, the little people are a catastrophe!

Wang Baihe knelt on the ground, trembling, but still gritted his teeth and refused to speak.

Zhou Zheng looked at him with a playful expression, and said to himself: "It seems that the pool of water in Yongping Mansion is more muddy than the official thinks...... Come, take the three of them out for trial. ”

The three secret guards agreed, and took the three lieutenants out, leaving Wang Baihe behind.

Zhou Zheng took the teacup again and said: "This official came to Yongping Mansion with an order, not to mention that there is no prefect, even if there is, then you have to listen to this official, if you are disobedient, this official has a hundred ways to make him feel bad." You don't want to say it, and the official is not embarrassed, go, appease the townspeople, and the official will rush to Yongping Mansion tomorrow as scheduled. ”

Wang Baihe's face changed and changed, and finally he didn't say a word, got up and left.

Ding Qi watched Wang Baihe leave like this, and said suspiciously: "My lord, I think he seems to be very afraid." ”

Zhou Zheng nodded lightly and said, "There are two things he is afraid of, first, the official can't stand in Yongping Mansion, and those people will settle accounts after the autumn; Second, it was those bandits, he was afraid that they would come to retaliate. ”

Ding Qi thought for a while and said, "My lord, the scourge of bandits is getting worse and worse, and now Yongping Mansion is under the rule of adults, so it can't continue like this." ”

Zhou Zheng didn't expect that this Yongping Mansion was even more serious than he expected, so he pondered for a moment, picked up the pen and ink, quickly wrote a letter, handed it to Ding Qi, and said, "You will send this letter out tomorrow." ”

Ding Qi looked at the words 'Supervisor personally enlightened', unwilling to slack off, and immediately agreed.

When the sky was slightly bright, Shangguan Qing, Shangguan Lie and others came back.

Shangguan Qing pursed his lips, his pretty face was a little unwilling, and said, "People, I didn't catch it." ”

Zhou Zheng looked at Shangguan Qing, he only knew that she knew some fist and foot kung fu before, but he didn't expect this charge to be so neat, and couldn't help but be curious: "How many years have you been walking?" ”

Before Shangguan Qing could speak, Shangguan Lie said: "My lord, you don't know, my sister has followed my father around since she was a child, and she killed mountain bandits at the age of twelve, and over the years, there have been not a hundred but eighty bandits who have died in his hands, and many officials have also sent plaques to my sister......

Zhou Zheng looked at Shangguan Qing in front of him, and still couldn't believe the scene of charging into battle just now, with his hand up and down, clean and neat.

After being stunned for a moment, he woke up, waved his hand, looked at the blood stains on their bodies, and said, "A bandit, it doesn't matter, are you okay?" ”

Shangguan Lie grabbed the words again and said, "It's okay, you don't know, my sister's role model is General Qin Liangyu Qin, where can she be injured so easily." My lord, I don't even have anyone around you to protect you, or my sister will make you a personal companion......"

Shangguan Qing turned his head fiercely and looked at Shangguan Lie with a very calm expression.

Shangguan Lie trembled, his face was full of fear, and his lips trembled: "Sister, am I wrong?" ”

Zhou Zheng looked at their sister and brother, laughed, stood up and said, "Don't worry so much, go back and take a shower, change your clothes, and tomorrow morning, we will continue to hurry." ”

Several people agreed and left Zhou Zheng's room one after another.

Not long after leaving, Shangguan Lie's terrifying screams were heard throughout the inn.
