Lin Yi and the others walked a short distance, and they found that there was one person missing from them, Zhang Hua was gone, and when they asked the people around them, they all said that they hadn't seen them.

Because of Zhang Hua's bad deeds, since he followed Lin Yi, he didn't dare to be a traitor anymore, and he also made meritorious contributions, people's opinions of him have changed, but his popularity is still not good.

Therefore, with him or not, I don't care too much.

Lin Yi ordered the team to stop, and found the soldiers who were on patrol last night, and one of the patrolmen said that Zhang Hua went out to at about three watches last night, and he didn't come back this time.

After daybreak, everyone was so busy pulling out the camp that they forgot about him.

"I haven't come back for so long, this kid has either become a deserter or has been captured by the Tartars." Two Tiger Road.

He Tao shook his head, "If he wanted to be a deserter, he would have fled a long time ago, and no Tartars were found nearby, there were thieves attacking the village last night, could it have something to do with them?" ”

"This kid has good skills, ordinary thieves can't deal with him, is it an old mistake again." Wang Jian knows Zhang Hua better, he is his veteran.

Lin Yi looked at Wang Jian: "Brother Wang, you work hard for me, bring a few brothers who entered the village last night, and get this kid back."

After Wang Jian received the order, he took He Tao, Erhu, Gan Bao, Jiang Xingyuan and more than a dozen other people and flew away.

The reason why Wang Jian wanted to bring He Tao and Erhu was because these two were most familiar with Zhang Hua, and they were all the same banner before the border soldiers entered the station.

Half an hour later, they entered a village.

The whole village was searched, and there was no one left. There are still smoke in several houses, which is the sin that the thieves did last night after entering the village and could not find anyone.

Under the leadership of Gan Bao and others, they flew to a mountain forest more than ten miles away.

As soon as I reached the edge of the forest, a pedestrian came out of it in a hurry, looking back as he went.

The second tiger was sharp-eyed and shouted: "Zhang Hua? You're really here...... kid."

It was Zhang Hua who came, but as soon as he saw Erhu and Wang Jian and others, he ran away without saying a word.

"Don't run, you kid stop, or I'll shoot my bow and arrows." Erhu said that the bow and arrow were taken off.

At the same time, He Tao, Gan Bao, Jiang Xingyuan and others each drew knives and guns and began to surround them.

"Live!" Wang Jian shouted.

Soon Zhang Hua had no way to escape, and was finally forced by Erhu with a bow and arrow, He Tao threw him to the ground, then untied his trouser belt and tied his hands.

At this time, Wang Jian also came over, and Erhu kicked him, "Say, what bad things did you do last night?" ”

"I ...... I didn't do anything......"

"What did you do when you saw us running?"

"You were the ones who chased me first......"

"You're fucking dishonest, aren't you, why are you here, and on whose orders?" Erhu and He Tao, you say a word to me, like a thief.

"I had a stomachache yesterday...... Just come out and get herbal medicines......" Zhang Hua was hesitant, and some of the preambles did not match the afterword.

"Stomach aches, is there no medicine in the barracks? It's dozens of miles away from the camp, and you kid has been looking for herbs for a night, right? Damn, if you dare to talk nonsense, I'll shoot you with one arrow! ”

With a squeak, the second tiger filled his bow, and the arrow reached his throat.

"I said I said ......" Zhang Hua felt that he couldn't hide it anyway, and told the truth.

Wang Jian and He Tao, Erhu and others exploded, He Tao and Erhu came up with a punch and kick, and Zhang Hua rolled around on the ground to learn how to bark.

In the end, Wang Jian waved his hand and didn't let them fight.

Zhang Hua, who had a blue nose and swollen face, begged: "Lord Wang, brothers, you have beaten and scolded, and you have scolded and scolded, and you can't kill people to the ground, I, Zhang Hua, know that I am wrong, and I won't dare next time, will you spare me?"

Zhang Hua knelt down as he spoke, snorting and tearing, but no one pitied him.

Wang Jian scolded: "You are a bad seed, you dare not do it, and you still have a face to cry!"

"Lord Wang, no matter what, please."

"It's useless to tell me, talk to Lord Lin!"

"Lord Lin has to kill me, no matter what, you can't ignore it, for the sake of our brothers......"

"Shut your foul mouth, who's a brother with you!" Erhu glared at him and took a bite.

When Zhang Hua saw it, he regretted it, but he had to resign himself to fate.

In the end, Wang Jian felt that it was a bit inappropriate to take Zhang Hua away like this, and he decided to go to the forest to see the victims......

"Chief Bao, there were thieves in the village last night, they found nothing, and finally burned a few houses and left."

Early in the morning, Ergou, who was in charge of exploration in the village, came to report to the chief of security, Wang Dafa.

At this time, Wang Dafa was surrounded by dozens of ordinary people, these men, women, children, women, and children, they were all from the same village, and they heard that the thieves were coming last night, and they were so frightened that they had nowhere to hide, and finally followed the chief of security to take refuge here.

"These ......," someone cursed.

"Lord Lin is really like a god, thanks to Lord Lin, otherwise we would all have suffered."

"Yes, Lord Lin is a good official...... In these years, who cares about the life and death of the common people, the family of soldiers and bandits, even more so the Tartars, a good official like Lord Lin, it is difficult to find in the world, their camp is not far from us, Bao Chang, we should go and thank him. ”

"Yes, thank you, we'll go faster, and they'll kill the Tartars if they're late." ……

At this time, the common people said a word, Wang Dafa waved his hand and asked everyone to calm down. He decided to go and couldn't go all, he had to pick a few sharp legs as representatives.

Everyone is vying to sign up and follow Wang Baochang.

At this moment, someone shouted: "Save people, someone hanged ......"

"Who hanged themselves?"

"Old Zhang's daughter-in-law, sister-in-law Xiaohong, go and take a look......"

After Wang Baochang arrived with people, Xiaohong had already been lowered from the tree, and because of the timely discovery, Xiaohong was rescued again. It's just that his eyes are glazed, his hair is messy, his face is scratched, and his clothes are disheveled.

The honest old Zhang was crying beside him.

Wang Baochang pulled Lao Zhang to the side and said, "Lao Zhang, what are you crying about, what happened?"

Lao Zhang told the story again......

Lao Zhang has a son, his wife died early, married a daughter-in-law, and lived a tight life. My son also died a year ago.

The daughter-in-law Xiaohong is beautiful and very virtuous and filial, and the father and daughter depend on each other, and Lao Zhang treats her as a daughter.

Last night, when they heard that the thieves were coming, the father and daughter were also panicked, and put the things and clothes at home in order.

But they were finally left behind, and at this moment, a soldier came running in the darkness to help him, and the father and daughter were very grateful.

After settling in the forest, the soldier left, but unexpectedly, Xiaohong slept until the second half of the night and was drilled into the bed. Desperately resisting was to no avail, and the thieves ran away at dawn.

Xiaohong found a waist card next to it, engraved with the name and the number of the unit, and the name happened to be the soldier who helped them last night.

Xiaohong hanged herself without thinking about it for a while......

In the end, Lao Zhang cried and said to Wang Baochang: "It is said that Lord Lin is a good person, how can he have such soldiers under him?"

"Lao Zhang, don't be excited, hasn't the person been rescued, that's lucky, whether the thief is Lord Lin is a subordinate, it's not clear."

"How is it not clear? Could that waist card still be fake? ”

"Lao Zhang, the waist card can be lost and picked up, how can you slander Lord Lin with just a waist card, besides, even if it is really done by Lord Lin's men, Lord Lin doesn't know, and this matter is not to be blamed on Lord Lin. Lord Lin is the benefactor of our whole village, and we all have to be grateful to him, if he hadn't received the news in advance and sent someone to send a letter to help, we would all have suffered, and the consequences would have been unimaginable. ”

"Chief Bao, you're right to say that, it's not that I'm unreasonable. But Lord Lin actually knew that the thieves were coming to wash the village, so why didn't he bring a team to protect us and beat the thieves away? If so, do we still have this problem? ”

"Oh, Lao Zhang, it's a bit of a bad thing to say, Lord Lin has official business to kill the Tartars, passing by here, the team is still far away from our village, how can we change the itinerary because of our authorization? It is said that there are not many of them, and besides, are thieves easy to deal with? There are as many as cow hairs, everywhere, how many tens of thousands of troops of the imperial court have been encircled and suppressed for many years, to no avail, and Lord Lin has no power to return to God if he has the intention to kill the thief. ”

As soon as the chief said this, Lao Zhang had no words.

"Lao Zhang, don't mention this matter first, if the Tartars come, even more than the thieves, I will hide here for a few days, and when the adults lead the troops to kill the Tartars, they will definitely clean up the thieves, you quickly persuade Xiaohong, let her want to open some, don't do stupid things again." I took a few villagers to thank Lord Lin, but it was too late. ”

"Okay, I'll listen to you, chief ......," Lao Zhang wiped away a handful of tears and left.

Wang Baochang sighed and left the forest with more than a dozen representatives of his village......

Wang Jian and the others did not see the chief of the bodyguard, but they quickly found Lao Zhang and Xiaohong. After the hard persuasion of Lao Zhang and the villagers, Xiaohong's mood had stabilized at this time.

Wang Jian asked Gan Bao and Jiang Xingyuan and others to wait with Zhang Hua beside him, and he took He Tao and Erhu to see Lao Zhang and Xiaohong.

Wang Jian repeatedly apologized to the two, and said that after meeting Master Lin, he would definitely punish Zhang Hua severely and give them an explanation.

Then Wang Jian took He Tao, Erhu and others to escort Zhang Hua out of this forest......

Not long after Wang Jian and the others left, Lin Yi greeted a group of special guests, and Wang Baochang brought more than a dozen villagers with backpacks to thank their great benefactor in their hearts, Lord Lin.

Wang Dafa and them traveled for more than 20 miles, bringing some local products, and Lin Yi felt a wave of heat in his heart, enthusiastically asking them all to sit down.

Wang Baochang and the others felt that Lin Yi was not a bit official, approachable, and no longer polite, so the conversation box opened and they chatted with Lin Yi.

At this time, Wang Jian came back with Zhang Hua and others, Wang Jian didn't dare to hide what happened, Lin Yi heard this, and was furious.

"Baochang Wang, you came to thank Lin, Lin is grateful, but my subordinates did such evil last night, but the Baochang didn't say a word, who do you think I, Lin Yi?"

Wang Dafa saw that Lin Yi was angry, and hurriedly explained: "My lord, I am angry. Wang came this time, except for thanksgiving, last night's incident was purely accidental, adults must not mind. ”

Lin Yi's eyes flashed with a fierce color: "In this case, Lin will definitely not protect the calf, and he will work hard to invite Lao Zhang and Xiaohong's daughter-in-law, and I will severely punish this traitor in front of you!"
