What's more, General He Xiao brought hundreds of cavalry, Zheng Shizi dared to resist, not to mention the injury of several soldiers, and dragged General He down the lake, almost killing the little general. Isn't that enough? ”

Zheng Sheng sneered: "If you suspect that I am treasoning, just send troops to exterminate me, a thief and thief!" Is it difficult to bring no soldiers in Jingzhou, and it is necessary to borrow troops from Yuzhou? Now to refute your other point: at that time, we were unarmed and facing the charge of hundreds of elite cavalry armed to the teeth! If we don't resist, what will happen to those of us? ”

Shi Jin smiled coldly: "The little general has his own measure, and he won't do anything to you." ”

"No, we'll be struck by horses, run over to death, hacked to death by swords. What's more, at that time, I didn't think it was an army, and at that time, you didn't even have the slightest intention of communicating with us, so you rushed straight to kill. ”

He Yan said angrily: "I have given an order, as long as you do not resist, my soldiers will not harm you." But you only want to run away. I, of course, can only give the order to pursue. ”

"Hehe, hundreds of cavalry are rushing towards us, and whoever faces this situation will have the desire to survive and will desperately flee. All I did was flee to the other side of the river, tear down the wooden bridge, and block you. Then he raced with his feet and horses, desperately demolishing the second bridge. In the process, we did drag a few soldiers down the river, but we also rescued them and didn't let them drown. Later, General He chased and arrested us in the paddy fields, and accidentally fell into the lake. Can I be blamed for this? Do I have to be caught obediently and slaughtered? ”

He Yan stood up very unhappily.

Sima Xin opened his eyes: "Okay, I understand what you mean." Now, can you listen to me? In my opinion, this is a misunderstanding, so you should all disperse. He Yan returned to Xuchang and Mr. Shi returned to Jiangling. Zheng Sheng still stayed in Wanquan Town, and there was no need to go to Jiangling. ”

"As a royal clan, you shouldn't shield Zheng Sheng like this!" Shi Jin said coldly.

Sima Xin looked at him indifferently: "Then I ordered Zheng Sheng to disband his guards, how about it?" ”

The crowd looked at him in amazement.

Sima Xin continued: "Get rid of that Tiger Guard Camp, and those teenagers will go home separately. Whether it is studying, plowing the fields, or practicing martial arts and business, Zheng Sheng must not interfere. And the Zheng family's guards, how many people are there? Is it five hundred? It's a lot, so cut it off sixty percent and keep only two hundred. The rest also returned home, and the Zheng family was not allowed to interfere with what they were engaged in. What does Mr. Shi think? ”

Shi Jinhan was silent for a long time: "The county magistrate is really fair, and I believe that Lord Thorn Shi will also agree with the county magistrate's approach." ”

"However, I have also heard some rumors about why the Zheng Clan's guards are being expanded so much. In the past few years, it seems that thieves have been rampant in Jingzhou, specializing in robbing passing merchants? The merchant suffered. Therefore, not only the Zheng family, but also many families in Jingzhou have recruited rangers to protect the industry. Is there such a thing? ”

Shi Jinhan said in a low voice: "This matter is actually exaggerated. It's just some petty thieves who have stolen a few traders' goods. You should also know that businessmen are treacherous and very good at profiting for themselves. Their ability to tell the story of right and wrong is also very good. You should investigate more carefully, and don't be deceived by traitors! ”

Sima Xin covered his forehead, and his tone suddenly became stern: "So, at the end of December of the third year of Yuankang, what happened to the murder of Sun Jiayi?" Eight lives! Shi Chong has been checking for more than half a year! Haven't found out yet? ”

"Sun Jiayi's murder? Isn't that case closed? It was indeed the work of the yellow silk thief. And the yellow silk thief was defeated by Zheng Shizi a month ago, and most of them died. Later, Lord Thorn Shi cleared it again, and it was completely annihilated. Shi Lao chuckled.

Sima Xin smiled and said: "Okay, then you go back and tell Shi Chong: This Jingzhou, if he can cure it, he will cure it, and if he can't cure it, return to Bohai Sea quickly!" If I hear it again, there are thieves and thieves in Jingzhou, and I will definitely drive him away from this position of assassination! ”

Shi Jinhan stood up and saluted, "I will tell Lord Shi what you said." After speaking, without waiting for Sima Xin's words, he turned around and left.

He Yan arched his hand at Sima Xin and said, "County Lord, the last general should also leave." ”

Sima Xin nodded slightly: "You can go by yourself." Tell He Shao that there is no next time. ”

"Yes." He Yan made a big salute, got up and glanced at Zheng Sheng, and turned to leave.

Sima Xin looked at Zheng Sheng: "Do you agree with my approach?" ”

Zheng Sheng sat down and said secretly in his heart, I don't agree that it is useful? Can it change the established reality?

"Agreed."

"Even if you disbanded your Tiger Guard Battalion?"

Zheng Sheng picked up the teacup and thought for a while: "If you lose the east, you will reap the mulberry." The Tiger Guard Battalion was disbanded, at least it would not be framed as a rebel again. Therefore, I still have to thank the county magistrate for helping me out of the siege. ”

"Don't thank me, I wouldn't have known about this if your little maid hadn't come to me. What's more, I'm just mediating in the middle and not taking sides with you. Sima Xin raised his hand and said.

"Did Sniff go to Ju Valley?" Zheng Sheng was a little surprised.

Sima Xin smiled: "Yes." If I don't agree to her, she will probably go to Shunyang to find Brother Wang. ”

Zheng Sheng nodded: "Then the county lord, I'll go back." I'm afraid I still have a lot to do these days. ”

Sima Xin gestured and calmly watched him leave.

Zheng Sheng left the teahouse, looked at the lively street, and muttered, "What a headache!" ”

What to do? Do you really want to disband the Tiger Guard Battalion as Sima Xin said? But if he violates the yang and the yin, after being discovered by Sima Xin, the relationship between the two may fall to the bottom, and he should weigh it carefully.

At this time, Wu Yunlu suddenly appeared beside him, "Boy, how is it?" ”

Zheng Sheng smiled and said, "I'm fine." ”

Wu Yunlu looked at him with a frowning look, "Xinye Gong has relieved you of the siege." What, are you still in trouble? ”

Zheng Sheng nodded and said softly, "Let's go back and talk about it." ”

When he returned home, Zheng Sheng saw the people who had returned.

Zheng Sheng and Qiu Fuzi entered the secret room first and told Sima Xin's request.

Master Qiu was silent for a long time: "Sima Xin is a little suspicious of your purpose. However, your response should satisfy him. But if you complain or hesitate at that time, Sima Xin will definitely be unfavorable to you. ”

Zheng Sheng nodded, he naturally knew Sima Xin's character very well.

Qiu Fuzi said, "Then do what Sima Xin said." Anyway, the world is peaceful, and you will only get yourself into trouble if you raise so many private soldiers! ”

Zheng Sheng was a little uncomfortable, and after a long time, he said quietly: "If this world is really going to fall into war in a few years." If we have no ability to defend ourselves, we will have no choice but to flee our homes in a hurry. Master, will you regret your decision today? ”

Qiu Fuzi said in a deep voice: "No. Because if you don't make this decision today, you won't live that time! There is always a way to solve the troubles of the future. ”

Zheng Sheng nodded silently: "Master, I understand." ”

"Then let's discuss how to talk about it!"
