"The fifth grandfather, mother, uncle, as well as the dart bureau, the martial arts hall, the flower gang, and the help of relatives and friends in the troupe, gathered so many people in a hurry, and we rushed here day and night, I thought we couldn't make it hard, and I didn't want to catch up."

"Are there any casualties?"

"A few minor injuries!"

"Let's go! Go and arrange for the brothers to eat and rest! ”

Looking at the attack of the official army on the rebel army, it is nearing the end. Of course, the yellow smoke on the battlefield has also subsided, and the flames have turned into flames, and the flames have jumped a few times, flashed a few times, and turned into sparks. Patches of ash were left in the wetlands, releasing the smell of charred corpses, scorched earth, and grass ash. There were still some reeds, grass, and branches left in the swamp, and in a few places there were smoke and fires, scattered like stars on a dark curtain.

Entering the county seat, the smell of fireworks just after the battle was still there.

At night, Gu Feng stood outside the camp tent, looking far away but not far, and the Hessian pavilions on all sides obscured the view. Although there are not only the stars in the sky, but the lights of the camps, these glimmers of light cannot drive away the boundless darkness in this city. The moon rises in a moment, large and dull, dark red and dark red. The night is getting darker, and the scenery in the city, which should have been prosperous, has become terrible after the war. Thinking of the fragility of human life in the war and the strength of this inorganic world, Gu Feng became more calm, and kept saying to himself, once it comes, it will be safe, and he must not live up to the identity of this ancient county order.

As the moon got higher and whiter, smaller and brighter, Gu Feng left the tent and climbed a tall building, and the light and shadow of the tall buildings and low tents in the city became clearer and clearer. Looking at it, Gu Feng found arc-shaped shadows, just like who drew irregular circles with a pencil on silver-blue paper. Gu Feng didn't know what it was for a while, but it was only after the reminder of the jade fox beside him that he figured out that it was the boundary of the wetland, swamp, and water area that they had retreated into during the day to avoid poisonous insects. The waters reflect the light of the sky, sometimes dark, sometimes bright, sometimes strong, sometimes soft. Yes! The moon is cold on the water, and the stars are hanging in the small city.

Tianming received an order from Zhizhou to bring his own soldiers back to the division.

The commander of this battle was Gu Feng, and the heroes were Gu Feng and Zhuang Zheng and their subordinate soldiers, but all the spoils of war went to Kochi Prefecture. Gao Cai reported the military situation to the imperial court, but he did not dare to exaggerate and act recklessly, and accordingly, in order to cover up the fact that he and the prefect did not invite the garrison, he deliberately narrowed down and made a lot of things light!

It was said that it was a riot of mountain people of several hundred people, but it was wiped out by the state and county regimental training battalions at a very fast speed.

Kochi Prefecture was promoted to the fifth rank and still served as the governor of Langzhou, and Gu Feng was promoted to the sixth rank and was still in the governor's office. However, through Gao Cai's application to the imperial court, the household department and the official department agreed to Gu Feng's suggestion after verification.

Langzhong County and Langhou County were merged into one, and the same was called Langzuo County, and the original Langqian County was changed to Langyou County. In this way, the area and population of Langzuo County were the largest counties in the country at that time, so the ancient style has since had the title of "the first county order of the Ming Dynasty". Of course, this is not the main thing, and there are many reasons why the ancient style is called the "first prefectural order". For example, he is "the champion of the oral message, and he has been the governor of the state of Liupin", for example, he judges cases like a god and governs well, and for example, he is not greedy or sells the law, and he also subsidizes silver taels to official positions, of course, the benefits are all obtained by the people in his jurisdiction and his subordinates.

"Your Excellency! The lower official has something unclear and wants to ask! Gu Feng asked when he saw Kochishu.

"Hehehe...... Brother, please speak! He still said this, but Gao Cai's face no longer had the sincerity and admiration of many years ago.

"The solemn Zhuang Zhixian was born and died together with the lower officials, exterminated the rebellious army, charged into battle, and took the lead, why didn't the court give him the slightest reward?"

"Hehehe...... Brother Tai doesn't know! Not to mention the court, even the Lord of Futai, if it weren't for the younger brother, I would have repeatedly exonerated him Zhuangzhi County, and I would have to treat him for the sin of mismanagement and raising tigers! What kind of reward is there to talk about? ”

"What? You guys...... Have you figured out whether it is good for that chaotic army to flee from the neighboring mansion? Entering the territory of Damiaoling County is only passing through, how can this be blamed on the head of Zhuangzhi County? ”

"Hehehe...... The rebel army besieged the county seat and auxiliary city of Damiaoling County, right? Was the battle fought in the territory of Damiaoling County? ”

"This ...... Where are they? Gu Feng was so angry that he couldn't speak for a while. Look at the other officials, one by one, they looked down and looked innocent, and they almost turned into clay statues with their palms together.

Gu Feng thought about it, he couldn't get credit for helping Brother Zhuang, don't hurt him again, just get some benefits for him, and ask for a few taels of silver to get through the difficulties.

"Lord Zhizhou! The lower officials have only one thing to ask for - Da Miao Ling County has gone through the war, the people are not living, this war, their regimental training battalion soldiers have been killed and wounded, the lower officials have the courage to ask for more silver taels to help the people, the military operations of the original Langhou County are paid silver, the lower officials implore that it be allocated to Da Miaoling County, and the rest of the affairs will be done by the lower officials themselves! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, not for anything else, but for Gu Feng to send silver. Gao Cai was displeased, but he still agreed to Gu Feng's request in his mouth, anyway, he still gave this silver, and didn't give it to you, you are happy, why should I lose your face!

When I got home, two letters arrived. One is solemn and the county, he is worried that the ancient style is still angry for the act of Gao Cai leading the army to kill, the letter said that those rebellious troops should really be killed, in the county town, the officers and soldiers have a soft heart not to kill women and children, but they were suddenly attacked and killed a lot, there are children who have just eaten the buns handed to him by the officers and soldiers, and in the blink of an eye they give their benefactors a knife, the killed officers and soldiers do not dare to admit that it is their kindness that took their lives. At this time, Zhuang Yan didn't know that Gu Feng was seeking justice for him from Gao Cai.

The second letter was written by Jiang Hua and Cheng Yi beside Gao Cai, and the letter was very short, only three sentences.

"Gao Cai has become a devil, it seems to be related to the Bat Army, and it is very contradictory whether to leave or stay with us."

Gu Feng took out a soft and smooth handkerchief from the envelope, "This seems familiar!" Gu Feng thought about unfolding the small handkerchief, this kind of unsquare, very delicate silk handkerchief must have been seen somewhere. This piece is embroidered with a black bat with wings and mouth open, terrifying, lifelike, and the embroiderer is definitely not owned by ordinary people. Oh - the ancient style remembered, in the palace of the king of Xiang, the prince used yellow, embroidered with a sea of clouds, and the lord of Jingjun used pink, embroidered with flowers and plants. This white embroidered is a bat, who used it? I have never seen a high-ranking talent use a handkerchief, especially the handkerchief in this palace.

Gu Feng was even more angry now, angry for a day and a night, not eating or drinking, staring blankly at the stars and the green mountains. The frightened ladies and maids were about to cry.

Or invite Mrs. Miao Xiang to take an idea, let Gu Feng take her children and daughters, and ask for leave to visit her parents-in-law in Songjiazhuang, Yongzhou, to persuade Gu Feng to wake up.

"Human nature is complex, and people's hearts are unpredictable, how can we not ponder people?"

Just as Gu Feng was about to embark on the road to visit his parents-in-law, a secret conversation was going on in the Zhizhou Yamen.
