When Jiang Min heard that the two armies had hardly fought each other, and had won a complete victory with only a small number of casualties, the shock in his heart far exceeded the surprise on his face.

Huo Xing, the horse thief, had sent people to clear it many times, and at most sent 700 horse infantry at a time, but it was just a tie with Huo Xing's more than 300 cavalry.

"Lord, this big victory is half a fluke, if it weren't for the horse thief's defenselessness, he wouldn't be able to succeed easily. In addition, there is also the help of Song Jie, Tang Zhao, Fang De and others, and please see the lord. ”

"Okay, okay...... Okay, it's good to win. ”

Jiang Min pressed his hands on the table, not yet recovering from the great victory.

"Father, the horse thief is in the law, it is really a very happy thing, and my father should seriously injure Mr. Wei."

Jiang Rong said, secretly glancing at Bai Liyan out of the corner of her eye. Bai Liyan pretended to be frightened and saluted again:

"I don't dare to do it, this time it all depends on the concerted efforts of the royal guests to have this big victory. The lord wants to reward, and the most important thing is to reward the royal guest. ”

"No, no, no, this battle is all Mr. Wei's plan, and we are only making a little effort, far less than Mr. Wei's strategizing to win a thousand miles."

Song Jie excused himself, and Jiang Min laughed:

"Hehaha...... The rewards are all deserved. Since there are a lot of financial seizures this time, I can look at it alone, and I can let Mr. Wei dispose of it. As for the war horses, leave two hundred for the government, and the rest of the donkeys and horses will also be disposed of by Mr. Wei. ”

"Wei Xian thanked the lord."

"Hahaha, okay, it's not early. You and Song Jie will go to the East Chamber to rest first, and then the horse thief will arrive the day after tomorrow, and then we will discuss this matter in the long run. In addition, you have to be careful as a city transfer envoy, and you have high hopes for you. ”

"Wei Xian will definitely live up to the high expectations of the lord."

After another salute, Bailiyan and Song Jie slowly withdrew, and were taken by their subordinates to the East Chamber for placement. After the two left, Jiang Min sighed, gasped and said:

"Zhao Xun really didn't say anything wrong, this son is really good, I hope it's not too late to make amends."

"Father, Wei Xian has the talent to govern the world, and he is familiar with the art of war, and he is really the pillar of his father and eldest brother's great achievement." Jiang Rong's chest was pounding, her face was ruddy and red, and she just thought that she was just saying a few words for Wei Xian.

At this time, Jiang Min said:

"I have my own opinion on this matter, you go to the inner mansion to inform you, and prepare five large gold collars tomorrow, and a horse of various colors of brocade will be rewarded to Wei Xian."

"No, my daughter will be prepared."

The gold collar represents the master's reward to his subordinates, but all the bounty is a great gift, far heavier than the meaning of gold itself.

After instructing Jiang Rong, Jiang Min left the study and went to the backyard, left the mansion in a carriage, and came to the Qin Han Mansion in the east of the city late at night. Qin Han had already lay down at this time, but he was not asleep, but waited for Jiang Min to come to him.

The news of the destruction of the horse thieves reached the Qin Mansion as soon as possible through the inner line, and after learning that Niu Gui and Wu Shan hadn't even finished a round, they were placed under Wei Xian's hands, but more than 400 people were captured alive, even though he was mentally prepared, Qin Han still gasped.

Huo Xing is a horse thief raised by him, and he knows the combat power of horse thieves very well, although most of them are not equipped with armor, but the war horses are all first-class good horses, and the horses under his command are all veterans who have experienced a hundred battles.

To say that the royal guest is strong, the horse thief is not weaker than half a point, in the face of the advantage of several times the number of people, Wei Xian can still win a big victory, almost all of them are captured, Qin Han can't believe that it is a human or a god, or rather, Wei Xian really has any spells that can't be done.

After a while, the maidservant called outside the dormitory, Qin Han closed his nightgown and came to the courtyard, Jiang Min's face was faintly filled with joy, but in Qin Han's opinion, this was Jiang Min showing off to him.

"It's so late, I don't know why Jiang Gongsu has to go to Qin's mansion in person."

"Don't hide it from Brother Qin, Wei Xian won a big victory a few days ago, and wiped out more than 400 horse thieves such as Huo Xing, and now he is already on his way to Guangxin."

Qin Han was unhappy at the moment, but he still remained silent:

"Yes, I should really congratulate Gong Jiang and harvest a good general, but I don't know how Brother Jiang will deal with these horse thieves."

"After the interrogation is postponed, all the bandit leaders will be beheaded for public display, and the rest of the horse thieves will be abolished as slaves to set an example."

"Well, I think it's time to punish it severely. However, Qin had a reluctant request, and hoped that Jiang Gong would be accommodating. ”

"Brother Qin, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

"Qin's workshop and fleet are short of manpower, and the newly recruited people still need to pay rice and grain for work, so it is better to hand over such a horse thief to Qin to drive the work."

"It's okay to do this, wait for the bandit leader to ambush the law, and these horse thieves will be at the disposal of Brother Qin." Jiang Min happily responded to this matter without delving into the reasons behind it.

The next day, the good news of the destruction of the horse thieves who had been rampant in Guangxin, Dingyang, and Lincheng for eight years spread throughout the city, and early in the morning Guo Peng heard the news that Wei Xian had wiped out the horse thieves, and was surprised that none of them were planted in the well.

"Monster, he must be a monster. The horse thief must have been imprisoned with demon magic, otherwise how could he capture more than 400 people alive with more than 140 lives, it must be that the horse thief has fixed the god for the demon doctor. ”

Zhang said gibberishly, almost unable to believe his ears.

Guo Peng's face was calm, and his back was cold at this time. He really hoped that Huo Xing's vote was confused by Wei Xian's use of witchcraft, but the royal guest would not lie, even if Zhang was ignorant, Guo Peng would not be stupid enough to believe that the imperial guest would lie.

After calming down for a moment, Guo Peng said in a deep voice:

"Your father once said that this person's words were in vain, but now it seems that your father Ding Yang Hou looked away from what happened back then."

Zhang He didn't care about anything Sven, so he tore off his shirt and Guo Peng was anxious:

"Brother Guo, how can you talk like that."

Guo Peng said coldly with disdain:

"Okay, it's useless to talk about what happened back then. The top priority is that the horse thieves have been caught in a net, and it will be even more difficult to find trouble with Wei Xian in the future, what do you say. ”

"Hard doesn't work, soft comes in. How Huo Xing died, you don't know. ”

"What do I know!"

Guo Peng's face was suddenly unhappy, and Zhang He probably thought that Huo Xing was poisoned by him, and the implication was that he could also assassinate Wei Xian with poison.

At this time, the eunuch Zhang Xing came from the backyard to deliver the meal with a food box:

"Two sons, it's time for breakfast."

Guo Peng said:

"You know everything?"

"I just heard about it, but Huo Xing is dead, and most of this matter will end here. It's just that we wonder who did it. ”

"yes, who can do it?"

Guo Penghu was talking to himself suspiciously, thinking about the intriguing behind it, and then Zhang Xing said:

However, it is really rare for Wei Xian to be outnumbered. Huo Xingyi is not a good horse thief, they are all ruthless characters, this time they were planted in the hands of Wei Xian, a stinky child, I really didn't expect it. ”

At this time, Zhang He drank the hot porridge boiled by seafood and rice, and did not forget to say two sentences:

"So what, he must have used sorcery."

"Say less, can I suffocate you!" Guo Peng scolded, glared at Zhang He viciously, Zhang He's neck shrank, swallowed his saliva and didn't speak.

Huo Xing's biggest loss from beginning to end is Guo Peng, in order to support Huo Xing over the years, he has not spent less money, and what is even more odious is that Wei Xian not only did not lose, but instead ate Huo Xing's gang inside and out, and made a lot of money.

The news of the horse thieves being caught has caused a lot of sensation in Guangxin, especially those business travelers who run business, who have been victimized by horse thieves for many years and have suffered from it. Now the horse thieves entrenched in Guangxin, Dingyang, and Lincheng have been destroyed, and the sharp sword hanging over the head of the caravan has disappeared since then.

On the evening of the third day, Fang De, Tang Zhao, Sikong Nan and others escorted more than 400 horse thieves to Guangxin and handed them over to the Taishou Mansion for trial.

Gong Jiang Minte chartered the drunken fragrance house, and invited all the royal guests and meritorious ministers who participated in the suppression of thieves this time, Chen Yunfeng, Wang Jiu, Taishou, Chengfu Sima and others attended the banquet and drank together.

Not long after the sky darkened, the hustle and bustle of the east of the city was full of people, Xiao Chunyu and the maidservant Tang Tao walked in the night market, a few servants on the left and right followed, and there were a few people in secret.

"Miss, have you heard, Wei Gongzi, who saved Miss at the beginning, exterminated the ferocious horse thief." Tang Tao took Xiao Chunyu's arm and jumped up and down as he spoke.

"Yes, how do you know it's that Wei Gongzi." Xiao Chunyu blushed and looked left and right, trying not to recall the situation of the day.

Jiang Rong had secretly said this, but Xiao Chunyu didn't want to think of that face, as long as she thought of that face, her chest was pounding violently, like a rabbit jumping around.

At this time, Tang Tao said:

"How can there be such a coincidence in the world, they are also Wei Gongzi, how can it be two people, it must be the same person."

"Look at you, people are not big, but they are worried about others, isn't it that they are thinking about eloping with others."

"Not really."

Tang Tao's cheeks were red, but he buried his head but twisted for a long time.

The next day, a fast horse rushed out of the south of the city, went straight to the capital of the tomb, three days later the news of the extermination of the horse thieves first reached Zhao Xun's mansion, Bailiyan Jiang Min sent the news half a day in advance, and entered the city in the evening.

"My lord, I have a guest asking to see you."

Zhu Xia hurriedly came to the backyard to get the news, and Zhao Xun suddenly felt strange, he had almost no contact with the royal guest.

"Yuke? You know. ”

"Mr. Wei sent the letter, saying that he could only say it if he met the adult in person."

"Bring him here."

"No."

When he was young, Ma Sen came to the backyard and saw Zhao Xun and asked:

"Your Excellency is General Zhao Xun Zhao?"

"It's down there. Dare to ask Your Excellency's honorable name, what happened to Mr. Wei. ”

"I also ask General Zhao to show his waist card so that the letter does not fall into the hands of outsiders."

Zhao Xun took out the waist card and handed it to Ma Sen for inspection, and after confirming the waist card, he immediately returned it to Zhao Xun, and gave a salute:

"Yuke Ma Sen has seen General Zhao."

"Well, what about the letter?"

Ma Sen handed the letter to Zhao Xun, and roughly talked about the suppression of bandits since January, and the letter was written in more detail, and the oral description could increase the fullness of the incident, so that Zhao Xun could clearly grasp the ins and outs of the whole matter.

Reading the letter, Zhao Xun said:

"Your Excellency will rest for the time being, and when you return to Guangxin tomorrow, you will say that please rest assured that Mr. Wei will take care of the things explained in the letter."

"Okay, there will be General Lao Zhao."

Ma Sen saluted, and Zhu Xia then led him into the east wing.
