Niu Gao's skills in foot combat are similar to Li Kui, but when it comes to horse warfare, it is much more powerful than Li Kui, Niu Gao's double gong is a family heirloom, although Wang Jin can't teach Niu Gao's skills after coming to Yuncheng to practice, but the martial arts are all the same, Wang Jin taught Niu Gao some basic horse fighting skills. Niu Gao also really worked hard, often everyone else slept, and he practiced quietly in the middle of the night. As soon as I had free time, I learned from Liu Tang and Hua Lei, and later Luan Tingyu came to Niu Gao and learned some skills from Luan Tingyu, so Niu Gao's martial arts were extraordinary.

Dong Ping and Niu Gao competed and competed, and the two guns were against the two guns. Dong Ping's marksmanship is very fast, a shot is as fast as a shot, telescopic like a rooster nodding generally, at the beginning Niu Gao is still more than enough to deal with, but after 20 rounds Niu Gao is a little unbearable, for no other reason, Niu Gao's weapon double mace is made of all copper, one weighs 20 catties, two is 40 catties, the weapon is heavy to pay attention to quick combat, once the long-lasting entanglement will suffer, the more Niu Gao fights, the more tired his arms are. Niu Gao's mind is lively, Brother Chao Gai and others are watching from behind, if I lose to Dong Ping, wouldn't it be a very embarrassing thing, immediately had an idea, Niu Gao deliberately sold a flaw after thirty rounds, Dong Ping's left pistol drove straight in, Niu Gao's left hand was parried from below, followed by the right hand and smashed it from above, the two guns clamped Dong Ping's gun one after another, after all, the spear was not as strong as the double mace, Niu Gao was strong, so smashed Dong Ping's gun was deformed.

People who practice martial arts regard weapons as their second life, Dong Ping saw that the weapon was damaged, and he jumped like thunder, a shot was as fast as a shot, and the gun stabbed at the vital point. Niu Gao turned the horse's head and left, shouting as he walked: "Oh, I'm Di Niang, Dong Ping is in a hurry, I won't fight with you." ”

Dong Ping was chasing, and he felt a dark cloud flying over quickly, Chao Gai rode the dark cloud and stepped on the snow with the golden dragon swallowing halberd to the front, hugged his fists and said: "Please also ask Dong Dujian to stop." ”

Dong Ping hatefully took the horse and said, "This black boy is cheating and damaging my weapon." ”

Chao Gai smiled indifferently: "This is a martial arts competition, he only damaged your weapon, and it can be said that he is cheating." If it's a real battlefield fight, the enemy doesn't care about you. ”

Dong Ping was speechless, where are the rules on the battlefield, a complete life-and-death struggle.

Dong Ping snorted coldly: "Count him lucky, next time I will hit him in the head." ”

Dong Ping didn't plan to fight with Chao Gai, so he turned his horse around and went back to lead the patrol.

Chao Gai and others naturally will not look for trouble to deliberately drink Dong Ping stalked, the horse team marched towards Lashan Lake, it is late autumn at this time, the autumn colors are beautiful, there are many tourists by Lashan Lake, Chao Gai said: "Luo Yun took the cavalry to rest in place, not to walk around, and the generals had to play and hunt nearby." ”

"Yes." Everyone received the order, Li Kui and Bao Xu Wu Song left together, and Bao Xu said as he walked: "Look at me today, I will dig yellow eels for the two of you, and promise to get a few big and long." ”

Zhou Tong was like an arrow, encouraging Niu Gao to shoot water birds and make a barbecue with him.

Sun An and Pang Wanchun played chess and watched horses in the lakeside pavilion. Chao Gai took Jiao Ting to walk by the lake. Looking at the residual lotus by the lake, Jiao Ting scratched his head and said: "I remember that my brother wrote a poem last year, what is it called, the lotus leaves are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers are different red. ”

Chao Gai said: "Yes, but some things are not going to happen, it is now late autumn weather, where are there lotus flowers, all of them have become residual lotuses." There is no rain cover for the lotus, and there are still proud frost branches in the chrysanthemum. A good year must be remembered, the most orange, yellow, orange and green. ”

At this time, someone next to him suddenly said: "The residual lotus is also a lotus, just wait for the next spring to send out new shoots and bloom beautiful lotus." ”

Chao Gai looked back and saw that a young handsome boy with an equally handsome scholar was none other than the daughter of the prefect of Dongping Mansion, Cheng Wan.

Chao Gai said: "How are you." ”

Cheng Wan shushed and said, "Don't say it." ”

Chao Gai looked around, there was no suspicious person, and said with a smile: "It's okay, most of the cavalry here are the cavalry I brought, how did you sneak out, I'm not afraid of going back and being scolded." ”

Cheng Wan said: "My father went to the field to handle the case, and I stayed at home and ran out when I was bored." ”

Chao Gai sighed: "You have to bring a few more guards when you come out, and it is very dangerous to bring a maid with you." ”

"I dressed as a man, and no one knew me. And you Chao group practice, what are you doing? Do you want to help my dad fight the bandits? Cheng Wan asked.

"In the past few days, I have opened a few new shops in Dongping, and I am worried that someone will make trouble, so I brought people over to cheer, and I will go back tomorrow, and today I will take everyone out to see the scenery."

Cheng Wan pointed to Niu Gao and Zhou Tong not far away: "Those two people are your subordinates, look at the chickens and dogs that scare the birds, and the scenery is ruined." ”

Chao Gai smiled: "Not everyone understands elegance, and the poor people still have a lot of shells to dig from the lake to eat, as for digging bird eggs and catching wild birds, it is also common for them to eat." You are a beautiful lady, where do you know the suffering of the people. ”

"Hmph, who said that, when my father was demoted, I grew vegetables and cooked every day in my hometown, and I would raise sheep." Cheng Wan said.

"That's not bad, understand the lives of ordinary people." Chao Gai said.

Cheng Wan said: "There is a stone bench over there, why don't you go over and rest." ”

Saying that, he took Chao Gai's arm and went over to sit there to rest and chat, Jiao Ting was dumbfounded, he couldn't follow too closely, but after all, he was Chao Gai's personal guard and couldn't be too far away, so he followed from a distance with Chao Gai's painting halberd.

Cheng Wan said: "What are you doing in Dongping, just to do business?" ”

Chao Gai shook his head: "Not all, I'm here to help your father, I want to do a good job in the livelihood of Dongping Mansion, so that the people can live a good life." ”

Cheng Wan's face was calm, and she said, "I thought you were here for me." ”

It turned out that this little girl had been deeply in love with Chao Gai since she rescued her last time and couldn't extricate herself, and Cheng Governor also knew about it, but Cheng Governor's impression of Chao Gai was average, thinking that Chao Gai was just a martial artist, so he didn't agree. Cheng Wan rarely had time to come out of the deep boudoir compound all day long, so the matter was put down, but I didn't expect that in the past few days, Cheng Governor rushed to Zhujiazhuang to check Zhujiazhuang, Cheng Wan took a girl dressed as a man to go out of the city to play, and ran into Chao Gai, seeing that Chao Gai was still so heroic, her heart was like a deer.

Chao Gai said: "There are too many things in the world, and there are many things I have to do. Look at the little girl by the lake, there must be an elderly or sick person in her family. ”

Cheng Wan saw a little girl of eleven or twelve by the lake, carrying a small basket, squatting down from time to time to grab a few river mussels from the thin mud, and the river mussels had already filled a small half basket.

Cheng Wan didn't believe it, so she walked over and asked, "Little sister, what are you doing?" ”

The little girl said, "I'm catching mussels." ”

"What's the use of catching mussels?"

"Raise ducks and lay more eggs so that they can be sold for money." The little girl said.

"You don't go to a private school at such a young age, how do you do these things?"

The little girl said gloomily: "My mother is sick and in poor health, and my father can't make much money doing long-term work." ”

Cheng Wan took out two taels of silver, handed it to the little girl, and said, "Take it, go see your mother." ”

The little girl shook her head, took no money, and turned away.

Chao Gai smiled next to him: "Ordinary children can't see silver when they are so old, they think that copper coins are money. Besides, you shouldn't be so gullible about her words, everything needs to be investigated before you can assert it. ”

Cheng Wan snorted: "As long as you are reasonable, no matter what you say, you are right." ”

Chao Gai and Cheng Wan walked along the lake and chatted, Cheng Wan was still very bold, and asked Chao Gai if he had married a wife, Chao Gai said no, Cheng Wan's face turned red.

Just when Chao Gai was playing, Zhujiazhuang's case was almost over, Cheng Zhifu personally went to investigate, selling fake seeds was a sure thing, and there was also a matter of Zhu Biao playing with the maid, Zhu Biao and Zhu Hu deliberately hurt others, that is, they injured the tenants when collecting rent. As soon as these things were investigated, the Zhu family was unlucky, and almost three million catties of Tianwang rice were confiscated as evidence of the crime, and another three hundred yuan were confiscated to compensate several victims. Governor Cheng still loves the people very much, and he is very light, and he did not confiscate the Zhu family's property, but Tianwang rice alone is a huge amount. Governor Cheng was very happy, and ordered the officials to put on a cart to escort the Tianwang rice back to Dongping Mansion, and was worried about how to subsidize grain for poor households this winter, but he didn't expect that food is available now.

The accompanying master said: "This Tianwang rice is really high-yielding, 3,000 mu is nearly 3 million catties, if Dongping Mansion promotes 200,000 mu next year, it is equivalent to twice the amount of land, and the grain is not an ordinary increase in production." ”

"Of course, otherwise the government wouldn't have gone to Yuncheng to ask for Chao Gai." Cheng Zhifu said.

As soon as he returned to the Yamen, Kong Mu handed over a complaint, accusing the Dongping Four Tigers of bullying the market and forcing Liang to become prostitutes. Cheng Zhifu frowned after reading it, and said, "Is there really such an unbearable bully under the rule of this official?" ”

Kong Mu didn't dare to speak out, and said: "This, the adult has only been in office for a year, and this is all a bully formed before." There are always some black sheep in the government who are in cahoots with them. ”

"The above situation is true, is there any false accusation and frame-up?" Governor Cheng asked.

Kong Mu said cautiously: "The bad things done by these four can write dozens of sheets, but the ordinary victims have endured it, and the adults only need to take them to the lobby for questioning, and the matter will be clear, won't it be clear?" ”

"Reasonable." Governor Cheng immediately ordered the mobilization of fifty officials to summon Tang Baihu, Yan Heihu and other Dongping Four Tigers. These four are doing a massage in the flower building of the hop tiger, and a few new fifteen or sixteen little girls are not good at their hands and feet, but they are better than fresh.

Yan Heihu accidentally touched the wound on his face, grinned in pain, and said, "This Drunken Immortal Building, you must not let them go, and one night it will be set on fire." ”

At this moment, the thugs downstairs hurriedly ran in and said, "Oh no, no, the official is here." ”
