In the second year of Guanghe, at the end of November, twenty miles outside Linjiang County, a group of more than ten people all took the short-legged mountain horses of Shu Land, coming from the southwest, and the first person was none other than Yang Hong, who was awarded a high position by Zhou Qun Language, and now has been appointed by Fuquan as the post of Governor of Ba County.

Supervising the post, but it is the proud position of the county officials, and Gong Cao is called the extreme position of the county, is the right-hand man of the Taishou, the county is divided into several cadres, and each department has a supervising post. His position is light and powerful, and he does everything to convey fatwas, supervise subordinate officials, inspect criminal prisons, and check illegal inspections.

When Fuquan was in Youzhou for Liucheng Ling, he was almost guilty because of the impartial law enforcement, righteous and selfless Su Buwei, and now this position is given to Yang Hong, which shows his trust, as for the original post supervisor of Ba County, but was replaced by Fuquan. After all, the situation in Linjiang County is complicated, when Fuquan inspected Ba County before, he felt the strangeness of Linjiang, but no one in the entourage at that time told him that Gan Ning was from the Linjiang clan, otherwise he would definitely have to take care of Linjiang.

Now that I think about it, no one dared to say anything about Gan Ning at that time, maybe it was because the Gan family knew that Fuquan deeply complained about the thieves in brocade clothes and injured the officials and officials, and bought the Peng officials from Ba County who were born in Ba County around Fuquan, and outsiders like Guan Yu and Huang Zhong could not be interested in Gan Ning, who is still a hairy boy, let alone know Gan Ning's family background.

Horses' hooves burst, watching the slightly dilapidated Linjiang County slowly enter the silhouette in front of him, and when he got closer, he saw a group of people wearing the robes of county officials, standing outside the city gate and looking into the distance, but they were a group of officials of the Linjiang County Bureau.

Because when Yang Hong came, Fuquan privately told the task, so that he knew that the trip was difficult, and after thinking about it, he decided to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger directly, so he notified the officials of the Linjiang County Bureau in advance, so he was not curious about the Linjiang County Bureau coming to greet him.

After a greeting introduction, Yang Hong smiled and followed these Linjiang County officials into the city, chatting with everyone on the way, and secretly knocking on the relationship between the Linjiang County Government Office and the local wealthy families. However, on the road, these people who greeted the ancestral hometown of this county continued to praise the Gan clan and other local tyrants in Linjiang, and at the same time kept their mouths shut about the thieves in Gan Ning, and their hearts were suddenly shocked.

Since there are county magistrates who come to inspect, and they are also the superintendents of the post with considerable powers, the Linjiang County Commander naturally did not dare to slack off, and had already set up a banquet in the official office, and led the county officials to pick up the wind for Yang Hong. Although Yang Hong doesn't like this kind of entertainment, but after all, it is the unspoken rule of officialdom, and it is not exempt from vulgarity, so he should do it, and the final result is obvious, Yang Hong, who was regarded as the main point of attack, was besieged by a group of officials of the Linjiang County Bureau.

In this way, for three days, the officials of the Linjiang County Bureau were curious that the postal inspectors who came to inspect did not seem to be like other postal inspectors, and they came to inspect the county, but they stayed in the official buildings of the county bureau and did not come out.

However, it is understandable for outsiders to believe this statement, but for him and the county officials, this is simply nonsense. Because outsiders don't know the situation in the official residence of the county office, how can they, the insiders of the official office, not know that the slaves and maids in the official house clearly saw the new superintendent Yang Hong walking in the official house, and even chatting with the slaves and maids, how could he be sick?

After several confirmations, everyone just thought that the newly appointed superintendent was just a person who was greedy for pleasure, not the kind of official who was loyal to his duties, they only thought that Taishou Fuquan easily listened to Yang Hong's reputation, and chose the wrong person without noticing, so that Yang Hong pretended to be unwell after being drunk and hid in the official residence.

However, on the fourth day, the three high-ranking officials in the county, the county commander, the county magistrate, and the county lieutenant, were rushed into the county office by Yang Hong for questioning, and showed on the spot some confessions that the county lieutenant was disloyal to his duties, did not devote himself to arresting thieves, and might even accept bribes from the county's brocade thieves, and took them out to confront the county lieutenant at the beginning.

In the end, his own soldiers took down the county lieutenant and prepared to report to the county office and the imperial court, but he took bribes and allowed the thieves in the county to run rampant and not be loyal to the governance. Because this county lieutenant was a local magistrate appointed by the imperial court, Yang Hong could not immediately punish the crime, so he could only be imprisoned in the county prison and waited for the order of the county office and the imperial court before being dealt with.

The county lieutenant who was in charge of public security and the arrest of thieves was directly imprisoned in front of the county magistrate and the county magistrate, and the two county magistrates suddenly felt uneasy, and then they realized that Yang Hong was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and deliberately dragged him in the county office to lower their psychological precautions, but let his henchmen go out to collect evidence from the county lieutenant. In the end, he was suddenly summoned, arrested the county lieutenant in front of two people, and hit the snake seven inches, which hit the vital point of the county lieutenant at once, which is really not to be underestimated.

Of course, a county lieutenant who sees each other every day is imprisoned in front of the two, in addition to making them feel a little more sad, they are only left with worries, and they know their own affairs. If the county lieutenant in charge of law and order and arresting thieves is the main person who directly connived at the thieves in brocade clothes and accepted bribes, then the first and second leaders in the two county offices are also not clean. After all, let the brocade thieves run rampant in Linjiang, without the consent of the two of them, just a county lieutenant, obviously not able to reach the sky with one hand like this, and the county lieutenant's head is pressed by the county order, the county order does not nod, and the county lieutenant cannot indulge the brocade thieves so easily.

After Yang Hong severely criticized Linghe County Cheng of Linjiang County, he solemnly warned the two that within ten days, the Jinyi thief gang would be arrested, otherwise neither of them would have good fruits to eat. Of course, Yang Hong didn't mention the relationship between Gan Ning and the Gan family in his words, as if he didn't know at all, and it seemed that the brocade-clothed thief was a thief privately raised by the county lieutenant, and only asked Linjiang County to dispatch county soldiers to catch the thief.

The county commander and the county Cheng sent Yang Hong and the others away with all their hearts, glanced at each other, and then sent someone to invite the patriarch of the Gan clan in the city, this matter must be handled by the Gan family today, after all, it was the rebel son of his family who caused it. In any case, even if the two of them accepted bribes from the Gan family and let them open the net to Gan Ning's brocade thieves, they must not lose their official positions because of this, otherwise they will mobilize all the people in the county to chase and beat the brocade thieves before they lose their officials.

Not to mention how the head of the Nagan family later went to the county office, the next morning, in a mountain forest outside Linjiang City, the mist was filled, and in the hazy fog, there seemed to be a burst of bells, which was endless in the forest.

In a moment, the sound of bells suddenly disappeared in the forest, and everything seemed to be silent, and the insects and birds were silent. The dew-stained trees were wet and looked a little depressed, and suddenly, a ray of golden light shone from the sky, and the milky white mist disappeared in an instant, and the sun rose.

The morning sun sprinkled on the ground through the branches and leaves, and the breeze blew, forming a little spot of light, a golden color. The silent mountains and forests began to stir, and the crisp chirping of insects and birds, the cries of unknown beasts, and the gentle sound of the wind played the most moving song of nature.

A majestic wild deer emerged from the bushes, stopped at a puddle, and drank gracefully with its neck stretched. It was a beautiful morning for the deer, and perhaps it could have a happy day today.

But beauty will always be trampled on, and suddenly, there was a noise in the woods, and only a dull moo of the wild deer was heard, and then it fell to the ground with a few hooves, and then fell to the ground and could not move again. When I looked closer, there was a sharp feather arrow between the chest and abdomen, shooting its body through it, and it was really an arrow that killed me.

After the wild deer fell to the ground, on the slope not far away, stood up a figure in brocade clothes, but he looked like a young man with horns, if Fuquan was here, he would definitely know this young man, because he was the Gan Ning who passed by him that day and deceived him with the pseudonym "Ning Gan". At this time, Gan Ning held a bow in his left hand and a quiver behind his back, and quickly ran towards the wild deer, which may be his best harvest today.

Behind Gan Ning, more than ten people followed him and ran to the wild deer, these people were the same as Gan Ning, all dressed in brocade clothes and with fierce faces. One of them was the man who was arrested by the government for robbing traders in Jiangzhou at that time, and was seriously injured after resisting.

"Qu Shuai shoots superbly, and kills with one arrow!"

"I can't wait!"

"Even the likes of Huang Hansheng and Gai Wenyuan under the command of the 'Dragon' are not as good as Qu Shuai's archery skills!"

……

These brocade-clothed thieves under Gan Ning saw that their own Qu Shuai had taken the life of the wild deer with one arrow at this moment, and they all slapped their own Qu Shuai's ass desperately, and even used Huang Zhong and Gai Yuan's archery skills to make a comparison.

"Huang and Gai are both superb, don't do this again." Gan Ning shouted, but there was still a smile on his face. He knew in his heart that he was just hunting, and if he really wanted to compare with Huang Zhong and Gai Yuan, it was too bad, after all, people were sharpened in the battlefield, and the things he did were just petty fights.

"No!" Everyone got the words and said in unison, but Gan Ning was just a warning, and looking at the smile on his face that was praised, they understood that the future touting and patting of sycophants would continue, obviously Gan Ning was very popular with these sycophants now.

After the deer hunting, Gan Ning saw that the deer he hunted was not small, so he ordered someone to take away the wild deer, intending to end the hunt this morning, and prepare to bring it back to Linjiang County for his parents to enjoy. He often did not return home for several days, and although his parents did not blame him, he still had to prepare to write and amuse them.

After a while, he saw a man under Gan Ning's command walk to the wild deer, and then took out a firewood knife from his waist, cut off a few vines with a few strokes, and picked a small tree with the thickness of his arm and cut it down together, cut it into a wooden stick, tied the wild deer with vines, and then strung it up from both ends of the wild deer with a wooden stick. After Gan Ning left, he resisted one end of the wooden stick on the wild deer, and then another person resisted the other end and followed Gan Ning into the city.

Soon, the sound of the bell, which had almost disappeared, rang in everyone's ears again after everyone no longer needed to control the sound.

Today is the day when Gan Ning returns home from abroad, since he led his gang of brocade thieves, Gan Ning has not been home for more time than before, he often does not return home for several days in a row, with the group of rangers and evil boys he raised, wandering around Jing and Yierzhou. Even if the government sends troops to chase and suppress, they are not afraid. As far as he is concerned, if he can't beat it, he will leave by boat with the people over there, and the navy of Ba County will be powerless, and once they reach the river, this sleep will be their world.

Walking into the outside of Linjiang County, which he had been familiar with since childhood, Gan Ning and a group of people saw from a distance that countless soldiers who wanted to enter the city to defend the city were taken down, and those soldiers seemed to be investigating their identities.

This group of brocade thieves are all people with criminal records in the government, and the portraits are hung next to the city gate. Today, the search in Linjiang City was strict, and they didn't see the familiar people who brought them into the city, so they immediately turned around and left.

Things don't seem right, this is Gan Ning's first feeling, but he doesn't know the situation in the city and can't make a conclusion, so he ordered everyone to go all the way to the Gan family manor outside the city, where his people take care of it, it is relatively safe, and you can inquire about the things in the city.

When he arrived at the manor, he soon had his own brothers of the same clan receive him, and after a salute, Gan Ning learned from the clan brother that the abnormality of Linjiang City in the past two days, the superintendent sent by the county bureau subdued the county lieutenant by thunderous means, and asked the county order and the county Cheng to take down the brocade thieves rampant in the county within a time limit.

Hearing this news, Gan Ning's face was extremely unnatural, he knew that his brocade thieves could have the scale they have today, and it had a lot to do with the connivance of Linjiang County, coupled with the eyes and ears of the Gan family in the county office, it would definitely not be easy for the county and the county to deal with him. Now, this new superintendent is going to cut off the connection with his county, how can he bear it?

"I went to the county from my father, but what is the attitude of the official office? Can this matter be instructed by the county office? Gan Ning quickly grasped the point of this matter, and hurriedly asked his brother.

"The county bureau doesn't seem to have the idea of begging the thief, this matter is all insisted on by the superintendent, it should be that he has not been in office for a long time, and he is eager to make meritorious contributions, so he wants to do something to the brocade man under the command of Brother Ning."

"Yes, thank you, brother."

"My own family, why do you need to be polite."

After questioning, Gan Ning said goodbye to his brother, and then walked into another room and informed his subordinates of the news he had received from the county office. However, the brocade thieves under his command obviously did not have Gan Ning's mind, and after hearing that the county office was going to deal with them, they hurriedly wanted to escape from Linjiang and take refuge by boat, shouting and shouting, which made Gan Ning very annoyed.

"Shut up! Before the news from the county office was known, how could you be so panicked? In the end, Gan Ning couldn't bear it anymore and shouted at everyone under his command.
