Hawking came back angrily, the whip in his hand was still bloody, his face was as black as the bottom of the pot, he stepped into the door and turned around and shouted outside: "Beat the master hard, hang on the pillar after the beating, no one is allowed to go next, their leader doesn't make it clear, let that guy hang on it and become jerky!" ”

There was a wail outside the door, and there was more than one person, and the crackling whip was whipped on the body, making the guys howl very loudly. Su Ren sat in the courtyard www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion, this is Zhang Qian's notes he brought from Chang'an, he read some on the way here, and he didn't have time to read it as soon as he walked into the Western Regions.

In response to Hawking's roar, Su Ren shook his head with a smile, ignored it, and continued to read his book. Hawking sat opposite Su Ren with a butt, grabbed Su Ren's teapot, and drank the tea in one breath: "Big brother, you should also talk to that fan bone, the Qiang people in the city have been making trouble recently, and there are more and more, the Qiang and the Western Regions, the Qiang and the Huns, and even the Qiang themselves will fight, I don't know how many times, and catch three more nonsense!" ”

Su Ren put down the book and asked, "What did they do this time?" ”

"What else can I do? Stop those craftsmen from the Western Regions who are leaving work and ask for money, and if they don't give it, they will be beaten to death, if I don't happen to pass by, it is estimated that those two craftsmen from the Western Regions will be killed by them! ”

"Oh, are those two people from the Western Regions alright?"

Hawking shook his head: "It's nothing else, but these Qiang people are too hateful!" They don't work, they always want to rob others, and I don't know how many people have been robbed by them and dare not say it! For such a guy, it should be killed, and it will be a scourge to keep it after all! ”

"Have they ever done anything to us Han Chinese?"

Hawking's eyebrows rose: "They dare!" We have taken them in, and if they don't know what to do, I will lead people to destroy their whole people!" ”

Su Ren picked up the book again with a smile and slowly flipped through it in an orderly manner. The last time Zhang Qian went to the Western Regions was at least five or six years ago, and the Western Regions at that time seemed to be even more chaotic than now. Su Ren compared it with the current situation while looking at it, looking between the lines to find something that was beneficial to him. In fact, Zhang Qian had already arrived at the Dayue clan last time, but the king of the Dayue clan was unwilling to get involved between the Han and the Xiongnu again, so he politely rejected Zhang Qian. This time, there was a big problem within the Xiongnu, and maybe the Da Yue clan would agree to attack the Xiongnu with the Han Dynasty.

Hawking drank enough water and went out with a whip again, and soon the screams outside the door were a little louder. The bull came in and reported to Su Ren that Zaji, the leader of the Earth Horse tribe, was outside the door with a few hundred people, and they wanted to see Su Ren. Su Ren shook his head slightly, but the brute bull didn't continue to ask, turned around and went out.

Hawking's most singular method of dealing with prisoners was to tie them to a stake outside the city lord's mansion and whip them. The goal is to let everyone know that it's a simple solution, but it works. In Huiji, Suzhou, and Mayi, Hawking has done this before, which really makes those young people afraid, or far away, or dare not do anything wrong. However, this time it doesn't seem to work very well.

The guys who were tied to the stakes saw Zaji coming and immediately shouted for help. Zaji gritted his teeth and panted, and was about to give the order to rob someone, but was grabbed by the raised arm by a person behind him. Zaji turned his head to see that the person who came was Fan Bone, and then asked, "Zampu, this ......"

Fan Bone shook his head slightly at Zaji, walked up to Hawking with a smile on his face, and said, "Can General Huo wait a while, after seeing General Su next, how about these people at the disposal of General Huo?" ”

Hawking withdrew his whip and glared at him: "I want to see you, this general's handling of prisoners has nothing to do with you seeing my eldest brother!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Shisan came out of the door and said to Hawking: "Mr. asked General Huo to stop first, the leader of the fan bones please, Mr. let you in!" ”

Hawking angrily threw the whip in his hand and left angrily. Fan Gu smiled, gave Zaji a slightly calm expression, and then saluted Huang Shisan, and followed Huang Shisan into the City Lord's Mansion.

Su Ren was still sitting under the tree in the courtyard, and the teapot was filled with water. Seeing Fan Gu coming in, Su Ren put down the book in his hand, got up to greet him, and personally poured a glass of water for Fan Bone. Without waiting for the fan bone to speak, Su Ren said first: "Oops! Xiao Jinzi, this guy is messing around, and the leader of the fan bone who is harming has a special trip, Lao Huang, go and let people go! ”

Fan Gu hurriedly got up and saluted: "General Xie Su, the general is really discerning, this matter was provoked by those people from the Western Regions, and the general also knows that the people of the Western Regions have killed so many of our clansmen in the cold wind mouth, since they are all in this Jade Gate City now, everyone is a family, and those of my clansmen just want to live in peace, who expected those people from the Western Regions to become even more serious, which caused so many incidents, but General Huo ......"

Su Ren nodded with a smile: "What the fan bone leader said is reasonable, I will also talk about Xiao Jinzi, let him not come nonsense, rest assured, such a thing will not happen again!" ”

"Then thank you General Su!"

The two gossiped for a while, and then got up to say goodbye. Su Ren personally sent it to the door, his posture was very low, and he looked a little low. As soon as the fan bone left, Hawking didn't know where it came out again, and looked at Su Ren for a long time just panting.

Su Ren kept watching Fan Gu and Zaji turn onto the main road with a few people, and then turned around and entered the house: "If you have something to say, who will you demonstrate like this?" ”

"Humph!" Hawking snorted: "Why did you release those Qiang people? I saw them rob those craftsmen from the Western Regions with my own eyes, big brother, if you do this, it will chill others, who will dare to come to our Yumen in the future, there are rumors outside these days, saying......"

"Say what?"

"Say, this jade gate is about to become the jade gate of the Qiang people!"

"Oh? Is this really the case? ”

Hawking turned his face away and ignored Su Ren. Su Ren patted Hawking's shoulder: "The mouth grows on other people's bodies, and we can't control other people's mouths, you and I are standing in the City Lord's Mansion, who do you say is the owner of this jade gate?" ”

"Then why did you release those Qiang?"

Su Ren smiled: "You don't understand, go ahead, do what you should do!" If you encounter this kind of thing again while you are on patrol, you can just do it, and if the leaders and leaders want them, let them come to me. ”

"Are you going to let it go again?"

Su Ren was stunned for a moment, and kicked when he raised his foot. Hawking immediately dodged, and the person had already arrived at the door: "Whether you let it go or not, I still have to catch it, and it will be good to catch it and beat it!" ”

"Get out!" Before Su Ren's words could be spoken, Hawking had disappeared.

He sat down under the tree again and picked up Zhang Qian's notes again. Today, I happened to see the article of Che Shiguo, which was recorded in Zhang Qian's notes: Che Shiguo, the capital of the country is Jiaohe, there are 60,000 people, and Jiaohe City is within a radius of 15 miles, and there are many savages in the city, with high noses and deep cheekbones, and they are not good at fighting. Dunhuang in the southeast, Loulan and Shanshan in the south, Yanqi in the west, Wusun in the northwest, Xiongnu in the northeast, and merchants in the Western Regions gather, which is the more prosperous place in the countries of the Western Regions.

Su Ren turned back and there was no record, and he felt a little regretful. Cheshi Country is a good place, it is the best geographical location among the countries of the Western Regions, if you can occupy it, you can cut off the connection between the Xiongnu and the countries of the Western Regions, and at the same time, you can also divide the countries of the Western Regions in two, so that they have no scruples. While thinking, Su Ren planned that in the future, if Emperor Liu Che sent himself to lead his troops to attack the Western Regions, whether to occupy Shanshan and Yanqi first, or directly attack the Che Division, divide the Western Regions into two, and then slowly digest them.

Manniu came in again, and when he saw that Su Ren was thinking about something, he stood aside and didn't say anything. Su Ren asked, "What's the matter?" Is Xiao Jin arresting people again? ”

Manniu hurriedly said: "Mr. Yu, it's not Hawking, there are dozens of people from the Western Regions outside the door, and they kneel outside the door carrying the wounded, neither asking to see Mr. nor leaving!" ”

"Hey!" Su Ren sighed: "What's the trouble with this!" Let's go, let's see! ”

There were two wounded people lying on the door panel, one had a blue nose and swollen face, and the other was estimated to have a broken arm, and the whole arm was fixed with a wooden plank, and the head was also wrapped in sackcloth, presumably the injury was not light. Behind the two wounded, there were men and women kneeling on the ground, and in the front was a woman holding a child, her eyes were swollen from crying, and she was still shedding tears.

"What's going on? Come, get up and speak! Su Ren reached out to pull an old man next to the woman.

The old man knelt like that, didn't say anything, kept his head down and didn't say a word. Su Ren turned around and asked Manniu: "Say, who bullied the old man?" Is it that Kim Il-pan is under-counting money again? Or did Zhang Qianke deduct his wages? ”

Manniu was confused, he didn't know why Su Ren asked him this, and hurriedly replied: "Mr. Yu, Jin Riyan didn't undercount his wages, and Zhang Taishou didn't deduct it!" ”

"And why is that?"

The woman holding the child cried out and kowtowed: "Please let the general call the shots for us!" ”

"I beg the general to call the shots for me!" Hundreds of people shouted together, it was really grand, and when I heard it, I felt a great grievance.

Su Ren helped the old man again, this time the old man was not stubborn, he took advantage of the situation, and wiped his eyes: "General Su, we are the craftsmen of An'an, originally we were waiting to build the city for you, you gave us wages, and the two did not owe each other, but the old man knew that this Yumen was a good place, and he was ready to bury the old bones here, and he already regarded this place as his home!" ”

The old man grabbed Su Ren's hand: "What's more, Mr. Su also said that day, as long as you are willing to stay, you are from Yumen and Han!" But these days, those Qiang people continue to hurt our Han people, and the old man shows this old face, begging General Su to make the decision for our Han people, and not let those Qiang people take away the home we have worked so hard to build! ”

The old man's words were reasonable, and every sentence hit Su Ren's heart. Su didn't know what to say for a while, and he was a little ashamed.
