After listening to Zhao Bantou's report, Lu Fei was surprised and delighted, he was still worried about the silver of the mining factory, but now it's good, there was a small gold mountain piled up on the mountain, and this money is just used here, and it can be regarded as taking it from the people, using it for the people, and accumulating virtue. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Opening a mine is not comparable to building a fish pond, the most important thing is to get the permission of the imperial court, before these things are done, Lu Fei can't tell Ling Dan, so as not to disappoint her, how to make the imperial court agree to his idea, Lu Fei pinned this hope on Zhao Junma, now it seems that King Ning may be more effective, Lu Fei plans to wait for the completion of Zhao'an, and then go to explain the matter to King Ning.

Yun Niang was not around, Li Shun was also on vacation, and Zhao Bantou was not a person who could be discussed, Lu Fei felt helpless, and no one was available.

While Lu Fei was talking to Zhao Bantou, Li Shun actually returned to the county office.

I saw him come to the back office full of spring breeze and full of energy, and flew to Lu and saluted, "Master, I'm back"

Lu Fei teased him when he saw Li and said, "What's the matter, master, how can this body look light and fluttery after going home for a few days?"

Li Shun stretched out his arm and looked at it, wondering, "Is there one?" ”

Lu Fei smiled, glanced at Zhao Bantou, and said, "My master, you are not young at this age, don't think that sleeping with a wife doesn't cost money, take it easy, your body is your own"

Zhao Bantou was on the side, "Master hasn't been home for half a year, no wonder"

The two laughed, Li Shun blushed and had a thick neck, and said, "This, don't make this kind of joke, the master is an old husband and wife, and it will make people laugh when it is passed out."

Lu Feile said, "No, no, people are not old-hearted, I will take you to Huancai Immortal Pavilion Lele another day, how about it?" ”

The three of them laughed together, and the back office was full of harmony.

After the fun, Lu Fei pressed his hand, "Okay, no kidding, master, you came back just in time, I have something for you to do."

"What?"

"Zhao'an is a big deal now, that rake is no longer in the way, the day after tomorrow is the day of Zhao'an, so many people will come down from the mountain at once, and they are people who have done evil, this may bring uneasiness to the people in the county, you have to find a way to appease it"

Li Shun shook the folding fan, "This is easy to do, I will issue some proclamations for the people in a while, and I can also let Zhao Bantou and those righteous soldiers be stationed at the gates of each city, and after a long time, they will naturally be safe."

Lu Fei nodded and said, "Well, this is the best, if this matter is solved, then there will be no problem, then the day after tomorrow, Zhao Bantou, you bring a dozen or so rebels with me to the bottom of the mountain to pick them up, master, you have to keep an eye on the movements of Zhang Rake's camp, although others are not here, but I am afraid that he will leave a follow-up move, and the subordinates who support him to stay here will destroy my recruitment plan, and the other rebels will all be given to you, if there is anything wrong, you will notify me immediately."

Li Shun nodded, Zhao Bantou was a little worried, "My lord, there are more than 300 bandits on the mountain, we only take these few people, in case they become hanging, then the adults will be dangerous, those are bandits who kill people and set fires, it is better to bring more people"

Lu Fei waved his hand, "Don't worry, Zhao'an is freedom, freedom is more important than anything else, they won't mess around"

Lu Fei was silent for a while, and then said, "Zhao Bantou, I still have to ask you to do something, help me find a sedan chair, the kind that the bride wants to sit on."

Zhao Bantou was puzzled, "Who marries a daughter-in-law?" ”

Lu Fei pursed his lips, "Why do you ask so much, you can do it, and when the time comes, you will carry it down the mountain together, master, I will be useful."

Li Shun hurriedly stood up and said with a smile, "It turns out that you are going to be overjoyed, congratulations, I don't know which girl it is?" ”

Lu Fei smiled, "Go, what are you coaxing?"

When Ling Dan took Yun Niang to the mountain as a hostage, he left a message, and on the day of recruitment, he had to let Lu Fei use a sedan chair to carry his sister Ling Ning to Lu Fei's side, which was called justifiable, and the famous matchmaker was marrying.

Zhang Razi, with 500 light horsemen, was hindered by heavy rain for most of the day, and did not arrive at Jiangjiazhuang in Jiujiang Mansion until the morning of the 26th.

With the arrival of Zhang rake, the calm Jiangjiazhuang has become a hell on earth, five hundred cavalry in the village to see people to kill, see the house to burn, even kill until the sunset of the West Mountain, more than 200 people of Jiangjiazhuang, the corpses are all over the field, the blood flows into a river, the whole village regardless of men, women and children, no one is spared, a house collapsed in the raging fire, the prosperous manor only took an afternoon to become a large cemetery, Zhang Rake ordered people to pile up the corpses of the whole Zhuang people, a fire burned clean, The whole Jiang family ended up like this, it was only because King Ning wanted Jiang Jiazhuang to work for King Ning and was rejected that he got this bad luck, killing people is as simple as killing chickens, this is a game of thrones.

When the affairs of Jiangjiazhuang were dealt with, it was almost night, Zhang Razi did not hurry to rest, and rushed back to Susong's camp with people non-stop, he must clean up the bandits in the mountain on the last day of the 20th.

For the bandits on the mountain, today is a big day, a big day of rebirth, a day of new destiny begins.

Ling Dan is still in a green shirt and half-covering her face, wearing a tight-fitting suit, carrying a long sword, her hair hangs down her shoulders, and her well-proportioned figure is also particularly heroic, she stands in front of everyone, these people have been dominant, and they have done a lot of evil, but from their dull eyes, we can see their desire for freedom, their yearning for life, and their thirst for the world beyond the mountains.

People are not born landlords, untouchables, langzhong, bandits, the tricks of fate make them lose themselves, the experience of many disasters and hardships leads them astray, lost in the depths of this vast mountain, piles of gold and silver, the meat of the cauldron, and the ruthless killing do not extinguish their conscience, they just need a chance, a chance to start over, a chance to let themselves take everything, even life.

Today, Lu Fei gave them this opportunity, to keep to themselves, and to be reborn as a human being.

Ling Dan stood in front of the uneven team of bandits, walking back and forth, her face also showed a hint of relief, the days of licking blood on the knife edge all these years are finally coming to an end today, so many brothers on the mountain have not fought with her in vain, and it can be regarded as finding a good home for these people.

Ling Dan raised his voice and said, "Brothers, a few years ago, everyone came here from all over the world to gather righteousness, in order to endure the unfair treatment of the government and the strong, in order to live a few days of life that truly belongs to them, but they were frightened all day long, and they have always fallen into the infamy of a bandit, this kind of infamy will not only make us suffer from people for the rest of our lives, but also harm our children and grandchildren, so that they will not be able to carry it up for eternity, is this what you want to see?" ”

The bandits shouted in unison, "I don't want to"

Ling Dan raised his hand, "I don't want to, today, just today, is the day when you and my brother can wash away the shame of the past, from now on, you can be an upright person, you can tell your children, your relatives and friends, I am no longer a bandit"

The bandits shouted loudly, brandishing a variety of long and short weapons in their hands, and shouted in unison.

"Down the mountain, down the mountain"

"Don't be a bandit, don't be infamy"

"After Lao Tzu goes down the mountain, he will buy a few acres of land, find a cousin, and live a peaceful life for a few years."

“......”

Ling Dan saw that the crowd was excited, so he waved his hand again, signaling everyone to be quiet, "There is no banquet in the world, I, Ling Dan, a female generation, have been sincerely supported by all the brothers on the mountain, and I am regarded as a big boss, this is worthy of the name of the green shirt, Ling Dan thank you" Saying that, Ling Dan hugged his fists, and walked in front of everyone one by one, his eyes were full of sincerity.

As soon as these words came out, all the bandits looked gloomy, they were all brothers who had lived and died together for many years, once they were recruited, the possibility of being together was very small, everyone looked at each other, and the bandits who were accustomed to killing people and setting fire rarely showed their warm side once.

Ling Dan saw that everyone's mood was a little low, and hurriedly shouted, "When you go down the mountain, everyone is an upright Tang people, I have already negotiated the conditions with the county master, they will properly settle everyone, and they will definitely not let the brothers be wronged, a good day is waiting for you, and some of you can walk home and have a look in a dignified manner."

At this time, a middle-aged man in the crowd squeezed out, wearing a small coat, and there were several long old scars on his exposed chest and arms, showing his long experience as a bandit, experience is the capital of life, this is something that can't be bought with money, he waved his hand and shouted at Ling Dan, "Big boss, we are all down the mountain, what about you, what will the court do to you?" ”

As soon as he said this, everyone's hearts were raised, this is a question that everyone is concerned about, a day for a bandit will carry infamy for the rest of his life, even if he is whitewashed today, he also has a reputation as a bandit, not to mention that as the leader of the bandit, can Zhao'an really let her get out of the way?

Looking at the concerned eyes of the brothers, Ling Dan smiled leisurely and was silent, since the name of the green-shirted man was known in the rivers and lakes over the years, chivalry and righteousness were the foundation of her life, and she could not value love and righteousness, at least she had achieved affection and righteousness, and now Zhao'an was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, she must seize it, this is also due to meeting Lu Fei, the county master, in other words, someone else is in charge, and the bandits who dare to kill officials have long been surrounded and suppressed, time is not waiting, she is planning for the brothers, thinking for her sister Ling Dan, She didn't think much about what would happen to her in the future, and it would be useless to think too much, as long as her brothers and sisters could be safe.

Ling Dan was silent for a long time before he slowly opened his mouth, "The brothers can say this, it is also the little sister, I did not have a righteous alliance with everyone in vain, little sister thank you, this heaven and earth are big, why worry about not having a place for me to be a green shirt, the little sister has been practicing dance since she was a child, and her life's wish is to be happy and enmity, fighting the sword rivers and lakes, this world is big, why worry about not having a place for me, you don't have to worry about me, but the little sister should give the brothers a reminder in advance, from now on, everyone must be a man who keeps to himself, not as arbitrary as in the mountains, one day, If someone can stand out and make some fame, it can be regarded as a move by the little sister to recruit security today."

The crowd was unusually quiet, although it was reluctant to give up on the righteousness of brothers, but it could not compare to the joy of rebirth, and after a while, everyone exchanged their heads and stammered with each other, talking to each other about what would happen after they went down the mountain, and their joy dissolved.

Ling Dan also instructed everyone to act separately, and gathered the money and grain that had been decorated in the mountain to the mountainside, the sun was already high, according to the brother who went to listen to the news, Lu Zhixian had already brought a dozen or so officials carrying a festive eight-carrying sedan chair to the mountain, and now it was time for everyone to prepare.

And when they were commanded, they went their separate ways.

Ling Dan stood on the top of the mountain, holding a pergola in her hand, looking at the direction where Lu Fei came from in front of her, and there was no one in front of her, she looked up at the sky again, it should take a while to arrive.

Ling Dan wiped the sweat from her forehead, went down to the top of the mountain, and walked back to her residence, she still had something important to do.

After the Juyi Hall, in the boudoir of the two sisters, Yun Niang was carefully dressing up Ling Ning, Ling Ning in the bronze mirror was dressed in a gorgeous red wedding dress, although it was in the bandit's nest, the phoenix crown and xia were complete, three thousand green silk coiled up, and gold and jade jewelry were inserted, Ling Ning moved slightly, and all kinds of exquisite and small ornaments sounded.

Ling Ning was overjoyed, reaching out and touching her rouge-covered cheeks for a while, and fiddling with the wedding dress on her body a few times, she didn't expect all this to come so quickly, so fast that she couldn't believe it, a girl who grew up in a fishing village was able to marry the county magistrate today, or a famous matchmaker, this joy was difficult for Yun Niang, who was busy on the side, to understand.

Yun Niang has been getting along with Ling Ning since she was taken captive by Ling Dan and has been with Ling Ning, she can feel the strong attachment of this little girl without any scheming to Lu Fei, Yun Niang's jealous expression on her face at that time has never made Ling Ning feel a little uneasy, she is so simple, Ling Ning shows all her thoughts on her face or opens her heart directly to Yun Niang, Ling Ning likes to ask Yun Niang about everything about Lu Fei, when she heard that Lu Fei's hand was cut by a knife, Ling Ning felt as if her hand was cut, I wanted to go down the mountain many times to take a look, but I was stopped by my sister, Ling Ning's world was completely occupied by Lu Fei, and when my sister told her that the day of recruitment was when she married Lu Fei, she was so excited that she couldn't sleep all night.

Yun Niang smoothed the clothes on Ling Ning's chest, took a step back, and nodded with satisfaction, "Ling Ning, you are so beautiful, Lord Lu is really blessed, congratulations" Yun Niang couldn't tell whether she was sincere or not, these days the two of them got along and told her that Ling Ning was a good girl, kind-hearted, peerless, and a thoughtful heart that cared for Lu Fei, no matter who she married, that man was definitely the object of jealousy of others.

Thinking that Ling Ning came from a humble background, her parents died, and she had the reputation of a bandit girl, her fate was murmuring, if she could really follow Lu Fei, it would be an eye-opener, which made Yun Niang hate Ling Ning to some extent.

Ling Ning in the bronze mirror blushed, looked down at his clothes, his eyes were like a pool of clear water, and said in a low voice, "Sister Yun, it's not all your ingenuity, thank you, did you say that Lord Lu would like me like this, isn't it too glamorous?"

Yun Niang smiled reluctantly, "You are the best-looking bride I have ever seen, if he can't look at it, it means that he has no vision"

Ling Ning's face turned even redder, and he blinked his eyes and asked, "Then, after that, I have a misservice to Lord Lu, can you teach me?" ”

A trace of bitterness rose in Yun Niang's heart, will there be a place for her in the county government in the future? Even if Lu Fei won't let herself live on the streets, can she live in Lu Fei's world together? Yun Niang couldn't imagine what kind of play this would be, and what kind of role she would play in this play.

"Well, of course you can, Ling Ning, you are so smart and clever, nothing will be difficult for you," Yun Niang said with a hint of sadness.

Ling Ning smiled knowingly, his expression innocent.

At this time, Ling Dan walked into the room.

Ling Ning immediately bounced up from the stool and took her sister's hand, "Sister, are they here, Lord Lu?" ”

Ling Dan glanced at Yun Niang, smiled, reached out and pinched her sister's face, and deliberately blamed, "You girl, you are really not ashamed, you don't have to be in such a hurry to get married."

Ling Ning shook Ling Dan's arm, "Sister, why do you keep making fun of me"

Ling Dan stopped smiling, solemnly held his sister's shoulders, looked up and down carefully, and smiled at Yun Niang, expressing that he was very satisfied with his sister's dress, "Yun Niang, thank you"

Yun Niang smiled, "It's her natural beauty, I can't do it if I want to look ugly."

At this time, someone outside the house came to report, saying that the team of Zhao'an in Luzhi County was less than two miles, and the three women were all happy, Yun Niang helped Ling Ning, and went to the top of the mountain together, looking at it from a distance, in the distance, a team of people and horses were coming slowly, and the big red sedan chair sandwiched in the team was particularly conspicuous, and Ling Ning was blushing and red.

On another road, more than 20 miles away from the mountain, Zhang Razi was taking five hundred light horsemen to surround the mountain, and after just entering the boundary of Susong, Zhang Rake was in a hurry to return to the camp to report the news, and the army came to encircle, and all this Lu Fei and the bandits in the mountain were completely ignorant, and King Ning did not know that he had asked two royal warriors who accompanied Zhang Rake to report to the Junma Mansion, saying that Jiangjiazhuang had been leveled, and he himself took the men and horses, quickly whipped the horse, and ran to the mountain, and the last date limited by the holy decree was in the present dynasty, It was a shame that he finally rushed back, which was completely beyond Lu Fei's expectations, and even more unimaginable to King Ning.

Above the mountain, a dozen crows were circling, as if waiting for a hearty meal.

Sitting on the horse, Lu Fei was full of spring breeze, and from time to time stretched his neck to look at the rolling mountains in the distance, he had been preparing for a long time on this day, and the harvest time had finally arrived.

The newly decorated big red sedan chair followed closely behind Lu Fei, he looked back at the up-and-down sedan chair, smiled, put his hand on his head and looked forward, "Big eyes, how long will it take?" Lu Fei had been to a mountain, and he knew how far it was, but he still couldn't help but ask again and again.

The big-eyed man who was leading the horse for the county lord replied mechanically, "It's almost there"

Lu Fei casually tapped his big-eyed hat with a horsewhip, "You said you were going to be fast half an hour ago."

The big eyes said to Lu Fei, the county magistrate, who had already become a buddy brother, and casually pointed ahead, "This time it's really fast, you see, isn't that what is ahead?"

Lu Fei twisted his butt on horseback, smiled, and said to the rebels and servants who were walking beside him, "Brothers, get up in spirit, it's almost here, wait for this matter, master, I'll give you a reward and give you a red envelope."

Everyone knows that when this old man is in a good mood, he is an ordinary person, full of swearing, scolding the street, if it is a fire, even the sharp knife edge dares to grab it with his hands, and now everyone understands that the old man is in a good mood, and some people in the team made jokes.

A servant who used a knife as a crutch smiled and said, "Master, are you marrying a daughter-in-law or recruiting an today?"

Lu Fei grinned, "Both"

Someone else said, "Master, I heard that the Ling sisters look exactly the same, do you want to marry your sister or sister?" ”

Lu Fei pouted on the horse, and said with some disappointment, "Alas, master, I want to marry both, but who let their mother die early, and now my sister can only marry my sister to me, hey, I said, have you given yourself to the others?" ”

Everyone laughed together, and some said, "What's so difficult about this, just find a matchmaker to say no one day, and the little ones can still drink two wedding wines, hehe"

Lu Fei raised his neck on the horse and smiled, pointing at the man, "As far as your kid is greedy, tell you, if you want to drink, you have to know with the courtesy, master, I am poor, gift money, you look at it, at least not less than two taels of silver."

A few officials pushed the man and coaxed, "You kid, which pot you don't open, you still want to eat the white food of the county master, but now it's okay, two gifts can take away a year's rations for our people."

The man blushed, touched his head, and then smiled and said no more.

Lu Fei cut off, "Look at your picking, am I afraid that I won't have any money to spend with my master?" Cut, as soon as this is over, I'll give you ten taels of silver each, which is enough for you to eat Haisai for a while, haha"

Everyone was overjoyed, their legs and feet were sharpened, and the mountain was getting closer and closer.

Zhao Bantou, who had been following the team, sped up a few steps at this time, came to the side of Lu Fei's mount, and said as he walked, "Master, how do I feel that something is missing?" ”

Lu Fei looked around and said, "What's missing?" ”

Zhao Bantou smiled and said, "Look, sir, today is also your big day, isn't it a little less lively, not festive?"

Lu Fei slapped his thigh, "Yo, it's really, why didn't I think of hiring a few blowers to play and sing, you too, where is this, you only remind me now, how to be the head of the team"

Zhao Bantou looked aggrieved, "I haven't married a daughter-in-law, nor have I been a matchmaker, where can I think of these things in advance, or I'll go back to the city to find a few."

The mountain is close in front of him, Lu Fei waved his hand, "Come on, when you come back, the daylilies will be cold, so be it."

At this time, the big eyes turned around and interjected with a smile, "Master, the little one has been pondering, you said that you will marry all the Ling sisters back in the future, can you tell who is who?" You can't run to the wrong room at night, right? ”

When everyone heard it, there was a burst of laughter, and Lu Fei gently slapped the big eye on the head with a horsewhip, and said angrily, "Just count your kid who talks a lot, can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour, what can you do if you run wrong, master, I am willing to toss at both ends, you are what a bachelor can understand."

Big eyes scratched his head and grinned, "Then sir, whether you are marrying a sister or a sister today, don't make a mistake for a while, it's convenient for the little ones to be called, don't see Mrs. Zhixian is rude."

Lu Fei laughed, "Tell you, remember, master, I am going to pick up my sister today, my sister is still preparing a dowry for herself, I am preparing a seat for her, no one is allowed to rob me, whoever robs me is in a hurry." ”
