When he came to the city gate, Wang Yue stepped forward and shouted at the city gate: "Brother the defenders upstairs, please open the door." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

The gatekeeper glanced down and found that it was still Wang Yue, and said impatiently: "Why are you again, didn't you tell you to leave early?" ”

Wang Yue came prepared this time, and shouted upstairs: "The government stipulates that this city gate must not be closed for no reason, I don't know why this city gate is closed today, and please explain it to your lordship." ”

"Hey, I said how you kid is a tough seed. Lao Tzu is the gatekeeper here, if you can't open it, you won't open it, can you control it? The gatekeeper pointed at Wang Yue under the city and shouted angrily: "Besides, you have so many people, who knows if you are a rebel." If I let you in, who will bear the guilt? ”

"I am the prefect's personal envoy to suppress bandits, and I am by no means a rebel!"

"You say you're you, who testifies to you?"

Wang Yue was about to defend when a voice came from behind him.

"I wonder if the old man is enough to testify for him?"

When the gatekeeper saw that someone had come forward again, he immediately shouted, "You old fellow, who knows you are ......." At this point, the gatekeeper stopped. He didn't pay attention to it just now, but at this moment, he found that this person was quite familiar. Look at it again, hey, hey, isn't this the prefect.

He didn't expect Wang Yue to invite the prefect, let alone scold the prefect in front of him. At this moment, a cold sweat came out from behind the gatekeeper, and it was a big crime to insult the court officials. And it is also a great sin to close the gates of the city for no reason. At this moment, the goalkeeper didn't know what he was supposed to do. The people above told him to find trouble for Wang Yue, and they didn't tell him what to do when the prefect came.

Seeing this, Wang Yue said in his heart: "The prefect still has an aura, and this time he came out to calm the scene." ”

Seeing that the gatekeeper was slow to answer, the prefect shouted angrily: "What's the matter? Do you want to ask the adults to open the door in person? ”

Only then did the gatekeeper pull his consciousness back into his mind, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers under the city to open the city gate.

Wang Yue led the ironclad army into the city with the prefect, and at this moment, the residents of the northern city spontaneously stood on both sides of the road to welcome the return of the ironclad army. They were miserable by this group of bandits, and now that the Ironclad Army has exterminated the bandits, they don't have to worry about it when they go out to do business, because they are still very grateful to the Ironclad Army.

As soon as the prefect entered the city gate, he asked Wang Yue to lead people to arrest the gatekeeper. He also understood that the idea of closing the city gate was definitely not up to the gatekeeper himself, but he was the leader of this Xingyuan, and he could arrest him just because the gatekeeper did not obey his orders.

When the people saw this scene, they raised their hands and cheered. The gatekeeper closed the city gate, which also had a great impact on their lives, but as the people, they dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, and now that the prefect has arrested them, they are naturally supported by the people. Moreover, this gatekeeper actually locked the meritorious ironclad army out of the door, which made the people even more angry.

There was nothing to do all the way, Wang Yue asked Wang Youhua and others to go back to the house with the ironclad army first, while he followed the prefect to the yamen. They still have a lot of things to deal with, such as the surrender of Scar and others, as well as the rewards of soldiers, etc.

When he came to the mansion, the prefect invited Wang Yue to the living room, which is where the prefect usually comes when he returns to see officials, which means that Wang Yue already has a good status in the eyes of the prefect.

"Bohu, you come to report the harvest of this bandit, and when the time comes, I will report to the court to ask for a reward for you."

"Yes, sir. In this crackdown on bandits, our army beheaded more than 1,200 people, captured more than 400 people, and various materials of about 50,000 taels of silver. After Wang Yue wanted the prefect to make a salute, he slowly said the harvest of this crackdown on bandits, but Wang Yue was also a little selfish, and he was ready to find an opportunity to expand the army, so in terms of money, Wang Yue left more than half for himself.

After listening to Wang Yue's report, the prefect nodded and said with a smile: "In this way, the harvest is really not small." More than 1,600 people were captured, and according to the rules of the imperial court, you should be able to get a total of about 16,000 taels of silver this time. However, this is theoretical, in fact, the imperial court will not give so much at all, not to mention that you have not yet made a formal preparation. Then he lowered his head and thought for a while and said: "In this way, your 50,000 taels of silver can be handed over to 30,000, and the remaining 20,000 will be your reward, so that the people above will not force you to ask for it for the sake of face." ”

This made Wang Yue really happy, originally his plan was for the prefect to collect the 50,000 taels of silver, but he didn't expect the prefect to leave him 20,000 taels, which made him praise the prefect fiercely in his heart.

"My lord, how to deal with the surrender of the three Scars?" This is what Wang Yue really cares about, he really needs someone who understands military affairs to help him train soldiers.

"Hehe, don't worry about this, although I left you 20,000 taels, the remaining 30,000 taels are enough to do this." The prefect smiled and answered Wang Yue's question.

"My lord means that these 30,000 taels are used to open up the joints?"

"So what do you think?"

"But isn't this a trophy that should be handed over to the imperial court?"

Hearing this, the prefect glanced at Wang Yue, sighed and said, "Hey, Bohu, there are really few upright people like you in my Great Song Dynasty." Do you know that even if I hand over the 30,000 taels, I am afraid that in the end it will only be a few hundred taels to the treasury! ”

Wang Yue originally knew that if this money was handed over, officials at all levels would definitely leave some of it for themselves, but it would not be enough to leave only such a little in the treasury.

"Not really, right?" Wang Yue couldn't believe such a thing, what would the country rely on to run in such a way?

"Why do you think we're being driven here by the Golden Dog? It's not because the generals are full of personal pockets and empty salaries. said that it was an army of 100,000, I estimate that 20,000 is enough, otherwise how could it be defeated so quickly! The prefect said indignantly: "You don't care about this matter, I will naturally help you do it, or that sentence, if you want to change the current situation of the Great Song Dynasty, study hard and occupy a place in the court." ”

After speaking, the prefect picked up the tea, and Wang Yue had no choice but to leave. However, he was still very happy on this trip, after all, he earned an extra 20,000 taels of silver, and solved the matter of Scar and others.

As soon as Wang Yue entered the gate, the porter told him that the soldiers were now waiting for him in the school yard. Hearing this, Wang Yue blushed a little, he had delayed a lot of time to buy gifts for Gong Yue along the way, and when he saw this, he stuffed the things in his hand to the concierge and let him watch, and he hurriedly ran to the school field.

As soon as he entered the school field, Wang Yue saw the iron armor army standing neatly in the school field. Seeing that Wang Yue was coming, Wang Youhua hurriedly invited him to the high platform to lecture the soldiers.
