Huo Gaoling said decently and reasonably, and the people of Pingming dispersed according to their words, and it didn't take long for another group of people in the city to rush out, but it was the general who led the officers at all levels to come. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The third wave of people arrived were Mrs. Lao Wanrong, the widow of Lord Taishou, and Miss Gongzi, as well as a number of servants and guards, and when they arrived, they cried around the coffin lid, and the miserable and sad was not weaker than that of the common people.

When the county Cheng Lao Yanfei and a cadre of officials of the East China Sea County all came, there was enough time delay, and Lao Zao ordered Qi Ling to enter the city.

Suddenly, all kinds of powerful soldiers and civilians embraced each other into the city, lively and chaotic, and there was no big mess, so no one controlled it, until the corpse of the Taishou was welcomed into the Taishou Mansion, and the greeting was over.

After the greeting was over, the next funeral kicked off, and the entire Taishou Mansion was very busy, and officials at all levels were even more busy running around, serving the most honorable master of Donghai County for the last journey.

Lao Zao returned to the Taishou Mansion, did not have time to rest, and was immediately questioned by the officials of Donghai County led by the county Cheng, and everyone really felt incredible in their hearts, how could Lord Taishou be killed for no reason, in the calm and uneventful Xiangjun.

Lao Zao, who went to find out what had happened, said something unexpected: "You asked me about this, and I don't know how to talk about it, because when I went, everything was already over, whether I went or who went, the result was the same." ”

Everyone was stunned, and the county Cheng Lao Yanfei said disappreliantly: "Lao Zao, what did you say, you told the truth of the matter from beginning to end." ”

Lao Zao sighed again, and said: "I rushed to Xiangjun non-stop, all the way to visit the local county order of Xiangjun with me as the leader, I went to the county government that day, the county government is not only the county order and other officials, the high-level county of Xiangjun Lord Huang Tiecong and General Huang Bian have been waiting for a long time, after the politeness, they took me to the county government Yizhuang, and saw the body of Taishou. ”

Lao Zao really couldn't describe it, he couldn't stand the grief, but he had to describe it, saying: "Taishou was killed by someone who cut his neck with a knife, and there was only this wound on his body, I asked them for a murderer, Lord Huang Tiecong took me to the prison cell of the county government, where many thieves were imprisoned, one of them called the hollow drum thief was their leader, and Lord Taishou died in his hands." ”

Lao Yanfei asked in surprise: "I caught all the bandits so quickly, and I also captured their leader." ”

Lao Zao replied: "Yes, Xiangjun was furious when he learned that my Taishou of Donghai County had died at the hands of the bandits in their territory, and immediately sent 5,000 troops to exterminate the bandits, and even the leader was captured. ”

Lao Zao paused and said: "The big thief confessed to killing Taishou, saying that when he saw Taishou pulling a few carriages of things, he thought it was gold, silver and jewelry, and had a bad heart, so he led hundreds of thieves to surround and capture Taishou, and when he saw that it was all food and food, he killed Taishou in a fit of rage. ”

Lao Yanfei asked, "None of the sergeants brought by Lord Taishou escaped, and all of them were killed. ”

Lao Zao said sadly: "The bodies of three people have not been found, and the rest are dead. ”

Gangqiang said: "The people brought by Taishou are all veterans in the army, and the combat effectiveness is all first-class people, and the whole army was wiped out, these bandits are so brave and powerful." ”

"Outnumbered and caught in the enemy's trap, the sergeants were killed by random arrows. ”

Lao Yanfei asked again: "What about the big thief, why don't you bring it back to Donghai County and break it into pieces." ”

Lao Zao said helplessly: "Because of this matter, I almost fought with the people of Xiangjun, they didn't let me take it away, so I had to ask on the spot, and in the end, I had no choice but to watch them cut off the heads of several bandit leaders, and I helped Ling come back." ”

Lao Yanfei said: "There are a lot of strange things about this matter, you didn't send someone to inquire about it. ”

Lao Zao said: "I sent a sergeant to make an unannounced visit to inquire, there were indeed bandits in the local area, there was indeed a big battle that day, and the rest of the surrounding people were not clear, they didn't dare to get closer to check, and they couldn't ask anything." ”

Lao Yanfei looked up to the sky and sighed with a sad expression: "That's it, my Donghai County Taishou was killed in Xiangjun, could it be that he Xiangjun only needs to kill the murderer, and we will forget it." ”

Lao Zao was so angry that he sat down in his chair, he didn't know what to say, he didn't fight for it, and he also won some food and compensation, but what was the use, the dignified Taishou was only worth such a little thing.

Lao Yanfei pretended to be angry and said: "No, I drafted a document to complain to Wang Du, asking Wang Du to give me Donghai County to preside over justice." ”

Lao Zao said: "Xiangjun agreed to compensate 30,000 silver coins and 200,000 catties of food, and hoped that we would not complain to the royal capital again." ”

Lao Wanrong said angrily: "Just 30,000 taels of silver and 200,000 catties of food want to buy my husband's life, he really dares to bully my Donghai County, and sees that my Donghai County is powerless to resist." ”

Lao Wanrong said to Lao Yanfei: "Lao Juncheng must need you to go to the royal capital, explain the reason for everything to the Lord of Yingshan, and ask him to uphold justice." ”

Lao Yanfei said: "This matter is postponed, Donghai County is full of holes, I really can't go away, wait until the royal capital and the white turban army are separated from each other." ”

Lao Wanrong said: "It's okay." ”

At this moment, a cavalryman outside the Taishou Mansion came urgently, only to see him turn over and dismount, move quickly and quickly, holding the black arrow unique to Donghai County in his hand, shout to stop the sergeant guarding the door, rushed all the way to the assembly hall, and blocked the high-level officials of Donghai County who were about to disperse in the room.

The sergeant knelt on the ground and reported: "The commander of the conscription army fire spirit battalion reports to all of you, asking the strong general to immediately send two thousand soldiers to Hailing County to garrison, and the fire spirit battalion leader has already captured Hailing County. ”

Gangqiang couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard this, and said in surprise: "So fast, how did the Fire Spirit Battalion Leader do it?" ”

The sergeant clearly did not understand the specifics of what was going on, his breath was short, and he stammered and couldn't explain why.

Lao Wanrong cried with joy and said: "This is a great achievement, the fire spirit battalion leader avenges my Donghai County, it is a great hero, what is there to delay the strong battalion leader, and immediately ordered to send troops to Hailing County to garrison the lost land." ”

Gangqiang did not immediately agree, but looked at the county Cheng Lao Yanfei, Lao Yanfei still had a clear mind in his heart, but he did not agree with my proposal, so he postponed and said: "This matter has to be investigated clearly before making a decision." ”

Lao Wanrong did not allow Lao Yanfei to postpone, and said: "The battlefield is changing rapidly, and the Fire Spirit Battalion Leader is already asking for help, how can we hesitate and delay the fighter." ”

Lao Feng finally interjected and said: "Lao Juncheng, do what my mother said, since the Fire Spirit Battalion leader asked for help, he must have suffered heavy losses in his troops, and it is not easy to take Hailing County, and he can't lose it again." ”

Lao Yanfei looked at everyone's eyes, it was his idea to call up the army to attack Hailing County, if he delayed any longer, I am afraid it would not be possible, so he signaled to send troops strongly. (To be continued.) )
