(Thanks to the readers who supported me greatly, a new week has begun, cheekily begging for subscriptions, clicks, and monthly passes.) ）

Su Tiancheng's name, Deng Hui has heard it, although it is not very familiar, after all, Su Tiancheng is a native of Shanxi, and the scholars in the north are generally not as good as the southerners, but Su Tiancheng defeated many southern students and became the president of the examination, which is the pride of the northern scholars, Deng Hui did not expect that the minister of disaster relief sent by the imperial court this time was actually Su Tiancheng.

Looking at the young Su Tiancheng, who was a little excessive, Deng Hui felt not contempt, but a downright coldness.

The aura emanating from Su Tiancheng's body, he is somewhat familiar, it is the embodiment of being tempered, having a thorough view of things, and being wise and mature, dealing with such a person, don't think about any luck.

But Deng Hui won't give in so quickly, he has also experienced things.

"The grass people are farmers in Xinxiang County, they have suffered a disaster and are desperate, and they heard that the imperial court has come to pray for help."

"It seems that you still don't give up, you are not a victim of Xinxiang, you are from Hui County, how about it, do you still want me to say more."

Deng Hui's face turned a little pale.

"The grass people don't understand the meaning of adults, and the grass people are from Xinxiang County."

"Hehe, then tell me, where are you from Xinxiang, who are the local lieutenants and leaders, and which village are the more than 100 of you from, these questions should be very simple."

Deng Hui opened his mouth and was speechless.

"My patience is limited, I don't want to go around in circles with you, if you don't want to say anything, I don't bother to ask, thinking about robbing the imperial court for disaster relief, you are probably tired of living."

Seeing Deng Hui's body trembling, Su Tiancheng continued to exert pressure.

"I see you're also a reader. I pity you and ask you for questioning, otherwise, you won't have a chance to talk to me, and you should have a reputation for your conversation. I don't know where you learned about it, do you think that the official can't find out your identity, when the time comes, you will die, you will not be able to enter the ancestral hall, and you will have to affect your family, but don't say words of regret. ”

Under the strong pressure, Deng Hui trembled. Plop to his knees.

What scholars are most afraid of is that they will completely ruin their reputation, and if they are excluded by the ancestral hall, they will not be allowed to go to hell after death, and they will not be reborn and become a lonely ghost.

This is also the reason why there are always very few people who read among the peasant rebels.

After all, scholars received an orthodox Confucian education.

On the other hand, the peasants are cornered. It is easy to get together and rebel, and their status is already low. If you don't have so many worries, you can't live anymore, so you have to find a way to live.

After all, Deng Hui and the peasants were different, but they had suffered some grievances, and in a fit of anger, they lost their minds. made such a decision, after falling into the grass, he never disclosed his identity, it was Du Laosan, and he didn't know where his family was. But when facing the government, it is not very difficult to find out his identity.

His heart is still not dead, and he will never think that he will be a grass all his life, and when the opportunity is right, he still has to find a way out, although this way out seems a little slim.

Deng Hui knelt on the ground, Su Tiancheng no longer spoke, he believed that Deng Hui would definitely speak.

"My lord, the grass people want to talk to you alone."

Su Tiancheng nodded, and several officers from the cavalry battalion around him walked out of the tent, only Wang Dazhi was still in the tent, and he would not leave.

"I am indeed a scholar below, I am confused for a while, and I am a coward, but I am forced to do it below."

"Bastard, it's a last resort to fall into the grass, think about the businessmen and farmers who have been attacked by you, will they believe that you are forced to do so, don't say this in front of me, wrong is wrong, this official has always thought that there is no big deal about being wrong, and this official will also make mistakes, what I am most afraid of is not admitting that I am wrong, blindly covering up, and not thinking of correcting it, and a road to the black, this is sad."

Deng Hui's body continued to tremble, and tears were already flowing.

"Okay, since you are a scholar, stand up and speak, the rules of the court, this official must also follow, this official will give you a chance, if you can help the court, exterminate the bandits with evil intentions, everything in the past will be written off."

Deng Hui didn't stand up, and when he heard Su Tiancheng say this, he raised his head suddenly.

"Don't fool around, adults."

Deng Hui's attitude of disregarding humility and eagerness exposed his true thoughts.

"There is no need for this official to fool you, you are afraid that you have thought of it, since you are a local, you have fallen into the grass, so many people know about it, and they have seen your face, and there will be no future, but this official deals with such a thing, it is very simple, let you go to the south, who still knows your identity."

Deng Hui spoke again, and his tone was even more urgent.

"Adults and Zai have never met, why are you so maintained."

"As I said before, anyone will make mistakes, as long as you are willing to correct your mistakes, you must always be given a chance, you fall into the grass, the mistakes are outrageous, and with great credit, it is possible to make up for it."

With Deng Hui's story, Su Tiancheng became more and more frightened.

Du Laosan was really mad, thinking about robbing the disaster relief army, and the plan was quite thorough.

Du Laosan is the biggest bandit in the jurisdiction of Weihui Mansion, if this group of bandits is defeated, I believe that the rest of the bandits will definitely not dare to covet the disaster relief silver.

Evasion is not the way, only by showing power can this kind of situation be prevented.

"My lord, I have said all the things about the Dao, and tomorrow is the time for action."

"Well, under Du Laosan, how many bandits are there, and what is the combat effectiveness?"

"There are a total of 6,000 bandits, leaving 1,000 people to guard the cottage, and the remaining 5,000 people, all involved, these more than 100 people, are the main backbone."

"Oh, tell me what you are proposing."

"I suggested that all these 100 people be detained, and that tomorrow at noon, there will be 1,000 people, disguised as homeless, and the remaining 3,000 people, waiting in front. They are prepared to be inside and out. ”

"More than 100 people have been detained, and tomorrow at noon, the remaining 1,000 people will come, how to explain it."

"I can be responsible for explaining so that they don't suspect."

"Okay, just do as you say. However, there is no need to detain more than 100 people. ”

Deng Hui's body trembled, and he understood what Su Tiancheng meant.

"Don't you suspect it?"

"Don't suspect in employing people, don't think too much, do your own things with peace of mind, and after this matter is over, the official can guarantee that he will not be blamed in the past."

When Deng Hui left the tent, he couldn't believe it, and he looked around. No one is tracking.

Although there is a trace of guilt, Su Tiancheng's trust made him abandon this trace of guilt and serve the court with all his heart.

After Deng Hui left, the officers of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion entered the tent.

Su Tiancheng began to arrange the arrangement, and he had already planned it in his heart.

sub-hours. The sergeant who sent Lu to contact Xinxiang County came back, and a thousand sergeants from Xinxiang had already been dispatched. It's a pity that they are all foot soldiers, and it is impossible to have much combat effectiveness.

Su Tiancheng's face showed a sneer, with this thousand steps, it is enough, after all, the bandits do not have much combat power, but this thousand steps. It's going to take some losses.

At the ugly time, more than 100 sleeping bandits suffered a catastrophe, although they were very well prepared, although they were the best among the bandits. But they didn't carry weapons, and in front of the sergeants of the cavalry battalion, they were only obediently beaten, and of course, there were also those who were not convinced, made a gesture of resistance, and were mercilessly killed.

In just a quarter of an hour, after more than 40 people were killed, the remaining bandits all surrendered on their knees.

Su Tiancheng did not relent, and the bandits who surrendered were escorted to the tent and all of them were killed.

In the second section of the ugly time, the sergeant of Xinxiang County arrived.

Su Tiancheng's dispatch began quickly, the sergeants of the cavalry battalion were all cavalry, they were the main force to suppress the bandits, as for the sergeants sent by the Xinxiang County Inspection Division, the main task was to serve as bait to escort the silver and advance along the official road.

Deng Hui also didn't know where Du Laosan set up an ambush, there was a time difference in this, that is to say, the sergeants of Xinxiang County had to resist for a while, as bait, their task was not light, and they must not be a rabble.

Otherwise, they will collapse prematurely, and the cavalry battalion will not be able to kill and injure the bandits to the maximum.

Such an arrangement is definitely dangerous, but the army is dangerous.

The biggest problem is the problem of Su Tian's own person, it is impossible for him to leave, he must sit in the town, and be with the sergeants of Xinxiang County, although there are a hundred sergeants from the cavalry battalion left around him, but the danger exists.

There was no problem with the rest of the arrangements, and there were some arguments involving the commanders, but in the end, Su Tiancheng made the decision and stayed by himself.

At the end of the day, when the large army set out, there had been some changes, except for the cavalry of about 100 people, the rest were replaced by foot soldiers, and as for the displaced people and victims who followed the disaster relief force, most of them were some old people, children and women.

The sergeants of Xinxiang County, they didn't know what the tasks of Lu Dao were, they thought that the county government would send people to escort the disaster relief troops everywhere they went, after all, with so much disaster relief money, safety was the most important.

In the morning, when it was eaten, it was served openly, and the sergeants were well fed, and they also ate meat.

As for the displaced people and disaster victims who followed behind, they didn't feel anything abnormal, they rarely had direct contact with the sergeants, they were all separated by a distance, all the way, many displaced people were resettled on the spot, and it was no surprise that they would also be temporarily resettled in Xinxiang County.

Although he didn't rest well, Su Tiancheng was still very vigilant, he was about to face many bandits, although he felt that he was winning, but he still couldn't be negligent, if there was a problem in any link, he would encounter a big problem.

Wang Dazhi beside him was even more nervous, this time it was extraordinary, two thousand soldiers faced five thousand bandits, there was a huge gap in the number of people, in his opinion, silver is secondary, the focus is to protect the safety of the young master, there can be no slightest problem, when necessary, fight for his own life, are at all costs.
