It is said that the Qing prefect for three years, 100,000 snowflakes of silver, it is really not a lie, in the handle was taken by Hongqing, and was forced to be pressed by his own chief official Liangzhu, in just half a month, more than 100 officials of the Hecao Yamen really made up more than 1 million taels of silver, as for the difference of more than 300,000 taels, they were also signed by the relevant responsible persons again, and signed a repayment plan. On June 13th, Hongqing's debt settlement work was a victory, and he was sent to Beijing in a hurry with two chapters, and the old man was deeply commended, and the good student praised Hongqing, not only allowed Hongqing to play everything, but also rewarded a pair of dazzling eyes, and ordered the fourth master who was ordered to pay off the debt to speed up the preparation progress, and forced the fourth master to almost make a big mess.

The messenger can be done so smoothly, Hongqing is very happy, not to be excited by the reward of the dazzling eyes, but with this example of paying off the debt, the fourth master is going to be anxious, as long as the fourth master is in a mess, the debt in the Beijing division will inevitably cause a big mess, really at that time, the fourth master's ability to do things may have to be seriously doubted by the old man, besides, Hongqing was not worried that the fourth master could succeed, after all, the Beijing master is not as deep as the river Cao Yamen, and the water is terrifying. Don't you see a group of people who dare to play the trick of forcing the palace, the people who pay off this debt are all powerful, and the fun behind is definitely not small.

How will the fourth master do his errand? Hey, Hongqing's resolute and resolute debt clearance has become a precedent, although the fourth master may be able to see that this is a pit, but in order to do a bad job, he also has to jump down, there is no other, taking the handle to force people to comply is undoubtedly the fastest way to pay off the debt, in order not to be compared with Hongqing, the fourth master in addition to using the strong, I am afraid that there is no other way to make it, and once the use of strong, it may be effective at the beginning, but in the future, under the accumulation of resentment, it is inevitable to stage the previous drama of forcing the palace again, really at that time, But it's the turn of the successful third master to return to Beijing to clean up the mess, so compared with the two, the third master can't obviously overpower the fourth master, and this is the short-term goal that Hongqing wants to achieve, of course, this is all a later story, whether you can really follow this script, you have to walk and see to see.

The affairs in the capital, Hongqing can't care about it at this time, and he doesn't bother to pay attention to it, there are fifteen brothers staring there, there is something going on, Hongqing can know it at the first time, and he doesn't need to spend too much thought, but the third master has repeatedly sent letters to urge, but Hongqing doesn't dare to be careless - the third master's life is very difficult, not for anything else, just because Henan is a place of extreme banditry, and the people's customs are not under Shandong, even if the third master arrived in Luoyang, he has already started to start disaster relief, However, Henan is a poor province, its own grain storage is very tight, this is only a few days after the opening of the warehouse to release grain, the granaries have been in an emergency, and the grain mobilized from the two lakes is long overdue because of the flood, although it has begun to allocate to the provinces in the disaster area, but it seems to be quite late, there are looting incidents in various places, signs of civil unrest have appeared, and the old man originally promised to rebuild the million taels of reconstruction funds has not arrived, the third master is overstretched, and he is looking forward to Hongqing here to put out the million taels of silver to go to the pot.

No way, the third master is in a hurry, the Yellow River burst is not blocked, the process of disaster relief will be difficult to carry out smoothly, once there is really a large-scale civil uprising, the third master is afraid that he will have to sit on the crater, how can he not be anxious, this successive letters urged, Hongqing is not good to move more in Jining City, on June 14, under the "warm" farewell of a group of Hecao yamen, led more than 150 palace guards and temporarily mobilized 300 green battalion troops, escorted a million taels of silver, and rushed to Heze along the official road, At the same time, the third master also led the chief officer of a province in Henan to Kaifeng, intending to meet in Kaifeng and set up a disaster relief command center.

Lanyi, belonging to Kaifeng, the original official road between the two is connected, but at this time the water retreated slightly, the road is still flooded, impassable, rushed to Lanyi Hongqing had to lead the crowd to take the mountain road, detour to Kaifeng, along the way encountered a large number of disaster victims, fortunately there is a large team of people and horses escorted, but there is no major incident, arrived at Baliwan Town on June 28, after turning over a few mountains can go straight to Kaifeng City, the team that rushed for nearly half a month in a row has been extremely tired, had to temporarily stop.

Tired, really tired, Hongqing has never walked such a difficult road in his two lives combined, hundreds of miles of mountain roads are about to come down, his back hurts, he saw the wall of the town from afar, his legs and feet were so sore that he almost collapsed to the ground, if he didn't care about the image problem, he really wanted to shout a few long live.

"Go to someone, open the door to Ben Beizi!"

Long live can't shout, but a few hoops are always okay, seeing that the door of the town village more than 100 zhang away is closed, Hongqing suddenly became a little impatient, no side, at this time Hongqing thought that he could take a hot bath, and sleep comfortably on the bed, this kind of closed door is not what Hongqing is happy to see.

"Wow!"

Hongqing had already given the order, and one of the palace guards hurriedly answered, rushed to the gate of the village in great strides, and shouted towards the silent town: "Listen to the people inside, the officials and soldiers are here, you dare to close the door, open the door quickly!" ”

"Who? Poor shouting, howling! ”

As soon as the guard finished speaking, he saw a head pop out from behind the city plate, and before he could see what was going on, he opened his mouth and sprayed feces.

"Bastard, your official is here, dare to be rude, don't open the door again, be careful of your dog's head!"

The guards who went to call the door have always been rampant in the Beijing Division, even if they go out, they are all smiling faces wherever they go, and this time they were actually scolded by a country man, when even some of them couldn't pull their faces, they stared angrily, pressed the handle of the knife, and scolded angrily.

"Yo, it's really an official, yes, you always wait, the little one will call someone to open the door for you, wait!"

The man in the city was scolded, as if he had just seen the appearance of the guard, and replied with a smile, his head shrank, and he had disappeared behind the city dish.

"Enter town!"

Hongqing was tired and tired at this time, and when he saw that the door was open, he didn't think much about it, and gave the order straightforwardly.

"Slow!"

Under Hongqing's order, a group of soldiers did not dare to slack off, and the team was about to walk to the town, but at this moment, Li Minxing suddenly flashed out from the side, blocking Hongqing's way.

"Huh?"

Seeing Li Minxing behaving like this, Hongqing couldn't help but be stunned, looked at Li Minxing suspiciously, and whispered with doubt.

"Little prince, something is wrong, there may be an ambush in the town!"

Li Minxing did not rush to answer Hongqing's doubts, but looked at the empty walled gate, and then explained with a cautious expression.

"Ambush?"

Along the way, although I have seen a lot of victims gathered together, I really haven't seen a large number of bandits, and when I heard that there was an ambush in the town, Hongqing couldn't help but be surprised.

"Little Wang Ye Mingjian, I waited for ten miles away from the layman, I didn't see half a figure, it was already a strange thing, now, the rice in the field here is ripe but no one harvests, it is obvious that the situation is different, there is a faint murderous aura circulating in a certain town, there must be a thief lurking in it!"

Li Minxing is a person who has been walking the rivers and lakes for a long time, although he is not very old, but he has made a lot of fame, and he has a lot of experience in the rivers and lakes.

"Withdraw!"

For Li Minxing's ability, Hongqing can trust himself, and when he hears his analysis at this time, he will not have any objections, and under the turn of his mind, he raised his hand and resolutely gave the order to retreat.

"Vacuum hometown, no biological mother! Vacuum hometown, no biological mother! ”

Hongqing's order was not untimely, but the thieves who gathered were obviously on guard, and without waiting for Hongqing and his party to make a move, they heard a frenzied slogan in the town, a large group of people came out of the wall, and countless rags of the victims brandished knives, guns and sticks from the swarthy gate of the village, at the same time, the slogans on the back road also sounded, and it was obvious that the back road of the official army was also cut off by the thieves.

"Damn, it's the White Lotus Sect bandits! Geng Sanbiao, after you take the green camp to break, the rest of the people will come with me, protect the little prince, rush to the mountain peak on the left, and kill it! ”

A group of officers and soldiers, whether it is the palace guards or the green battalion army led by Geng Sanbiao, have never seen a real battle, and they suddenly fell into the encirclement at this time, and they couldn't help but be a little panicked, or Li Minxing was vigilant, quickly observed the surroundings, and recognized that there were fewer defenders on the mountain peak on the left, and they didn't care about asking Hongqing, so they shouted orders one after another.

"The whole army listens to the order, retreats, forms a formation by the mountain, three rows of queues, and forms a formation!"

Geng Sanbiao was very courageous, but he was not afraid of the large number of thugs rushing around, he pulled out the big knife at his waist, shouted loudly, and pressed more than 300 officers and soldiers of the Green Battalion in three rows, swords and guns guarded the backs of the palace guards who rushed towards the mountain peak.

"Li Shun, Wang Kai, Zhang Miao, and Er protect the little prince, and the rest of the people come with me and go up the mountain!"

Seeing that Geng Sanbiao had already dispatched his men to the battle, Li Minxing was a lot relieved, and after hurriedly giving an order, he led more than 100 palace guards with high martial arts to run wildly, and launched a fierce rush to the mountain peak on the left, at the same time, the bandits who emerged from the top of the mountain also roared and threw wooden rolling stones at the foot of the mountain, and the entire battlefield was suddenly chaotic.
