Du Shi Niang was quickly found by Mei'er, and after entering the house, she first gave Ying Ying a salute and said, "I don't know what the master told Shi Niang to do." ”

"Shi Niang, you sit first. There is nothing important, today I and the officials under my rule and the local wealthy families are raising money for the front, everyone has money to contribute, as the head of the Tongren officials, I can't stand idly by, but I really have no money to donate. When I was embarrassed, I remembered that when I entered Beijing after the New Year, a friend gave me a jade pendant and planned to donate it. I don't know how much it is worth, so I specially ask Shi Niang to help me take a look. After speaking, Yue Su took out the jade pendant from his arms.

"The lord is as clear as water, as bright as a mirror, this is already the biggest donation to Guizhou, if the officials in the world can be the same as the lord, why worry about the world is not peaceful." Du Shi Niang said and took the jade pendant from Yue Su's hand.

Ruan Aoyue also leaned over curiously, wanting to see what this jade pendant was like and how much it was worth. In her heart, Yue Su is not much better than the ordinary people, even if a friend gives him a jade pendant, it is not a good product. People like their husbands, even if they make friends, they know at most people who are like-minded with them. Such as the golden cicada, the iron chopper and the like.

The jade pendant is crystal clear, the workmanship is exquisite, and the double dragon is engraved to grab the pearl. Du Siniang took a look, first stunned, and then looked carefully, and couldn't help but be surprised. "Sir...... Where did you get this jade pendant...... Where did the person who gave you a jade pendant come from......"

Yue Su didn't hide it, so he told him about the carpenter's work in the carpenter's stall in the capital and the little hairy head competition.

When Du Siniang heard this, she was even more shocked, and muttered: "This person is so generous, such a jade pendant can be easily given away......"

Ruan Aoyue didn't understand jade, it could be seen that Du Shi Niang's face was full of consternation, knowing that she was a knowledgeable person, and hurriedly asked: "Sister, what is so special about this jade pendant, is it so valuable to make you so surprised?" ”

"It's not only valuable, I saw a lot of jade back then, many of which are valuable, but this jade pendant of the lord is as good as those compared to those. This jade pendant is the finest Hetian jade, and its workmanship is also incomparable, even if ordinary craftsmen get this jade, they can't outline such a realm. Looking at the world, I think that only the Ouchi Emperor can compare with this jade pendant. Du Siniang said in amazement.

Ouchi Queen!

Yue Su was completely stupid, people casually gave him a piece of jade pendant, and it could be compared with the Ouchi Emperor's use, how much was it worth!

At this time, I heard Du Siniang say: "Master, the young man you met is definitely not the son of an ordinary family, and his family background is not that of a prince. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the boy to give this thing as a child's play. ”

"You're right." Yue Su couldn't help but recall the scene at that time, there was a middle-aged man next to the young man, and the middle-aged man's voice was very sharp, a little neither male nor female. At that time, Yue Su didn't care, after all, he had lived two lives, and he had seen some non-mainstream men in his previous life, and the voice of men speaking was yin and yang.

And at this moment, he immediately remembered the sentence "There are many eunuchs in Yanjing City".

"The young man seems to have a eunuch with him." Yue Su couldn't help but say.

"Eunuch!" Ruan Aoyue and Du Shi Niang's eyes widened, and they looked at Yue Su together.

"Are you sure it's a eunuch?" Ruan Aoyue asked loudly.

"Not really, but it's like." Yue Su said.

"That's it, I don't know if you did meet a big man, and I don't know if that young man is a dragon son and a dragon grandson." Ruan Aoyue laughed.

Du Siniang nodded solemnly and said: "Master, this jade pendant, you should keep it properly, don't take it out and donate it, it will come in handy in the future." After speaking, she stuffed the jade pei back into Yue Su's hand.

Ruan Aoyue also nodded and said, "Sister, what she said is right, I may be able to use it in the future." If such a big baby is donated, it will cause an uproar. ”

Knowing the origin of the jade pendant, of course Yue Su couldn't think about donating it anymore, so he was careful to put it away. said: "Jade pendant can't be donated, so what should I donate?" ”

"Didn't my sister say it just now, as long as you are honest and make decisions for the people, this is the best donation. Looking at the world, there are still a few officials like you, don't worry about this matter anymore. Ruan Aoyue said righteously.

Her words aroused the agreement of Du Siniang and Mei'er, and the two women nodded together. Especially Mei'er, she has always been dissatisfied with Yue Su's too incorruptible, and she is also Mrs.'s personal maid, how can she go down to the kitchen after passing the door, and now her hands are rough. If it weren't for the fact that Tie Qi often came to help, no one would be busy.

************************************************

Ten days later, the men and horses sent to Songtao and Yinjiang returned one after another. On the Songtao side, a large number of gold, silver, and jewelry were copied from the mansions of the three masters of Songtao, with a total value of 90,000 taels. There were more than 600 people who were arrested and brought back to Sanfu, and these people almost filled the prison in Tongren Mansion.

On the side of the Yinjiang River, the wife of the mountain tiger voluntarily donated 18,000 taels of silver, and in Ma Han's mansion, a total of 4,000 taels of silver was copied. Through the amount of silver taels copied out, Yue Su concluded that Ma Han was not lying. The entire Tongyin Mountain was sealed, and more than 800 miners were captured, but the purple-faced man Cao Ge and the gang members of the Dragon Slaying Gang did not know where to go, and it seemed that they had fled first. All the head arresters and errand servants in Yinjiang County were arrested, and many people who confessed to being involved in the case accepted bribes, and all public servants who had positions in Yinjiang County, whether they were county magistrates, county officials, or chief bookkeepers.

Within one day, Yue Su convicted all the prisoners, imprisoned those who should be imprisoned, exiled those who should be exiled, confiscated the army who should be confiscated, and those who should be killed submitted to the governor's yamen and transferred to the criminal department. As for the officials of the two counties, this is not a matter for Yue Su, and it must be transferred by the governor's yamen to the ministry for selection.

After finishing these, the grain and straw in Huguang have arrived, and the price of grain at that time was one stone and one tael of silver, and 30,000 stone is 30,000 taels.

30,000 taels of silver and 30,000 stone of grain were all loaded, Yue Su found Tongren to garrison the cattle dry, agreed to set off after two days, and went to Guiyang. Because of the importance of the matter, Yue Su had to go in person, even Niu Gan. The prefect's yamen sent out 100 errands, and the garrison yamen sent out 2,000 soldiers, bringing golden cicadas, iron choppers, and Yin Zhu, leaving Tong Xuan on duty in the government office. Before leaving, the county lord Mu Tianjiao personally went to the house to see him off, and Li Qiongying, Ruan Aoyue, and Du Shi Niang were naturally indispensable. Li Qiongying originally planned to go with her, but Yue Su said that this time it was not a tour of the mountains and rivers, and the former enemy was dangerous, so she was not allowed to go with her. Li Qiongying saw Yue Su's resolute attitude, so she had no choice but to give up and stay in the mansion to wait.

Du Shi Niang was holding a cloak in her hand, and Ying Ying came to Yue Su, "Master, this is what I sewed with my own hands, it is now autumn, the road is far away, and I am afraid that it will be winter, you put it away and wear it on the road." ”

Yue Su looked at the brand-new cloak, and couldn't help but be moved in his heart, and after taking it, he asked people to put it in the gift box.

At this time, Mei'er also walked over shyly, holding a black robe in her hand, ran to Tie Qiu, and said embarrassedly: "This ...... This is for you......" After speaking, his face turned red, and he shoved it into Tie Qiu's hand, then turned around and ran.

"Thank you......" Tie Qiu held it in one hand, looked at Mei'er's back, and scratched his head. His actions made Jin Chan and others laugh.

Mu Tianjiao and Ruan Aoyue both said some words to take care of themselves on the road, and sent each other out of the city gate before saying goodbye to each other.

Tongren and Guiyang are thousands of miles apart, there is no highway at this time, the road is rugged, and with so much food, it is really difficult to walk, a day is only sixty miles, this is still Yue Su forcibly requested, otherwise these days can go down more than forty miles is good.

This time, the army marched to Longquan County.

Longquan County is not under the rule of Yue Su, under the jurisdiction of Shiqian Prefecture, Yue Su is in a hurry, people and horses around the official road, do not plan to enter the city. When he was still eight miles away from the city, he suddenly saw two servants coming from a distance.

When the two errand officers passed through the double fork in the road, they were about to turn right, probably seeing Yue Su's team, and turned around and rushed towards Yue Su's side.

Yue Su and Niu Qian walked in the front, and the two messengers came closer, and before Yue Su's people rushed up to stop them, they had already jumped off the horse, knelt on the ground and said goodbye, and then snorted and said, "Great, great...... Big things are not good...... Help......"

"Which yamen are you, what happened, and why are you in such a hurry? Take your time. Yue Su said in a deep voice.

"The small one is the errand of the Longquan County Ya, and now the Diao people in the county suddenly rebelled and gathered people to besiege the county Ya, and we are about to be unable to resist it. The county commander asked the two of us to quickly ask for help, and I happened to meet the adult, and saw that there were many people on the adult's side, so I came to beg for help. I hope that the adults will help you for the sake of being an official in a province. "The errand officer knows the complement on the official uniform, and knows that the person who is questioning in front of him is the prefect, and it is definitely not from Shiqian Mansion. Since he is an adult in Beppu, it is a love for people to help, and it is also his duty not to help, and he may not be able to do his best to ask for a few words from a small errand officer.

"There is such a thing, this matter is not touched by the government, so forget it, since it has caught up, how can there be any reason not to help." Yue Su was about to order troops to come to the rescue, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was inappropriate. I am now burdened with a heavy responsibility, and the boundaries of Guizhou are not very peaceful, what if it is the bandit and the grass coward who makes the tiger move away from the mountain? Once the military rations are lost, he is a sinner.

So, Yue Su asked again: "There is a patrol yamen in the county, with thousands of soldiers in charge, and the rebellion of the people is not suppressed, can't it be suppressed?" ”

"Lord Hui, the inspection yamen has long been surrounded, the troops can't be assembled at all, and the inspection master himself is still trapped in the yamen. It's just that those Diao people don't have the intention of attacking the inspection yamen, and most of them are besieging the county yamen. The officer replied truthfully.

"Since it is a rebellion, why don't you attack the inspection yamen and grab the ordnance, but insist on attacking the county yamen?" Yue Su said suspiciously.

"This ......," the messenger didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Say!" Yue Su raised his horsewhip and scolded loudly. "This government was ordered to escort the military rations to Guiyang, and the others could be that the grass coars pretended to be errand soldiers to warn, and wanted to divert the tiger from the mountain and seize the military rations!"

"Your Excellency...... Don't think like that......" As soon as he heard Yue Su put this hat on him, the errand officer was so frightened that he almost collapsed on the ground. Honestly: "Listen to me, that's the case......"

The officers did not dare to conceal it, and truthfully told the whole story of the people in the county attacking the county seat.

Like Yuesu's Tongren Mansion, Shiqian Mansion also received a letter from the governor's yamen, ordering it to raise 30,000 taels of silver and 30,000 stone of grain. The government of Shiqian Mansion is also not rich, where to get so much, but for the sake of black yarn, it has to be forcibly apportioned to the counties under its rule.

The following county orders can only be apportioned to the people and forcibly levied from house to house. Longquan County is a poor county, the people are not rich, and they usually have no surplus food. Seeing that there was no way to live, many people rebelled with the surname Suo, and first surrounded the inspection yamen, so that the inspection could not transfer troops, and the others gathered together and forcibly besieged the county yamen. There were several thousand people making trouble, and the officers and soldiers living in the city did not dare to go out when they saw this situation, so they honestly retreated at home and let the people make a fuss. Seeing that the situation was not good, the magistrate wanted to escape, but unfortunately he was blocked, so he had to let the two clever messengers escape and ask for help. Coincidentally, as soon as these two escaped from the city gate, they saw Yue Su's team, and they all rushed over to ask for help.

After listening to his story, Yue Su whipped the leather whip to the ground, which frightened the officers in front of him, and he couldn't help but shudder, but Yue Su's whip was not intended to whip him.

"The government forced the people to rebel! This is the official coercion and the people's rebellion! Yue Su shouted fiercely, and then said: "Lord Niu, you lead the army to camp on the spot, and I will take three hundred people over to have a look!" ”
