Dealing with the patrol envoy and the city guard, He Ran couldn't bear the pain in his back, and ordered the guards to help him into the arrow tower next to him.

Mingqin Chaduo saw that his aching forehead was full of beads of sweat, and couldn't help crying again,

He Ran wanted to raise his hand to comb her messy sideburns, but his arm was halfway up and pulled the wound, he grinned and put his hand down, and said with a forced smile: "This little injury is good for a few days, but it just scares you, I didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing, I didn't know I would bring you here." ”

Mingqin Chaduo choked up: "Saying this, I'm just a little frightened, you ...... Does it really matter if you hurt? ”

"It's okay, you see that the military doctor is not nervous, just put on some hemostatic powder."

Mingqin Chaduo grabbed his hand, looked at him with teary eyes and said, "I was really scared to death just now, but it should be difficult to survive anymore." Saying that, she couldn't help but throw herself into He Ran's arms, crying and saying, "I haven't lived long enough, and I don't want to be separated from you......"

Mingqin Chaduo's mind was fixed for a while, He Ran heard the noise coming from the city, and there were more than a thousand people listening to the sound, and he couldn't help frowning slightly,

Zhong Zheng came in and reported: "The people gathered in the city and clamored to see the military advisor. ”

"Help me up." He Ran frowned and said,

"You'd better not move." Mingqin Chaduo said distressedly,

He Ran smiled bitterly and said: "I have to go, if I let go of the slaughter of the city before, the people will be terrified in their hearts, and it will be difficult to calm their hearts if I don't show my face now, if the people are in turmoil due to fear, it will be out of control." ”

Before coming to the battlement, He Ran motioned to Zhong Zheng to let go of the hand he was supporting, he leaned over and looked down, there were two thousand people gathered in the black, and Zhong Zheng raised his voice: "The military advisor is here." ”

The commotion below stopped immediately, and they bowed down and worshipped, He Ran relieved his heart when he saw this,

There were two old men standing in front of the crowd, and after giving a salute, one of them stepped forward and said in a loud voice: "Zou Ji, the grass people, I want to invite the military division on behalf of my father, and I hope that the military teacher will be gentle." ”

He Ran nodded with a smile, and reluctantly said, "Say it." Because of the injury in his back, the loud shout shook the wound, and the corners of his mouth twitched,

Zou Ji pointed to the dozen or so people who were tied up behind him, and said loudly: "These are the people who just watched the military division in distress, they don't distinguish between right and wrong, and they failed to rescue in time at the critical moment, and the people have spontaneously captured them, and asked the military division to deal with them, hoping that the military division will understand the innocence of the people and avoid the crime of weaving the city." ”

He Ran was just about to speak, a few hurried horns suddenly came out of the city, he turned around and looked, only to see the dust in the distance, thinking that it was the reinforcements sent by Xizhicheng who came.

At this time, the city and the city were waiting for the military advisor to speak, so there was silence, and the people in the city also heard these horns, and everyone immediately became chaotic, everyone's face was like earth, and some people even began to shout, "The army is coming, and the city is going to be slaughtered." Then many people began to turn and run,

Seeing that the chaos was about to start, He Ran didn't care about the pain, he straightened his arms and raised his palms to make a gesture of calmness, and no one could hear the shouting clearly, he could only endure the pain and maintain this posture so that more people could see it,

Some people who noticed the gesture of the military advisor helped the two old men shout and restrain everyone, and Mingqin Chaduo, who was standing behind He Ran, saw that the clothes on his back had soaked a large patch of blood, and he cried with his anxious hand: "Don't quarrel, don't quarrel." ”

When the people gradually calmed down, He Ran was already covered in cold sweat from pain.

After his arms hung down weakly, he said in a loud voice: "Don't panic, fathers and elders, the soldiers and horses outside the city are here to eradicate the soldiers and bandits of Dongzhicheng, and they are by no means to slaughter the city. ”

When everyone heard the rumors, there was another commotion, some were relieved, and more were half-convinced.

Fu Xi, the left courtyard of the Supervision Division, shouted: "Quiet, after listening to the military division, the military division is the minister in charge, and he will follow his orders, so why be suspicious, if you really want to slaughter the city, why should the military division bother with you." ”

Now the people are completely quiet,

He Ran spoke again: "The officials of Dongzhicheng have become a trend, and the military attache must also be thoroughly investigated, the city defense is temporarily taken over by soldiers and horses from other places, and the matter has nothing to do with the people, please live your life with peace of mind, from tomorrow, those who have been wronged can come to the government to redress their grievances, and the adults of the Criminal Department and the Supervision Department will be tried together in the same hall, and those who expose and report the evil deeds of officials will be rewarded." ”

Most of the people now believed, and excitedly proclaimed,

He Ran was so painful that he didn't dare to shout anymore, and said to the waiter of the Criminal Department: "Tell them that those bound onlookers don't know the inside story, and they are threatened by officials, and they can't help each other. ”

After the salt shouted, the people cheered again, and then gradually dispersed reluctantly, and many people looked back while walking, in order to have a more glimpse of the military division.

At this time, the soldiers and horses outside had arrived, and when they heard that the military division was in distress, the city guard of Xizhi City and the city jurisdiction personally led the troops, and the two of them came to the city still panting.

He Ran instructed the city jurisdiction: "Immediately take your people to take over the defense of the city, the original Dongzhi City guards are temporarily stationed outside the city, and the military attachés above the level are all under the supervision of the people waiting for trial, remember not to disturb the people." ”

After the city jurisdiction received the order to go, He Ran said to Guo Yue, the guard of Xiweaving City: "I have to thank you, bring so many soldiers and horses, there will be no chaos on your side." ”

Guo Yue replied confidently: "Although the military advisor is relaxed, the lower officials dare to guarantee with their heads that nothing will happen to Xizhicheng, and the people deeply feel the grace of the new policy, and they are all at ease, and the public security no longer needs to be maintained by the government, unlike here." ”

He Ran looked at him and said, "It seems that you are well aware of the shady scenes of Dongzhi City, why don't you see the impeachment in the book." ”

Guo Yue's face was ashamed and said: "The lower official is a subordinate, the people of Mengxi weaving do not give up, the court is gracious, and still let me do this Xiweaving city guard, the lower official is afraid of only doing his duty, and the matter related to the east weaving has been briefly mentioned with the Zhongzhou Inspector An Daren, and he will not dare to say it, let alone impeachment in the book, the lower official knows that he has the responsibility of failing to admonish, and he asks the military advisor to punish him." ”

He Ran smiled and said: "I have learned a little about the situation in Xizhicheng, you have done your duty to benefit the people under your rule, and it is understandable to lose advice, so I will not pursue it, you will take charge of Dongzhicheng first, and then go back when you are stable, then take over, you need competent manpower Although it is transferred from Xizhicheng, there is no need to report it." ”

Guo Yue led the order to go, and soon after, reinforcements from two cities arrived, and He Ran ordered the Left Courtyard of the Supervision Division to send them back.

After waiting for less than half an hour, the jurisdiction of Xizhi City sent someone to report that all the defense affairs in the city had been taken over, and Guo Yue also arranged the mansion at this time to invite the military division to rest.

He Ran just wanted to go down to the city, and his own soldiers came to report that countless people with axes and sticks poured around the city.

Soon, the people sent out reported: These are the people of the nearby city, who heard that the military division was in distress in Dongzhi City, and spontaneously organized to come to the rescue.

He Ran was moved for a while, and hurriedly sent a group of officials out of the four doors to explain the situation to the people, telling them that they were injured and inconvenient to thank them in person.

As soon as he came to the mansion and settled down, several officials who went out of the city to explain to the people ran back with bitter faces, they encountered the same situation, the people did not see the military division insisted on not believing their words, only the people from Xizhi City outside the West City went back under the persuasion of Guo Yue and others, but the people from other cities were still coming, gathering more and more, and had begun to quarrel with the guards of the city,

He Ran was moved and secretly complained about his suffering, so he had to change into the military division uniform, endure the pain and sit in a sedan chair to go out of the city in person.

The righteous deeds of the surrounding people made the people of Dongzhicheng very ashamed, especially those who had watched the military division in distress, two strong-blooded people committed suicide because they couldn't stand the cold words of others.

Wanting to congratulate Ran to death, Tsui Huang and Ji Jia were captured in the nearby city one after another, and were killed by the people before they could be escorted back.

Under the joint efforts of the Supervision Department and the Criminal Department, the nest case of Dongzhicheng soon had an eyebrow, and there was hardly a clean official found in the whole city, in addition to the case of Bai Da Bai Er, there were five other murder cases that were found to be unjust, and the head of the Criminal Department in charge of this affairs Yang Huai was traced up, this Yang Huai was the henchman Su Ge that He Ran said earlier, and the bribes he received in Dongzhicheng were verified to be nearly 10,000 taels,

Although He Ran's injury was not very serious, it was not advisable to travel far before the wound healed, he planned to only delay in Dongzhi City for three or five days, but this time he had to stay, he began to want to make up a lie to coax Su Xiyao and others, but thinking that he had made up too many nonsense about them recently, he sent someone back to tell the truth,

This time it's terrible, because he has no integrity in front of everyone, although this time although everyone didn't believe the truth, guessing that his injury is bound to be several times heavier, it is Su Xiyao and others who rushed to Dongzhicheng on the same day without saying a word, Su Pingjiang saw that the military division was all dispatched, he also panicked, and even sent several ministers to Dongzhicheng to visit the injury, and finally couldn't rest assured, and set off on the second day,

He Ran, who was going to recuperate with peace of mind, saw the visits of several groups of ministers sent by Su Pingjiang on this day, and heard that the eldest princess and others were about to enter the city, which really made him cry and laugh.

Su Xiyao and the others were relieved to see that his injury was really fine as he said,

He Ran smiled bitterly: "You are forcing me to talk nonsense in the future, it's easy to tell the truth once and cause such a big mess." ”

Mrs. Nuan Yu smiled and said, "It's not that you talk too much, who dares to believe you." ”

Yunshang interjected: "Don't just say it, send someone to deliver a letter to Sister Yin'er, she still has a heart hanging there." ”

As soon as someone was sent out here, before he left the city, he met Zhuyin who came in a hurry.

Seeing Zhuyin coming, everyone was stunned, and Su Xiyao asked in surprise: "Why did you come here with so many official duties, didn't you say that you couldn't come?" ”

Seeing that He Ran was really only injured by flesh and skin, Zhuyin was a little embarrassed, and glared at him shyly and angrily: "I told the truth this time, and I was ashamed." ”

Everyone covered their mouths and smiled, knowing that she was ultimately focused on her husband, and she was relieved to leave her official duties and work hard.

Mrs. Nuan Yu was afraid that she would be embarrassed, so she quipped: "It's hard to be ashamed of you, and I hope that he will not be able to get hurt." ”

Zhuyin giggled, "Exactly, I can't wait to stab him right now." ”
