But this is not a peaceful period, but a period of unrest in the world when thieves are rampant. The influence of the three elders, Litian, Xiaoyi, etc. is much weaker, and sufficient troops are the guarantee of survival in troubled times!

Besides, Wen Chou has been working with Jiang Gong and others in Hongxiang for the past few days, knowing who he is, he will not care about such a lock matter. In addition, now that the war has just passed, it is time to visit the families of the villagers who have made great sacrifices to protect the interests of the township!

Otherwise, who will die for you?

It was the old Wenchou who chose to visit the families of the villagers who were killed and injured first to show his favor.

Soon after the king of the village rushed to the house, he took out five bamboo slips and said: "Most of the dead and seriously injured are because of the battle in which the villagers were besieged!" Therefore, most of them are the villagers of Beisiting and the part of the displaced people who received it at the beginning. A total of 158 were killed in battle, and 61 were seriously wounded and out of labor. ”

"Well, are their names, places of origin, family status, etc., recorded in this?" Wen Chou pointed to the four rolls of bamboo slips and said.

"Only the name and place of origin are recorded." Xiangzuo Wang Chong bowed his head and said.

"In this case, you go and find a villager, I have something to explain." Wen Chou took a roll of bamboo slips, looked through one or two, frowned and said for a moment.

"Ah Er, come here, Wen Jun has a call." Wang Chong did not return to the courtyard, so he stood at the door and shouted to the courtyard.

"Well, here it is." A voice came. After a while, a young man dressed in a pawn suit, quite capable, with a clever energy in his eyes, ran out, and kept rubbing his hands on the pawn clothes as he ran, obviously just after the water. It turned out that he had gotten up early to fetch water and wash the manger.

"Well, you go to Wen's Pavilion and call Yan Liang and them to come! Let them take 100,000 money from Uncle Chen and bring it! Wen Chou looked at this clever guy and said.

"One hundred thousand dollars! Wen Jun, I will pass the word, Yan Jun, can they believe it? The boy asked, rolling his eyes.

"It's okay, Yan Jun won't be embarrassed by you." Wen Chou laughed.

"Wen Jun took this 100,000 yuan to ......," Wang Chong said in surprise.

"Who is this young man? Quite shrewd and diligent. Wen Chou looked at the villager who was already trotting up, and did not answer what Wang Chong said, but asked.

"Which is the person from Nating, who came here with a wave of homeless people last year, without a father or mother, Du Gong saw his cleverness and left him behind and became a pawn." Wang Chongyan said. Seeing that Wen Chou didn't want to speak, he didn't dare to ask more.

"So, is he going to follow Duke Du to Luancheng, or will he stay here?" Wen Chou said casually.

"No, Du Gong has no intention of taking him away!" Wang Chong followed Wen Chou's words.

"Don't wait here, let's go inside!" Wen Chou stood outside the courtyard for a long time, and he was also a little tired, and then said.

"Wenjun, when do you think the rewards from these other counties will arrive?" Wang Chong finally didn't come out of the 100,000 yuan that Wen Chouyan said, blinked his small eyes, and asked excitedly.

"Didn't Duke Du say that it would be there in mid-April, and besides, wasn't there a county official who came with Duke Du? Where did he stay last night? Wen Chou suddenly thought.

"Oh, the county official you are talking about, next to the Du Gong's house." Wang Chong muttered again: "I'm afraid I haven't woken up yet!" ”

"He is a county official, naturally not something we can compare, he may still have something to arrange, otherwise Xiangguo would not let him come with Du Gong." Wen Chou pondered.

"I heard that it is necessary to count the detailed merits of each person, and the county is listed in the table...... I don't know the specifics. Wang Chong said.

"That's it, that's it, if Duke Du wakes up and wants to go to Luancheng County to take up his post, if I haven't come back in time, I'll sue for me, I can't send Duke Du off in person, if the county official really has something important, you can send the townsman to find me in the pavilion." Wen Chou softened his temples. I thought to myself: "The lord of this township is really not so easy to be, everything is cumbersome. ”

"Definitely, definitely." Wang Chong nodded.

After chatting like this for about a quarter of an hour, the sound of horses' hooves came from outside the courtyard, and Wen Chou knew that it was Yan Liang and Liu Zhong who had arrived. I hurriedly went out to greet him.

"By the way, also, Qin Jun has rushed to the county to make a crime for Du Gong for him, um." When Wen Chou was about to leave the hospital, he turned to the king of Xiangzuo, who followed him to the gate of the hospital.

Yan Liang and the others were riding horses slowly to the gate of the official temple, and they saw Wen Chou leading a horse out. Many of them were injured, and although their injuries were now stable and improved, they did not prevent them from riding horses, but most of the time they were only slow.

"Wen Jun called me to come and take another 100,000 yuan, what is the matter?" Liu Zhong was the first to ask.

"Do you still remember, Jiang Jun and Xiao Wujun?" Wen Chou signaled that everyone didn't have to dismount, and said in a condensed voice. Then he turned over and got the horse.

"Of course I remember, the two of them, real men!" Yan Liang immediately said aloud. The others also chimed in.

"I want to visit their families, because we have lived and died together, so I called you to come and go together." Wen Chou said in a deep voice.

"As it should be!"

"I've wanted to visit them for a long time."

"In that case, let's go." Wen Chou beats the horse and walks in front of the road. Others followed.

Jiang Ming is a native of Donglinting, and he has an old mother who is sixty years old, and a younger brother who is still young! Now that he is dead, although he has received more than 10,000 pensions, his life is still inconvenient.

Donglin Pavilion is one of the four pavilions in the north of Shahe Township, the north four pavilions refer to the Wen Pavilion, Donglin Pavilion, Yangli Pavilion, Xilin Pavilion, and another twenty knights who died in battle Xiao Wu is a person from Yangli Pavilion, whose family is slightly better than Jiang Ming's family, in addition to the elderly parents, there is also an elder brother who supports the beams of the family! In addition, there is a posthumous child. But it is much luckier than Jiang Ming.

Wen Chou and the others rode their horses and rushed to Jiang Ming's house in Donglin Pavilion, which was relatively close.

When the reward was distributed yesterday, the news that Wen Chou was appointed as a local township has spread throughout Shahe Township! The day has dawned, and the hard-working and simple villagers get up early, pack up farm tools, and prepare for the annual spring busy. Now they are riding in a group of eighteen horses, slowly walking on the road in the township, which inevitably caused discussions along the way.

"Wen Jun, it's really ranked!"

"That's, don't you look at the seal on Wen Jun's waist!"

"I have known for a long time that 'Xiaozaburo' is a hero and a hero!"

"Aren't they all from the 'Eighteen Horsemen'?"

"yes, where are they going?"

"It looks like I'm heading in the direction of Donglin Pavilion!"

"Donglin Pavilion? Where to go and what? ”

……

Not to mention how the people in the township discuss the ugliness of the text, in fact, it is nothing more than praising the ugliness and wisdom of the people, and Yan Liang and their bravery.

"Get off the horse, many villagers in Lizhong, don't startle the horse!" The group walked to the inner gate of Jiang Ming's residence and got off the road.

"No!" The crowd dismounted.

In the prison gate, I have seen such a battle there, eighteen healthy horses, fat and strong, and at a glance, I know that they are rare and well-bred war horses!

Hurriedly opened the door and greeted him: "I don't know why the noble man came to me?" ”

"Jiang Ming, Jiang Jun is a person from you?" Wen Chou asked.

"Oh, you're here to find Jiang Ming, it's a pity, it is said that he died in the thief's den a few days ago, alas, what a baby." The prison door said regretfully.

"We are not looking for Jiang Ming, we are here to visit his family, is his family all right?" Wen Chou said hurriedly.

"Could it be that you are the 'Eighteen Horsemen' that Jiang Ming has rumored these days?" The prison gate looked at the number of people and said in surprise.

"Exactly!" Wen Chou said with a temperament.

"Oh, oh, let's go in, in the middle of the inside, the second alley turns left and the last house is his house." The prison door pointed at Rinne and said.

"Thank you, my husband for your advice." Wen Chou bowed and led the horse to the inside. Yan Liang, Liu Zhong and others followed, and the originally short-tempered people were also patient with their own temperament and tried their best to be polite.

"Alas, good man! are all good people, I heard that Ming Wazi also went deep into the thief's den with these people, so I didn't believe it, so Ming Wazi's slug dared to break into the thief's den? It seems to be true! There is a chance! I had the style of the past! The prison door muttered as he touched the trouser tube of an empty leg.

Wen Chou, Yan Liang and others followed the path pointed out by the inner prison gate, and walked all the way to a somewhat simple courtyard, only to see that there were three earthen houses, and there were fence walls outside, and all kinds of vegetables were planted in the courtyard. It's simple, but it's clean and refreshing. It can be seen that Jiang's mother is a simple and thrifty person.
