Sending Guan Yu away, Yue Su invited Fang Cai'er to the hall to talk. Soon, Fang Cai'er went to the hall with the messenger, and as soon as she entered the door, she immediately knelt on the ground and rushed up to kowtow, "Thank you Lord Yue for avenging Daddy, please accept Fang Cai'er's worship." ”

Yue Su hurriedly said: "Fang Tusi, please get up quickly, how can this mansion afford such a big gift." It is the duty of the government to investigate the case, and there is no need to thank it. Come on, give Fang Tusi a seat. ”

"My lord's kindness, my village is unforgettable, if you are sent in the future, your lord will command." Fang Cai'er said that, then got up and sat down, and said again: "I don't know if the adults came to me and had any orders." ”

"There is nothing to do with looking for you to come over, now that the case has been revealed, Fang Tusi is not only guilty, but also detoxified the county lord and made great contributions. For this, I would like to thank you again. Fang Tusi has been away from the village for a long time, and there must be a lot of affairs to be handled in the village, if the government keeps it again, I am afraid that your village will not agree, so this time I invite Fang Tusi to come over, one is to thank you, and the other is to see off Fang Tusi. "The case has been revealed, Yue Su can't still detain the toast of the Miao Village, and in two days, the Miao Village will not come to rob the ghosts.

"Your Excellency, this is an obligatory matter. It's been a while since I left the village, and I should go back, but it's just ......" Fang Cai'er said this, and couldn't help but blush. She had sworn to Golden Arrow that whoever could avenge her father would marry. Now that Yue Su has cleared up the case, all the enemies have been caught, and they will definitely die. Thinking of her oath, how could her face not be red, although the Miao people were bold, but the love of children and the heart of the little girl's family could not be said directly. If Yue Su is the son of an ordinary family, it may not matter, but after all, she is a dignified Tongren prefect, will she look down on her, a Miao girl.

"Just what?" Yue Su asked suspiciously.

It's just that I have made an oath to the heavens, and whoever helps me avenge me, I will marry whomever I want.

This kind of thing, Fang Cai'er knows, and she must not say it at this time. She blushed, hesitated, and said, "Nothing more." ”

Yue Su was so shrewd, he could see at a glance that Fang Cai'er had something on his mind, although he had a big official position, it was inconvenient to ask about other people's private affairs. only said: "Then the house will send Fang Tusi ......"

As soon as the words came out, there was a messenger outside the door, "My lord, Mr. Li is out asking to see you." ”

Li Gongzi is Li Qiongying, she lives in the back house together, she is really boring, and when she inquires, she learned that Yue Su was handling an important case, and she really didn't have time to accompany him. Now I heard that the case had been cleared, so I hurried here.

"Hurry up and be affectionate."

After Yue Su finished speaking, Li Qiongying walked into the hall, she arched her hand at Yue Su, and said: "Brother Yue, I heard that you have been entangled in official business recently, so it has been inconvenient to disturb, now that the case has been closed, I want to have the kung fu to accompany the little brother." ”

"Brother Li, there have been many slacks these days, and I hope to forgive my sins. Come on, quickly show Brother Li a seat. Yue Su said with a smile. This little brother who got acquainted with Yu Buyi is righteous, Yue Su has always admired him very much, and he has saved himself once, and this kindness has not been repaid yet.

The errand servant took the chair, and Li Qiongying was not polite, and sat down. Fang Cai'er on the side felt that it was even more inconvenient to say more at the moment, so she got up to say goodbye, Yue Su sent her out of the second door, and an errand led Fang Cai'er's horse, and the two of them parted.

Returning to the back hall again, Yue Su sent the messenger away, leaving only him and Li Qiongying in the hall. Because there were no outsiders, Li Qiongying showed her naughty side and said with a hippie smile: "Brother Yue, I heard that you just finished trying a big case, this case must be very funny, but unfortunately I didn't participate." If there is such a case in the future, you must bring me with you to try it. ”

Yue Su smiled: "Okay, if there is another case like this, I will definitely call you." Having said that, Yue Su was thinking in his heart that it was better for this kind of case not to happen again.

"That counts." Li Qiongying smiled and said: "Brother Yue, I heard that there is even a master in the officialdom, and there are staff members above the prefect, you are now the master of the prefect, and there is no master under your hands, and there is no staff under you." Otherwise, I'll be your staff. ”

"You are my staff ......" Yue Su laughed and said, "I said brother, how can I afford to hire you, my year's income is not enough for your pocket money." "This is true, Li Qiongying is full of flowers and gold leaves when she goes out, and they are stacked, and Yue Su's little money in a year is not enough for the next restaurant. He still remembered that the meal he ate at the Beijing Hall cost nearly a hundred taels of silver at one time.

"It's not okay for my staff to be paid for nothing, give you a job for nothing, come up with ideas for nothing, what do you think?" Li Qiongying was naughty and authentic.

"This dare is good, I'm still worried about the reluctance to hire people, it's better to have you, the master who doesn't need money and throws himself into the net. But don't worry, I'll take care of the food. ”

"Just take care of the food." Li Qiongying said again: "Brother Yue, we have come to Tongren for a while, but we have never gone out for a walk, if you don't have any important business at hand now, let's go around under your rule." It is also a private visit to the micro-service to observe the people's feelings. ”

"This is a good idea, as the prefect of Tongren, I should really go down and take a look to see how the official voices of the county orders are and understand the people's feelings." Yue Su smiled: "Don't say it, you are really a piece of material to be a staff member." ”

"That's nature, who am I? Brother Yue, when do you say we're leaving? ”

Yue Su calculated, and when Jin Chan came back from Guiyang, it would take ten days and half a month, to say the least, and before the governor's reply came down, this period of time was relatively free. After all, very few of the people who complained directly to the prefect's yamen, there were magistrates and counties, and there were officials in the prefecture, and most of the files that came to him were concluded.

"Recently, we happened to be free, let's prepare, set off in the next two days, and go to Tongren counties to have a good turn."

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

Yue Su's decision, the family immediately got busy, and his wife was sure to tell him, Ruan Aoyue was very excited when she heard that she was going to go out for a private visit, and she was more energetic than Li Qiongying, so she changed into men's clothes on the same day and prepared to go.

Du Shi Niang is also in the back, Yue Su does not hide anything from her, this time is said to live in the prefect's yamen, although it is rare to meet, but I have heard a lot of Yue Su's deeds. I feel that there are still such officials in the world, who are as clear as water, as clear as a mirror, capable of doing things, and diligent in government affairs, so that she only regrets meeting late. On the one hand, she heard that Yue Su was going to pay a private visit to Weifu, and when she saw Ruan Aoyue's excitement, she wanted to follow from the bottom of her heart.

Ran Yue Su didn't say that he wanted to take her with her, and with her current status, it was always inconvenient to ask for help on her own, so she just bowed her head and said nothing.

Ruan Aoyue saw it in her heart, the two of them got along day and night, and deeply felt Du Shi Niang's virtuousness, don't see the dust, but behave decently, there is no Qinglou woman bewitching and foxy. At the moment, he deliberately said: "Shi Niang, we have been in Tongren for a while, and we can't always stay at home, this time my husband is going to go for a private visit, you can also go with you, take a look at the customs and customs of Tongren, and taste the local food." It can be said that Du Shi Niang's current identity is just a maid of the Yue family, but Ruan Aoyue has never treated her as a maid, and even regarded her as a sister. At this point, even her personal maid Lan'er was very jealous, and I don't know why the young lady valued this foreign woman so much. The two of them often talk without talking, they also eat at the same table, one plays the piano and the other sings every day, as if they have known each other in their previous lives.

Du Siniang still hung her head and said in a low voice: "Everything is up to the master." ”

Yue Su smiled and said: "Although this time it is to observe the people's feelings, you can also visit the mountains and rivers by the way, and it will be lively for everyone to go together." If it's too lonely to leave you alone at home, let's go together. ”

"Yes." Du Siniang groaned, and her face could not hide the joy in her heart.

"If Sister Shi Niang goes out like this, she will definitely dump all beings, how many men will be killed, and the return rate on the street must be high. Hehe......" Ruan Aoyue deliberately teased, and said: "People who don't know, I don't know the idea of coming up and beating my sister." ”

When Yue Su heard the word "return rate", he couldn't help but be stunned, this was the first time he had heard someone say it this year. I wondered in my heart, could it be that someone in the Ming Dynasty said that there was a return rate?

Du Siniang was full of shyness by what she said, and said: "My sister can make fun of people, then I won't go to ......" At the beginning, Du Siniang always called Ruan Aoyue Mrs., but Ruan Aoyue insisted that she change her title and only call her sister.

Ruan Aoyue saw that she couldn't make jokes, so she hurriedly stepped forward and hugged her, and said, "Good sister, I was just joking, you must not care, if you don't go, then I won't go, stay at home with my sister." ”

Du Shi Niang now knows Ruan Aoyue's surname, and knows that she loves to joke, is lively and active, but has a good heart. However, because she lives in Houjin, she also knows a little about the relationship between Yue Su and Ruan Aoyue, and she is particularly surprised, the two of them behave decently in front of outsiders, like husband and wife, but when there is no one, they really respect each other like guests, and they really treat each other as friends. I remember that one night, Du Siniang saw clearly that Yue Su was busy with official business, and when he came back, he actually washed his feet with water, what an incredible thing.

"I really can't help you, it's you who said I was going to go, and you were the one who said it was too ostentatious, so what did you let me do." Du Siniang said helplessly.

"I think ......." Ruan Aoyue said with a smile: "Otherwise, my sister is like me, disguised as a man, so it will be more convenient to go out." Seriously, I really want to see what my sister's men's clothes look like, and I guess I must be fascinated by thousands of girls. ”

"You......" Du Siniang deliberately pretended to be helpless, but the smile on her face betrayed her, who doesn't want others to praise her beauty. Although there were countless people praising herself on the Qinhuai River back then, she was extremely disdainful, and now for some reason, she really wanted to hear others praise her, especially in front of Yue Su.

"Sister, let's go to your room and let me help you get dressed. I also have a men's outfit here, you can try it and see if it fits. Ruan Aoyue pulled up Du Shi Niang, and the two of them went out together, leaving Yue Su alone in the house.

Yue Su didn't care, he packed his bags, and found Tie Qiu, asked him to prepare too, and set off with the same road tomorrow morning, and told him to order a few cronies and go with him.

In the early morning of the next day, everyone was assembled, Yue Su, Tie Qiu, Li Qiongying, Ruan Aoyue, Du Shi Niang, Mei Er, Lan Er, and the six messengers summoned by Tie Qiu, a total of thirteen people. This lineup is enough for group travel.

Tie Qiu and others are also in casual clothes, like bankers from rich families. The five women are all dressed in men's clothes, Li Qiongying, Ruan Aoyue, and Du Shiniang are the sons and brothers, and Mei'er and Lan'er are dressed as scholars, and they are all pretty. Yue Su saw them standing together and realized that something was wrong, why did Brother Li and his scholar look so similar to the three of Aoyue......

He didn't dare to think about it.

Yue Su originally planned to hire two mule carts, Ruan Aoyue, Du Shi Niang, and Lan'er took one, and Li Qiongying and Mei'er took one, but he didn't expect Aoyue and Li Qiongying to have to ride horses. When Yue Su heard this, he felt that it was better and saved money. Anyway, there are more than 20 horses in the yamen, which is enough for everyone to use.

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

Tongren Prefecture has four counties under its jurisdiction, namely Songtao, Yinjiang, Daxing and Dejiang. Gu Min, the county commander of Daxing County, and Yue Su have seen it, although the old guy is pedantic, he is an incorruptible official, so Daxing doesn't have to be in a hurry. He decided to go to Yinjiang County first.

Yinjiang is nearly 300 miles away from Tongren Mansion, it is quite far away, Guizhou in the Ming Dynasty is a barren land, the jurisdiction of each province is very large, but most of them are barren mountains and mountains, unlike the Central Plains, the distance between the capital city and the counties is much shorter.

Everyone didn't understand why Yue Su went to the farthest Yinjiang first, in fact, Yue Su had his reason, although the Yinjiang River was far away, it looked at the Dejiang River, and then went to the Dejiang River, and then reached Songtao. This route was formulated by Yue Su last night.

There was nothing to say all the way, and after three days, everyone rushed to a place called Maqiao Town, which was already under the jurisdiction of Yinjiang County, less than sixty miles away from the county seat. When they were about to reach the entrance of the town, a group of people suddenly poured out of the town, each of them carrying a guy in his hand, some were flat poles, some were burning sticks, and even the nail rakes used for plowing the ground were also in it, and some of them were of higher grades, some were holding simple knives, some were holding steel knives, and some were javelins and spears. All in all, the weapon specifications are varied, and there is everything.

As soon as they saw this formation, everyone was stunned, and Tie Qi hurriedly urged him to take a step forward, block in front of Yue Su, hold the handle of the knife at his waist, and pull the guy to do it as soon as there was something unusual. The same is true for the other officers, each on guard.

However, the people who rushed out did not even look at them, and seemed to be in a hurry to leave. Yue Su looked at it and wondered, he didn't know where these people were going, but he could understand by looking at the posture that this was going to war. In the peaceful season, when there is no warning from the local county government, why did the people spontaneously organize and arm, where did they plan to fight, and with whom did they fight?

The more Yue Su thought about it, the more curious he became, and said, "Tieqiu, you take them to the inn to settle down, and I'll go over and take a look to see what happened." ”

"Big ...... Master...... Isn't it too dangerous for you to go alone, let me go with you. Tie Qiu originally wanted to call him an adult, but as soon as the word "big" came out, he immediately remembered Yue Su's instructions before going out.

"We have a female dependent, and I don't know what happened to this town, with you to leave a guard, I can rest assured. You don't have to worry, they won't hurt me. After Yue Su finished speaking, he turned over and dismounted, and was about to follow. Horseback riding used to be too ostentatious and inconvenient to hide.

Seeing Yue Su dismount, Ruan Aoyue also dismounted and said, "I'll go too." ”

"If there is a lively look, how can you leave me." Li Qiongying also jumped off the horse, don't look at this girl doesn't know any martial arts, but she is quite dexterous.

Several of the officers also said at this time that they would go with them to escort them, but Yue Su was worried that too many people would be exposed, so he stopped them. Ordered them to follow Tie Qiu to the town to find an inn to stay, wait quietly, and inquire by the way, what happened.

At this moment, the villagers had already run hundreds of meters, Yue Su was afraid of delay, so he set off immediately, and Li Qiongying and Ruan Aoyue hurriedly followed. Tie Qiu had no choice but to take people into the town.

Yue Su and the three of them followed all the way behind, and when they went out, there was a forest on the side of the road, and all of them went into the forest, and Yue Su and the three of them also followed, and after a while, they saw everyone gathering in a clearing in the forest.

At the same time, on the other side of the forest, there was also an influx of people, each of whom was also carrying a guy, and the weapons were better, mostly large knives and spears.

The two groups of people are clearly distinguished, facing each other, looking at the posture, Yue Su has already understood that these people are here to fight, as for what is going on, it is unknown. However, there were quite a few people on both sides, no less than 200 people.

The three of them hid behind the tree and watched quietly. I saw a purple-faced man standing out of the group of people opposite, and the big man was carrying a ghost-headed knife on his shoulder, with a sideways face, which was very vicious. He straightened his chest and folded his belly, and shouted with a big grin: "Listen to the people of the Tiger Family, the acquaintance obediently admits defeat, let go of the mine, grandpa spares you from dying, not only that, our lord said, as long as you vote over, what should you do, Zhong Ao gives more money, he adds three percent, what do you see!" ”

Behind the purple-faced man, there stood a slender and tall middle-aged man who looked like a bamboo pole, the middle-aged man was complacent, and he was holding a fan in his hand, looking very calm. Looking at the posture, it should be the leader of this group.

The group of people who were followed by Yue Su did not show weakness, and out of it came a shirtless middle-aged man, the middle-aged man had a big belly, and there was a heart guard hair on his chest, and he didn't look like a good person when he looked horizontally and vertically. He held a machete in his hand, and his momentum was not lost to the purple-faced man at all.

"Grandma's, this dead bamboo pole, relying on the support of outsiders, has taken up a lot of mines, and Lao Tzu has long looked at you unpleasantly. I didn't expect that without waiting for me to clean you up, you would dare to find me on the mountain tiger gate, and you would be tired of it. You don't inquire, what is the fate of those who dare to rob my mine, go to Lord Yama to report early. Acquaintances, kneel on the ground and kowtow to me three times, Lao Tzu may be able to let you go, otherwise next year today will be your taboo. The man who called the mountain tiger shouted babblingly.

"Tiger Master, brother, I usually respect you as a man, as the saying goes, those who know the times are Junjie, now the mine on Tongyin Mountain, three-fifths have fallen into the hands of my Ma Han, and you own most of the remaining two-fifths, as long as you give it to me, the rest of the people will definitely take the initiative to let it out. The strength of you and me is already obvious, so why bother to kill yourself. I will give you three ways to go now, one is to submit to me, to cast under my door, and I promise that I will never treat you badly. The second way, if you resell the mine to me, I will definitely give you a good price. As for the third way, it's going to be bloody. The middle-aged man on the bamboo pole stepped forward with a smile and talked eloquently. This guy is really as good as his name, a pockmark.

"Less nonsense! Lao Tzu brought the brothers over today to teach you a good lesson, and to avenge the blood hatred of the few mine owners who died under your sword. The tiger shouted.

"Master Tiger, you don't have to be so decent, I'm taking advantage of it now, so you laid this foundation at the beginning, didn't you rely on this, and the blood on your hands is not necessarily less than mine. We don't have to laugh at 50 steps and take 100 steps. Brother, I used to take care of you, and I learned a lot of things from you, so that I can have today, drink water and think of the source, so I told you so much, if you really don't know how to lift, don't blame your brother for being ruthless, let's see the truth on the knife! After Ma Han finished speaking, he put away his smile, took two steps back, and folded the fan in his hand, which means that he wants to do it.

"You still have the face to say that you have messed with me, if Lao Tzu knew that you were a white-eyed wolf, he would have cut you in two a long time ago, how could he have allowed you to live to this day. Come on! Your tiger grandfather fights, and he has never been afraid of anyone! With that, he raised the machete upwards.

The man standing behind him immediately shook his spirits, took up his weapon, and was about to rush over when the tiger gave the order.

At this moment, there were a lot of errand officers wearing soap clothes suddenly came out of the other side of the woods, and as soon as these errand officers rushed to the clearing, they immediately ran to Ma Han's side, and stood neatly one by one, and the last one who came out was a guy in a head-catching costume, and after he came out, he walked to the front of the errand officer, but he did not make a sound.

In a moment, another group of catchers appeared in the forest, and this group of catchers quickly ran to the side of the mountain tiger, and as just now, finally came out of a catcher.

As soon as Yue Su saw the arrival of an errand officer, he nodded with satisfaction, thinking to himself, the security in Yinjiang County is not bad, there is a private fight in the local area, and the people in the yamen can arrive as soon as possible, which is even stronger than the government office. It seems that the two sides can't fight.

Unexpectedly, the development of things was exactly the opposite of what Yue Su thought, and as soon as he praised the security of Yinjiang County in his heart, he heard the mountain tiger roar loudly: "Brothers, give it to me, slaughter that dead bamboo pole!" ”

As soon as his voice fell, the men and horses behind him rushed up and rushed straight to the opposite side. "Kill!" ……

Look at this meaning, it is clear that the people in the yamen are transparent.
