At this time, Dian Wei led his subordinates back with a large group of people. Dong Shouye saw that Dian Wei had returned victoriously, so he stopped talking to Miss Cai and stood there waiting for Dian Wei.

Dian Wei rode a fast horse, galloped to Dong Shouye, pulled the reins of the horse, flew off the horse nearly 30 meters away from Dong Shouye, walked quickly to Dong Shouye's body, knelt on one knee, hugged his fists and saluted to Dong Shouye: "Qi Yu Gongzi I Lao Dian is fortunate not to be dishonored, this time I led an army of 500 to fight, killed three people, seriously injured eight people, lightly injured 20 people, killed more than 40 bandits, captured more than 300 bandits, rescued a number of pedestrians who were besieged and captured by bandits, burned the bandits' cottage in the dry mountain, and obtained a lot of food, gold and silver. Please check it. ”

Dong Shouye saw Dian Wei's victorious return, although it was a small victory, he was also very happy, so he said to Dian Wei: "The evil has worked hard, the credit will be recorded for the time being, and we will reward it together after arriving in Chang'an." ”

Dian Wei said: "Thank you Gongzi, it's just that a few of the people who were besieged by bandits this time look like scribes, Gongzi, Lao Dian is a stupid head and doesn't know what to do, so I'm here to ask Gongzi!" ”

At this time, Xu Huang was also listening beside him, and said, "Third brother, let's go and have a look together, and then deal with it." ”

When Dong Shouye heard this, he nodded and said, "That's fine, big brother, let's go and have a look!" Then he turned to Cai Yan next to him and said, "Miss Cai, please wait a while, a sergeant will come over to arrange your food and lodging later." ”

At this time, Cai Yan said out loud: "General Dong, the little girl also wants to go with the general to see the world, this place is the Hongnong realm, and my father has been here many times, according to my father, his best friends in this place, there are many protégés, maybe there will be people I know among those people?" ”

Dong Shouye was stunned when he heard this, but how could he refuse the request of the beauty? So he said loudly: "That's fine, then Miss Cai and I will go and have a look." ”

So Dong Shouye led Xu Huang, Dian Wei, Cai Yan and others to the location of the subordinates led by Dian Wei, and it turned out that after Dian Wei's victory, he asked his subordinates to send the prisoners to the back camp where the baggage was delivered, and then flew to see Dong Shouye. Therefore, although Dong Shouye watched Dian Wei escort a large group of people back to the camp, only Dian Wei came to see him.

When I arrived at the place where the prisoners were held, I saw that this group of prisoners were all ragged, yellow-skinned, and it was estimated that they would not survive before they went up the mountain to become bandits. Not far away, there was another group of people, many of them in the appearance of scribes. One of them was a thin man with an extraordinary figure, no more than thirty years old, with a mustache and an old woman on his back, but the old woman looked a little sick and unrefreshed, probably sick.

Dong Shouye came to this thin scribe and asked, "I am Dong Bai Dong Shouye, who are you?" ”

The scribe touched the mustache on his mouth and said, "General Hui, in Xia Duji, the word Bohou, Jingzhao Duling." ”

At this time, Miss Cai exclaimed, pointed at Du Ji and said, "Are you Du Ji?" Aren't you the county magistrate of Zheng County now, why were you intercepted by bandits and robbers? ”

Before Du Yi could speak, he only heard Dong Shouye say to Cai Yan: "Who is Du Ji, and what is the matter with the county order of Zheng County?" ”

Cai Yan replied: "My father once mentioned this person to me, saying that this person is quite talented, and his ancestors Du Zhou and Du Yannian father and son are all famous in the world, which are recorded in the "Historical Records" and "Han Book". Du Zhou is a cool official in the world, a corrupt official; Du Yannian is a rare good official, well-known in the world. When Du Qi was young, his mother died, and his father continued to play the strings. But his stepmother was fierce and vicious, and treated him very harshly. But Du Ji has a tough heart and is known for his filial piety. At the age of 20, he was appointed as Jingzhao Gongcao, in charge of the 'selection of meritorious contributions', inspecting, recording, and recommending local talents, and later served as the county magistrate of Zheng County. The previous Zheng County Governor had poor political performance, and when he was in office, there was a backlog of many cases, and hundreds of people were locked in prison, and they were locked in prison and suffered. After Du Yi took office, he was able to handle the case, personally went to the prison to try the case, and it only took a short time to conclude all the cases. Those who should be sentenced have been sentenced, and those who should be released have been released. It has been well received by colleagues from top to bottom. ”

After listening to Cai Yan's story, Dong Shouye turned to Du Yi and said, "I didn't expect Mr. Du to be the county magistrate of Zheng County, and he was disrespectful. But I don't know why Mr. Du left office without permission and came back and forth? I thought in my heart that this person could get along well with his stepmother who beat and abused him, and he could also be famous for his filial piety, but it was not a simple character. There is a saying: the stepmother is fiercer than the tiger, and she is really a tigress. In the harmonious society of the 21st century, how many reports on the Internet say that the stepmother abused the child half-dead, and there was no good meat on the body. This Du Ji can still thrive under the abuse of his stepmother, and he is also a small and strong character.

Na Du Ji replied: "The princes of the Kwantung region are fighting against Dong, and there is a war near the capital division, and we are weak to change them. I heard that Jingzhou was peaceful under Liu Biao's governance, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. I thought about taking my mother to Jingzhou to escape the war. ”

Dong Shouye said: "I see, but I don't know how Mr. Du fell into the hands of this group of bandits and robbers. ”

Du Yi replied: "It's a shame to say, I also heard that there are strongmen near the Kuzhong Mountain. I waited but was in a hurry, and I didn't pay attention. I didn't expect to be unlucky, but I still met these strongmen. In fact, these bandits and bandits are also people from the vicinity, after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, many poor people were trapped in it, and later after being suppressed by the government, some remnants of the forces can only gather in the mountains and forests, and occasionally rob a merchant traveler to and from here as a way to survive. In fact, these bandits and strongmen are also homeless people caused by natural and man-made disasters, homeless and unable to survive, so they can only take chances and do some shameless deeds. ”

At this time, Dian Wei said to Dong Shouye in a loud voice: "Childe, this Mr. Du is quite resourceful and eloquent, and he was originally traveling with many fellow villagers, but he met bandits and strongmen, and his companions were scared away by the bandits. This Mr. Du was carrying his mother on his back, but he couldn't run too fast, and was caught up by these bandits. simply stood still, the bandits saw that there were really people who were not afraid of death, and they dared to provoke themselves, so they opened their bows and arrows, ready to shoot Mr. Du with arrows. But Mr. Du bowed his hand to the robbers and bandits and said politely: "Heroes, those who block the road and rob are nothing more than money. I have no money on me, only my elderly mother, what's the point of you killing me. The robbers also felt that there was no point in killing people for no reason, so they let Mr. Du's mother and son go, and they happened to be met by my old man and his people, and they didn't know the specific situation for a while, so they brought it back and prepared to let the son deal with it. Please also ask Mr. Du not to blame. ”

Du Ji rushed in and said: "The pawn is at the right time, saving the lives of my mother and son, Du is grateful, how can he blame." The relationship between us and the bandits and robbers is difficult to ascertain for a while, and it is understandable that the pawn will deal with me urgently and bring me back. ”

Dong Shouye said: "I don't know what Mr. Du thinks this prisoner should be handled? ”

Du Yi said: "These strongmen are just homeless, unable to survive good people, killing them is useless, if the general has a heart, it is better to contact the local county order to let them allocate some land for resettlement, and then some of these young people into the army, the amount will be no big problem from now on." ”

Dong Shouye felt that what Du Yi said was very reasonable, and it coincided with his own philosophy, so he instructed Dian Wei: "If the evil comes, you will settle these people according to Mr. Du's wishes, and there must be no mistakes." ”

Dian Wei stepped back and went to deal with these things. In fact, although there were less than 500 bandits this time, there were nearly 1,000 old, weak, sick and disabled people in the cottage. There was not much grain, gold and silver seized this time, and it was considered a loss-making transaction, but for the sake of this Du Ji, it was also worth it.

Dong Shouye saw Dian Wei retreat, and asked Du Ji again: "I don't know what Mr. Du plans to do in the future?" ”

Du Yi replied: "After this incident, I don't know where to go for a while? Maybe it's better to go to Jingzhou, after all, there is no war there. ”

At this time, Cai Yan said out loud: "Mr. Du, Lingtang has a sign of illness, I'm afraid it's not light, if you force yourself on the road and travel is tiring, I'm afraid Lingtang's health is not good." ”

Du Yi saluted Cai Yan and said, "Thank you Miss for reminding me, otherwise I would have almost killed my mother." I don't know the name of the young lady? ”

Cai Yan returned the salute and said, "Mr. Du is polite, the little woman Cai Yan and Cai Zhaoji." ”

Du Ji scratched his head and said that he had not heard of it. After all, Cai Yan was only fourteen or fifteen years old at this time, and he had not yet left the cabinet, and he was not yet the world-famous Cai family. Cai Yan doesn't tell others who her own Lao Tzu is, ordinary people definitely don't know her!

Dong Shouye said loudly at this time: "This is the daughter of Cai Yong and Cai Zhonglang, who is a great Confucian in the sea and famous all over the world. ”

When Du Yi heard that Cai Yan was Cai Yong's daughter, he was immediately moved, rushed in to straighten his clothes, gave a salute to Cai Yan, and said loudly: "It turned out to be Cai Zhonglang's daughter, disrespectful and disrespectful." The younger generation is also full of admiration for Cai Zhonglang's article calligraphy, talent and character. It's a great honor to meet Cai Zhonglang's daughter today. Please Miss Cai, take me to say hello to my father. ”

Dong Shouye was dumbfounded when he saw it, the gap between Du Yi's attitudes before and after was too big, he didn't expect this Cai Yong to be so famous and able to bluff people so much. is a general who is the boss, but people are unapologetic. Cai Yan Cai is a beautiful young and beautiful girl, peerless, and her posture does not let this Du Ji take a second look. It's just that when Cai Yong's name is mentioned, he is immediately complimentary, which is incredible.

This Cai Yan was also confused by the different attitudes of Du Ji's buddy, fortunately, she had encountered this kind of thing before, although it was the same and a little surprised, but after all, it was acceptable, so she said to Du Ji: "Mr. Du is polite, the little girl must convey Mr. Du's greetings to her father." ”
