Wu Shigong rode on his horse and looked at the bandit cottage with the gate smashed to pieces and the bandit's corpse lying on the ground. Wu Shigong's soldiers constantly escorted out the captives in the cottage and sorted out the captured booty.

He Fei walked towards Wu Shigong with a stack of letters with a big grin, he handed the letter to Wu Shigong, and complained: "Master, why do you say those bandits are so poor? We have all laid down three cottages, and the silver taels seized before and after are only more than 2,000 taels, which is not enough for the gunpowder and iron bullets of the artillery. ”

Wu Shigong replied with a smile: "It's already a lot, in addition to the silver, the goods stolen by those bandits are still worth a little money." However, only a stupid boy like you would think that bandits are rich. If you have money, who will be a bandit? ”

He Fei touched his head stupidly, and said with a smile: "This is also true!" But the bandits are stupid. I finally found a few who could write, but the letters they wrote were all different bullshit and full of typos. ”

He Fei's words amused Wu Shigong all of a sudden. A few days after He Fei learned to read, he began to say that other people's letters were different and there were many typos.

Wu Shigong opened the letters in his hand in turn, read them all, and praised: "You did a good job." Just make it clear in the letter. Originally, the bandits' letters should have been different and full of typos. That's what it looks like. ”

But when Wu Shigong saw a few letters from Zuihou, he raised his head suspiciously and asked He Fei, "...... is this?" ”

He Fei approached Wu Shigong's ear and whispered, "Young Master, there are really people colluding with these bandits." These are all letters written to the bandits by those people in Guide Mansion who look like dogs. ”

Wu Shigong nodded and ordered: "You pick some of the goods they robbed, not too much, but have a clear caravan mark, as stolen goods for me to take away." ”

He Fei hurriedly nodded in agreement, and then he asked Wu Shigong, "Master, what should those captives do?" ”

"The bandit leaders and those who had been bandits in previous years were killed, along with their families. Those who only became bandits this year were sent back to the fortress of the Thousand Households to be the lowest-class domestic slaves. ”

"Yes!"

"Also, then I went back to my errand with my team. You take the infantry team, just walk along the bandits' nest found by the turtles, just walk around, and if you run, don't chase hard, if you don't open your eyes and don't run, you can also beat down if you are sure. Remember, the safety of our own soldiers is paramount. In addition, when you arrive in Zuihou, you will go to Guide Mansion City and give those bandit leaders and these real letters to Lord Fuzun and Zhao Command. Give them all the credit. ”

He Fei took the few true letters, and asked Wu Shigong with some doubts: "These people are really colluding with bandits!" Master, you don't care about it, right? ”

Wu Shigong replied with a smile: "I know that you kid is greedy for money and wants to raid those people's homes." We can't be too dark-hearted in doing things, so let's let the people of the Guide Mansion distribute the money. In this way, we will be able to live a long time. ”

When Wu Shigong set out to suppress the bandits, Wu Shigong's army met Xue Zhinong and the others who had returned on the road, and obtained the bandit distribution map that Xue Zhinong and they had explored. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Wu Shigong's army attacked the first bandit cottage, followed by the second, and then the third.

Under the protection of Wu Shigong's powerful firepower, well-trained soldiers, and the armor on the soldiers' bodies, the capture of these three cottages did not take Wu Shigong half a day. From beginning to end, Wu Shigong's soldiers only injured seven or eight people, and none of them were seriously injured, and the whole process of suppressing bandits made Wu Shigong feel a little bored.

After the bandits were captured, under the threat of death, some literate bandits concocted several letters, and they colluded with Huang Yuanwai to rob the caravan. In order to make the case to death, he also explained in the letter that they were the remnants of the Holy Spirit Society, and the property they robbed was ready to rebel again.

And after Wu Shigong sent someone to report the news, Xue Yongli immediately led three hundred soldiers to set off from the fortress of Qianhusuo. They also carried with them some of the doctrines of the Order of the Holy Spirit, some idolatry, and of course, some weapons. Because among the domestic slaves captured by Wu Shigong at that time, there were not many believers of the Holy Spirit Society, so it was easy to concoct these things.

After Wu Shigong and Xue Yongli converged, they immediately divided their troops with lightning speed. Some rushed to Zhuangzi, where the three of them were outside the county seat, and Wu Shigong personally led the soldiers, and in the stunned eyes of the soldiers guarding the city gate in the county seat, they rushed into the county seat, and immediately surrounded and rushed into the house of the three of them outside Huang Yuanwai.

Wu Shigong ignored Huang Yuanwai's pleas for mercy at all, and immediately killed all the men of Huang Yuanwai's three families, and arrested all the remaining family members of Huang Yuanwai's three families.

Then, while asking the soldiers to raid the homes of the three of them, Wu Shigong came to the county office with the so-called copied evidence of rebellion and asked to see the county commander Yu Zilian.

Yu Zilian heard the announcement of the official today, and knew that Wu Shigong led the army into the county seat without his knowledge. He was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he was afraid that Wu Shigong would really rebel.

After Wu Shigong asked to see him, Yu Zilian's expression had not calmed down. After seeing Wu Shigong, Yu Zilian didn't dare to make any official statement: "Wu Shoubei, why did you come to the county today?" ”

Wu Shigong bowed respectfully to Yu Zilian and said: "Lord County, when the official was suppressing the bandits, he found that the bandits were colluding with the remnants of the Holy Spirit Society. ”

Then, Wu Shigong handed over the so-called evidence to Yu Zilian for a look. Yu Zilian's heart relaxed a little, knowing that Wu Shigong was not rebelling. But when he looked at the list of the remnants of the Holy Spirit Society, a mouthful of blood almost spurted out of his mouth. This fool can see that Wu Shigong is taking revenge on the gentry who took away his land.

Yu Zilian immediately wanted to slap the table, but when he looked up, he saw Wu Shigong sneering. Wu Shigong slowly took out another letter from his arms and said to Yu Zilian: "Lord County, this official and those bandits confessed, buy the confession of Lord County." However, the official thinks that this is the remnants of the Holy Spirit Society biting back, how can the adults be so loyal and patriotic, how can they do such a big rebellious thing? ”

Wu Shigong's yin and yang weird tone made Yu Zilian very weak-hearted. He did receive their generous gifts from Huang Yuanwai, if Wu Shigong killed Huang Yuanwai's Holy Spirit Society remnants, then Yu Zilian would have some yellow mud and fall off his crotch, which is not a matter () but also a matter ().

Yu Zilian's cold sweat broke out, and he immediately said: "That must be framed, it must be framed." If there are such bold and chaotic people under the rule of this county, this county must deal with them severely. ”

Then, at the request of Wu Shigong, Yu Zilian also made up the official documents of the three families in the county to arrest Huang Yuan. At this moment, Wu Shigong's procedures are complete.

Wu Shigong didn't have to pay attention to the unforgiving people, and after leaving five hundred taels of silver, he gave his hand and left. When leaving, Wu Shigong said to Yu Zilian: "Those remnants of the Holy Spirit Society also confessed to the warden who was in charge of the land deed in the county yali, and they also colluded with them. ”

Yu Zilian slapped the big case, and said with awe-inspiring dignity: "There is such a heartbroken person, come here, immediately arrest Zhang Dianzhi and put him in prison." ”

Wu Shigong saw that his goal had been achieved, so he smiled and said again: "This official doesn't want to see this warden get out of this prison alive!" Then, Wu Shigong hahadaxiao walked away.

Looking at the back of Wu Shigong's arrogant departure, Yu Zilian wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and scolded in his mouth: "Wufu! Bad man! ”

At this time, Yu Zilian's master behind the screen turned to Yu Zilian's side, he looked through the evidence, and then said to Yu Zilian: "The owner, the evidence made by this martial artist is ironclad, but in this way, the martial artist also gives you a great credit!" Moreover, the floating wealth of the three families must have been taken by Nawufu, but the land will not run away on its own. Look, we ......"

In this way, the three gentry including the Huang family were quietly wiped out in Guide Mansion. In fact, whether it is from the officialdom or among the people, they all know that this is Wu Shigong's revenge. However, because Wu Shigong did not leak a drop of water, and because the government at all levels also took some benefits to a greater or lesser extent, no official raised any objections to Wu Shigong's approach.

In the process of raiding the house, Wu Shigong copied more than 21,000 taels of silver, more than 8,000 stones of grain, and more than 5,000 taels of silver for other property. Moreover, in the process of distributing the confiscated land by the county officials afterwards, two more Zhuangzi and more than 1,000 acres of land were obtained. Coupled with the silver and property that Wu Shigong seized from the bandits, totaling nearly 4,000 taels of silver, Wu Shigong's suppression of the bandits this time can be described as a great success.

And the county commander Yu Zilian also won the praise of the excellent in the official evaluation of the Ministry of Officials in this year because of his meritorious service in eliminating the anti-thieves. In addition, Yu Zilian also obtained a lot of silver from the sale of confiscated land.

Therefore, Wu Shigong and Yu Zilian, the opponents with deep personal grievances, have achieved a happy result in this matter.

And the people were also frightened by Wu Shigong's sudden appearance of ruthless methods. The most obvious thing is that the gentry who have already made amends to Wu Shigong immediately made up another generous gift and sent it to Wu Shigong. And Wu Shigong didn't accept it, they didn't feel at ease.

Wu Shigong calculated that the value of the two gifts given by those gentry before and after was enough to buy the land they wanted to obtain from Wu Shigong. Wu Shigong secretly scolded in his heart: "These cheap bones! ”
