Yang He ordered someone to accept the seal letter, glanced at Jiang Yingchang, who was cowering behind the civil and military officials, and said with a smile: "You ask to return to the imperial court, come and surrender together, and send back the seal letter from Jiang Zhixian and Baoan County, which shows that there is already a sense of repentance and sincerity. In the future, we will contribute to the court together, and we will work hard for the king's affairs, which will be a positive result, and when the time comes, we will be crowned with a wife and a son, and our lives will not be in vain. With that, he stood up and said respectfully: "Declare the decree!" ”

Liu Jin, Liu Hongru and others hurriedly knelt on the ground, Liu Keguan took a step forward, and the exhibition was read: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said: suppress rebellion and Fushun, the edict has been issued repeatedly, God is a sin and beggars, the evil is annihilated, the coercion is pitiful, and the plan should be declared, and the song is given to life." Shaanxi has repeatedly reported famines, and the small people are unemployed, and they are forced to obey the thieves and suffer from their own blades. Who is not a child, it is like this! Today, 100,000 taels of silver will be issued, and the disaster department will be given in the first place. Knowing the foolish people, coercing and reforming, that is, being a good citizen, Jia and Restoration, and receiving mercy as one. Chin this! ”

After the announcement was completed, Yang He looked at everyone and said slowly: "Now that you have been cared for, you are good citizens again, and the court is not to blame for the past. Do you hear me? ”

Liu Jin, Liu Hongru and others kowtowed and thanked them, and replied in unison: "I heard clearly." ”

Liu Keguan led Liu Jin and Liu Hongru to lift the Dragon Pavilion, and found two mighty men to hold up two apricot yellow banners in front, followed behind Yang Zhitai and others, and invited the Dragon Pavilion into the governor's yamen. Yang He connected the Dragon Pavilion into the lobby, and led the civil and military officials, military and civilian fathers and elders to perform five bows and three kowtows, and everyone shouted long live and received the surrender salute. Yang He recruited Liu Jin and Liu Hongru to retreat into the second hall to appease, and asked Shen Yikui when he would come to Ningzhou to visit, Liu Jin said with a hand: "The lord of the military gate, when we go back to see the big leader, the big boss knows that the lord treats us so politely, so he is naturally in a hurry to come to visit." ”

"The foundation of the country of etiquette. People are rude and do not believe, and the country is rude and do not stand. Today's emperor is merciful, sympathetic to all the people, and gentle and far away. The reign of the Son of Heaven is the blessing of our own people, and you should live well and think for a long time. Yang He took a sip of tea and said: "You are good citizens, but you have no choice but to be thieves, and the blame is not all on you, how can the headquarters not treat you like good citizens?" Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the ground, as long as you have a good heart, the world will tolerate him, and you can no longer slander him at will. In the previous generation, there was a great wicked man around, he listened to the persuasion of others, and determined to reform himself, didn't he become an example of a benevolent gentleman? You must not be despised by your own family. ”

Liu Hongru was surprised: "The eldest master also knows where he is?" ”

Yang He saw that he was stout and tall, but he had been standing next to the thin Liu Jin with a wooden expression, and he didn't say a word from beginning to end. ”

"It's not uncommon for the old man of Zhizhou to know, but the eldest master is from Xi'an, how did he know?" Liu Hongru seemed to be extremely confused.

Liu Jin couldn't help but interject: "What is there to guess about this, it must be the old man of Zhizhou who said it to the eldest master." ”

Yang He and Zhou Qiang glanced at each other, confused in their hearts, and couldn't stop talking about them, frowning: "You don't have to guess randomly, I read the people and things around me from books." ”

Liu Jin was overwhelmed with admiration: "The eldest master has read a lot of books. Zhou is just a rich man on Liu Hongru's grandmother's village, known as Zhou nerd. His parents died when he was young, his family was extremely poor, and he was looked down upon countless times, who knew that he had developed in 20 years, and he was written into books, how glorious! He said it loudly, I don't know whether to praise Yang He for his extensive reading, or to envy Zhou for making a fortune.

Yang He smiled dumbly, shook his head and said, "The surrounding area I said is not from yours. ”

Ignoring the surprised appearance of the two of them, Zhou Qiang made his eyes stop them from arguing, and said with a smile: "The Zhou family that Lord Zhengtai said is in Yixing, Dongwu, which is today's Yixing County, Jiangsu, and is not a local. You rough men who farm have never read any books, what can you learn in your stomach? It's insulting to your name. ”

Liu Hongru was used to sneering, and he didn't have the slightest fire, his face was red like a child, and he twisted: "The villain's stomach is full of yellow, where can I eat any vegetables and sheep blood?" The name was given by Mr. Pavilion for ten copper coins, thinking that his father was unwilling to teach the villain to plant a lifetime of fields, but who knew that the villain skipped school the first day. He lowered his head, secretly feeling sorry for his father.

Sunday snorted: "Look at your clumsiness, you look like you are driving a car to carry the burden of death, you are not born to use a pen and ink!" ”

"The old man sees it really accurately, the villain feels brisk when he holds the plow and carries the rake, but the small brush seems to weigh a thousand pounds, and he can't move." When everyone saw that his huge man was like a primary school student being questioned by his husband, he was at a loss, and his appearance was extremely funny, and they couldn't help laughing. On Sunday, he was afraid of his babbling and despicable things, so he hurriedly diverted the topic and said, "Don't talk too far." The master of Taiwan said that Zhou was born in the Jin Dynasty, a figure hundreds of years ago, brave and powerful. He lost his father since he was a child, no one disciplined him, and he dominated one side, and the local people called him and Nanshan White-fronted Tiger and Changqiao Dajiao as Yixing Three Evils. Later, Zhou suddenly woke up, abandoned evil and followed good, killed tigers and big Jiao, worshiped the famous Confucian Lu Ji and Lu Yun brothers of Wu County as teachers, and was recruited by the government as an official. Since ancient times, heroes don't care about their background, as long as they are not willing to be indecent, they will definitely achieve something. ”

"As the saying goes, the prodigal son doesn't change his money when he turns back!" Yang He said: "Now that you know repentance, you abandon the darkness and turn to the light, which is to contribute to the imperial court." Whether you read or not, whether you are illiterate or not, you can still repay the emperor's grace, the important thing is whether you are really willing and have the ambition of a rock. When there is more for good, there will be less for evil. ”

Liu Hongru patted his chest and said: "Master, we are all rough men, and our words also count, if you spit it will become a nail, and the you pull out can't be retracted." Since we have promised to submit to the court, no, we will not easily regret it......" He was so anxious that his face turned red, and he kept bowing. Liu Jin grabbed him and said respectfully: "The master treated us with courtesy, and we are grateful." We are all rough people, we haven't read a few years of books, we can't read a few words, but we are not a fatherless animal, we know that doing things is the first word of righteousness, we all revere Lord Guan in private, but if there is any major matter to decide, we must go to the Guan Emperor Temple to burn incense and swear, if the Lord can trust us, I am willing to go to the statue of Lord Guan to be a witness. ”

Without waiting for Yang He to speak, Sunday Qiang shouted: "Nonsense! You have already worshiped the throne of the Dragon Pavilion, even if it is considered a ceremony, why do you need to worship any more clay puppet mud tires? How to do this at both ends of the first rat? ”

Liu Jin and the others were extremely indignant when they heard him blaspheming Emperor Guan, and a trace of disdain suddenly appeared on their faces, and they were forced to endure themselves because of the situation. Yang He saw that their faces were different, and said with a smile: "The Spring and Autumn Oath, killing horses and cooking cattle, this custom has been around for a long time, and it is understandable. As long as it is beneficial to calm the chaos, it doesn't hurt to go a few more times. The main hall will burn incense and swear with you at the Guandi Temple! ”

Liu Jin and the others listened, knelt down and asked: "The two of us are willing to carry a sedan chair for the master." ”

Yang He was overjoyed, came out and got on the green sedan chair, Liu Jin and the two of them lifted up steadily, and the soldiers and the people flocked behind to follow, the drums and music were noisy, and they came to the Guandi Temple. Seeing Yang He, Liu Jin, and Liu Hongru entering the temple gate and kneeling to bow down and oath, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and were thinking about how to place the governor back to the palace, but they heard a sound in the temple, which seemed to be the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, but Yang He asked in shock: "Who are you?" Why hide on the beam and peek? I couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly led people into the temple.

"Don't panic, don't you always want to appease us?" The man who jumped off the beam was short in stature, and his demeanor was extremely obscene, and he looked at Yang He, who had a clear face, and laughed a few times.

"You're a god?" Yang He was surprised, but he couldn't imagine that the famous Shen Yikui was so dry and thin, and he was very disappointed in his heart.

"Why, don't you think it's like it?" Shen Yikui's eyes flashed, and the light was compelling in an instant. Wu Hongqi and Fan Li pressed their swords and shouted: "Be bold and bold, if you don't tell you, do you dare to assassinate?" ”

Yang He saw that he didn't have a weapon on him, so he calmed down and waved his hand to stop him: "Judging people by their appearance, losing their son and feather is a saint's training, how can the main hall be vulgar?" ”

Shen Yikui was not surprised when he saw that he was changing, and bowed down and said: "Actually, let's move together with Liu Jin and the others, but we can't guess the thoughts of adults, and I am afraid that something will go wrong, so I will hide and watch from the sidelines." is a little affectionate, and I hope that the adults are in the sea. ”

"The Ministry Hall has long presented the matter of appeasement to the emperor, and now it is under the emperor's edict, how can it be repeated?"

"Let's see that the lord first ordered Zhang Yingchang to withdraw from the army and make a truce, and then opened the heavy door, and waited for me to be polite, so solemn, and put my heart in my heart, I dared to show up with confidence." God bowed his knees and prostrate.

Yang He stretched out his hand and said, "Since you surrender sincerely, it is not in vain that the whole department has worked hard." Life in the world, who can be without fault, and can change after passing, and the good is great. With this kind thought, the headquarters will pardon you and others from their sins, and ensure that you will be given a garrison official position, and you will be guilty of meritorious service. Those soldiers who are willing to stay can be placed in various battalions to eat food as soldiers, and those who are willing to return to their hometowns can be issued stamps as a voucher for customs clearance and transit, so that they can reunite with their families. The headquarters is ready to ask the emperor for an edict and ask for 20,000 taels of silver to be used to repatriate Sichuan. ”

Shen Yikui was overjoyed when he heard this, knelt in front of the idol and swore an oath, but he heard someone outside the temple scolding: "Dog thief, you can deceive others, you can't deceive me!" One leaped forward and stabbed with his sword. Shen Yikui knew that there was a change, dodged to the side of the god case, reached out to probe, and had already resisted the candlestick in his hand.

Yang He shouted: "Du Wenhuan, don't stop!" Do you dare to ruin the emperor's plan? Zhou Qiang and Wu Hongqi hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, Du Wenhuan was angry and scolded: "Such a wolf-hearted thief, even women and children will not let go, what's the use of appeasing him?" It's better to slaughter Lisuo with a knife. ”

Yang He persuaded: "When God is a thief, it is inevitable to kill people and set fires, how many benevolent and righteous thieves are there in the world?" Now that he has the heart to recruit peace and contribute to the court, those old hatreds will be put aside for the time being, and the emperor has decreed forgiveness, and if you have to embarrass him, you will resist the decree. ”

Du Wenhuan said angrily: "He killed dozens of people in my family, old and young, this hatred is not shared, how can you say that you will throw it aside?" Since ancient times, how can you spare people who kill people to pay for their lives and repay debts and money? beg the lord not to allow him to submit, and to capture him before the lowly battle. ”

Shen Yikui saw that Yang He insisted on dissuading him, and he felt at ease, put down the candlestick, and said with a smile: "Mr. Du, everyone knows that you are brave, but we are not afraid to go back and forth with you to learn and show the evil spirit in your chest, but I am afraid that it will go against the holy will and make you lose your official position, but it is not beautiful, isn't it even more angry?" ”

Du Wenhuan was furious, his eyes were about to split, and he said sharply: "Hugh said that he lost his official position, today he is desperately losing his life, and he will kill you, a shameless rat, under the sword." "Fight with a sword to deceive yourself, and take a straight shot from God. Liu Jin and Liu Hongru hurriedly stepped forward to help, but they were helpless and were forced to hurry by Du Wenhuan with a few swords.

Shen Yikui saw Wu Hongqi and Fan Li watching coldly, and had no intention of helping, and shouted: "Lord Junmen, we admire you for being a sincere gentleman, who knows that you actually designed to make us fooled, so I will not accompany you." He turned around and fled to the temple gate, "Go back!" With a loud shout, a person blocked the door, his fist spat out, and a dark force that was also strong and soft forced Shen Yi Kuisheng to retreat.

Yang He was worried that Shen Yikui was forced to be in a hurry, and he couldn't be appeased, so he would go to be a thief again, which would ruin the overall situation, and shouted to Wu and Fan: "Hurry up and get off his sword!" Du Wenhuan had already seen that the person who punched Shen Yikui back to the temple was Cai Jiuyi, knowing that Hong Chengchou had arrived, thinking that he had strong reinforcements, regardless of Wu and Fan, who were forced by their swords, and rushed straight to Shen Yikui, taking advantage of the opportunity when he was forced to retreat a few steps by Cai Jiuyi, he stabbed a sword to the throat. At this time, Hong Chengchou had already entered the temple gate and shouted to stop him: "Tao Wu, don't come nonsense!" It turned out that Hong Chengchou sent Li Yingqi away, and he wanted to thank Du Wenhuan for leading troops to help, but he rushed to the air, asked a few soldiers, and knew that he had brought his personal soldiers to Ningzhou. Hong Chengchou was shocked when he heard this, thinking that Du Wenhuan must have rushed to Ningzhou to seek revenge, worried that he would be in a hurry and faint and cause trouble, so he hurriedly chased Cai Jiuyi all the way down on a fast horse.

Cai Jiuyi heard the sound and threw a punch, and the last shot came first, shaking Shen Yikui to the side, and the sword Leng Sensen walked in front of Shen Yikui's door. Cai Jiuyi turned her fist into a palm and leaned on Du Wenhuan's wrist, Du Wenhuan suddenly felt a burst of soreness, and the sword could no longer be grasped, and fell to the ground with a bang. Yang He looked angry and said, "Tie up Du Wenhuan!" ”

Hong Chengchou hurriedly pleaded: "Military Gate, Nian Du General Soldier was wiped out, and his mind was confused, and it is understandable. ”

"The emperor has given the emperor's permission to appease the overall situation, but he has disturbed it again and again, thinking that you didn't make any trouble this time, and spare you this time. If you dare to come nonsense, the crime of bullying the king will be lost! Yang He snorted and walked out with Shen Yikui and the others.

Du Wenhuan looked at Yang He and the others walking away in a distracted manner, and finally couldn't bear the grief and indignation in his heart, and cried loudly. Hong Chengchou did not dissuade, sighed softly, waited for him to stop crying, stroked his back and shook his head: "Tao Wu, you are too anxious. ”

Du Wenhuan burst into tears and choked up: "Family hatred is deep, and it is difficult to get rid of it at all times." ”

"Alas!" Hong Chengchou listened to him and was unwilling in his heart, "You are so reckless, you just give people a grip, if Yang Junmen uses this to join you, the emperor will blame him, don't say revenge, I'm afraid that even your own life will be difficult to protect." ”

"He Yang He didn't have the hatred of killing his relatives, so he naturally watched coldly."

"Don't talk about others, your own family is also unkind."

"Why am I unkind?"

"Think about it, if you appease the gods and have the emperor's permission, how can you resist and disobey the order? Besides, Yang Junmen can't wait to appease God Yikui and publicize his affairs, so that the world knows about it, and he can return to Beijing to see His Majesty in style, but you want to cut God Yikui quietly with a sword, isn't this deliberately embarrassing him? ”

"This ......" Du Wenhuan was speechless for a while, squatting on the ground with his head in his hands, his expression extremely painful and desperate. Hong Chengchou comforted: "You don't have to be in a hurry, you want to kill the gods, and you will find an opportunity to attack in the future." ”

"He has the death-free ticket issued by Yang Junmen, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to do it."

"You're not just an acute person, but also a rectum, why don't you make a few detours?" Hong Chengchou twisted his beard and smiled, with a confident demeanor, Du Wenhuan was unfathomable, and his heart was even more dazed, he got up and said with a long stroke: "If you can kill the gods, you will never forget the great grace!" ”

Hong Chengchou also saluted: "It's serious." You and I are the same enemy, why should we do this? At the celebration banquet tonight, it is good to eat and drink raw, and it is not allowed to be repeated. ”
