"Your uncle is a hero, but he does not value his fame, but his love and righteousness, and he is really a model of heroes in the world." Zheng Yuan glanced at the jade plate from the side and curiously, and was sincerely amazed.

Xiao Qiongzhi smiled sweetly back, "Sir, I think so too." ”

"Although my uncle did not help our Chu State deal with Qi State on the surface, he can protect the villagers of Chu State and let everyone get more survival resources by fighting tigers, wild boars and wolves."

"Moreover, the money I got in exchange for fighting tigers, wild boars and wolves can also help me support thirty rural children, go to county school together, and cultivate the future pillars of the Chu State."

"Whether it is from the present or in the long run, it is a great contribution to our Chu State!"

"By the way, last month, he also helped our Zhoujia Village kill all the vicious robbers of Guangjia Village, if it weren't for him, the vast majority of the people in our Zhoujia Village would have died in the hands of the robbers of Guangjia Village, and now, there may not be many living people!"

"Little girl, the robbers of Guangfu Village you are talking about are from Bajiao Mountain, Wuqi Township, Tanzhou?" Zheng Yuan's eyes lit up and asked curiously.

"Yes!" Xiao Qiongzhi replied in the affirmative.

"Great hero, you are amazing! You are my great benefactor! Zheng Yuan immediately looked at Zheng Bang with a grateful face, and bowed deeply to him three times in succession.

Xiao Qiongzhi looked a little confused.

What's going on?

"Mr. Zheng, what are you?" Zheng Bang was also puzzled, and asked curiously while holding Zheng Yuan.

"My ancestral home is in Zhengjia Village, Fengmu Township, which is adjacent to Wuqi Township, Tanzhou. In late September this year, our village was massacred and looted by bandits from Guangfu Village, and 375 members of our clan were brutally killed, 196 people were seriously injured, and the rest of the tribesmen were basically not lightly injured. ”

"After I learned about this, I immediately reported to Lord Xu and Lord Zhu, the county lieutenant, hoping to send someone over to exterminate the bandits in Guangyu Village."

"However, although the county magistrate agreed, the county lieutenant Zhu, but in the name of robbers everywhere now, he must defend the county seat, so he delayed his troops and did not move."

"This incident has always been a problem for me. Great hero, it is you, who got rid of my heart disease and avenged the revenge of my Zhengjia Village slaughtering the village, you are not only my great benefactor, but also the great benefactor of everyone in Zhengjia Village! Zheng Yuan said sincerely.

"Mr. Zheng's words are serious, Lang Lang Qiankun, how can you allow the bandits in Guangxu Village to hurt people? I just did what I was supposed to do. "Zheng Bang does not take credit.

It's just a gesture, but to him, it's really nothing.

"Great hero, you are too modest. You are not from my Chu country, and you have no obligation to protect the innocent people of my Chu country. In such a period of internal and external troubles, what my Chu country needs in various places is a big hero like you. ”

"I will definitely report your heroic deeds to the county magistrate, so that he can reward you and promote righteousness!" Zheng Yuan seemed very cautious.

At this time, everyone had already walked to the gate of the county yamen, Zheng Yuan asked Zheng Bang and Xiao Qiongzhi to wait outside the yamen first, and he accompanied Prince Zhao to see the county first.

"Uncle, just now Mr. Zheng mentioned that the county lieutenant is an adult surnamed Zhu, you say, will he be related to Zhu Yu?" Xiao Qiongzhi took the opportunity to ask Zheng Bang in a low voice.

Last time, Zhu Yu's sister dared to openly let Chu Yunniang and herself out of the house.

This time, Zhu Yu openly let people trick Liu Wuxiu and Zhou Dayong into the Chu Mansion and boldly commit murder.

There are all kinds of indications that Zhu Yu and Zhu Yu's sister are fearless in this Dingzi County.

So, what are they relying on?

The county lieutenant of Dingzi County happened to be surnamed Zhu, and Xiao Qiongzhi's intuition told her that it was probably more than just a coincidence.

"This Lord Zhu, since he can find an excuse not to exterminate the extremely vicious bandits of Guangfu Village, it can be seen that he is definitely not a righteous gentleman."

"Even if he is not Zhu Yu's relative, he should have colluded with Zhu Yu and them because of some other interests, otherwise, Zhu Yu's sister and brother would not dare to be so rampant under his nose." Zheng Bang said in a deep voice.

"Then we have to watch out for him, if it is confirmed that he has colluded with the Zhu Yu sisters and brothers, we must find a way to solve this problem as soon as possible." Xiao Qiongzhi made a decisive decision.

After the New Year, after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, he will move his family to the county seat to live, and if he keeps the county lieutenant Zhu Yu who supports them, there will be endless troubles.

Zheng Bang nodded.

Soon, there was a guard who came out of the county government in a hurry, looking like he was going to find someone.

After a short while, Prince Zhao and Zheng Yuan came out of the county government one after another.

Behind them, a middle-aged man in his forties wearing an official uniform was closely followed.

His facial features are Zhou Zheng, and he looks quite righteous, it is estimated that he is the Xu County Order in Zheng Yuan's mouth and the Xu Nian in the mouth of Prince Zhao.

Behind him, there were more than a dozen guards, all holding killing sticks in their hands and wearing knives on their waists.

Zheng Yuan knew that neither Zheng Bang nor Xiao Qiongzhi knew Xu Nian.

As soon as he walked up to Zheng Bang, he pointed to Xu Nian and introduced them to them, "Big hero, little girl, this is our Lord Xu, the magistrate of Dingzi County." ”

"I've seen Lord Xu!" Zheng Bang immediately clasped his hands into fists and gave Xu Nian a salute.

Xiao Qiongzhi followed closely behind Zheng Bang and did the same.

Xu Nian nodded with a warm smile before he deliberately looked at Zheng Bang and said with admiration, "Great hero, Master Zheng has already told me about your heroic deeds just now." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a lot of appreciation for you. ”

"Thank you for doing so much for the people of my county. When it comes to Zhu Yu's deception of Zhou Dayong into the Chu Mansion, after it is dealt with, I will definitely reward you according to His Royal Highness the Prince's instructions! ”

"Thank you to His Royal Highness the Prince, Xu Zhixian, and Mr. Zheng for raising me, but Zheng Bang is disrespectful and deserved." Zheng Bang immediately rushed to Prince Zhao, Xu Zhixian, and Zheng Yuan, clasped his fists one after another, and performed three Jianghu salutes one after another.

Since it is very likely that Zhu County Lieutenant has colluded with Zhu Yu's sisters and brothers, then, in dealing with the next matter, it is necessary to rely on Prince Zhao, Xu Zhixian, and Zheng Yuan to contribute.

Zheng Bang has always been a person who knows the times very well, and he is happy to give them a few thin noodles in moderation.

And Prince Zhao didn't understand the reason for this, and he was very satisfied when he saw that Zheng Bang did not refuse, and he waited for Xu Nian to give him a reward.

The corners of his lips hooked, and he said softly, "The big hero turned out to be called Zheng Bang, I remember, when I return to Chujing, I will ask my father for a greater reward for you!" ”

"His Royal Highness Prince Xie Zhao!" Zheng Bang once again clenched his fists at Prince Zhao.

Prince Zhao was even more satisfied, and on the way to Chu Mansion, he deliberately walked with Zheng Bang.

Xiao Qiongzhi took the opportunity to ask him, "His Royal Highness Prince Zhao, why didn't you go to Chu Mansion with Lord Zhixian with you?" ”

Prince Zhao replied casually, "He is not in the county office, his subordinates said that he went to the east gate to deal with a small dispute, and Xu Zhixian has sent his subordinates to find him." ”

"His Royal Highness Prince Zhao, his subordinates should be lying to you."

"You forgot, Mr. Zheng also mentioned just now that in order to defend the county seat, Lord Zhu County Lieutenant is not even willing to take people to exterminate the extremely vicious bandits of Guangfu Village, so how can he be interested in dealing with a small dispute outside the city?" Xiao Qiongzhi reminded seriously.

Although she couldn't be sure why County Lieutenant Zhu was not in the county office, her intuition told her that it was impossible for County Lieutenant Zhu to really go outside the East City Gate to deal with a small dispute.

In case he actually went to do something bad, then, as long as he reminded Prince Zhao to send someone to follow his men, things would be interesting.

"Yang Zhong, Zhang Wang, you immediately go to chase, the catcher who went to find the county lieutenant Zhu just now, follow him quietly, see where he is, and find the county lieutenant Zhu!" Unexpectedly, Prince Zhao was thorough at one point, and he didn't need Xiao Qiongzhi to continue to remind him, so he immediately turned his head and ordered a few guards behind him.

Xiao Qiongzhi was secretly happy.
