Chapter 6 Banditry
The ancestors of the Song family walked out from Qingfeng County, and then suddenly made a fortune and built a mansion facing north and south in Qingfeng County, which was considered a rich and noble family at that time.
It's a pity that in Song Hanshu's generation, the family is in the middle, and the Song family is the only one left, and after returning to Qingfeng County, it coincided with Wang De's taking power, and the family wealth was scattered, so he survived under the harsh government.
Wen Zhesang originally came to Song Hanshu to discuss the matter of the mountain bandits, but Song Hanshu was afraid of passing on the wind and cold to her, so he refused to meet her. Wen Zhesang had no choice but to talk to him through the door. It's just that I just remembered that this person is weak, and now he should take care of his illness.
As soon as I remembered this, a cough sounded in the room. Immediately after that, Song Hanshu's weak voice came out: "I don't know why the adults came here today?" ”
The words swirled around Wen Zhesang's stomach, "Dongxue stewed chicken soup for you, drink it while it's hot, remember to rest well." ”
Song Hanshu: "Ahem...... Please thank the winter snow girl for her kindness. ”
Listening to his weak voice, Wen Zhesang completely gave up his original intention of coming here. She handed over the food box to the old servant and went out, only then did she look at the peach blossom of Turui and smile helplessly, she was really dizzy for the mountain bandits today.
Near noon, Zhao Er went to the school to pick up his little brother home for dinner as usual. The location of the school is remote, the scale is not large, and there is only one master and a dozen students in the entire school. At the beginning, Wang De made Qingfeng County into a miasma, and the people were forced to be so forced that they couldn't even pay the children's shackles. There were fewer and fewer students in the school, and in the end they had to disperse.
But Wang De was not satisfied, he said that the right to open a school was handed over to a few wealthy families, and he was bound to the sky. The children of rich families can afford to go to school, but the children of ordinary families like them are ......
Fortunately, the master in this school persevered, and it was difficult to support the school for several years, so that the younger brother and some children could study.
Listening to the sound of reading in the school, Zhao Er was full of emotion. Since the last time he experienced the memorization of the notice, and after he got a set of four treasures of the study room from the county commander, he parted ways with Ma San's group.
He was fascinated by ghosts at the beginning, so he got involved with Ma San and those people, but those people had nothing to worry about, basically one person fed the whole family and was not hungry. He is different, he has a father to support, and a younger brother to teach, how can he say that he has fallen and fallen?
Thinking of this, Zhao Er once again thanked Wen Zhesang in his heart for his kindness, if it weren't for the four treasures of the study, he would almost forget that he was also a hot-blooded student in the past.
It's a pity, the past goes with the wind.
The sound of reading became quieter, Zhao Er walked outside the school, and the peach and pear trees were planted in the school, and now there were pink and white flowers. When the flowers are gone, in a few months, the students will put down their books, and monkeys will run up the trees, pick peaches and pears, and they will be able to bite into a mouthful of sweetness.
As soon as his gaze turned, he saw a verdant green hill not far away. I heard that those mountain bandits are back again, and the school is so close to Xia Qingshan, it is really not safe.
Just as he was thinking this, two people suddenly appeared in his sight. They all turned their backs to him, and one of them walked in the direction of the mountain, and the other was dressed in a fast catcher's clothes, but he couldn't see his face, and he didn't know who it was.
There are bandits in the mountains!
Zhao Er's heart jumped, and just as he was about to call out to the two, the one wearing the fast clothes turned around, and the two looked at each other from a distance.
"Brother Xie?" Zhao Er said in a loud voice, "Brother Xie, is that your friend?" There are mountain bandits in the mountains, tell him not to enter the mountains! ”
In the distance, Xie Yikou looked back at Jiang Weixi, who was getting farther and farther away, and walked towards Zhao Er, "Don't go into the mountain, he will solve the internal emergency." ”
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Weixi suddenly stepped on the ground. Yes, yes, he is in a hurry, eager to help you surrender to the court!
Zhao Er doesn't doubt that he has him, these days he is also familiar with the Yamen, and he is not angry when he sees Xie Yikou, "That's good, those mountain bandits don't know what's going on, they just run away, and they have to kill a horse pistol, and they rely on our Qingfeng County." I don't know when I'll get them out. ”
Xie Yikou nodded with a serious face, "You're right, drive the mountain bandits out as soon as possible, so that everyone can live in peace." ”
"Isn't it!" Zhao Er scratched his chin, the door of the school opened over there, and the junior brother of the Zhao family saw his second brother at a glance, "Brother!" Homecoming! ”
"Huh! Know! Zhao Er replied casually, and then said goodbye to Xie Yikou.
More than a dozen students left the school in twos and threes, Xie Yikou glanced in the direction Jiang Weixi left, and walked towards the yamen while stretching his waist.
A few days later, Song Hanshu's wind chill was cured, and the first thing he did when he returned to the yamen was to find Dongxue, and politely thanked him again. Very sincere, but Dongxue stomped his feet and ran.
At that time, Wen Zhesang sat under the peach tree and read the file, and saw Song Hanshu's face full of sadness, and when he asked, he looked at the peach blossom tree with a word.
The falling flowers are intentional, and the flowing water is ruthless......
Song Hanshu looked at her with a very puzzled expression, could it be ...... Winter Snow Girl actually dislikes him?
"My lord! My lord! Yes, there are ...... No, no, there is a mountain ......" The porter suddenly stammered over, his face full of horror, and he couldn't say a word.
"What's the alarm?" Wen Yan stepped forward to help him and saved him from the doom of wrestling.
The porter calf trembled in a desperate voice and said, "Mountain bandits! The bandits are coming! ”
As he finished saying this, a face emerged from the yamen, a young man with a pleasant face.
"Alas, it's all said, we're here to make peace." Bailisong raised his hands and hands to indicate that he was not in danger. "Your Excellency won't let us in and sit?"
Wen Zhesang couldn't figure out what these mountain bandits were thinking, anyway, she was the first time she had seen the mountain bandits who had invited herself into the yamen to sit down. But people are coming, and they keep saying that they are coming to make peace, so she can't turn people away anyway.
"Please come in." As Wen Zhesang spoke, he saw not only Baili Song come in, but also a dozen or so people behind him who came in with a few boxes of gifts. In this way, it is simply a copy of Shang Jinquan half a month ago.
"Wait." Wen Zhesang said, "It's good for people to come in, and things don't have to come in." ”
When Baili Song heard it, he immediately responded, "The adults are honest, and they really live up to their reputation." ”
A group of mermaids rushed in, and Xie Yikou, Wen Yan, and Wen Zhi consciously stepped forward to check whether they had hidden murder weapons. Those mountain bandits also cooperated, without a word of complaint, only Baili Song stared at Wen Zhesang inexplicably.
After a while, the examination was completed, and indeed there was not a single murder weapon. But because of this, Wen Zhisang's eyebrows frowned even tighter, she only knew that there was an Eagle Village in Xia Qingshan nearby, and the Eagle Village was burning, killing and looting in Qingfeng County, and doing all kinds of evil. According to the laws of the imperial court, such murderers are determined to be eliminated, but they are now opening their mouths to make peace, if they agree, then who can the people of Qingfeng County ask for justice for the suffering they have suffered?
After a long time, Wen Zhesang raised his head, "Who are you?" ”
Baili Song said with a smile: "In the next compound surname Baili, a single ode word, loved by the brothers, has to be called the fourth master." ”
Wen Zhesang looked at them, "Are you here to negotiate peace today?" But you have done many evil things in Qingfeng County......"
"Wait!" Baili Song was inexplicable, "My lord's words really wronged us, we only came to this Qingfeng County a few days ago, where will we do anything evil?" ”
Wen Zhesang was also strange, "You are not from Xiaqing Mountain Eagle Village?" ”
"It's really in Kasumigami Castle Hill right now." Baili Song smiled and said, "But the Eagle Village that the adults said has long been uprooted by us." This should also be regarded as eliminating harm for the people. ”
"Maverick!" Wen Zhesang called out to the porter, "Didn't you say that you had seen the mountain bandits in Eagle Village?" You see, aren't these people? ”
The calf was still hiding behind the catchers, and only after hearing this did he come out, he looked at a few people carefully, and shook his head blankly, "Back to the adults, the little ones haven't seen these people." But there are so many people in Eagle Village, how can the small ones recognize them all? If these mountain bandits pick a few faces, then, who knows if what they say is true or not! ”
Baili Song said good-naturedly: "Little brother is right, details determine success or failure." We have come here in a hurry, and it is indeed unexpected. But the heart of wanting to make peace with the imperial court is absolutely true. If you don't believe me, tomorrow we will bring the head of the bandit eagle again, so that the adults can rest assured, and the people of the county can rest assured. ”
The eagle is the owner of the Eagle Village, his face has been seen by many people, if these people can really take out the head of the eagle, then the Eagle Village should indeed be destroyed.
While Wen Zhesang was thinking, Song Hanshu also came up with a countermeasure, "I believe that you have the head of the eagle in your hands, but it is entirely possible that his death was due to the infighting in the Eagle Village. And if you are really not the mountain bandits of Xia Qingshan, then what are you doing to destroy the Eagle Village desperately and then make peace with the imperial court? ”
Bailisong narrowed his eyes and sighed in his heart. He said, "What's wrong with being a bandit?" What do you want to talk about? Is...... It's hard to speak!
Baili Song looked around, looked at everyone, and then said leisurely: "Let's put it this way, we have a grudge against Eagle Village, and the Eagle killed a few of our brothers, and we are old, so we led our brothers to kill them." After breaking up the Eagle Village, I heard that there was a Qing official in the county, and the boss didn't want our brothers to continue to live a life of licking blood on the tip of the knife, so he wanted to make peace with the court. It's also good to let the brothers be good people. ”
Seven points of truth and three points of falsehood in these words made Baili Song almost believe it.
Wen Zhisang thought for a moment and said: "Since you are mountain bandits, you should have had a stronghold in the past, if you have done something harmful to heaven and reason in the past......
Baili Song hurriedly corrected the name of his village: "My lord Mingjian, our leader has already dismissed the outlaws in the village, and now those who are left are brothers who want to live a stable life. Otherwise, there are no soldiers and no generals in this Qingfeng County, and the adults are new officials taking office, why don't I rob Qingfeng County and leave again? Why bother to surrender to adults? ”
This is indeed true, Wen Zhesang believes that no mountain bandit will be bored enough to joke about these things. However, she didn't agree immediately, but first reassured: "This matter is serious, and this official needs to think about it for a few days." The matter of the Eagle Village, the official will also send someone to investigate thoroughly, so you should go back first. If you really have the heart to surrender to the court, this official will not embarrass you. ”
Baili Song breathed a sigh of relief, and showed a smile again, "Then wait for the good news of the adults." ”
