Chapter 69: Please go to the county office
Chaotic footsteps descended from the mountain, breaking the seemingly relaxed and tense scene here.
Some of the bandits' bodies were brought down.
Yuanji and others were the main force, and the officers and soldiers were more supervisors than helping.
Probably because the corpses of the bandits were searched together, the attitude of the generals who came down the mountain became very polite: "This is far away from the county seat, and the bandits are hidden deeply, and the county doesn't know that they are doing evil here, which disturbs Mrs. Wu Shao." ”
Zhang Xiaoqian testified for his hometown on the side: "Yes, these bandits came suddenly, and we didn't have them here. ”
The general glanced at Zhang Xiaoqian, Zhang Xiaoqian had a big revenge at this time and rescued his wife, he was excited and didn't notice anything unusual, but Li Minglou could see that the general had murderous intent in his eyes.
emphasized that these thieves came suddenly, which made the generals feel weak as thieves.
"The incident happened suddenly, we are eager to save people, please forgive me for not informing you." Li Minglou is still very polite.
The general's gaze looked at the woman: "Mrs. Wu." ”
The woman bowed her head slightly, but did not speak.
Li Minglou said: "She is not in good health, and she is frightened again. ”
The general immediately said, "Quickly invite the ladies to the county to rest." ”
Li Minglou looked at the woman, a little embarrassed: "We have to rush to the capital, and we have been delayed for some time, but I am afraid that the old governor of Liang will be worried." ”
"We can ask the post soldiers to send a message to the old governor of Liang." The general said sincerely, "Mrs. Wu is frightened here, please rest well, and then let the doctor take a look, we must personally escort Mrs. to feel at ease." ”
"They're all soldiers, and I'm causing you trouble." Li Minglou said, without refusing, "Since this is the case, I will disturb your county." ”
The general was overjoyed to let the officers and soldiers escort Li Minglou and his party back to the city, and also thanked Yuanji and others for continuing to help: "Your task is to escort Mrs. Wu, and the bandits here will be handed over to us to deal with." ”
The general also asked Zhang Xiaoqian to bring these rescued women back to the county seat: "They are witnesses to the evil deeds of the bandits, and they told the evil deeds of the bandits, and the county ordered them to arrange for them to return to their relatives." ”
As a county officer, Zhang Xiaoqian is very familiar with this process, and he should hold his head high.
The generals did not forget the brave villagers: "You have made meritorious efforts to suppress bandits, and the county commander will definitely see you." ”
Without asking for a reward, it was already a great honor to see the county magistrate, and the villagers followed Zhang Xiaoqian excitedly.
Li Minglou looked at the generals and officials in an orderly manner, and all these people who needed to be eliminated were gathered together, and no one cared about the dead corpses.
There is a Li Minglou that cannot be forgotten.
"We have a handmaiden." Li Minglou said to the general, pointing to the bodies of the murdered women carried down from the mountain, "The loyal and brave Savior sacrificed her life, we will take her away and bury her." ”
Of course, the general will not embarrass a dead person, Yuan Ji led someone to put away the body of the bird, and the group of people left here under the escort of the officers and soldiers and headed for the county seat, the general stood at the foot of the mountain and watched, until he could not see the figure, his face sank.
"My lord, there is no living mouth on the mountain." A lieutenant stepped forward and whispered.
Although it is the conclusion of his own people, the generals still have to ensure that nothing goes wrong: "Is the number of people right?" ”
The adjutant general looked embarrassed: "The fire is too big, and the bones are no longer clear." ”
The people who were burning in the fire couldn't figure it out, and those weapons were also covered under the fire, which was the most important thing, and after checking it in person, the general's heart was much calmer, and he was also very impressed: "They can self-immolate to cover up secrets, and they are worthy of being carefully selected by Governor An Xiaodu." ”
If this kind of arrangement can be made, even if there is a living mouth, he will escape and report the news, as long as it does not fall into the hands of those people.
The adjutant general said in a low voice: "Are they really Zhenwu Army? ”
The general looked at the corpses of the bandits piled up on the side, and the fatal wounds on them were cruel and sharp, which was not something that ordinary guards or dart masters could do: "It is better to believe it than not to believe it, Zhenwu Army is better to say, Liang Zhen in the capital should not be taken lightly." ”
Liang Zhen is also famous for Da Zhou, and the deputy general looks a little disdainful and funny: "That old thing is a joke for the rest of his life." ”
The general was not as shallow as the adjutant general, and sneered: "He's just a joke in front of Li Feng'an, and his status as a temperance envoy is not a joke." ”
The adjutant general was ashamed to respond.
"Especially now that Lee Bong-an is dead, Liang Zhen has a chance to prove that he is not a joke." The general said quietly, "This old thing is a cat now, and we can't let him smell fishy." ”
The adjutant general was convinced: "My lord is thoughtful. ”
"Wu Ya'er was pulled up by Liang Zhen's hand, and she was spoiled like an illegitimate child, and Wu Ya'er also relied on Liang Zhen to be powerful and powerful in the Zhenwu Army, and her bosses were very troubled and helpless." The general pondered, "It's not strange that Liang Zhen wants to drink his wedding wine and see his mother and daughter-in-law. ”
The adjutant general was surprised by another thing: "Isn't Wu Ya'er an orphan?" Haven't you heard of a mother and daughter-in-law? ”
The general looked at the rocks, and seemed to see the woman and woman sitting before, and his expression was thorough: "A blind madman, a person who is not a ghost or a ghost, if you have such a mother and daughter-in-law, you will also tell the world that you are an orphan." ”
He didn't want to think about it anymore.
"Aren't they going to the capital to deliver a letter, we'll send someone to find out."
When twilight fell, Li Minglou and his entourage walked to the county seat, and Wang Zhi, the county commander of Dou County, had already received the news in advance and greeted them at the gate of the county seat.
The county order officers dispersed the people on the street, and Li Minglou's pedestrians did not attract onlookers, and they entered the county office quietly and smoothly.
The villagers and the rescued women were resettled by Zhang Xiaoqian, and Wang Zhi personally arranged for Li Minglou.
Wang Zhi is a man in his forties, and he has nothing to say to the little girl, and he can't talk to the crazy woman, so the entertainment is handed over to Yuanji.
Wang Zhi did not hold his identity as a county official, let alone look down on a martial artist, and warmly entertained Yuan Ji by expressing his respect for Liang Zhen, and put wine and food to express his apology and shock, and drank until both of them were drunk before leaving.
The drunken Wang Zhi returned to his inner house, and what was waiting for him was not a beautiful wife and concubine, but a thin scribe with a beard.
"What a self-inflicted cleverness!" The scribe's face was full of anger, "Governor An Xiaodu arranged for them to pretend to be thieves, not to let them really be thieves. ”
Wang Zhi, who was full of alcohol, did not have the slightest drunkenness in his eyes: "It was originally good for them to do this, they had to be like anything if they pretended, of course the thieves wanted to rob and plunder and endanger the neighbors, but they were unlucky, who would have thought that robbing a random woman would be Wu Ya'er's mother and daughter-in-law." ”
The scribe's small eyes were suspicious: "I personally asked the rescued women, and the woman was locked up with them and did not say that she was Wu Ya'er's mother, but only that her daughter-in-law would go to the government to reassure everyone." ”
"Can anyone in our government call anything at will? To be so sure is naturally a good idea. Wang Zhixin said, "What's more, that's a crazy fool, what he says is upside down, just listen to it." ”
"Dewey said that the family general told him that they were kidnapped on the way, and they were caught off guard, so they only escorted the woman to escape, and the woman and maidservant were arrested, and they came to Zhangjiazhuang to rest, and then they went up the mountain with the villagers to suppress the bandits and save people." The scribe stretched out his hand and pinched his mustache and squinted, "Zhang Xiaoqian and the villagers also corroborated that this group entered the village in the middle of the night, did the general ask anything?" ”
"That general knows Liang Zhen very well, and I haven't heard many things he said." Wang Zhi rubbed the smell of wine on his face.
What he doesn't know, naturally he doesn't know whether it's true or not.
"Dewey said that they were going to send a letter to Liang Zhen, and they would find out if it was true or not." Wang Zhi was not interested in discussing this again, so he yawned lazily, "Before finding out, leave them in the county office, and if they are indeed Wu Ya'er's relatives, let them go." ”
"If not, they don't have to go."
"Of course, the premise of all this is that they really haven't discovered our secrets here."
"If they know anything, don't say that they are Wu Ya'er's relatives, even if they are Liang Zhen's relatives, don't think about leaving Dou County alive."
