The gongs and drums in Dou County were noisy, and the front gate of the county government that was not allowed to stay and stop in the past was crowded with people, colorful flags were displayed, and there were plaques hanging red silk that were carried to the front.
I don't know who did it first, but the discerning businessmen in Dou County followed suit, and they didn't have a chance to do this kind of thing before when they wanted to do it for the county lord.
Wang Zhi walked out, and he didn't know who gave the order, the shouts of the Qingtian Lord were like rolling waves, Wang Zhi was almost beaten back, but fortunately, there were scribes and officials behind him.
Wang Zhi stood firm to appease the people, and conveyed in an official tone the story of the bandits' rebellion and the extermination of the bandits.
"This is the 18th Regiment of the Zhewei Army stationed in our Dou County, and Dewey Du Regiment is training." Wang Zhi introduced the heroes behind him, "It was he who exterminated the bandits." ”
"Lord Du is mighty." Someone in the crowd shouted.
And so the joy rolled.
Dewey waved his hand: "The corpse of the bandit has been shipped." ”
With his order, the officers and soldiers pulled a cartload of piled up bandit corpses and piled them up in the open space in front of the county government to show the public.
It's comparable to watching a headshot.
You can't see it once a year in a small place in Dou County.
Almost all the people of the whole county flocked here, and more people from outside the city rushed to hear the news, and there were some obvious countrymen, who were not curious and happy, and all of them were tearful and red-eyed.
"Thank you, Lord Qingtian." They shouted, "Save my wife and daughter." ”
It turned out that the families of the rescued women heard the news and came to them, standing in front of the piled up of bandit corpses, they angrily told how the bandits killed people and set fires, and now it is useless to trap those villager women, Wang Zhi let them all come out, the rescued women reunited with their families and hugged their heads and cried, and the women who died were also carried out, and the family members cried in grief.
There are witnesses and physical evidence, Dou County is really a very vicious bandit, the people of Dou County no longer have any doubts, and then look at the mountain of bandit corpses, grieving villagers, dead victims, and have palpitations, and the gratitude of those merchants who join in the excitement has become sincere.
The traders are more afraid of the scourge of the bandits.
The people once again set off wave after wave of shouts to thank Lord Qingtian.
Wang Zhi and Dewey were not greedy for merit, so they invited Yuan Ji out and introduced him as the greatest contributor to the suppression of bandits.
According to Li Minglou's instructions, Yuan Ji simply stated that he was a Zhenwu army, and it was a coincidence that he passed by here to receive his family and family reunion.
This is enough to solve the doubts of the people, it turns out that the nobles greeted by the county lord are helping to suppress the bandits.
"They were also robbed by bandits." Zhang Xiaoqian took the initiative to explain.
There was also the old man of the village that night to add, how did the rainy night float like an immortal, and at dawn he left two silver taels to comfort the suffering villagers, and then went to suppress the bandits, including the master mother herself.
"The mistress is sick." The old man sighed faintly.
There are shocks, sorrows and legends, and the people listen to them more fascinatingly.
The Chinese New Year has never been so lively, and this scene will definitely be recorded in the county annals.
Standing in the crowd, the middle five pulled down his hat, and the matter was known to everyone, and the safety of the rescued woman and the villagers who participated in the rescue was guaranteed, and he motioned for his companions to turn around and go out, and as he walked, there were inconspicuous water droplets in the crowd like a sea of people seeping out from all places.
After the hustle and bustle of the day, the merchants of the prefecture will set off fireworks to celebrate, and the night will be lively again.
Wang Zhi invited Li Minglou to watch: "It is very quiet on the city gate, and the lady and the young lady will not be disturbed." ”
A crazy fool and a person with a damaged appearance did not dare to come out to meet people during the day, and he arranged very considerate arrangements so that they did not have to face the people.
Li Minglou did not refuse, and took the blind woman with him.
"How do you see with a blind eye?" Kumquat asked Fang Er in a low voice.
Fang Er said: "Look at it carefully." ”
Kumquat pouted, a wood-like coachman also spoke Zen, and then when the fireworks outside the city were set off, he saw Li Minglou holding the woman and whispering to her, what color and what it looks like, this is a golden-purple lotus, and that is a broken white pearl.
Kumquat laughed, the things described by the young lady were much more expensive than fireworks, and I didn't know if the woman could understand it.
The woman didn't say she didn't understand, but looked up at the night sky with a smile on her face, as if she really saw it.
"The merchants in this Dou County are quite rich." Kumquat laughed from the side.
It seems to be an inconspicuous small town that is far away, and the fireworks are not inferior to those seen in Gangneung Province, where fireworks can only be seen during the New Year's holidays.
Li Minglou looked up at the night sky, she often saw fireworks, Miss Minglou in Taiyuan Mansion often set off fireworks, this is a grand event for the people of Taiyuan Mansion, they will bring their families to watch, and there are rich men and women who sit on the ground with fine wine for fun.
"Ladies and gentlemen, enjoy the fireworks, the fireworks are really charming." Wang Zhi said with a smile.
Wang Zhi suddenly felt that he was very generous, and this way of seeing off was unprecedentedly elegant.
Li Minglou turned his head to look at him: "Yes, please enjoy it, my lord." ”
"The young lady is polite." Wang Zhi laughed.
"You're welcome." Li Minglou returned the salute.
The celebration and fireworks ended, and on the second day, Li Minglou proposed to set off, and this time Wang Zhi did not force him to stay.
"The doctor has treated me, and I am also at ease." He said kindly, "The lady's trip can't be delayed any longer, so as not to worry about the old governor of Liang, but please don't refuse, please let us send someone to escort you to the capital, after all, it is an accident within the jurisdiction of the government, and I will show my heart." ”
Li Minglou did not refuse, took the woman to the car, and left Dou County under the escort of a team of officers and soldiers, Wang Zhi personally sent it to the city gate, and the people who got the news also came to see it off.
In order to catch up with the journey, they walked very fast, and at dusk they were reluctant to find a nearby place to stay, but continued to walk, until late at night, when they stopped at a ruined temple on the side of the road and simply settled down.
The surrounding area is deserted, the wind is high in the middle of the night, and the ruined temple with fire lit inside and outside is like an oil lamp that is about to die, attracting moths in the night.
The chatter of the chariot and horse people could no longer be heard in the wind.
Dewey, who was lying in the ravine, moved his aching shoulders.
"Your Excellency." Someone slid over next to him.
They were now wearing ordinary clothes, and there was no sound of armor colliding, but Dewey was still startled and scolded, "Be quiet." ”
The adjutant general smiled: "My lord is so cautious." ”
"Their guards are the Raven Army." Dewey was proud of his prudence.
The adjutant general didn't care: "Even if it's a crow army, our people have already lit incense inside, and they can't fly even if they have wings." He listened to the sound in the wind, "There is no movement anymore." ”
Footsteps came from a distance, and he was brought in, and he could be seen in the dark night wearing his military uniform.
"My lord, it's all arranged." He whispered, "I came out by peeing on shifts." ”
Dewey was still cautious and had to wait a little longer.
"Wait until dawn." The lieutenant urged in a low voice.
Only then did Dewey spit out the withered grass in his mouth, and with an order, nearly a hundred people jumped out of the ground and rushed towards the ruined temple from all sides.
