As soon as Zeng Xiangguo returned to the mansion, his face was a little gloomy, and he only drank half a bowl of rice porridge and returned to the study.

Since that time in the palace, Zeng Yu has not fully recovered, he can't drink alcohol and eat meat, and he can only eat some liquid food that warms his stomach every day, which makes Zeng Yu's body more and more weak.

But there was no way, he didn't want to eat meat now, and since he vomited, he was sick to his stomach when he saw something greasy.

The root of the disease has fallen.

Looking at the candle flame in a silent daze, he actually let Qin Guan be promoted again, originally thought that he would be driven to the bitter cold of the border in the poor countryside of Xiongzhou, and with his own protégé suppressing him, life must be very difficult.

But he also watched today's recital, but he didn't expect this Qin Guan to be in the thick of Xiongzhou.

No, you have to suppress him, you can't give him a chance to raise his head.

Immediately spread out a piece of rice paper, wrote a letter, called the next person, and sent it to Ohara Mansion as soon as possible.

Qin Guan didn't know what was happening in the capital thousands of miles away, and at this moment he was studying with Xiong Da Xiong Er which gang of bandits to attack next.

Xiong Da said: "Now that there are large-scale bandits, there are still Muya Village, Tianwang Mountain and Golden Eagle Eagle, we don't know where the Golden Eagle Horse Bandit is stationed, we have sent people to investigate, and the situation of Muya Village and Tianwang Mountain has been clarified." ”

"There are about 300 people in Muya Village, and more than 400 people in Tianwang Mountain, young master, see which one we fight first."

Qin looked at the topographic map and said, "Anyway, we have to destroy it, which one is close to fight which one first." ”

Just then, an announcement came from outside the door.

A scribe came in, holding a letter in both hands and handing it to Qin Guan, "My lord, a letter from Xiongzhou." ”

Qin Guan took it and opened it, and found that it was a letter written by Xu Tongjuan to himself, telling Qin Guan that the time for this year's imperial examination had arrived, and the Admiral Xuezheng Shi Tong had arrived in Xiongzhou, and he was very sorry that he did not see Qin Guan.

Xu Tong asked Qin Guan when he would go back and needed him to preside over the Xiongzhou Academy Examination.

Thinking of that stone, Qin Guan felt a chill behind him for no reason.

The old rabbit, who was pulling himself at the beginning, had to have a long talk with himself and fell asleep.

I also deceived myself about several calligraphy.

He didn't go to the seven or eight prefectures of Dayuan Mansion, he had to go to Xiongzhou, it seemed that he still didn't want to let himself go, just now Qin Guan was still thinking, he had come out to suppress bandits for a month, should he go back to Xiongzhou to rest, but now it seems that he can't go back.

Immediately wrote a letter and asked the scribe to send someone back, telling Xu Qing to entertain Shi Xuezheng well and arrange the trial work of the academy, he is now at the critical moment of suppressing bandits, and if he can't go back, everything will be arranged by Shi Tong.

The scribe had just taken the letter and left, when someone outside reported it.

It was a small colonel who came in, and after a military salute, the small colonel said: "Lord Prefect, there is a person outside the barracks who claims to be Muya Village, saying that he asked to see Lord Prefect, and he was controlled by us. ”

Qin Guan was stunned, Mu Ya Zhai, who was still discussing how to exterminate them just now, now sent someone to see him.

Xiong Da asked, "How many people, what is the origin?" ”

"There was a person here, in his thirties, who claimed to be the third master of Muya Village, named Cui Fang." The Colonel replied.

Qin Guan thought for a moment, "Bring him to see me." ”

Cui Fang was escorted into the big tent by several box soldiers, and when he saw Qin Guan wearing a red-robed official robe on the main seat, he knelt down directly.

"The sinner Cui Fang has seen the prefect."

Qin looked at the man in his thirties in front of him, his appearance was very ordinary, his cheekbones were slightly high, and he had a resolute look, and asked, "What do you want to see this official?" ”

Cui Fang hurriedly said: "My lord, I came to surrender on behalf of Muyazhai, and I hope that my lord will give Muyazhai 500 people a way to live." ”

"My lord, in fact, we are not thieves in Muyazhai, but because of the forced life, according to the mountain, during the Shenzong Dynasty, there were officials who paid heavy taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and finally they were overwhelmed, so they brought people into the mountains."

Qin Guan listened to his story and asked, "Don't tell me that you haven't done any robbery. ”

The third master lowered his head, "My lord, we did rob the merchants, but we have not harmed the poor people, nor have we been enemies of the official family, just to survive, my lord, we are willing to surrender, I only hope that the adults can spare the old and the young." ”

Qin Guan thought for a while and said: "If you want to live, you can, but you have to show sincerity, tomorrow I want to see everyone in Muya Village appear in Bailipo." ”

Qin Guan did not make any guarantees, and then let the three masters go back.

This night, the people of Muya Village stayed awake all night, and the current big boss, that is, Ji Rugang, the son of the original old master, called all the people in charge of the cottage to discuss and decide the future fate of the cottage.

The second master said: "Big brother, the prefect only said that we should surrender, but if we are all killed at that time, we are not unjustly killed, it is better to fight with them, or simply run to Liao." ”

Cui Fang, the third master, said: "We can't run away, for the sake of the old and the young, we can only fight." ”

The people below have different opinions, and Ji Rugang is also very entangled, he doesn't want to go to Liao, but if the government doesn't let them go, it will harm everyone.

"Alright, you all go down, I'm thinking."

Everyone else went out, and Ji Rugang sat on the chair, holding his forehead with his hand, his eyes slightly closed and thinking about the future.

Sleepless nights.

As soon as the next day dawned, Muyazhai was all dispatched, and more than 500 men, women and children rushed to Bailipo, and Ji Rugang gambled that the government would let the old and young go.

When they came to Bailipo, the people of Muyazhai found that those officers and soldiers had lined up and waited there, and there were a large number of officers and soldiers.

This month's battle has quickly transformed this original peasant soldier into an army, which is very different from a month ago.

Looking at the cottage, there are men, women and children, all with a look of horror on their faces, no different from a group of refugees.

Ji Rugang made up his mind, rode to the direction of the army, and when he came to the front of the army, he saw a young face in the direction of the main general, a man in civilian clothes, and several generals wearing general armor to escort him.

Ji Rugang dismounted, walked to the front and knelt down on one knee, "The sinner Ji Rugang brought 518 people from Muya Village to surrender." ”

After speaking, he raised his head and looked at Qin Guan with a calm face.

Qin Guan said: "What do you think I should do with you." ”

Ji Rugang gritted his teeth and said, "I only ask the adults to let go of the old and young of Muya Village, and we are the sinners, and let the adults fall." ”

Qin Guan said: "You can also see the way forward, I will give you a chance, all the old and young will move into Xiongzhou City to live, and those who can fight will join the Xiang army." ”

After Ji Rugang heard this, his heart was ecstatic, he looked up at Qin Guan, and said in disbelief: "Really, my lord." ”

"Why, you don't want to."

"Yes, willingly, from now on, Ji Rugang will be driven by the prefect."
