Zhou Zhiren was so anxious that he fainted, and when he woke up, he was seriously ill, and it was two months later.

However, the next day, the whole county was plastered with notices, detailing the evil deeds of Zhou Zhiren and Qin Shengcai and the reason for the destruction of the door, of course, it was not signed as Huanglongdong, for a time the people clapped their hands and said that the fast people abounded, and there were even storytellers in the taverns and tea shops who used this as the material and added a few interpretations, and on the contrary, the chief officials and gentry in various places were terrified, for fear that the evil things they did would be retaliated against, and every household patrolled day and night, waiting for Zhou Zhiren to move troops to come.

At the end of March of the second year of Baoyun, Emperor Li Zhi issued an edict with a deadline of six months, and all nobles, families and landlords with a family property of more than 3 million taels were relocated to the Inner History, and a new city was built next to Dacheng City to settle the families.

At the same time, the Taihua School Palace was built in the internal history, specifically teaching the county guards, the descendants of the captains, all those who are not more than 30 years old, need to enter the palace to study, the school system is three years, and the deadline is half a year to report, and the elders of the family who do not arrive will be dismissed on the spot, and they will be punished for the crime of rebellion. A list of counties was also given.

For a time, the powerful people in the world were full of indignation.

Although Yu Xiaoyu was on the mountain, he also heard the news, thinking of what Song Rentou said to him, he knew that the chaos in the world was not far away, but it was too late to think about it for the time being, this harvest was quite rich, in addition to a large amount of grain and grass and silver, he also harvested a lot of pig iron and blades, and at this moment, the Yellow Dragon Cave was in full swing to build weapons, a busy scene.

On the second day of the incident, Zhou Zhiren sent someone to report to the Sanchuan County Shoufu, and asked Sanchuan County Shou Zhou to send troops to suppress the bandits, but he also arrived with the emperor's edict, and Zhou Weifu had no time to take care of it for a while, so he forgot about it.

After the father and son of the Yang family were caught in the capital by Li Chengqian, there was a vacancy in Sanchuan County, this Zhou family is also a big family in Sanchuan, Zhou Weifu has been serving as the long history of Sanchuan County, after Wang Chao took people to move to the Yang family, Zhou Weifu visited Wang Chao that night, sent a gift money, and issued conditions, Wang Chao recommended a piece of paper, Zhou Weifu became a county guard, Zhou Zhiren is Zhou Weifu's nephew, Neixiang County is five or six hundred miles away from Sanchuan County and Xingyang, and it is close to Woniu Mountain, bandits are rampant, although it is a place where no one wants to come, but at that time Zhou Weifu was a long history, It took a lot of effort to win this position for Zhou Zhiren. Zhou Zhiren has not lived up to his wishes, and he has paid a lot of tribute over the years, and the relationship between the two is quite close.

After such a delay, Zhou Weifu received Zhou Zhiren's report after two months, and then he remembered that his whole family had been killed, and he hurriedly consulted with Duwei Wang Chao.

"General Wang, the whole family of Neixiang County was killed by evil bandits, these bandits are really rampant, and I have to ask you to send troops to suppress the bandits." Zhou Weifu looked sad and said bitterly.

"The county guard doesn't need to panic, the bandits can still turn the sky upside down, this Neixiang county order is also a straw bag, the bandits enter the county seat in broad daylight, I really don't know how to be the county order." Wang Chao had heard about it a long time ago, and he knew that Zhou Zhiren was Zhou Weifu's nephew, and he also had an idea in his heart, the money your nephew looted went into your pocket, and let me suppress the bandits when I was in trouble, how could it be so easy.

"I can't hide it, this Neixiang county order is my nephew, alas, my nephew is dedicated to the people and to ensuring the safety of the place, so he caused such a disaster, it's really pitiful." Zhou Weifu heard what Wang Chao meant, and hurriedly explained.

"Lord Zhou, this Zhou county order is dedicated to the people, and I should have immediately ordered troops to suppress the bandits, but you also know that His Majesty's edict has been issued for two months, and the big people in Sanchuan County have not made a sound, if there is a trouble, I am also embarrassed, the already overstretched troops, if something happens again, I can't afford it." Wang Chao doesn't see a rabbit and doesn't scatter eagles, how can he let him run errands for you in just a few words.

"Besides, this inner countryside is remote, the journey is tiring, the sergeants must have complained, it's only not long after the spring, it's still early before the summer harvest, and the grain and grass are not good, I don't think it's better to wait for the autumn, I will send heavy troops to annihilate this gang of bandits in one fell swoop." Wang Chao also said with an embarrassed face.

Zhou Weifu still didn't understand, what to do without silver, so he said a few words of greeting at the moment and left.

As soon as he returned to the mansion, he wrote a letter to Zhou Zhiren, to the effect that he would send money quickly, and Wang Duwei would have no soldiers if he had no money.

When Zhou Zhiren received the letter, he gritted his teeth angrily, I am a dignified court official, and I used to have a lot of filial piety, but now that my whole family has been killed, the bandits have to pay for it themselves, not to mention that all my net worth has been robbed, isn't this embarrassing.

There is no way, the bandits have to be suppressed, otherwise the majesty of this county order will be gone, how can they regather the family business.

It's still Hongyu Building, but this time it's not a big feast.

In the box on the second floor of Hongyu Building, Zhou Zhiren sat on the main seat with a gloomy face, looked at more than a dozen landlords and old wealth, turned the wine glass in his hand, and said fiercely: "This is not only related to the safety of the county, but also closely related to you. ”

It turns out that this head and face gathered to Hongyu Building, it is to discuss how to suppress bandits, Zhou Zhiren's meaning is very clear, everyone here either take money, or people, in short, to destroy this bandit, in the past, most of the bandits were people to make some money, go through the motions, but this time I know, I don't know if I go through the motions, the money will definitely not be less, who called the county order to be robbed!

"Qin Yong, tell me about the situation of this group." Zhou Zhiren turned his head to look at Qin Yong who was standing on the side.

"Yes, sir. This gang of thieves is the bandits of the Huanglong Cave of Woniu Mountain, the big boss is the son of a blacksmith in the county named Zhang Biao, but the leader is a person named Yu Xiaoyu, this person is of unknown origin, but it is said that the martial arts are strong, treacherous and cunning. At present, it is not known how many people are in the Yellow Dragon Cave. "Qin Yong has a deep hatred for the Yellow Dragon Cave, and he has been looking for clues for the past few months, and finally determined that the Yellow Dragon Cave did it.

"I don't know how many taels of silver you want to raise and how many people you will gather?" One stood up and said respectfully. This person is the king landlord of the Wangjiazhuang.

"If you send people, each family will gather 200 people, and if you pay money, each family will have 2,000 taels." Zhou Zhiren looked at these people and said.

"Ah, this is too much" As soon as Zhou Zhiren's voice fell, everyone present exclaimed, although these people are landlords, but more land, houses and grain, it is very good to accumulate 10,000 taels of silver at home, and take out 2,000 taels at once, which is more painful than asking for their lives.

"My lord, my house has just been robbed by thieves, and I can't get any silver, so I am willing to recruit three hundred people to help my lord suppress the bandits." The landlord took the lead and said.

"Okay, Wang Lao is a happy person, if you kill the thief, I will return the silver taels you were robbed to you first!" Zhou Zhiren said happily.

Seeing the landlord of the king, although the rest of the people were very embarrassed, they also responded, but everyone knew in their hearts that the last time was the Huanglongdong to seek revenge, although they were also worried about being robbed, but they did not provoke them, the landlord was not just robbed of some grain, grass and silver, so they were lucky, and they couldn't help bargaining, and finally Zhou Zhiren raised 1,500 soldiers and 8,000 taels of money.

"My lord, this soldier is there, but the county lieutenant can't be found today, I don't know who is in charge?" The landlord said worriedly.

Speaking of this county lieutenant, Zhou Zhiren was angry, this guy must have also received a letter from Wang Chao, and today he was invited to discuss the matter, this guy actually said that his stomach hurts, but Zhou Zhiren is very angry.

Wang Chao has been the governor of Sanchuan County since he became the governor of Sanchuan County, although the county commander did not intervene, but the county lieutenant under him has been replaced, and now the counties are suppressing bandits and people, all of them have to look at the face of the county lieutenant, this county order is in front of Zhang Luo, and the county lieutenant is lying in the back to count the silver, which is really annoying.

"Hmph, the county lieutenant has a stomach disease, and he can't go in person to suppress the bandits, these people are led by the head of the Qin capital." Zhou Zhiren said angrily.

"My lord, although Qin Dutou is strong in martial arts and thoughtful, but there are many people this time, and people who know how to be strategic, recently we have a strong man in the store, not to mention the high level of martial arts, and he is also proficient in the art of war and strategy, my lord may wish to test it and see if this person is available." One stood up and said loudly.

Zhou Zhiren looked up and saw that it was the golden shopkeeper of Wanyuan Pawnshop, so he asked, "Where did this person come from, and what is his surname?" ”

"Lord Hui, this person's name is Niu Xiaoniu, he was hired by our headquarters in the capital, and in half a month, we will take stock and escort the items to the capital, and this person is in charge of escorting. A letter from the capital said that this man was strong in martial arts, and he studied under a general, and he was very capable, so let us listen to his arrangement. The golden shopkeeper said immediately.

In fact, this gold shopkeeper is not recommended for no reason, once the Qin family is finished, there is only one Qin Yong left, it is not a big deal to offend him, if his father is still there, the gold shopkeeper will never dare, and secondly, he will see that the landlord Wang is actively close to Zhou Zhiren, and the gold shopkeeper also wants to hug Zhou Zhiren's thighs, if Niu Xiaoniu can show his skills this time, so that Zhou Zhiren will value it, Qin Yong's head will definitely be changed, and then the county will have its own people, and it will be more convenient to do things.

"Okay, the headquarters in the capital are all praised, hurry up and take a look." Zhou Zhiren was overjoyed.

After a while, the guy led Niu Xiaoxing in, and it turned out that the golden shopkeeper had expected it and arranged for Niu Xiaoniu to wait on the first floor in advance.

"Meet Lord Zhou." Niu Xiaoniu entered the door, looked at Zhou Zhiren, and said slightly.

"You're the cow calf?" Zhou Zhiren asked.

"It's Xiaomin." Niu Xiaoniu said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Qin Yong took a look at the back, this cow calf was medium in size, with small eyes, a big mouth, an ordinary appearance, and a thick body, which looked ordinary.

"Will you lead troops into battle?" Zhou Zhiren saw that Niu Xiaoniu was inconspicuous, and he was a little confused in his heart.

"Five thousand at most, I can't bring more." Niu Xiaoniu said flatly.

"Blow you" Niu Xiaoniu's voice just fell, and the room became noisy again.

"Where did the kid come from, I don't know how thick the sky is!" Qin Yong stepped forward, stared at Niu Xiaoniu and shouted.

"Where is the grandson so rude." Niu Xiaoniu squinted his eyes and said lightly.

"You're looking for death!" Qin courage was in a hurry, and he punched Niu Xiaoniu, Niu Xiaoniu did not dodge, and when the fist was about to hit, one turned sideways and slapped on Qin Yong's joints, and then a leg split, kicking Qin Yong's face, Qin Yong's eyes were full of gold stars for a while, and before he came back to his senses, he felt that his stomach had been kicked by someone, and as soon as he bent over in pain, he saw a knee coming over, and with two bangs, Qin Yong's face was covered with blood and fell to the ground.

Qin Yong's brain was buzzing, and as soon as he wanted to get up, he felt that the clothes behind his back were grabbed, and then he flew out with his head and feet, and with a bang, the window shattered, and Qin Yong smashed on the street outside.

The pedestrians on the street suddenly screamed, it turned out that Qin Yong's head was down, and his brain collapsed at this moment.

Before and after the tea effort, one of them was thrown out and fell to death, and everyone was so frightened that they broke into a cold sweat.

"My lord, this person has no grievances with me, the first time we met, he wanted to beat me in front of the adults, and the small people defended themselves, and they missed for a while, and I hope the adults are not strange." Niu Xiaoniu looked at Qin Yong by the window, and then walked in front of Zhou Zhiren and said.

Zhou Zhiren hurriedly walked to the window, just glanced at it, he felt that his abdomen was turned upside down, and he couldn't help but want to vomit, and when he looked up, he saw Niu Xiaoniu squinting and laughing, and quickly pressed it back.

"Alas, this Qin Dutou is too short-tempered, and if he doesn't agree with him, he will fight and kill, which is not a loss of life in vain. Someone came and collected Qin Dutou's body. ”

"Niu Shaoxia, seeing that you are strong in martial arts, and this county lacks a capital, I don't know if you can come to this county on an errand?" Although he was a little afraid of this guy in his heart, there was no one available at this time, and Zhou Zhiren had to make compromises for the time being.

"My lord appreciates it, and I am grateful, but I still have a contract with Wanyuan Pawnshop, and when the contract is completed, I will serve my lord." Niu Xiaoniu said.

"Niu Shaoxia, I already know about the contract, before this, I want Shaoxia to lead the troops to suppress the bandits, I don't know what to do?"

"Thanks to the love of the adults, if you can lead the troops to suppress the bandits, you can't ask for it, but I am a dart now, I don't know how much the adults bid?" Niu Xiaoniu said with a serious face.

"Pay for some labor, you should, how much do you think is appropriate?" Zhou Zhiren scolded Niu Xiaoniu in his heart for not knowing how to lift, it is difficult for many people to want an official body, you dare to raise the price if you have the opportunity, and when you pay the bandit, what do I want you to do, say hello, who is not in a hurry to take the money to buy.

"One thousand taels of silver." Niu Xiaoniu said lightly.

"Okay, Shaoxia is worth the price!" Zhou Zhiren said without changing his face, he had already made up his mind in his heart, wait for the bandits, don't even think about taking a single one, just a dart, there is no background at a glance, dare to open his mouth with my lion, see if I don't kill you!

"A deposit of five hundred taels." Niu Xiaoniu stretched out his palm and spread it in front of Zhou Zhiren.

Zhou Zhiren suppressed his anger, took out the silver ticket he had just raised, handed it to Niu Xiaoniu, and said, "Niu Shaoxia, it's up to you this time." ”

"Take the money to eliminate the disaster, and the adults can rest assured. It's best to get the men and horses together tomorrow, and after three days of drills, I'll set off. After Niu Xiaoniu finished speaking, he turned to leave.

Zhou Zhiren waited for Niu Xiaoniu to go out, squinted at the golden shopkeeper, the golden shopkeeper was so frightened that he was in a cold sweat, and he secretly scolded Niu Xiaoniu in his heart, he didn't give Zhou Daren face, didn't he lift a stone to shoot himself in the foot! Hurriedly secretly made a color, and Zhou Zhiren's face changed slightly.

Everyone exchanged a few more words and left Hongyu Building with their own hearts.
