Soon, He Lingchuan escorted Wang Fatzi into He Chunhua's temporary residence, where there were also two guards left by He Chunhua.

The hostess of the house was also there, trembling as she watched a few people.

He Lingchuan asked her: "The man in this house before was also a bandit?" ”

"The boy and his father have been killed, and the thief who killed a thousand knives is pretending to be him to spy on you." The thief did more than this one to her. The hostess burst into tears, "Ask the official to save our lives!" ”

He Lingchuan sighed: "You go into the house and lock the door, this outside matter has nothing to do with you." ”

The hostess nodded silently and turned to walk into the main house, where everyone heard the metallic sound of the door locking.

He Lingchuan put Wang Fatzi and Zhu Shi in the kitchen, and the five of them guarded the doors and windows, and they all clenched the weapons in their hands.

After a while, footsteps were heard outside.

He Lingchuan listened carefully, there were quite a few people, and his steps were not in a hurry, obviously the people who came over were very steady and did not panic.

What's more, he also heard small broken steps.

This is Mrs. Ying's steps.

He opened the door and stood out.

Sure enough, He Chunhua returned with his wife and children, followed by the escort Zhao Qinghe.

The other person was named Mo Zhe Jingxuan, and He Chunhua also recognized that he was the staff that his father brought back from Blackwater City.

When everyone saw He Lingchuan open the door, they were all stunned. He Chunhua breathed a sigh of relief: "You're back, good, good!" ”

Just after the chaotic battle by the lake, he was worried about his eldest son, who had never shown up.

Then everyone entered, and the guards stood guard to ensure the safety of your lord.

Mrs. Ying asked her eldest son, "Where have you been?" ”

"I got a gift for Daddy." He Lingchuan said, led his father inside, pointed to the fat man on the ground and said, "This fat man is a figure next to Boss Lu, and his status among the bandits is not low. He stayed with the Zhu family, and I was worried that I wouldn't be able to get it back, and it happened that the war was going on by the lake......"

Hearing that this fat man was Lu Han's side, He Chunhua's always tightly locked brows loosened slightly, patted He Lingchuan's shoulder and said, "Well done!" ”

"He has made a preliminary confession that the bandits occupied the town of Qianto the day before yesterday, and now they still have more than 200 accomplices in the town."

"Accomplices?" He Chunhua was stunned.

"The interrogation was interrupted, I can still ......"

Before He Lingchuan finished speaking, He Chunhua interrupted: "No need. I'll leave it to me for the rest of the day. ”

He sent someone to interrogate the fat man, and the Zhu family, who was originally in the kitchen, hurried out.

In the small dining room, there were six or seven people standing now, and she walked straight to He Chunhua and knelt down:

"Lord He, save me!"

This time it was unexpected, and even He Chunhua was stunned.

Mrs. Ying stepped forward to help the woman on the ground and said softly, "Get up and speak." ”

"My name is Zhu Xiu'er, I am the granddaughter of Zhu Xiyan, the Taifu Temple, who was drugged away at the Huachao temple fair in Xin'an seven years ago and sold to a wealthy merchant in Qianhai. His wife was jealous and sold me here in private. ”

She rolled up her sleeves, and there were mottled old wounds on her thin arms, like those left by whiplash: "I have been chased back several times when I escaped, and I have left these behind. Other scars are in obscure places, which is inconvenient to show. ”

Everyone looked at each other and was speechless for a while.

After a while, He Chunhua said in a low voice: "Lord Zhu lost his granddaughter seven or eight years ago, and he searched for a long time without success, and this matter has spread widely in the capital, and Xin'an County Cheng has also lost his official position because of it. However, how do you prove that you are Zhu Xiuer? ”

This kind of "you have to prove that you are you" dilemma is the most worrying.

However, Zhu Xiu'er was obviously prepared, turned around and pulled her hair, and showed everyone the mark on the back of her neck: "This lotus-petal-shaped red mark has been there since she was born in her mother's womb." The first time my grandfather saw it, he said that when I grew up, I would be like a lotus orchid; My grandfather was a good drinker, and he always warmed it under the cooler in the backyard. ”

She paused: "I can tell you everything when I was young, and I can prove everything." ”

Seeing her fluent response and clear conscience, the staff said to He Chunhua: "My lord, this matter is very easy to verify. ”

He Chunhua also nodded: "Okay, you go with us." ”

Zhu was overjoyed and bowed deeply: "Thank you, my lord!" ”

"You've helped us a lot, and we have to thank you for that." He Chunhua waved his hand, "Otherwise, the mountain bandits are still secretly calculating us at this time." ”

He glanced at Mrs. Ying, who understood, stepped forward to take Zhu's hand, and pulled it away to speak.

Hearing that her husband and mother-in-law were killed, and that her two children were taken hostage by mountain bandits, Mrs. Ying sighed: "These villains should be brought to justice. ”

He Lingchuan took out a green apple and gnawed it: "Fa-rectification? The Fa-rectification doesn't care about these things, and the wicked can only be tribulated by the wicked. ”

Ouch, why are the apples in the mountains so sour? He clutched his cheeks, only to feel that his teeth were falling.

Mrs. Ying glared at him.

Comfort, this is comfort, what does the stinky boy know?

￥￥￥￥￥

After the bosses on both sides nodded, the officers and soldiers and the defeated army quickly retreated to their respective boundaries, the former occupying the east of the village and the latter occupying the west of the village.

In fact, He Chunhua also wanted the other party to release the residents in the west of the village safely, but Lu Yao was not stupid, he knew that these were all good hostages, and he refused to agree to anything.

Hearing this, the villagers in the west wept.

Lu Yao didn't care about it, but the crying shook the sky and disturbed him, so he waved his hand: "Tell them to shut up, otherwise they will cut their mouths and drink in a while." ”

In the past, he did this, but now the officers and soldiers are opposite, and it is not good to be too irritating.

Speaking of this, he looked left and right: "What about the dead fat man?" Usually he doesn't need to make a voice for such troublesome things, and Wang Fatzi is the first to rush out to settle down.

Of course he couldn't see the fat man.

Several bandits were making a fire to grill fish, and Lu Yao took a sip of wine. Although he had just had a fight, he was in a pretty good mood.

I was always worried that these unreliable subordinates would be exposed and seen through by the officers and soldiers; Now that everyone is no longer pretending, it is safe to set up an alliance in the village.

A relative on the side advised: "The general should drink less wine, in case they attack at night." ”

Lu Yao laughed "sneer": "They? Attack? Don't exalt that dog officer too much! ”

He wiped his mouth: "The official went to Xiazhou to take office, and these three hundred people are his entire team, just like you are to me." Without these descendants, he is not familiar with life in Xiazhou, and it is not easy to do anything! Don't say that half of the death is dead, even if it is only a loss of 30%, he can't afford it! Do you think he's going to get on the road sooner in the morning, or is he going to attack us at night? ”

"Of course I wanted to run away earlier." Another flattered, "That dog officer's insight and courage are far worse than our generals." Besides, he's a road officer, what do you do with local affairs? Just tell him that he can part ways safely tomorrow morning, and he won't do it at night! ”

Lu Yao narrowed his eyes and put down his wine glass: "The queen of the fourth watch has strengthened her vigilance, and she can't let them run away." By the way, where did you say that Wu Shaoyi and Pei Xinyong's team had gone? ”
