At the first regular meeting of the Senate at the beginning of 784, the senator representative of Danya Province, Vaglar, was the first to challenge Zichuan Xiu, who accused Zichuan Xiu of taking the opportunity of quelling the Mavi rebellion and commanding the army to carry out a massacre in Valin Province, killing nearly 1,000 innocent people!

The patriarch described the massacre in detail: "The army entered the city at dusk, and the cavalry and gendarmerie units were stationed in the headquarters of the 35th Division, the governor's palace, the town hall, and other vital departments. The army surrounded Mavi's mansion and took hundreds of people with them. All the properties related to the Ma family, shops, houses, money houses, and factories were all seized by the army, and the soldiers brutally drove out the Ma family's employees, and looted all the cash they could find and all the property they could move. In the process, more than 500 people were hacked to death because they ignored the orders of the army. After nightfall, the curfew begins. Patrolling troops were strewn with them, anyone who refused to stop for body searches was killed, and after dawn the snowy streets were littered with bodies killed by arrows.

"The frenzied arrests continued all night, and the army and gendarmes searched the remnants and rebels of Mavi from house to house, and all adult men who could not provide identification were arrested, and the sound of crackling doors and screams of protesters being beaten up continued throughout the night, and those who dared to resist were killed on the spot. The people who were taken away have not been heard from since, and the residents have been so frightened that they cannot sleep at night. The massacre lasted a day and a night, nearly a thousand people were secretly executed, and layers of corpses were buried in the wasteland near the city. ”

According to the description of Elder Waglar, Shikawa Shu and his army are like an ugly beast, brutally ravaging the beautiful paradise of Warin.

Speaking of grief and indignation, Wagrar wept silently: "The warlords are violent and slaughter civilians! The righteous senators must uphold justice for the innocent people of Warin!"

The elders were filled with righteous indignation and passion: "Down with the warlord Shikawa Xiu! Impeach him! Depose him! Raid his home! Exile him as an army!"

At that time, Shikawa Xiu was absent and could not attend the Senate meeting, but Inspector General Di Lin went to observe the meeting that day.

After the patriarchs scrambled to speak to denounce Zichuan Xiu, King Shura only smiled coldly: "A hundred mice can't bite a cat! Zichuan Xiu is not a character you can deal with, if you want to live longer, you better know a little measure!"

He walked away, and the hall was silent for a moment, and the roars rang out, and the dignified and steady elders were so enraged that they screamed.

On that day, the Senate passed a resolution to thoroughly investigate the Wallin massacre with unprecedented efficiency.

Elder Waglar claimed to have witnessed the whole process of the Warin incident, but he did not mention in his speech that when the house was raided, the city of Warin was jubilant, the sound of firecrackers resounded throughout the city, the streets and alleys were crowded with excited celebratory crowds, and the city was lit up all night.

Of course, he also forgot to say that on the day when the remnants of the Ma family were executed in large numbers, the people rushed to tell each other and cheered, every household put out incense and fruit to reward the army, and the church specially prayed for Zichuan Xiu to make a mass, and the bell rang throughout the city.

Of course, he would not tell the world, when Zichuan Xiu left Wallin, hundreds of thousands of residents spontaneously took to the streets to stay, and thousands of banners hung all over the streets: "Fearless of power, fame and fame!"

"Just and righteous, for the benefit of all people!"

"Shovel jiān to eliminate evil, all the people admire!"

"Good go, Commander!"

The Valin Incident was a major turning point in the struggle between the Zichuan regime and the aristocratic forces. After getting the message. The Governor's Mansion and the Senate urgently sent Goshan to Warin by Starry Night. Under the dual orders of the Governor's Mansion and the Council of Elders - although the starting point was different, both sides ordered Zichuan Xiu to immediately stop the pursuit of the Ma family.

Shikawa Shu greeted the arrival of the minister Goshan at the gate of Warin. The first words of the meeting. Goshan said: "Commander Zichuan Xiu, entrusted by His Highness and the Senate. I order you to immediately stop the military operations against the Ma family!"

"The Ma family?" Zi Chuanxiu tilted his head in confusion, as if looking for an answer in the depths of thousands of years of historical memory.

Goshan had to remind him, "It's Mavi and his family!"

"Oh, that's what you're talking about. But you're too late, and there's no more Ma family left. ”

Looking at the charred ruins in the center of Wallin, Goshan was dumbfounded, and she turned her head to look at Zi Chuanxiu: "What about people?"

"Buried. Do you need me to dig it up and show you?"

Zichuan Xiu's ruthlessness and speed of action shocked Ge Shan, and she realized that the seemingly weak young master in the pants who had been his subordinate had such a thunderous side, and he could also kill decisively when needed.

Staring at Zichuan Xiu, she said slowly: "Commander Zichuan, maybe I am not qualified to teach you, but those who are good at soldiers will eventually die in soldiers, I hope you can remember this sentence." ”

"Your Excellency's golden and jade good words, the lower officials keep it in mind. Zi Chuanxiu said lightly: "But it's better to cry all the way than to cry as a family, kill them, I have a clear conscience." ”

In just a few days, the Ma family, which had been operating in the southwest for decades, was completely wiped out, and all the Ma family's property in Warin and the southwestern provinces was confiscated.

At the same time, in the territory of the Lin family, the same action presided over by Elder Lin Rui of the River Hill was also going on. All the banks, factories, farms and land in the name of the Ma family were all expropriated by the Lin family.

In Dìdū, the Inspectorate determined that the death of Elder Ma Qin was due to "internal strife", and Di Lin arrested a large number of Ma family's men in the name of pursuing the murderer, and the Ma family's properties in Dìdū were burned to the ground in the course of the pursuit.

When Zi Chuanxiu killed the Ma family, the Ma family's counterattack also began.

When Shikawa Shu passed by, someone struck him from the roof with a light chain crossbow, but fortunately Shikawa Shu was quick to dodge; the handyman was helping Shikawa Shu make the bed when he was cut by a blade hidden in the mattress, and in less than two minutes, he was swollen and purple and died; the food served to Shikawa Shu was also poisoned, and when the gendarmes tracked him down, they found the cook's body in the water tank.

Zichuan Xiu immediately replaced all the jǐng guards around him with Xiuzi battalion soldiers from the Far East, and he also began a-for-tat counterattack, and more troops and gendarmes were thrown into the hunt for Ma Wei.

A large number of soldiers were arranged on the border to check on passers-by to prevent Ma Wei from escaping, and a net was laid throughout the southwest region, and a bounty notice with Ma Wei's photo was plastered on every wall and every tree.

The headquarters of the Black Flag Army informed all the people in the southwest: "Regardless of officers and soldiers, civilians, anyone who can report Ma Wei's exact clues will be rewarded with 50,000 silver coins, if he can kill Ma Wei himself and receive a reward, he will be rewarded with 200,000 silver coins, and if he can capture Ma Wei's own offer, a reward of 500,000 will be given!"

Zi Chuanxiu was generous, anyway, it wasn't his money, the wealth he looted from Ma Wei's house was piled up, and he waved his pen: "Confiscate it, hand it all over to the treasury!" Where is the treasury, the treasury is in the back trouser pocket of the old man.

In the Valin incident, no one knows how much money Zi Chuanxiu looted, but according to the estimation of the participant Lin Rui, the Ma family has accumulated a wealth of 70 years and a property of at least 300 million.

After the incident, even the nursery rhyme in the southwest was singing: "Poured a Ma Wei, fattened a Zichuan ......"

The people of the southwest have been poisoned by the Ma family for a long time, and now the new commander suddenly eradicated the Ma family by thunderbolt, and Zichuan Xiu's reputation among the people has risen sharply.

Just by virtue of the merit of eliminating the Ma family, people forgot about Zichuan Xiu's previous unpopular actions, such as blocking the border to create trade obstacles, and soliciting and accepting bribes.

The people here have always had a practical merchant style, and they would rather have a capable corrupt official than an honest but dull official.

As long as officials are willing to do something good, the common people are very tolerant of their personal moral character, and here it is completely understandable that officials seek personal benefits: "It's nothing, the commander also has to eat!"

Folk, Zichuan Xiu's reputation is so good, the common people call him "benevolent and righteous commander" in the first article, and later the title in the army spreads, and the people also follow suit, and the people call Zichuan Xiu "Commander" instead of surname, which is both respectful and cordial.

There have always been undesirable corrupt officials and clean officials who are admired by everyone, but there is only one official who has made a fortune and has been supported, and that is the eighteenth commander of the Black Flag Army, Master Zichuan Shu! He has set two records at the same time, the highest amount of embezzlement and the highest popular support index, and no one has been able to break these two records until 200 years later, let alone reached them at the same time.

Looking up at Zichuan Xiu's glorious achievements, the officials of the future generations are desperate to death!

Goshan had only stayed in Valin for two days, and she looked at it and was soon gone.

Zichuan Xiu was surprised: "Elder of Staff, aren't you the minister who came to investigate this case?"

"Commander, you're mistaken. Goshan said coldly: "My task is to convey the will of His Highness and the Senate, but now there is no need, of course I have to go back to fulfill my fate." ”

"What does Your Highness mean exactly?"

Goshen didn't answer. It wasn't until she said goodbye to the carriage that she said, "Commander Xiuchuan, take care of yourself!"

Shikawa Xiu immediately understood, and Goshan was tactfully reminding himself that Dìdū's form shì was very bad for him.

After sending off Goshan, Zichuan Xiu threw himself more fanatically into the struggle to eliminate the Ma family, and the large-scale sweep came to an end for the time being, and it has reached the stage of digging deep into the latent remnants.

It would have been a very difficult task to separate the gangsters from the innocent civilians, but Zichuan Xiu carried out it effortlessly - the people of Wallin, who had been oppressed by the Ma family for a long time, were mobilized, and with the support of the army, they were no longer afraid of the gang's power, and a large number of clues and complaints poured into the headquarters of the repression army.

With the support of the common people, the gangsters have nowhere to hide, no matter how hidden they hide, they will be reported and exposed, and the army will have no trouble catching them.

As soon as they show up, there is no need for the army to arrest them, and the neighbors who have been bullied will rush up and beat them: "Avenge my bullied daughter!"

"Spit out my hard-earned money!"

"I avenge my father and repay my blood debt!"

The gangsters were beaten and screamed: "The army is coming and arresting me! The gendarmes are coming! I am a gangster, I have surrendered."

The gangsters are more afraid of the common people than the army, although the army is ruthless, but as long as they surrender and add some rhetoric, maybe there is still a chance to live, but the common people have no way to deceive, they can clearly see every crime they have done, let them catch the new account and the old account together.

Once those good people who have been oppressed for a long time have a chance to take revenge, the torture methods they come up with are particularly poisonous and ruthless.

When Zi Chuanxiu was inspecting the streets, he encountered many scenes of people spontaneously tying up gangsters and burning them alive along the way.

He was shocked: "How can you treat people like this?"

The reply of the people was: "My lord, these are not people, they are animals!

In addition to burning to death, the common people also came up with many vicious methods, such as tying gangsters in sacks and burying them alive, drowning them in pig pens, nailing them to the cross, and so on.

In the end, Shikawa had to issue an order to prohibit the rampant torture of the people and "treat criminals in a humane and decent way."

The order was issued, but it didn't seem to have much effect, the people hated the Ma gang too much, if it came to the active and resolute struggle, even Zichuan Xiu could not compare to them, and nothing could stop their anger of revenge.

Shikawa Shu took full advantage of the enthusiasm of the people. In the trial and liquidation of the Ma gang, the army invited a large number of people to observe and serve as jurors.

It is possible for gangsters to pretend to be innocent and deceive officers from other places, but it is impossible to deceive those local people who were born and raised.

The results of such trials are often the most authentic and reliable, and the people at large are the most authoritative judges and witnesses.

The struggle was in full swing, and in those rìzi, the lights of the headquarters were often kept on all night, and Zichuan Xiu was so busy that he could only sleep for two or three hours a day - not that there were no excellent subordinates to share with him, but he was responsible for formulating the next step of the pursuit plan, deploying key search areas, collecting evidence, interrogating prisoners, and screening, and all the work was responsible to Zichuan Xiu alone.

The prisons in Warin are overcrowded, kill or pardon, now Zi Chuan Xiu's words judge life and death, if he makes a mistake in judgment, he may indulge a bad friend of the Ma family or kill an innocent civilian, this responsibility is too heavy, Zi Chuan Xiu does not dare to hand over this heavy responsibility to others, he must do everything himself.

Ma Wei fled in such a hurry that night that he left out a lot of valuable information and account books, which left strong clues and evidence for the pursuit and trial.

For example, in the list of members of the Ma family, Ma Wei only destroyed the official register, but omitted the salary payment records in the account office.

In addition, a secret record was found in the secret cabinet in Ma Wei's room, which recorded the place where the Ma family had been bribed and the officials in the army, Zichuan Xiu took a rough look at it: "Xu Yonghua, the governor of Danya Province, the first 150,000 silver coins, 20,000 silver coins per month. ”

"Vaglar, the patriarch of Danya Province, for the first time 300,000 silver coins, 100,000 silver coins per month. ”

"Chopin, the governor of the province of Remu, one hundred thousand silver coins at a time, one kabuki. ”

"Wade, deputy chief of the general staff of the Black Flag Army, 500,000 silver coins at a time, and three kabuki, 100,000 silver coins per month. ”

What made Zi Chuan Xiu laugh was that he even saw his name on it: "Zi Chuan Xiu, the commander of the Far East, two beauties, two million silver coins." (Later, he was reappointed as the commander of the Black Flag Army, and the money and beauties he sent were returned, this person is dangerous!"" Looking at it again, Zi Chuanxiu soon couldn't laugh, the officials on the list became higher and higher, and the scope also expanded from the southwest to dìdū, and many acquaintances appeared on the list: "Minghui, commander of the Northwest Frontier Military Region, two million silver coins at a time, 100,000 silver coins per month." ”

"Pigu, commander of the Praetorian Guard, one million silver coins at a time, one hundred thousand silver coins per month. ”

"Xiao Gan, the chief of the Senate and the current speaker, one million silver coins. ”

"Fang Jin, the commander of the Southwest Black Flag Army, two million silver coins (short-lived guy, we lost two million in vain!)" Zichuan Xiu closed the notebook, only to feel dizzy.

The number of people on the record, the wide range, and the high level are really shocking, the Ma family is really a monster, their minions are all over the military and political circles, no wonder they fought with the wisdom and courage of the Yunshanhe commander back then.

He immediately decided: this record must not be pursued, and this is no longer something that a Black Flag Army commander is capable of investigating. If it goes out publicly, the Zichuan family will be discredited, and the zhèngfǔ, the army, and the senate will be paralyzed.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zichuan Xiu finally decided to give this book to Di Lin, he believed that Di Lin should know how to use this book better than himself.

In front of Zi Chuanxiu, the one-foot-thick ledger was piled up high, all of which were seized from Ma Wei's house, and his eyes hurt when he saw it.

It records the sources and lists of the Ma family's wealth. There is no need for a veteran of accounting, even a layman like Zichuan Xiu can see that there is a huge gap between the Ma family's wealth and legal income, not to mention that they have to spend a lot of money to buy the family's military and political officials, where does their money come from?

After interrogating the Ma family's henchmen and the pirates who were captured alive, countless pieces of evidence have conclusively proved that for a long time, the Ma family has been secretly fornicating with the pirates, providing supplies and hiding places for the pirates, helping the pirates sell their stolen goods, and getting a share of the wealth plundered by the pirates.

The Ma family has suddenly become rich in the past 70 years, and the secret lies in this. And when Ma Wei and Ma Qin gained power, they were no longer satisfied with just sharing the income of the Japanese Invaders, and Ma Wei even led his subordinates to pretend to be the Japanese Invaders many times to plunder the coastal towns of the Lin family.

Looking at the records, Zi Chuanxiu couldn't help but feel bloody, he finally understood, why Lin Rui seemed so active when he heard that he was going to deal with the Ma family, and almost did not hesitate to send troops and money - of course, his friendship with himself is a reason, but I am afraid it is more for the interests of the Lin family.

Thinking about it, Lin Rui also has a headache, there is such a bad neighbor as Ma Wei, who wants to exterminate him and has scruples about the relationship with the Zichuan family, the Lin family is dumb and can't say that they have suffered from Coptis chinensis.

The army of the Zichuan family disguised themselves as Japanese robbers, which was a huge scandal for the army. If the matter leaks out, it will inevitably lead to a huge **, and even the collapse of the current chief is possible.

Zi Chuanxiu put down the account book, and his heart was already decided: At this time, the chief and the senators will never dare to pursue it -- otherwise, they will make the information in their possession public, and they will be scattered, and they will run back to the Far East, and many people will be unlucky.

The sky was already dark, and Zi Chuanxiu opened the curtain of the tent and went out, the fresh air after the snow came to his face, and the mountains in the distance loomed in the winter mist.

Pu Xin Qiben walked over quickly: "My lord, just now Dìdū sent an urgent secret document, are you interested in reading it?"

Zi Chuanxiu took it, looking at the letterhead, his expression became more and more strict. He raised his head and whispered, "Call Wenhe." ”

Wen He and Pu Xin looked at Zi Chuanxiu silently, seeing that the expression of the regiment commander was so stern, they didn't dare to breathe, and they all guessed that it was dìdū who was furious because of the matter of the Ma family.

"Don't be afraid, Sterling's letter is good news. Zichuan Xiu said lightly: "This order is confidential and can only be conveyed to the deputy commander level. ”

Pu Xin said with interest: "My lord, the lower official is temporarily retiring. ”

"No, Pu Xin, I can trust you. Zi Chuanxiu said lightly, seeing Pu Xin's touched expression, he was secretly proud in his heart: he didn't spend a dime, and he bought people's hearts again.

"The family and the Liufeng family are negotiating in secret, the Liufeng Sen of Yuanjing will surrender to my Zichuan family, and he will cede the six northwestern provinces such as Lancheng and Xi Bing to my Zichuan family, and pay tribute every year, on the condition that my Zichuan family supports him to deal with Liufeng Qing and Liu Fengming. If the negotiation is successful, there will be no more so-called Liufeng family, and only the western special administrative region of the Zichuan family will remain, that is to say—"

Zi Chuan Xiu said lightly: "My family will unify the continent. ”

The victory of the Hundred Years' War came so suddenly, it took half a minute for the two officers to show ecstatic expressions, and Wen He shouted in disregard of etiquette: "My lord, really?"

Zichuan Xiu looked at him with a smile, Wen He realized that he was rude, and questioned the chief for being a very rude move, and he apologized again and again.

Zi Chuanxiu waved his hand: "It's nothing, it happened so suddenly, I can't believe it." ”

After the ecstasy, Pu Xin quickly regained his composure, and he said cautiously: "My lord, the lower officials suspect that Liu Fengsen's submission is not sincere. He was originally the head of the Liufeng family, how could he be willing to become a vassal of my Zichuan family? Xia Guan suspected that he was just trying to gain time to suppress Liufeng Qing and Liufeng Ming, and after consolidating his position, he would show his teeth and claws to my Zichuan family. ”

"What you say is not unreasonable, but the questions we can think of, dìdū will naturally be prepared. In addition to cutting the land, changing banners, and paying tribute, Liu Fengsen still has to do one thing to prove his sincerity, and after doing this, he will never be able to turn back, so he can only think twice about vassalizing my Zichuan family. ”

"My lord, what are the conditions?"

Zi Chuanxiu showed a complicated expression and said slowly: "He has to hand over the wind and frost." ”

"Ah, I'm afraid this is not easy, right? Liufeng Shuang has a heavy army, he is the number one general in power of the Liufeng family, even if Liufeng Sen really surrenders sincerely, I'm afraid he won't be able to deal with Liufeng Shuang, right?"

"You're all wrong. ”

Zi Chuanxiu looked at the verdant mountains in the distance and didn't say anything for a long time. His expression was faint, and he couldn't see joy or sorrow: "About three days ago, Liufeng Shuang was captured alive by the Lin family's border guards in the Lin family's area near the border with Valin, and the Lin family will soon hand her over to us." ”

"Ah, Drift has been captured? That's great!"

"yes, that's great......" Zichuan Xiu muttered, with a hint of helplessness and poignancy in his voice, but neither Wenhe nor Pu Xin noticed.

He waved, "Go down." Wenhe, you are mainly responsible for the security of receiving the wind and frost, and you will start preparing now. ”

The two senior officers saluted and left. Zichuan Xiu stood in place, looking at the verdant mountains and forests in the distance, and the vast trunk line was the last place where the Yiren appeared. No one saw it, and the eyes of the commander-in-chief of the Black Flag Army flashed with melancholy.

Things are so strange, in order to search for Ma Wei, Zi Chuanxiu and the Southwest Military Justice Department have invested tens of thousands of troops and gendarmes, and the people have also been mobilized to help with the search, to put it bluntly, even every ant hole in Valin Province has been searched, and every ant has been checked for ID cards, but the search has not progressed, not to mention finding Ma Wei, there are few valuable clues.

When Hideto Zichuan was about to lose confidence, good news suddenly came: an insider in the intelligence department of the Supervision Office lurking in the gang of Japanese pirates came back with the news that Ma Wei was most likely hiding among the Japanese pirates along the coast of Warin!

Hearing the news, Zi Chuanxiu immediately contacted Lin Rui, Lin Rui was very cooperative, and without saying a word, he sent two hundred big war ships and thousands of fast patrol boats over, and Zi Chuanxiu took the fleet under the command of the Black Flag Army to go to sea to meet him.

To Zi Chuanxiu's surprise, the commander of the Lin family's fleet turned out to be his acquaintance, Lin Yunfei, the general of the Lin family's Shaozhuang faction.

At first meeting, looking at Zichuan Xiu with a straight uniform and shining stars on his shoulders, Lin Yunfei was also surprised: "You ......"

He never thought that his rival in love, the unknown little man Zhang Asan, his true identity was actually a town marquis of the Zichuan family!

Lin Rui looked at the surprised expressions of the two with interest: "Commander Xiu, let me introduce you, this is the commander of our First Fleet in the East China Sea, Admiral Lin Yunfei." You're all young people, and you're so close—but you seem to have seen each other before, right?"

"Nope!"

The two denied it in unison, and Lin Yunfei said seriously: "I have heard the name of the Southwest Commander for a long time, and now I can see it, I am really fortunate to have three lives!"

Zi Chuanxiu's face was full of smirk: "Where is it, where is it! Your Excellency Yunfei, I have also heard of the great name for a long time, and it is like thunder! The young Yanjun of the Lin family is really extraordinary!"

The two shook hands with a smile and were very enthusiastic, and shook hands for five minutes.

When he pulled his hand out, Lin Yunfei's face turned white, and Zichuan Xiu walked away with a smile as if nothing had happened!

―Passing the first corner, he ran up and ran down the cabin and shouted, "Get the bone-setting wine!"

The fleet quietly reached the coast of Warin and surrounded the island where the pirates were hiding.

Seeing that the combined forces of Zichuan and the Lin family were strong, the Japanese on the island were panicked, and their messenger came in a small boat to ask for negotiations.

As soon as they met, the messenger took out a bloody pocket and said in an unfamiliar continental language, "My lord, this is Ma Wei's head." ”

Lin Rui and Zi Chuanxiu were so shocked that they couldn't speak. After examination, it was indeed Ma Wei's head, who had been dead for many days, and had rotted and smelled.

Looking at the head with angry eyes, Zi Chuanxiu was at a loss.

The manhunt was over before it began, and his original plan was to go through a hard battle, eliminate the Japanese and then capture the guy he hated the most, and humiliate him.

He even thought of the lines: "Ma Wei, you are arrogant and domineering, can you expect that there will be a rì?" or righteously: "Ma Wei, on behalf of the motherland and the people, I will eliminate you!" and then whispered: "Ma Wei, do you remember what happened at Zi Chuanning's house?"

Ma Wei then showed a look of annoyance and frustration, and maybe he would cry and beg for mercy or play the role of a hero who would rather die than give in, and finally publicly execute him in the downtown area of Warin, marking the complete success of the Zichuan family's fight against the underground gangsters.

But now, there is nothing but a stinky head. Tens of thousands of troops launched a costly search and arrest operation, and in the end, this was the result.

Zi Chuan Xiu felt empty for a while, and he asked lazily, "What the hell is going on?"

Ma Wei was defeated that night, and although the mainland was large, there was no place for him to hide. Before Zichuan Xiu counterattacked, he went to sea to take refuge in the Japanese and wanted to escape the limelight and come back.

Unexpectedly, that night, the Japanese invaders suffered heavy losses, and the remnants who fled back added fuel to the matter, saying that it was precisely because of listening to Ma Wei's intelligence that more than 500 people fell into the ambush of the Lin family, suffered heavy casualties, and we were betrayed by Ma Wei!

Everyone was gritting their teeth with hatred, but Ma Wei delivered it to the door with a big bag and a small bag, which was really good......

As he spoke, the messenger even took out a notice: "Lord Zichuan, you declare who can hand over Ma Wei's head, and the bounty is 200,000 silver coins - you are a dignified town marquis of the Zichuan family, and you can't talk about it!"

How dare these birdmen who have ruined their own good deeds still dare to ask for a reward from themselves? Zi Chuanxiu only felt that evil was born to the side of his guts, and instead of being angry, he laughed and said in a muffled voice: "We are a big country in the Celestial Empire, so naturally we will not be untrustworthy to you barbarians--come here, reward him with money!"

Holding the box full of silver coins, the thief smiled so hard that he couldn't close his mouth: "Thank you, sir!"

"No thanks! Come on, the two countries are fighting, don't kill the envoy, put this messenger back, and in five minutes our whole army will land and attack! -- Messenger, you have to take your money, it's not good to lose it in a hurry!"

"Ah, no, Lord Commander, spare your life, don't! I don't want money, I don't want money!"

The messenger was dragged out, and Zichuan Xiu let out a sullen breath, told someone to put away Ma Wei's head, and ordered: "Attack! Kill them all!

At the same time, thousands of ships were laid down on the big ship, each small ship was full of sailors of the Lin family and the infantry of the Zichuan family, and the attacking troops rushed to the beachhead like water, crowded with people, weapons like mountains, shouting to kill the sky, and the uniforms of blue and black sè covered the white and vast sand at once.

The battle ended in less than half a day. Eliminating a gang of would-be robbers along the coast of the Lin family for many years, Lin Rui was in a good mood, and he returned the box of 500,000 silver coins to Zi Chuanxiu with a smile: "Lord Commander, our army picked it up when we were sweeping the battlefield." ”

That night, the top brass of the two armies held a public dinner party to celebrate. At the banquet, Lin Yunfei approached Zichuan Xiu and said very heroically: "Commander Xiu, I toast you!" but said softly: "You bastard, you actually left her alone and ran away! I'm going to kill you!"

Zichuan Xiu didn't move, clinking glasses with a smile: "Cheers to friendship!" After the wine was down, he burped and asked in a low voice, "I did my best at that time." Is there any way you can get her out? Where is she being held?"

"I was no longer trusted, they blocked the news from me. ”

Zichuan Xiu's heart sank slightly.

After the news of Ma Wei's death came out, the Ma family officially announced the annihilation of the entire army, and the people in the southwest region were so excited that they set off firecrackers for several days. The large force of the Black Flag Army withdrew from Valin Province, and the task of dealing with the remnants of the Ma family was entrusted to the Supervision Department, and they were still sparing no effort to hunt down the remnants of the Ma family, and they were much better at this kind of delicate work than the army.

Shikawa summoned Judge Advocate General's Advocate General, Bo Jin, to express his gratitude for the Judge Advocate General's strong support in the operation, and "sponsored" the Judge Advocate Advocate General's Office with 1 million silver coins as funding.

Pokine put it off for a while, but finally accepted it. He politely said that he really didn't dare to do it, and that it was everyone's common responsibility to fight crime. There are a lot of things that everyone tacitly doesn't say.

Now, the Black Flag Army's top priority is to wait to receive the wind and frost. Wenhe sent people to contact the Heqiu regime several times, and the other party promised to "hand it over soon, but now it is just a little procedural problem." ”

As a result, this "very soon" dragged on for half a month without news, and Wen He, who was in charge of this matter, was so anxious that he was eager to immediately take a cavalry division into the river mound to snatch the wind and frost out.

As the commander, Zichuan Xiu was leisurely, and he comforted Wenhe and said: "If you can't come in a hurry, the matter is done by dìdū and the upper echelons of the river hill in Cāo, and it is useless for us to be in a hurry." He knew that the Lin family would eventually have to hand over someone, and the current bargaining was just to fight for benefits.

Moreover, it is a rare opportunity to pinch the soul of the Flowing Wind family in their hands, and they also want to squeeze some valuable information out of her, and the Flowing Wind and Frost are worth the same amount of gold, even if it is good to stay for one more day.
