The Chinese Emperor officially appointed Prince Suhani as the new king of Sumatra, and ordered Su Ganra and other prisoners to be escorted to Beijing to await trial, which was a happy ending for all.

Eiffel Tower is also sincerely happy to be able to help people live the life they want, what could be happier in life?

After careful selection and careful investigation, Zheng He promoted two ministers loyal to the former king from among the Sumatran officials, Yiwen and Wu, and they assisted the younger king in governing the country.

When everything was in order, the fleet set out again with hope, and after more than twenty days and nights of turbulence on the sea, finally arrived at Chittagong, Punggara (present-day Bangladesh).

The arrival of the Chinese dignitaries flattered Jida County Ling and warmly invited Zheng He to stay here for a few days. Zheng He readily agreed, after sitting on the boat for so long, he should relax appropriately, and it was not too late to meet the king later.

This Jida county commander, surnamed Diao Mingnan, is in his forties, with a thin figure, small eyes, a collapsed nose, two mouse beards, and a large black mole on his cheeks. When he spoke to Zheng He, his waist was very low, and his laughter was even more enthusiastic, and even the long hair on the black mole couldn't help but tremble.

"Lord Zheng, although we are in the middle of nowhere, the scenery is good, and there are many places worth seeing. There is a temple in the east of the county, a waterfall in the west, a bamboo forest in the south, and a lake in the city. Diao County Ling cherished the scenic spots under his rule.

"The guest is as he pleases, and everything is subject to the arrangement of Lord Diao." Zheng He said politely, but in his heart he didn't think so, with the King of the Iron Tower here, what other place we can't go?

"The lower officials will not disturb the rest of the VIPs." Diao County Ling personally sent Zheng He to the official post before leaving with confidence, although he walked out of the door far away, but he could still hear his voice loudly reprimanding his entourage, "You must protect the safety of the Huaxia VIPs, don't blame me for being rude to you if something goes wrong." ”

"Don't worry, my lord, we will definitely protect it." Several of the attendants replied tremblingly.

Unexpectedly, although this county commander is thin and small, the official authority is quite big, Tie Ta smiled secretly in his heart, and said: "Anyway, it's still early, let's go out for a walk!" ”

Zheng He smiled: "Okay! After sitting on the boat for so long, calluses have grown on my buttocks, and it's time to move my muscles. ”

Out of the city gate, the iron tower went straight to the Flying Tiger Mountain in the north of the city, and said self-deprecating as he walked: "I have a problem, that is, my curiosity is too heavy, the more you don't let me go, the more I want to go to see what's weird." ”

"Then we really smell like each other." Ding Erniu shook his head, and pretended to be gentle: "Our brothers have experienced a hundred battles, and they are not even afraid of the battlefield full of gunsmoke, will they still be afraid of this small mountain?" ”

"Tell you kid to read more, but you don't listen, how can this be called a similar smell? It should be called the same as what the hero sees. Annoyed, the tower struck him in the head with a backhand.

"If you fight well, you should hit a few more times, you can eat things indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense, this is called misfortune from the mouth." Zheng He's words were tantamount to adding fuel to the fire.

The sailors in the same company couldn't help laughing, Ding Erniu, Ding Erniu, you are a toad jumping into the weighing pan, I don't know how many pounds and taels I have, and I can be an honest man without ink in my stomach, what kind of intellectual?

In fact, the tower didn't exert any force just now, and Ding Erniu didn't feel the pain at all, but he also knew that he was angry, so he pretended to exaggerate and shouted, "Oh, it hurts!" It made everyone laugh again.

Walked more than ten miles, there is a steep mountain in front, the stone tablet next to the mountain road is written with three big characters of "Flying Tiger Mountain", go all the way up, mountain springs and streams can be seen everywhere, the strange peaks and strange stones are dizzying, the scenery is very good, everyone has a lot of fun.

Zheng He complained: "Such a fun place doesn't let us come, this Diao County Order is not hospitable at all!" ”

Before we knew it, it was evening, and everyone walked down the mountain unsatisfied, and when they passed a village at the foot of the mountain, they saw a large group of people surrounding the intersection, and there was a faint sound of crying.

Everyone squeezed in to take a look, and it turned out to be a gray-haired old woman beating her chest and sobbing loudly.

Zheng He felt strange and stepped forward and asked, "Old man, what happened to make you so sad?" ”

The old woman ignored it and just cried, and the villagers next to her also shed tears with her.

"This uncle, are you from out of town?" An old merchant in his sixties put down the burden on his shoulders and walked over to say hello.

Zheng He replied: "Not bad! We were here for the first time. ”

"No wonder you don't know what's going on." The old merchant took out a dry tobacco stick, and Ding Erniu was very discerning, so he quickly took out the fire fold and helped him light it. After some fog, the old merchant told him everything he knew, "This old woman is from our village, she is a well-known good person, no matter what the villagers do, she will always help, so she is also respected by many people." The old man had two sons, the eldest son was called Dazhu and the younger son was called Xiaozhu, both of whom were very good hunters. Dazhu married his daughter-in-law last year, and gave birth to a big fat grandson to her this year, Xiaozhu also told him a family affair half a year ago, and agreed to get married at the end of the year, his son and daughter-in-law are very filial to her, and the family lives a happy life. ”

"Alas, it's a pity that the kindness is not reciprocated!" The old merchant sighed, and was also sad for what happened to the old woman, "Later, a fierce tiger came to Feihu Mountain, and the county commander organized hunters from several nearby villages to round up together, who knew that the beast was very powerful, and the hunters suffered heavy casualties." Last month, her eldest son was bitten to death by a tiger, and her daughter-in-law couldn't think of hanging herself for a while, but today the government came to notice that his youngest son was also dead. Now that only she and her grandson are left in the family, how can the orphaned old woman live this life? ”

"Yes! The old man is so pathetic. The villagers were full of anger, "It's all to blame on that evil tiger, three hunters have died in our village to round it up." ”

"The poplar village next door is even worse, I heard that four died!"

"I seem to have seen you coming down from the Flying Tiger Mountain just now, you are really bold, aren't you afraid of tigers?" The kind-hearted old merchant was horrified.

Are there tigers in the mountains? Why didn't we come across? The sailors all looked at each other, their hearts full of doubts.

"This mountain is called Flying Tiger Mountain, there must be a lot of tigers, right?" Zheng He asked.

"Not really." The old merchant explained, "The reason why this mountain is called Feihu Mountain is because the mountain is so steep that only tigers can leap over it. Strange to say, I've lived here for decades, and I've rarely seen a tiger hurt a person, but it's incomprehensible that so many tragic things have happened in the last year. Okay, let's not talk about it, I'll have to go out for a walk before it's dark, and maybe I can do a few more business. After half a bag of cigarettes, the old merchant picked up his burden and got up to leave.

"I've delayed you for so long, I'll do some business for you too!" Zheng He bought all the pancakes and pastries on his burden, and then gave them all to the old woman, comforting: "You don't have to worry, I will tell the county magistrate about your situation, and he will not ignore it."

……

"Lord Zheng, don't believe those rumors of Diao Min, how can there be a tiger under my rule?" In the face of Zheng He's questioning, Diao County Ling swore an oath.

"It's good if I don't, maybe I'm really mistaken for people." Zheng He raised his head and said hello before getting up and saying goodbye. He has lived in officialdom for a long time, how can he not know what is greasy? These villagers are honest farmers, Zheng He is fully sure that they will not lie to themselves, since the county order does not recognize it, then it can only be reported to the king.

"Paper can't hold the fire, we must find a way to remedy it." After sending Zheng He away, Diao Xianling was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and he couldn't sit or stand.

"Don't worry, my lord, this is a great feat! The premise is that it depends on how you do it. The master stepped forward and persuaded.

"Don't sell it, hurry up." Diao County Ling immediately turned his worries into joy, he also knew the ability of this dog-headed military division, he had been smooth sailing in the officialdom over the years, and this person was indispensable.

The master leaned into Diao County's ear and whispered, and he couldn't help but applaud when he heard his eyebrows and smiles.

The next day, the king met with the Chinese guests at the palace, and after some diplomatic etiquette, Zheng He recounted in detail what he had seen yesterday.

The king was astonished, "How can such a thing happen?" I called the prime minister to ask for clarification. ”

The prime minister came in and bowed down to report: "Your Majesty, at noon, Diao Nan of Jida County reported to me through an urgent document that a vicious tiger appeared in the local Flying Tiger Mountain, and seven lives had been injured in a row. Jida County attaches great importance to this matter, and the county commander personally serves as the leader of the tiger fighting team to control the overall situation. The head of the hunt served as the deputy leader, and led a tiger fighting team of more than 100 people composed of officials and hunters to go up the mountain to round up. All the staff of the county government canceled their vacations and worked day and night to publicize the importance and urgency of fighting tigers and saving the people. At the same time as offering a reward of 50 taels of silver, the county treasurer also urgently allocated 100 taels of silver as a pension for the dead and wounded. In the midst of this tiger disaster, a large number of advanced individuals and collectives have emerged who have good ideas, high consciousness, and sacrifice themselves to save others. At present, public order in Jida County is good, the mood of the masses is stable, and the people's production and life are proceeding in an orderly manner. Your Majesty, I originally planned to report this matter after you have met with the foreign guests, but I didn't expect you to already know, you are really powerful, and you are very discerning! ”

The king was mixed when he heard this, he was happy that the work of Jida County was fruitful, and he was worried that the tiger would always be a hidden danger if it was not eliminated. "The evil tiger has injured so many lives, and it is absolutely intolerable. Prime Minister, you gather all the best hunters in the country, and whoever can kill a tiger will be rewarded with a hundred taels of gold. If it really doesn't work, I will send troops to destroy it and give the people a stable living environment. The king made a quick decision.

"Your Majesty, I'm the most adventurous, let me go and see it first!" The king loves the people like a son, and it is really touching that the king loves the people like a son, and it must be the right thing to do to the people.

The king said gratefully, "I have heard that the king of the tower is invincible and brave in his deeds, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart on behalf of the people." ”

"Prime Minister, in the face of catastrophes, he shows his true character as a hero, and the Jida County Commander is a rare talent, it's time to add a burden to him." Before leaving, the king did not forget to remind the prime minister.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will not miss such an exemplary example." The prime minister patted his chest and promised.
