The next day, I chased very tightly, asking for the last monthly pass, subscription, and reward.

Sanggu-gun, the county seat of Ueno, Ueno Castle is located in a hill valley, guarding the north-south thoroughfare, and it is the only place for Qingzhou to enter Gyeonggi.

The county envoy is one of the three major families in the city, the Fang family, but in Shangqiu County, the power of the Fang family is the weakest, and the other two, the Ming family, control the Shangqiu County soldiers, and occupy the position of county lieutenant for more than 30 years, and the city guards are about to become the private soldiers of the Ming family.

The Feng family has few official positions in the county's yamen, but the Feng family has the highest status in this Shangqiu, for no other reason, the old lady of the Feng family is the captain of the Shenwu Emperor's guards, and he is deeply respected, and he has been given an iron coupon by the Shenwu Emperor, and the old lady Feng is a master of the heavenly spirit.

Fang Yunan frowned, looking at this fast horse urgent report from Xiaqiu County, just a few glances, his mood was already fluctuating, this is a tricky big trouble, if it is not good, it has to be a big deal: "Come on, go and invite Mingdu quickly, the sealing officer will come over ..."

Feudal Ping, the only son of the Feng family's generation, is only thirty years old, although he is dressed as a scribe, but as long as the people in Ueno City know that this feudal Ping is more suitable for the position of the county governor: "Lord Fang, hurriedly call someone to summon me over, but what's the urgency!"

Shangqiu County is close to Gyeonggi, where there are millions of forbidden troops guarding, and even the surrounding prefectures and counties are too peaceful, so except for some sundries, there are few urgent matters, if you have to say that there is, there is only Xiaqiu County, the southernmost county of Shangqiu County.

"Look at it first!" Fang Yunan said and handed over the official document.

While the two were talking, they heard the sound of metal clashes of armor colliding outside, and after a while, "walked into a burly man with full body martial armor, Mingtai, who is also the county commander of the county, and the general is a local military position, but it is only equivalent to the commander of the battalion in the army, but there are many more soldiers and horses under his command."

"Lord Fang, I'm busy training soldiers and horses, I heard that you have something important to look for me, could it be that there is chaos in the south again..." Mingtai's rough voice shouted at the two of them as soon as he entered the door.

"It's really a good guess for Lord Ming!" "The Fang family and the Ming family don't deal with each other" This is also known to passers-by, but on the surface, the two of them are polite.

After hearing this, the smile on Mingtai's face became a little bigger: "Bandits are rampant, it seems that Ben will personally go on another trip to suppress the arrogance of those guys! ”

Fang Yunan snorted secretly, who doesn't know that your Ming family hooked up with that group of thieves "Every time I go to chop, thousands of soldiers and horses are dispatched, but in the end, at most I catch dozens of inconsequential minions, and dare to report a big victory" In the Taihilly area around Xiaqiu County, the bandits have not decreased, but have become more and more suppressed.

"Ahem, Lord Ming is not busy sending troops, let's take a look at the official document sent by Xiaqiu first, and then we are doing calculations!"

Bang" Mingtai quickly swept the two lines, and suddenly shot the case: "Ridiculous, the gang of bastards in Xiaqiu is getting more and more proficient, killing more than 1,780 bandits, and verifying the number of people who are in the right body is more than 700, and there are more than 1,000 soldiers in Xiaqiu County, and it is not enough to protect themselves" How can it be possible to kill so many people...

"Master Ming, let's calm down and talk about ... after reading it"

Mingtai forcibly suppressed the anger and continued to watch, the more he saw the back, the more he felt cold in his heart, as if he was poured a basin of cold water on his head: "This is all true?"

Fang Yunan looked at Mingtai's expression, and couldn't help laughing in his heart, let you go crazy, go down to the hill to suppress the bandits, but found the palace in the bandits' den, but after investigation, it was built by the heirs of the anti-prince, just this sentence raised the level of this matter to a height that they didn't dare to slack off.

"The people are already on the way, along with the heads of the bandits, and it is said that the reason why they were able to achieve such a great victory this time was because of the invincible attack of the ghost earl who passed through the border...!

Fang Yunan is not a fool, he still doesn't know what the bastards in Xiaqiu are, but this newspaper is beautifully written, and he has made a great contribution in a hurry, just discovering the whereabouts of the anti-king is already a credit, not to mention the hiding place to exterminate the anti-king.

"Then what should we do, there is an anti-king in the territory, but there are some crimes of negligence... "Mingtai is not a fool, at this time, if he doesn't pull another person into the water, his Ming family will be over."

Pedaling, a housekeeper trotted all the way to the living room, saw the three people in the hall, hesitated, and was hesitating whether to report, Fang Yunan saw the housekeeper and said, "Look so flustered, but something?"

"Go back to your lordship, someone outside the door came to pay a visit with an earl's greeting post!"

"Count, do you know who it is?" ”

"It seems to be the Leng family, he said that he is the steward of the Leng family, the ghost earl! ”

Fang Yunan stood up all of a sudden, and said to the housekeeper, "Quick, please come in!" ”

Kong Mingchen followed the housekeeper all the way to the living room, but Fang Yunan and the three of them were already waiting at the door, treating a housekeeper, this kind of gift is already a big gift: "Haven't asked for advice yet?"

"In Xia Kong Mingchen, he is a housekeeper of the Leng family..."

"I don't know if Steward Kong came over this time, is there something wrong?"

Kong Mingchen glanced at Fang Yun'an, but he smiled in his heart, he came to the door with time, looking at the three people in the house, obviously the other party had already seen it: "Kong Mou went straight to the point, my lord was ambushed by bandits in Shangqiu County twice, fortunately, this time the head of the family led hundreds of people from the private soldiers, otherwise I really don't know the end..."

The three of them looked at each other for a moment, obviously these two sentences were Xingshi's question, the dignified Imperial Earl was robbed twice, this is not a past that can be fooled, if the Leng family really wants to sue, the entire Shangqiu County will have to shake the mountain, not to mention that the last incident caused the Imperial Patriotic Princesses to send someone down to inquire personally, and they didn't know how to survive that time.

Fang Yun'an immediately broke out in a cold sweat, and said with a smile: "Steward Kong, this matter is indeed my incompetence in Shangqiu County, and it is not good for the bandits, so after your lord arrives, we will personally feast your earl for understanding!" ”

Kong Mingchen smiled, picked up the tea bowl, took a sip, and said: "My lord doesn't mean to embarrass you, but this time it's too big, and my lord doesn't dare to be rash, but my lord said, there is still discussion on this matter, is Xiaqiu County under the jurisdiction of Shangqiu County after all?"

As soon as the three of them heard this, their hearts were relaxed, and it was good to discuss.

Two days later, Leng Zhuo and his entourage arrived at Shangqiu, accompanied by two hundred Xiaqiu soldiers, these soldiers escorted more than 20 carts, all of which contained wooden boxes with heads, and some prohibited items that could only be used by the royal family, such as golden dragon chairs, and some bright yellow clothes, most of which also had dragon embroidery, and in Taiqiu, the palace was also kept, and there were soldiers guarding it as evidence.

Fang Yunan and the others were extremely attentive to set up a line, and received these heads, and immediately began to check the authenticity.

"Inu Zhong, I didn't expect it to be this guy!"

"Old lady, you know this person!"

"Of course I know, the former chief of the guard of the King of Tanglin used to deal with him, but I didn't expect the old man to just come to see who the beheaded heavenly spirit was, but he didn't expect to meet the old man!"

After the three of them glanced at each other, they all gritted their teeth, obviously having made a decision.

"Hahaha, this money is really easy to earn, I got 200,000 gold coins out of thin air, counting the upper and lower hills, this income is several times more than what I took out, Mingchen, you shouldn't be a staff member, but you should go into business, there is no one more shrewd than you..."

"Thank you young master for the compliment, Shangqiu County will definitely report to the government as soon as possible, but let's do this, the news has already reached the imperial capital first, and the confirmed news of the government and county yamen will be reported to the cabinet, but no one can take away this credit, the young master is waiting for the reward of the empire..."

"Well, after being delayed here for so long, it's time to go, this road has been grinding for a long time!" Leng Zhuo nodded, the empire focuses on merit, and if you want to become a nobleman, you have to accumulate merit, because the Shenwu Emperor has clear and strict regulations on the promotion of nobles, and the emperors of subsequent dynasties have taken the chaos that almost wiped out the country a hundred years ago as a warning, so the higher the imperial noble title, the more difficult it is to promote.

The lord is a big road commodity, you can buy it if you have money, but the baron can't buy it with money, and can only rely on military exploits, and the viscount is not a great merit, as for the earl, it is already the end of the promotion of the nobles, and there are only nine marquis in the empire at present, which can be said to be extremely rare, and the earldom, every promotion is extremely difficult, but Leng Zhuo's credit this time is enough to rise to the next level, after all, the anti-king thing is more stimulating to the empire's nerves than a big victory in the northern frontier.

After the end of the Shangqiu incident, the group quickly went north, of course, it was indispensable to continue to send people along the way to spread the news, out of Shangqiu County, through Wuqing Pass, that is, the Yunzhou Plain, into the land of Gyeonggi.

"I, Leng Zhuo is here again..." Looking at the boundless Yunzhou grassland, the rolling Qinghe River surging eastward, Leng Zhuo was quite emotional.

In the winter of a year and a half ago, Leng Zhuo fled from the Guogong Mansion in embarrassment, and a year and a half later, he Leng Zhuo came back again with a swagger.

The frustration of the past has long been gone, but at this moment, Leng Zhuo is like the stars beating the moon, under the arch guard of hundreds of soldiers, he returns here again, and once again enters the heart of this empire, Leng Zhuo Note will not refer to a hurried passerby.

Turning into clouds and hands for rain, Leng Zhuo had already taken a step and stepped out, and he would continue to walk out.

Dijing, he Leng Zhuo is here again. (To be continued.)
