Chapter 291: Farewell
Walking beside Xin Yu is He Qingxiao, and beside him is a thousand winds and peace.
On both sides of the mountain road, officials with bows and crossbows stood up, and the pressure was innumerable.
The surviving rebels threw their weapons and knelt down and shouted for mercy.
Xin Yu raised her head slightly, looking above the section that was full of corpses.
The sixth master slid down from the side, ignoring the shocked shouts behind him, and ran to Xin Yu and knelt down on one knee: "Son, Yang Wuxing is not dishonored!" β
As soon as he knelt, many officials with bows and arrows couldn't help but look at Yang Xiancheng.
Although they were told that there were original mountain bandits in Wuyun Village who should cooperate with the outside and block these rebels here, they still felt unreal to see the mountain bandit leader bow down to Xin Gongzi.
The mountain bandits have a horizontal face, five big and three thick, and Xin Gongzi is thin and small, like a little girl.
Xin Yu looked at the six masters who were kneeling on one knee, and a smile appeared in his eyes.
This six-in-command, thick and fine, is also a smart person.
He bowed to her in public, not only to test whether the government would fulfill its promise, but also to exert pressure. If the promise is broken, it is morally untenable, and those who cherish their reputation will consider it carefully even if they want to regret it.
Xin Yu is not disgusted with this kind of careful thinking, and he is not hesitant to give the other party a reassurance pill on the premise that the two sides have not yet established trust.
"It's hard work, no need to be polite."
The six masters got up and walked towards Xinyu, but were stopped by Qianfeng and Ping'an, one left and one right.
Xin Yu motioned for the two to step back, looked at the cautious appearance of the six masters, and asked with a smile, "Is there anything else?" β
The six masters couldn't help but glance around.
There are Jinlinwei, government officials, surviving rebels, and their own brothers...... People are also weird.
"It's all your own people, you just say it."
The young man's calm and deep gaze made the heart of the sixth master move, and he reacted: The people present are so mixed, if he quietly talks to Xin Gongzi in his subtle identity as the leader of the mountain bandits, I don't know what speculation will be caused in the hearts of these people, and it is indeed the best to say it directly.
He no longer hesitated: "These arrogant people came to the cottage and robbed several large caravans, and they gained a lot. Except for a small portion of the money, most of it was in their hands. Today, the second boss abandoned the village and left, and they must have brought all their belongings with them......"
After listening to the six masters, Xin Yu looked at He Qingxiao.
He Qingxiao ordered: "Go and search." β
Jin Linwei searched in the past, and under the guidance of the six masters, the focus was on a few leaders, and it didn't take long to find a bunch of belongings: more than 1,000 taels of silver tickets, two bags of silver ingots about 100 taels, a bag of gold and silver jewelry, and a small bronze medal representing 10,000 taels of silver.
"Your Excellency, please take a look."
He Qingxiao's face was calm, and he asked Xin Yu, "What does Xin Gongzi think should be done with these belongings?" β
"Lord He is more experienced than me, Lord He will arrange it."
As soon as Xin Yu's words came out, a few Jin Linwei who were not convinced by his own adults obviously helping Xin Gongzi earn fame completely lost their resentment.
He Qingxiao didn't shirk it, and thought for a while: "All participants will be rewarded with ten taels of silver, and the ten squad leaders in the government will be awarded an additional five taels of silver, and another five taels will be added to the head catcher." The rest of the property was confiscated exclusively for future expenses for the arrest and suppression of bandits, and was supervised and used by Yang County. Yang Xiancheng thinks this arrangement is feasible? β
Yang Xiancheng arched his hand: "Lord He is thoughtful, and the officials admire it." β
And when the officials heard that they could get at least ten taels of silver, they couldn't help but cheer.
Ten taels of silver, enough for the family to eat, drink and chew for a year or two, this is not a small amount of money!
There were more than 100 officials who participated, and everyone was beaming, and they said in their hearts that this time the bandits were too worthwhile.
Next, the people in the government began to clean up the aftermath, and the six masters stayed by Xin Yu's side, waiting for her to arrange.
"The six masters will go back to the cottage first and ask how many people are willing to follow me, but there is one thing to make clear to them, the mountain bandits must not be able to be. You have also seen the determination of the imperial court to suppress bandits, if anyone wants to continue to engage in the old business after occupying the territory, don't blame us for being ruthless. β
"Yes, yes, I'll explain the stakes to them when I get back." The six masters can survive in the hands of those rebels in the big bosses, and they are a visionary.
The big thing of suppressing the bandits has been accomplished, and Xin Yu confided a little truth to the six masters: "We need to be light and simple on our southward journey this time, and it is inconvenient to take your obedient people with us." You will wait in Wuyun Village for the time being, and then return to Beijing with me on the return journey. β
The sixth master looked worried: "I don't know when the son will return?" β
"It's hard to say that floods are frequent in the south. If it is fast, it will take ten days and a half months, and if it is slow, it will be possible for more than a month. Tomorrow we will set out from Lingxian, and you can pick some reliable brothers to go with me, and the number will be limited to ten. β
Hearing Xin Yu say this, the six masters were relieved.
"Back to the city!" After cleaning up, the headhunter shouted vigorously.
There were more than 100 officials summoned this time, almost no injuries, either carrying the corpses of the rebels, or controlling the surviving rebels, and when they arrived at the place where the cart was hidden in advance, they threw the corpses on the cart and went towards Lingxian County.
By the time this huge team arrived at the gate of Lingxian County, it was already approaching evening.
The pawn guarding the city gate looked shocked, and in a trance to get out of the way, the people on the street looked at the carloads of corpses and were scared and excited, and followed the team to discuss enthusiastically.
The head catcher who was walking in the forefront struck the gong and shouted with all his strength: "The Wuyunzhai mountain bandits have been exterminated, the Wuyunzhai mountain bandits have been exterminatedββ"
All the people who were in the house poured out to watch.
"Didn't you say that it would be a few more days, why was it exterminated?"
"Yes, I didn't see a large number of soldiers and horses coming to our Ling County."
Some officials couldn't help but explain: "Thanks to the clever plan of Gongzi Xin and Lord He, we wiped out all the mountain bandits without a single soldier." β
"Gongzi Xin and Lord He are really the saviors of the people of our Ling County!" More and more people are looking in the direction of Xin Yu and He Qingxiao.
After that, Yang Xiancheng wrote the matter of suppressing the bandits as a song and sent it to the capital, as for the big boss and others, they were all locked up in the county government prison waiting to be dealt with, and He Qingxiao also wrote a secret letter and sent it to the imperial front.
Everything was arranged, and the next morning, Xin Yu and his party said goodbye to Yang County.
Yang Xiancheng insisted on sending him out of the city, but He Qingxiao politely refused: "We are in a hurry, so Yang Xiancheng doesn't have to send it." β
Yang Xiancheng didn't argue, and smiled meaningfully.
When he walked out of the yamen, Xin Yu looked at the hundreds of people gathered in front of the yamen, and was stunned for a while.
"Thank you Gongzi Xin and Lord He for removing the bandits in my Ling County!"
The people hula and knelt down.
Rao is Xin Yu has seen a lot of big scenes, and he is also a little panicked in the face of such a scene, and he shouts for people to get up again and again.
The group was surrounded by the people to the city gate, which had only taken more than a quarter of an hour to ride a horse, but this time it took half an hour. Finally got out of the city, Xin Yu and He Qingxiao were sweating, and hurriedly rode their horses and galloped, quite embarrassed to flee in the wilderness.
They rode away and did not look back, but Yang Xiancheng led the people of Lingxian County to deeply shake the billowing smoke and dust, and did not stand up straight for a long time.
