The smell of gunpowder smoke from the cannons and guns had not completely dissipated, the battlefield was still dusty, and a large group of enemy soldiers had their weapons collected and sat on the side with their heads in their hands.

A group of children were running around the battlefield, looking for buckshot in the dirt, under the rocks, and among the grass.

Xing Hongwolf has just issued an order to retrieve a lead bullet and will pay two copper coins to the children, so the children are very motivated now.

Not to mention children, many adult people have also joined in the search for lead bullets, but there are fewer such adults, and those who have a little strength are now going to do the work of digging pits and burying corpses, and the wages over there are higher.

"Report!" A squad leader came over and reported to Xing Hongwolf: "Wang Guozhong has been awarded the head, and more than 200 bandits have been killed in battle, and more than 2,700 people have been captured. ”

Xing Hongwolf nodded: "According to the same method used to deal with young and middle-aged rogues last time, all these people will be sent to the labor camp." ”

Captain: "Yes!" ”

After Xing Hongwolf gave the order, he was a little worried: "In our battle, we didn't even return a single prisoner to the imperial court, and all of them were taken to Gaojia Village, which is equivalent to killing them all." I don't know if this matter can be handled perfectly after Yang He arrives. ”

Old Nanfeng came out from the side and said with a smile: "Master Xing, you still don't know much about the imperial court, like Wang Guozhong, a general who has just surrendered from Liukou to the officers and soldiers, the imperial court doesn't care about his life or death at all, and the three thousand soldiers under his command are not only useless to the imperial court, but a big burden, the imperial court not only has to prevent Wang Guozhong from rebelling again, but also has to pay his people food and salary, spending a lot of money." Therefore, when the court heard that Wang Guozhong was killed by us, not only would it not be angry, but it would be quite happy. ”

Xing Hongwolf: "......"

Lao Nanfeng: "Of course, it's useless to be happy secretly, on the surface, you must come up with a reason to explain, otherwise the imperial court will still have to investigate, at this time, we will send Yang He in advance to sue the wicked person first, and it can play a role." ”

Xing Hongwolf completely understood at this time: I see.

"Okay, before Yang He arrives, hide all our cannons, and hide a large part of the firecrackers, and only leave a small number of smoothbore bird guns for Yang He to see."

Xing Hongwolf beckoned to the lying rabbit again: "Master Rabbit, Master Rabbit, come here." ”

The lying rabbit ran over with a smile: "What's wrong?" What does my sister-in-law command? ”

Xing Hongwolf said: "When Yang He came, they had to hide on the fifth day of the first month, Da Niu, and Lao Nanfeng, and it was not suitable to accompany me to see Yang He, but you are very suitable, you go with me to accept the first and drink the wine." ”

The lying rabbit said "huh", a little unresponsive: "Why are they not suitable?" ”

Xing Hongwolf: "The old Nanfeng has the taste of officers and soldiers, so there is no need to explain it, the fifth day of the first month, the big cow, and the soap warbler, they have been in Gaojia Village for too long, and they lack a temperament, huh...... A special temperament. ”

Lying on the ground rabbit is overjoyed: "Yo, you mean, they lack the temperament, I have it?" ”

Xing Hongwolf nodded: "Yes!" ”

The lying rabbit said happily: "I understand, you are talking about the heroic spirit of walking the rivers and lakes." ”

Xing Hongwolf: "I haven't seen the world, the unique stupid and pretending kind of anger, I really can't find the right word to say it, anyway, it's like a thief who just came out of the mountains." ”

Lying Rabbit: "......"——

A few days later, Yang He came!

He did not come from the north, but first went to Xi'an, then from Xi'an to the east, through Weinan, Huayin, Huashan, all the way to Tongguan, and then took a boat in Tongguan, crossed the Yellow River, and arrived at the southwest corner of Shanxi Province, where he walked dozens of miles north.

He did not go directly to Yongji Gudu Wharf, but entered Puzhou City first.

The governor of the three sides is a super big official, bigger than the governor of a province, and there are thousands of people in his entourage alone.

As soon as Yang He entered this Puzhou City, he felt that something was wrong.

The people here don't seem to be as miserable as other places, and this place has obviously suffered from drought, but it hasn't seen the miserable situation of starvation everywhere.

Yang He: "Qiu Zhizhou, this Puzhou, the governance is not bad." ”

Swing flipped and hurriedly saluted: "Puzhou has always been dominated by industry and commerce, and in this year of great drought, although it has been affected by some influences, it is slightly better than the places where agriculture is the mainstay. ”

Yang He nodded, and the tone of his words changed: "On the way here, I heard that Xing Hongwolf, who is stationed in Yongji, and Wang Guozhong, the deputy general of Puzhou who has just arrived here, seem to have some ......."

As soon as he said this, Swing turned over and showed a strange expression on his face.

Yang He, a big official, the channel to get the news, is these low-level officials, as soon as they saw his expression, they knew that the story was coming, and they picked up the teacup and waited to listen to him.

Swing sighed: "Yongji Xing Red Wolf, stationed at Yongji Gudu Wharf, has actually been stationed for a year. In the third year of Chongzhen, when the thieves from Shaanxi entered Shaanxi one after another, Xing Hongwolf came to Yongji Gudu and built a water village there......"

After Yang He heard this, he said, "Huh": "It's been a year?" Why not report it to the authorities? ”

Swing cried and laughed and said: "How can the lower officials not report it?" After the matter was reported, there was no follow-up, and the governor of Shanxi and the general soldiers of Shanxi were busy pursuing Wang Jiayin everywhere, and they were all left alone. ”

Yang He: "Then, she ...... in this year"

Swing sighed: "Xing Hongwolf came here for a year, not only did not harass the good people, but solved a lot of difficulties for the people, she defeated the old Zhang Feibu who burned and looted here, and did not know where to transport a lot of food, relieved a lot of victims, hired some people to help her build a water village, and paid these people. ”

Yang He: "! ”

That's outrageous!

Yang He couldn't help but spit out: "Is this a rogue?" ”

Swing said: "She's not actually a rogue, she can only be regarded as a smuggler of salt." Lord Yang, you may not know much about our Puzhou, Puzhou City has been a gathering place for illicit salt dealers since ancient times, although some smuggler salt dealers are extremely vicious, killing people and setting fires to do anything, but most of the smuggler is still a businessman in his bones. ”

Speaking of this, Swing Flip concluded: "Xing Hongwolf is hiring workers and building a water village as a businessman, which looks a bit like self-protection in a world where rogues are rampant. ”

When Yang He heard him say this, he really suspected that this Zhizhou had received money from Xing Hongwolf, so he helped him say good things.

But...... He hadn't heard of Xing Hongwolf doing anything bad, so what Qiu Zhizhou said, maybe he could believe it.

Yang He's tone changed: "What about Wang Guozhong?" After he came......"
