Chapter 025: County Lieutenant
"Lord Lieutenant, I found a secret passage. ”
Inside the courtyard, there was a sudden shout, and even Yao Qian, who was contemplating outside the courtyard, was alarmed, and unconsciously raised his eyes to look over.
Throwing away the black ash in his hand and slapping it again, he walked into the courtyard.
When he walked into the room, Lao Wang and two guards had already entered the secret passage, he looked towards the secret passage, the secret passage was actually hidden under the bed, and I don't know who discovered the mystery of this bed board.
Suppressing the chaos in my heart, it's not like I'm thinking about those sneaky things now.
And fantasy is useless, the strength is not enough, even if you want to break your head, it is just unfounded.
Coming to the chair and sitting down, he slowly closed his eyes, pretending to sleep to recuperate, but it was only a pillar of incense, and suddenly there were voices from far and near in the secret passage.
The voice grew clearer and louder, and several people in the room drew their swords and took precautions.
The same goes for Yao Qian, just in case.
After waiting for a while, with a coughing sound, Lao Wang came out of the secret passage, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Then I saw men and women with withered and haggard faces crawling out of the secret passage.
Most of these people were in rags, and they all exuded a strange smell, and there was no food on their faces, as if they had been tortured a lot during this time.
Not only physically, but also mentally.
These people crawled out of the secret passage, their expressions still sluggish and stiff, like a walking corpse, soulless.
When the two guards who went in with Lao Wang came out at the end, they could still see that the two of them were pale, trembling, as if they had seen some terrifying scene.
Lao Wang sighed and said, "Yuanzhen, you take them out first, as for this place, you can't stay anymore." ”
Yao Qian looked at the appearance of these three people, and probably guessed that the secret passage was definitely a terrifying scene that challenged the limits of human nature, but he didn't say anything, just pointed at the two of them at random, and then walked out of the courtyard.
He led the way, with the soulless young men and women in the middle, followed by two guards.
Yao Qian followed the road he came from and walked to the front yard, and a smell of blood came to his face.
On the ground, corpses fell to the ground horizontally, but they probably formed a circle, especially the innermost layer, where corpses were piled up, and blood continued to flow down the corpses, forming small puddles of blood.
Seeing the crossbow arrows stuck in these corpses, he also knew how Lao Wang turned defeat into victory.
Otherwise, with the strength of the ten-man guard, even if they form an iron bucket formation, it is already rare to remain undefeated, and it will be even more difficult to turn the tables around.
It seems that the Divine Crossbow has done a great job.
However, this thought flashed in his mind, and he walked out of the mansion gate, and after a while, he saw Lao Wang and the others walking out of the courtyard quickly, and walked back towards the official mansion in the east of the city with these people.
It was only a cup of tea before they left, and the fire in the Chengnan Mansion was already burning, like a huge torch, reflecting the dark sky red.
Fortunately, this mansion is already desolate, and there are no other houses around, otherwise Chen Shanqi would not have used it as a base for human trafficking.
Back in the official mansion, the prefect took his masters to settle the people, and Lao Wang took him to the best hospital in Binh Duong to treat his injuries.
Time flies so fast, two days pass in the blink of an eye.
To say that the most lively thing in Pingyang City in the past two days is that Chen Shanqi, the leader of the Pingyang underworld for decades, was strangled by the government, which confirmed that he was the mastermind behind the manipulation of the entire Pingyang underground human trafficking.
After this case was handled, it immediately shocked most of the city fox society rats, and for a while, the public security of the entire Pingyang rose to a higher level, causing the people to shout Lord Qingtian, and the prefect of Le couldn't see a pair of eyes.
After the yamen, the prefect's face was full of joy, and he held Yao Gan's hand and said: "This time, thanks to Yuan Zhenxian's nephew, the harm for the people, the old man said at the beginning, as long as Yuan Zhenxian's nephew can get rid of this Pingyang evil, the government is willing to give a reward of two hundred taels of silver." ”
As he spoke, he glanced outside the back yamen and shouted, "Come on, bring the things." ”
Immediately, three men in Tsing Yi walked in with a plate in their hands, and there was a silver cake on the plate.
It was the first time for Yao Qian to see so much silver in front of him, although it was thousands of taels last time, it was just a few pieces of paper, and he couldn't be shocked by the real silver cake in front of him.
However, his heart is very plain, after all, for a person worth thousands of taels, two hundred taels is not a huge amount of money.
"Thank you, then, sir. ”
Although I don't care much about it in my heart, the etiquette on the surface must be done sufficiently.
And this time he was injured so badly, he hasn't recovered yet, his face is pale, and his strength can only be displayed for five or six percent, and he doesn't know how long it will take to cultivate to recover to the peak.
If you want to send him away with just two hundred taels, isn't that too simple?
In the past two days since he was injured, he had already communicated with Lao Wang, and with this credit, he just became the county lieutenant of the county seat under Pingyang City.
Just like Chen Zekuan at the beginning.
Although he is not enthusiastic about the promotion of official positions, with the skin of this level of government, for him, there are only benefits, no harm.
If you are really unlucky, like Chen Zekuan, then you will slip away and escape, anyway, everything is subject to life-saving.
"My lord, Yuan Zhen has made such a great contribution for the sake of the lord and the court to exterminate this fang this time, and even almost died himself, how can he be rewarded with only two hundred taels, doesn't it seem that the adult is too harsh on his family?"
Lao Wang stood up and said in a muffled voice.
The fat-like prefect stroked the beard under his chin, looking even more obscene, like a big mouse, nodded, squinted and said: "What Lao Wang said is very true, I don't know what Yuanzhen wants, although it is said that this mansion has always been generous and tight to its own people." ”
Before Yao Qian could speak, Lao Wang continued: "What my lord said is that for the sake of the people of Pingyang, the Ming Mansion has worked hard and exhausted, and the entire government has seen it, and naturally knows that the Ming Mansion is not a harsh person, but it is difficult for the foolish men and women outside to know this kind of truth. This time, Yuan Zhen made such a contribution, and it just happened that there was a lack of a county lieutenant in Kunyang, so it was better to let Yuan Zhen experience there first, and then come back as soon as possible to continue to serve the Ming Mansion. ”
The prefect was still pinching his beard beautifully, listening to Lao Wang's praise, and his face turned into a chrysanthemum, but after listening to his words, his face turned bitterly, and he turned his face like turning a book, and said dejectedly: "What, let Yuanzhen go to Kunyang? Isn't it a little far, and Yuanzhen's injury has not healed yet, so it's better to think about it in the long run?"
Lao Wang still didn't know the prefect's idea of delaying for a long time, and flatly refused: "Mingfu, we all know your love for Yuanzhen, but people outside don't know, besides, let Yuanzhen experience it, it will be a good thing for him and adults, and it will be better for adults in the future......"
Lao Wang and the prefect argued for a while, and the prefect reluctantly agreed with a bitter face.
After he recovered from his injuries, he went to Kunyang to take up his post.
finally got a satisfactory reward, Yao Gan's injuries were not yet fully healed, so he left first.
