ruffian mixed in ancient times

Chapter 84 "Into the Mountains to Suppress Bandits"

The three of them were walking on the official road in the direction of Chengdu Fuya, and just halfway there, they saw a large number of officers and soldiers running towards them in front of them. The door was closed tightly and dared not open.

"Master Qiu, that's him." As soon as the group of big arresters arrived, all the arresting guards surrounded them in an instant, and they seemed to be determined not to stop until they were arrested.

"Who are you, and what are you doing here?" the big catcher called Master Qiu, a middle-aged man with a moustache.

"I passed this place on my way back to Jinling from Tubo." Ah Zhen saw that Master Qiu was not like a big catcher, he was going to arrest people and confiscate goods as soon as he came, so Jian replied angrily.

Master Qiu saw Ah Zhen's extraordinary appearance, nodded his head and said politely: "You hurt my yamen guard, you should go back to the yamen and explain the matter clearly."

"Of course, lead the way." Ah Zhen made a gesture of invitation.

Master Qiu didn't say anything when he saw that he was cooperating so much, a group of yamen guards guarded Ah Zhen and the three and walked towards the yamen.

Ah Zhen and the three had just been brought back to the public hall of the government office, and when they were carefully looking at the Chengdu government office, Mr. Qiu shouted: "The master is promoted!"

"Mighty!" Master Qiu shouted, and the servants standing on both sides immediately shouted, with a mighty and serious momentum.

Ah Zhen saw Master Qiu walking out of the side hall of the lobby with a person about his age in his arms, and he thought it was Zhong Zhicheng.

Zhong Zhicheng was scooped up by Mr. Qiu while he was having a sweet dream, and sued someone for beating an official servant. After hearing the report, his heart trembled. Even the official servant dared to beat him.When he came out of the side hall, before he saw who was standing below, he sat on the upper hall and grabbed the gavel with his hand and clapped: "Who is in the lower hall?"

The yamen servants on both sides of this shot were "mighty" again

The majestic voices of the yamen servants on both sides hadn't finished yet, Zhong Zhicheng raised his eyes and finally saw who was standing under the hall. This made him, who was originally sitting comfortably, slip and fall from the hall chair, and the cold sweat on his forehead kept flowing.He was one of the few people who had seen this great Sima sent out to officials.

Seeing the master slipping and falling from the chair, Mr. Qiu hurriedly stepped forward to help him, but he didn't understand why the master was so frightened.

"Hurry up, hurry up." Mr. Qiu helped his master up, and he heard their master's murmur incessantly.Immediately don't understand what to do quickly?
Zhong Zhicheng ran towards Ah Zhen in a panic, the sweat dripping from his forehead, and he clapped his sleeves and shouted: "I have seen Lord Sima, but I didn't know that Lord Sima was coming, so I lost my way to welcome him. I am guilty." After finishing speaking, he knelt down on the ground.

The scene was reversed in an instant, making all the yamen servants dumbfounded, the big catcher and Mr. Qiu turned pale, they never thought that this young man turned out to be Lord Sima at such a young age.

Who is Da Sima?Although they had never seen it in person, word had already spread in restaurants and teahouses. The storyteller had a good story about saving the prince on a single ride, Qinshan was on fire, and Zarba defeated the Japanese army.This is a true master who kills without blinking an eye.

The big catcher was still majestic just now, seeing the master kowtow and call Da Sima, thinking of what Da Sima did, he was so frightened that his breath almost died, and Master Qiu also ran forward and fell to his knees, The sound of knocking brain melon seeds shook the sky.

Ah Zhen is lame, this big head catcher is afraid of doing anything wrong, now he has no time to pay attention to him, he walked to the lobby and sat down on the desk, and shouted: "Get up!" Xiang Shaoyun and the general stood there expressionlessly. behind.

"Xie Da Sima." Zhong Zhicheng stood up with a group of people trembling, and sat in the lobby in a daze, waiting to speak.

"Zhong Zhicheng." Ah Zhen shouted expressionlessly after sitting down.

"Weichen" Zhong Zhicheng saw that he was named, and walked forward tremblingly with his fists clasped.

"Have you ever heard of Heimei Mountain?" Ah Zhen asked, with a rebuke in his words.

Zhong Zhicheng groaned secretly in his heart, the sweat on his forehead kept breaking out, and he fell to his knees and kept pleading guilty.

Ah Zhen saw that this person was a smart person, and he knew what Zhong Zhicheng was going to say when he asked Zhong Zhicheng, what a good bun.

"Since we know that the bandits in Heimei Mountain are rampant, why haven't we sent people to eradicate them for so long?" After talking about the Da Pai Tang case.

This beat immediately jumped the hearts of everyone in the hall to their throats.

Zhong Zicheng gritted his teeth and cried bitterly. It's not that he didn't suppress it, but that he was powerless." He told Da Sima that Heimei Mountain, where the Heimei Mountain bandits were located, was on the border of Tubo. Ah Zhen gritted his teeth when he saw his expressionless face, "I am afraid of undermining the peace initiative between the two countries, so I dare not send troops there."

Ah Zhen, who was originally expressionless, slapped the desk louder when he heard his words, and angrily said: "Bastard, Tubo and I have made good friends, you should send someone to write a letter to the Tubo resident in Jianchang, It is right for the two countries to discuss how to suppress the bandits. As local parents, even a few hundred bandits can’t do anything about it. How can you say that there is too much power? Believe it or not, I sent you to the bandits in Heimei Mountain?"

"Damn my humble minister, damn my humble minister." As soon as Ah Zhen finished roaring, he knelt down on the ground and the floor where Zhong Zhicheng knocked his head creaked.

"Get up, within half a cup of tea, gather all the servants outside the house for me, even the cooks in the kitchen asked them to carry the kitchen knife to me and wait outside the door." Ah Zhen saw that Zhong Zicheng's forehead was blue, Slowed down his anger and ordered solemnly.

"Yes." Without Zhong Zhi personally ordering, the big catcher next to him had already gone for a walk and disappeared.

Soon, the fastest and largest number of servants gathered outside the Chengdu government.

Ah Zhen stepped out of the mansion, and saw that all the guards outside had gathered, and nodded.

"Report to Da Sima, all [-] guards have been collected." The big catcher weakly clasped his fists to report to Da Sima.

Ah Zhen looked at the officials standing in the snow and shouted: "There are hundreds of bandits in Heimei Mountain ahead, and all of us are well-trained officials. The common people need you, and Da Zhou also needs you. Now is the time to make contributions, we want the common people to see that there is only heartless admiration in our eyes, if we don’t suppress the bandits in Heimei Mountain, do we want the common people to suppress them without the power to restrain them?”

The words were impassioned and eloquent, and immediately won the approval of all the officers.

"Don't be afraid, show the momentum of our Da Zhou men. Like the Da Zhou sergeants I lead, charge into the battle, thirsty to drink the enemy's blood, hungry to eat the enemy's flesh, and everyone marched towards Heimei Mountain."

After shouting again, the morale of the guards was high.It is the greatest honor in their life to be able to go into the mountains with this legendary Da Sima who is like a god-man to suppress bandits.

One thousand and fifty Chengdu officials followed Ah Zhen on a horse galloping on the confused white snow, marching mightily towards Mount Heimei.

After running for more than an hour, the surrounding mountains were stacked, and Ah Zhen couldn't tell the direction.

When the big catcher just called out, all the guards got off their horses, and he asked the big catcher: "Big catcher, which is Heimei Mountain?"

"Reporting to Da Sima Yue, this mountain is Heimei Mountain, but"

"Say," Ah Zhen saw him shouting hesitantly.

"Heimei Mountain, half belongs to Dazhou and half belongs to Tubo. Our more than 1000 people are very active, and we are afraid that the Jianchang Tibetan soldiers will come here if they know it."

"Order everyone to enter the mountain, and at sunset, I will wipe out the bandits' nest in Heimei Mountain." Ah Zhen didn't care, it was better if the Jianchang soldiers came.

"Yes." The big catcher should be, shouting loudly to more than 1000 people: "Go into the mountain." In an instant, all the guards followed the big catcher into the mountain forest in an orderly manner.

"Da Sima, the Black Eyebrow Mountain is here." A group of people walked for a while, and the big catcher stopped at the side of a big mountain and pointed to the mountain.

Ah Zhen looked around, the green and bare vegetation was stained white by the heavy snow, and the mountain was lined with pine forests with lush branches and leaves, and the height of the peak reached into the sky.

"Catch the head, do the bandits live on the top of the peak?" Ah Zhen asked curiously when he saw the peak that went straight into the sky. One must be as strong as an ox.

"Report to Da Sima, the bandits always live on the mountainside." The chief arrester gave a concise report.

Ah Zhen nodded, thinking about it, "Send spies up to investigate." Ah Zhen ordered the chief catcher.

It took a long time for the spies to return and report: "Report to Chief Sima, the bandits know that our army is coming and gather at the waist, and there are clear gates and hidden cards along the coating." The spies were obviously under attack, holding their bleeding arms and gritted their teeth to report.

"Okay, let's go down and rest." Seeing that the spy was ambushed, Ah Zhen patted him on the shoulder vigorously and said with eyes of praise.

The spies were greatly encouraged, and retreated happily.

"Da Sima is not good." The chief catcher shouted to him from afar in a panic.

"You bastard, what are you panicking about?" Ah Zhen saw that the head catcher kept yelling unhappily, which made the guards nervous.

"Yes, yes, Jianchang soldiers are here." As soon as the big catcher finished speaking, a man dressed as a Tubo soldier came out and asked him: "Our capital ordered me to ask why a large number of Dazhou soldiers gathered in the I am in Tubo."

"Take this and order your capital to come see me right away." Seeing the Tubo soldiers asking, Ah Zhen handed Xiang Lian to him and ordered without answering.

Seeing the majesty of this man, the Tubo soldiers pouted and retreated without asking any more questions.

Soon, the capital of Jianchang, who was wearing the Tubo official mansion, rushed to meet Ah Zhen, knelt down and shouted: "My servant Li Si, I will meet King Chagel."

"Get up." Ah Zhen called Li Si up and said, "Li Si, how many Jianchang soldiers did you bring?"

"Yes, I report to King Chagar, and my servants brought 300 people."

"Okay" Li Si just shouted "Hello" to Ah Zhen.

Zhong Zhicheng and his group saw the Tubo officials kneel and kowtow to their chief Sima, shouting King Chagar.Suddenly, I thought that the storyteller in the teahouse deified their Da Sima into a god-like figure, and even said that their Da Sima was the King Chagar of Tubo. They didn't believe it at first, but now they are speechless when they see it .What kind of character is their big Sima?
Ah Zhen Wuya went to explain why he was King Chagar of Tubo. He stared deeply at the mountain peak, which was covered with thick snow, and a terrible thought immediately popped into his mind.

"Shaoyun, if there is an avalanche, do you think these bandits will all die in battle?" Ah Zhen asked with a dark smile, and Xiang Shaoyun frowns.

Everyone was shocked by this question, yes.This is the best way to wipe out all bandits without casualties. Unexpectedly, Da Sima and King Chagel thought of it in a flash, and he had infinite admiration for him in his heart.

"Order, Jianchang, all the soldiers in Chengdu immediately approach the mountains and shout and hit." Ah Zhen shouted the order.

In an instant, the soldiers and horses of the two cities moved forward and moved closer to the mountains. After a while, there was a shocking sound, the sound of charging and crashing into the surrounding area, howling ghosts and wolves.

The mountains shook and the ground shook for a while, and from time to time, small pieces of snow fell off the peaks.Everyone was shocked when they saw it, it was only a small part, and when it all fell down, the halfway up the mountain would be the best burial place for the bandits.

"Brother Zhen, from this point of view, the snow" Xiang Shaoyun was stunned. Before he finished speaking, he saw a large amount of snow falling from the top of the mountain, and the tumbling snow rolled from the top of the mountain like waves tumble down.

"Report to Da Sima, the bandit crown on the mountain has come down." After the chief catcher shouted, he saw the bandits running down the mountainside in panic, and immediately encountered the guards from the two countries who blocked him.For a moment, the blood flowed into rivers, but he ordered the complete annihilation. In an instant, the blood dyed the white snow red.

"Report to Da Sima and King Chagel that all the bandits at the foot of the mountain were wiped out." Zhong Zicheng and the capital of Jianchang have good news.

"Order all the guards to go up the mountain and search carefully. Except for the strong men, they are not allowed to harm any women, children, or the elderly." A Zhen ordered that the bandits would have family members, and that the disaster would not be as good as the family members.

"Yes" the guards of the two countries clasped their fists and shouted together, and the mighty guards disappeared into the forest in an instant.

After a lot of work until it was dark, the Black Eyebrow Mountain was finally emptied. Sure enough, there were family members of bandits on the mountain, and many good girls who had been captured as concubines. , The bandits were found to rob a lot of property.Order the city governments of the two countries to issue a notice to inform the people that the bandits in Heimei Mountain have been wiped out, and those who have lost property will come to claim it, and those who pretend to be the leader will be punished with death.As soon as this list was posted, many people cheered. The merchants who were looted by the bandits were dark-faced, although they lost their property.But impostors will be executed again, regardless of whether they are robbed or not. If they accidentally miss the number at that time, the gain will not be worth the loss, so many people embrace it as a good deed. Anyway, Heimeishan After being suppressed, there will be no need to detour around the two countries in the future. I am happy to think of this.

Ah Zhen had already figured out the thoughts of these businessmen. After this list was posted, no one came to claim the lost property.Divide the lost property into two parts, one part was given to the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty, and the other part was given to the capital of Tubo to bring it back to their king, and then a reward of one or two bravery fees was given to the officers of the two countries. Another five taels of medical expenses will be rewarded.After some rewards and punishments were clearly dealt with, it won a high praise.The people are happy, the guards are also happy, and Ah Zhen is even happier.These rewards were all deducted from the gangsters, not to mention he touched a few exquisite bead chains and planned to give them to Wan'er and Yun'er when he went back.Move your legs and open your mouth, you don't need him to charge forward, there are still benefits to be gained, it's no wonder you're unhappy.

In the end, he carefully and meticulously interrogated the arrested gangsters before beating them, and after beating them, they tried them again, over and over again, and after weeks and weeks, he was so tired that he had only half his life left. .

Yun Richu and the young general also came back, Yun Richu's nose was red from crying.A group of people returned to the inn, and the store manager saw that the boss was coming again, and hurried out to greet him.

Ah Zhen and his group asked for several rooms, ordered people to prepare hot water, wine and food, and returned to the room in a happy mood to count the bead chains he picked up from the bandits, smiling from ear to ear.

As soon as Ah Zhen left, Xiang Shaoyun saw that Yun Richu was at a loss, blushing and didn't know what to do.

"Richu, come here. Go back to your room and take a shower." After saying that, she led Yun Richu to her room, and when she opened the door, Yun Richu saw the exquisitely carved beams and painted pillars and jade wares inside. His body did not dare to move.It looks so expensive, and she can't afford to break it accidentally, "Master Xiang, Richu can just sleep in the firewood room." Yun Richu has never slept in such a luxurious room, and the fear is beyond words.

Hearing what she said, Xiang Shaoyun smiled very gently, "What a silly girl." He murmured, stretching out his right hand to rest on Yun Richu's temple and gently rubbing it.

Such an intimate act made Yun Richu blush and sweet-hearted, and the room was extremely warm.

"Master Xiang, the old slave buried the "tavern manager" into the room, held up his clothes and shouted, in the middle of shouting, Master Xiang put his hand on Yun Richu's head and stroked it, and Yun Richu lowered his head even more. With his head down and his face full of shyness, he suddenly knew what stupid thing he had done, and he replied with embarrassment and one foot stayed in mid-air, neither advancing nor retreating.

"Ah, the shopkeeper is here, have you bought everything?" Xiang Shaoyun blushed slightly, coughing and asking the shopkeeper calmly.

"Ah, ah, yes, yes, Mr. Xiang, it's sold back, and it's all the top materials." The shopkeeper also immediately turned back his embarrassing old face, and replied as if nothing had happened.

"Okay, okay, go get busy first." Xiang Shaoyun was still very uncomfortable, and ordered after taking the pile of women's clothes from the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper didn't dare to stay for a moment, and immediately disappeared at the end of the corridor.

"Richu, take a bath quickly, and change into this clothes, it's very warm." Xiang Shaoyun frowned as he looked at Yun Richu's jacket that had been patched with hundreds of patches.

When Yun Richu, who was originally shy, heard his words, she was moved to tears in an instant on her little face with no nourishment. "Master Xiang, even ten thousand deaths at the beginning of the day will not be able to repay your kindness." After speaking, he knelt heavily on the ground, sobbing with tears on his face, unable to utter a thousand words.

"Get up, get up." Xiang Shaoyun pulled her up, stuffed the clothes into her arms and said, "Hurry up and wash, and come out to eat quickly after washing." After speaking, Xiang Shaoyun took a walk and disappeared in the End of corridor.

Yun Richu was holding the soft velvet clothes that he had stuffed into his arms, and tears of emotion kept flowing.She is just a lowly person, how can He De get such love from Lord Xiang.
