Huanxi Farm: Pick up a husband for farming

Chapter 122 Escorted down the mountain

After the gunpowder, Huchangzhai was even more bleak and desolate. The war was in a mess, and there were officers and soldiers escorting the bandits everywhere, and there were also people who were busy clearing the stolen goods from the cottage.

Huang Zhi was busy in charge of the whole aftermath work, he was not satisfied with the items being carried up in front of him, and confirmed to the team leader again and again: "Why is there only this thing?! Why is such a big bandit den not as good as some ordinary wealthy people's homes? How many belongings do you have?!"

The team leader affirmed: "Master Huang, we have searched the entire cottage according to the entire map, and there are indeed only these things."

Huang Zhi stepped forward to check carefully, kicked a few large boxes of worn cotton clothes for the winter, picked up a money jar and poured out a few pieces of silver.

He clicked his tongue again and again, and sighed: "Could it be that this group of gangsters really took all the money to rob the rich and help the poor?"

After asking himself, he ordered people to move down the mountain to the county office.

At the other end of the stockade, Shan Hu looked at Miss Rong's expression, and didn't feel that there was anything wrong with what he just said to Rong Shui.

He said frankly: "Of course! I definitely can't make you make such a big sacrifice!"

But Rong Xiaomei felt extremely wronged after hearing this, her contribution was unnecessary and unnecessary in the eyes of others, she had completely misunderstood Shan Hu's meaning.

Seeing the relationship between the two and Rong Xiaomei's weird expression, Rong Shui suddenly had a thought, all that Rong Xiaomei did for Shanhu was not because she likes Shanhu? !

But for this bold idea, he didn't dare to ask easily without evidence, which made the two of them embarrassed, Rong Xiaomei was dissatisfied at this time, and Rong Shui also saw the unspeakable boredom.

The shrewd one knew that the younger sister had misunderstood the meaning of Shan Hu's words, but she saw it in her eyes and kept it in her heart and didn't tell the truth.

Rong Xiaomei looked at Junli who was standing not far away, and suddenly realized that it was a bit inappropriate for her to attack at any time.

So she put this matter aside first, remembering her purpose of going up the mountain again, she turned her head to Rong Shui and said, "Second Sister, Younger Sister wants to ask you something today, please be sure to agree!"

Rong Shui used his toes to think about what Rong Xiaomei was going to say!Does this girl expect anyone not to know when she shows her heart clearly?The left and right are just begging her to let Shanhu go.

Hey... Rong Shui sighed softly in his heart, this girl still thinks he is omnipotent!One must know that this time, Huang Zhi spent a lot of manpower and financial resources to arrest the Bandit this time, how could it be possible for her to let go of the bandit leader just like a little girl?
Rong Shui stopped asking her what was the matter, and directly refused: "Little sister Rong, you just give up! I can't help you with this job, and no one can. Today, Shan Hu He must be imprisoned."
Rong Xiaomei also knows that things are not easy, but Rong Shui's blunt denunciation without leaving any room for maneuver still makes her extremely disappointed.

He could only retort weakly: "Second Sister, Brother Shanhu is really not a bad person! He kidnapped you that day because he was hired by someone, but he never thought of harming you! And Huchangzhai is not a villain at all. What a den of bandits and thieves! They are all good people, and they have never done anything harmful!"

Er Qiangzi is an elf, and he had been standing on the sidelines secretly watching, but when he saw that Rong Shui was determined to say that he couldn't help Huchangzhai, he became anxious, and he didn't care about helping Shanhu and Huchangzhai with Rong Xiaomei. Pray that Rongshui will be merciful and let the mountain tiger go.

So he confides bitterness: "Miss Rongshui! The owner of Shanhu Village was born in poverty since childhood! When he was younger, he was cared for by his mother, but he couldn't eat enough and had no choice but to sell his son. How could he live in a family with the same family background? Knowing that the family abused their wives and children and owed gambling debts, they wanted to sell Brother Shanhu and go to that brothel to become a slave! Brother Shanhu escaped and was adopted by the old village owner!"

Shan Hu didn't have time to stop Er Qiangzi's quick mouth, and he continued: "But Miss Rong, don't look at Brother Shan Hu who suffered so much when he was a child, but he didn't hate the world at all. Since he became the head of the village, Carrying forward the reputation of our Huchangzhai, we only robbed those rich and heartless businessmen and corrupt officials! And the excess money was distributed to the poor families at the foot of the mountain. How many good things have we done for the common people! If you don’t believe me, you can ask.”

Er Qiangzi was sad and indignant, feeling that Huchangzhai and Big Brother Shanhu really shouldn't have collapsed just like that, so he said to Rongshui with snot and tears: "If Miss Rong blames me for kidnapping you and your friends that day, why not?" It’s all because I’m scaring you for letting me go to jail, you can drag me to see the officials, but please let Brother Shanhu go.”

Shan Hu felt uncomfortable watching others cry for him, and scolded: "Get up! What are you doing? Who wants you to go to jail?"

Rong Shui observed these few people, Er Qiangzi was sincere, and there was no pretense in his heartfelt confession, and his sincerity could be learned from the world, and he was willing to sacrifice himself and go to prison for the sake of Shanhu.

Thinking back on that the bandit leader had indeed experienced ups and downs, and it was rare for him to maintain such a good character, he couldn't help feeling a little moved.

Think about it too, which person who drifted to the mountains as a bandit didn't have a miserable childhood?In order to make a living and survive for a living, he embarked on the path of injustice. As a leader, Shan Hu can still insist on helping the weak. This Rong Shui seems to be commendable.

But... There are some things that she can't decide because of her pity, and things are just like what she said just now, whether Shan Hu is arrested today is not something she can interfere with at all.

Rong Shui comforted Rong Xiaomei and Er Qiangzi who were crying into a ball, and said: "It's really not easy for you, and I believe for the time being that you have never done anything harmful to nature, but I really have no way to let you go. Going to prison is out of the question."

Younger sister Rong's eyes were swollen and the size of peach kernels, and she was heartbroken when she heard that things still didn't go as planned. Rong Shui patted the younger girl's back, thinking that the older the little girl, the more tears she shed.
Seeing this, he couldn't bear it and said: "It's useless for you to do this. Shanhu must enter the county government today, but whether he will be imprisoned or how long he will be imprisoned has not yet been determined. If it is true as you said, you have not been accused of harming the people. , to tell the truth, I... I will still tell Mr. Huang to see clearly."

Miss Rong held back her tears, the second sister was already willing to step back, but she knew what was good and bad, and knew that this might be the best solution.

She held Rong Shui's arm and said sadly: "Second Sister, you must rescue Big Brother Shanhu."

Rong Shui frowned, how could this little girl face a strange kidnapper like this?Hey... I really treat him like my own husband.

Rong Shui said seriously: "Sister Rong, don't waste your time here, you and Er Qiangzi go down the mountain for a while and Junli should find out! Since I promised you, I will do my best as I said! "

Rong Xiaomei took three steps and turned her head, and was dragged away by Er Qiangzi.

Shanhu and her eyes intertwined, conveying a little unknown friendship in a blink of an eye.

Rong Shui watched the two go down the mountain quietly, and then said to Shan Hu: "I will return to the county government in a while, and I may temporarily imprison you in a prison, and then I will be interrogated on another day. Don't confess anything during the interrogation!"

Shan Hu replied: "Don't worry, Miss Rongshui, I have my own sense of propriety, and I know what to say and what not to say."

Rong Shui nodded: "It's good to understand, I will try my best to help you if I make a promise, not just because of my little sister, but because I want to believe that you are kind in nature and have done something for the poor, shouldn't you I have suffered such retribution, but... I can't promise you anything."

Shan Hu is naturally sensible, he doesn't place his hopes on Rong Shui as a man, in his view, life and death are fearless and right up to the world, no need to struggle, but he can't let down little sister Rong's hard work.

Rong Shui sees that what he said is almost the same, after calling Jun Li, he will escort Shan Hu to Huang Zhi's place, and go down the mountain with the army to return to the city.

When they arrived at the county government office, a group of people celebrated the complete success of the bandit suppression. Rong Zheng and his whole family were also waiting at the door to welcome Junli and Rongshui who had won a great victory.

Seeing people overjoyed, he pulled and said: "It's all right now, our Rong family doesn't have to worry about being retaliated by the gangsters all day long, and it's time to move back to our own house."

Rong Zheng just said indifferently: "It's good that Shui'er comes back safely."

Rong Shui understood the concerns of his relatives, so he reassured him and said: "This time, the two elders are worried about it. Now there is no threat. I will thank Mr. Huang and say goodbye later!"

Looking back, Rong Ming, Rong Wanrong and younger sisters were all present, so it can be said that it was a family reunion.

It's just that Rong Xiaomei is not very interested in this safe family reunion scene, obviously she has something on her mind.

The officers and soldiers returning to the city also informed the people along the way of the news of the extermination of the bandits outside the city, and it spread all over the city immediately, and there were many discussions.

Some wealthy people in the inn and teahouse commented: "The county magistrate Huang has always done a good thing after he has been in office for so long. The bandits who have experienced a lot of experience in Huchang Mountain will be eliminated in one pot. Congratulations!"

The people in the southern district, who live in relatively poor conditions, said: "This Huchangzhai has been helping the poor over the years. How come Huang Zhi is given the name of a villain? He even went to wipe out the cottage? Hey... It really doesn’t matter right from wrong, and it’s a pity to waste money and manpower to wipe out a generation of good people!”

Huang Zhi didn't hear the voices of mixed opinions from the people, but he was just in good spirits!Putting aside a worry, all the kidnappers who were escorted down were imprisoned in large prisons.

A few tables of ordinary family banquets were set up in the county government office for those who made great contributions to suppressing bandits this time.

During the period, the lights were feasting and the voices were full of people. It was a scene where the officials and the people celebrated together and everyone was happy.

Of course Jun Li was sitting at the top table, and the continuous drinking made him frown and was extremely troubled, while Rong Shui tactfully left the table early and hid.

I thought in my heart that the brat is really too young, this kind of occasion is obviously just drinking to the point of throwing up, and still sitting there in a daze!Fortunately, the wit ran early!

Huang Zhi toasted with a glass, and praised with a smile: "Nephew! Thanks to your bravery this time! The formation of troops is like a general! It's amazing!"

However, after hearing these compliments, Jun Li felt even more ashamed of it.

In today's attack, I took it too lightly, and directly attacked the surprise attack behind me without realizing it, resulting in the loss of the front stronghold. It is definitely not a complete victory!

Such a mistake must have been extremely disappointing in the eyes of Mr. Ju, not to mention that in the end, Huang Zhi had to rely on more troops in his hands to win, and the victory was not won by force.

Not wanting to listen anymore, Xunshi Rongshui found that the girl had long since disappeared, and shook his head helplessly.
