Chapter 255 The Hero of Destroying Bandits
After the door closed again, Shang Wan looked at Zhou Gui who was standing silently, "As for you, practice your courage and give up your position to others first. Fine or something else, listen. Tan Zhang arranged it. "
It is not impossible to hide when you are in danger, but it is very dangerous to hide and not report the news home.
Zhou Gui was ready to be sold to Yahang. Shang Wan was so tolerant, which made him feel relieved.
He thought for a while and recommended: "My boss might as well consider Liu Laosi. This man is very courageous and has good martial arts skills. He can serve as a guard commander."
Shang Wan remembered everyone in the caravan. In the melee just now, Guard Liu was able to win against three.
"Call him in."
"Yes." Zhou Gui followed the order and went out, the big stone that had been hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground.
By the time Shang Wan finished handling the caravan's affairs, it was already dawn outside.
Xiaohuan went to the kitchen and cooked a large pot of porridge and steamed several steamed buns. The side dishes were freshly pickled, salty and crispy, and went well with the porridge.
Lu Chengjing brought breakfast on a tray, put the porridge and steamed buns on the table, and said to Shang Wan: "We have been busy all night, let's have something to eat."
"Yes." Shang Wan kept his eyes on the account book, mouth He agreed but didn't move.
Since there was no one else in the room, Lu Chengjing simply picked up the bowl, took a bite of side dishes and a bite of porridge, and fed his wife.
Shang Wan finished reading the last point, closed the account book, picked up his chopsticks and picked up a bun to eat.
She could taste it now and asked: "Did Xiaohuan make it?"
"Yeah." Lu Chengjing fed the last spoonful of porridge in the bowl to Shang Wan before picking up his own bowl to eat.
“Is it the official you went to the county government to report to?”
Lu Chengjing nodded with porridge in his mouth.
Shang Wan said: "When we come down from the mountain later, will you go back with your classmates or with us?"
Of course Lu Chengjing wanted to go back with his family, but, "I made an appointment with them to visit Mr. Chi Ran, so I can't miss the appointment."
Mr. Chi Ran was a great scholar of the time, and he was a good calligrapher. Shang Wan once heard Lu Chengjing talk about it.
She took a bite of the bun and swallowed it before asking: "Are the gifts ready?"
"Yes, they are ready on the way."
Shang Wan After thinking for a while, he said: "I just saw in the account book that the caravan collected two Duan Inkstones. You can go and take a look at it later. If you think it is good, you can add it to the gift."
Those who studied with Lu Chengjing I have met my classmates Shang Wan, and they are of good character, but except for Qiao Yuan, none of them have any wealth.
The gifts that the group of people prepared on the road might not be very meaningful.
Lu Chengkang nodded, thinking that Shang Wan was thinking about him like this, his heart was filled with tears, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help but curl up with a smile.
When he smiled, Shang Wan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought of settling accounts after the fall.
She stretched out her hand to pinch Lu Chengjing's earlobe and twisted it with her two fingers. "Young Master Xiucai is very capable. How dare you break into a bandit's village at night by yourself?"
All the promises you made before leaving were ignored. Have you eaten?
Lu Chengjing choked on his porridge and immediately explained: "I didn't plan to break in, I just came to take a look."
"What are you looking at?"
"I think the bandit camp is on Chencang Mountain, so I thought Look for it at night, and if you can find it, go back and tell the government."
Shang Wan narrowed his eyes: "Aren't you afraid of being eaten by wolves?"
"I have sense and I have it with me. The medicine was prepared by the miracle doctor Duanmu." Lu Chengjing's ears hurt terribly but he didn't dare to hide. He said warmly, "You are all waiting for me at home. How could I put myself in danger?"
Shang Wan snorted softly, let go of his hand, and rubbed his red ears.
She got down to business: "We can all guess that the bandit stronghold is on Chencang Mountain. How can the government officials not guess it?"
"What if we can guess it, but so what if we can't guess it?" "Lu Chengjing picked up a bun and said, "It's just to protect yourself."
There are only a few officials like Mr. An who work for the benefit of the people, and there are many people in the court who are doing nothing.
Don’t seek merit, but seek no fault.
Thinking more gloomily, there is still a connection between the bandit village and the county government in Baoji County.
"Then we can still send these bandits to receive rewards?" Shang Wan had just finished asking and realized that he had asked a stupid question. No matter what the county government and the bandit village are doing privately, it is a great achievement for them to catch all the bandits in one fell swoop.
Maybe the county government will praise them with gongs and drums.
Shang Wan touched his chin and said to Lu Chengjing: "I will ask Tan Zhang to go to the county office later and tell him that these bandits were captured by the caravan."
When a caravan is traveling, there is no guarantee that it will run into such troubles, and she cannot arrive just in time every time.
It is necessary to show off the power of the caravan. It is best to make other gangsters afraid to stretch their claws when they hear the name of the caravan.
Lu Chengjing also thought of this level, so naturally he didn’t disagree.
After everyone had breakfast, Shitou hugged Yuanyuan and walked around the bandit camp with a few guards. After making sure that the wild beasts had receded, he called everyone down the mountain.
In addition to the caravans, most of the captives were people living around Baoji County.
"Who are these five?" Shang Wan pointed at the young men huddled behind the crowd, all dressed the same.
“They are all Tiger Mother’s husbands.” Xiaohuan took a look and said, “They were also kidnapped up to the mountain and forced to marry Tiger Mother. They couldn’t even leave the village gate on weekdays. .”
The music that Shang Wan heard was played by these five young people.
Tiger Girl was getting married and wanted them to accompany her at the wedding hall. The five of them were worried about making mistakes and getting whipped, so they rehearsed conscientiously.
The five young men have different looks, but they all look good-looking.
Shang Wan secretly clicked his tongue, Tiger Girl was living a very happy life.
Xiao Huan leaned closer to Shang Wan and asked in a low voice: "Sister, is it a hidden danger to keep them here?"
What if one of these five people falls in love with Tigress?
What should I do if I seek revenge from them in the future?
“Let them come.” Shang Wanhun didn’t care. She wouldn’t be afraid of a hundred more like this.
Xiaohuan felt relieved after hearing her sister's words, and her eyes when looking at the five young men were not as cold as before.
Nearly two hundred people marched down the mountain and entered the city, attracting countless attention.
“Who are these people?”
“Didn’t you see what’s written on that sign, damn bandits.”
“Hey, this bandit leader is still What about a woman? Why are her front teeth gone?”
"God is wise, I have caught these damned ones, and my son can go home."
......
Amidst the discussion of the people, Tan Zhang led The people in the caravan, suppressing the bandits, entered the county government office with their heads held high.
Half an hour later, the entire caravan became heroes in eradicating bandits, and received a reward of 130 taels of silver from the government, and even posted a notice to commend them.
Seeing a group of officers and soldiers hurriedly leaving the city, Shitou asked doubtfully: "Brother-in-law, the bandits have been captured. What are they doing out of the city now?"
"The bandits were caught, but they didn't have the money they stole." Lu Chengjing's tone was a little cold.
Shitou scratched his head and turned to look at his sister.
Didn’t his sister put all those things away?
His sister also said it was not a bad trip.
“A bunch of jackals that smell something fishy.” Qiao Yuan sneered sarcastically.
When in danger, he hides behind others, and when there is a benefit, he swoops up like flies. With such profit-seeking officers and soldiers, it's no wonder that bandits are so popular here.
He shook his head and turned to leave.
Lu Chengjing also withdrew his gaze: "Let's go back to the inn first."
"Okay."
