Chapter 162 Great Fox
Sun Lizheng came quickly with several villagers.
After checking the corpse and the injured gangster, Sun Lizheng's old face turned into a chrysanthemum smile.
"Oh, Sanlang, this is a great achievement, hahaha." He patted Jiang Sanlang on the shoulder and said, "I have already sent people to the county seat to deliver the news. It is estimated that someone will come over to take over these bandits in the afternoon. "
Jiang Sanlang nodded: "To be able to capture so many gangsters this time, in addition to the villagers in our village who fought hard to meet the enemy, many villagers in the West Village also participated, and dozens of craftsmen from neighboring villages also helped. When Uncle Li Zheng wrote the note, Be sure to write down their names, I have already drawn up the list, and asked Uncle Li Zheng to attach it and bring it to the Ming Mansion."
"It's easy to talk about." They are all villagers of Chuanhe Town. Their meritorious service is the same as his own meritorious service. There is no way that Sun Lizheng should be unworthy.
In the afternoon, a group of more than two hundred cavalry came, led by a young general.
They were led by Sun Lizheng to the south slope.
Ying Bao, Dani Erni and Sister Wen were detained in the house by her grandma and were not allowed to go out, so she lay on the window and peeked out.
But there were too many people outside, and it was a chaotic mess.
There were the patriarchs, Sun Lizheng, father Jiang Sanlang, several clan elders, the village chief Chen Changsheng of Nishimura, and Uncle Chen Yin, who surrounded the two generals and several soldiers.
A group of people went to the hut to present the bandit leader, and then left the yard.
Yingbao wanted to see who the general was, so she slipped out of the house without her grandma paying attention and climbed up the stairs to the wall.
Standing on the wall and looking down, you can only see the tops of the heads of the soldiers and generals.
The soldiers tied up the thieves one by one and strung them into long gourd strings. The thieves were then sent to a prison van.
The leading general said something to Sun Lizheng, and Sun Lizheng nodded his head.
Suddenly, the young general raised his head and looked towards the wall, his eyes meeting Ying Bao's.
Ying Bao blinked and finally saw what this man looked like.
He is eighteen or nineteen years old, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes. If he had three strands of beard, he would look exactly like the governor more than ten years later.
I didn't expect this man to look like this when he was young. Gee, he looks better without a beard.
"Bao'er, come down quickly!" Chun Niang called her from the courtyard.
Ying Bao responded and slowly swallowed the wall.
Go back to the house and continue reading with Sister Wen.
The bandit leader was taken away, and the people of Dongchen Village did not feel relaxed.
On the contrary, they have become more vigilant.
Because the bandits don't just have one bandit leader, they must have accomplices.
The clan leader and several elders of the clan decided to build a house on the south slope as well.
At least there is an iron-barrel-like Jiang's house here. If the thieves come, everyone can run to his house to take shelter.
As a result, the south slope became even more lively. All the people in Dongchen Village chose homesteads on the south slope and started hiring people to build houses in full swing.
Even several households from Xichen Village came to Nanpo and asked to build houses here, but Jiang Sanlang refused.
Just because this area is all the land of Dongchen Village, people from Xichen Village will inevitably occupy the land of Dongchen Village when they build houses here.
Even if they occupy wasteland, it won't be a problem if the two villages are mixed together and it will be inconvenient to manage.
Moreover, if the two villages were to merge, Chen Changsheng, the village leader of Xicun, would not agree. If the villagers under his jurisdiction went to the next village to build houses, what use would he have as a village leader?
Ten days later, Jiang Dalang came back from buying grain from Pingjiang County and told his father and third brother what he had seen on the road.
"The inns along this road have added a lot of manpower. They patrol the official roads from time to time. If they see ragged people, they will be taken away for questioning. If they encounter a group of refugees without road guides, they will be killed directly."
Old Man Jiang was dumbfounded: "What if he is really a refugee?"
"Then you can only admit that you are unlucky. They can't find a way out. Even if they come from the wrong way, there is no excuse for being killed. The bandits have been very violent recently, and everyone in the county is panicked. I met someone along the way. Two waves of refugees were killed on the spot.”
Jiang Dalang sighed: "Looking at the accent, the refugees seem to be from Zhouhe County. Alas, they are also unlucky. They happened to catch up with the imperial court to suppress bandits."
Old Man Jiang shook his head, "If you really can't survive, who would want to leave your hometown and run away from home?"
But then again, when refugees gather together to cause chaos, they are a bandit. Although their previous situation was pitiful, it is indeed hateful to go around doing evil.
When they got together, they not only burned, killed, and looted, but also camped on people's wives and daughters.
The craftsmen who built the houses said that several people died in their village, all killed by bandits.
The bandits also captured many women, tortured them and killed them, making them worse than animals.
From this point of view, those refugees are not innocent.
A month passed in a flash.
Yingbao has successively released all the belongings in the house, and each time she quietly leads her second cousin to discover them, and then lends his hand to carry them home.
Everyone in the Jiang family, except Jiang Sanlang, felt it was very magical.
"Do you think it's strange? I've searched countless times in the bamboo forest and found nothing, but I was able to find a lot of things once I went to Erquan, and they all belong to the Saburo family."
Old Man Jiang had said these words countless times, and Old Mrs. Jiang's ears pricked when she heard it.
"You want to say that our Erquan is the Great Fox Immortal?" Mrs. Jiang Liu said angrily.
Old Man Jiang coughed lightly, "Why is the Great Fox not the Great Immortal Fox? I'm just curious. Erquan, tell me, what's going on? Why can you find things from your third uncle's house as soon as you go to the bamboo forest?"
Jiang Quan: "How do I know?" He was also puzzled.
But the feeling of discovering the treasure was so good that he was almost obsessed.
Tomorrow, no, today he wanted to go to the bamboo forest again to see if he could find something else, even a piece of furniture.
However, you must bring Yingbao with you when you go.
Jiang Quan has tried several times. As long as he takes the Yingbao with him, he can find the big treasure.
Once you go alone or with others, you will definitely come back without success.
Could it be that Ying Bao is actually his lucky star?
"Yingbao, can you please take me to the bamboo forest to dig winter bamboo shoots?" Jiang Quan looked at his little cousin with a flattering look on his face.
Yingbao: "No, I have to do my homework with Sister Wen."
Now Mrs. Wen and her daughter live in Jiang Sanlang's house and start teaching daily.
Therefore, Yingbao has classes in the morning and writes and studies in the afternoon, so she rarely has time to go to the bamboo forest.
Jiang Sanlang also asked people to build a school on the south slope to facilitate the children in the village to study, but the school has not yet been completed.
Jiang Quan was a little disappointed when his cousin refused, so he had to carry a chisel and go to the bamboo forest to dig bamboo shoots.
In fact, it is a bit difficult to dig bamboo shoots at this time, but it is not impossible.
As long as you find the right place, the winter bamboo shoots dug out will be more fresh and tender than the spring bamboo shoots.
Jiang Quan came to the edge of the bamboo forest, looked around, found a place with thick leaves and started digging.
As I was digging, I suddenly heard footsteps coming from behind, getting closer and closer.
Jiang Quan suddenly turned around and saw two ragged men standing not far behind him.
"What are you doing?" He walked up behind him so quietly. Did he want to make a sneak attack or something like that?
