Chapter 342: make friends with
Chapter 342 Making Friends
In this battle with the robbers, not only the robbers were terrified, but the guards and servants were even more in awe of their master.
It is said that the third master is both civil and military, and he doesn't feel that much in training, but he really felt it today. A long spear, like a swimming dragon, was like a frightened bird, and it drove away the big boss. How arrogant was the big boss before!
If you say you admire Wen Jiuxiao, then you are in awe of Yu Zhi. The young lady is too strong, the whip is deadly! Especially the guards of the Pingbeihou Mansion, they felt the most vividly. None of them were seriously injured, only a few half were slightly injured, because they have young wives!
Young Madam swung her whip so impenetrably, a whip protected all of them!
Fearlessness makes people awe, bravery makes people follow, and the direction of the blade stimulates people's blood. With such a powerful master, they all willingly surrendered.
There is also the little maid next to the young lady, usually silent, like a shadow. Who would have thought that he was also a killer! Someone counted secretly, and there were thirty or forty robbers who died under her knife.
Now as soon as He Xiaodie shows up, many people rush to show her courtesy and call her sister Xiaodie. In the past, she was called Sister Xiaodie because she was the servant girl next to the Young Madam. Now it's all from the bottom of my heart, she has strength, she's really a sister!
Fan Huailiang, the magistrate of Chenzhou, was in his early forties. He has skills, but he's just too aggressive. He's an official fan, and he even dreams of getting promoted. His mind is all on drilling, so naturally he doesn't pay much attention to official duties. As long as there is no riot under his command, he won't bother to take care of it.
Fan Huailiang naturally knew about the gang of bandits in Menghuzhai, but he just turned a blind eye and turned a blind eye, so that the well water on both sides did not interfere with the river water.
Now, when he went back and forth, saying that Tiger Village was cleaned up, Fan Huailiang was quite surprised, "Who? Who did it?"
The group of people in Tiger Village are like wolves, and they are not easy to provoke, especially the head of the family. I heard that ten strong men can't get close to them. The weapons in the stockade are better than those of the officers and soldiers, and it is almost as good to take care of others. How could they be taken care of by others? Is the message wrong?
"Reporting to my lord, there is no mistake, it is absolutely true. My lord, you forgot, the new magistrate of Shanyun County is about to take office..."
Fan Huailiang suddenly realized why he sent so many people recently? It is also for the new county magistrate of Shanyun County. As the magistrate of Chenzhou, he has already received the official documents. Don't look at the remoteness here, far away from the capital, but Mr. Xiaowen is famous! Who doesn't know that this young official became the Shaoqing of Dali Temple? He was the only one in the entire Daqing Dynasty.
Although Fan Huailiang didn't know why Wen Jiuxiao came to Shanyun County to serve as the county magistrate, but he was not only the son of the Houfu, but also a Houye himself. Even if he is someone's top striker, he doesn't dare to put on airs!
Besides, Fan Huailiang still had his own little plans in mind, so he thought, if he made friends with this person, he could take a walk in Beijing with the help of the other person's connections!
Now that he knows that Tiger Village has suffered from him, Fan Huailiang is not surprised at all. Ha, he is the son of the Marquis of Wu'an, and I am serving as a third-rank general in Habayashi Guard. If my son takes a foreign post in such a place, the family must have given a lot of manpower.
That fierce tiger village is a little bit fierce, but if it bumps into the serious general of the Hou family, can you please it?
Hearing that a group of murderous people were coming here, Fan Huailiang was very excited. After all, he is the son of Houfu, how confident he is! The sons of wealthy families are different, unlike him, even a magistrate of a state would not dare to suppress a nest of bandits.
If it wasn't for his reason, Fan Huailiang would have run out to meet him. It's not easy for this poor countryman to come here with a high status, so why shouldn't he make good friends?
Wen Jiuxiao didn't know what Fan Huailiang was thinking. But he had also inquired about Fan Huailiang. He has served as the magistrate of Chenzhou for eight years, and he has been rated as medium every year. It's not entirely his fault, the population of Chenzhou is too small, too barren, and it's normal that taxes are low. This person is not a womanizer, and he also happens to have a reputation. He extorts money violently, and treats the people well. It's not lawful to go around for a living, so I stayed in Chenzhou for eight years, and there is a tendency to continue to stay.
Other than that, there's nothing wrong with this guy.
Fan Huailiang is Wen Jiuxiao's striker, so he will naturally visit. He has prepared the Four Treasures of the Study and Hemostatic Powder as gifts.
Fan Huailiang warmly entertained Wen Jiuxiao, he was very polite, without any airs, and there was no lack of flattery in his words. Wen Jiuxiao thought about his character, and it was not difficult to understand his demeanor.
Knowing that Wen Jiuxiao brought his family to take up the post, Fan Huailiang asked his wife to entertain him, but Wen Jiuxiao declined on the pretext that he was tired from the journey and had already settled down.
That night, if Wen Jiuxiao hadn't insisted on going back to the inn, Fan Huailiang would have been able to pull him to talk at night while holding candles. This enthusiasm was too much for people to bear.
Early in the morning of the second day, people sent by Fan Huailiang arrived and invited their family to the mansion as guests. Wen Jiuxiao happened to have something to discuss with him, so naturally he happily went to the appointment with his wife and children.
What are you discussing? Naturally, it was the bandits.
The robbers escaped with more than a hundred people, and there are still two or three hundred people in the village. If you don’t take advantage of his illness to kill him, why don’t we wait for them to grow stronger?
Of course, Wen Jiuxiao did not rashly say that he wanted to suppress the bandits, but proposed to borrow someone from him.
Fan Huailiang, what can I say? Is this a loan? This is to give credit to him. Or if it's the son of the Hou's mansion, look at how openly he handles this matter! Pay attention to the atmosphere!
Fan Huailiang didn't say a word, and asked the garrison to transfer 300 officers and soldiers, and also specially explained that they should follow other people's orders.
Wen Jiuxiao and Yu Zhi didn't go, and the situation in Menghuzhai was clear. The battle plan was discussed last night, and Zhuo Zhengyang and the chief of guards can just command.
Oh, He Xiaodie followed. She mainly dealt with the boss. They all used knives. It just depends on who is better!
One day and one night, the people came back, with a bunch of bandits tied up, pushing carts of loot captured, and everyone was beaming.
Tiger Village is really rich, with food, weapons, gold and silver treasures... Hey, let's put it this way, Chenzhou's taxes for three years can't match it.
Wen Jiuxiao asked for food and half of the weapons, "Master Fan, Shanyun County is too poor, and this time I will take advantage of you." As for gold and silver, he didn't want any.
"It should be, it should be." Fan Huailiang was in a good mood. People who he knew in his heart, people who hadn't heard of Jiuxiao, couldn't suppress the bandits at all, not to mention such a big contribution in vain, and they got so much. They just asked for some food, and he felt that Wen Jiuxiao was running out of food, so he wanted to fill in some more. But Wen Jiuxiao refused.
He said everything on defense, Wen Jiuxiao's people are amazing, not to mention that one can be against ten, one can at least be against two. There is also a little girl among them, carrying a big knife, chopping people like chopping vegetables.
Hey, it would be great if such a talent came to the south sooner!
Make friends, you must make good friends!
