With the gradual evacuation of refugees in the past few days, the city of Qingzhou has gradually ended its original state of disorder. The Qingzhou Prefecture's Yamen has gradually resumed control of Qingzhou City. Today our Wei Prefecture finally returned to the Yamen's office.
Already.
The first thing Wei Tongnian saw when he just returned to the prefecture's Yamen from Jinguang Temple was the garbage in the Yamen area, several piles of unburned fires, and piles of burned ashes. Dozens of Yamen servants were chatting with some
The handymen were cleaning up the garbage together. When Wei Tongnian saw this scene, he frowned quietly. From here, he could deduce how chaotic and disorderly this place was, and what the porridge scene was at that time.
of crowding.
When Wei Tongnian got off the sedan and stepped into the inner courtyard, his concubine Rou Niang and his daughter Wei Man Ting came up to him and saluted him, saying: "I respectfully welcome my father back home."
"There's no need to be polite. I've been at Jinguang Temple these past few days, so you guys are frightened here." Wei Tongnian stepped forward to help them up.
Rou Niang said softly: "Master, don't worry, everything is fine in the mansion these days. Besides, Pang Qianhu has also hired a sergeant to guard outside the mansion day and night, and strictly prohibits refugees and unrelated people from approaching the mansion. So Wanting and I are living well."
very good."
"Oh? Then Pang Gang also sent people to guard the government office?" Wei Tongnian frowned and asked with some confusion: "Didn't I send Yang Captou to lead people to patrol the area before leaving? Why?
Then why would Pang Gang send people to patrol and guard the area in a superfluous manner?"
"Yang Captou..." A trace of displeasure appeared on Rou Niang's face when she mentioned Yang Captou, but she was weak by nature and didn't want to speak ill of her husband's subordinates in front of her husband.
In the end, she just hummed to express her dissatisfaction.
Seeing Rou Niang's expression, Wei Tongnian became increasingly dissatisfied, and his face sank slightly: "Man Ting, tell me, what is going on?"
Wei Man Ting did not dare to hide it and quickly came out. It turned out that during the few days when Pang Gang was cooking porridge at the magistrate's Yamen, due to the large influx of refugees near the Magistrate's Yamen, the public security became very chaotic for a time. There were dozens of daring people the day before yesterday.
The refugees actually climbed over the high wall in the backyard of the prefect's Yamen. They happened to be seen by several servants in the backyard of the prefect's Yamen. They quickly notified Captain Yang who was on duty outside the Yamen.
However, when Capt. Yang arrived with several government officials and prepared to capture dozens of refugees, they encountered resistance from these refugees. Outnumbered, Capt. Yang and several government officials even ran away.
In the same year of Wei Dynasty, dozens of members of his family were given to the refugees. Just when the situation was critical, Pang Gang happened to pass by with a group of soldiers. After seeing this, he arrested the daring refugees and sent them to the prefect.
Only in this way did a catastrophic disaster be avoided in the prison of the Yamen.
Hearing this, Wei Tongnian couldn't help but shed a layer of cold sweat on his forehead. He didn't expect that something like this would happen during his absence in the past few days. If dozens of lawless thugs were allowed to rush into his house, the consequences would be really unimaginable.
.
At this time, Wei Manyu said: "Father, this time Aunt Rou and I were lucky enough to have Pang Qianhu's help to avoid being invaded by thugs. He was very kind to us."
Wei Tongnian pondered for a while before asking: "Is Pang Gang still in Qingzhou City now?"
Wei Man Ting said: "This daughter doesn't know this either, but she believes that she should repay a favor with a spring. This time Pang Qianhu saved the Wei Mansion from disaster, so you have to thank her properly."
Wei Tongnian sighed: "Why doesn't this old man know this? It's just that this Pang Gang has offended all the wealthy gentry in Qingzhou City. Whether he can escape this disaster is not yet known. I'm afraid that I am also powerless.
.”
"What? What's going on here?" As soon as Wei Tongnian's words came out, Rou Niang and Wei Man Ting were startled at the same time, and they quickly asked in unison.
In the same year, Wei revealed that he and Song Xinghe sent Pang Gang to raise grain in Qingzhou, but Pang Gang killed the head of the Zheng family in one fell swoop and coerced the wealthy gentry in Qingzhou city to donate grain. Finally, he sighed:
"I'm afraid the gentry's petition to impeach Pang Gang has arrived at Jinan Mansion."
"What, this is happening!" Rou Niang and Wei Man Ting, who had been staying in the courtyard of the deep house, heard for the first time about the "great achievements" that Pang Gang had done in the past few days. They couldn't help but gasped, and their pretty faces changed.
All changed color.
After a long time, Wei Manting complained dissatisfiedly and said: "Earlier, my father and Commander Song pushed Pang Qianhu out to prevent the disaster. Now that something happened, you and Commander Song stayed out of it. This is definitely not what a gentleman would do."
Wei Tongnian couldn't help but blush when he heard his daughter blaming him. However, he and Song Xinghe did not act kindly in this matter, and they were indeed trying to burn bridges.
He said brightly: "It's not that I don't care, but it's beyond the capabilities of me and Commander Song at this time. The joint complaint filed by dozens of gentry in Qingzhou City is no small matter. Originally Commander Song also admired him very much.
, but now Commander Song does not dare to wade into this muddy water, whether he can escape this disaster can only depend on Pang Gang's luck."
Wei Man Ting also fell silent after hearing her father's words. Having grown up in an official family, she naturally knew that this was not a trivial matter. Not to mention Pang Gang, a small fifth-rank household with thousands of households, even the governor of Shandong had to do something like this.
They were in a hurry. From an intellectual point of view, it was the best choice for Wei Tongnian and Song Xinghe to avoid the matter, but from a moral point of view, it was extremely immoral. At this time, Wei Wanting was also caught in the dilemma between reason and morality.
In the entanglement.
Just when Wei Tongnian and Wei Manyuan's family were staring at each other, Gao Yigong and Li Guo had escaped from Qingzhou City with more than a dozen celebrity bandits and fled into the wilderness on the outskirts of Qingzhou. In the process of escaping, they were
After discovering their whereabouts, they were running around in Qingzhou City, and the sergeants of Lingshan Guard were also chasing them everywhere. Their number was getting smaller and smaller, and finally they managed to escape from Qingzhou City with great efforts, but
After counting the number of people, only a dozen people were left. Sun's tragic loss made Gao Yigong, a fierce general in the army, burst into tears.
"Master Gao, you can save the green mountains without worrying about having firewood. Let's take note of this revenge first. It won't be too late to avenge this revenge when we lead the army to capture Qingzhou in the future!" Li Guo on the side saw this man Gao Yigong.
I couldn't help but feel sad that I was crying so sadly, and quickly comforted myself, "At least we know that we fell into the hands of Lingshan Guards this time. When we return to King Chuang's command, we won't ask King Chuang to avenge us.
Late."
Gao Yigong gritted his teeth and nodded, turned back and took a deep look at Qingzhou City. From today on, he remembered that there was a Lingshan Guard in Qingzhou and the name of Pang Gang, a thousand households in Lingshan Guard.
