"Master Sun, if Li County Lieutenant doesn't know him, then you, the county magistrate, shouldn't know him either, right?"
Niu Xiaosheng looked at Sun Yong and said.
Sun Yong's face changed a few times, and he said with a smile: "Haha, the flood is really rushing to the Dragon King Temple, and they are almost retreating. This is the chief bannerman of Jiantiansi! We are all our own people!"
Hearing Jian Tiansi's name, Li Chong and the surrounding policemen's expressions suddenly changed, and each of them showed a look of fear. After all, this yamen is not just about slaying demons, but also has an astonishing amount of power in its hands.
"Snapped!"
Li Chong knelt directly on the ground and said, "This official is too blind to recognize Mount Tai. Please forgive me, Lord General!"
After saying that, he hit his forehead hard on the ground, making a small crater.
Niu Xiaosheng didn't care about him, but looked at Sun Yong, "I wonder what the magistrate is doing here?"
"Your Majesty, the General Banner, took over the hunting rights of the Western Territory and the Northern Territory of Tiger Roaring Forest in one fell swoop. I originally wanted to come over and make friends, but I didn't expect such a misunderstanding. Please forgive me."
Sun Yong said with a smile.
Naturally, Niu Xiaosheng would not believe such nonsense. He guessed that Sun Yong came here to convict Xiaoman and then wanted to extort a sum of money from himself. After all, this would fit his character as a corrupt official. If
Since I don't have the identity protection of Supervisor Tiansi, it is really possible for him to succeed today.
After all, this world belongs to the court of Chu State. Although Li Chong is an ordinary person, he can make warriors bow their heads and obey orders by relying on this layer of skin, such as Li Chong, a warrior in the third realm.
Niu Xiaosheng didn't want to get into trouble with Li Chongduo, so he said, "Since everyone has seen it now, and the inside has not been cleaned up, I won't invite you in. Please go slowly without seeing me off."
"Then, I will take my leave and will visit you another day."
Sun Yong walked very neatly and quickly left with a large group of people, leaving only Li Chong still kneeling there and kowtowing.
"Okay, you can get out too."
Niu Xiaosheng waved his sleeves at Li Chong. After all, the other party was also an eighth-grade official. Without evidence, he really couldn't do anything to him.
"Yes, yes, thank you, sir, thank you, sir!"
Li Chong seemed to be amnesty, rolled and crawled, and quickly left outside.
On the afternoon of the day Sun Yong left, Hong Wu, the ancestor of the Hong family, came to apologize with Hong Jun, whose limbs had been broken, as well as carts and carts of gold and silver property and slaves.
"It's all this evildoer who has caused you to suffer losses. We, the Hong family, didn't know anything about it beforehand. But don't worry, sir, you will receive absolute compensation. In addition to these gold and silver jewels, a group of Zhou Kingdom prisoners of war will be sent over in a few days.
Thank you, sir!"
Hongwu kept his posture very low, not showing off as a warrior of the Five Realms. Moreover, in order to obtain Niu Xiaosheng's forgiveness, he also lost a lot of money this time. Whether it was the boxes of gold and silver treasures in front of him or the prisoners of war of Zhou Dynasty, the cost was not low.
It is said that you should not hit someone with a smiling face, not to mention that the Hong family is so sincere? Niu Xiaosheng really couldn't find a reason for his refusal, "Mr. Hong said seriously, I came to Huxiaolin just to seek wealth, not to make enemies. The so-called enemy should be resolved but not ended."
, this matter is over.”
If he wants to digest the current territory, it will be impossible without a year or two of effort, so there is no need to enmity with the Hong family.
"Thank you, Mr. General Banner. In the future, if you have any orders in Lu County, we, the Hong family, will do our best to help you!"
Hong Wu promised.
"Easy to say, easy to say."
The two chatted happily, and then drank and talked happily.
Not long after, the head of the Du family also came to visit with generous gifts.
The third day.
Zhou Min led the hunting team to evacuate Lu County and return to Youzhou City. Although they had spent several days recovering, they had not fully recovered.
"Third Miss, you haven't recovered yet, why are you in such a hurry to go back? If the root cause of the disease is revealed, you will be in trouble."
On the way, a middle-aged woman persuaded me.
"Mother Li, I've been feeling restless these past few days. Dad hasn't sent a reply yet. It's better to leave as soon as possible."
When she returned home that day, Zhou Min immediately sent a message to Youzhou City through the inn, but so far, she had not received a reply, which made her feel something was wrong.
The group of people left Lu County without stopping, and it was not until they walked out of Lu County that Zhou Min ordered them to rest for a while.
"Miss Third, it's bad, someone is missing!"
At this time, someone noticed that there were fewer people.
"Who is missing? How come we only found out now!"
Zhou Min looked aside, stood up and asked.
"Eight people are missing. Everyone was busy on their way just now, so they didn't notice when they disappeared. It couldn't be that they are more missing. I'll send someone back to take a look."
"No need, everyone mount up and continue on your way!"
Zhou Min had a bad feeling in her heart.
Soon, night fell, and when Zhou Min stopped to rest again, eight more people were quietly missing from the team, and everyone's expressions became very ugly.
At this time, she was already sure that someone was dealing with them secretly. Being able to take away so many people from the team without anyone noticing, the opponent was definitely not weak.
"Miss Third, what should we do?"
An old man with the strongest strength in the team walked up to Zhou Min and asked. He is an old man from the Zhou Mansion, and his strength has reached the fourth realm.
"Uncle Zhou, arrange for more people to keep vigil tonight."
Zhou Min didn't have any idea for a while.
"I will personally keep vigil tonight. Miss Third, please go and rest for a while. Otherwise, you will collapse from exhaustion before the enemy shows up."
The old man said.
"Okay, okay, I'll take a nap."
Zhou Min was indeed exhausted at this time and planned to sleep for half an hour.
But after she fell asleep, she never woke up again. Not only her, but also the entire Zhou family were buried in the woods that night.
Wubao.
Hong Wu came here again carrying a brocade box.
"Lord General Banner, fortunately you have fulfilled your duty. Zhou Min and his party have all been intercepted and killed by me. This is Zhou Min's head."
The brocade box was opened, revealing a head smelling of blood inside.
Niu Xiaosheng closed the brocade box and handed it to a man on the side, "You're done, Senior Hong. Let's go. The hunting team just happened to hunt a good prey. Let's go have a drink."
"Being respectful is worse than obeying orders."
Hong Wu's eyes flashed and he smiled.
In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed. With the participation of a large number of slaves and prisoners of war, the affairs of the Western Territory and the Northern Territory have been put on track, and the problem of manpower shortage has been solved. Although the strength of the prisoners of war is far less than that of the Dragon Tiger Cavalry
, but it can also be used with military formation.
Lu County Yamen.
County Magistrate Sun Yong was standing behind a middle-aged man with a respectful face, "I have met Mr. Lin."
"Well, Your Highness asked me to give you a message. You did a good job this time. After three years, your position will be promoted."
