Huang Shao and his men hurried back to Qimu Town. As soon as they arrived at the east city gate, they were immediately surrounded by gatekeepers.
Because he is wanted, of course he must be arrested when he appears.
"Bold!!" Magistrate Huang's confidant reprimanded loudly, and at the same time took out a seal, "Don't be rude, this is Magistrate Zhuoshui's new adopted son! Why don't you get out of here quickly?"
The guard guard was startled. He stepped forward to check the seal and found that it was genuine.
Why did Huang Shao, a poor man in the town, suddenly become the adopted son of Magistrate Huang after being counted?
The Zhuoshui County Magistrate was a very important official to them, and even Colonel Qin had to obey.
So what to do now?
Huang Shao is a wanted criminal and has a lot to do with the silver ingot theft that just happened.
Logically speaking, he must be captured and brought to justice.
But inexplicably, he became the adopted son of Zhuoshui County Magistrate, and his status skyrocketed, becoming extremely noble.
Are you tired of arresting the county magistrate's son?
Being in a dilemma, he had no choice but to ask Captain Qin for instructions.
Immediately send someone to report it and ask for instructions on how to handle it.
Not long after, Qin Yuan came over with people.
After checking the seal to make sure it was correct, he looked a little strange.
But the seal is correct, and Huang Shao is indeed the person most trusted by Zhuoshui County Magistrate. This cannot be false.
He could only step forward and clasp his fists in a bow: "The county magistrate has arrived, and Qin Yuan is far away to welcome him!"
Huang Shao was not in the mood to talk nonsense with him at the moment and asked anxiously: "Where is my brother Jun'er? Let him go quickly! We didn't steal money at all. You can't wrongly accuse a good person!"
"Uh~" Qin Yuan's face looked a little weird when he mentioned Diao Jun, "Well..."
"Captain Qin, the master said," the county magistrate's confidant took a step forward, "This case is a bit strange, and we must not accuse anyone unjustly. I will wait here and bring Diao Jun there specially to ask the master to try it in person. You cannot unjustly accuse a good person.
You can’t let a bad person go!”
"Hurry up and release my brother, we didn't steal any money!" Huang Shao said urgently.
"Well..." Qin Yuan replied hesitantly, "You guys are a little late. The person coming from Danyang just now is General Yu Chengyu, General Zhechong. General Yu was ordered to recruit troops, and he asked me to join Qimu Town.
They sent out 100 soldiers. They came and took all the male prisoners away without leaving a single one. Even the blind and lame were not spared. This number was not enough, or sixty or seventy more people would be sent to Danyang...
."
"Where's Jun'er?" Huang Shao's expression changed dramatically when he heard this.
"Uh~ Diao Jun is also among them..." Qin Yuan actually breathed a sigh of relief privately.
He did not expect that Huang Shao would become the adopted son of Zhuoshui County Magistrate, and that he would come back to ask for someone so soon.
The magistrate of Zhuoshui County can remove himself from the post of school captain with just one order.
If Huang Shao saw the miserable state of Diao Jun's buttocks, he would probably report it to the Zhuoshui County Magistrate.
He is now the son of the county magistrate, so it is normal for him to be dismissed from the post of school captain.
Fortunately, General Cheng took the person away one step ahead, so he could completely shirk his responsibility and not be implicated.
Want someone? Then go to Danyang to find Yu Cheng!
Even if the magistrate of Zhuoshui County went there in person, he would still have to kneel down and kowtow when he saw General Zhe Chong, let alone the adopted son he recognized?
They couldn't find Yu Cheng's important person, and naturally they didn't know that Diao Jun was beaten to death by his order. Speaking of which, it was General Yu who saved one of them!
"What?! Huang Shao's face changed drastically when he heard this, "Where is that person?"
"We left the west city gate a long time ago and have been gone for a long time!" Qin Yuan replied.
"Drive!!" Huang Shao galloped on his horse anxiously, moving quickly towards the west city gate.
The people sent by County Magistrate Huang took one look at Qin Yuan, and they all jumped on their horses to chase Huang Shao, and gradually disappeared from Qin Yuan's eyes.
"Huh~" After they left, Qin Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Chase! You can't catch them anyway!"
Then he thought about it, Huang Shao became the adopted son of the county magistrate. Although this was surprising, it didn't seem to have much to do with him.
The most important thing now is to seize the time and recruit the necessary soldiers as soon as possible, otherwise General Yu will be blamed, which he will not be able to bear.
As for that Diao Jun, he was taken away by General Yu himself, and he was afraid that he would never be able to come back, and he would soon be turned into cannon fodder and die on the battlefield.
It is estimated that Huang Shao and the others will have to return to the town in despair soon. Who dares to offend General Zhe Chong?
The case of the theft of silver ingots is a little troublesome. Diao Jun was taken away by General Yu and Huang Shao became the adopted son of Zhuoshui County Magistrate. Neither of them could be investigated.
It seems that it can only end in vain, leaving the person who lost the money to consider himself unlucky.
Return to the battlefield.
Although there was a sudden thunderstorm, bandits and giant bears blocked the road, fortunately, Jia Zhengjin was also prepared and asked Danyang's elite soldiers to stop the bandits and giant bears. He drove with Diao Jun and braved the heavy rain to attack the enemy in the midst of lightning and thunder.
Fleeed towards Danyang.
The bandits who were chasing after him on horseback were swept left and right with his gun, knocking them to the ground one by one, and there was no way he could stop them.
On the way, I met a prisoner who was fleeing for his life. I grabbed him and threw him into the car and took him away with him.
The lightning, thunder, and violent storm failed to stop him, nor could they delay him in place. He still fled quickly, and soon disappeared without a trace.
The outcome was also decided here. There was a melee between the bandits, the Danyang elite soldiers, and the giant bears. In the end, the Danyang elite soldiers won a tragic victory. The bandits were all wiped out, the giant bears were hacked to death with random knives, and only a dozen or so Danyang elite soldiers were left.
, ended a hard battle.
During the heavy rain, some of the escaped prisoners hid in the nearby mountains and forests. However, a few unlucky ones were caught by Danyang elite soldiers when they came out because they were looking for better hiding places or were frightened by the roar of wild beasts in the mountains.
They were escorted on the road in the rain and continued towards Danyang, chasing Jia Zhengjin who had left long ago.
Huang Shao and his men arrived belatedly. When they appeared on the battlefield, except for a few prisoners hiding in the grass, there were only corpses everywhere.
I quickly asked what was going on, and heard that the battle had ended more than half an hour ago, and Diao Jun had been taken away long ago. He would definitely not be able to catch up at this moment, so he still wanted to chase after him.
The confidants of Zhuoshui County Magistrate hurriedly stopped him and advised him not to act impulsively.
So what if we catch up? Do you still dare to snatch people from General Zhechong? Didn't you see the fate of these bandits and even the giant bear that jumped out of nowhere? This matter needs long-term consideration!
How could Huang Shao listen? He only wanted to go to Danyang to rescue Diao Jun.
Because once Danyang sends troops to attack Bashui, the war between the two countries will be devastated. How can Diao Jun, who was taken away as cannon fodder, come back alive?
The confidants and other subordinates tried hard to persuade Huang Shao, and it took a lot of effort to persuade Huang Shao. They told him that even if they chased him all the way to Danyang, even if they succeeded in stopping General Zhechong, they asked him if he would agree to the request.
He was such a big shot that even the magistrate of Zhuoshui County had to kneel down and kowtow.
If you want to get someone back, you can't do it forcefully.
The advice given by my confidants is to go back and report to the county magistrate immediately. Then someone will send some gold and silver treasures to Danyang. Maybe they can impress General Yu and let him let Diao Jun go.
