Just when Kou Ji was questioning the green-robed officials, Liu Heng rushed over after hearing the news.
After he approached, he drove the soldiers at Waqiao Pass, saying: "Get away, get away, get away..."
The soldiers at Waqiao Pass seemed to know Liu Heng, so they made way for Liu Heng to drive them away.
Liu Heng walked up to Kou Ji, first looked up at the green-robed official, frowned, and whispered to Kou Ji: "Fourth brother, the person behind the Liu family should be the Yingzhou military and horse capital.
Deploy Liu..."
Before Liu Heng finished speaking, Kou Ji raised his hand to stop him.
Kou Ji stared at the green-robed official and said coldly: "I don't care who is behind you, let alone what your background is, and I don't care for the moment that you deceived me and wanted to prove the crime of robbing my horse. You just saw it."
If you treat me as a superior official, not only do you not show courtesy, but you also talk to me in this tone, I can punish you for contempt of the superior officer."
"Zhang Yuan?"
"The villain is here!"
"How should you deal with contempt for your superior?"
"The lighter punishment may be five rods and a fine of three months' salary; the more severe punishment may be twenty rods and a one-year fine."
A cold light flashed in Kou Ji's eyes, and he shouted: "Then what are you waiting for? Press it down with twenty sticks, and then we can talk about other sins."
The guards of the Kou Mansion were already angry with the green-robed officials. When they heard Kou Ji's words, they all rushed forward.
Seeing the guards of the Kou Mansion rushing forward, the green-robed official quickly took a step back and hid behind the soldiers at Waqiao Pass. His beard and hair were spread out, and he glared angrily: "How dare you!"
As his shout fell.
The soldiers at Waqiao Pass took a step forward and guarded him.
When Kou Ji saw the soldiers rushing forward, he snorted coldly and cursed: "Are you trying to cause trouble?"
When the soldiers at Waqiao Pass heard this, they hesitated for a moment, looked at each other, and took a few steps back.
"snort!"
The green-robed official snorted coldly.
The soldiers at Waqiao Pass trembled all over and had no choice but to take a few steps forward.
Seeing this, Kou Ji's face turned cold, he took a step forward and sneered: "It seems that you are determined to go against me. If you are really brave, just stab me with the swords and guns in your hands.
I have to fight this man today, and no one can protect him."
Kou Ji drove the guards of the Kou Mansion forward, and the soldiers of Waqiao Pass stood in front of the guards of the Kou Mansion, preventing them from taking a step forward.
Kou Ji coldly snorted: "Liu Heng, bring him here."
Liu Heng gritted his teeth, rushed into the middle of the soldiers at Waqiao Pass, opened a path, twisted the arm of the green-robed official, and twisted him to Kou Ji.
The soldiers at Waqiao Pass did not know why, but they only stopped the guards of the Kou Mansion, but did not stop Liu Heng.
Liu Heng pushed the green-robed official to Kou Ji, but Kou Ji kicked him to the ground.
In his eyes full of anger, he coldly ordered the guards of the Kou Mansion, "Hit me hard!"
The guards of the Kou Mansion rushed forward, took the green-robed official from Liu Heng, and held him on the ground. Then someone picked up the water and fire sticks and prepared for execution.
"Kou Ji, I am serving an order from our deployment. If you dare to hit me, you are offending our deployment."
The green-robed official was held on the ground with his face on the ground, roaring angrily at Koo Ji.
Kou Ji said disdainfully: "Since you know my name, you should know who I am. If you know who I am, you should know my style of doing things. Don't say that the person standing behind you is just a military commander, even if you are standing behind
The person standing is the palace commander of the palace front department, and I will hit him without fail."
"Not only must they be beaten, but they must be beaten to death!"
"Do it!"
The green-robed official finally panicked when he heard that Kou Ji was going to kill him.
He shouted urgently: "Kou Ji, you have no right to deal with me. Even if I make a mistake, I have to teach it to the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple to deal with it. You are abusing lynching."
Kou Ji was stunned and sneered: "I thought you knew me very well, but I didn't expect that you only know me half-knowingly."
After saying this, Kou Ji said no more.
The guards of the Kou Mansion picked up the water and fire sticks and started to attack.
Seeing that Kou Ji was determined to kill him, the green-robed officials hurriedly shouted: "What are you waiting for? Are you watching me being beaten to death? If I am beaten to death, you will not be easy off either."
He was talking to the soldiers at Waqiao Pass.
When the soldiers at Waqiao Pass heard what he said, they looked embarrassed.
A commander-in-chief came out and said to Kou Ji, "Secretary Kou, please be patient and don't make things difficult for others who are of low rank."
Kou Ji sneered and said: "Now you know how to speak softly. Why didn't the people who beat me just now say soft words to you when they surrounded me?"
"Those in humble positions are also acting under orders..."
"You are allowed to act recklessly after being ordered to do so? Your duty is to protect your family and the country, not to act as a hawk for someone. If it weren't for your meritorious service in resisting the Liao Kingdom in daily life, you would not be able to escape punishment."
"..."
Kou Ji scolded the commander of the army. Seeing that the guards of the Kou Mansion had not taken action, he shouted: "What are you waiting for? You can't even hit people? Do you want me to teach you a lesson?"
"Crack!"
When the guards of the Kou Mansion heard this, they no longer hesitated. They picked up the water and fire sticks and threw them at the green-robed official.
With just one stick, the green-robed official fell to the ground like a toad and wailed loudly.
"Ah... if you don't save me... if you don't save me... you will all die..."
Seeing this, the commander of the army gritted his teeth, clasped his fists at Kou Ji and said, "Kou Shilang, as the saying goes, the county magistrate is not as good as the current one. I apologize for the offence."
"Do it!"
After the commander-in-chief clasped his fists and saluted, he took a step back and shouted to the soldiers behind him.
"Who dares?!"
At the critical moment, Wang Zeng roared angrily after hearing the news.
Wang Zeng trotted to the horse pen, stared at the soldiers of Waqiao Pass who were holding swords and guns in front of the horse ring, and shouted: "You are really brave, you dare to use weapons privately in the pass, who gives you the right?"
He asked Yingzhou soldiers and horses to deploy and come over to see me. If he couldn't reach Waqiao Pass in one day, I asked him to see what the sword of the Ministry of Justice was.
Where are the officers who supervise military affairs, judge and recommend officers in the army?
Tell them to come over and see me. I want to ask them how they supervise military affairs."
Wang Zeng spoke with great momentum.
All the soldiers at Waqiao Pass were stunned by him.
Then their eyes all fell on the green-robed official who was screaming and being beaten.
When Wang Zeng saw this, his eyes fell on the green-robed official, "Is this guy the official in the army?"
The soldiers at Waqiao Pass nodded in unison.
Wang Zeng spat, "As a military official, if you don't supervise the military affairs properly, but instead lead the troops to cause trouble, you are really worthy of death."
Wang Zeng glanced around angrily and saw the saber on the waist of the Kou Mansion guard. He immediately walked over, snatched the saber from the Kou Mansion guard's waist, and pushed away the Kou Mansion guard who was scolding the green-robed official. .
"Poof!"
The hand lifts the knife and drops it cleanly.
The green-robed official's head rolled out like a sepak takraw ball.
"Danglang~"
Wang Zeng threw down his knife, stared at the soldiers at Waqiao Pass in front of the horse pen, and cursed: "Get out! Otherwise, I will chop you down too."
After hearing this, the soldiers at Waqiao Pass fled from the horse pen one after another.
It wasn't that they were unwilling to rescue the green-robed official under Wang Zeng, but that they were powerless.
Because when Wang Zeng came, he did not come alone, but with the guards who accompanied him on his mission to Liao.
If they really had to face off against these guards in the capital who were wearing fine armor and holding envoys' ceremonial guards in their hands, even if they had ten heads they wouldn't be enough to chop them off.
It's not because they can't beat them, but because their identity determines that they can't attack them.
Once they take action, the word "rebellion" will be firmly stuck on their heads.
Kou Ji saw Wang Zeng neatly chop the green-robed official to death, and said with a little disgust: "Why did you chop him down? You plan to use his life to establish your authority."
Wang Zeng scolded him with disdain: "To establish your authority, who can be frightened by killing an official as big as a sesame seed or a mung bean? If you really want to establish your authority, kill Yingzhou and deploy all its troops, then that would be called establishing authority."
The words fell to the ground.
Before Kou Ji could speak, Wang Zeng said impatiently: "Since you kid is not willing to dedicate your horse to the court, then take your horse to Baozhou quickly. If you stay here, you will only cause trouble."
"
Kou Ji thought for a while and felt that what Wang Zeng said was reasonable, so he cupped his hands and said to Wang Zeng: "Then I will go ahead and wait for you in Baozhou."
Wang Zeng snorted inaudibly, waved his sleeves and left the horse pen.
After Wang Zeng left, Liu Heng approached Kou Ji and said enviously: "The old man is so majestic..."
Kou Ji glanced at him and said calmly: "One day, you can be as majestic as him."
Liu Heng rubbed his hands and asked hurriedly: "When? I can't wait any longer."
Kou Ji rolled his eyes and said angrily, "After you have done the cutting, when you enter the palace..."
Liu Heng froze on the spot with a look of astonishment.
A smile appeared on the corner of Kou Ji's mouth, and he ignored him and walked back to his room to wash up.
After Kou Ji took a few breaths, Liu Heng came back to his senses. He followed Kou Ji's footsteps and shouted, "Fourth brother, do you want me to join the palace as a eunuch? That's not possible."
Kou Ji returned to the room, and Liu Heng barged in immediately after.
"Fourth brother, you are actually teasing me."
Kou Ji ordered people to boil hot water and said calmly: "Who told us to have a deep relationship..."
Liu Heng tilted his head and thought, grinning: "That's right..."
Kou Ji ordered: "Go pack your things quickly and follow me to Baozhou tomorrow."
Liu Heng said in astonishment: "So urgent?"
Kou Ji nodded and said: "Don't worry, in this Waqiao Pass, a small promotion official dares to confront me, who knows what other people will appear behind me.
If there are one or two stupid young people who are bewitched and hurt you and me, it will not be beautiful."
After a pause, Kou Ji said with a faint look: "When we get to Baozhou, even if the king of heaven comes, he can't touch me. Let alone my horse..."
Liu Heng pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Then I'll go back and prepare things."
After Liu Heng left, the servants serving Kou Ji had already boiled water. Kou Ji did not rush into the water to wash up, but asked Zhang Yuan whether the guards of the Kou mansion who were injured by the soldiers at Waqiao Pass were properly placed.
After receiving Zhang Yuan's affirmative agreement, Kou Jicai slowly entered the water and washed himself.
After washing, Kou Ji lay on the bed and had a good sleep.
The next day.
After getting up.
Kou Ji packed his bags and left Waqiao Pass with the guards of the Kou Mansion, Liu Heng and his party, driving five thousand horses.
Run all the way to Baozhou.
After they left, seven or eight waves of people arrived in Baozhou, holding various documents in their hands, saying they were here to pick up horses.
After learning that Kou Ji had gone to Baozhou, he rode after him again.
Kou Ji traveled for a day and arrived in Baozhou.
The walls of Baozhou City were destroyed by Kou Ji and are now being rebuilt.
The people surrounding Baozhou City are all civilians.
When Kou Ji and his entourage arrived, a fellow citizen recognized them.
As the news of Kou Ji's arrival in Baozhou spread, other civilians building the city wall also rushed over.
They rushed to Kou Ji and bowed and saluted.
Some people even wanted to kneel down, but Kou Ji stopped them.
The old soldier who had talked with Kou Ji bowed deeply to Kou Ji and said: "I would like to thank Kou Gong for his great kindness on behalf of all the soldiers of the Bulgarian Army. If Kou Gong hadn't given the villain food and clothing, I'm afraid the villain and the others would have been
If we can’t survive last year’s cold winter, the villain and his family won’t survive either.”
The old soldier saluted again, "Little old man, on behalf of the soldiers of the Protectorate Army, I would like to thank Kou Gong again for his great kindness. If Kou Gong hadn't planned land for the villain and his family members and taught them how to make a living, the villain would have
The others are afraid that they still won’t have enough to eat.
Although it is said that Chen Gong was behind this incident, the villain and others all know that it was Kou Gong who planned this matter behind his back."
Kou Ji jumped off the donkey's back, helped the old soldier up, and said with a wry smile: "I can't bear the word "Kou Gong". My grandfather is still alive at home. His old man is the real Kou Gong, and the Kou Gong is known to the whole country.
"
The old soldier was stunned when he heard this, and he cupped his hands and said, "It's the little old man Meng Lang. From now on, I will call you Little Kou Gong. What do you think?"
Kou Ji waved his hand and said, "That's not necessary. Just call me Kou Ji."
The old pawn shook his head and said seriously: "That's not possible. You are very kind to the villain and others. The villain and others must tell the descendants of your kindness and let them pass it on from generation to generation.
I can still claim my life from you, but my descendants are not so qualified."
After a pause, the old pawn said excitedly: "To tell you the truth, I have lived a wandering life for half my life. I have been used to living without enough food and clothing. I have never thought about the end of my life.
When you are here, you can see the waves of wheat rolling in the fields, you can see the fish and shrimps playing in the pond, and you can see the life of pigs and sheep running around."
The old pawn lowered his chest and said with tears in his eyes: "This is all given by you..."
"I thought that after you left Baozhou, I would never see you again, but I didn't expect that you could come back to Baozhou again."
"..."
What the old soldier said was sincere, and the tens of thousands of civilians behind him were also sincere.
They looked at Kou Ji with eyes full of gratitude and respect.
Kou Ji had been an official for several years, and finally experienced a little bit of the feeling of serving as an official and benefiting a party.
He said something silently in his mind.
"I don't ask you to be grateful to me, I just ask you not to scold me in the future..."
