Chapter 148: Slap in the face too fast (monthly ticket)
"Haha, I don't know which caravan was robbed, but it actually caused the officials in Xishan to rush to write letters to this general to plead for mercy!"
The face of Ping'an Province Jiedushi was full of ridicule, and his eyes were full of sarcasm when he looked at the letters in front of him.
"General, how should we reply?"
The guard commander next to him asked curiously: "Agree or reject?"
"No, let's put it off first!"
The governor of Ping'an Prefecture sneered: "Let them also taste the feeling of getting angry in a hurry!"
"really!"
The commander of the personal guards echoed: "Those guys are getting more and more excessive. They dare to peel off the food and grass allocated by the court, and the share is getting bigger and bigger. We won't be able to live in the future without a lesson!"
"Hmph, if those guys don't show anything this time, the bandits' plundering scope will not only extend to Ping'an Prefecture!"
Talking to the commander of the personal guards around him about topics that must not be spread outside, Ping'an Prefecture Jiedushi's expression was quite good, and it was obvious that this incident made him very happy.
only……
When I was in high spirits, suddenly a panic report came from the soldiers outside: "The general is not good, the general is not good..."
Damn it, I'm doing well, but you're not doing well!
Ping'an Prefecture's Jiedushi was so angry that he waved his hands and said to the commander of the guards: "What are you doing standing there in a daze? Why don't you ask people to come in!"
The commander of the personal guards was so embarrassed that he went out and glared at his rash younger brother, but it was obvious that his efforts were in vain.
The soldiers outside the door looked anxious. It was obvious that something had really happened, and it was something bad.
The guard commander's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't do anything to teach others. He pulled the guard into the room and said angrily: "Tell me, what happened?"
"General, the brothers outside just came to report..."
The soldiers lowered their heads, not daring to look at the boss at all, and reported urgently: "The bandits in Ping'an Prefecture were all captured in their own lair!"
a bolt from the blue!
This sudden news was like a thunderbolt from the blue, which shocked the governor of Ping'an Prefecture, and his eyes widened in disbelief.
"You, what did you say, say it again!"
As expected of having been through border wars for a long time, even though he was shocked by the sudden news, he immediately woke up the next moment and glanced at the commander of the guards who was also confused, and then looked at the guards who had shrunk their heads into ostriches.
Quite ferocious.
At this moment, he was undoubtedly feeling quite embarrassed, and at the same time a little angry.
The slap in the face came too quickly!
Just now he was ridiculing and ridiculing the officials in Jinyang City, but the sudden change of situation caught him completely off guard.
"General, all the bandits in Ping'an Prefecture were captured yesterday!"
Obviously, the soldiers who reported the news could not understand the mood of Ping'an Province Jiedushi at this time, but they also realized that the situation did not seem to be very good.
As a private soldier, he naturally knows some secrets that are not shared by outsiders.
It seems, it seems, maybe that group of bandits are disguised as border troops belonging to Ping'an Prefecture?
As for whether it is true or not, the soldiers are not very clear, but they also know that there must be something fishy in it.
Now that the news came that the gang of bandits had been wiped out, coupled with the solemn atmosphere in the boss's room, I had already confirmed the news in my heart and lowered my head lower.
"How did you get caught in one sweep? Do you have any more detailed information?"
With the buffer of the soldiers reporting again, Ping'an Prefecture Jiedushi had completely calmed down at this time, and his voice was unhurried and powerful.
"General, the news came that..."
Speaking of this, the soldier showed unconcealable embarrassment on his face and replied softly: "That group of bandits ate something unclean, and they were all attacked. The princes from the capital who rushed to redeem their people were all captured!"
Jaw-dropping!
The Jiedu envoy and bodyguard commander of Ping'an Prefecture felt as if their foreheads were about to explode.
His eyes instantly turned blood red, endless anger welled up in his heart, and his voice became hoarse and ugly: "Trash, trash, just trash!"
I was so angry that I didn’t even bother to expose certain information directly.
The commander of the personal guards was also speechless. He wondered if those guys had become bandits and had lost their vigilance after living too much leisurely life.
"General, what should we do now?"
No matter how angry I am, the most urgent thing right now is to rescue people, otherwise the situation will be out of control.
"What else can you do? Go out and save the person yourself!"
The Jiedushi of Ping'an Prefecture looked depressed and replied angrily. Then Youchong asked the soldiers: "By the way, what happened to those stupid bandits now? Were they not handed over to the Xishan local government?"
There was a hint of hope in his tone unconsciously. If possible, he didn't want to make things worse.
Fortunately, the content of the soldier's answer showed that the matter was not at its worst.
"Back to the general, the bandits are still in their lair, and the nearby local government hasn't had time to take over!"
That's good!
The governor of Ping'an Prefecture and the commander of the bodyguards exchanged glances. The commander of the bodyguards turned around and left without saying a word. He wanted to recruit people and not worry about what he had.
"By the way, do you know the background of the young master from the capital who is planning to redeem someone?"
After the commander of the personal guards left in a hurry, Ping'an Prefecture's Jiedushi finally came to his senses and asked curiously: "I don't know which family's children are so courageous!"
"General, he seems to be the young master of Rongguo Mansion in the capital!"
The soldier immediately reported back: "I heard that he followed his brother-in-law to Xishan on business, but one of his caravans was robbed, so he hurried to Ping'an Prefecture to rescue people, and that's how..."
There is no need to say more about what follows, and there is no need to mention the embarrassing things again.
Tsk…
"I didn't expect him to be a descendant of Rongguo Mansion!"
The expression on Ping'an Prefecture's Jiedushi envoy's face became even more exciting. He ignored the presence of his own soldiers and muttered to himself, "Isn't this a flood that has washed away the Dragon King Temple?"
Speaking of this, I feel even more depressed.
If he had known that the caravan in Rongguo Mansion had been robbed, he would have ordered those bandits to release them. After all, he had no sympathy at all.
In my heart, I actually had some dissatisfaction and complaints that I didn't say out loud.
Damn it, since he is from Rongguo Mansion, why didn't you send a message earlier to let him know, so as not to put him in an embarrassing situation now?
…
On the other side is the lair of bandits in Ping'an Prefecture.
Jia Cong sat in a high position, smiling and watching Xue Pan jumping around, venting his joy.
"Boss, why don't we send those bandits to justice as soon as possible? Why continue to stay in this shabby village?"
After jumping around for a while, he ran out of energy and sat down on the chair below. Xue Pan asked feebly: "Isn't this a good place?"
"If we really do this, I'm afraid we won't be able to escape safely from Ping'an Prefecture!"
Jia Cong chuckled lightly and said leisurely: "The identities of these bandits are not simple!"
Damn it, he didn't expect that there would be no way he could stop his luck.
I originally thought there would be a big battle, at least a fight with some of the bandits who were highly skilled in martial arts.
Unexpectedly, the bandits were so eaten that they turned into soft-legged shrimps. He, along with ten guards, a young man, Wangcai, and a Jinyang tycoon who helped negotiate peace, captured them and the villagers.
After just a few glances at the bandit prisoners who had become soft-footed shrimps and the layout of the cottage, I could tell at a glance that it had a strong military atmosphere.
Obviously, the big man in the Jinyang world who helped negotiate peace also saw the clues and did not want to get involved in the border army affairs, and it showed directly on his face.
Jia Cong did not embarrass this person. Instead, he politely expressed his gratitude and sent him away with a large thank you.
He himself took a dozen guards, the rescued Xue Pan, and everyone from the Xue family's caravan to stay behind to guard him. He also planned to meet and say hello to the confidants of Ping'an Prefecture's Jiedu Envoy.
Just by looking at the group of captured bandits, each of them was calm and calm without any panic, one knew that the Ping An Prefecture Jiedushi would never give up on them.
Thinking about it, once these bandit captives fall into the hands of the Xishan government, things may not be easy for them.
Jia Cong had no intention of completely falling out with Ping'an Province Jiedushi, nor was he qualified. Anyway, Xue Pan and the Xue family's caravan were safe and sound, and a lot of loot was seized. Such a result was already very good.
Not bad.
As long as you have a slightly more flexible mind, you will be able to see these thoughts clearly.
It's a pity that Xue Pan obviously doesn't have this brain.
"How extraordinary it can be, but they are just a bunch of bandits!"
Xue Pan said angrily: "In the past few days, I was so scared that I couldn't even sleep well if I didn't vent my anger!"
Jia Cong is speechless, can you please have some brains?
He waved his hand, not bothering to waste words with Xue, so he asked the boy Wangcai: "Have you collected all the copycats?"
"The count is over!"
Wangcai's face was full of excitement, his voice was filled with joy, and he laughed and said: "Third Young Master, we have made a lot of money this time!"
Then, he took out a brand new account book and said with a smile: "This is the account book that has been compiled. The accountants of the Xue family caravan have been a big help!"
Jia Cong smiled and nodded, taking the account book and looking through it slowly.
Sure enough, the harvest is not small!
According to the account book, gold and silver alone are worth 20,000 taels, as well as a large number of local specialties from Ping'an Prefecture and Xishan, such as furs, medicinal materials, gemstones, grains, etc. The account book also has a more detailed valuation: 50,000 taels of silver!
These are just the stocks of the copycat, as well as the weapons and equipment of the bandits in the copycat, and even a small number of war horses and livestock. The total value is tens of thousands of taels.
Sure enough, 'robbing the rich and giving to the poor' is the best way to get rich!
In the past few years, I worked hard to run Huiyou Bookstore and wrote several hit books, but I earned less than 5,000 taels.
This time, they just robbed a bandit den on the border. The harvest alone was worth more than 80,000 taels, which can be called a sudden fortune.
I couldn't help but wonder in my heart, I heard that there are a lot of bandits and water thieves in various parts of Daqing, especially in the Central Plains and the south, and they are much larger than the current cottages. Should I go and "clean them out"?
