Chapter 54, Aftercare

The brigade turned back to the north of the forest. Zu Zhao divided the team into two and asked Zu Li and Zu Ke to lead a team of people to escort the wounded to Lingzhi County for resettlement. Tian Xian untied his official seal and handed over two arresters to return to the city with Zu Li, Zu Ke and others, so that they could go under the gate to open the gate.

Subsequently, Zu Zhao arranged the remaining team of people to gather the captured thieves and carry out a search on the wasteland, or search for the missing wounded, thieves, or collect lost weapons and horses. The whole aftermath lasted for more than half an hour, during which not only recovered several wounded and horses, but also captured some mounts, weapons and other things that killed the barnabis.

Accompanied by Tian Xian, Zu Zhao and others escorted the captured thief to Lingzhi County.

After Zu Li, Zu Ke and others opened the gate, they specially stayed in front of the gate to wait for the reception. At this time, it was late at night, and the city tower asked that there were thieves who had violated the situation, and people had already been sent to martial law. After the dozens of archers guarding the city, the rest of the soldiers also gathered nervously in front of the door cave. Even if the children of the ancestral family and the captured servicemen who accompanied them repeatedly told them that they had repelled the thief and enemy, they still could not dispel everyone's doubts.

Until Zu Zhao and Tian Xian came with the second team, when they saw so many well-equipped children of the Zu family, those who did not know mistakenly thought that they were the officers and soldiers of the nearby Luronse, which could somewhat comfort people.

After welcoming into the city, Tian Xian sent his men to the resettlement place and let the pavilions and hostels in the county make empty as much as possible.

A team of more than 100 people were quickly assigned to stay in Guanyi, which was not far away, and also prepared for wine and food. As for the injured to settle down in one place, doctors, pharmacists and Taoists were summoned to come for treatment. A total of 38 thieves were arrested on this trip. In addition to the serious injuries and unimportant people who were sent to the county prison and tortured by the arresters overnight, the remaining five or six suspects of the main criminals were immediately taken to the county government and handed over to the king of Lingzhi County for personal interrogation.

Zu Zhao first treated the wound in the hall, then ate some hot food at will, and then went to the museum where the wounded gathered to visit the injured children and said some condolences. Zuji is still in a coma because of too much blood loss, but after the medical diagnosis, he has no risk of life. He only needs to do more conditioning in the future. Coming out of the museum on the side of the wounded, he went to the county government with Zu Fan, Zuling and other seniors. Anyway, this matter is not only directly related to the ancestral family, but also contributed to the suppression of the thieves. Naturally, it is necessary to find out the reason behind it.

Since Han Dang is waiting for sin, he naturally did not follow him.

There were people from the county government waiting outside the museum, and then led Zu Zhao and others to the county government.

When I came to the county government office, the courtyard was already brightly lit, and from time to time I could hear the screams of torture by the thief and the sound of officials scolding. After a notice, Tian Xian rushed from the hall to the front yard, first took Zu Zhao and others to the small hall on the side of the public hall, entertained everyone to sit for a moment, and specially served tea.

Tian Xian told Zu Zhao and others: "Since it is a court trial, it has its own rules. Please wait for a moment. After the interrogation of the county lord, he will meet his ancestor.

Although Zu Zhao was depressed, after all, this matter was the contribution of the ancestral family from beginning to end, and it also damaged the children of so many clans. At this time, he still couldn't get first-hand information, which was really unsatisfactory. However, for Tian Xian's face, he did not complain for the time being, so he waited patiently in the small hall.

Excluding the time when Zu Zhao and others rested in Guanyi, there was more than an hour before and after the court trial. From time to time, you can hear the sound of torture of the prisoner and the prisoner's unbearable bitter begging for mercy. In the small hall, three or four teas were changed before and after, and Zu Zhao even wanted to doze off. Not only him, but also his uncles, such as Zu Ling, Zu Li and Zu Ke, are also yawning. A night of fighting consumes not only physical strength, but also energy.

Zu Fan was quite safe. He sat down steadily and put on a serious look. It is worthy of being a person in the public school. I have long been accustomed to the procedures in the public school.

Wangxian Juntang is just judging, and he is slowly turning to the small hall, accompanied by several officials from the county. Wang County Junsheng is short and fat, and his official uniform has been deformed. At this time, he carefully wiped the sweat on his forehead with a towel and nodded cautiously to the ancestors.

"Mr. Zu, this is the king of this county." Tian Xian, who followed behind, immediately introduced.

Zushao and others got up and saluted each other.

Wang Xianjun was not in a hurry to say anything, but looked tired. He slowly paced to a seat in front of him and took a long sigh.

"The former Japanese official has received an official letter from Chen Xianjun. This matter is not a small matter. I have ordered the whole county to step up its precautions, and also appointed the county lieutenant to lead people to the county government to report. Unexpectedly, Mr. Zu and others rushed here yesterday, which was really unexpected. Wang Xianjun's words are yin and yang, and there are some complaints.

Zu Zhao's face did not change. Since he launched this siege and suppressing operation in advance, of course, he would know that there would be many red tape to go through in the event, but the important thing is to destroy the thief's conspiracy. In comparison, both the government and the family will distinguish which is more important. At present, after listening to Wang Xianjun's ridiculing words, he has some doubts in his heart that he will not torture those thieves for more than an hour, but he has no gain anything, right?

"This incident happened suddenly, and I was also helpless. Dare to ask the county lord, is it time to interrogate these thieves if they have confessions? He maintained a gentle attitude, apologized first, and immediately asked about the business.

"How dare you not recruit people with stolen goods? Humph, some unruly thieves colluded with the barbarians, intending to ambush the officials and take the opportunity to sneak attack the caravan. It's just an ordinary thief who robs his family. Wang Xianjun said disdainfully.

"Do you think this is just an ordinary thief?" Zu Ke was impatient and laughed at Wang Xianjun's words.

"Now it's winter, and it's normal for thieves to appear frequently. What's more, you and my counties are bordered. In the past, there was no precedent for Han people colluding with thieves to do evil. It's just that the scale is a little bigger this time. Wang Xianjun was very unhappy with Zu Ke's tone and emphasized with a dark face.

"Your Excellency, the horse found this time is by no means an ordinary thief. The thieves who used to rob the border are knowledgeable and ordinary herdsmen, but the thieves who fight with us this time are orderly and moderate in attack and defense. They are definitely not the work of ordinary little thieves. I'm afraid that there must be other conspiracies behind this matter. I hope Lord Wang can observe it clearly. Zuling took a step forward and said righteously.

"It's not surprising that Hu Ren is good at riding. How surprising can it be?" Wang Xianjun didn't take it seriously at all and said lightly.

"Isn't it ridiculous that there are more than a hundred little thieves who worry you so much? The year before last, the county entered the winter to prepare for thieves, but it had experienced nearly a thousand thieves. In the end, isn't it still a triumph of a broken thief? On the side, Lingzhi County's master book echoed Wang Xianjun's tone and said sarcastically.

Zu Zhao showed a sneer. The gang of nearly 1,000 thieves can be regarded as a rebellion. Not to mention that a border county can defend the city, I'm afraid that even if officers and soldiers are dispatched, it will take a long time to calm down the chaos. In addition, although he is not from Lingzhi County, Xu Wuxian County borders Lingzhi County. If there is such a big movement in the neighboring county, Xu Wu County will inevitably receive the wind. However, in his memory, the most serious robbery was just a disturbance between three or four hundred mountain thieves and exiles. Later, it was the combination of Xu Wu and Lingzhi counties to stop the chaos.

From this, it is not difficult to see that Wang Xianjun is a man of great achievements and deliberately falsely reported his achievements. The reason why it is so lightly at this moment may indeed have a downplay for the enemy, but I still believe that I still try to do this alone. Therefore, he showed an attitude of not caring at all, just to quickly send away the ancestors.

For him, he didn't want to take advantage of this matter to seek a reward. He just hopes to arouse the vigilance of the government and strive for an excuse for the recruitment that began this winter. However, taking a step back, he doesn't need to care about these things in front of Wang County. This is not Xu Wu County. If he wants to recruit troops, he should also attract the county magistrate.

At this time, Tian Xian's face was embarrassed. He said to Wang Xianjun, "Your excellency, this time I happened to meet Mr. Zu and chased the thief together. I thought that there was something hidden in this matter. Don't you say that most of the cases involved are Tianping Taoist disciples, and they are still organized by Taiping Daotu from other counties. Even if they don't care about the barbarian section, Taiping Dao is so ambitious that he can't help but be prevented.

Wang Xianjun said in an impatiently cold voice, "The left is Taiping Road and the right is Taiping Dao. This matter has been discussed for more than half a year. If Taiping Road was going to be in trouble, it would have been in chaos long ago. How about today? It has long been said that you don't understand at all. The prevalence of this peaceful road is more or less a good thing, which makes those people have a thought in their hearts, but they will keep their own peace.

Zu Ke robbed loudly, "Dozens of casualties in this battle, but you came to tell me that this case is just an ordinary thief!"

He is domineering and angry, showing a tendency to be rude.
