Chapter 537: Return

The ship docked at the Leizhou wharf, and the large group of men and horses escorted one hundred and twenty prisoners off the ship, and then marched to Leizhou City.

After Wei Zhongguo and other officials of Haikangzhi County got the news, they hurriedly waited outside the Zhenyang Gate, ready to greet the Futai adults who had returned triumphantly. It's just that they look at the new and quiet official road, and they whisper to each other.

They were skeptical about the good news that had just come back.

After Xu He's gang of pirates ransacked Hebei Village, they went to ransack Hebei Village. Zhao Qianhu led the people to chase away, and the two sides fought at Shiziling, resulting in mutual casualties, and Xu He led the remnants of the army to flee upstream of the Nandu River.

Subsequently, Xiao Rihui, the same acquaintance of Leizhou Wei, even dispatched troops to strictly guard the gates of Leizhou City, and issued a high-profile slogan of "Survival with Leizhou City".

is also the case, the current Leizhou City is panicked, and they are always afraid that Xu He's gang of would-be robbers will suddenly enter the city.

But at this tense moment, in the fear that the Japanese would break the city at any time, the news of the triumphant return of Lord Fuzun suddenly came, and hundreds of captives were escorted back.

As a result, they could not help but have serious suspicions, suspecting that the good news that had come back was false.

Tuk Tuk ......

A fast horse came from far and near from the official road, and the errand officer who had just been sent out was returning from the horse.

When the messenger came to the officials and turned over and dismounted, Wei Zhongguo hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Where is Lord Futai?" What's going on? Did you really capture a captive? ”

"Returning to your lordships, Lord Futai has brought back one hundred and twenty captives, and it is less than a mile away from here!" The officer replied excitedly as if he had drunk a little wine.

One hundred and twenty captives?

Hearing this number, the officials were even more suspicious, but Chen Xuezheng directly questioned: "How is this possible!" If you say one or twenty, the old man will still believe it, but one hundred and twenty is unrealistic! ”

"That's it! Lord Futai led a hundred Leizhou guards to exterminate the Japanese invaders yesterday, how could it be possible to capture 120 Japanese invaders? The Jiaoyu of Haikang County also echoed the Tao.

But it's no wonder that they have doubts, these dozens of widows who are running around have already made the entire Leizhou Wei feel like a great enemy, and even have to close the city gate. Now that Lin Haoran only took a hundred Leizhou guards out of the city, and as a result, he captured one hundred and twenty widows, how could they believe it?

"Although the small ones are not counted, there are really hundreds of captives, this is true!" The officer replied in the affirmative.

Despite the officer's words, the officials were skeptical, and they could not believe that such a thing was true unless seeing was believing.

"Lord Futai has arrived!"

It didn't take long for a movement to come from the official road, but I saw a team coming in a mighty way.

Wei Zhongguo's eyes were not very good, and when he heard that others said that it was the team of the Lord of Futai, he hurriedly urged: "Quick! Fast! Light firecrackers! Get ready to play! ”

Believe it or not, when Lin Haoran led the team to appear in a majestic manner, they had to hold a welcoming attitude.

Lin Haoran's power is now growing, and his prestige is increasing day by day, and he can be said to be the emperor of Leizhou City. Whether it is the officials of Leizhou Mansion or Haikang County, they are all deaf to him.

"The lower officials are here to welcome the Lord of Futai and congratulate the Lord on his triumphant return!"

All the officials walked to the official road, and they all bowed to Lin Haoran, who was the leader. Someone secretly glanced ahead, and found that there were really people tied up, and all of them were strong people, so they must be pirates.

Lin Haoran rode a white war horse and walked at the forefront, with a little spring breeze on his face. This battle not only dealt a heavy blow to the Blue Flag Gang, but also increased his political bargaining chips.

In the promotion of the Ming Dynasty, in addition to the background and qualifications, it is also necessary to discuss merit, especially military talent. Like some feudal officials, they often made military merits, which were reused by the imperial court.

Facing the waiting subordinate officials, he turned over and dismounted and said with a smile: "Gentlemen, please get up!" ”

"Lord Xie Futai!" Wei Zhongguo and the others got up from the ground, but when their eyes fell on the group of prisoners, they couldn't help but be secretly shocked that everything was true.

"Oh my God!"

"It's amazing!"

"Hundreds of captives!"

……

Although things are a little unbelievable, the facts are in front of them, but they can't be compelled to believe them. This top boss, who is as bright as Wen Kuixing, has really staged one miracle after another.

After Lin Haoran asked everyone to get up, he was also concerned about his own situation, so he asked Wei Zhongguo and others.

He was not too surprised to learn that Xu He and the others were not captured, but when he heard that Xiao Rihui actually sent troops to guard Leizhou City, a small group of anger immediately surged in his heart.

This Xu He just led more than 30 people, and if he didn't mobilize people to encircle and suppress, he even let the large army strictly guard Leizhou City. This not only puts the people outside the city in danger, but also makes the people of Leizhou City panic, and affects the investment promotion work of Leizhou City.

Especially the latter, if those foreign businessmen mistakenly think that Leizhou City will be attacked at any time, this is a dangerous city. Even if there was gold everywhere, they would not dare to come here to do business.

"Let's go back to the city!"

Lin Haoran's good mood vanished, and he gave an order with a gloomy face.

Wei Zhongguo and other officials looked at each other, but they didn't dare to say more, and honestly followed behind Lin Haoran. Some people guessed that Leizhou Wei's fellow acquaintance annoyed Lin Leigong, but Leizhou Wei belonged to the Guangdong Metropolitan Division, but he couldn't move easily.

Lin Haoran naturally knew that Xiao Rihui was not under his control, and his rank was higher than him. It's just that such an action made him very annoyed, and the spring breeze of Fang Cai disappeared without a trace.

As is often the case, the trees want to be quiet and the wind does not stop.

"Lord Fuzun, please save my fellow villagers!"

Just as the team entered Zhenyangmen, a little old man led two young people to the middle of the street crying and kneeling, blocking Lin Haoran's way.

Lin Haoran looked at the little old man, and faintly felt a little kind, so he turned over and dismounted directly, stepped forward to help the old man up, and asked about the situation.

This little old man was originally a villager in Xihu East Village, and their village was just ransacked by a group of Japanese pirates, and many villagers were captured by those Japanese pirates. He led a few villagers to escape to Leizhou City, but when he arrived at this Leizhou City, he had no way to ask for help.

When they arrived at the yamen of Leizhou Wei to ask for help, the adults inside refused to serve the soldiers and beat them away with sticks. I heard that Lord Fuzun was going to return from Zhenyangmen, so he rushed here to complain.
