"Lao Mu!" Zhao Xing squatted next to the corpse of the one who was shot to death, and pulled out the arrow with red eyes, while the other one stood silently aside, his body still trembling slightly.

Xu Jin felt a trace of guilt in his heart, after all, this nurse died to protect himself, after all, it was a modern time, in his eyes, all lives are equal, and once the values are formed, it is difficult to change, he can't be like the ancient superiors, who take it for granted that the warrior guards the lord and dies.

Xu Jin patted Zhao Xing's shoulder: "Trouble Brother Zhao to properly settle the aftermath of the Mu Nursing Home, I will bear all the expenses required, and I will give twenty taels of silver as a pension, and the old Mu family can come to me if they have any difficulties in the future." Xiaowan, take two taels of silver to Brother Zhao first! ”

Although the family didn't have much money, Xie Xiaowan still didn't hesitate to take out two taels of silver and stuff it to Zhao Xing.

"Brother Zhao took these two taels of silver to settle Lao Mu first, and he really didn't have so much silver on his body at this time, and the twenty taels of silver for the pension will be given back to the city."

Zhao Xing's eyes showed a hint of warmth, and he said gratefully: "That little one thanked Xu Gongzi for Lao Mu's family!" ”

Twenty taels of silver is a huge amount of money for ordinary people, and saving a little money can even take four or five years.

Xu Jin walked to the two thieves who fainted, and Xie Xiaowan said in a low voice: "Xianggong, these two thieves seem to be the water thieves who attacked the big ship that day!" ”

Xu Jin nodded, he had already recognized these two guys. Xie Yidao said strangely: "Brother-in-law, this group of thieves once attacked you?" ”

"That's right, when Xiao Wan and I left Xujia Village last year, we took the Fei family's big boat, and these thieves attacked the big boat in a small boat, but fortunately they were repulsed, and Xiao Wan also killed two water thieves!"

Xie Erjian said suddenly: "It's no wonder, I'm afraid that these thieves are looking for you to take revenge today, and they set up an ambush in advance, it is estimated that there are also their eyeliners in Shangrao County, brother-in-law, you should be more careful in the future." ”

Xu Jin understood that this group of thieves was afraid that it was not as simple as seeking revenge on themselves, but was instructed by the prince of King Ning. It is too passive to continue like this, and he must find a way to eliminate King Ning's minions and forces near Shangrao as soon as possible, otherwise he will have to live in fear in the future.

Xu Jin pondered for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Big brother and second brother, first tie up these two thieves and bring them to Xujia Village." ”

Zhao Xing hurriedly reminded: "Young Master Xu, then you have to see if there is any poison hidden in their back sockets, the water thief who was captured alive on the boat last time committed suicide by taking poison." ”

Xie Erjian hurriedly squatted down and pinched Zhao Baobao's mouth and looked at it, and said, "It's really there!" ”

Xie Erjian stretched out two fingers and probed a black medicine bag from Zhao Baobao's mouth, and also found one in the mouth of another thief, Zou Erliu.

Xie Yidao said awe-inspiringly: "Brother-in-law, these are not ordinary bandits, but more like specially trained dead soldiers." ”

Xu Jin nodded and said, "I'm afraid they were specially sent by Prince Ning to kill me." ”

The faces of the Xie brothers all became solemn, they were fishing in Poyang Lake, and Nanchang, the fief of King Ning, was also on the edge of Poyang Lake, so they felt the power of King Ning's Mansion more deeply.

Sixty or seventy percent of the fertile land in the prefectures and counties near Poyang Lake was forcibly occupied by Ning Wangfu, resulting in the displacement of a large number of peasants, the separation of wives and wives, and the fact that some homeless people who had no place to live simply escaped into Poyang Lake and became bandits.

In recent years, the water thieves in Poyang Lake, led by Ling Shiyi and others, have become more and more powerful, and the Xie family has made a living by fishing in Poyang Lake, which has naturally been greatly affected.

Xie Xiaowan's little face turned slightly pale, and Xu Jin comforted softly: "Don't worry, King Ning won't be able to jump for long." ”

The Xie family brothers glanced at each other, and they really didn't understand why Xu Jin was so confident in what he said. Xu Jin was not easy to explain at this time, of course, he didn't know how to explain, he couldn't tell everyone that he had crossed over from the later generations, so he knew that King Ning would soon be executed for the failure of the rebellion?

Next, Xie Yidao followed Xu Jin's instructions, tore his clothes into strips of cloth and knotted ropes, and tied up Zhao Baobao and Zou Erliu, these two jobs are very important, maybe they can dig out something valuable from their mouths, and may even use this to help Governor Sun exterminate the bandits in Leadshan County, and at the worst, dig up the evidence that some officials in Shangrao County are thieves. Of course, it would be best if you could take advantage of this to overthrow the prefect Lu Kang!

"Hey, brother-in-law, we've made a lot of money this time, and there are more than a dozen horses left by the bandits in the woods over there!" Xie Erjian walked around the hillside and came back, happily.

Today's horses are very valuable, and they are worth ten taels of silver at will, and if they encounter wartime, it is possible that the price will be increased several times.

Of course, now these horses are all thieves, so naturally they can't be kept for themselves, Xu Jin turned to Zhao Xing and said, "Brother Zhao, I have something to ask you for now." ”

Zhao Xing arched his hand and said, "Young Master Xu, please speak!" ”

"You are riding a fast horse back to the county seat now, and you will pass through the report fee division, and ask him to inform the county lord to immediately bring people to Xujia Village to detain the thieves, and you must bring as many people as possible, I am afraid that something will happen later!" Xu Jin said solemnly, now that there is a live mouth in his hands, he is afraid that the prince of Ning Wang will jump off the wall in a hurry, so he has to guard against it.

Zhao Xing didn't dare to slack off, and immediately ran to the woods behind the hillside to lead a horse, and hurried back to Shangrao County.

Watching Zhao Xing ride his horse away, Xu Jin pondered for a moment and asked, "Erniu, how far is it from here to the county seat of Leadshan?" ”

Erniu scratched the back of his head and hummed: "I guess it's almost the same as going back to Shangrao County, I haven't been there yet, but my father has been, and when I return to the village, Uncle Ten will ask my father." ”

Xu Jin frowned, if he returned to Xujia Village, he was afraid that he would be delayed for another hour.

"Xu Gongzi, the little one is from Leadshan County, but I don't know how far it is from here to Leadshan County, in short, I can finally arrive after riding a horse for an hour or two." The nursing home next to him suddenly interjected.

This nurse's name is Mu Yong, and Zhao Xing are both from Leadshan County, and they have been martial artists in the Fei family for several years.

Xu Jin couldn't help but rejoice: "Then Brother Mu can recognize the way?" ”

Mu Yong nodded affirmatively!

Xu Jin took out the letter that Fei Hong wrote to Governor Sun, handed it to Xie Erjian, and instructed: "Second brother, please go to Leadshan County with Brother Mu, be sure to hand over this letter to Governor Sun in person, and ask him to send someone to Xujia Village as soon as possible." ”

Xie Erjian couldn't help but secretly speak, his brother-in-law can really toss, the person who complains is either the vassal king or the thief, and the person who interacts with him is either the elder or the governor.

"Brother-in-law, it's no problem to send a letter, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to see such a big official as the governor!" Xie Erjian shrugged his shoulders and said.

Xu Jin said: "When you get to the ground, you will say that Fei Ge sent you here, Fei Shi is good friends with Governor Sun, he will meet you, Xiaowan, give one or two silver to Brother Mu to use on the road." ”

Xie Xiaowan took a tael of silver and stuffed it to Mu Yong, Xie Erjian couldn't help but be speechless, his brother-in-law had a hand in earning money, and he spent more money, and he threw it out in the blink of an eye.

Of course, Xu Jin is not poor and generous, but if he wants the horse to run fast, how can he not give forage? Only a generous and bold boss will be willing to follow you, which is a very realistic truth.

Anyway, if he hadn't seen Xu Jin give his dead companion twenty silver pensions just now, Mu Yong wouldn't have been able to talk positively, it was really worth fighting with such a affectionate, righteous, bold and generous boss.

Fortunately, a few days ago, Fei Hong recommended a bookseller to Xu Jin, and the matter of engraving "Shooting the Condor" has been negotiated, although the price is nearly 20% lower, but it is also a good income.

Xie Erjian and Mu Yong each led a horse left by the bandits and headed in the direction of Leadshan County.

Because he was worried that Liu Zhixian would drop the chain there, Xu Jin had to make two preparations, and directly sent Xie Erjian with Fei Hong's letter to Leadshan County to find Governor Sun.

Now what Xu Jin has to do is wait, hoping that Xie Erjian can meet Sun Sui smoothly, otherwise even if Liu Qingyuan can come on time, he is afraid that a small prefect will not be able to suppress the prefect Lu Kang, let alone the prince of Ning Wang behind Lu Kang.

Next, Xie Yidao threw Zhao Baobao and Zou Erliu, two bandits, into one of the carriages, and personally drove and guarded them, while Erniu was responsible for driving the other carriage and carrying Xu Jin and the others to Xujia Village.

As for the body of the family member who was shot to death, he was buried on the spot first to prevent being eaten by wild dogs and the like, and the corpses of those bandits were not treated like this, they were piled up in a pile, and then the leaves were covered a little, and they would be dealt with when Liu Zhixian brought people to arrive.

The two carriages drove to the vicinity of the entrance of Xujia Village, and the villagers who had been waiting for the wind at the head of the village immediately turned around and flew into the village, and the entire Xujia Village was boiling in an instant.

In fact, every household in Xujia Village received a notice from the patriarch last night that Brother Jin would return to the village today, so everyone didn't go to the field today, and they all stretched their necks and waited there.

Although Xu Jin only passed the government test, he even picked the head of the county test and the government test, not to mention Xujia Village, even the entire town, not to mention that Xu Jin has not yet reached the age of fifteen, this is a great honor, belonging to Xujia Village, and the glory of the Shangrao Xu family!

Jingle Bell......

Two exquisite carriages drove into Xujia Village, which immediately attracted countless amazements and envious glances.

Erniu drove the carriage in front, raised his head and chest vigorously, and giggled vigorously, majestic!

A group of men in the clan led by the chief Xu Youguang were waiting at the entrance of the village to greet him, and as for the patriarch Xu Youguang, he was looking around on crutches at the door of the house at the moment, waiting for Xu Jin to come to the door to greet him. After all, he is the head of a clan, and he still has to be reserved, and it would be too much of a loss to go to the village to greet his nephew in person, of course, if Xu Jin becomes a Shangguan, it will be different at that time, and Xu Deming will personally go out of the village to greet him.
