Hanzhong, Hanshan, at the foot of the mountain. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After seven years, Zhou Fan returned here again.

The last time Zhou Fan came here was not long after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, when he went to serve as the Taishou of Hanzhong.

He came to capture the tiger mount for the first special cavalry tiger horse under his command, and this time Zhou Fan returned to Hanshan with a complete tiger horse.

After careful consideration, Zhou Fan still decided not to bring troops and horses from Wei Yan's side, that kind of movement was too big, too eye-catching, in case the local people thought that there was another war, it would not be good.

Therefore, Zhou Fan also brought the tiger horse out directly from Chengdu and came to the foot of Han Mountain, which was declared to be hunting.

This kind of cold winter season is indeed a good season for hunting, so although the movement is not small, it will not attract the attention of others too much.

In addition to the tiger rider, there were also Dian Wei and Zhang Ren who accompanied him, and the two of them had also seen the giant python before, so Zhou Fan brought the two of them with him this time.

"My lord, this is the village." A middle-aged man in his forties, dressed as a Confucian student, next to Zhou Fan, said to Zhou Fan.

When Zhou Fan came to this Nanzheng, it was naturally indispensable for someone to come back to receive him, and the person who came to receive him this time was Lu Guang, the commander of Nanzheng County.

As the saying goes, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the sea to eat the sea, the scope of Hanshan is quite large, so there are still many villages living at the foot of Hanshan Mountain and relying on Hanshan to live.

Just like Zhangjia Village, where Zhang Ren was born, is one of them, but now that Zhangjia Village has such a character as Zhang Ren, the whole village has also moved to Nanzheng to live, and life must be much better than before.

And the small village that Lu Guang led Zhou Fan to this time was the small village that suffered the greatest loss in the previous period, not only lost a lot of pigs, cattle and sheep and other livestock, but also lost six people. And most of these people are young adults in the family, laborers. There are only about 100 people in such a small village, and six laborers have been lost at once. Naturally, there were heavy losses.

In addition to wanting to catch the giant python this time, Zhou Fan also wanted to deal with this matter. Give an explanation to the people. Otherwise, even if there are no more disappearances, the local people will still live in fear.

"Yes!" Zhou Fan nodded and walked in directly, while Dian Wei, Zhang Ren, Lu Guang and several officials of Nanzheng followed behind.

As for the tiger rider, it was temporarily placed in a clearing not far away by Zhou Fan, otherwise just such a tiger rider would be able to paralyze these ordinary villagers.

"The village chief. It's the county magistrate who is here, you come out quickly, it's the county magistrate who is here! Before Zhou Fan and the others walked a few steps, a young man who was not very old and looked quite simple and was chopping wood called out.

After a while, there were seven or eight people coming out of the house, there were men and women, and the leader was a strong man in his forties, who was afraid that he was the village chief in the young man's mouth.

"Lord Prefectural Order. Why are you here, it's cold outside, fast. Come in and sit. The strong man greeted Lu Guang with an enthusiastic face.

Zhou Fan glanced at Lu Guang, and nodded secretly in his heart, looking at this strong man's enthusiasm for Lu Guang, he knew that this Lu Guang was a good official in the hearts of the people.

If it weren't for this kind of big incident in their village before, I am afraid that they might not have the opportunity to be able to take Lu Guang aside in their lifetime, as for the Taishou and even the state pastor above, let alone mention.

"No, no, I'm here today. It's for the last thing! Lu Guang hurriedly waved his hand.

When the strong man heard this, he was overjoyed, and exclaimed excitedly: "Could it be that those people who are missing from our village have been found?" ”

The dead animals in the village. It doesn't matter anymore, it's just a foreign object. And after this matter was reported to Zhang Song. In order to settle the matter, Zhang Song also directly asked people to compensate these villagers at market price.

But those missing people, who have lived together for decades, have a deep relationship, and everyone hopes that they can come back intact.

"It's the incompetence of the officials, and they can't help everyone find those lost family members." Lu Guang said apologetically.

Hearing this, the faces of those villagers were also a little lost, but they didn't show too much excitement, they should have been sad before.

Those who are missing have been lost for two whole months, and if they are really alive, I am afraid that they will have come back long ago, and basically everyone has accepted this cruel fact.

"This matter is incompetent, but after the state pastor heard about this, he also came to make the decision for you." Lu Guang turned sideways, let Zhou Fan out and said.

Suddenly, all the villagers were stunned, looking at Zhou Fan a little blankly, and then at Dian Wei and Zhang Ren, but they were a little at a loss for a while.

"Don't you hurry up and see Lord Governor!" Lu Guang looked at the strong man's blank appearance, but he was a little anxious, and hurriedly urged.

"I've seen Lord Governor, Lord Governor Atonement, I don't recognize it, this ......" Suddenly the strong man was a little incoherent, at this time, if they didn't know that the young man in front of them, who was in his early twenties, was their Zhou Fan, the governor of Yizhou, then they could directly wipe their necks and commit suicide.

Lord Governor, what a high-ranking figure he is, but they don't know him at all.

For those of them who are mountain people, it is already very good to be able to see the local county order, and more people are afraid that they have not even seen it.

If it hadn't happened to their village before, I'm afraid they wouldn't even have had a chance to meet Lu Guang, let alone Zhou Fan.

They knew that the pastor of Yizhou was Zhou Fan, and they also knew that Zhou Fan was quite young, but they didn't expect that the young man in front of them was Zhou Fan.

Who would have thought that a high-ranking figure like Zhou Fan would come to their village specifically, if it weren't for what Lu Guang said, they wouldn't have believed it at all.

"Hey, there's no need to be polite!" And at this time, Zhou Fan finally showed a sense of existence: "On the contrary, it is the state pastor who wants to make amends to you, such a thing happened in my Yizhou, but I didn't know until now." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare." The strong man hurriedly shouted, he was originally a little restrained in the face of Lu Guang, but now he was a little flustered in the face of Zhou Fan.

"Pastor Benshu is here today to give you justice." Zhou Fan said: "I am afraid that the affairs of your village are committed by a group of thieves, and at this moment this group of thieves is hiding in the Han Mountain. This time, the Honshu Mu brought soldiers and horses to prepare to personally exterminate them and avenge the people who were gone! (To be continued...) ）
