Song Chongjin avoided answering, but went to see Commander Dong first: "Commander Dong, can the other civilian ships let them leave first." ”

Commander Dong was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted: "Yes, yes, the last general will forget about this stubble for a while, and let them go immediately, let them go." ”

As he spoke, he hurriedly beckoned a forbidden army to come over, and after a few commands, the forbidden army trotted all the way away and passed the word over.

Those boats that followed Song Chongjin and them, for the rest of their lives, were relieved at first, but they were afraid.

After all, there are so many people who have died, there will be no trouble, right?

They are all waiting in fear.

Seeing that someone came to spread the word and asked them to leave first, where could they take care of so much, they hurriedly beckoned the boatman to lift the anchor and raise the sails.

Even at night, I can't care about it, so I will leave this hell on earth first.

After experiencing this scene, I am afraid that many of them will not be able to sleep well in this month.

Watch as the merchant ships slowly sail away.

Only Song Chongjin and their ship and the ships of the forbidden army remained.

The surface of the river suddenly became cold, and only the groans of the injured bandits could be faintly heard.

There were already henchmen of Commander Dong who came to his side and whispered something.

Commander Dong's face changed, and he suddenly got up: "What did you say?" Boss Hou was ambushed? ”

The henchman nodded.

Commander Dong couldn't help but look at Song Chongjin.

Song Chongjin glanced at him lightly, so that Commander Dong didn't dare to look at it directly.

Busy laughing and explained: "The prince doesn't know, the boss of this group of water bandits in the Tiger Leaping Gorge is surnamed Hou, and he has a lot of lives on his hands, and he is the most treacherous and cunning, and he is ruthless. I never thought that I would not be defeated by the prince of the world, but it is really the blood of the grandfather of the country, and it is very the style of the grandfather of the country back then! ”

When Song Chongjin heard this, his expression looked a little relaxed.

He asked, "Since this group of bandits has been entrenched for many years and is endangering passing ships, why don't you exterminate them?" ”

Commander Dong's face showed a sad expression: "The prince doesn't know, our forbidden army stationed in various places can't easily go out of the barracks to meddle in local affairs. Unless the governor and governor give us an order, we can leave the camp. Although this water bandit is rampant, but the Liangzhou Mansion doesn't ask us for help, we can only be anxious——"

This is to throw the pot to the Liangzhou Mansion.

Song Chongjin looked at Commander Dong and didn't say that he believed him, nor did he say that he didn't believe it.

Just look at the sky: "There are still alive in these bandits, and they have to bother Commander Dong to interrogate one or two." This official won't bother Commander Dong! I'm afraid that Commander Dong will have to go to the water bandits' lair early tomorrow morning to see what is going on, and the time is pressing, so I won't delay Commander Dong's efforts! ”

As he spoke, he made a gesture to see off the guest.

These words reminded Commander Dong that he was overwhelmed by Song Chongjin's momentum before, and he couldn't think of so much for a while.

At this moment, he was reminded that he couldn't care about anything else, so he hurriedly said goodbye and led a group of men to leave in a hurry.

As soon as they left, Jian Huaifeng said, "My lord, are you going to give credit to this forbidden army?" Didn't the adults still suspect that this forbidden army had colluded with the water bandits? Why are they allowed to interrogate now, if it is really them, wouldn't it give them a chance to confess? ”

The corners of Song Chongjin's mouth raised a sarcastic arc: "If the person surnamed Dong is a smart person, he will know how to report less work." As for whether there is collusion in this, it is not something I can worry about now. I will take a letter of absence tomorrow and send it back to the capital, and there will naturally be people in the capital who are more anxious than me. ”

"Besides, such a big thing can't be hidden, once it is reported, I am afraid that the officialdom of Liangzhou Mansion will be in turmoil once. Why should I stir up trouble? Among these people, I am afraid that none of them are clean! ”

"Anyway, the leader of the water bandits and nearly half of the people have been killed, which can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people. The rest are also tigers with their teeth extracted, who can't turn over the wind and waves, so they go to toss. ”

There are still some words, Song Chongjin didn't say, but Jian Huaifeng also understood.

Let the forbidden army go out of the limelight, everyone's attention is naturally on the side of the forbidden army, and it is only right that they should go to office early.

What's more, there is a Gu family and a Song family in the capital, which should be his credit, and he can't run away.

When Song Chongjin returned to the cabin, he saw that Wang Yongzhu was arranging for someone to boil hot water.

When Mrs. Zhang saw Song Chongjin coming in, she looked up and down first, and when she saw that he was fine, she was completely relieved.

Knowing that there were many people on the boat at the moment, it was not the time to speak, so Mrs. Zhang couldn't help it.

The hot water was brought up, and Song Chongjin took a bath, washed all the bloody gas on his body, and then went back to the cabin.

Because of the wearing and the forbidden army, the two only exchanged one look, said a few common words, and blew out.

On the outer deck, the boatmen and the forbidden army were busy all night, until it was dawn, and the bandits were dragged to the forbidden ship.

The boatmen carried the water from the river and washed the deck clean.

When Song Chongjin got up at dawn, he heard Song Xiaoyin report that Commander Dong asked to see him.

Commander Dong didn't seem to have slept all night, his eyes were bloodshot, but he was full of energy and looked extremely excited.

Seeing Song Chongjin, he hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Lord Shizi, where those water bandits recruited their lair, I wonder if Lord Shizi is interested in seeing and knowing?" ”

Song Chongjin waved his hand: "Just have Dong Commander to go, I have delayed a lot of time along the way, and if I don't hurry up, I'm afraid that I will miss my term of office, that is a big crime of contempt for the imperial court, I really can't help it!" ”

Commander Dong's eyes lit up, and Song Chongjin wanted to give him a lot of credit.

Busy showing regret: "Then the general will not dare to stay with the prince of the world, I wish the prince a smooth journey!" If there is anything found in this water bandit's lair, I will send someone to inform the prince! ”

Song Chongjin nodded, and sent away the impatient Dong Commander and his party.

Under the watchful eye of the forbidden army, he ordered the ship's family to set sail and slowly drift away.

Watching Song Chongjin and their boat go away, Commander Dong couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Brothers, let's go, let's go to the bandits' lair to have a look, I can't say that we will send it today-"

This is stationed in the forbidden army in the field, and there is not much oil and water, and they are waiting for dry pay.

If there is no accident this time, everyone's purse can be bulging.

The forbidden army shouted and ran to the lair of the water bandits.

Song Chongjin and the others stood at the stern of the boat, and from a distance, they saw the forbidden army rowing the boat to the shore and heading halfway up the cliff.

Behind him, Song Xiaowu reported in a low voice: "Yesterday, the forbidden army caught those live people on their boat, tortured them, and asked for the location of the lair. Listening to the water bandit's explanation, they said that their boss had accumulated a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry, which were hidden in the cave. ”

"One of the bandits seems to know Commander Dong, and I see him take the man aside alone, I don't know what he asked, and then he killed the man—"

Song Chongjin said hard work, and let Song Xiaowu go down to rest.

He glanced back at the ships of the forbidden army and sneered, such a big hot meat bun, I don't know if a commander of the forbidden army can swallow it.

Ahead, because the wind direction had changed, it was a good wind all the way, and the sails were bulging tightly, and it was fast towards the end of the canyon.

When I finally got out of the canyon, I saw that on both sides of the canyon mouth, there were dense boats, waiting quietly.

It was the same boat that let them go first yesterday.

Seeing Song Chongjin and their boats coming out, cheers came from those boats.

Song Chongjin signaled the boatman to slow down and row slowly, and the people on the passing boat, the flowing water also knelt on the deck, bowing and thanking Song Chongjin for their life-saving grace!
