The backyard of Baoding Government Office.

After Li Wensheng found out that Li Yi had defeated the Baiyangdian thieves, he burst into laughter and his whole body instantly looked much younger.

He originally placed the refugees in Anxin as a temporary measure, just to create a benevolent government so that he could go further. Unexpectedly, the Anxin refugees not only settled in Anxin, but also defeated the Baiyangdian bandits.

.

Unexpectedly, it also made him very happy. The merits of this benevolent government were repaid, and he did not expect that the merits of suppressing bandits would be shared with him.

Wang Duanhou, the master next to him, saw it and complimented him: "It is thanks to the wise eyes of the governor that he placed the refugees in Anxin. Now Anxin is safe and the refugees have settled down. Now everyone in Baoding Prefecture praises the governor for his benevolent government. This is

A good official is rare to see in a century."

In fact, everyone knows what this benevolent government is all about.

Li Wensheng coughed, waved his hands and said: "Whether he is a good official or not, that doesn't matter. I just didn't expect that Li Yi was so powerful. He could defeat the gangsters with only two hundred local warriors. It's really unimaginable.

"

Master Wang smiled and said: "As the prince said, this Li Yi is really powerful. Baiyangdian thieves have been causing trouble for many years, and the officers and soldiers have repeatedly campaigned to suppress them, but to no avail. I didn't expect that this Li Yi could achieve this feat with a little country bravery.

.This person should not be underestimated.”

Li Wensheng nodded and said: "Even so, he is only a young man. Master, don't think so highly of him. You must know that he may be young, but not old."

In my opinion, this brave camp is different. I heard that these brave men are all from the northwest. They must be strong-blooded and dare to charge and kill. If the officers and soldiers of the guard station could be like them, I am afraid that the Baiyangdian thieves would have been eliminated long ago.

Okay. It seems that we need to ask Xu Baihu about Yongying."

During the Ming Dynasty, the folk customs were still relatively tough, and chivalrous acts of righteousness were often recited among the people. However, officials did not like personal bravery. They believed that these common men often used force to violate the ban and were very harmful to the security of the area under their jurisdiction, so they were very disgusted.

This is why Li Yi made such great achievements, but Li Wensheng still deliberately ignored them.

Master Wang frowned and had to change his angle and said: "Master Fu, many of the Baoding tycoons are against you, and even the commanders of the guards are entangled with them, so that you have been unable to show your strength. Master Fu is still very kind to you.

, take this Li Yi for your own use? In this case, Yongying can also obey the orders, isn't it better than asking Commander Zhang or General Cao of the guard station from time to time? "

Commander Zhang's real name is Zhang Zhide, and he is the commander of the Baoding Prefecture Guards. He is a hereditary commander who has risen through the ranks, that is, the second generation of officials. He is a person of influence, greedy for money and lust, and often hangs out with the wealthy gentry of Baoding, and Li Wensheng.

The prefect really didn't deal with it very well.

General Cao's real name is Cao Minglei, and he now holds the position of General Soldier, guarding Baoding and guarding the capital. He is also a second-generation official, and his ancestors were the founding heroes of the country. Although he was of distinguished origin, he was brave and resourceful and had many military exploits.

However, the Ming Dynasty favored literature over martial arts, so it was unwilling to have much interaction with civil servants, and did not have a clear relationship with Li Wensheng. Of course, he also ignored the Baoding officials and gentry.

One of the two people had already taken refuge with the local gentry in Baoding, and the other had no friendship with Li Wensheng, so Li Wensheng had no power to take action except for the government officials.

This brave battalion can repel the Baiyangdian bandits, so its force is certainly not weak, and it is quite good to hold it in hand.

Thinking of this, Li Wensheng smiled and said: "Master Wang and I have thought of something. You can tell me to go down and have the palace transport another hundred stones of grain to Anxin, and let Li Yi come by the way."

After saying that, he turned around and left with his hands behind his back.

Master Wang watched him leave, but he looked embarrassed. He asked the governor to show him a great favor, but he didn't expect that the great favor was one hundred stones of food. How could he win people's hearts if he was so stingy?

Just when the Anxin War caused the situation in Baoding to change, early the next morning, Li Yi organized a cavalry team and led Yongying to transport the corpses of the thieves to Baoding to receive the reward.

After Wanli, the society in the Ming Dynasty was in turmoil, and thieves swarmed in, seriously threatening the safety of the people.

Later, the imperial court issued an order that if a thief was killed, the thief's body could be taken to the government offices in various places to collect the reward. This was to encourage the people to kill the thief voluntarily.

During the Anxin Rebellion, as many as three hundred thieves were killed. Of course, Li Yi would not waste the reward in vain, so he came to collect the reward early in the morning with the corpses of the thieves.

This time Li Yi was followed by Wang Jin's Second Company. More than eighty young and brave men were divided into two columns and followed behind the carriage. They had swords hanging on their waists and spears in their hands. They looked very straight.

His power attracted the attention of passers-by on the official road.

Some brave people came closer to watch, and saw at a glance that the cover of the carriage was stained with blood. The wind blew open a corner, revealing the corpse underneath. They were so frightened that they fled back to the crowd in pee.

After these people spread the news, the onlookers immediately knew that these brave young men were Anxin Xiangyong, who were transporting the corpses of thieves into the city to receive rewards.

Usually I only hear about which towns the thieves plundered and who they killed, and where have I seen the thieves lying dead. This time I saw more than ten carriages carrying the corpses of thieves, at least one or two hundred people, and the common people on the roadside

Everything is not peaceful anymore.

They gathered around in groups and pointed, and some even rushed to call friends to witness the rare miracle. The entire official road was noisy and lively, like a market.

When Wang Jin came back from riding a horse, he was stunned when he saw this scene. When he came to Li Yi, he said: "Batalion Commander, why are there so many people watching?"

Li Yi sat upright on the horse and said, "It's a little matter. Have you met the Master? What did he say?"

Wang Jin said: "I didn't see the Fu Zun. I only saw a master named Wang. He told me that the Fu Zun would personally come to the city gate to greet us. He hoped that we would set up a battle array and make the scene more lively. I don't know what they wanted to do.

"

Li Yi looked at Wang Jin's puzzled look and said with a smile: "What else can I want to do? I just want to earn prestige. That's fine. Those officials like to save face. Let's make them prosperous and reward them a lot when the time comes."

."

Wang Jin responded with a smile.

He doesn't care what these officials and gentry have planned. Anyway, with a capable person like Li Yi to deal with everything, he will definitely not suffer any loss.

But seeing Li Yi confident and strategizing, Wang Jin also thought to himself, it would be great if he could do the same.

Li Yi and the others walked for two hours and finally arrived at Baoding County.

Before they even got close, they saw the city gate was bustling with activity, and the roads were crowded with people coming to watch the excitement. The officials and gentry also surrounded Magistrate Li and stood in front of the city gate, apparently waiting for them.

The other party may have also seen them. Two strings of bright red firecrackers were lit by someone, and the deafening sound of firecrackers and thunderbolts made the whole scene even more lively.

Li Yi led the team to drive slowly to the gate of the city, and at a glance he saw Magistrate Li wearing the official uniform of Yunyan Buzi.

He raised his hand to signal the team to stop, and all the brave men following behind him stopped and stood in awe, their eyes fixed, like pines and cypresses.
