Zheng Ying followed Guan Zhuo and said, "Prefect Liang, there is no need to say thank you. This matter was not done by the two of us."

It was run by the grandfather and father of the two families who were officials in the capital.

In order to get this great gift, the Zheng family followed the official family and killed several good horses. They galloped all the way from Jinling Mansion to the capital to get the transit documents and the official documents of the three mansions encircling the Huai River water bandits.

Magistrate Liang said knowingly: "Yes, I would like to thank Mr. Shangguan Ge and Mr. Zheng for their great gift."

With this document about the border crossing of the government army and the official document about the encirclement of the water bandits from the three governments, the task of annihilating the water bandits was finally completed.

but……

Zheng Ying said with a smile: "Since neither Governor Gong nor Governor Tan looks down on this small contribution, we don't have to bother them. Governor Liang immediately sent a message to General Guo, asking him to bring half of the defenders of He'an Prefecture. That’s it, our two families will prepare the rest for Magistrate Liang.”

Magistrate Liang was overjoyed and reminded: "You two young masters want to use two nursing homes? Is this really okay?"

The guards of Da Chu were equivalent to the private soldiers of the previous dynasty. When Da Chu was first established, many private soldiers of the previous dynasty were killed. If the Zheng family and the officials use too many nursing homes, will it arouse the suspicion of the current emperor?

Shangguan Zhuo said with a smile: "Thank you, Magistrate Liang, for reminding me, but this time we are not using our two nursing homes, but the commanding officers of Jianghuai and Jiangnan."

Magistrate Liang was shocked: "The commander-in-chief of Jianghuai and Jiangnan are going to send troops to suppress the water bandits?!"

Shangguan Zhuo nodded: "Well, the commanders of the two places will each send three hundred troops, plus half of the garrison of He'an Prefecture, and a hundred guards from our two families, to encircle the water bandits, it is settled."

My grandfather was a pavilion elder and had the authority to order the commanders and commissions of each state to send troops to suppress bandits. However, the number of troops sent was limited. The commanders and commissions of each state could only send out a maximum of 500 troops. If more than 500 troops were sent, the commander would have to go to heaven to hear.

My grandfather was a prudent person and knew how much the Holy Emperor valued military power. Therefore, when he received the letter from the Shangguan family and the copied evidence of the water bandits, he immediately handed over the information to the Holy Emperor. Both places commanded the envoys to send troops to suppress the bandits, which was approved by the Holy Father and has passed the road of enlightenment.

The Holy Emperor didn't care about such a trivial matter of sending only three hundred troops, and readily approved it.

However, they had to act quickly this time, and they had to make a quick decision. Otherwise, if the Ruyang Marquis Mansion got the news, they would definitely try their best to clean their own house. Then when the accounts were settled, they would not be so clean.

Magistrate Liang was overjoyed that the matter that he had been worried about for several days had been solved. He was also in the mood to look at other people. He asked, standing behind Zheng Ying and Guan Zhuo, a young man with the appearance of a bamboo orchid asked: "Are you a descendant of the Gu family? "

Gu Jinan took a few steps forward, bowed to Magistrate Liang and saluted: "Jin'an, who is born in the late Gu family, pays homage to the Magistrate."

Magistrate Liang smiled and said: "There is no need to be polite, I want to thank you. You have helped me twice."

The last time it was about removing half of Dachu's territory, this time he came forward to ask the Zheng family and the Shangguan family to help suppress the bandits, both of which were good things that could benefit him and make great achievements.

Gu Jinan showed the fear that a young man should have when he heard this, and said: "The adults are ridiculous, Wansheng doesn't dare to take the credit... Wansheng just made an opinion, it's the adults who really do the work, Wansheng doesn't dare to take the credit."

After saying this, he bowed his head to Magistrate Liang again.

Magistrate Liang was very satisfied with Gu Jinan's humility, courtesy and lack of greed for merit. He nodded and said: "In that case, I won't say any more unnecessary words. Let's have a drink and have a good time when you are singing in the wild."

The words "we" are used very cleverly, making it clear that Magistrate Liang already regards Gu Jinan as one of his own.

Gu Jinan smiled brightly and bowed to Magistrate Liang again.

Magistrate Liang didn't stay on the boat for long. After talking to Zheng Ying and Shangguan Zhuo for a while, he took Master Wu off the boat and transferred to a small boat to leave in a hurry.

After returning to the inn, he immediately called his trusted guards and asked the guards to deliver the transit documents to General Guo, and then deliver the letters to Ding Tongzhi and Magistrate Xu.

The guard knew the importance of this transit document and kept it close to him. He was even more cautious when crossing the Huaihe River, for fear that a group of water bandits would appear and kill him and take the transit document away.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly. After the escort crossed the Huai River, they rode fast horses and delivered the transit documents to General Guo late that night.

General Guo had long wanted to wipe out the water bandits. After receiving the border crossing documents, he immediately gave an order to Vice General Lan. Half of the city defenders and a group of Tianfu County government officials set out immediately. The march was very fast and they arrived at Linhe Prefecture at dawn the next day. Outside the city gate, the soldiers guarding the city gate were so frightened that they thought Da Chu was in trouble again and had come to Linhe Mansion.

Lieutenant General Lan first announced his home address, then took out the transit documents and showed them to the city gate guard. He quickly put them away and said, "Open the city gate wide and let us in."

The city gate guard had the title of general, but his position was not high. Seeing so many soldiers passing through Linhe Mansion, he felt very frightened. He said with a smile: "General, Lieutenant General, it is a big deal for the soldiers of the government to use this road to cross the border. I have to report it to the Fucheng Yamen, otherwise I won’t dare to make random decisions.”

With a bang, Lieutenant General Lan slapped the city gate guard directly: "Open your dog eyes and see clearly. This is a transit document from the capital. It is stamped with the seal of the capital's cabinet and has the approval of the Holy Emperor. You Linhe Mansion The government office is so arrogant that even the cabinet and the emperor dare not look down upon it, you nine tribes are tired of living!"

The city gate guard was so frightened that he knelt down: "...The general will not dare!"

The guards behind him also knelt in a row, all shaking like chaff.

General Guo immediately said: "Open the door."

"Yes, yes, yes." The city gate guard and the guards hurriedly stood up and opened the gate of Linhe Mansion to let General Guo and others pass through.

Before General Guo left, he pointed at the city gate guard and said, "Tell Gong that if he doesn't want his own clan to be in danger, he shouldn't tip off the water bandits."

thump--

The city gate guard was so frightened that he knelt down again... What did General Guo mean by this? Could it be Governor Gong? Hey, this day is going to break!

After General Guo and the others left, the city gate guard took a cup of tea before he had the strength to report to Magistrate Gong.

But in recent years, Magistrate Gong has become more and more interested because he has climbed up to Ruyang Marquis Mansion, and Magistrate Tan has told him that after he returns to the capital, he can help him run an official career and win the position of Magistrate of Jinling Prefecture. He became arrogant. When he heard that the city gate guard wanted to see him, he said disgustedly: "Is the leader of the city gate guard worthy of my meeting? Let him keep his words and don't disturb my breakfast."

He was currently looking forward to his new Aunt Yue. He hadn't kissed her enough yet, so why was he willing to meet a vulgar man guarding the city gate so early in the morning.

"Yes." The steward who came to report immediately left and told the city gate guard what Magistrate Gong had said.

But after hearing the words of the city gate guard, he was so frightened that he rushed back to Jiaoyue Garden: "My lord, my lord is not good!"

Magistrate Gong was enjoying being fed breakfast by Aunt Yue. When he heard this, he said angrily: "What do you mean? I am very kind."

The steward was about to cry: "Sir, General Guo from He'an Prefecture took the transit documents from the capital and took a large group of military officers to cross the border from our Linhe Prefecture. Before leaving, he asked the city gate guard to leave a message for you. If you don’t want the nine tribes to be in danger, don’t tip off the water bandits!”

"What!" Magistrate Gong stood up in fright, then plopped down on the ground: "It's over, it's over... This time it's really going to end."

Now that He'an Mansion has obtained the transit documents from the capital, Guo also left him this sentence... Not only is he going to die this time, but also the Ruyang Marquis Mansion in the capital is going to die.
