"Liu Gao, your crime has been exposed. Get dressed quickly and follow me to see Lord Control!"
Huang Xin looked at Liu Gao on the bed and said.
"My crime? What crime?"
Liu Gao was puzzled. He was still dreaming at night, dreaming that the damn Hua Rong was finally eliminated by him, and Qingfeng Town was under his control alone, and he could do whatever he wanted.
"What do you think this is? Three mountain bandits are coming at any time, what else do you have to say!"
Huang Xin took out a notice and said.
"This...this is not true, someone must have framed me!"
Liu Gao's expression changed drastically when he saw the notice. Although he had made a clever excuse to search for people's wealth, he had absolutely nothing to do with the Three Mountain Bandits.
"We will know if it is true or not when we meet the manager! Come on, get Liu Gao quickly!"
Seeing that Huang Xin couldn't afford it, he asked the sergeants on his left and right to catch him on the bed.
…
"Damn it, I want to see if the three bandits dare to come!"
Qin Ming gritted his teeth looking at the notice in his hand. The three bandits dared to be so arrogant even though they knew he was in Qingfeng Town. This was tantamount to humiliating him, the military commander of Qingzhou Prefecture, and not taking him seriously.
"Master Steward!"
Hua Rong walked in wearing a military uniform and saluted Qingming.
"Huazhi Village is here?"
Qin Ming looked at Hua Rong and nodded in reply.
"Have you read this? As the deputy magistrate of Qingfeng Town, you didn't know that Liu Gao colluded with the thieves? Do you know that this is a dereliction of duty?"
Qin Ming slapped the table and looked at Hua Rong and asked.
"General Manager Mingjian, I really don't know this. Liu Gao is a civil servant and a member of the Zhengzhi Village. He has always been at odds with me and rarely interacts with me. These are all secret and I have no way of knowing!"

Hua Rong explained that although he thought the notice was a bit strange, it was no longer important because it was causing a stir in the city and the news was spreading. Moreover, he had long disliked Liu Gao, a poor, hungry and jealous thief. Beast.
"If this is true, you can't escape the blame!"
Qin Ming did not care, and it was not up to him to judge. Liu Gao would eventually be taken to Qingzhou Prefecture to be tried by the prefect.
"The official knows!"
Hua Rong lowered his head and saluted, saying that no matter what happened, he would not be able to escape punishment.
"These three bandits have threatened to attack Qingfeng Town. What do you think?"
Qin Ming looked at Hua Rong and asked.
"Lord General Manager, these are just words of coaxing by the bandits from the Three Mountains. Qingfeng Village has always guarded the main roads of the Three Mountains. The bandits have never dared to come in the past few years. Now, the General Manager and the Superintendent have arrived with their tiger and wolf troops, and they have killed all the people in Qingfeng Mountain." Defeated, the thieves are all so timid that they huddle on the mountain and don’t dare to show their heads, so how can they dare to come down from the mountain?”
Hua Rong clasped his fists and said that he knew the thieves from the Three Mountains very well. They were all little thieves who couldn't stand up to the public, and they didn't dare to come to Qingfeng Town to kill them.
"Master Manager, bring Liu Gao here!"
Huang Xin arrived with people escorting Liu Gao.
"Liu Gao, you are a vicious thief. You colluded with the bandits and you dared to tell the truth and deceive me. Do you think you are guilty?"
Qin Ming slapped the table in front of him and shouted.
"Master Manager, I didn't collude with the thief. No, someone must have framed me... Hua Rong, it's you, you must have framed me. You know that I reported you to the Master Manager, so you teamed up with the thief to frame me!"
Liu Gao defended himself for a few words and suddenly noticed Hua Rong sitting next to him. He immediately pointed at Hua Rong and shouted, Hua Rong is the only one who can do all this.
"When you mentioned this last night, there were only the steward, me, you, and your aunt present. Who do you think leaked the news?"
Huang Xin looked at Liu Gao fiercely. Liu Gao's words dragged him and Qin Mingye into each other.
"Master Du Jian, the subordinates don't dare!"
Liu Gao knew he had made a mistake and quickly begged for mercy. If he offended Qin Ming and Huang Xin now, he would die without a burial place.
"Go to Qingzhou Mansion and talk to the magistrate about the rights and wrongs! Come on, take me under custody!"
Qin Ming was too lazy to talk nonsense with Liu Gao and directly asked the soldiers to take Liu Gao into prison.
"My lord, I am an unjust official!"
Liu Gao screamed loudly, but the soldiers didn't care and took Liu Gao away by force.
"You two quickly send soldiers out to find out the news and see what the three bandits are up to!"
Qin Ming looked at Huang Xin and Hua Rong again and said.
"Yes, Mr. Butler!"
Huang Xin and Hua Rong clasped their fists and prepared to go out.
"Report, sir, sir, the magistrate has an urgent order!"
A soldier ran in and handed a letter to Qin Ming.
Huang Xin and Hua Rong stopped and looked at Qin Ming. They could know the contents of the letter just by guessing. Qin Ming, the military commander of Qingzhou, could not leave Qingzhou Mansion easily. This must be an order urging Qin Ming to go back.
"The prefect asked me why I suddenly led my troops out of the city and didn't come back all night!"
Qin Ming looked at Huang Xin and Hua Rong and said.
"My benefactor, why not report the matter to the magistrate in detail? The Three Mountain Bandits are a serious problem in Qingzhou. The magistrate should be able to forgive my benefactor's sudden dispatch of troops."
Huang Xin said to Qin Ming.
"Go and do this!"
Qin Ming waved his hand and said, Huang Xin is better at handling these matters.
In the afternoon, rumors suddenly spread in Qingfeng Town, saying that Erlong Mountain in the west was going to come down to loot Qingfeng Town. The rumors instantly made the residents of Qingfeng Town anxious. The streets were deserted and the shops were closed.
"Gather your troops and follow me to Erlong Mountain!"
Qin Ming ordered angrily.
"My dear officer, this is probably a plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain. It would be safer to stay in Qingfeng Village."
Huang Xin advised.
"What are you afraid of? Those three thieves from Qingfeng Mountain don't dare to go down the mountain. Li Zhong from Taohua Mountain who just took over the mountain must not dare to come either. There is only Deng Long from Erlong Mountain. I will kill him right now!"
Qin Ming couldn't listen, so Hua Rong and Huang Xin had no choice but to take orders to gather the soldiers.
It didn't take long for five hundred soldiers and one hundred village soldiers to gather. Qin Ming took the lead, followed closely by Huang Xin and Hua Rong towards Erlong Mountain in the west.
In the cell in Qingfeng Village.
"Husband!"
Liu Gao's wife came to the cell.
"Madam, I was wronged, it was Hua Rong who harmed me!"
Liu Gao looked at his wife and said.
"Husband, I'm here to save you. Now Qin Ming, Huang Xin, and Hua Rong have all led their troops to Erlong Mountain. There are only two instructors and two hundred soldiers in Qingfeng Village!"
The woman spoke.
"Okay, okay, let's go to Qingzhou Mansion now, and first go to Magistrate Murong to file a complaint against them!"
Liu Gao was overjoyed after hearing this. As a civil servant, what he knew best was to confuse right and wrong. As long as he complained first and then spent money to smooth things over, the matter could turn around.
Liu Gao and the woman sneaked out of the dungeon. The guards were all Liu Gao's former soldiers. Liu Gao gave them some money and bribed them. At this time, there was chaos in Qingfeng Stronghold. These soldiers under Liu Gao usually They all lacked training. At this time, everyone scattered in the streets of Qingfeng Town was extremely nervous, fearing that the thieves would suddenly kill them.
"Master Zhizhai!"
Liu Gao was about to leave the town in a carriage, but he was recognized by two coaches.
"You two, I am going to Qingzhou to meet with Magistrate Murong, please get out of the way quickly."
Liu Gao looked at the famous coach and said.
"Master Zhizhai, the general manager has ordered that no one can leave the village."
One of the instructors said in a dilemma.
"I still know the stronghold. Qin Ming only controls the army and horses. He has no right to take my official position. Get out of here!"
Liu Gao pointed at the two instructors and yelled, these two people used to be his subordinates, and they had received a lot of benefits on weekdays. How dare they say no at this time, so they had to let them go.
