"Are you from Xiping Village?"
The bandit was stunned for a moment, then smiled apologetically and said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"It's like a flood has washed away the Dragon King Temple, and one family doesn't recognize the other."
"Who is with your family?"
The visitor frowned and said, "Besides, Mu Jianzhang is not really a member of Xiping Village yet. He is undergoing a test."
"Only when he successfully passes it can he be considered a member of Xiping Village. Right now he can only be considered a half."
"We can count as half."
The bandit added: "I am He Shanhu, the leader of Shanhu Village. He has admired Xiping Village for a long time and is planning to seek refuge there, but he has no way out."
"Brother, can you introduce me to someone?"
"Can."
Feng Lin also knew that this was the right time for him to hire someone.
Regardless of whether they are bandits, officials, or civilians, as long as they go to Xiping Village, my husband will always accept them.
As for what kind of work to arrange, Mr. also has his own considerations.
For example, murderers and bullies who do all kinds of evil will be sent to the coal mines by their husbands, or sent to study gunpowder.
It's all extremely dangerous work anyway.
I don’t feel bad even if I die.
If you perform meritorious service, you may become Mr.'s confidant and be entrusted with important tasks.
If you are a good citizen, you can work, join a bodyguard agency, enlist in the army, etc.
Anyway, Xiping Village is short of people.
Feng Lin was also willing to be a favor.
"Can you give me a token?"
He Shanhu asked again.
"No token."
Feng Lin frowned, "I can't write either."
"You go to Xiping Village and tell me my name directly. My name is Feng Lin. Someone will arrange it for you."
"Okay, okay, thank you."
He Shanhu hugged his fists and was about to leave with the other two people.
"Wait, wait a minute."
Hu Yunyue confirmed that there was no danger, got off the carriage, and stopped him: "Brother Feng, ask them to let my father and Uncle Li go."
Afraid that Feng Lin would not know who Uncle Li was, Hu Yunyue added: "Uncle Li's name is Li Shou, and he is from Xiping Village."
"He has already discussed with my father. He plans to take my father to Xiping Village after finishing this work. He is now half of Xiping Village. The two of them ran in another direction. You let these bandits Don’t go after them.”
"Don't worry, I will lead people to retreat right now."
He Shanhu said hurriedly: "I promise not to hurt the two of them at all."
"They have all been rescued, you don't have to worry."
Feng Lin said with a smile.
In order to protect Mu Jianzhang, Zhao Ping sent a bodyguard team.
There are five people in total, and Feng Lin is the captain.
He recognized Li Shou, so naturally he couldn't ignore him.
People have already been arranged to intercept the bandits there.
It was impossible to defeat the bandits, but there was no problem in rescuing Li Shou and Hu Yongfu.
"That's good."
Hu Yunyue breathed a sigh of relief and said gratefully: "Thank you, Brother Feng, for saving my father."
"You don't have to be so polite if you're one of us."
Feng Lin waved his hand and said.
Seeing that he had nothing to do here, He Shanhu ran away in despair.
I can't escape.
The escorts in Xiping Village are notoriously ruthless.
Their Shanhu Village is located in a remote area of Xuzhou, bordering Yinan County in Qingzhou.
If you don't see it, the bandits over there were directly attacked by the bodyguards. They didn't have any room to react. They didn't even have to fight, so they were all wiped out.
Some people who went out to do errands "survived the disaster."
But they all had lingering fears.
He hid quietly.
Among them, a small wave of bandits hid in their Shanhu Village.
The escorts in Xiping Village were so impressed.
As the owner of the village and the leader of the bandits, He Shanhu naturally didn't believe it.
He even sneaked into Donghai County quietly with someone, intending to avenge his "comrades".
However, what he saw was that the escorts from Xiping Village wiped out all the bandits in Donghai County except Linhai County.
The last battle was in Yishui Village in Yibei County.
Without a single soldier, more than a thousand bandits were wiped out.
He Shanhu looked back at the hundreds of bandits he led. He didn't even have the courage to step forward, let alone take revenge.
Worried that his whereabouts would be exposed and surrounded by the bodyguards from Xiping Village, he had no choice but to flee back to Shanhu Village without stopping.
At the same time, they also secretly sent people to inquire about the movements of the escorts, lest they attack Shanhu Village without knowing it.
Since that day, He Shanhu has been on tenterhooks all day long.
Fortunately, the news from his subordinates was that not all the bandits were beheaded, but were handed over to the county governor for investigation.
Only those who commit heinous crimes will be beheaded.
Those with lighter crimes were sent to work in Xiping Village.
Not only can he provide for three meals a day, but he also gives him nearly a hundred copper coins every month.
If you perform well, you can be reinstated.
Many bandits praised Xiping Village as a paradise on earth, and their lives were extremely comfortable. Even their faces, which were originally pretty, had regained some rosiness.
Even people have gained a little weight.
He Shanhu looked at the savings in his village and found that he could only sustain them for about half a year.
Money is even more pitiful.
If you want to go to Jiaofangsi for a night of fun, you have to worry about being captured alive by the officials.
Then He Shanhu thought of seeking refuge in Xiping Village.
As for the idea of being an enemy of Xiping Village and avenging his "comrades", He Shanhu had long forgotten it.
Anyway, he hasn't done anything particularly outrageous.
At most, they just blocked the road, robbed some money and food, collected some housing expenses, etc., and never really killed anyone.
You took the initiative to seek refuge in Xiping Village again, so you shouldn't be turned over to the government, right?
He Shanhu made up his mind and kept looking for a way out.
This was also the key to why Feng Lin retreated without a fight when he encountered him today.
Seeing the bandits just leaving, Mu Jianzhang didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
what's the situation?
No more robbery?
Hearing the word "Xiping Village", do even the bandits want to change their ways?
If I had known that the name of Xiping Village was so useful, I would not have reported my identity as the Crown Prince and Grand Tutor.
I don’t know if this is considered a violation?
Can Zheng Tu and the others still keep their heads?
Mu Jianzhang asked the doubts in his heart.
Feng Lin smiled and shook his head, "Sir, I've already known that this kind of situation would happen, and I won't argue with you."
"In a critical moment of life and death, I allow you to use your identity as the Crown Prince and Grand Tutor to save your life."
"But you can't use that status to sell soap."
"Okay, don't waste any more time and complete the task assigned to you by sir."
"It's time for me to withdraw."
After saying these words, Feng Lin turned his horse's head and left.
"Xiaodie, Xiaodie, what's wrong with you?"
It was only then that Hu Yunyue remembered his maid and hurriedly rushed over to shake her.
"Don't shake."
Mu Jianzhang reminded: "She was knocked unconscious just now. She was shaking badly and could easily cause other injuries."
"Pinch her vagina."
"Where is the philtrum?"
Hu Yunyue asked eagerly.
"Let me do it."
Mu Jianzhang stepped forward and pinched Xiaodie's vagina.
After a while, Xiaodie woke up.
"Wake up, actually wake up."
Hu Yunyue said in surprise: "Master Mu, you are so knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and you actually know medical skills."
"What kind of medical skills?"
Mu Jianzhang smiled bitterly and said, "These are just common sense."
Of course, he didn't say that a long-term illness can lead to a cure.
In the capital, he was a wealthy young man no matter what. He often got into fights with others and often knocked people unconscious.
It was often the imperial doctor who took action and pinched people to treat those who fainted.
Over time, Mu Jianzhang also became good at it.
"I am a girl from a wealthy family in Yinan County. I have read some books and know some words, but I have never heard of this common sense."
Hu Yunyue complimented:
"Master Mu is too humble."
"Anyway, you saved both of our lives today."
"There is no way to repay the kindness of saving a life..."
"Could it be that you want to pledge yourself to me?"
Before she could finish speaking, Mu Jianzhang continued casually.
I didn't mean to tease Hu Yunyue, it was just a habit.
In the capital, he often talked like this when he drank wine, ate meat and visited brothels with his brothers.
When I heard that sentence, I couldn't stop it for a moment.
"If the young master does not dislike him, the little girl should serve him."
Hu Yunyue said in a voice as thin as a mosquito.
His face was so embarrassed that he lowered his head, not daring to look at Mu Jianzhang.
"ah?"
Mu Jianzhang was stunned, not expecting that the other party actually agreed.
This...he hasn't had enough fun yet.
The young master of a dignified prince and tutor wanted power and money, and there were a lot of beauties in the capital who threw themselves into his arms.
How could you hang yourself on a tree here?
"This... I just said it casually, I shouldn't take it seriously..."
Just as Mu Jianzhang was about to change his mind, he heard Hu Yunyue say: "Is it possible that the young master dislikes the Nu family?"
"Too."
"Young Master is the high-ranking young master of the Crown Prince and Tutor's family, and the Nu family is just a businessman's daughter, so they are not worthy of Young Master at all."
"But the slave family is also a woman, and she also knows how to be honest."
"Just now in the carriage, the slave's body has been killed by the young master... The slave's only choice is to die."
With that said, Hu Yunyue bumped into the carriage.
"No, miss, you absolutely must not."
Xiaodie just opened her eyes and before she could figure out what was going on, she saw that her young lady was seeking death.
Scared out of my wits.
Not knowing where he got the strength, he jumped up and tried to stop Hu Yunyue.
Mu Jianzhang was faster than her. He grabbed Hu Yunyue's arm and pulled it hard.
Hu Yunyue staggered and fell straight into his arms.
His face became even redder with embarrassment.
He said angrily: "Since the young master dislikes the Nu family, why do you want to stop the Nu family?"
"Even if I die, I don't want Young Master to tease me like this."
