Lin Yanzi ordered Captain Xu to lead people to go on an errand, and Shen Wei also sent a useful and calm Su Wei to lead a group of people to go out together.

As soon as these people left, Xie Jing'an immediately felt that the air around him was much fresher. He took two deep breaths to calm his mind, and was about to turn around and go back home, when out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the cotton glove on Lin Yan's hand that somehow disappeared. With his bare hands outside, his hands were bruised due to the cold weather. Xie Jingan saw a few small cuts on the top, the exposed flesh was bright red, and the blood was dried up before he had time to wipe it off. In the hand, it is a bit horrible to see.

Xie Jingan didn't feel it when he didn't see it before, but now he frowned when he saw it, and said a little unhappy: "What's wrong with General Lin's hands? Did the king ask you to put on the anti-bacterial mask before going out with the king?" Han's clothes? How come the gloves are missing, but I accidentally dropped them on the road?"

The gloves made by Lin Wan are not comparable to later generations. Although they are roughly the same in shape, they are thick and fat. It is fine to wear them normally, but they are extremely obstructive when you are busy with work, especially the work of moving resistance. Xie Jingan only thought that he was too obstructive Put it anywhere, or gave it to a subordinate who didn't have gloves, but Lin Yan shook his head, looked at the affected people who were queuing up to receive the porridge with some pity, and said: "Return to Your Highness, In the end, I rescued a child who was only a few years old. After seeing him shivering from the cold, and his hands were covered with frostbite, I took off the gloves and put them on for the child. In the end, I have martial arts, even if the clothes are thin, it doesn’t matter. Those gloves have survived the winter safely, Your Highness need not worry."

The past is the past, can this year be the same as before?The snow that fell in the previous winter was not as thick as the snow that fell this winter, and even if he had martial arts, so what?I've never seen someone who doesn't take his body seriously.

Xie Jing'an almost made Lin Yan stare at him angrily at these words, but in the end he kept his face in check and held back a slightly dissatisfied look at him, then took off the gloves he was wearing and threw them into his arms, He said forcefully: "Dai, since you are doing business under this king, you must bear in mind this king's taboos. This king hates you people who don't treat themselves as human beings just because you have martial arts. What's the matter? Are you still an ordinary person? Could it be possible to have one more nose and two eyes than someone who doesn't know martial arts? Forget it this time. Turning in front of this king is an eyesore."

Lin Yan didn't expect Xie Jingan to be reprimanded by just an extremely common thing, and he couldn't help being stunned by the scolding, and then he reacted and hurriedly put the gloves on his own hands.

It stands to reason that Xie Jingan reprimanded him in such an angry tone that he should be terrified, but facing Xie Jingan's heartbroken appearance, Lin Yan was not panicked but couldn't help laughing. Fortunately, he has always been calm and good at controlling his emotions , so he couldn't show the slightest smile, but Shen Wei on the side didn't have such good concentration. Despite repeated patience, he couldn't help but slightly raised the corners of his lips, and there was a smile in his eyes, and his expression was moved.

Fortunately, Xie Jingan reprimanded them and didn't pay attention to them deliberately. He only watched Lin Yan put on his gloves and put his temper away. He told the patrolling guards who stayed on duty and told them to watch out and don't make any trouble. He went straight out the door, got on his horse and went to the palace.

It looked like a mess outside, but the palace was still organized by Director Qin, but there were fewer servants coming and going. In the past, people who saluted him could be seen from a distance every few steps, but now all the way When I walked back to the study, I didn't see many of them.

The servants brought by Director Qin to serve him were no longer the few he was used to seeing before. Under their service, Xie Jingan changed into homely clothes, while wiping his face with a handkerchief soaked in hot water to wake up God, while casually asking: "Why are these few new faces serving today, what about the previous ones? Where did you instruct me to go on an errand?"

Director Qin still had the same look of not changing his face before the collapse of Mount Tai, bowed slightly and said calmly: "Today is a special day, Liu Zhubo is short of a few capable manpower, so he sent someone to ask for help from the villain. There is no other way for people, not daring to miss His Highness's important matter, so they sent all the smart people in the mansion there."

He doesn't have many people under his command, which is indeed a problem. His current stall is not too big, but he is stretched. If he waits for a while to ferment the reputation of the new things he made, he will be very busy. It seems that it is time to find a way to recruit some talents.

Xie Jing'an responded casually, kept this matter in mind, and ordered Manager Qin to prepare a set of hard dishes to satisfy the hunger in the dining room. He didn't wear a cloak, and just walked through the corridor with his arms sleeved. study.

In the study, Lin Yan moved faster than him. He had already changed his clothes, washed and sat waiting for him. When he saw him coming in, he was about to get up and salute, but Xie Jingan stretched out his hand first and pressed him down on the chair, and said with a smile: "Now there are only you and me in the study, so you don't have to stick to this common etiquette. Besides, you just came back from suppressing the bandits and have been busy working with the king for such a day. If you think about it, you are already tired. You should sit down and wait for your company." After I finish my dinner, I will go back to rest earlier, and I will come to see me again tomorrow."

Lin Yan was indeed as tired as Xie Jingan said, and his whole body was sore and weak. It was because of his strong character that he persisted until now. Now that Xie Jingan pressed him like this, Lin Yan no longer stiffened, but sat down calmly, and even felt The current atmosphere makes him quite relaxed. Sitting does not make people feel tired sitting straight up and looking at it like before. Instead, he leans slightly to one side, and the whole person looks a little gentle immediately, his face The evil spirit on his body didn't look so scary anymore.

Xie Jingan naturally sensed this change in him, and handed him a soft pillow to make him sit more comfortably, took a few mouthfuls of tea from the table to relieve his thirst, and then suddenly remembered something, Asked him: "This morning I was in a hurry to get the medical officer to treat the wounds of some of your subordinates, but I didn't have time to ask you about your going north to suppress the bandits. Now I'm finally busy for seven or eight minutes, and I haven't prepared dinner yet in the dining room." Alright, then tell me what happened to Chensha Mountain, how did that group of thieves pull up such a large team, and what happened to the leader of the thieves who came to surrender earlier? Have you observed it? This way, can you see your character clearly? Is it worthy of being used by this king?"

Xie Jing'an has also pushed the talent shortage of his subordinates to a certain point now. If there were enough people for him to assign errands, he would not be in such a hurry to recruit that bandit leader. No matter what, he would have to observe for a year or so, but who Call him poor and nobody?Even though his money is loose now, there are still very few people who may use it. He insists that if he can get one, it is one. The ancients said that heroes don’t ask where they come from. It is not impossible to recruit under his command.

Xie Jingan was making calculations in his mind, Lin Yan subconsciously sat up straight when he heard what he said, and was about to answer, but Xie Jingan suddenly interrupted him again, and said with a helpless smile: "There is no outsider in the study, General Lin doesn’t need to be so cautious, after a busy day, General Lin Xiexie also calls me Xiexie, don’t be so serious about answering official duties, just sit comfortably and answer, this king will not punish you for your crime of indecency.”

Xie Jing'an repeatedly emphasized that Lin Yan finally stopped being tense and relaxed, and leaned back on the soft pillow to make himself sit comfortably. Then Lin Yan said with a bit of seriousness: "Reporting to Your Highness, the matter of the bandit in Chensha Mountain is the end of the war." Before going up the mountain to suppress the bandits, I inquired about the surrounding area. Those bandits are indeed, as the leader said, they are all kinds of evil animals. Jiu Kong, in order to maintain the money they spend squandering, will send a few people to the town every few months to kidnap a few wealthy businessmen or young and beautiful female relatives. People tortured and tore up the votes, and the women stayed for them to humiliate. In the past ten years, they have killed hundreds of wealthy businessmen, and countless female relatives have been harmed. The last general led the brothers When they captured the stockade, they saw piles of bones thrown on the back mountain. Many civilians were locked up in prisons they dug privately. Torturing people for pleasure is nothing more than a group of animals in human skin."

Lin Yan obviously made those frenzied Shensha mountain bandits furious, his eyes were red, his chest heaved unceasingly, and he uttered a lot of obscenities uncontrollably. He took a sip from the teacup and then continued: " As for the bandit leader who came to recruit him, he is a useful person. In the end, although he bears blood and deep hatred, his eyes are not covered by hatred. Some conscience, at least only part of the money they ask for, does not drive people to a dead end, nor does it hurt their lives, and after collecting money, they will escort people to the nearest town along the way, fearing that what they say is not true He once sent Team Zhao to inquire with the local people, and confirmed what he said was true, and he even got the name of a righteous bandit in the local area."

Lin Yan also felt a little ridiculous when he said it, he laughed twice, then looked at Xie Jing'an again and said: "The general thought that this bandit leader can be used, but he can't be reused, please Your Highness, please think twice before assigning him an errand."

You really have to think twice before acting. To put it mildly, such a person is a righteous bandit with a conscience, but he has indeed violated the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty and used improper means to forcibly obtain money from the people. Those who can be sentenced to exile are only given special treatment during special periods. The punishment of exile is fine, and other punishments are still necessary.

Xie Jing'an thought for a moment, then slowly said: "How about this, I don't have to pursue his crimes, but I can't just expose them so easily, first let him take his men to report to Jiang Zheng's Minerals Department to dig coal Going to work to atone for his sins, while tempering his temper, and staying for a few months to see that he has truly repented and then it will not be too late to use him, what does General Lin think?"

Lin Yan rarely disapproved of Xie Jingan's decision, but this time he hesitated, looking at Xie Jingan hesitantly said: "Your Highness's decision will be very appropriate in the end, but there is one thing, Your Highness, don't forget, His Highness once promised If we let Wei Changshi preside over this matter and repay his innocence, this matter should also be included in the regulations."
