Patrol's sweetheart baby
Chapter 54 Yan Er
The sound of horseshoes disappeared, the tense sounds of weapons fighting, and the angry growls of the master and servant...
Everything came to an abrupt end.
The elegant carriage and the pitch-black night, like a huge curtain, were suddenly torn apart in front of him.
Xie Jinbai seemed to be dragged out of a world.
He opened his eyes suddenly, the fundus of his eyes was red.
Tang Xiaotang was taken aback.
"Brother Xiaoyu? You, you, what's wrong with you? But did you have any nightmares?"
The picture in front of me is getting into focus bit by bit——
Dragon and phoenix candles, double happiness flower windows, close at hand, untouched by the past, the little boy's clear eyes filled with concern.
The disordered heartbeat gradually stabilized.
"I seem to be drunk..."
Xie Jinbai raised his hand to his forehead, pressed his thumb and ring finger on his temple, his voice hoarse.
"Well. Yes. You, you, just suddenly opened your eyes just now, and your eyes are still so red. It scared me. Yes, did you not sleep well in the past two days? Actually, I, Me too. As long as I think about the fact that I will form a bond with you today, I will be excited, sleep, and sleep. Are you thirsty? I will pour you some water..."
Tang Xiaotang stood up and was about to pour a glass of water on the table when the person on the bed held her hand.
Xie Jinbai put down his hands rubbing his temples, and stared at the young master with a pair of affectionate peach blossom eyes, "Xiao Guoer, lie down with me, okay?"
Tang Xiaotang's heart beat violently.
He bent his lips, "Okay."
Tang Xiaotang took off his shoes and lay down beside Xie Jinbai.
Xie Jinbai hugged him in his arms.
The tip of the nose is the sweet aroma of the little boy.
He hugged so hard.
It seemed that as soon as he let go, the little prince in front of him would disappear.
He could not go back to that carriage, and he would never return to this world.
His soul returned to the dead body, and everything in front of him was just a fantasy in his long years of being alone and wild.
This kind of cognition made Xie Jinbai, a person who is not afraid of Abi Hell and gods and spirits, couldn't help shivering, and his body became cold.
The force around his waist was too strong, and Tang Xiaotang ached.
But he still obediently let Xie Jinbai wrap him in his arms.
Especially, when he realized that the person holding him was trembling slightly, his heart ached even more.
What kind of dream did the lady have, she was so scared...
After a long time, he tentatively asked in a low voice, "Brother Xiaoyu, just now, but, did you have a nightmare?"
"Ah."
This "um" sounded "um" so weak.
Tang Xiaotang raised his hand, originally wanting his wife to hold him in his arms, so as to comfort him, but finally found that he couldn't wrap his arms around him, so he patted him on the back instead, "Don't, don't be afraid. Xiaoyu Brother next time, next time, if you have nightmares, nightmares, call out, call my name, I, I will fall from the sky like a fairy, and drive away all the bad guys and monsters for brother Xiaoyu!"
Xie Jinbai vaguely felt that the young master's words sounded familiar.
Thinking back carefully, I remembered that this passage was clearly a childhood, when a child had a nightmare, and he coaxed and then made up a set of deceptive rhetoric.
Xie Jinbai: "..."
The mood is a little complicated.
Tang Xiaotang was still patting Xie Jinbai's back, humming an ethereal and clear tune that Xie Jinbai had never heard before.
It is an exotic piece that Xie Jinbai has never heard before, and it is different from Dongqi's style.
"Is it Nansang song?"
"Well. My aunt sang it when she was a child. My aunt sang it very well. Me, I sang it well. Is it good?"
"It sounds good."
Xie Jinbai's words were not purely to make the young master happy.
Xiaoguo'er's voice is clean and clear, singing songs like Nansang, there is a kind of ethereal emptiness that Dongqi's songs don't have, like a holy sound remembered from the distant sky, which can cleanse and clarify people's hearts.
Nansan, Nansan...
The boy named Fengsheng next to Weimian in the previous dynasty asked Weimian to leave Dongqi with him.
After leaving Dongqi, the place to go, but Nansang?
Tang Xiaotang was overjoyed to be praised.
He continued to caress Xie Jinbai's back, humming the old country Nansang's tune softly.
When he just woke up, Xie Jinbai didn't try hard to recall what happened after they were assassinated by the killer in the carriage. Unfortunately, no matter what he thought, his mind was still blank.
It seemed that the memory of Qianchen was really just a nightmare, and when he woke up, he woke up, and there was no follow-up.
Xie Jinbai knew very clearly that the memory on the carriage must have happened for real.
It's just that I don't know why, but I don't have any memory...
Today at the wine table, he blocked a few glasses of wine for Xie Jinbai, and before leaving, he respected his father and brother, Xie Weichao and Xiao Yin, only drank more wine than Xie Jinbai.
Just now, he was only thinking about how to take good care of the drunk Xie Jinbai, but now that his mind is relaxed and the alcohol has surfaced, it is inevitable that he is also a little sleepy.He hummed, hummed, his voice gradually became quieter, but he didn't forget Xie Jinbai's nightmare, "Brother Xiaoyu is still sleepy, are you sleepy? If you are sleepy, just sleep, sleep. Don't be afraid this time." Yes, I will be by your side and protect you."
"okay."
Hearing the sleepiness in his words, Xie Jinbai kissed his temples lightly.
He asked Xie Jinbai if he was sleepy, and advised people to sleep when they wanted to, but after a while, he fell asleep first.
The sound of the little boy's even breathing came from next to his ears.
According to the memory in his dream, he gently stroked the little boy's lips with his fingertips.
-
"Brother Xiaoyu. You promised me that you would come to Chun'an to look for me. The pomegranates in the yard turned red and then fell, the acacia flowers bloomed and withered, the water level of the Chizhang River rose and fell, and the seedlings in the fields always grew. I can wait until the autumn wind turns them golden, but I can never wait for you. I have waited for you for more than twenty years, if there is another life, you can wait for me instead, okay?"
"it is good."
Xie Jinbai responded in a low voice.
—
"Knock Knock Knock-"
Xie Jinbai always sleeps lightly.
He woke up the moment the door knocked.
Xie Jinbai lowered his head to look at Tang Xiaotang in his arms, the young master fell asleep with thick eyelashes, and slept soundly.
Tang Xiaotang's little son, who was pillowed on his arm, was lightly placed on the bed.
After getting out of bed, Xie Jinbai went to open the door.
Outside the door, Xiao Zishu reported, "Master, I followed that Wang Butou and found him and his two accomplices."
"Go out and talk."
Worried about disturbing the young master who was still sleeping soundly inside, Xie Jinbai closed the door and came out, interrupting Xiao Zishu's unfinished sentence.
After walking a few steps away, Xie Jinbai stopped, "Where is he now?"
Xiao Zishu replied, "It's in the lobby."
"Well, I see."
Xie Jinbai nodded, and followed Xiao Zishu to the hall.
Tang Shimao, Tang Buqi father and son, Xie Weichao and Xiao Yinxie were all there.
Presumably, they also heard the news that Xiao Zishu had brought him back, so they came to the hall together.
In the hall, Catcher Wang and his other two companions were all tied up and thrown on the ground, each with a ball of sackcloth stuffed in their mouths, and they made an excited sound of "uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
The two companions of Wang Peng looked much younger than Wang Peng, and they should only be around 20 years old.
"Take the strips out of their mouths."
Xie Jinbai came to the hall and gave Xiao Zishu instructions.
Xiao Zishu then stepped forward and took out the cloth ball they were holding.
The mouth was stuffed with a cloth strip for a long time, and the muscles were sore. The three people were in so much pain that they couldn't speak for a while.
It was Wang Peng who was the first to react, "What is the meaning of Mr. Xie?"
Tang Shimao and Xie Weichao sat at the top.
Xie Jinbai then sat down beside Xiao Yin. He was condescending, looking at Wang Peng with a half-smile, "What does Catcher Wang think?"
Wang Peng was brought here blindfolded and knocked unconscious.
When he found that he was brought back here again, and his two companions were tied back together, Wang Peng realized that something bad might happen.
But in the end, there was still a glimmer of hope, and he said stubbornly, "The little one really doesn't know."
The corners of Xie Jinbai's lips twitched slightly, "Wang Butou has been a catcher for many years, so he must be quite experienced in interrogating prisoners. I don't know if Wang Butou wants to have a taste of it?"
Thinking of the methods he used on those prisoners in the past, Wang Peng couldn't help but yelled.
"Thank you... Mr. Xie, what do you want to know? Wang Butou doesn't say anything, you, you ask the little one, you ask the little one, it's the same! What Wang Butou knows, we all know too."
One of the three rushed to grab the white road.
The other person hurriedly echoed, "Yes, yes. No matter what Xie Daxiang wants or wants, little, little people must know that I don't say anything. Words, words are endless."
Wang Peng's vicious eyes then shot at the two companions who spoke.
Sure enough, his honest and dull appearance is just an appearance to deceive the world.
Xie Jinbai looked at the two of them, and said in a low voice, "Well, then you can talk about it."
One of them thought for a moment, and asked a little panicked and a little timid, "No, I don't know thank you, thank you sir, I think, what do you want to know?"
Xie Weichao frowned when he heard the submissiveness of the two men's speech, and asked in a rough voice, "The three of you are really the arresters of Fufeng County?"
"Yes. The younger ones are all servants in the Fufeng County Government. My name is Sun Qian, and he, his name is Zhao Ji, Wang, and Wang Butou. If you think about it, you must know it all."
Seeing that Xie Weichao was sitting at the top, the arrester named Sun Qian guessed that his status should be higher than that of their upcoming county magistrate Mr. Xie, so he didn't dare not answer, and answered very cautiously.
Xiao Yin asked whether what Wang Peng said was true or not, "The magistrate of Fufeng County really took the yamen servants up the mountain to suppress the bandits, but was detained by the bandits, and asked your yamen for a ransom?"
Zhao Ji let out a "bah", "It was the dog official who was corrupt and broke the law, arbitrarily arranging his son's marriage, and attracted the head of Fufeng Mountain, Yan Hu, to come down the mountain to rob. Originally, Yan Da's family only wanted to rob money, and he never thought about it." To hurt someone's life. It was the coward who was not afraid of death enough, so he even pulled the bride who hid beside him to block the knife. Master Yan couldn't see it, so he cut the coward with a knife In the end, they just robbed the money and released the bride and others.
That dog official, in the ten years since he took office, only knows how to scrape off the fat and fat of the people, and has never suppressed bandits once.The son was gone, but he went crazy immediately.Knowing that we are not Yan Huzhai's opponents, we still forced our brothers to go up the mountain.We went up the mountain, and before we reached the stockade, we were ambushed by the people in the stockade, but the dog official ran faster than anyone else!Heh, in the end, he was still captured by Master Yan! "
The narrations of Sun Qian and Zhao Ji undoubtedly confirmed everyone's previous speculation about the county magistrate Guo.
Such people who are corrupt and pervert the law, who are greedy for life and fear of death, are really dirty if they are chopped up by the bandit head and served with wine and food.
"It's nonsense! Since the county magistrate is innocent, why did the three of you approach my master and pass a false message, asking my master to help you rescue the county magistrate and the people in your office?"
Xiao Zishu pulled out the sword from his waist with a cold face, and it reached Zhao Ji's neck.
"We're not talking nonsense! Yes, it was Yan Da who said he wanted to give the new county magistrate one, one off! Therefore, he sent the honest-looking Wang Baotou to spread the word! The purpose is to deceive the new county magistrate up the mountain, In this way, the new county magistrate will definitely not dare to trouble him again in the future!"
Sun Qian rushed to answer.
"Sun Qian!"
Presumably, Sun Qian was not lying, because Wang Catcher, who had been silent since just now, bit his head and cheeks tightly, staring at Sun Qian and Zhao Ji as if he wanted to stare people out of a hole.
Wang Butou's reaction like this inevitably made people wonder if he was Yan Hu's lackey, otherwise why would Sun Qian frankly tell Yan Hu's plan, this Wang Butou would seem to eat people.
This Fufeng County is really rotten from top to bottom.
The county magistrate is corrupt and perverts the law, but the servants below him have such an ambiguous relationship with the Fufeng Mountain bandits!
Tang Shimao, Xie Weichao, Tang Buqi, and Xiao Yin all showed indignation when they heard this, but Xie Jinbai's expression remained unchanged, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
He just asked casually, "In this way, as long as my lord cooperates enough, that Yan Da master will not embarrass my lord?"
Then Zhao Ji hurriedly said, "Yes! Master Yan said it! As long as the newly appointed county magistrate listens enough..."
Probably felt that the word "obedient" was too insulting to a court official, so Zhao Ji was reckless, not really out of his mind, so he immediately changed the word, "As long as you cooperate enough, my lord, Yan Da will never embarrass you." For adults."
"Zhao Ji, shut up!"
Wang Peng obviously didn't believe that this young and promising new county magistrate, who was born in Taifu's mansion, would be like their predecessors in Fufeng County, and would be willing to be restrained by bandits for a little "filial piety".
Moreover, for some reason, he always felt that this Lord Xie was different from the previous magistrates of Fufeng County...
In order to prevent Zhao Ji from uttering unfavorable words to Yan Hu, Wang Peng sternly reprimanded him immediately.
Xie Jinbai ignored Wang Peng's scolding Zhao Ji's words, and he said politely to the three of them, "So, please tell the head of Yan Da, three arresters, that he will definitely come to Fufeng County in person when I arrive in Fufeng County." Go up the mountain to visit Yan Da's family."
After finishing speaking, he ordered Xiao Zishu to release the three of them.
When Xie Jinbai said this, let alone Sun Qian, Zhao Ji, Wang Peng and the other three were taken aback, even Tang Shimao and Xie Weichao were also taken aback.
So easy to let him go?
It's just that they believed that Xie Jinbai must have his reasons for doing this, so although they were surprised, no one objected.
The new county magistrate was so "knowledgeable", Sun Qian and Zhao Ji were overjoyed, but Wang Peng looked at the new county magistrate who was about to take office with a pair of sharp eyes.
Wang Peng couldn't think of any reason why the new county magistrate, as the proud son of Yingyang, would have a good relationship with Yan Hu, a bandit leader!
While Wang Peng was thinking, Xiao Zishu had already used the sword in his hand to break the rope in Wang Peng's hand.
After Xiao Zishu broke the rope for Wang Peng, he stood aside with folded arms, and Wang Peng himself untied the other two.
Wang Peng originally felt that the reason why Xie Jinbai let the three of them leave so easily was because he had the intention of taking advantage of him.
However, if Xie Jinbai intends to use them, shouldn't he do everything possible to treat them well at this time, so as to relax their vigilance?
Xiao Zishu's arrogant attitude made Wang Peng feel puzzled again.
Could it be that he guessed wrong?
What Master Xie said just now was not to lie to them?
He is really afraid of Yan Da, the head of the family, and is willing to be honest and cooperate with Yan Da, the head of the family after taking office?
After leaving the magistrate's mansion, Sun Qian and Zhao Ji looked like they had survived the catastrophe, but Wang Peng still had a sullen face and did not speak to the two of them.
That Sun Qian was more thoughtful than Zhao Ji, and he saw that Wang Peng might be angry with him and Zhao Ji, or he might not trust Mr. Xie at all, "Wang Catcher, I don't think you should think too much." Like our new county magistrate from Yingyang, who can’t carry things on his shoulders or hands, if he kills a chicken in front of him, he will faint in fear. After taking office, he just wants to keep his own place and I think it's quite normal to have a good relationship with Yan Dazhang."
"Isn't it? Catcher Wang, look at Mr. Xie, who is so thin-skinned and tender-skinned, more beautiful than a flower. What can he do? His kind of person is more life-saving than ours. But it is He was sent by the imperial court to this unfortunate place like ours, so he had no choice but to take up his post. Didn’t you listen to what the inn guy said? That Mr. Xie admitted it himself, saying that he was afraid of death, that’s why he stayed here in Chun’an, otherwise he would be a tortoise , should have arrived in Fufeng early."
"You two idiots! Then if Xie Jinbai is really an embroidered pillow, how could the three of you and I be found together by him and tied back together?"
"This...Wang Butou, what do you mean that Mr. Xie is deceiving us? But what is he trying to do?"
"How do I know! Don't ask me!"
Wang Butou roared angrily.
If he knew what Xie Jinbai was thinking, why bother him? !
Two idiots!
—
"I didn't expect that the plague of bandits in Fufeng County would be so serious. The bandits are colluding with the Yamen.
Just being the leader of a bandit in Fufeng Mountain, his power has infiltrated the county government, not to mention the power of other bandits.Look at those captors, when they mentioned the bandit leader, they spoke with admiration, but they showed contempt for the county magistrate.If the yamen's arrest is like this, how can other people be better?Xiao Wu, when you went to Fufeng County to take up your post this time, you really picked up a hot potato. "
Once the three of Wang Peng left, Xie Weichao spoke in a heavy tone.
He joined the army at the age of 16. Over the years, he has come and gone countless times. He heard Sun Qian and Zhao Ji mention the current situation of bandits in Fufeng County. Too dangerous.
What Xie Weichao didn't know was that Xie Jinbai asked the little emperor for this hot potato in Fufeng County.
In the seventh year of Xuanhe, with the help of Xie Jinbai and other civil officials, Emperor Zhaoyang, who was already in charge at that time, finally freed up his energy and was able to send troops to wipe out the Fufeng bandits.
Xie Jinbai was handpicked as an imperial envoy, and went to Fufeng to suppress the bandits together with the Minister of the Ministry of War.
Xie Jinbai learned from the experience of trusting local magistrates in Chun'an in the early years, and was extra cautious when he went to Fufeng to suppress the bandits.
Sure enough, the suppression of bandits was a great success.
The big and small bandit leaders in Fufeng Mountain died and surrendered, but a bandit leader named Yan Hu managed to escape.
Xie Jinbai also sent someone to track down Yan Hu's whereabouts, but they failed to find the other party's whereabouts.
Afterwards, he was ordered to return to Beijing and had to leave Fufeng County, and the matter of arresting Yan Hu was over.
Unexpectedly, Yan Hu fled from Fufeng, went to the border between Ruan Ling and Dongqi, gathered a group of desperadoes, and gradually became a small armed force.
For many years since then, they have been harassing the Muzhou border from time to time.
The elder brother Xie Weichao died for the country because he was hit by the hidden weapon of the opponent during the battle with Yan Hu.
Whether it's for the overall situation or personal grievances, Xie Jinbai can't keep Yan Hu.
Xie Jinbai couldn't tell his elder brother the cause and effect of the past, he said in a low voice, "Someone needs to do these things. If I don't go? Who should go? If everyone is afraid of Fufeng's dangers and evils, and avoids them, how can the people of Fufeng be blamed? How pitiful?"
Xie Jinbai stared at his elder brother, "For so many years, my elder brother has guarded the border of Muzhou and tried his best to prevent that Ruan Ling from invading. Huaiyu is not as brave as his elder brother, but he is willing to do his best to clear away the troubles of Fufeng bandits , for me to help the common people to restore the peace of the whole world."
Xie Jinbai's words not only made Xie Weichao's eyes reddened for such an iron-boned man, but also the eyes of other people in the hall were also slightly reddened.
But whoever has lofty ideals has never had a heroic dream of serving the country?
Having been stationed in Muzhou for more than [-] years, did Xie Weichao never think about home or Yingyang?
He thought, of course he thought more than anyone else!
In his dreams, he dreamed that the spring breeze would carry him back to Yingyang, back to his hometown of mountains and rivers.
But if he is transferred back to Yingyang, then who should leave his hometown and suffer from the border of the garrison?
If all the men and women in Dongqi hid in the prosperity of singing and dancing, who would protect their home and country?
Xie Weichao patted Brother Yao heavily on the shoulder, "Okay! Well said, you are worthy of being the son of the Xie family! Just now, the elder brother is narrow-minded!"
"Brother Huaiyu has family and country in his heart, Feng Ming really admires him!"
Xiao Yin cupped his hands in an admiring tone.
Tang Shimao and Tang Buqi, father and son, also had expressions on their faces.
"So, Brother Huaiyu let Wang Peng, Sun Qian, and Zhao Ji go, but he planned to use the three of them to find Yan Hu's lair and take him down in one fell swoop?"
Tang Shimao said with a serious face, "Although Fufeng is not under the jurisdiction of Chun'an, I have heard of Yan Hu's name once or twice. It is said that this person is different from the ordinary mountain bandits who only have the courage of ordinary men. In the early years, this person went to school for several years, so I know some words, and I have read a little bit about the art of war. Therefore, when the local army sent troops to suppress them, this person was good at using the art of war. He was extremely cunning and extremely difficult to deal with. If he wanted to borrow the local army and send troops to take it down in one fell swoop, he might have to think long-term. .”
"Exactly. Xiao Wu, don't be rash about this."
Xie Jinbai looked innocent, "Who said I'm going to borrow soldiers to go up the mountain to suppress bandits? I just married Weimian, newlyweds, and it's too late for a deep love. Why do you want to be so overwhelmed and suppress some bandits?"
After finishing speaking, he got up from his seat, "Weimian should wake up, I should go back to the room to accompany him. Father-in-law, two elder brothers, brother Fengming, excuse me."
Leaving gracefully.
Everyone: "???"
Who was the one who made a generous statement just now, saying, "I am willing to do my best to clear away the bandits in Fufeng and bring peace to the people of Fufeng"? ! !
—
Tang Xiaotang woke up from the pain in his leg.
He hadn't had a leg problem for a long time, and his back was sweating from the pain like the saw grinding his leg bones.
It was dark outside, and the light inside the house was dim.
Tang Xiaotang's hand touched under the pillow, and finally he touched the box of muscle-renewing ointment that he had put under the pillow before.
Tang Xiaotang breathed a sigh of relief as his temple hair was wet with sweat.
Enduring the pain, he took off his outer shirt and underwear, and opened the box of muscle-promoting ointment.
In order to facilitate the medicine, Tang Xiaotang had to lie on the bed.
"Squeak", someone pushed the door and entered.
Tang Xiaotang tightened her fingertips holding the porcelain box, "Small, Brother Xiaoyu?"
"it's me."
Xie Jinbai responded.
He stepped into the room and found that the room was a little dark, so he lit the lamp and turned the screen.
The author has something to say: Whoa!
I beg Heiye to give me a pair of big 3D eyes that can see everything clearly.

Xiaobai: Don’t even think about it.

感谢在2020-07-1500:22:11~2020-07-1608:37:44期间为我投出霸王票或灌溉营养液的小天使哦~
Thanks to the little angel who threw the mines: 3 Squidward Brothers;
Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
Everything came to an abrupt end.
The elegant carriage and the pitch-black night, like a huge curtain, were suddenly torn apart in front of him.
Xie Jinbai seemed to be dragged out of a world.
He opened his eyes suddenly, the fundus of his eyes was red.
Tang Xiaotang was taken aback.
"Brother Xiaoyu? You, you, what's wrong with you? But did you have any nightmares?"
The picture in front of me is getting into focus bit by bit——
Dragon and phoenix candles, double happiness flower windows, close at hand, untouched by the past, the little boy's clear eyes filled with concern.
The disordered heartbeat gradually stabilized.
"I seem to be drunk..."
Xie Jinbai raised his hand to his forehead, pressed his thumb and ring finger on his temple, his voice hoarse.
"Well. Yes. You, you, just suddenly opened your eyes just now, and your eyes are still so red. It scared me. Yes, did you not sleep well in the past two days? Actually, I, Me too. As long as I think about the fact that I will form a bond with you today, I will be excited, sleep, and sleep. Are you thirsty? I will pour you some water..."
Tang Xiaotang stood up and was about to pour a glass of water on the table when the person on the bed held her hand.
Xie Jinbai put down his hands rubbing his temples, and stared at the young master with a pair of affectionate peach blossom eyes, "Xiao Guoer, lie down with me, okay?"
Tang Xiaotang's heart beat violently.
He bent his lips, "Okay."
Tang Xiaotang took off his shoes and lay down beside Xie Jinbai.
Xie Jinbai hugged him in his arms.
The tip of the nose is the sweet aroma of the little boy.
He hugged so hard.
It seemed that as soon as he let go, the little prince in front of him would disappear.
He could not go back to that carriage, and he would never return to this world.
His soul returned to the dead body, and everything in front of him was just a fantasy in his long years of being alone and wild.
This kind of cognition made Xie Jinbai, a person who is not afraid of Abi Hell and gods and spirits, couldn't help shivering, and his body became cold.
The force around his waist was too strong, and Tang Xiaotang ached.
But he still obediently let Xie Jinbai wrap him in his arms.
Especially, when he realized that the person holding him was trembling slightly, his heart ached even more.
What kind of dream did the lady have, she was so scared...
After a long time, he tentatively asked in a low voice, "Brother Xiaoyu, just now, but, did you have a nightmare?"
"Ah."
This "um" sounded "um" so weak.
Tang Xiaotang raised his hand, originally wanting his wife to hold him in his arms, so as to comfort him, but finally found that he couldn't wrap his arms around him, so he patted him on the back instead, "Don't, don't be afraid. Xiaoyu Brother next time, next time, if you have nightmares, nightmares, call out, call my name, I, I will fall from the sky like a fairy, and drive away all the bad guys and monsters for brother Xiaoyu!"
Xie Jinbai vaguely felt that the young master's words sounded familiar.
Thinking back carefully, I remembered that this passage was clearly a childhood, when a child had a nightmare, and he coaxed and then made up a set of deceptive rhetoric.
Xie Jinbai: "..."
The mood is a little complicated.
Tang Xiaotang was still patting Xie Jinbai's back, humming an ethereal and clear tune that Xie Jinbai had never heard before.
It is an exotic piece that Xie Jinbai has never heard before, and it is different from Dongqi's style.
"Is it Nansang song?"
"Well. My aunt sang it when she was a child. My aunt sang it very well. Me, I sang it well. Is it good?"
"It sounds good."
Xie Jinbai's words were not purely to make the young master happy.
Xiaoguo'er's voice is clean and clear, singing songs like Nansang, there is a kind of ethereal emptiness that Dongqi's songs don't have, like a holy sound remembered from the distant sky, which can cleanse and clarify people's hearts.
Nansan, Nansan...
The boy named Fengsheng next to Weimian in the previous dynasty asked Weimian to leave Dongqi with him.
After leaving Dongqi, the place to go, but Nansang?
Tang Xiaotang was overjoyed to be praised.
He continued to caress Xie Jinbai's back, humming the old country Nansang's tune softly.
When he just woke up, Xie Jinbai didn't try hard to recall what happened after they were assassinated by the killer in the carriage. Unfortunately, no matter what he thought, his mind was still blank.
It seemed that the memory of Qianchen was really just a nightmare, and when he woke up, he woke up, and there was no follow-up.
Xie Jinbai knew very clearly that the memory on the carriage must have happened for real.
It's just that I don't know why, but I don't have any memory...
Today at the wine table, he blocked a few glasses of wine for Xie Jinbai, and before leaving, he respected his father and brother, Xie Weichao and Xiao Yin, only drank more wine than Xie Jinbai.
Just now, he was only thinking about how to take good care of the drunk Xie Jinbai, but now that his mind is relaxed and the alcohol has surfaced, it is inevitable that he is also a little sleepy.He hummed, hummed, his voice gradually became quieter, but he didn't forget Xie Jinbai's nightmare, "Brother Xiaoyu is still sleepy, are you sleepy? If you are sleepy, just sleep, sleep. Don't be afraid this time." Yes, I will be by your side and protect you."
"okay."
Hearing the sleepiness in his words, Xie Jinbai kissed his temples lightly.
He asked Xie Jinbai if he was sleepy, and advised people to sleep when they wanted to, but after a while, he fell asleep first.
The sound of the little boy's even breathing came from next to his ears.
According to the memory in his dream, he gently stroked the little boy's lips with his fingertips.
-
"Brother Xiaoyu. You promised me that you would come to Chun'an to look for me. The pomegranates in the yard turned red and then fell, the acacia flowers bloomed and withered, the water level of the Chizhang River rose and fell, and the seedlings in the fields always grew. I can wait until the autumn wind turns them golden, but I can never wait for you. I have waited for you for more than twenty years, if there is another life, you can wait for me instead, okay?"
"it is good."
Xie Jinbai responded in a low voice.
—
"Knock Knock Knock-"
Xie Jinbai always sleeps lightly.
He woke up the moment the door knocked.
Xie Jinbai lowered his head to look at Tang Xiaotang in his arms, the young master fell asleep with thick eyelashes, and slept soundly.
Tang Xiaotang's little son, who was pillowed on his arm, was lightly placed on the bed.
After getting out of bed, Xie Jinbai went to open the door.
Outside the door, Xiao Zishu reported, "Master, I followed that Wang Butou and found him and his two accomplices."
"Go out and talk."
Worried about disturbing the young master who was still sleeping soundly inside, Xie Jinbai closed the door and came out, interrupting Xiao Zishu's unfinished sentence.
After walking a few steps away, Xie Jinbai stopped, "Where is he now?"
Xiao Zishu replied, "It's in the lobby."
"Well, I see."
Xie Jinbai nodded, and followed Xiao Zishu to the hall.
Tang Shimao, Tang Buqi father and son, Xie Weichao and Xiao Yinxie were all there.
Presumably, they also heard the news that Xiao Zishu had brought him back, so they came to the hall together.
In the hall, Catcher Wang and his other two companions were all tied up and thrown on the ground, each with a ball of sackcloth stuffed in their mouths, and they made an excited sound of "uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
The two companions of Wang Peng looked much younger than Wang Peng, and they should only be around 20 years old.
"Take the strips out of their mouths."
Xie Jinbai came to the hall and gave Xiao Zishu instructions.
Xiao Zishu then stepped forward and took out the cloth ball they were holding.
The mouth was stuffed with a cloth strip for a long time, and the muscles were sore. The three people were in so much pain that they couldn't speak for a while.
It was Wang Peng who was the first to react, "What is the meaning of Mr. Xie?"
Tang Shimao and Xie Weichao sat at the top.
Xie Jinbai then sat down beside Xiao Yin. He was condescending, looking at Wang Peng with a half-smile, "What does Catcher Wang think?"
Wang Peng was brought here blindfolded and knocked unconscious.
When he found that he was brought back here again, and his two companions were tied back together, Wang Peng realized that something bad might happen.
But in the end, there was still a glimmer of hope, and he said stubbornly, "The little one really doesn't know."
The corners of Xie Jinbai's lips twitched slightly, "Wang Butou has been a catcher for many years, so he must be quite experienced in interrogating prisoners. I don't know if Wang Butou wants to have a taste of it?"
Thinking of the methods he used on those prisoners in the past, Wang Peng couldn't help but yelled.
"Thank you... Mr. Xie, what do you want to know? Wang Butou doesn't say anything, you, you ask the little one, you ask the little one, it's the same! What Wang Butou knows, we all know too."
One of the three rushed to grab the white road.
The other person hurriedly echoed, "Yes, yes. No matter what Xie Daxiang wants or wants, little, little people must know that I don't say anything. Words, words are endless."
Wang Peng's vicious eyes then shot at the two companions who spoke.
Sure enough, his honest and dull appearance is just an appearance to deceive the world.
Xie Jinbai looked at the two of them, and said in a low voice, "Well, then you can talk about it."
One of them thought for a moment, and asked a little panicked and a little timid, "No, I don't know thank you, thank you sir, I think, what do you want to know?"
Xie Weichao frowned when he heard the submissiveness of the two men's speech, and asked in a rough voice, "The three of you are really the arresters of Fufeng County?"
"Yes. The younger ones are all servants in the Fufeng County Government. My name is Sun Qian, and he, his name is Zhao Ji, Wang, and Wang Butou. If you think about it, you must know it all."
Seeing that Xie Weichao was sitting at the top, the arrester named Sun Qian guessed that his status should be higher than that of their upcoming county magistrate Mr. Xie, so he didn't dare not answer, and answered very cautiously.
Xiao Yin asked whether what Wang Peng said was true or not, "The magistrate of Fufeng County really took the yamen servants up the mountain to suppress the bandits, but was detained by the bandits, and asked your yamen for a ransom?"
Zhao Ji let out a "bah", "It was the dog official who was corrupt and broke the law, arbitrarily arranging his son's marriage, and attracted the head of Fufeng Mountain, Yan Hu, to come down the mountain to rob. Originally, Yan Da's family only wanted to rob money, and he never thought about it." To hurt someone's life. It was the coward who was not afraid of death enough, so he even pulled the bride who hid beside him to block the knife. Master Yan couldn't see it, so he cut the coward with a knife In the end, they just robbed the money and released the bride and others.
That dog official, in the ten years since he took office, only knows how to scrape off the fat and fat of the people, and has never suppressed bandits once.The son was gone, but he went crazy immediately.Knowing that we are not Yan Huzhai's opponents, we still forced our brothers to go up the mountain.We went up the mountain, and before we reached the stockade, we were ambushed by the people in the stockade, but the dog official ran faster than anyone else!Heh, in the end, he was still captured by Master Yan! "
The narrations of Sun Qian and Zhao Ji undoubtedly confirmed everyone's previous speculation about the county magistrate Guo.
Such people who are corrupt and pervert the law, who are greedy for life and fear of death, are really dirty if they are chopped up by the bandit head and served with wine and food.
"It's nonsense! Since the county magistrate is innocent, why did the three of you approach my master and pass a false message, asking my master to help you rescue the county magistrate and the people in your office?"
Xiao Zishu pulled out the sword from his waist with a cold face, and it reached Zhao Ji's neck.
"We're not talking nonsense! Yes, it was Yan Da who said he wanted to give the new county magistrate one, one off! Therefore, he sent the honest-looking Wang Baotou to spread the word! The purpose is to deceive the new county magistrate up the mountain, In this way, the new county magistrate will definitely not dare to trouble him again in the future!"
Sun Qian rushed to answer.
"Sun Qian!"
Presumably, Sun Qian was not lying, because Wang Catcher, who had been silent since just now, bit his head and cheeks tightly, staring at Sun Qian and Zhao Ji as if he wanted to stare people out of a hole.
Wang Butou's reaction like this inevitably made people wonder if he was Yan Hu's lackey, otherwise why would Sun Qian frankly tell Yan Hu's plan, this Wang Butou would seem to eat people.
This Fufeng County is really rotten from top to bottom.
The county magistrate is corrupt and perverts the law, but the servants below him have such an ambiguous relationship with the Fufeng Mountain bandits!
Tang Shimao, Xie Weichao, Tang Buqi, and Xiao Yin all showed indignation when they heard this, but Xie Jinbai's expression remained unchanged, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
He just asked casually, "In this way, as long as my lord cooperates enough, that Yan Da master will not embarrass my lord?"
Then Zhao Ji hurriedly said, "Yes! Master Yan said it! As long as the newly appointed county magistrate listens enough..."
Probably felt that the word "obedient" was too insulting to a court official, so Zhao Ji was reckless, not really out of his mind, so he immediately changed the word, "As long as you cooperate enough, my lord, Yan Da will never embarrass you." For adults."
"Zhao Ji, shut up!"
Wang Peng obviously didn't believe that this young and promising new county magistrate, who was born in Taifu's mansion, would be like their predecessors in Fufeng County, and would be willing to be restrained by bandits for a little "filial piety".
Moreover, for some reason, he always felt that this Lord Xie was different from the previous magistrates of Fufeng County...
In order to prevent Zhao Ji from uttering unfavorable words to Yan Hu, Wang Peng sternly reprimanded him immediately.
Xie Jinbai ignored Wang Peng's scolding Zhao Ji's words, and he said politely to the three of them, "So, please tell the head of Yan Da, three arresters, that he will definitely come to Fufeng County in person when I arrive in Fufeng County." Go up the mountain to visit Yan Da's family."
After finishing speaking, he ordered Xiao Zishu to release the three of them.
When Xie Jinbai said this, let alone Sun Qian, Zhao Ji, Wang Peng and the other three were taken aback, even Tang Shimao and Xie Weichao were also taken aback.
So easy to let him go?
It's just that they believed that Xie Jinbai must have his reasons for doing this, so although they were surprised, no one objected.
The new county magistrate was so "knowledgeable", Sun Qian and Zhao Ji were overjoyed, but Wang Peng looked at the new county magistrate who was about to take office with a pair of sharp eyes.
Wang Peng couldn't think of any reason why the new county magistrate, as the proud son of Yingyang, would have a good relationship with Yan Hu, a bandit leader!
While Wang Peng was thinking, Xiao Zishu had already used the sword in his hand to break the rope in Wang Peng's hand.
After Xiao Zishu broke the rope for Wang Peng, he stood aside with folded arms, and Wang Peng himself untied the other two.
Wang Peng originally felt that the reason why Xie Jinbai let the three of them leave so easily was because he had the intention of taking advantage of him.
However, if Xie Jinbai intends to use them, shouldn't he do everything possible to treat them well at this time, so as to relax their vigilance?
Xiao Zishu's arrogant attitude made Wang Peng feel puzzled again.
Could it be that he guessed wrong?
What Master Xie said just now was not to lie to them?
He is really afraid of Yan Da, the head of the family, and is willing to be honest and cooperate with Yan Da, the head of the family after taking office?
After leaving the magistrate's mansion, Sun Qian and Zhao Ji looked like they had survived the catastrophe, but Wang Peng still had a sullen face and did not speak to the two of them.
That Sun Qian was more thoughtful than Zhao Ji, and he saw that Wang Peng might be angry with him and Zhao Ji, or he might not trust Mr. Xie at all, "Wang Catcher, I don't think you should think too much." Like our new county magistrate from Yingyang, who can’t carry things on his shoulders or hands, if he kills a chicken in front of him, he will faint in fear. After taking office, he just wants to keep his own place and I think it's quite normal to have a good relationship with Yan Dazhang."
"Isn't it? Catcher Wang, look at Mr. Xie, who is so thin-skinned and tender-skinned, more beautiful than a flower. What can he do? His kind of person is more life-saving than ours. But it is He was sent by the imperial court to this unfortunate place like ours, so he had no choice but to take up his post. Didn’t you listen to what the inn guy said? That Mr. Xie admitted it himself, saying that he was afraid of death, that’s why he stayed here in Chun’an, otherwise he would be a tortoise , should have arrived in Fufeng early."
"You two idiots! Then if Xie Jinbai is really an embroidered pillow, how could the three of you and I be found together by him and tied back together?"
"This...Wang Butou, what do you mean that Mr. Xie is deceiving us? But what is he trying to do?"
"How do I know! Don't ask me!"
Wang Butou roared angrily.
If he knew what Xie Jinbai was thinking, why bother him? !
Two idiots!

"I didn't expect that the plague of bandits in Fufeng County would be so serious. The bandits are colluding with the Yamen.
Just being the leader of a bandit in Fufeng Mountain, his power has infiltrated the county government, not to mention the power of other bandits.Look at those captors, when they mentioned the bandit leader, they spoke with admiration, but they showed contempt for the county magistrate.If the yamen's arrest is like this, how can other people be better?Xiao Wu, when you went to Fufeng County to take up your post this time, you really picked up a hot potato. "
Once the three of Wang Peng left, Xie Weichao spoke in a heavy tone.
He joined the army at the age of 16. Over the years, he has come and gone countless times. He heard Sun Qian and Zhao Ji mention the current situation of bandits in Fufeng County. Too dangerous.
What Xie Weichao didn't know was that Xie Jinbai asked the little emperor for this hot potato in Fufeng County.
In the seventh year of Xuanhe, with the help of Xie Jinbai and other civil officials, Emperor Zhaoyang, who was already in charge at that time, finally freed up his energy and was able to send troops to wipe out the Fufeng bandits.
Xie Jinbai was handpicked as an imperial envoy, and went to Fufeng to suppress the bandits together with the Minister of the Ministry of War.
Xie Jinbai learned from the experience of trusting local magistrates in Chun'an in the early years, and was extra cautious when he went to Fufeng to suppress the bandits.
Sure enough, the suppression of bandits was a great success.
The big and small bandit leaders in Fufeng Mountain died and surrendered, but a bandit leader named Yan Hu managed to escape.
Xie Jinbai also sent someone to track down Yan Hu's whereabouts, but they failed to find the other party's whereabouts.
Afterwards, he was ordered to return to Beijing and had to leave Fufeng County, and the matter of arresting Yan Hu was over.
Unexpectedly, Yan Hu fled from Fufeng, went to the border between Ruan Ling and Dongqi, gathered a group of desperadoes, and gradually became a small armed force.
For many years since then, they have been harassing the Muzhou border from time to time.
The elder brother Xie Weichao died for the country because he was hit by the hidden weapon of the opponent during the battle with Yan Hu.
Whether it's for the overall situation or personal grievances, Xie Jinbai can't keep Yan Hu.
Xie Jinbai couldn't tell his elder brother the cause and effect of the past, he said in a low voice, "Someone needs to do these things. If I don't go? Who should go? If everyone is afraid of Fufeng's dangers and evils, and avoids them, how can the people of Fufeng be blamed? How pitiful?"
Xie Jinbai stared at his elder brother, "For so many years, my elder brother has guarded the border of Muzhou and tried his best to prevent that Ruan Ling from invading. Huaiyu is not as brave as his elder brother, but he is willing to do his best to clear away the troubles of Fufeng bandits , for me to help the common people to restore the peace of the whole world."
Xie Jinbai's words not only made Xie Weichao's eyes reddened for such an iron-boned man, but also the eyes of other people in the hall were also slightly reddened.
But whoever has lofty ideals has never had a heroic dream of serving the country?
Having been stationed in Muzhou for more than [-] years, did Xie Weichao never think about home or Yingyang?
He thought, of course he thought more than anyone else!
In his dreams, he dreamed that the spring breeze would carry him back to Yingyang, back to his hometown of mountains and rivers.
But if he is transferred back to Yingyang, then who should leave his hometown and suffer from the border of the garrison?
If all the men and women in Dongqi hid in the prosperity of singing and dancing, who would protect their home and country?
Xie Weichao patted Brother Yao heavily on the shoulder, "Okay! Well said, you are worthy of being the son of the Xie family! Just now, the elder brother is narrow-minded!"
"Brother Huaiyu has family and country in his heart, Feng Ming really admires him!"
Xiao Yin cupped his hands in an admiring tone.
Tang Shimao and Tang Buqi, father and son, also had expressions on their faces.
"So, Brother Huaiyu let Wang Peng, Sun Qian, and Zhao Ji go, but he planned to use the three of them to find Yan Hu's lair and take him down in one fell swoop?"
Tang Shimao said with a serious face, "Although Fufeng is not under the jurisdiction of Chun'an, I have heard of Yan Hu's name once or twice. It is said that this person is different from the ordinary mountain bandits who only have the courage of ordinary men. In the early years, this person went to school for several years, so I know some words, and I have read a little bit about the art of war. Therefore, when the local army sent troops to suppress them, this person was good at using the art of war. He was extremely cunning and extremely difficult to deal with. If he wanted to borrow the local army and send troops to take it down in one fell swoop, he might have to think long-term. .”
"Exactly. Xiao Wu, don't be rash about this."
Xie Jinbai looked innocent, "Who said I'm going to borrow soldiers to go up the mountain to suppress bandits? I just married Weimian, newlyweds, and it's too late for a deep love. Why do you want to be so overwhelmed and suppress some bandits?"
After finishing speaking, he got up from his seat, "Weimian should wake up, I should go back to the room to accompany him. Father-in-law, two elder brothers, brother Fengming, excuse me."
Leaving gracefully.
Everyone: "???"
Who was the one who made a generous statement just now, saying, "I am willing to do my best to clear away the bandits in Fufeng and bring peace to the people of Fufeng"? ! !

Tang Xiaotang woke up from the pain in his leg.
He hadn't had a leg problem for a long time, and his back was sweating from the pain like the saw grinding his leg bones.
It was dark outside, and the light inside the house was dim.
Tang Xiaotang's hand touched under the pillow, and finally he touched the box of muscle-renewing ointment that he had put under the pillow before.
Tang Xiaotang breathed a sigh of relief as his temple hair was wet with sweat.
Enduring the pain, he took off his outer shirt and underwear, and opened the box of muscle-promoting ointment.
In order to facilitate the medicine, Tang Xiaotang had to lie on the bed.
"Squeak", someone pushed the door and entered.
Tang Xiaotang tightened her fingertips holding the porcelain box, "Small, Brother Xiaoyu?"
"it's me."
Xie Jinbai responded.
He stepped into the room and found that the room was a little dark, so he lit the lamp and turned the screen.
The author has something to say: Whoa!
I beg Heiye to give me a pair of big 3D eyes that can see everything clearly.

Xiaobai: Don’t even think about it.
