remarrying husband

Zhao Hechi nodded, feeling even more satisfied in his heart, "Very well, remember what you said today, don't break your promise."

"No, we will do our best to win the battle for the emperor and try our best to be worthy of Xiu Mian."

When Cao Zhenling came out from the palace gate, his expression was as calm as before.Zhang Zhi whispered something next to his ear, Xiao Teng smiled, as if he had a plan for everything, while behind him Zheng Anhua was worried about the four little wolf cubs, without him and the young master watching, it is very likely that Mr. Yu He Sinian would only raise them to be cute and coquettish. Perhaps before leaving Beijing, it would be wise to take care of them under the care of General Tuowan...

The bodyguard Zhou Shengyi brought by Zhang Zhi was not like ordinary people, he was probably trained by Zhang Zhi's father since he was a child.

But now, except for Xiao Teng's experience, the five of them were on the battlefield for the first time. Cao Zhenling looked back at the crowd and laughed in his heart.

When the barracks was launched, some people in the army were still dissatisfied. Cao Zhenling ordered Zhang Zhi to practice with the soldiers in the army with him, and even the board and lodging were the same. The pampered Zhang Zhi was not used to it, but he didn't object. Habit.

At this time, Yu Xiu Mian also sent Ling Yao why there were so many rampant bandits and when did the bandits flood, and even the bandit branch was delivered. It would take fifteen days to travel from the capital to Lingyao. Enough countermeasures for Cao Zhenling to get along.

The mountains around Lingyao are steep and the rain is abundant. Although there are many mountains, the land is fertile. If you dig holes at will, you will have a harvest. The local villagers don't have to worry about food.But five years ago, Dilong ransacked the dozen or so villages, but instead of appeasing the villagers, the governments in the townships and counties were tyrannical.The mountain people here are already tough, and immediately refused to accept it. After copying several official dens, they simply fled up the mountain and became bandits. The ridiculous thing is that it would be understandable if this group of people were forced by the situation, but others saw it. The other party was living a happy life, so he felt jealous. In one village, after several villagers failed to pay all the grain for the rented land, they followed the example and killed the landlord and fled up the mountain.

Lingyao used to have a lot of merchants, and not only good skins and wild game are produced here, but also a lot of wild ginseng and so on. After being robbed repeatedly, there are fewer merchants and more and more bandits.

When Cao Zhenling told them about the situation, Zhang Zhi was stunned, "These people, these people are dying? They are delicious and lazy!" Yes, Ling Yao is rich in products and fertile land. The thieves burned, killed and looted many times, and it would be fine if they were different, but there are as many as five or six famous bandit dens, which is really incredible.Xiao Teng pondered, this situation is the most difficult to deal with, almost all the people are bandits, if they copy a hometown, they may be destroyed forever. "What's General Cao thinking?" Xiao Teng looked at Cao Zhenling and asked tentatively.

Before leaving Beijing, Cao Zhenling was named a fourth-rank Xuanwu general, and he was on the same level as his father right away, which made Cao Lao Quail both happy and sad.

"Collect and collect information after the past," Cao Zhenling frowned, "I don't believe that everyone wants to live a peaceful life, and it is the most appropriate to rule the people by the people." He sighed slightly, "The emperor didn't just let us hunt bandits, They can go up the mountain after two years after the fight, so it stands to reason that we should manage it."

Indeed, the Son of Heaven did have this intention, but who knows that the two young couples Cao Zhenling and Yu Xiumian did not follow his idea at all.

Zhang Zhi twitched, "Why didn't you bring Mr. Yu out?"

"Wait a little longer, we'll talk about it when we get there." Cao Zhenling didn't dare to tell the truth, even if Yu Xiu came, it would not be something he, a frail scholar, could take care of, and even if he could, it would not be good for his reputation.

In such a ghostly place, you have to kill the chickens to warn the monkeys. First find out the situation. If there is really a village full of bandits, usually farming is the same as ordinary people, but if you often rob and become bandits, Cao Zhenling must first slaughter the village with blood and blood, and then in the village. Let Yu Xiu Mian come to appease.This combination of rigidity and softness, the combination of rigidity and softness, and the way the villagers govern the villagers, the combination of the two can settle Ling Yao.

Fifteen days later, Cao Zhenling did not let the team go directly to Lingyao, but to recuperate in Wangan County next to Lingyao. Xiao Teng, Zhang Zhi, and the three of them came to Lingyao quietly.

At this time, the news that the imperial court wanted to exterminate bandits had already come, but the locals did not take it seriously. After all, extermination of bandits occurs every year, and no year is really effective, not to mention sending a 17-year-old Mao grow up.

Cao Zhenling and his party have been in Lingyao's territory for five or six days. While sending people to collect information and the situation of several hills, they personally inquired about the information. They went to restaurants and teahouses every day, and they often got good information.

The thieves here are arrogant, and almost half the people are thieves, so those who have no brains, knowledge, and know how to hide it can speak freely when they talk or drink, and the shopkeeper doesn't dare to control them, so it makes them even more rampant .

Sitting in the tea house now, all three of them are wearing burlap bunts. If you don't look carefully, they are no different from ordinary farmers who live better.

"Hi! The imperial court is really getting weaker and weaker. This year, send a 17-year-old kid! What the hell."

"No, I don't know if I've been weaned."

"I heard that he is the new champion of martial arts. He should have some skills, and he is Mr. Yu's young husband."

"Hey, Mr. Yu, Mr. Yu is certainly a great talent, but this aspect is really..." After that, the unclear meaning made everyone laugh.

Xiao Teng and Zhang Zhi immediately looked at Cao Zhenling worriedly, but saw the latter eating noodles with a calm face, and gnawed on the steamed buns.

"Mr. Yu doesn't come, even if he comes, what is he capable of as a scholar without the strength to restrain a chicken." He deliberately lowered his voice "If he comes, then it's good, we will directly arrest people up the mountain to make a stronghold Ma'am! Be the daughter-in-law of our boss, she can also give advice, maybe she can be an emperor."

Cao Zhenling listened for a while, it wasn't that the other party was thinking about his wife, but "whoever gets Yu Xiu Mian will be the emperor." This kind of non-existent rumor, I have to go back and talk to Yu Xiu Mian, let him think of a way, they The two were already on the cusp of the storm, and it would be wrong if one happened.

"I heard that Mr. Nayu is really beautiful! It would be great if I could see his face." He swallowed as he spoke.

"Which round will we get us?" The person who said the big words just now snorted immediately, "I heard that the bosses of Zuoshantou, Zhongshantou and Dongshantou plan to join forces to capture our little champion alive, and use him to force the court to arrest Yu. Ms. called out and changed people, or let Mr. Yu come to our place to talk, but can he leave after he comes?" He snorted disdainfully.

"I think this plan can come true. Who doesn't know that Dongshantou and Zuoshantou are powerful? Last time they robbed officials and money, and the imperial court sent troops to hide on the mountain. If people come, they can't do anything about them."

"Yo~ Then our two champions this year seem to be in danger." He laughed wildly as he spoke.

Zhang Zhi's face turned livid, and he gritted his teeth, "A group of idiots! Troublesome people! They're plotting rebellion!"

When Xiao Teng was in the capital, he knew that bandits were hard to kill, but he never expected to be so rampant. The more he learned these days, the more frightened he became. Fortunately, Cao Zhenling brought him here to investigate, otherwise he would not believe the news even if he heard the news.

Thinking of this, he looked at the little champion in the mouth of those bandits, and to his and Zhang Zhi's surprise, this kid still sat firmly on Mount Tai, neither angry nor happy.

Zhang Zhi felt that he was anxious for him, but he was safe and sound, and felt a little discouraged, "Why are you not angry?"

Cao Zhenling asked Xiaoer to serve a bowl of noodles, "Is it useful to be angry?" He said with a snort, "Anyway, you will be dead later." This teahouse is more original and friendly to the people. On the left side of the first floor, it is allowed to order food.

"Huh? What are you going to do?" Xiao Teng's eyes lit up.

"I'll find a chance to tie people up later. The one in the middle who talks the most nonsense seems to know a lot of news. Let's interrogate him." Cao Zhenling ate another steamed bun, "Aren't you going to eat it?"

Zhang Zhi immediately nodded, "Eat, eat, eat!" Seeing that Cao Zhenling had a claim, he was naturally satisfied and at ease, and he ate it with big mouthfuls.Xiao Teng laughed "Huh~", he was somewhat satisfied with this little champion, his emotions and anger were invisible, he knew the seriousness, and his thoughts were deep, as long as the brothers brought out this time can be safe, he doesn't ask for anything else Yes, just ask someone to die inexplicably.

Those three people talked nonsense all afternoon, Cao Zhenling and the others went out after eating, waiting not far away to catch their group.After the three of them came out, they went to the tavern to drink some wine, and went out drunk, which made Zhang Zhi's heart brittle, and when they knocked them unconscious, they were ruthless. I found it in a broken house.

After waking up, Xiao Teng asked first, while Cao Zhenling was peeling an apple beside him and asked Zhang Zhi, "Did your father teach you how to interrogate?" "No, isn't this what the Ministry of Criminal Justice should learn?" With gnawing.

"What about the interrogation?" Cao Zhenling asked curiously.

"No, can't the people below do it?" Zhang Zhi looked at him inexplicably, "Have you ever been taught by your master?"

Cao Zhenling really nodded, "A lot of things have to be done by yourself to know the most real thing, and this is also a kind of knowledge, if you don't do it well, the other party will die or the other party will not speak hard enough." He pointed to that place with his jaw. , Xiao Teng asked, but how many sticks went down, broke three ribs, and the other party still cursed without telling the truth.

"What did your master teach you?" Xiao Teng hadn't done this kind of coolie for a long time. If these two were not ancestors, he really wanted to beat him with a stick. Now listening to Cao Zhenling's words, he is angry and funny , threw the stick and asked.

"Go, take off the shoe on the left one, and pour it out." Cao Zhenling finally peeled the apple, with a long and beautiful string of "By the way, wash his feet with water, and I will show you a sole peeling technique. "

"Yo~ I've heard of this, but not many people can do it well." Xiao Teng's eyes suddenly lit up, "Is it really capable?"

"Whether it can be done or not, you can see." Cao Zhenling gnawed the apple in two bites, Zhang Zhi felt that he was so rough, why did he pretend to peel the apple?

Just use the dagger to peel the apple just now, Cao Zhenling weighed it, and looked at the three of them coldly, "Say it, just hurry up, don't talk about it, I have a lot of means, and I can also peel the skin, I will show you a show first." As he said, he grabbed the opponent's ankle and swiped down twice, the opponent screamed and yelled, his eyes were full of pain and fear, life would be better than death.

"Say no? Tell me everything you know, don't try to hide it from me." Cao Zhenling bent down and picked up a piece of meat with the tip of a knife, and raised his eyebrows at Xiao Teng triumphantly.

Xiao Teng was a little shocked by this hand. As far as he knew, this skill could not be achieved without cutting twenty or thirty people.Thinking of this, he squinted his eyes. This kid didn't look like a simple person. He had quite a lot of blood on his hands. He was completely different from that kid from the Zhang family.In his eyes, Zhang Zhi is just a little white rabbit, snow-white and snow-white.As for Cao Zhenling, he looks lazy, but he is actually a beast.

"I, I say!" The man whose skin was peeled by Cao Zhenling screamed.

The two people beside him were gagged and could only watch, struggling to no avail.

Cao Zhenling interrogated him and found someone who was dishonest, so he snorted coldly, "It seems that you will never die until you reach the Yellow River," saying that he cut off a full twelve pieces of the soles of his feet before he saw the bones.

The scene was bloody and violent, Xiao Teng was alright, Zhang Zhi felt that he was about to vomit, so he sat here trying not to lose face, if he was in the capital, he would have run to find his father crying.

"Say it?" Cao Zhenling didn't have a trace of blood on his face, but it made people feel terrified, like Shura, "If you don't say it, someone will cut off your other foot?" To the pale Zhang Zhi, "Come and try?"

Zhang Zhi froze, he knew that now was not the time for him to be timid, but, but...

After a while, Zhang Zhi plucked up his courage and grabbed the dagger in Cao Zhenling's hand. Before he put the dagger close to the opponent's feet, the opponent screamed, "I'm telling the truth, I'm telling the truth!"

Zhang Zhi felt relieved when he heard this, and felt ashamed!Looking at Cao Zhenling with a complicated heart, the latter's eyes were so dark that he couldn't see his expression. At this moment, Zhang Zhi felt that there was a big difference between them. Unconvinced in my heart!

"Then let's talk about it." Cao Zhenling looked at Zhang Zhi and said jokingly.

One was interrogated, and Cao Zhenling interrogated the second, or there was a demonstration of the former, and the second honestly said everything that should be said.

Cao Zhenling asked Xiao Teng to take these two out and deal with them, and then he looked at the one who was stubborn and knew the most.

"They say save the best for last," paused "Are you right?"

"You brat! Don't try to learn anything from me!" the man growled through gritted teeth, wanting to tear Cao Zhenling's body to pieces.

"It's okay," he chuckled. "We played slowly all night. I'm good at pulling out the intestines and tying a knot. You can live. Believe it or not?"

Although the other party was terrified to death, he still gritted his teeth.

Cao Zhenling decided to have some bloody ones first, and then some shocking ones, such as bone extraction, skin peeling, and...

Xiao Teng wiped his face when he looked at it, and felt that this little champion was a little...perverted, and felt uneasy for Mr. Yu.

When the other party was still breathing, Cao Zhenling also finished asking, poured some water to wash his hands, and put down his sleeves. The whole person was still clean, and he was incompatible with the bloody house. Discuss countermeasures."

Zhang Zhi couldn't help but rushed out and vomited twice, now his face was pale and he was shaking, "You, what are you going to do?" But the stubbornness in his heart made him persist.

Cao Zhenling didn't say anything, but asked Xiao Teng to dig a hole to bury the three of them first, and then set fire to the house. While Xiao Teng was digging the hole, he erased the traces of the three of them in the room.

Zhang Zhi didn't get annoyed when he didn't get an answer, instead he asked strangely, "It's going to be set on fire later, why are you doing these things?"

"Just in case," Cao Zhenling was very optimistic about this first battle, and he was bound to achieve a complete victory, so now it is natural to take every step of the way to eliminate any possibility of carelessness and mistakes.

Xiao Teng admired his technique very much. He burned people first and then covered them with soil.

While doing this, Cao Zhenling ordered, "When you go back, tie up a bandit or two from the left, middle, and east sides, and make people be careful not to show their feet. Put the blame on Youshantou and Nanshantou." He said, playing with the cleaned dagger, "I want to stand still first, and then let them fight among themselves, as much chaos as possible, we must not let them twist into a ball, otherwise it will not be good for us to suppress the bandits .”

Xiao Teng wiped off his sweat, "Indeed, in previous years, people would flee to that mountain when they attacked this mountain."

"I think, let's send 500 people to pretend to attack a few mountain tops, and flee in a hurry after being beaten several times in a row, so that they can let go of their guard. At the same time, we will first investigate the five clans of bandits, which is a lot of work. I'm afraid the local government won't cooperate." He said coldly, "The bandits can be so rampant, how can it be possible without local protection?"

"Are you planning?" Zhang Zhi suppressed his mind, grabbed Xiao Teng's shovel, and told him to roll to the side to rest.

"If possible, I want to arrest their five clans. If there are cases, they will be killed directly. If there are no cases, they will also be expelled from Lingyao's world. Only in this way can the roots be cured. If there are few Lingyao people, they will be from the side. Migrate a group of people, you can exchange with them." Cao Zhenling frowned a little irritably, "I don't have much talent for housekeeping, so I don't know if it's feasible."

"I agree with what you said about leading troops to fight, let them take it lightly, and then encircle the mountains to suppress bandits. As for rectifying Ling Yao, you can write a letter back and ask Mr. Yu." Zhang Zhi raised his head and said.

"En." Cao Zhenling nodded slowly, he felt that he really couldn't handle this matter alone.

On the second day after Cao Zhenling left the capital, Yu Xiumian was first assigned to the Imperial Academy to sort out the books. Others said that the emperor was overqualified, but Yu Xiumian reclassified the entire Imperial Academy, what to do, what to do, The daily workload has been arranged, and there are some historical books that their old men dare not touch in previous years, and Yu Xiumian has also revised and annotated them one by one.

When he was so busy, he received a letter from his little husband.

Yu Xiu raised her eyebrows, is he asking for help off the court?Just that kid, who is willing to ask him with face?

Even if he thought so, Yu Xiu Mian happily opened the letter, glanced at ten lines at a glance, then threw it aside angrily, and asked him seriously how to rectify Ling Yao, and said his thoughts over and over again.This made Yu Xiu Mian very angry.

Back then when that bastard Lin Jinghui knew how to use him, he talked sweetly for a while before asking questions. This kid is so straightforward?

Xi Zhe looked at it, glanced at the letter secretly, and thought with some regret, Mr. Cao might never want to be with his husband in this life, so don't think about the baby, even if he can't climb the bed, he definitely won't have a baby no?

Although Yu Xiumian was helpless and unwilling, he still honestly returned the letter for him.

When I stuffed the letter back into the envelope casually, I saw that the envelope was densely packed with words!Yu Xiumian angrily and amusedly tore open the envelope directly, looking at the dense page of family letters, he was filled with emotion, this kid never gave him peace, even writing a letter was like engaging in intelligence.

Complaining, he read the letter slowly. After reading it, he propped his jaw with one hand and replied with the other. Going back halfway, he picked up the letter and read it again, then turned his head and continued writing.

Xizhe chuckled in his heart, what does this ups and downs mean? !

Cao Zhenling's family letter clearly stated what he had done in the past few days, and everything he did, even when he took a bath, he washed it every few days, and Ling Yao's delicious food, and secretly hunted for him. I bought some good leather and bought some good things along the way. I plan to make him a cloak when I return to Beijing!Do four or five pieces!Red, white, light blue, all kinds of colors!

Yu Xiumian seemed sweet in his heart, but it was still strange, why did Cao Zhenling like to dress himself up?Or do it yourself, isn't it usually enough to make a few pieces of leather for the wife?He seems to be endless, doing non-stop.

When Cao Zhenling received the reply, he first read the letter from Yu Xiumian to his family, um... a little sad, he missed him so ardently, did Madam not receive his heart?

After being sad for a while, he continued to read the letter. Yu Xiumian felt that he was half in favor of him and half against.There are also a large number of bandits, so we can't implicate the family members of some young soldiers, only those who are stained with blood can be arrested. In addition, these are based on how many hills Cao Zhenling can capture.

Here Cao Zhenling has already begun to make false attacks, going there every day, returning every day, and sending different people and soldiers every time.One is to be familiar with the terrain, and second, this is the best practice, isn't it?

Those veterans who were soldiers, as if they were playing every day, rushed up aggressively, held back their laughter, and fled back in a hurry, they were really putting on a show.

Cao Zhenling asked people to roughly make these hilltops into a sand table, pointed to several hilltops and said, "The six hilltops, the left, middle, and east seem to be twisted together, and the south and west sides are not far behind. It's a little strange to go down the mountain, and keep closing the door to do our own business, and we have the least information."

"That's right. I've always heard that they have strict governance and look like an army." The spies reported back. "Let's take down these hills first." Xiao Teng knocked on the table, "What is the little general going to do?"

Cao Zhenling pondered, "Let's take down these three mountains first. They are the most rampant and the most powerful. They are caught off guard! If they are taken down, the south and the middle will panic, but the local magistrate will have to Clean it up first." Xiao Teng and Zhang Zhi got angry when they said this, they came to suppress the bandits, and the magistrate was still holding back!

In the past few days, I have asked them from time to time how they plan to fight and how to cooperate?And the defense here is also top-notch. "Seize the military power of the garrison first, lest they hold back!" Zhang Zhi said angrily.
