1797: Aftermath

Murong Yuan jumped off the blood-stained war horse, and rushed to Suojiang Pass with the same bloody scimitar. The checkpoint was still standing proudly on the river surface, and the gate of the water village was closed. On the distant river surface, the merchant ship carrying three steam engines was dragged to the shore at this moment.

"County magistrate, the college lieutenant is no longer possible." The surviving armed policemen shouted in crying voices from the front. Murong Yuan immediately threw away the scimitar in his hand and ran to the other side in three steps and two steps.

The crowd automatically separated a road. Gao Yaguang lay on the ground, his head resting on the thigh of an armed policeman. One of his hands was still tightly grasping the roulette that controlled the gate of the water village. In his mouth, large masses of dirty blood were pouring out.

Murong Yuan knelt in front of him on one knee and held Gao Yaguang's other hand tightly.

"County magistrate, I guard Suojiang Pass." Seeing Murong Yuan, Gao Yaguang's face showed a smile with difficulty.

"Yes, you have defended Suojiang Pass. You should be the first to win this battle." Murong Yuan nodded: "I will ask for me for you. This time, you will be promoted to the position of general, which is easy."

A trace of magic flashed in Gao Yaguang's eyes, but it dimmed in an instant: "Minister, what do they want to do?"

Murong Yuan pointed at the ship on the distant river and shouted: "College Captain, the ship is loaded with the biggest secrets of our Ming Dynasty. The people of Qi tried their best to steal the secrets of our Ming Dynasty, but their plans were defeated by you. You are a good person. The Ming Dynasty will thank you."

Gao Yaguang's face suddenly lit up: "Really? Is that true?"

"Yes, it's true!" Murong Yuan said forcefully.

"That's worth the death." Gao Yaguang laughed, and blood spurted out in laughter. Finally, his hands hung weakly from the machine plate, and his head leaned against the soldier's arms without any sound.

Murong Yuan stood up slowly, walked to the side of the wall, and tried his best to hold back the tears that were about to fall.

Today's battle has gained a lot, but it has also made great efforts. The 500 armed police officers led by Gao Yaguang were almost wiped out, and the remaining only dozens of people were only left.

After strode down the wall, Xiao Kui came up.

"The county magistrate killed more than 800 Qi troops in this battle, and captured nearly 200, including seven officers above the lieutenant. In addition, Xu Fu and his family were all captured by us on that ship."

Murong Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "The soldiers of Qi army are all guarding them well, and there will be great uses in the future. As for Xu Fu's return to you, how do you want to deal with him, please do whatever you want."

"Okay!" Xiao Kui said coldly: "I hate such a person the most in my life. If I fall into my hands, I will definitely tell him not to live or die. His family, I will bring them to the poorest place in Cenzhou, and I will also watch all this happen when Xu Fu is alive."

Murong Yuan's eyes drifted a little: "The laws and regulations of the Ming Dynasty cannot be implicated!"

"We will certainly not be implicated. We will have solid evidence to prove that his family has participated in this treason case, but the crimes are different. If we don't behead you, just exil to them, it is already my Ming Dynasty who is particularly kind. As for those underage, if you don't follow the exiled adults, how can you survive?" Xiao Kui said. "If the county magistrate, if not, how can you be worthy of the blood-stained Suojiang Pass and how can you be worthy of the dead brother?"

Murong Yuan's eyes fell on all kinds of blood stains, and he finally nodded: "You go and do it. If there is something wrong in the future, I will take it."

"Thank you, the county magistrate. Xiao is naturally responsible with the county magistrate." Xiao Kui did not refuse. With a big shot like Murong Yuan, even if there is something wrong in the future, it will not be too big.

Xiao Kui had just left, a fat man with thick cotton wool wrapped in his body and a pale face turned up timidly, trying to salute Murong Yuan, but he had to pull the quilt to prevent it from falling off. He couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and ridiculous. This man was the silk merchant who first rushed towards the boat with his merchant ship to Jiang Tong. He fell into the river at that time and later saved the sailors who accompanied him. His life was fine, but he was really scared.

Murong Yuan patted the other party's shoulder with appreciation: "The shopkeeper is really a righteous man. Don't worry, our Wuzhou will definitely compensate you for your losses in full, and will also vigorously commend the shopkeeper's righteous conduct, conducting the world, and demonstrating the shopkeeper's righteous conduct and other merchants who help you."

"Thank you, thank you, thank you." After Murong Yuan's personal promise, the fat man's blue and white face suddenly showed an excited blush, and he bowed to thank him repeatedly.

"This time I'm too busy and can't take time. Next time the shopkeeper comes to Wuzhou, I'll invite you to drink." Murong Yuan said with a smile.

"I dare not, I dare not. I will come to Wuzhou again next time, and the grass-roots will be the host. As long as the county magistrate is willing to give him a glimpse of his face, it's enough." The fat man said quickly.

"Of course I'm coming. How could Murong Yuan not give you a righteous man like this!" Murong Yuan nodded affirmatively.

The fat man smiled and said, "The county magistrate has something to do, so the grass-roots people will not disturb you, and they will leave, and they will leave."

Xie Cheng has been restless since Murong Yuan left. At this time, he was not concerned about those machines. The three steam engines were indeed a huge sum of money, but for Xie, it was just a drop in the bucket. Even if he was involved in the Qi spy case this time, he did not take it seriously. At most, he just didn't pay attention to being used by others. This matter is easy to explain, and with his background, he doesn't have to worry about these trivial matters at all.

The only thing he is worried about now is Murong Yuan's safety. It's only a few days before his daughter marrys him. How sinister and unpredictable are on the battlefield. If there is a good girl, she will become a widow.

He was obviously a scholar, but he wanted to show off his strength and use swords and guns. Thinking of this, Xie Cheng gritted his teeth. After all, he was still a barbarian. He could not change the barbaric atmosphere in his blood no matter how many books he read.

The daughter sitting opposite her seemed to be quietly rusting there with no trouble, but Xie Cheng knew that her daughter's heart was also uneasy, so she sat for a while and had already stabbed her finger twice.

It has been two whole days, and what is the situation on Suojiang Pass? The county town is ignorant. The left-behind Wuzhou Changshi blocked the county town and refused to enter. Even Xie Cheng has become a deaf and blind man now. He has no choice but to wait passively for the end of Suojiang Pass.

Although the longer the time, the calmer his heart became, but Murong Yuan, that bastard, didn’t you know to send someone back to report your safety first?

"Yan'er, don't worry, there is no news for two days, which means that the matter over there has been resolved. You man, I'm afraid that you are busy with the aftermath. If he was really defeated, I'm afraid someone would have escaped to report the news long ago." Seeing that his daughter was stabbed by a needle again, he couldn't help but comfort him.

Xie Feiyan raised her head and said, "My husband is both civil and military, so it's okay, but he's just a little uneasy."

"How about you go back to the back hall and say something to your mother-in-law, I'm afraid she's more worried."

"Mother-in-law is not worried." Xie Feiyan shook her head and said, "At first I comforted her, but my mother-in-law said that men should go outside to work hard. She has long been used to it."

After hearing this, Xie Cheng couldn't help but shake his head. The barbarians and the people at the foot of the mountain were still different.

It was already dark, and Xie Cheng stood up and was about to leave the government office. Suddenly, a family servant ran in and said happily: "The county magistrate is back, the county magistrate is back."

Xie Chengdi stood up and glanced at Xie Feiyan.

"I'll go see this guy."

"Daughter, go and tell my mother-in-law!" Xie Feiyan smiled and put down the embroidery bandage and floated towards the back hall, but her steps seemed extremely light at this moment.

Murong Yuan came back with hundreds of prisoners. More than 200 Qi army prisoners were stringed into a string with ropes and were dejectedly sandwiched in the middle by the army. The most eye-catching one was Xu Fu, who was alone, his head was stuck on the roof, and he stood in a cage with a gray face, while his family was stuffed into the two prison cars behind him.

Xie Cheng, who was welcomed out of the county government, was so angry that he was so angry that he prided himself on his own. He claimed to be an elite and never suffered a loss in his life. This time, Xu Fu, who he had never seen at all. If it weren't for the many people now, he really wanted to step forward and slap that guy hard and kick it a few times to vent his resentment.

"General Xiao, please let you deal with these people." Murong Yuan looked tired and almost couldn't stand firm after jumping off the horse.

"Don't worry, I will settle these people." Xiao Kui looked at Murong Yuan with some admiration. No one who has been sleeping for several days will be unable to hold on. "The county magistrate has to take a good rest quickly, but don't hurt your body."

Murong Yuan nodded and bowed to Xie Chenggong and said, "Father-in-law, now I just want to have a good sleep. After waking up, we will talk about it in detail."

After carefully looking at Murong Yuan, Xie Cheng put his heart in his stomach when he saw that the other party was intact. As long as this kid was not missing his arms and legs, his machines would be gone. After telling this matter, his heart that he had interfered in the silk business also faded.

Murong Yuan returned to the mansion and slept soundly. At this time, Tian Kang, who had just received the report from Xiao Kui, looked at Yang Zhi and smiled bitterly: "I was almost made by Cao Hui again. He was actually a trap and wanted to kill two birds with one stone! Thanks to Murong Yuan, the kid, reacted quickly and handled it well, he saved us face. Now our Ministry of State Security owed him a huge favor."

Yang Zhi burst into laughter and said, "You are not good to repay this favor!"

"It's really not easy to pay it back!" Tian Kang sighed.
