After everyone discussed it, Chao Yong asked Li Zhong and Zheng Tianshou to go back to the mountain to collect their belongings. Those who were willing to go would do it together, and those who didn't want to go would be given some silver and left to their own devices. Both villages were set on fire to level the ground.
, to prevent other grass bandits from occupying and doing evil again.
Chao Yong gave Li Zhong and Zheng Tianshou careful instructions, and then said to Qin Ming: "I will go to Qingzhou again to take out your little body and bury it properly."
Qin Ming was greatly moved when he saw Chao Yong's benevolence, but when he thought about it, he shook his head and said: "Murong Yanda, the prefect of Qingzhou, relies on his sister's power to harm good people in Qingzhou and bully his colleagues. He is most overbearing. I'm afraid we won't be able to do what we want."
Chao Yong nodded and said: "If the people from Qingfeng Mountain didn't attack last night, we might not be able to sneak attack the city. Qingzhou must be heavily guarded now. But we can lead troops to threaten Murong Yanda. I don't think he will fight for the sake of the dead."
We are waiting for a major war. It is safe to die in the earth. General Qin is now my brother in the village. How can Chao Yong let your whole family be killed in the wild?"
Qin Ming was also a straightforward man. Seeing how kindly Chao Yong treated him, he immediately knelt down on one knee and said, "I will never thank you for your kindness. Qin Ming will treat you like Brother Yong from now on."
Chao Yong helped Qin Ming up and said, "Without further delay, we will go to Qingzhou now."
Hearing this, Song Jiang also said: "I am very responsible for this matter. I will also go with you all to pay homage to the dead and injured people."
Hua Rong also said: "I will also accompany my brother for a walk."
Chao Yong could not refuse the two of them, so he had to say to Lin Chong: "Then I will ask my brother to guard the stronghold to avoid any accidents."
People from Qingfeng Mountain and Taohua Mountain would come to Qingfeng Village to meet up. Lin Chong also knew that Qingfeng Village could not lose anything, so he had to stay and guard the village.
But it was said that the prefect Murong of Qingzhou was disturbed last night. After Chao Yong and others chased Yan Shun and others away, they did not dare to open the city gate to let the people into the city for fear of an ambush by grass bandits.
When daybreak came and there were no ambushes, the people were allowed into the city, and then the city gates were immediately closed to prevent the bandits from attacking again.
After lunch, when Magistrate Murong was catching up on his sleep in the house, he heard that grass bandits were coming to harass the city, so he hurried to the top of the city.
When Chao Yong saw a man in crimson official uniform ascending to the top of the city, he also knew that the real master had appeared. He immediately stepped forward and said, "Prefect Murong, I'll discuss this with you. You can send General Qin's body out, and I'll
Then lead the troops to retreat, otherwise what happened last night may happen again. If the censor of the capital knows about it, I will give you a copy."
When Murong Yanda heard Chao Yong's threat, he couldn't help but get angry and was about to speak.
The staff next to him said: "Sir, please calm down. The rebel gangsters from Qin Ming have all lost their heads. Throwing them on the street is just to scare the people in the city. Why provoke these bandits just for some corpses? If they come to harass them every day
, I, Qingzhou, cannot close the city gates every day. Why not let them retreat first, wait for the imperial army to come, and then wipe out all the grass bandits in Qingzhou territory at one stroke."
Hearing this, Murong Yanda also felt that the gains outweighed the losses due to his temporary anger. However, he did not want to give in to the thieves. He turned to his staff and said, "Since you said so, I will leave this matter to you."
The staff also knew that Magistrate Murong usually relied on his sister as a noble concubine and was used to being domineering. How could he give in to the grass bandits and immediately sent the Magistrate down to the city?
Qin Ming watched Magistrate Murong turn around and go down to the city, and couldn't help but sigh: "Hey, everyone's journey has been in vain."
Chao Yong also didn't expect that what he thought was a sure thing would be rejected. He couldn't help but said in anger: "General Qin's words are serious. Let's take a look around the city. If there is a place where we can climb in, we will climb in tonight. At least we can get rid of it."
Take back the bodies of General Qin, old and young. It would be better if you can kill this dog official easily."
The two men turned their horses and were about to leave, when they saw the staff who had accompanied the prefect before walking to the top of the city and shouted: "Wait a moment, I will have people move the bodies of the Qin family."
When Chao Yong heard this, he stopped his horse and waited.
After half an hour, I saw a big basket hanging from the city. Inside, I could vaguely see a headless corpse. After hanging up and down for a while, the aide on the city shouted: "The corpses of the six members of the Qin family are all down there."
, you should retreat as promised when you take it."
Qin Ming looked at all the family members in the distant city whose heads were missing, and suddenly found that he had no courage to go there.
Huang Xin saw his master Qin Ming's grief-stricken look, so he also led a team of soldiers to move the bodies of the Qin family.
By the time Huang Xin and others brought the bodies of Qin Ming's family to him, Qin Ming had already closed his eyes in pain and did not dare to look at them again.
Song Jiang and Hua Rong, who had been hanging in the village hall that had been burned to the ground for a while, also came over at this time.
Hua Rong saw that all Qin Ming's family members had their heads missing, and couldn't bear to look at them.
Song Jiang wailed, threw himself in front of the corpses, kowtowed, and said: "Song Jiang lost his mind and harmed you. Song Jiang kowtows to you and pleads guilty."
Chao Yong couldn't help but feel sick when he saw Song Jiang acting coquettishly there. He turned his horse's head and walked towards the roadside.
Song Jiang cried for a while, and Hua Rong stepped forward to comfort Song Jiang.
Qin Ming saw Song Jiang crying and said: "That's it, that's all, they deserve this disaster in their lives. Huang Xin, take them away and choose a clean place to bury them."
Everyone left Qingzhou and chose a secluded place to bury Qin and Ming's family.
Looking at the six slightly raised graves, Qin Ming kowtowed three times, turned around and left.
Chao Yong also bowed three times and said to Huang Xin: "I have recorded this place. There is a strong wind now. If we erect a monument, I am afraid that we will attract the government again and disturb their souls. When the wind is over, we will come here to erect it again."
monument."
Huang Xin and the young and old of the Qin family were also very familiar with each other. After hearing this, they nodded and silently wrote down the graves of each person.
After coming out of the cemetery, everyone had no intention of talking for a while and returned to Qingfeng Village in silence.
That night, Song Jiang found Hua Rong and said, "Brother Hua Xian, I lost my mind and harmed Qin Ming and his family. Song Jiang was really upset, so he came up with a way to repay Qin Ming. Please ask
Hua Xiandi agreed."
Hua Rong and Song Jiang have been good friends for many years. Hearing this, he said, "Brother, just say whatever you want. Even if I compensate Hua Rong's entire family property to Qin Ming, Hua Rong will never frown."
Song Jiang held Hua Rong's arm and choked with sobs: "Good brother."
Seeing Song Jiang looking at him affectionately, Hua Rong felt embarrassed and said quickly: "Brother, just say whatever you want."
"I see that Qin Ming is skilled in martial arts and is not very young, so I want to be a matchmaker between your sister and Qin Ming. Your sister is very virtuous and they are a good match. I wonder what Brother Hua Xian wants?"
Hua Rong originally thought that Song Jiang wanted to take some gold and silver to compensate Qin Ming, but instead he wanted to compensate his sister to Qin Ming. She couldn't help but wonder: "It's not that I'm rejecting it, it's just that I have to ask her about the big things in my life."
Opinion."
Song Jiang smiled and said: "Since my brother agreed, the matter has been settled. Marriage depends on the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. Now that your parents have passed away, and your eldest brother is like your father, there is no need to ask her opinion. Let's go.
Then go find Qin Ming."
Hua Rong was bullied by Song Jiang's words and could not refute, so he had to go to Qin Ming with Song Jiang. Fortunately, Qin Ming was proficient in martial arts and a good person, so he did not insult his sister.
The two found Qin Ming and explained their intention.
Qin Ming had just witnessed the death of a family of young and old, so he wanted to talk about marriage, so he rejected Song and Jiang without hesitation.
