Invincible son

Chapter 265 264 [Mask]

Every part of Lingzhou has its own characteristics.

Guangping Prefecture is the largest granary in Lingzhou, and Dongqing Prefecture is the best place to raise horses. Almost every household here raises horses, so it is called Mahu.The reason why it is said that Lingzhou is not peaceful is that apart from the constant threat of Western Wu cavalry, the folk customs here are very aggressive.Take the horse households in Dongqing Mansion as an example. Many of them are ordinary people who help the imperial court raise horses, and sometimes they become bandits who cut trails and rob.

This situation has existed for many years, and the government turned a blind eye. As long as they can collect enough horses every year, they will not be too fussy with these horsemen.

Beginning in February of the fourth year of Kaiping, a young man named Chen Meng appeared in Dongqing Mansion. He was generous and forthright, and he soon made friends with several local mahu heads with high prestige.At the beginning of July, Chen Meng gathered a large number of horse households and turned them into bandits, operating in the Qingyu Mountain area.Naturally, the Dongqing Mansion did not dare to hide it, and reported the matter to the Governor's Mansion, and then the Lingzhou Guard Army went to Qingyu Mountain to suppress the bandits, and lost three times in a row. Not only did they not wipe out the horse bandits, but it made them even more arrogant.

Qingyu Mountain is located between Dongqing Mansion, Guangping Mansion and Dingning Mansion, and it is only about [-] miles away from Linqing County in Guangping Mansion.

This is why the coal mines in Linqing County have not been exploited for a long time.

If the horse bandits in Qingyu Mountain are not dealt with, this hidden danger will always threaten the safety of the mine.

It's just that no one could have imagined that before the coal mines were mined, these horse bandits would suddenly come out of Qingyu Mountain and head straight for Linqing County.

The man who rushed to the front was Chen Meng.

He was thin, and he didn't look like a brave and capable person, but there was a horse on the left and right beside him, and they were extremely burly, and each of them carried a big knife on their backs.These rebels have never seen Chen Meng's appearance, because he has been wearing a simple mask since he appeared, covering most of his face.

This mask has never been taken off, so no one knows what he looks like.

Chen Meng was able to become the leader of these horse households, firstly because of his extraordinarily generous shots, secondly because the two strong men carrying knives beside him were real martial arts masters, and thirdly because he knew the art of war and knew how to fight. Wei's Xiang army looked like young children in front of him, and they were easily dismissed.

In this way, Chen Meng gradually won the trust of all horse households, so when he suddenly issued an order to send troops to Linqing County, no one in the mountains objected.

As for the reason for doing this, Chen Meng only gave one sentence: Robbing money, robbing food, robbing women!

Linqing is the richest county in Lingzhou, and it is far away from Xingyang City, the state capital. There is no need to worry about being intercepted by most of the Xiang army. As for the five hundred guards in the city, how can they be the opponents of the two thousand horse bandits? ?
Chen Meng galloped silently, occasionally turning his head to look at the arrogant horsemen behind him, and seeing the excited expressions on their faces because of the looting, he couldn't help but want to laugh out loud.

The so-called robbing Linqing is just a cover, and only a few people know what he really wants to do.

The distance of sixty miles is not too short, but it is not too far for those who live on horseback all year round.

Chen Meng kept urging the steed under his crotch. He was very curious about one thing. When he was in front of that young imperial envoy, would he be so scared that he would pee his pants?
That scene must have been fun.

He had been waiting for this day for two full years.

……

"Master Yan, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

In Linqing County, on the flat ground outside the east gate.

Pei Yue pulled Yan Linchuan's wrist, which seemed to be an act of respecting the elderly, but while asking indifferently, he asked his own soldiers to tie up Yan Shiqiao Wuhuada. This scene was so strange that Yan Linchuan, who was nearly seventy years old, did not know How to respond.

Yan Donglou's appearance is miserable, but it won't surprise Yan Linchuan too much. After all, this is just an offshoot of the clan. There are hundreds of juniors like him, so why would Yan Linchuan care?
But Yan Shiqiao is different, this is his eldest son, and the actual head of the Yan family in Linqing!
Although Yan Linchuan still bears the title of patriarch, since five years ago he has ignored the affairs of the clan and handed over all power to Yan Shiqiao.

"Commissioner Pei Qin, this charge is unfounded!" After a moment of silence, Yan Linchuan finally managed to force out an answer.

"Is it unfounded? Just check it out. There are nearly a hundred scholars and more than 2000 people here. It is impossible for everyone to besiege the imperial guards spontaneously, right? I know someone must be secretly instigated, but someone must instigate If they do this, it will not be a rootless tree. In this way, there is no need to bother the governor's mansion, let alone make the boss wait impatiently. Although the soldiers under me have not done anything in the criminal department, it is no problem to ask How about letting them interrogate one by one now to see what the result is?"

Pei Yue held Yan Linchuan's wrist and spoke calmly.

After hearing these words, Yu Zheng was secretly amazed.I thought that the county magistrate would stop this young imperial envoy, but he was also a junior from the clan that Zuo Zhizheng valued very much. I didn't expect that Mo Qingyun, who was always uncompromising in this county, would turn pale with just a few words from this young man.When Yan Linchuan is invited out, this veteran of the three dynasties may be really too old to be Pei Yue's opponent at all, and now he is forced into a corner.

Hearing what this said, a result will be judged on the spot. In fact, who of the people present does not know the truth of this shitty matter?

How could Yan Linchuan agree?

Sure enough, the old man said vaguely: "Mr. Pei Qin, why are you making such a fuss? In my opinion, it's just a misunderstanding."

Pei Yue was silent for a moment.

After coming to Lingzhou, he finally knew that this world was not as beautiful as he imagined.

In the capital, he saw Mo Haoli and Luo Ting, Wang Pingzhang and Lu Min, all of whom were outstanding people in the world. He learned a lot from watching these big men's methods and styles, and often felt that he was temporarily incompatible with them. gap.

But now?
Xue Tao is greedy for profit, Liu Renji is duplicitous, Zhao Xianhong's government is shallow, Yan Linchuan is old and stupid, Mo Qingyun has a false name, Yu Zheng is ashamed of his name, everyone in Lingzhou is useless!
There are so many figures in the officialdom of Lingzhou, but they are not as good as Duan Yuzhu, the oiran in Peiyu Pavilion.

Thinking of this, Pei Yue let go of Yan Linchuan's wrist, and let Mo Qingyun and Yu Zheng behind him support him. His eyes swept over the three of them, skipping Yan Shiqiao who was tied on the ground and Yan who didn't dare to make a sound. Looking at the Linqing scholars and common people squatting on the ground like lambs not far away, they couldn't help but sneer several times.

He hoped these people were wearing masks, otherwise he would be disappointed.

"Do you know who I am? Do you know what I'm doing in Lingzhou?"

Pei Yue asked this sentence with complicated tone and angry eyes.
