Chapter 85 Sir, Help!
Standing on the edge of Bu Peng, watching the battle in the execution ground gradually end, Zeng knew that he was secretly happy.

The turmoil was finally passed with less damage.

Although his political performance has been stained, at least his position has been preserved.

All this is thanks to Qin Yi.

If it weren't for Qin Yi, relying on himself alone, he might have made frequent tricks, causing heavy casualties, and even turning half of the city into ashes!
"Qin Yi, on behalf of all the people in the city, thank you for your protection!" Zeng Mingzhi cupped his hands, bowed slightly, and said earnestly.

Qin Yi hurriedly stepped aside, and the fourth-rank official bowed to thank him. With his current status, he was not qualified to accept it.

If it is seen by others, it may cause trouble in vain.

"My lord, I'm overwhelmed. As a student of the Policy Academy and a member of Fucheng, it's only right for me to share my worries for my lord."

Straightening up, Zeng said clearly, "I will report the truth to you for your achievements."

Qin Yi didn't care much about this credit.

He failed the imperial examination and could not be an official.Therefore, even if it is rewarded by the court, it is impossible to increase the official position, and it is very likely to be some money and silk rewards.

But it’s okay, he is very poor now, and he has to be carried by his classmates when he goes to the Jiaofang Division. He is really short of money.

"I have good tea in my home. When you are free, you can come to the humble house to taste it," Zeng Mingzhi said, "I live in Shangshanfang. When you come, tell your name, and the concierge will take you in." .”

When Qin Yi heard this, his heart moved.

He immediately understood that Zeng Mingzhi wanted to establish a good relationship with him.Of course, there may also be intentions of soliciting.

But no matter what, he couldn't take away the other party's kindness, so Qin Yi said with a smile, "Then, when I have free time, I'll go and bother you."

Zeng Mingzhi stroked his long beard and laughed.

At this time, Lei Butou walked up to the high platform and entered Bu Peng.

He looked tired and disheveled, with a little blood stained on his body, and he seemed to have suffered a lot.

"My lord!" Lei Butou bowed and shouted.

Zeng Mingzhi looked over and said, "Thank you for your hard work, I will honor you."

Lei Butou nodded, pretending to be happy, but a little disappointed in his heart.

When he stepped onto the high stage just now, he heard it. He had clearly invited Qin Yi to be a guest at home, which was a performance he valued.

The latter can also hug the thigh, which is of great benefit.

Therefore, he deliberately pretended to be tired, hoping that Zeng knew that he could invite him, but who knows...

Suppressing his disappointment, Butou Lei said in a respectful voice, "My lord, the bandits are extremely fierce, and they refused to surrender. Only four of them were captured, and the rest were executed on the spot."

Zeng Mingzhi nodded, "Put them all in prison, waiting to be released!"

"Yes!" Glancing at Zeng Mingzhi, seeing that he didn't speak anymore, Butou Lei stepped down from the high platform in disappointment.

The calamity of bandits has been settled, and there is nothing more important here, Qin Yi was about to leave when he suddenly saw a man and a horse passing the guards and galloping under the high platform.

The man was dressed in armor and was covered in blood. He seemed to have suffered serious injuries. He dismounted from his horse and staggered up to the high platform, half lying on the ground, gasping for breath.

Seeing this person, Zeng knew that he was extremely puzzled.

The armor worn by this person is different from that of the guards in the audience, obviously he is not a government garrison.

Where is he from?
Before Zeng knowingly asked, the man hissed, "My lord, help me!"

Zeng Mingzhi hurriedly asked, "Who are you? Whose life do you want to save?"

"The young one is a pawn under General Jing Xun's command. He escorted Jiao Mao into the city with the general, but he was attacked in the Yinlian Valley. The team suffered heavy casualties. Jiao Mao was robbed by bandits. Please send someone to capture him quickly!"

Zeng Mingzhi was startled immediately, his pupils opened wide!

He had already guessed that something must have happened since Jing Xun hadn't arrived for a long time.

But I just think it's a trivial matter. After all, there are so many people, it's not easy to cause major problems.

But who knew, it was actually attacked.

And there were heavy casualties!
Involuntarily, he frowned tightly, anxious in his heart.

Bandits must be able to defeat Jing Xun's troops, there must be a large number of them, what would he use to catch the bandits?

Just as he was about to refuse, he heard the pawn say, "The mountain bandits were also badly injured. There are only about three hundred people left. Jiao Mao was seriously injured and it is difficult to escape. My lord sends someone to hunt them down at this time, and I will surely capture them back!"

Only three hundred people left?

Hearing this, Zeng Ming knew that the anxiety in his heart was much less and became more lively.

More than [-] people, it seems that it is not difficult to deal with.

Now that there is chaos in Fucheng, if Jiao Mao can be captured, he can make up for his mistakes and make up for the stains on his political achievements, and he may be promoted in the coming year!

Even if he can't be captured, it's better to send someone out to make a show, lest the court blame him for delaying the time.

So, Zeng Mingzhi nodded, and just happened to have a few arrests on the high platform, came to guard, Zeng Mingzhi said, "I will send someone to hunt him down, you take good care of your wounds. Come here, take him down for diagnosis and treatment."

When the pawn was arrested and helped away quickly, Zeng Mingzhi said, "Go and find Butou Lei."

The arrester went away quickly.

Not long after, Hunter Lei returned to the high platform, and he had clearly ordered, "Send people to the government office to gather people, count the injuries in the city, and do a good job of comfort and treatment. In addition, you lead a group of arresters and go out of the city to hunt down Jiao Mao's trail. Don't force it, don't fight blindly!"

All you need to do is find Jiao Mao's trace, and Quan Shenhan will lead his troops to arrest him when the time comes.

Thinking of this, Zeng Mingzhi was full of doubts, where did Quan Shenhan go?
Why haven't you come back yet?
Suddenly, he thought of something.

Could it be that Quan Shenhan already knew the news, so he abandoned the city and went to arrest Jiao Mao just for the great credit?

Damn fool!
Zeng knowingly cursed secretly.

For the sake of merit, it is understandable to abandon the whole city and ignore it, it is really heartless and mindless!

If something goes wrong, let alone himself, even Quan Shenhan can't escape the responsibility!

When this reckless man comes back, he has to thank Qin Yi well!

After hearing the order, Butou Lei was shocked, "Looking for Jiao Mao? Has this guy escaped?"

Zeng Mingzhi came back to his senses and gave Lei Butou a brief explanation.

Lei Butou was slightly startled, he had just experienced the bandit's bravery, so how dare he face it again.

Thinking that it was just a pursuit and there was no need for a hard fight, he felt a little relieved and responded, "This subordinate understands."

Qin Yi stood aside for a long time without saying a word, thinking quickly in his heart.

He knew what he thought of, and he also thought of it.

Quan Shenhan's hasty departure must have something to do with this matter.

But he knew that the other party was definitely not doing it for merit, there must be another reason.

Although Quan Shenhan is crazy, he is not reckless. It can be seen from the fact that he sent someone to assassinate him without showing any traces.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for the other party to ignore their responsibilities for the sake of merit.

If there is a big disturbance in Fucheng, his position will definitely be lost.

So Quan Shenhan's sudden departure from the city must be because of things over there, which are more important than Fucheng.

What is more important than his official hat?

Yes, that is the head!
In other words, there is something outside the city that could kill Quan Shenhan!
Thinking of this, Qin Yi immediately said, "My lord, it seems that it's hard to get things done just by catching him fast!"
