Chapter 20 Embroidered Pillow
(The computer broke yesterday, I made up for it today.)
Gao Daquan looked at Huang Conggui over there. He was short and had a skin tied to his bones. He only had a few taels of meat. He immediately showed off his might and looked like a large shrimp. He nodded to Xu Ping and said, "Don't worry, the young ones will be able to take advantage of it!"
Tan Hu was a little worried and hesitantly said to Xu Ping: "It is not difficult to capture this person, but he is the eldest son of the magistrate of Zhongzhou after all. He is afraid that it will cause riots in Zhongzhou."
"I have everything, just catch people."
Zhongzhou is a relatively large force near Yongzhou, but the mountains are vast and sparsely populated. At most, the magistrates gathered five or six hundred soldiers, which was not enough for Xu Ping to worry about. The reason why they were unscrupulous was that the Song Dynasty's policies have always been to calm down and try to avoid conflicts with local forces.
Seeing Huang Conggui still chasing the barbarians in the grass market, Xu Ping whispered: "You've made enough trouble for that barbarian! How can the people under the imperial court be beaten and scolded you?"
Huang Conggui stubbornly shouted to Xu Ping: "These are all slaves in my family. Do you have any control? I will beat you! I will beat you to death!"
Xu Ping said coldly: "You are rebellious and can't tell me. Do you want to rebel? Come on, take this barbarian down and let him know that I, the Song Dynasty, still have the king's law!"
Gao Daquan had been waiting for Xu Ping's words for a long time, shouted, rode out, and ran straight towards Huang Conggui.
Tan Hu hurriedly followed, pulled out his knife, and protected Gao Daquan.
Zhu Zongping complained on the side that this young magistrate was too reckless in doing things. The customs of the barbarians were different from those of the Han people. The court always had a restraint and encirclement. What laws should I tell them?
Huang Conggui was hitting a middle-aged barbarian with a child to vent his anger when he suddenly saw Gao Daquan rushing over with a mighty momentum, as if a tiger was going down the mountain, and he was shocked.
Since childhood, when have you ever seen Han people so fiercely? Haven’t they always endured it if they could, and gave in as much as they could? Even the government officials also talked nicely to them, such as barbarian chiefs, and didn’t say a single word of evil.
In the blink of an eye, Gao Daquan arrived in front of Huang Conggui, stretched out his big hand like a palm fan, grabbed his back collar and pulled it to his horse, pressed it tightly, and turned around.
Tan Hu followed behind, holding a knife to prevent Huang Conggui's subordinates from causing trouble, but found that they all stared at Gao Daquan calmly and caught his little master, as if he was caught in an evil spirit, and no one moved around.
"Dare you dare to arrest me? You dare to arrest me!"
Huang Conggui was immediately waking up, and finally woke up. He kept beating his hands and scolding, and was already crying. Others were weak and weak, so for Gao Daquan, it was not even tickling.
Xu Ping did not expect that the group of servants had such a reaction. He originally thought that they would have to rely on the soldiers in the patrol camp to make trouble, but now it seems that it is completely unnecessary.
Back to Xu Ping, Gao Daquan whispered: "Official, the young man has already captured this lawless barbarian and come back. What should I do if I deal with it? I'll ask for instructions!"
Xu Ping glanced at Huang Conggui. He was so scared that he even burst into tears. He said coldly: "This barbarian has not been transformed from the king, and he has no idea what the reason has happened. He has been involved in the market and brought it into the village. I will tell him some principles of being a human being."
After saying that, he shouted to more than 20 soldiers who were still staying there: "You little master is confused and I will take it back to the village to scold you. You are all waiting here!"
Seeing those people nodding to him repeatedly, Xu Ping also smiled bitterly. Unexpectedly, these people showed off their might when they came, but they were so gentle when something happened.
Back in the village, Gao Daquan raised his hand and threw Huang Conggui Congma down and spat: "I didn't expect that it was such a useless product, and I dared to be the king around here!"
Huang Conggui got up from the ground, pointed at Gao Daquan and scolded, "Okay, you big man, you dare to touch me! Wait, I ask my father to order people and cut you into pieces!"
Seeing that Xu Ping didn't say anything, Gao Daquan immediately kicked him to the ground and scolded: "You don't know how to die when you get here! Let's see how many bones you have!"
Huang Conggui got up from the ground and looked at Gao Daquan viciously. Finally, he didn't dare to scold him. He muttered something in his mouth and jumped from time to time.
After getting off the horse, Li Anren hurriedly came to Xu Ping and said anxiously: "Prime Minister, I don't know what to do if I capture this little yanei back? The student took the liberty to say that Zhongzhou is nearby, and most of the surrounding counties and communities surrendered to him. It was a stalemate and I was afraid that something was going on!"
Xu Ping smiled: "I understand that catching him back is just a warning. No matter how big Zhongzhou is, can it be better than the court? This group of barbarians, Yelang, is arrogant and makes trouble. If you don't remind me, wouldn't you take the court seriously in the future? Don't worry, I know that I won't be embarrassed for him."
Zhu Zongping was relieved when he heard this, but he was just scolding him, and that was fine. His father, the magistrate of Zhongzhou, had something to say, so that he would not cause any major trouble.
"Inspector Zhu, I see that all the monks outside know the matter. After hearing what I said, they are waiting there honestly, so they should not cause trouble. But just be careful, you should take care of it."
Zhu Zongping responded to the promise and smiled bitterly to Xu Ping: "The magistrate, the subordinates thought that it was not those who were fair and well-informed, and most of them did not understand Chinese. The reason why they stayed honestly was because we captured Huang Yanei, and those people were afraid that their master would have an accident. Unlike us Han people, if the master had an accident, these people would be afraid that they would not be able to spare their lives when they went back to Huang Zhizhou. For their own lives, these people would stay honestly."
Xu Ping remembered that he couldn't speak well. He used to be familiar with mantras who could speak Chinese, but he forgot about this. It turned out that he was wasting his saliva just now.
When Gao Daquan heard Zhu Zongping's words, he suddenly glared at Huang Conggui, who was jumping on his feet and chanting: "Is this barbarian scolding me in barbarian words? It's so tight!"
Huang Conggui was startled and did not dare to jump anymore. He just lowered his head and whispered in local dialect, and occasionally glanced at Gao Daquan.
Xu Ping glanced at Huang Conggui, smiled and said to Zhu Zongping and Li Anren, "This barbarian looks interesting. I have something to ask him. You guard the village gate, especially if you have to keep a close eye on the barbarian soldiers outside, so you must not cause trouble."
Then he turned around and said, "Gao Daquan, bring that barbarian to the prison room!"
Zhu Zongping was startled and hurriedly said, "Prime Minister, don't torture Huang Yanei, otherwise it would be no small matter to make trouble in Zhongzhou! My small patrol camp cannot defeat nearly a thousand soldiers in Zhongzhou!"
"I just scared him, let the barbarians know awe in the future. Just watch the village gate."
After saying that, Xu Ping went straight into a prison room next to him.
Gao Daquan came to Huang Conggui in two steps, grabbed him, lifted him up like an eagle catching a chicken, followed Xu Ping into the prison room, and threw it heavily on the ground.
Huang Conggui got up from the ground, looked at the messy torture instruments on both sides, his whole body curled up in a ball and leaned against the corner of the wall, and looked at Xu Ping tremblingly: "You - dare to torture me? I dare to hit me, my father can't spare you! Thousands of soldiers and horses in Zhongzhou will be lit up and flatten your Yongzhou!"
Xu Ping sighed: "This child has been spoiled since childhood. He dares to say anything ruthless. If he doesn't scold him, he will sooner or later cheat Huang Zhizhou. Zhongzhou is always under Yongzhou's control. How dare you say anything to send troops to fight? Isn't this a rebellion?"
Huang Conggui didn't dare to speak anymore, but just bulged his mouth and looked at Xu Ping with his eyes shining fiercely. He looked rebellious, and he had no idea about rebellion. The barbarians fought all year round, with the powerful annexing the weak, and robbing money, grain and population. It was common. Huang Conggui had seen a lot of this, and he thought of Yongzhou like the barbarians' state. If he provoked me, he would beat you.
Since Emperor Zhenzong was frightened by the Khitans in Chanyuan, he has been deeply disgusted with the war and issued an edict to Guangnan area that these places are places that do not live in. The barbarians have unspeakable customs and fight with each other. Local officials can only persuade them to reconcile and not participate. This is actually a way to steal the bells, which is to give up power of governance and exchange for short-term peace, which makes some barbarian forces grow bigger, and finally caused a disaster in the Renzong Dynasty.
Under this policy, the barbarians were used to being rebellious and almost forgot the existence of the Song Dynasty court and did whatever they wanted in their territory. If it weren't for the first time when Cao Keming was the governor of Yongzhou, he had been beheaded by the chief of Ruhongdong because he refused to obey orders and left his reputation, the Yongzhou government would be even more unstoppable.
It was because Xu Ping knew this that he wanted to deal with Huang Conggui today. The geographical location of the county is very special. It is surrounded by mountains, a valley facing northeast and southwest. There is a mountain pass to Xuanhua County in the northeast, which is the location of Yongzhou City, and a mountain pass to the southwest. Zhongzhou is the one that blocks the mountain pass. If the barbarians in Zhongzhou are not punished, they will inevitably harass them in the future.
After finding a stool to sit down, Xu Ping said to Gao Daquan: "Gao Daquan, go and catch Huang Xiaoyanei. I have something to say to him in person."
Gao Daquan responded to his promise and strode to Huang Conggui.
"What are you doing? What are you going to do?"
Huang Conggui said, while huddling his body hard into the corner of the wall. If there was a mouse hole in the corner of the wall, he would be afraid that he would get in immediately.
Gao Daquan didn't care about him? Huang Conggui just said in local dialect, and Gao Daquan always suspected that he had scolded him for his particularly vicious words.
With a big hand, he grabbed one of Huang Conggui's arm, Gao Daquan lifted him up, threw it in front of Xu Ping, and cursed: "This guy is used to being arrogant at home. If you don't hit a few sticks, give him some slap, I'm afraid he won't talk well!"
After saying that, he lifted up the military staff beside the wall.
Huang Conggui looked at Gao Daquan and lifted the military staff. His pupils were so frightened that he looked a little reflective. He shouted like crazy: "You dare to hit me! You dare to hit me! No one has hit me since he was a child!"
Xu Ping shouted to Gao Daquan: "Put down the military staff! Xiao Yanei is also a person with status. How can he use these rough punishments? People say I don't understand the truth!"
Seeing that Huang Conggui was still shouting, Xu Ping asked Gao Daquan to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, he saw Zhu Zongping and Li Anren looking here in horror.
Xu Ping smiled and said to the two of them, "You can see clearly. Huang Yanei didn't even slap him. I think he's used to calling him at home. I thought I was his father, so I would let him go if he screamed fiercely!"
Zhu Zongping and Li Anren said to Xu Ping awkwardly: "What a magistrate, how can you be without a sense of qualifying in your work? Let's look at the barbarian soldiers outside."
