The people in their village only worry about having enough food, clothing and warmth, and working to make money. They are in the capital, but they have to care about their interests and cheat each other all day long. The bandit figured this out, and felt even more distressed for Ding Yanshan.
It's just that the distance between the mud at the foot of the mountain and the flowers on the top of the mountain is indeed far, too far.
For several days in a row, the county government did not come to make any trouble. This made the bandit breathe a little easier, and it also allowed him to spend time with Ding Yanshan. But on the fifth day, Li Yuanguang, the county magistrate, came again.
This time he still brought a large number of people and even prepared a gorgeous carriage.
When Ding Yanshan saw this, her heart skipped a beat.
"Miss Ding is rich and expensive, so it is really inappropriate to stay in this remote and impoverished village for a long time. The girl said that the guards at home will come to pick her up, but I am worried that something will happen to the girl in this wild place before they arrive. If the girl cannot be protected well, It's the official's dereliction of duty, how should I explain to the girl's house at that time?"
The bandit was shocked when he heard that, he glanced at Ding Yanshan, and saw that her face was also grim, as he guessed.
The county magistrate couldn't clean it up, so he wanted to use this pretext to separate Ding Yanshan from the village under house arrest
"I decided to protect the girl, so I specially dispatched the best carriage in the county to pick her up. The girl can live in the county town, and there will be maids and servants to serve her. If she is interested, she can go anywhere Play around, wait for the guards at home to arrive, and I will personally send you out of the city."
"My lord really knows how to talk about scenes. You want to send me away, and then slowly vent your anger?" Ding Yanshan made the matter clear.
Li Yuanguang smiled and said: "The girl is overthinking. It's really a rural place, so it's not suitable for girls to live here. I have a distinguished guest here, if I don't greet and treat me well, how can I explain to the family?"
"What if I don't want to go?"
"What did the girl say? I sincerely invite you. How can the girl refuse?"
Ding Yanshan stared at Li Yuanguang's smiling face, knowing that something was wrong. She herself is fine, Li Yuanguang dare not touch her now. But he was going to cut her off from the village, and there was really nothing she could do about what he would do to the village. But if she doesn't leave, there will be conflicts between the two sides. It seems that Li Yuanguang can't find anything out of the excuses he used to pick her up, but the villagers have a big fight with them, and I'm afraid they will leave evidence of crimes. If they are liquidated in the future, this village will be in trouble. bigger.
Ding Yanshan didn't speak, she stared at Li Yuanguang, her mind was spinning rapidly.
At this moment, the bandit suddenly stood up from Ding Yanshan, turned around and saluted Ding Yanshan, "Miss, the Governor asked Miss to wait for him here. It seems inappropriate for Miss to play around without saying hello."
Ding Yanshan was taken aback, then blinked.
Li Yuanguang narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Who are you?"
"Little Zhao Wenfu is Miss's bodyguard." The bandit changed from his usual reckless manner, and pretended to be a servant with low eyebrows.
"Lie." Master Chen yelled from the side, "You are clearly from Zhao Family Village, why did you become a guard?"
"Can't people from Zhaojia Village be guards?" the bandit asked, "Which law or decree is this master talking about?"
Master Chen was stunned, but before he could speak, the bandit said again: "Miss spent money to hire me, and I will be her bodyguard. Since I am her bodyguard, I naturally want to protect her safety. My lord wants to invite me as a guest. I don't know how to arrange the itinerary? Where is the residence planned? These have to be discussed before the lady can start. In addition, we have to report all the whereabouts to the capital. Also, Governor Liu also sent a letter saying that he would come Someone picked up the lady to be a guest. If the lady left with you today, it would be difficult to explain why someone came from the governor's side. So it stands to reason that you have to discuss with Governor Liu before you can leave."
Ding Yanshan couldn't help laughing after hearing what the bandit said.
He thought of this method because he wanted to protect her. He became her bodyguard, whether she would be taken away or not, he had reason to be by her side to protect her.
Ding Yanshan suddenly felt that she understood his thoughts. Although he didn't say it, she understood.
She couldn't help feeling hot in her heart. How long has it been? How long has it been since no one has protected her as sincerely as he did
Li Yuanguang didn't know what Ding Yanshan was thinking, so he sneered at the bandit: "You are worrying too much, even if you are a guard, you can't control the affairs of the master's family. It is for the sake of the lady that I invite you to visit my house." Safety and comfort are considered. When people come from the capital, I will also invite them to the house. Do you think you can really keep distinguished guests in this remote and impoverished village? Speaking of the governor, I know that he has been lately. I'm busy with business, I don't know when I sent the letter to the young lady to let the young lady be a guest? If there is such a thing, I can also do it for you and send the young lady to Baofeng City."
The bandit choked, but couldn't think of any good solution, so he turned to look at Ding Yanshan.
Ding Yanshan was also looking at him, and she smiled at him. That smile was so beautiful that the bandit's face became hot, but he couldn't bear to look away.
"My lord." Ding Yanshan said, "Governor Liu did invite me to Baofeng City as a guest, but not for these two days. We know that we don't say dark words, your son committed a crime, you can't swallow this breath, you You want to take this village to kill Shawei, but I block the way, you can't swallow this breath. You want to take me away, whether you invite me as a guest or want to imprison me, I will not do what you want, I Let me tell you, even though you really don't recognize me, I'm definitely something you can't offend. That day I made it clear to your master that if you move the village, I will definitely come back with revenge, and if you move me, my family will surely Come back with revenge. You have to clean us up and leave no clues, so that my family can't find a handle. You don't have the ability. So, I sincerely advise you, instead of pressing hard, it's better to accept it when it's good, and take advantage of the situation It's not too much trouble, you and I have the right to pretend that nothing happened, and we live in peace, wouldn't it be good?"
Li Yuanguang's face was ashen, and his heart was on fire. Let this girl reveal all the matter, or in front of the villagers and his subordinates, if this incident passes like this, what face and majesty will he have in front of them in the future
Li Yuanguang gritted his teeth, no matter what, he brought people here today, so he can't go back empty-handed. If this girl is telling the truth, if he lets them go, he will suffer disaster in the future, so it is better to take the risk.
Thinking about it this way, Li Yuanguang said to Ding Yanshan: "I have good intentions, it doesn't matter if the girl doesn't understand right now, after I pick the girl up and take care of her until your family comes to pick her up, the girl will gradually understand my painstaking efforts. " After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and several officials rushed forward, wanting Latin Yanshan to get into the carriage.
The bandits swung their arms and pushed their palms, knocking down two of them immediately. He stood in front of Ding Yanshan and shouted: "Who dares to act rashly!"
Seeing this scene, Li Yuanguang became even more angry, and shouted: "You are so courageous!"
"You are so courageous!" Ding Yanshan scolded, her posture was stronger than him, "I don't want to leave, how dare you kidnap someone?"
At this time, Ding Yanshan felt a little regretful, she underestimated the power of this small place, she thought she could hold it down by saying that, but she forgot, this is not the capital city after all. This official is small and ignorant, so he is bold enough to go all out. She made a mistake, and she inspired the villain's courage.
Sure enough, Li Yuanguang was about to go all out, he shouted loudly, and the officials came up with knives.
When the villagers saw this scene, the old and young, women and children dodged one after another, and the young and strong men also started to fuck, and followed the bandits to fight the officials.
Everyone got into a ball, and Ding Yanshan yelled: "Stop, stop!" She wanted to help them, but things seemed to be getting worse and worse. Is she really useless? Could she not even keep a kind little village
No one listened to her, and the officials couldn't help but the villagers naturally couldn't catch her without a fight. Ding Yanshan was helpless, she went to Li Yuanguang, and begged: "My lord, everything is easy to discuss, you tell them to stop first."
Li Yuanguang triumphantly said, "Miss, have you figured it out now?"
Ding Yanshan nodded, approached him, and said: "Sir, tell them to stop."
Li Yuanguang smiled, and was about to ridicule her, when he suddenly saw her turn around, and then her wrist hurt, her right arm was strangled behind her, and a gleaming dagger was resting on his neck. Ding Yanshan said viciously: "Tell them to stop!"
Li Yuanguang never expected such a thing to happen, he was so frightened that he almost lost his soul, he shouted in shock: "Stop, stop!"
Everyone stopped, stunned by the scene in front of them.
"I'm being polite to you, so you just think I'm easy to bully?" Ding Yanshan pressed the dagger, making Li Yuanguang's legs weak in fright, "You let all your officials quit."
Li Yuanguang yelled repeatedly, and the officials obeyed the order to retreat.
Ding Yanshan said again: "Although Governor Liu didn't invite me as a guest these two days, I sent someone to invite him in the past two days. I wanted to wait for him to come and we would deal with this matter, but you insisted on forcing the situation away." Make it like this."
"We... we can wait for him now." Li Yuanguang's voice trembled.
"I have to wait for him to come, but I have to wrong my lord." Ding Yanshan gritted her teeth, "Before he comes, I have to let my lord stay here as a guest."
Everyone was taken aback.
The officials did not dare to move, and neither did the villagers. It is one thing to resist foreign invasion, but it is another thing to hijack the court officials.
But the bandit moved. He rushed over with a stride, twisted both of Li Yuanguang's arms behind him, and twisted them tightly. In fact, Ding Yanshan didn't have much strength, if Li Yuanguang struggled hard, he would be able to get out of trouble, but he was timid and afraid of death, he was frightened, didn't react, and didn't dare to move, this gave the bandit a chance.
As soon as the bandit made a move, Li Yuanguang really couldn't break free.
But Ding Yanshan was dissatisfied: "This is what I did, and it has nothing to do with the villagers."
"It has nothing to do with them. It has nothing to do with me." The bandit replied very seriously.
Her matter is related to him.
His eyes were clear and sincere, Ding Yanshan sank into his eyes and froze.
"You... you are hijacking the imperial court official, and you are going to behead him." Li Yuanguang now realized that he was trembling and yelling.
Ding Yanshan ignored him, she looked at the bandit.
The bandit ignored him, and he looked at Ding Yanshan.
Li Yuanguang twisted and struggled, but he couldn't move. He yelled: "If you don't let me go soon, there will be good fruits in the future."
Ding Yanshan came back to her senses and was about to speak when she saw several fine horses galloping towards her, and the man who looked like a bodyguard immediately shouted loudly: "Lord Governor Liu is here, what happened here?"
Everyone was stunned, until they saw a large number of officials in fine clothes coming on horseback with a carriage, and then they felt real.
The savior has finally arrived!
Things after that are much simpler.
Ergou, who successfully completed the task, was warmly welcomed by the villagers.
Governor Liu Pingwei got off the carriage and walked towards Ding Yanshan. Li Yuanguang thought he was coming towards him, but unexpectedly the first sentence the governor said was: "Second Miss."
Li Yuanguang's heart trembled, and he knew he was going to be in trouble.
He really is bad. Liu Pingwei made a bold move, investigated his crimes, searched his evidence, searched the village and county towns, found several things he committed, followed him to expose the corrupt officials above him, and uncovered all the connections .
People in Zhaojia Village were excited and beaming. But the bandit couldn't be happy because he knew that it was time for Ding Yanshan to leave.
Sure enough, Liu Pingwei wanted to send someone to send Ding Yanshan back to the capital, so naturally Ding Yanshan couldn't refuse.
On that day, the village prepared gifts in large and small packages, saying goodbye to this noble man. Aunt Ding held Ding Yanshan's hand and cried all the way.
Everyone sent Ding Yanshan to the other side of the mountain road before reluctantly returning.
The bandit didn't see her off, he ran to the top of the Black Mountain and looked in the direction of the capital from afar. It was too far there, farther than the distance from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain.
The bandit was in a daze on the mountain. He suddenly remembered something. He ran all the way to Mrs. Ding's house. He looked outside the house where Ding Yanshan used to live. There was no sign of the pot of grass on the window sill.
The bandit's heart beat wildly, and then, his heart was filled with sadness—Ding Yanshan left.
The bandit felt empty in his heart, as if there was something, and followed her away.
Zhaojia Village regained its calm.
The villagers are the same as in the past, working at sunrise and resting at sunset, life is no longer ordinary.
Not long after, the new county magistrate took office and even made a special trip to Zhaojia Village to visit. Although Ding Yanshan left, and although Liu Pingwei never came again, the new county magistrate also regarded this village as different from others, thinking that it must be a place with backstage care.
Life in Zhaojia Village is getting better and better, but the bandits are getting more and more silent. He no longer played tricks of blocking roads and robbing, and he no longer led his brothers to run all over the mountain, and he became much calmer.
He often squats at the foot of the mountain and looks at the lush green grass. He often looks up at the top of the mountain and the small wild flowers blooming on the top of the mountain. He often wonders what the beautiful girl is doing at the moment.
He missed her like a fish misses water.
The bandit's father also saw that something was wrong with the bandit, and he beat up the bandit: "You silly bastard, don't look at yourself, who is that girl, who are you?" , stop thinking about useless things, hurry up and start a family, and let me hug my grandson."
The bandit doesn't want to start a family, but he knows that he is really old. He thought about finding someone casually, but the aunts and aunts helped to tell him that he really didn't have much energy.
Those girls were not as beautiful as Ding Yanshan, nor as smart as her, nor as noble and capable as her.
Most importantly, none of them made his heart pound.
几门亲都没有说成功，山贼老爹又把山贼揍了，他听了山贼拒婚的理由后，更是狠揍了他一顿：“你这小王八羔子，去哪里学的These are messy. What do you mean it didn't make your heart beat? Is it okay for me to beat you? Let you marry a wife, not let you go to the battlefield. What is your heart beating? When I married your mother, Haven’t met each other before, isn’t it a good time? How can you be so picky and picky, you think you are a prince and grandson, and the girls can still line up for you to choose?”
The bandit was beaten to bed for three days.
In the past three days, he had a good time to reflect on himself. What happened to him
He likes to look at beautiful girls, but now he feels that even if a girl more beautiful than Ding Yanshan is placed in front of him, he will not be happy.
No, no, how could there be a more beautiful girl than her? In his heart, she is the most beautiful and the most beautiful.
Besides, in the past, even if he saw a beautiful girl, he would just let it go if he was happy, but now that he is so worried, how will he live in the future
The bandit recovered from his injury and squatted in the grass at the foot of Montenegro for three days. He finally realized a truth. He smiled happily, went home, packed his luggage, borrowed a horse from a fellow villager, and rode out of the village amidst his father's scolding, heading straight for the capital.
The bandits traveled day and night, doing coolies along the way in exchange for accommodation and food, saving money and working hard, and finally came to the capital.
The capital city is more magnificent than the bandit imagined, but it is also less popular than the bandit imagined.
He was dressed in plain clothes, and he had already seen a lot of supercilious stares within two days of coming here. What made him even more angry was that he also heard a lot of bad things about Ding Yanshan.
Said that there is no good person in her Ding family, that she has been arrogant and savage since she was a child, and said that her family will only be punished after doing all the bad things. Said that she liked a man named Long Erye, and she stayed unmarried until eighteen because of him, but they didn't want her and married a blind girl. He also said that she had been robbed by robbers, and she was not innocent for a long time. It is also said that she has suffered so many things and still has no sense of shame, and she actually wanted to marry into the Zhou family. Unfortunately, the old lady of the Zhou family is a powerful person, and Ding Yanshan's wishful thinking was wrong.
The bandit was squatting in the corner eating noodles at that time, and while eating, he heard the group of women chattering in the noodle shop. They talked about the bad things about each family, about which girl was not pleasing to the eye, and who was going to marry a concubine, and they talked about Ding Yanshan. In short, the final conclusion is that if Ding Yanshan is able to marry now, it is her good fortune to be a partial house.
The bandit was very angry, but he still finished the bowl of noodles. After eating the noodles, he went to the back kitchen to put bowls, and then helped the old noodle shop chop firewood, moved a few bags of rice noodles on the cart, and filled the water tank again. After finishing his work, he greeted the old man and went out.
He waited outside for a while, and the gossiping women finally left, and the bandit quietly followed the two most talkative people to their house. Then he sneaked in quietly, sprinkled two handfuls of sand in each of their rice jars, took her family's oil, and poured it into her water jar.
After doing this, the bandit is in a much better mood. Humming a ditty, he sauntered out of the city to enjoy the scenery. There are mountains in the distance, but it is not his hometown. That mountain is lush and lush, there must be green grass everywhere, there must be flowers blooming like brocade, and it must be full of mud.
The bandit looked at the mountain scenery, touched his clothes, looked down, and saw the rough cloth shoes on his feet.
He is a countryman, he is the mud at the foot of the mountain, if he comes to look for Ding Yanshan with this appearance, it may damage her reputation again. The bandit crossed his legs and took a piece of grass in his mouth, thinking seriously about what to do.
He wants to see her, and he has a moral that he wants to tell her.
On the second day, the bandit inquired with the old man of the noodle shop, and asked that there was a very famous blind girl in the capital. He heard that she was extremely intelligent and had a younger sister who was a flower girl.
The boss immediately knew who he was asking: "That's the second wife of the Dragon Mansion, that younger sister doesn't sell flowers, she married a guard of the Dragon Mansion, and moved into the Dragon Mansion together with the old mother to live a good life."
"Oh, oh." The bandit responded. In fact, he is not interested in any wife or sister, he just wants to ask where the Dragon Mansion is.
The old man in the noodle shop liked the young man very much. He worked hard and didn't need wages, so he took care of his three meals of noodles and borrowed a woodshed for him to sleep in, which was considered a strong labor for nothing. Now that I heard him ask these questions, I told him.
So the bandit went to Long Mansion and asked to see Mrs. Long Er.
The bandit's meeting with Mrs. Long Er was not smooth. First the concierge asked who he was and what he did when he saw his wife. He said what the old man in the noodle shop said. He was an old friend of Mrs. Long Er's friend and wanted to ask Mrs. Long for a favor.
The concierge asked which friend it was, but the bandit was careful, saying that the matter was of great importance, and he could only speak when he saw his wife. The concierge thought for a while, and finally went in to report.
The bandits waited and waited, and the concierge came back, bringing an old man, who he called "Master Tie".
Chief Tie asked the bandit the same question, who is he and what does he do when he sees his wife. The bandit said it again. Chief Tie asked who the friend was again, but the bandit didn't say anything, he just said that the man had said it, and he could only go to his wife for this matter.
Chief Tie frowned, told him to wait, and turned back to the mansion.
The bandit grew up so big, he had never knocked on the door of such a big family, and he didn't know that he had to go through several checkpoints before asking to see someone.
