Tan Tianyu is still waiting to ask what, Wu Bai has already spoken one step ahead and said to Xiao Zimo: "Sir, I will tie up these bandits on the ground first, and then hand them over to you to deal with them."
"Okay." Xiao Zimo agreed.
After a while, Wu Bai neatly tied up all these people and blocked their mouths with these socks.
"Sir, I counted them carefully. There are twenty-six of them in total. What should I do next?" Wu Bai looked at Xiao Zimo and asked.
Xiao Zimo glanced at his two carriages, thought for a moment, then looked at Tan Tianyu, and said politely, "I don't know your surname?"
Tan Tianyu quickly replied: "My surname is Tan, my name is Tianyu, the adults can just call me Tianyu."
"Okay, Mr. Tan, can this officer please help you to send these bandits to the county office together?" .Xiao Zimo asked.
Tan Tianyu's face changed, and he returned to calm: "It is my duty to be able to do things for the adults."
After arranging these bandits, Xiao Zimo walked to the carriage behind, opened the curtain, and saw the three people inside hugged tightly, shivering.
It was Xiao’s father, Xiao’s mother, and the driver. This driver was hired by Xiao Zimo Hua Yinzi, not his family.
Feeling someone lift the curtain, Father Xiao looked out tremblingly and found that it was Xiao Zimo, he was relieved and asked, "Son, how is it outside?"
Seeing them like this, Xiao Zimo comforted: "The bandits outside have been resolved, you don't have to worry, we will continue on our way."
.Hearing Xiao Zimo say that he can continue on his way, the driver slowly let go of his clasping hands, slowly came to the door of the car, stuck his head out and looked out, and as expected, he found that the bandits were tied up, and he was completely relieved. On to the carriage, waiting for the journey.
Xiao's father and Xiao's mother were so frightened this time that they were still stiff at the moment, so they didn't come out to take a look. They still sat in the same position, but they were still relieved in the bottom of their hearts.
Seeing them like this, Xiao Zimo didn't say anything, he silently lowered the curtain of the car, walked to the position of the car in front, and told the driver who also hid under the car to come out and hurry.
.The driver saw Wu Bai knock down the bandits to the ground. He didn't hide under the car at the time. Later, he heard the sound of Tan Tianyu's hoofs. It was the companion of the group of bandits, who suspected that Wu Bai could not handle it alone, so he hid under the car.
It is safe now, even if there is no order from Xiao Zimo, he still intends to come out.
Wu Bai followed Xiao Zimo into his carriage, the group was ready, Xiao Zimo gave an order, and the carriage slowly ran.
As for the group of bandits, they were taken by Tan Tianyu and the others, each of them threw one on the horse's back, which easily solved the problem of Xiao Zimo's lack of manpower.
A group of people riding horses, riding a carriage, riding a carriage, the speed is not slow, and soon arrived in Puchang County.
.At the entrance of the county government office, Xiao Zimo took out a document to prove his identity as a magistrate.
Xiao Zimo waved his hand and said, "No, find a few people to put these bandits in the prison first."
When the county magistrate heard it, he did not dare to delay, and quickly called a few yamen to come over, and personally led them to put these mountain bandits in jail.
When the county magistrate took the people away, Xiao Zimo turned to Tan Tianyu and said, "I'm really thankful to Mr. Tan this time. I'll be the host another day, and I'll treat you to a drink."
"Tan does not dare to take credit, but it is an honor for Tan to be invited by adults to drink. Tan is willing to wait for good news." Tan Tianyu replied with a smile on his face.
After he finished speaking, he rode on the horse with a group of his men and turned to leave.
.However, as soon as he turned the horse's head, the smile on Tan Tianyu's face couldn't hold back, and suddenly collapsed.
When he got home, Tan Tianyu lost his temper even more and broke a lot of good things. The anger in his heart could not be quelled, so he rode out the door alone and went to Xushan Village.
Here, Xiao Zimo and the two helped Xiao's father and Xiao's mother from the carriage, and they were completely relieved when they saw the entrance of the county government.
Mother Xiao saw that there was a strange little brother beside her son, and asked, "Son, who is this?"
Xiao Zimo replied: "Mother, this is the person who beat down the bandits and saved our lives just now. His name is..."
"My name is Wu Bai, Auntie, you can just call me Brother Bai." Wu Bai quickly took over the conversation and introduced himself.
.Hearing his son said that it was such a thin and slender brother who rescued them, Xiao's father and Xiao's mother couldn't believe it.
He still followed Xiao Zimo to testify with the coachman in the same carriage, saying that Wu Bai's whip was very good, and he could knock down several bandits with a single whip. Then, the coachman pointed at the rattan whip wrapped around Wu Bai's waist. .
Only then did the old couple dare to believe that Wu Bai, the little brother, really saved their lives, saying thank you again and again.
"No thanks, no thanks." Wu Bai was embarrassed by the thanks and waved his hand.
Seeing Wu Bai's embarrassment, Xiao Zimo quickly changed the subject: "Okay, father, mother, it's getting late, let's hurry in, pack our things, and settle down as soon as possible."
"Yes, yes, we know." The two replied.
.So their group, including the two coachmen, started to carry things and luggage from the back of the carriage.
Wu Bai was not easy to watch, and also stepped forward to help them move things together.
It just so happened that the group of yamen detainees came back, and when they saw them moving things, they hurried over to help with the move. There were so many people and great strength. They moved everything into the backyard of the yamen in one trip. Of course, this was also because their things were originally For less reason.
Xiao Zimo was a peasant in his life. He studied hard for the imperial examinations, and finally got into the jinshi. Before he had time to take the imperial examination, he was retaliated by the other party and was directly assigned by the Ministry of Personnel because he refused to capture his son-in-law from a minister in the court. Go to Puchang County to be the magistrate.
.Fortunately, the reason why Xiao Zimo worked so hard to take the imperial examination was just to hope that his parents would have a good life. Although he is now a county magistrate, he can still make his parents have a good life without having to plan food in the field, so Xiao Zimo has no regrets. , An Xin brought her parents to Puchang County.
Their family was not rich, and naturally there were few things. After moving things, Xiao Zimo ordered the yamen to go down first.
As for the two coachmen, the one who drove Xiao Zimo was the book boy who had the money to buy after he was admitted to the Juren. It was they who spent money to rent in the capital. The other party will rest in the mansion for one night today, and will leave on his own tomorrow.
After arranging a room for his parents, Xiao Zimo asked Wu Bai, "Brother Bai, can you be my bodyguard for a while?Worried that Wu Bai would not agree, Xiao Zimo said again, "I will pay you wages."
He knew at this moment that Wu Bai was actually homeless and was driven out of the village. The other party's little brother was wandering outside alone. He was really worried, so he had to think of a way to let Wu Bai stay.
Wu Bai naturally had nothing to do, and immediately nodded in agreement.
The next day, Xiao's father and Xiao's mother didn't see Wu Bai, and thought he had left, so he asked Xiao Zimo, "Where did Brother Bai go, do you know?"
"He's packing things in his room. He's not free for the time being. Do you want to see him?" Xiao Zimo replied following the words.
"What, you mean he is still staying in the county office?" Mother Xiao asked in surprise.
Xiao Zimo nodded and said, "This brother Bai is good at martial arts. I have hired him to be my bodyguard. Of course he wants to stay."
."Oh, that's right." Mother Xiao nodded her understanding.
Their husband and wife were still discussing how to repay Wu Bai's life-saving grace, but now it's okay, Wu Bai stays in the county office, then they can repay each other well.
"Then did he eat? If not, ask him to come and eat with us." Mother Xiao said.
"He got up early and has already eaten. He shouldn't be hungry now. Mother, you should eat first. I still have something to deal with. If you have any needs, I will ask Pinggui to buy it for you, or if you want If you want to go shopping, you can also ask Ping Gui to come with you and let him carry things for you." Xiao Zimo replied.
"Let Pinggui follow us? What about you, why are you busy here alone?" Father Xiao shook his head and refused to agree.
"Don't worry, Wu Bai is following me, I can ask him to help me if I have something.Xiao Zimo raised his head and replied while arranging his documents. At the end, he remembered something and said solemnly, "Father, mother, you shouldn't say anything about Wu Bai helping us defeat the bandits yesterday, remember to warn Ping later. Gui sound."
"Why don't you let me talk about it?" Xiao's father and Xiao's mother felt a little strange that he was so powerful that he was not allowed to speak out.
"Brother Bai is a little brother after all. If you let others know that he is actually very good at fighting, how will he look at others in the future? They just saved us with their front legs, but we told them about their fights with their back feet. , then what kind of people have we become, right?" Xiao Zimo explained with a thorough analysis.
In fact, his intuition told him that Wu Bai did not hide the fact that he knew martial arts because of this reason, but since Wu Bai wanted to hide it, he naturally had to help him hide it completely.
.Sure enough, when Xiao's father and Xiao's mother heard his son's analysis, he also felt that what he said was quite right. They had just helped them, and they also discussed how to repay them. Pinggui will also be warned to keep it secret.
When they agreed, Xiao Zimo put on his official hat and came to Qianya.
When he arrived, Wu Bai was already waiting for him in the front hall. Apart from Wu Bai, the county magistrate was also waiting here, but Xiao Zimo was stunned as if he hadn't seen the county magistrate, so he first said hello to Wu Bai. , only to find that the county magistrate was also present.
In the eyes of the county magistrate, this is Xiao Zimo's three fires when he took office as a new official, and he wants to use him to establish his prestige.
It's a pity that Xiao Zimo really didn't see him and only discovered him later.
With a bad look on his face, the county magistrate took out the official documents he had dealt with during this period and handed it to Xiao Zimo, and then Hou Li stood aside and did not speak.
.Seeing his bad expression, Xiao Zimo raised his eyebrows and understood why the other party was angry, but he didn't explain it. The county chief misunderstood. After all, he was new here. Bully yourself.
