Northern Song Dynasty gangster: Start the game with a dog's head, and Mr. Bao spares his life

"We also put in a lot of effort to wipe out the bandits this time, but Lord Hou only rewarded those outsiders from Jingxiang."

"We old brothers guarding Hangzhou, but he turned a blind eye, is he too partial?"

"Besides, so many brothers in the army are single, yet Cao Houye took the young woman away for exclusive use, isn't that too insincere?"

As soon as these words came out, it immediately aroused the resonance of many soldiers.

Seeing that there were people in the army supporting them, the refugees suddenly became bolder and shouted:

"I think the person surnamed Cao is simply uneasy and well-intentioned..."

"Yes, we are always hungry and not full. This is not a thing? We must ask for an explanation!"

Hearing Li Dujian's words, the young general was stunned for a moment, then took a deep look at him, and seeing that most of the refugees showed resentment, he couldn't help feeling annoyed, and shouted angrily:

"Do you still have a conscience? You were held hostage by Fang La, and you were already guilty. Who saved you?"

"Your food was robbed by Fang La, even if you are sent back, do you have any food at home?"

"If it wasn't for Marquis Cao, you would have starved to death long ago."

"What kind of benevolent people do you think are really so kind? Give you food for nothing?"

Although he knew that among the refugees, there were rumors and troubles, but so many people didn't know the truth, and it was so easy to believe the rumors to accuse Cao Bin, which still made him very angry.

I didn't ask you to work, so it is a great kindness to give you two bowls of porridge.

With the current living conditions, even if you rest at home by yourself, you won't ask for enough food and drink.

Aren't you full to make a fuss over this kind of thing?

After finishing speaking, he was still puzzled, pointed to the soldiers behind Li Dujian and said:

"And you."

"Do you have any credit, don't you know?"

"Based on your foolish appearance, you can't do anything. Why should Lord Hou give you rewards?"

Most of the people who followed Li Dujian to find fault were the former Forbidden Army in Hangzhou, and they were all veterans.

After Lu Junyi arrived in Hangzhou, he felt that they were too difficult to cultivate, so he selected some and focused his energy on the newly recruited soldiers.

Seeing that the young general's words became more and more straightforward, Li Dujian's subordinates were all anxious, and said without hesitation:

"You are the dog promoted by Cao Bin, of course you speak to him?"

"A mud-legged person, dare to talk to Lord Dujian like this, do you want to die..."

As he was speaking, the young general suddenly pulled out his knife and shouted angrily:

"Presumptuous! How dare you insult Lord Hou."

At the same time, another shout suddenly sounded from outside the camp.

"Bold!"

Before that Dutou could react, he saw a figure like a giant tiger rushing over and kicked him flying.

Seeing Cao Bin come in with his hands behind his back, Li Dujian broke out in a cold sweat, and secretly complained, those patriarchs are too unreliable, why did this master come so fast?

The refugees and soldiers have not been fully mobilized yet.

Although he had the guts to plan a conspiracy behind his back, he knew Cao Bin's power and prestige in the army, so he never dared to confront him face to face.

Not to mention Cao Bin, even his subordinates could tear him apart.

So, without any hesitation, he knelt down and pleaded guilty with a "puff", tremblingly said:

"Waiting... Hou Ye, the last general..."

Cao Bin ignored him, but looked at the endless refugees, and they also became quiet at this moment.

Although I dare not say it clearly, there is still resentment in my eyes...

But apart from resentment, they were mostly filled with fear. After all, Fang La, a devil-like character, was beaten to pieces by Cao Bin.

At this time, a group of officials including Hangzhou Zhizhou and the head of the gentry rushed in and were not stopped.

"Master Cao, why are you here?"

Cao Bin said with a smile: "If I don't come again, the refugee camp will be turned upside down."

As he said that, he did not hesitate, turned his head and shouted to the refugees:

"Don't you guys want to be kind to Wang Dashan? Very good! This Marquis agrees."

Anyway, most of the people who can be used have been picked by him.

Since they were willing to trust the local gentry, he was happy to do so.

When the young general heard the words earlier, he immediately became anxious, and hurriedly said:

"Master Hou, these people are ungrateful..."

Cao Bin waved his hand and interrupted him directly. In fact, he didn't care about these refugees being ungrateful or ungrateful. It's just human nature.

Most of the people are like this too, there is no right or wrong to say, since Cao Bin has expected them to be allowed to go, it is exactly what he can take advantage of...

Hearing Cao Bin's words, not only the gentry, but even the refugees were stunned. They didn't expect Cao Bin to speak so easily.

Even Li Dujian breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he was fine. He was about to get up when Cao Bin waved his hand and said:

"Come here, arrest all these rebellious soldiers and wait for their disposal... Those who refuse to accept will be killed on the spot."

Deputy Superintendent Li was dumbfounded, and begged for mercy:

"Master Hou, I've been wronged, wronged!"

"Patriarch Wang, save me..."

Just as he was talking, Lu Junyi kicked over, waved his hand and said:

"Take it!"

On the other side, Yan Qing took a step forward, drew the knife and cut off the head of the one who spoke rudely, handed it to Lu Junyi and said:

"General, and this."

Lu Junyi immediately reacted and quickly took it.

Seeing this, all the gentry and officials shuddered, and even the refugees were too frightened to speak out, looking at Cao Bin and the others with fear...

At this time, in the Tianbo Mansion in the capital.

The entire Yang family was beaming, because news came from the Northland that not only Yang Zongbao had escaped unscathed, but also completed the mission perfectly.

In any case, this is considered a great achievement.

However, being impeached is also certain, after all, the imperial court will never allow sending troops without going through the central government.

Even if the emperor approves, they will not agree.

It depends on the emperor's strength, after all, this is to help him under the pressure of the entire court.

Moreover, Cao Bin also gave follow-up arrangements in the letter.

Eighth Sister Yang said excitedly:

"Mother, Cao Bin said in the letter that if there are no accidents, Zong Bao will be promoted to the title this time. Is this true?"

Although the Yang family has three titles, the key to the family's prosperity lies in Yang Zongbao.

With this hereditary marquis, it can be passed on for several generations, the weight will increase a lot, and it will be easier to be an official.

Madam She shook her head and said:

"Mother doesn't expect Zong Bao to be promoted to a title, as long as the court doesn't question the Yang family, I will be content."

"It's too early to say these things, but this is a meritorious service for the country, even if the court doesn't recognize it, it's worth it."

Although she spoke very reservedly, there was still joy in her eyes.

It's not that she has any greed for power and official position.

It's just that after the death of the old Linggong, the Yang family went from bad to worse, and there were no more males. Being able to honor her ancestors is still very attractive to her.

However, she was also a little worried.

In the past, any accidents in the Yang family were defended by Kou Zhun and other loyal ministers, but this time they were more or less offended.

It's not that they don't want to completely rely on the emperor and become the emperor's confidants.

But they don't know the means of flattery.

Without the help of Kou Zhun and others, once some treacherous officials succeeded in slandering, the emperor would immediately forget their achievements, which is a bit unreliable.

The royal family is ruthless, so choosing to be a lone minister is not a good choice.

This is also the reason why they had a lot of worries after receiving Cao Bin's letter. The risk in it was too great.

The third mother of the Yang family laughed when she heard the words:

"Don't worry, Mrs. Cao Bin, I think Cao Bin's arrangement this time is very appropriate."

"Dasong Daily will report in detail the whole story of this negotiation and create public opinion."

"Everyone in the world will understand our painstaking efforts and loyalty, and it will be very difficult for the imperial court to risk the displeasure of the world..."

Mu Guiying also nodded in agreement:

"Da Song Daily has already started to build momentum secretly, and it has given the imperial court enough face. Presumably, the imperial court will not hold on to it."

"Cao Bin is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, so it's rare for him to be so thoughtful."

Hearing this, Eighth Sister Yang was secretly proud, but also a little dissatisfied and said:

"Cao Bin has always planned cleverly. When did something go wrong? Guiying, you are a little proud."

Mu Guiying was so depressed by what she said, she was a little speechless and said:

"Yes, you are right!"

She was too lazy to argue with Eighth Sister Yang, and she thought she knew Cao Bin well.

Although Cao Bin often shows unexpected abilities, she can always find some flaws and embarrassments, so she won't praise her for no reason like Yang Bajie.

But Cao Bin planned so hard this time, she couldn't help being moved and grateful, especially after seeing Yang Zongbao's reply...

Time passed and a few days passed, and the second wave of messengers from the Liao people finally arrived in Bianjing.

On this day, the gatekeepers of Tianbo Mansion suddenly reported:

"Old Madam, Master Kou is visiting."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and they all knew the purpose of Kou Zhun's visit, probably to Xingshi to ask questions,

Old Madam She smiled wryly and said:

"Come with me to greet you!"

After Kou Zhun came in, he didn't show anything unusual. After drinking a cup of tea, he shook his head and said:

"Old Madam, it's not that I'm being rude. Although you are also thinking about Song, this disaster is indeed a bit serious."

Before the girls got nervous, Kou Zhun said again:

"Thanks to this success, I still have room to negotiate with Wang Xiang. If a war between Song and Liao is triggered, have you considered the consequences?"

When everyone heard the words, their expressions relaxed, and Eighth Sister Yang quickly asked:

"Since Mr. Kou said so, the court will not pursue it? Does this count as credit?"

Kou Zhun nodded and said:

"It's not easy for the Liao Kingdom to bow its head. Don't worry, the Yang family still deserves some credit."

"The imperial court will not humiliate heroes..."

Before everyone was happy, Kou Zhun continued:

"This officer is here for Eighth Sister."

"The young hero Zhang Wen, the nephew of Li Zhaoming, Marquis of Zhongwu, who comes from a famous family, isn't he a good match?"

When Eighth Sister Yang heard this, her face suddenly changed...
