    Zeng Lingmei said: "Dad! Mr. Gu has agreed to rejoin our escort agency!" A satisfied smile appeared on the corner of Zeng's escort mouth and said: "Thank you sir." "No, I should be the one thanking you." Gu Yezhou said  , "You are at odds with the mountain bandits because of me. I should help the escort agency to resist the mountain gods and the others. Our interests are the same on this point." Zeng escort nodded, looking a little sad: "The mountain gods killed me  Son! We are at odds with each other. This time, either they die or we die!" "Yes, we waited for them to attack the first two times, and we were very passive.  , since we have to deal with the bandits, we must take the initiative, unite the officers and soldiers, and try to wipe them out in one fell swoop! " "Well, the bandits are very powerful, and if we fight head-on, we will lose without the officers and soldiers.  A sneak attack. I will arrange for people to explore the whereabouts of Shan Shen and others." Gu Yezhou thought of the news about Scarface that was most important to him, and asked quickly: "Is there any news about Scarface?" "It was also yesterday.  I just got the news in the evening, and I haven't had time to report it to you yet. I don't know what happened to Scarface, but he defected to the anti-thief Huang Chao's army. I heard that Huang Chao's army was in charge of raising military rations in our area.  They tried their best to buy food from everywhere, and Scarface was one of them." Gu Yezhou's heart sank, but he didn't expect Scarface to have defected to Huang Chao's uprising.  In this way, it would be even more difficult to find him and ask him about the whereabouts of the police car.  Gu Yezhou said: "Isn't Huang Chao's army on the front line of Chang'an? It's so far away from us. Come to us to buy food and transport it to them. I don't know how many times the price will increase. It's not cost-effective." "  He heard that all the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty had surrounded Chang'an and defeated Huang Chao's army outside Chang'an City. Huang Chao retreated to Chang'an. However, he estimated that Huang Chao's army was very short of food.  They have reached the point of killing people and eating them, so they are in urgent need of food." Gu Yezhou nodded. He also knew about killing people and eating them during the Huangchao Uprising. He said that because his army had no food, he would use the people he killed.  The stone mortar was pounded to pieces.  Make human meat cakes and provide them to the soldiers.  But he didn't know whether these records were true.  Zeng Biaotou continued: "I heard that Huang Chao's habit is to walk around and kill wherever he goes. In the past, before he captured Chang'an and proclaimed himself emperor, this was how he would send his men to his residence to buy food. Once he purchased it,  If he brought in a lot of food, he would lead the army to kill them. After they rebelled, they would loot a lot of gold and silver, and it would be easier to buy food in advance.  Those people would move the grain away. This was one of his habits. When his army set out from Guizhou and went north along the Xiang River on a large raft to conquer Tanzhou and advance to the capital, he stopped fighting here.  , so they are very familiar with this area." "This Huang Chao is really cunning." Gu Yezhou returned to the topic he was most concerned about, "Where is Scarface now?" "Not yet, he is.  His whereabouts are uncertain. I don¡¯t know where he is now.¡± Gu Yezhou said: ¡°The chief escort is recovering from his injuries. Now that the riots of the victims in the city have subsided, the city is being searched for the bandits, so the opportunity for the bandits to take advantage has been lost.  They won't come back in time. " "Well, sir, can you please help me with the matters in the escort agency?" "Okay, I will follow the orders of the chief escort officer." "Gu Yezhou doesn't dare to disturb you for too long.  He said goodbye and returned to his residence.  Ning Sanmei was worried about how her parents were doing, so Gu Yezhou said she would go and take a look.  He was also worried about one thing at this time, and that was whether his food had been stolen by bandits.  After he went out alone, he first came to the homes of rice merchants Hu Wanghai and Qiu Fuzu. As expected, both families were attacked by bandits.  Fortunately, this is the second time that bandits have attacked the county. The two rice merchants had already made preparations in advance. On the one hand, they expanded the number of servants and nurses and hired many heroes to help. At the same time, they also spent a lot of money to take care of the people in the county.  The stationed Tang army.  Therefore, when the bandits robbed their two families, they encountered strong resistance. At the same time, the officers and soldiers quickly rushed to reinforce them, and the bandits were unable to succeed.  After Gu Yezhou knew that the food was safe, he breathed a sigh of relief.  When I arrived at the Chenghuang Temple, I found Ning¡¯s father, who was sitting on the ground crying.  It turns out that after Ning¡¯s father saw his son being shot to death by arrows by the officers and soldiers guarding the bank, he escaped and finally hid in a snowdrift.  When the shouts of killing all around stopped and the officers and soldiers had taken control of the county town, he crawled out. However, the freezing weather in the past few hours had almost frozen him.?.  He came out trembling and went to the Yamen to look for his son.  When he arrived at the yamen, officers and soldiers had already taken control of the yamen gate, and corpses were being carried out one by one and dumped in the dam in front of the yamen.  These were the victims who broke into the county government office to steal food and money and were killed.  Ning's father hurriedly went to identify it and found the body of his second son in the pile of dead people. Moreover, all his clothes had been scattered, and it seemed that he had been searched thoroughly. He couldn't help but feel nervous, because half of their land deeds were stored.  On his son's body, he quickly searched carefully again, and sure enough he didn't find a land deed, which made him stamp his feet and cry.  After crying for a while, he did not carry his son's body back, because even if he carried it back, there would be no cemetery for burial. With such heavy snow, no one could bury it, so he could only leave it here.  He returned to the Chenghuang Temple in grief, sat there and cried again. He was heartbroken that his son's property and half of the land deeds had been confiscated.  The person who took away the land deed will definitely not farm it himself, but will sell it to others. After reselling it several times, by the time it can be farmed, the real person cultivating the land is probably no longer the person who stole the land deed.  It was bought with money, so he couldn't let them return it.  In other words, half of the land would be wasted.  He was crying sadly when Gu Yezhou came and asked about the situation. He did not dare to say that when they rushed into the Yamen to rob the bank, his second son was shot to death by random arrows. He only said that he was killed by bandits.  Yes, the body was placed at the gate of the government office.  Gu Yezhou felt sad and said that he would take care of Ning Laoer's funeral. Ning's father was very grateful, and Gu Yezhou returned to the escort agency.  Gu Yezhou told Ning Sanmei that her second brother was shot to death by a bandit. Ning Sanmei burst into tears and wanted to visit. Gu Yezhou took some money and accompanied her back to the City God's Temple to meet Ning's father.  On the way, Gu Yezhou had already asked the man from the coffin shop to transport the coffin. Together they went to the Yamen, found Ning Laoer's body and put it into the coffin.  ¡°Because it¡¯s freezing cold and the snow is deep, it¡¯s really difficult to bury him.  So, just like Ning's mother and Ning's boss before, they were buried in Qingxin Temple, a Buddhist temple in the city.  I was busy until late at night, and then I settled down.  Gu Yezhou originally proposed that Ning's father live with him and Ning Sanmei in the escort agency, but Ning's father was unwilling and said that he could not live on his son-in-law, which would make people laugh at him.  Anyway, I still have half of the land, and I can farm the land to support myself in the future.  If you really don¡¯t have anything to eat, ask them for help.  Hearing what he said, Gu Yezhou couldn¡¯t force himself.  So he used the money to rent a house for him to live in, so that he would no longer have to live on the streets.  That night, Sanmei Ning curled up in Gu Yezhou's arms and cried all night long. She fell asleep at dawn the next day.  Ning Sanmei¡¯s second brother had just died, and the head of the escort agency Zeng¡¯s family was also having a funeral, so Gu Yezhou and Ning Sanmei couldn¡¯t make a fuss about their marriage.  It could be that they had to get married before the Chinese New Year, otherwise they would have to observe mourning for three years, and the Chinese New Year was only a few days away, so they couldn't delay it any longer. Therefore, after discussing it, the two decided to simply get married.  After discussing with Mr. and Mrs. Zeng, Mr. Zeng immediately said that his son¡¯s funeral would be postponed for one day and the wedding of Gu Yezhou and Ning Sanmei would be arranged first.  In this way, Gu Yezhou and the others quickly asked Matchmaker Liu to help with the arrangements. Matchmaker Liu took Gu Yezhou's money and handled the matter very quickly. It only took half a day to arrange everything, because Ning Sanmei's  His home has been destroyed by bandits, and he now lives with Gu Yezhou, so there is no problem of welcoming his bride.  In the Escort Bureau, Gu Yezhou and his companions decorated their residence with lanterns and decorations, invited several tables of banquets, and invited all their relatives and friends.  Captain Tan survived the riot because of Gu Yezhou's rescue. However, his wife and concubines were ravaged to death by the rioters, and one of his sons was also beaten to death. While he was grieving, he was also very grateful to Gu Yezhou for his help.  After learning about Gu Yezhou's wedding, he came to Gu Yezhou's house uninvited and congratulated him personally, gave him a generous gift, and wrote a congratulatory scroll and banner to Gu Yezhou.  Although Tan County Lieutenant was a greedy and corrupt official, his writing was good, but Gu Yezhou didn't appreciate it. As soon as he left, Gu Yezhou threw the scroll into the stove.  Because the Zhangyin County Lieutenant attended in person, many bureaucrats and squires in the city also came to support the banquet. Originally there were only a few tables of banquets, but they had to be increased to more than a dozen tables, and a lot of congratulatory gifts were collected.  Fortunately, there are many people in the escort agency's kitchen, so it's not a problem to add a banquet at short notice.  After the auspicious time arrived, the master of ceremonies led the two people to worship the heaven and the earth.  Send the bride into the bridal chamber.  But Gu Yezhou stayed behind to toast his relatives and friends.  Mo Huaixiang and his wife also came to attend the wedding. Mo Huaixiang was in a bad mood and soon became drunk.  Regardless of her husband being beside her, she kept talking to Gu Yezhou.??Talking about my father and the sufferings of these days, I cried while talking.  Gu Yezhou had no choice but to accompany them until dark, and then arranged for the carriage of the escort agency to send them back.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
