Unable to escape, Yu Zhu had to ask Dong Hu to pick up Li Shuang and Queen Wang and return to Wanjiaping first. He was anxiously waiting for the departure of the new inspector Pan Luohuan. This Pan Luohuan was extremely tall and strong because he was well-nourished, and he had also learned a lot.

He has a lot of martial arts skills and looks a bit majestic, but he is a man with great ambitions and little talent. After getting the inspection post

Before taking office, he was a low-ranking military attache in Pan Tong's personal army. As a military attache, he did not like to practice martial arts. Instead, he was keen on eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, which are common among officials' children. After receiving the appointment, he was not in a hurry to set off, but gathered his friends and friends.

He continued to drink and gamble. According to him, he wanted to have a good time before heading to the remote mountain valley.

Compared with the complacent Pan Luohuan, Pan Zongzhi was an old official. He knew very well what his nephew was, and was afraid that Pan Luohuan would go to Liulizhai for inspection and the people in the mountains would be unconvinced, so he did it in advance

Prepare. In order to protect his nephew, he joined the army

A hundred elite soldiers were mobilized, led by an officer named Tang Xiangwei from his own army, and accompanied Pan Luohuan to take office. He also repeatedly told Pan Luohuan to treat his subordinates well, act with caution, and to win over and divide the old forces in the mountain, and gradually cut them off.

Lost Ouyang Xuan's Yuji.

It's just that Pan Zongzhi really didn't expect that Pan Luohuan ignored his words before he left the city gate. On the day of departure, Tang Xiangwei and Yu Zhu led their people to wait at the city gate early, but Pan Luohuan didn't show up for a long time.

Anxious Tang Xiangwei sent people to look for him but could not find him until the third day of the day.

At that moment, the soldiers who were sweating profusely found him in a brothel called "Yihongyuan" in the city. When the soldiers shouted loudly and urged outside the door, Mr. Pan, who was disturbed, was angry and fiercely shouted.

After slapping the shouting soldiers, they reluctantly left Yihongyuan.

After arriving at the city gate after a long time, Pan Luo was happy to see that Yu Zhu was accompanied by two mules, so he ignored Yu Zhu's persuasion and had someone unload the baggage and used the two mules as his own mounts.

The baggage was divided among the soldiers. Due to the large number of people and the inconvenience of sailing upstream, this trip was convenient.

We took the land route. Since it was almost noon when we left the city, we were in a hurry to get to Hengyuan Town before dark. This section of the official road was in disrepair and was difficult to navigate. The soldiers were walking in a hurry and were carrying baggage.

The marching speed couldn't help but slow down. Seeing that the sky was already hazy, but there were still several miles away from Hengyuan Town, Pan Luo

Huan was extremely angry. He was hungry but did not want to eat the dry food he had brought with the army. He just wanted to go to Hengyuan Village early to lie down, drink wine and eat meat. Riding on the mule, he looked at the veterans walking in front of him.

While walking, they were discussing something in a low voice, and then they got angry and hit several people with a whip in a condescending manner. As they walked,

Tang Xiangwei from the front team heard the screams, cries and commotion, and hurried to Pan Luohuan's horse to dissuade him. Tang Xiangwei, who came from a poor background, felt sorry for the soldiers and defended them a few words. Unexpectedly, Tang Xiangwei's behavior angered Pan Luohuan, who thought Tang Xiangwei was angry.

He used to contradict himself to convince himself in front of the soldiers, so he gave him a whip in return.

Under the acceleration of Pan Luohuan's whip, the group hurriedly and slowly arrived at Hengyuan Village before dark. In the faint light of torches in front of the village gate, Yu Zhu did not see any familiar faces among the people who came to greet him.

He also heard someone reporting to Pan Luohuan that Lord Xiong had held a banquet in the village, knowing that Xiong Ben had occupied Hengyuan Town. At that moment, he made an excuse to Pan Luohuan.

He wanted to visit his relatives outside the village, and promised to arrive at the departure time tomorrow morning, so he left in a hurry with more than ten Perak Army soldiers accompanying him. Pan Luohuan did not doubt that he had it, and went straight to drink and eat meat with Tang Xiangwei. That night

Naturally, he was very drunk again. His soldiers were already panting from exhaustion. After eating food and water in a hurry, they all found a place to fall asleep.

When the sun rose above the treetops the next day, Pan Luohuan woke up from his hangover. He ordered Tang Xiangwei to lead the way, while he continued to sleep while lying on the sliding pole. Although riding a mule yesterday was labor-saving, it was still uncomfortable. Today, he went into the mountains. The road was even narrower and more difficult to navigate, so he asked someone to carry him into the mountain to avoid being exhausted like yesterday.

After Tang Xiangwei met Yu Zhu, who had been waiting at the mountain pass, they walked along the mountain road to Wanjiaping. Both of them had served in the Chongqing Prefecture Xiang Army before. Although they had no contact, they looked familiar. They walked together and looked down. The two talked loudly, and the two became more and more speculative. Their shared experiences and topics quickly brought them closer together. Tang Xiangwei talked about the banquet he attended with Pan Luohuan last night, and complained in a low voice that the officials of Xiong Ben in Yokoyuan Town were barbaric, rude, and full of gangsterism. After hearing this, Yu Zhu sneered: "They were originally bandits who killed people and looted goods." He then detailed all the evil deeds of the bandits in the mountainous area, and also told how Xiong Ben obtained the wealth through bribery after being driven out of Jiguan Mountain. Hengyuan Town. After Tang Xiangwei heard this, he sighed and said: "No wonder I heard crying from the village last night when I was drinking. When Xiong Ben heard the crying, he cursed the villagers of Hengyuan for disobeying the imperial discipline. They all fled to the mountains, but the remaining ten or so households were also unruly people who did not understand the rules." Now Tang Xiangwei understood that these villagers who did not want to move to Wanjiaping had become meat and potatoes on the chopping block, and their situation would be extremely miserable. Let Tang Xiangwei was in a low mood because he remembered what Pan Luohuan had said about Sang and Huai. When Xiong Ben finished scolding Ouyang Xuan and lured away the villagers in Hengyuan, leaving him with no one to drive him around, Pan Luohuan intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Tang Xiangwei who was drinking silently and said : "Yes, these untouchables don't understand the order of hierarchy. Only whips can make them understand the truth and the rules..."

Pan Luohuan was very high-spirited during this trip. In addition to the government inspection appointment letter, his confidence also came from the hundreds of elite soldiers accompanying him. However, when he arrived at Wanjiaping, there was no grand reception. The soldiers and mountain people along the way, except for his colleagues, Yu Zhu said hello, but also looked at these outsiders coldly, and no one came forward to kneel down or salute. This naturally made Pan Luohuan angry but unable to get angry. After he patrolled Wanjiazhai, no one came to deal with it. After the handover, he vented his anger on Yu Zhu and scolded Yu Zhu for deliberately neglecting his official duties. At this time, Yu Zhu had already received Ouyang Xuan's countermeasures, so he pretended to be aggrieved and said that he was just a compilation team and only responsible for catching thieves in the mountains. responsibility, let alone govern political affairs.
