Among the two capitals and thirteen provinces in the Ming Dynasty, Guizhou Province had the smallest area, but the stations along the way were dense.

Since the proportion of Han people in Guizhou is very low and there are mountains and steep mountains everywhere, the core idea of ​​the court's rule over Guizhou is to "stay on the front line."

As long as you control the transportation line composed of post stations, you can quickly dispatch troops to suppress the rebellion in Guizhou Province with complex terrain.

Since the Chenghua period, Guizhou’s inn has gradually been abandoned.

Emperor Yingzong Zhu Qizhen launched a Tumu Fort Incident, and several provinces in the north fought a mess. After stabilizing the situation in the north, he was busy suppressing the refugees in Jingxiang, and had no time to take care of the Yunnan-Guizhou area.

The chieftains in Guizhou have come back and no longer take the imperial court seriously.

Even the Shuidong Song clan, known for his loyalty, began to obey the information and deliberately abandoned the post station with the Shuidien clan. There were three routes from Bashu and Huguang to Guizhou. The two chieftains worked together to directly pinch the starting section of the three traffic lines.

The lawsuit of Chief Zazuo where Wang Yuan is located is the territory of the Shuidong Song clan.

The Zhazuo Post Office under the jurisdiction was already empty, the houses at the post station collapsed, and the weeds in the corners grew taller than people.

However, the official road that runs through the post station is still in use, and merchants or criminals often pass by it. Compared with the Central Plains, the official roads in Guizhou are very narrow, and there are various uphill and downhill, and even steep sections have to lie down and climb up.

In late spring, the wind is bright and sunny.

Three people came from afar on the official road, two of whom were escorted officials, and the remaining one was of course exiled prisoners.

Although Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of Hongwu was cruel, as long as it was not corruption and fraud, all kinds of criminal laws were very humane. During the entire Ming Dynasty, after hundreds of years, the sentence of immigrants could basically be reduced to imprisonment (labor reform) - only if you are involved in major issues will you be truly exiled.

Chen Fufeng is in trouble!

Chen Fufeng, whose courtesy name is Weitang, was from Yuyao, Shaoxing Prefecture.

He passed the exam for the scholar at the age of seventeen, but he was still a scholar at the age of twenty-seven. In anger, Chen Fufeng, who claimed to be full of knowledge, was forced to make a living as a guest for the magistrate.

Mu Bin is the master. He was born in Shaoxing Prefecture and was also a master of Shaoxing!

The magistrate was promoted all the way, and even Master Chen was in a high position. Later, the magistrate was transferred to become an official in Beijing, and he used money to help Chen Fucheng arrange it, so he got him a stern assistant.

Last summer, Emperor Hongzhi passed away, Emperor Zhengde Zhu Houzhao came to power, and the eunuch Liu Jin began to jump up and down.

The chief officer assisted by Chen Fucon was Qingliu, who was hot-headed and fought against Eunuch Liu. Unfortunately, Qingliu was also greedy. Eunuch Liu found out the case of the nest by Eunuch Liu. Not only did the money in his hand be taken away by the eunuch, but even Chen Fucon, the assistant officer, was also sentenced to exile for 3,000 miles - fortunately, his house was not confiscated.

Looking at the mountains and ridges in the distance and thinking about the future exile, Master Chen sighed: "My life is so miserable!"

The two dismissors (escort personnel) also stopped, one stood drinking water while the other carried the shackle board and said, "Master Shen, don't complain, you didn't even get shackles. We brothers are suffering, and we have to accompany you for thousands of miles. We don't know which year or month we can go back."

Mr. Chen not only did not shut up, but became more and more sad. He hurriedly said, "I missed Chen Futang, who knew literacy at the age of five, could write at the age of eight, and became a scholar at the age of seventeen. It's a pity that the examiner did not understand the mystery of articles, and failed the provincial examination every time, but he couldn't even pass the exam! He finally met his benefactor, and abandoned his studies as a guest, and wasted half his life before he got a solemn officer. I have been an official for two years. The sesame official in the last rank of the court can also be involved in the disputes between the court. Now he is going to be exiled to Yunnan again. Is that a place for people to take care of? My life is so hard, the heaven is above, please open your eyes!"

The two assistants were so annoyed that if they had not sent the person to the house and could still receive the reward from their families when they returned, they would probably have cut the two guys down with one knife.

Before Master Chen's troubles were finished, he suddenly began to recite Su Dongpo's work: "The heart is like a tree that has been ashes, and the body is like a boat that has not been tied. Ask you for your life's achievements, Huangzhou, Huizhou, Danzhou!"

Finally, a dismissor was impatient and shook the shackle in his hand and said, "What state is it? Hurry up and hurry up, otherwise I will put the shackle on you!"

Master Chen finally chose to follow his heart and continued to rush forward, saying as he walked: "Those who know me say I am worried, and those who don't know me say I want. I am not lamenting my own experience, but lamenting that this great Ming Dynasty has lost a genius who has passed through the world..."

The three of them didn't walk far away and saw a child standing next to the road.

The child was wearing black clothes and black pants, covered in patches, and was wearing straw sandals. There was a dirt bow hanging on his waist and a bag of arrows hanging on his back. The chaotic arrow feathers were obviously homemade weapons.

It’s Wang Yuan!

Not every day can you encounter miserables and demoted officials. My dad and elder brother wait for a few days before giving up. After all, they still have to work hard on their family's livelihood.

To intercept the official road, you can only trouble Wang Yuan to handle it personally.

Wang Yuan bowed to the three of them with fists and said in Guizhou official dialect: "Three, please go slowly, you guys have something to ask for advice."

Master Chen barely understood this dialect, and it felt quite strange at the moment. Without waiting for the two officials to express their opinions, he smiled and said, "Little baby, what do you want to ask for advice?"

Wang Yuan clasped his fists again: "Dare you asking me, have you ever studied? Can you do eight-legged articles?"

Master Chen laughed: "I passed the scholarship at the age of 17. You actually asked me if I would do eight-legged essays..." Halfway through laughing, he suddenly changed his face and said panic, "What do you want to do? Why point the bow and arrow at me? Put the arrow down quickly!"

"It's you!"

Wang Yuan bent his bow and arrow, stood leisurely on the official road, and said to the three adults: "Please cooperate and rob."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

The two escort officers were amused, and one of them laughed and said, "How old are you? Are you weaned? You dare to learn from others and come out to rob the Tao at a young age."

"Swoosh!"

He shot out an arrow and shot the official's hat off.

As the saying goes, people don’t talk much, Wang Yuan uses practical actions to tell the other party that robbery is a very serious matter.

“Bold!”

When the official was shocked, another official suddenly drew his sword. Unexpectedly, just two inches of the blade were unsheathed, Wang Yuan shot another arrow, hitting the official's tiger's mouth, and blood flowed in his right hand could no longer hold the knife.

Wang Yuan pointed at his head, squinted his eyes and sneered: "Do you still want me to shoot the third arrow?"

The official who was shot off the hat finally came back to his senses, was shocked by Wang Yuan's sharp shot, and said with a stern look: "Little baby, do you know what the charge is for robbing and killing the official?"

Wang Yuan directly choked back: "When you arrive at the territory of Guizhou chieftains, let alone just a small official, I will kill you even if the Ming Dynasty chief minister comes!"

The two officials were speechless for a moment and could not find any words to refute.

Since the Chenghua Dynasty, the Guizhou garrison system has gradually become corrupt, and daily rebellions still require local chieftains to settle them.

What’s even more nonsense is that Guizhou’s boundaries are intertwined with Sichuan and Huguang. Sometimes hundreds of people rebel, and only a hundred or eighty miles of land is needed to send troops together.

The provinces shirked each other, saying that there was a rebellion in the other party's territory. In the end, no one wanted to take care of it, so they had to bother the Ministry of War to coordinate the work.

Under such circumstances, the court naturally just lived a mediocre life in Guizhou, and there was no way to deal with a lieutenant.

Wang Yuan continued to give an order: "The prisoner stays, you can leave."

"Don't you steal the money?" The two officials were quite surprised and were overjoyed.

Wang Yuan said: "I want people, don't have money."

"You said it earlier!"

"Little brother, then we two will leave first. Please keep your hands firm and don't shoot the arrows out."

The two officials immediately turned around and ran away. When they returned, they said that they had been robbed. They could just get some injuries and get perfunctory.

Only Chen Fufeng stood there stupidly, with a confused expression on his face, and suddenly shouted at the backs of the two: "Don't run, come back quickly! What should I do if you run away?"

The two officials immediately ran faster, not caring about Master Shen had not gotten on the bus yet.

Master Chen was so angry that he stamped his feet, and he squeezed out a smile with his teeth and said: "Little brother, I am just a mistress, and I have no valuable items on my body. Why not..."

Wang Yuan asked with a smile: "What's better?"

Master Chen judged the situation and whispered: "It's better to give up your hands and let me go too."

Wang Yuan did not answer positively, but pointed to a big tree thirty steps away: "Sir, have you seen that tree?"

Master Chen nodded and said, "I saw it."

Wang Yuan bent his bow and took an arrow: "Please pay attention to the old pike (crow) on the tree."

Master Chen suffered from mild myopia. After careful observation, he could only see a small black shadow. But when Wang Yuan shot an arrow, the black shadow fell immediately. The arrow shot quickly and accurately, and the crow didn't even have a chance to react.

"Good arrow technique!" Master Chen praised him.

Wang Yuan asked, "Can you run faster than the sharp arrows in my hand?"

Master Chen shook his head repeatedly: "I can't run away."

Wang Yuan finally put away the bow and arrow, bowed again, looking polite: "Since you can't escape, then accept your fate. Sir, please go back to the mountain with me."

"Go back to the mountain?" Master Chen still couldn't understand. Ruojie was a burly man, and he might be tied back to the mountain to be a military advisor. After all, it was written like that in "Water Margin", but Wang Yuan was just a little baby!

Wang Yuan comforted, "Sir, don't be afraid. I just want to study, but I can't afford to hire a teacher at home. I hope that the teacher can go back to the mountain with me and teach me the great principles of saints who can be officials. As for meeting each other and scaring away the official, I am just expressing my sincerity."

"You just want to become a disciple for a long time?" While Master Chen felt sincerity, he also felt extremely absurd and angry.
