"Principal, the car is ...... again" Qin Sheng carefully knocked Fan Xian's face before he spit out a few words, Fan Xian flicked his sleeves irritably, and said angrily, "Stuck in the mud again, isn't it?" ”

Qin Sheng lowered his head and didn't dare to speak. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

They can't take the official road, so they can only take the Qianmo trail that the people have opened up and accommodated a car to pass, and they have to drill the forest several times from time to time. The serpent-like formation, and the fact that they had to enter the woodland, all the people in the caravan who had a little insight shook their heads frequently, saying that it was not safe, but they were unable to change the status quo. There was a torrential rain in the middle of the night last night, and the already uneven path became muddy, making it even more difficult to walk. Covered with tarpaulins, the carts full of salt were fine, but every now and then the carts loaded with iron ore would sink into the mud, and the whole caravan had to stop and wait for the wheels to come out of the mud.

Seeing Qin Jiu's appearance, Fan Xian felt angry in his heart, and he almost wanted to scold him, out of this long-accumulated resentment. But thinking of Qin Jiu's identity, Fan Xian finally suppressed this thought, but said angrily: "I got stuck in the mud, so I ordered the team to stop, hurry up and get the car for me, and come to ask for instructions three or four times an hour, what does it look like?" ”

Qin Jiu only agreed, but he was dissatisfied in his heart, if he didn't tell you and rashly let the entire caravan stop, then you wouldn't think that I had usurped your power and put me to death? Qin Jiu is just a little more honest, not so well-behaved, but he is not a fool. So no matter how Fan Xian scolded, he just nodded, which made Fan Xian lose interest in scolding, and others saw it, and they also deepened the impression of "Deputy Steward Qin is too sincere" in their hearts.

Daqi follows the ancient system, the rules of eating at the time of Chen, feeding at the time of Shen, and cooking by the caravan are naturally in accordance with this.

It was noon, and after two or three hours of consumption, it was almost over, and the middle-aged men who were responsible for pushing the cart generally felt hungry, and the men who were more able to eat were already empty in their stomachs, like thunder. In order to save their physical strength, they unloaded the iron ore and lifted the cart out of the mud after these hours, which was inevitably a little slow.

Fan Xian saw that Qin Sheng had gone for a while, but he still hadn't sent back the news, so he couldn't help frowning frequently. At this time, in the woods on both sides, there was a sudden rush whistle, and immediately, a large number of ragged people, even simply covered the key parts with a few large leaves, holding weapons sharpened with wood in their hands, and even simply picked up a big wooden stick The man rushed out, without saying a word, and rushed straight to the side of the goods!

When attacked, the drawbacks of the Fan caravan being forced to change its formation were revealed-if they took the official road where two cars could run in parallel, they would also let the vehicles go alone, pushing the carts one after another, and sending family members and guards on both sides to watch and guard, so that the team was wide but short, and it was very easy to resist the attack in a group. But now on the trail, a person standing next to a car is already walking awkwardly, and when the displaced people rush, the caravan that was caught off guard was cut into several sections by the displaced people!

Seeing this, Fan Xian hurriedly hid in the escort team, and trembled to take off all the slightly more expensive accessories on his body and stuffed them into his sleeves. I deeply regret that I wore an unsuitable silk dress in order to show off, and I can't wait to peel off these skins and change them into coarse linen clothes, which is not good for everyone. Qin Sheng was in a hurry, and with a little anxiety, he commanded the guards to defend them against the enemy.

If the army is cut off by such a stopper, it will not be able to exert its strength, let alone be completely annihilated, and it will be impossible for the remnants to go more. But the Fan caravan was only faced with hungry and crazy outcasts, and when they saw that there were not many people around the goods to protect them, they rushed up one by two like crazy, coaxing the goods, completely unorganized and undisciplined, even if a few people were shouting hoarsely at first, and after seeing that it had no effect, they also rushed into the ranks of robbery.

"Damn, didn't Xu Li swear that all the bandits around Huguan were all used by Li Zhun as a thing for military training, and they were served in one pot?" Seeing that the caravan's counterattack was gradually working, Fan Xian couldn't help but curse in a low voice while calming down in his heart, "The Shangdang Xu clan has been very famous over the years, and I thought they deserved their name, but I didn't know that they were also blown out." ”

The reason why Fan Xian thinks this way is also very reasonable.

Daqi evaluates the performance of local officials, and it is not the rate of solving cases, but the rate of committing crimes. In other words, even if there are 100 cases in the place under your jurisdiction and you solve all 100 cases, it is not as good as an official who has five cases but only four cases.

Even in the heyday when Daqi was not dark enough to completely control the government by the family, resulting in the people's misery, local officials believed that "the people do not lift, the officials do not investigate", pretending to be deaf and dumb, turning big things into small things, and turning small things into small things, it is naturally best not to be included in the archives. In order to go further, some officials even set up the rule that "once someone goes to the government to complain about wrongs, regardless of the original, the two sides will go first to the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China." In today's dark age when the magistrates are trying their best to scrape the ground, it is impossible for the people to want any fairness and justice. But in the archives of various counties, there are many flowers, and all of them look bad and beautiful.

It is precisely because of the whitewash that it is too peaceful, the appearance is bright, and there are too many examples of decay on the inside, so many that Fan Xian is numb to it. Therefore, when he saw that the facts were contrary to the news he heard, he didn't think that these homeless people were disguised, and preconceived that Li Zhun did not do his best, and secretly said that even Li Zhun, who was known as the first general of the party, was not much more clever than others, and even the thieves couldn't handle it, and he also teamed up with the county commander Xu Li to deceive Xu Ze, and he couldn't help but have a little disdain for the so-called "control" of the Shangdang Xu family.

Just when he was dodging and thinking about what he didn't have, there was a new change on the side of the "homeless".

A few men dressed as homeless people, but in fact were Li Zhun's henchmen, pretended to compete for a generation of food, "not paying attention", the sack was torn open a huge opening, and the salt of the white flowers was like fine snow, scattering their faces all over their bodies.

The thin man next to them, who was also Qin Jiu's friend, saw this scene, so he picked up his finger and wiped the salt that fell on his face, sucked it, and then shouted loudly: "They didn't transport grain, it was salt!" ”

"Salt?" The next moment, Wang Qiqi, who was his good brother, picked up a bag of salt and tore it violently, he had great strength, and this time he deliberately used his strength, and he was instantly sprinkled with salt all over his face.

In the face of such a precious thing, Wang Qiqi roared in a voice with extreme anger and disappointment, and even a little murderous, "We were chased by Li Zhun's slut and chased him to the sky, there was no way to go to the ground, and we were starving to death, what do you want salt for?" ”

Hearing that the salt that was not robbed was food, but only useful, but could not be filled, and could not be sold, the "homeless" people were a little resigned, and some were unwilling, so they opened the sack containing the iron ore, and saw that it was a stone that they did not recognize, and it was black and not slippery, and then they completely lost their hearts. Seeing this, Qin Jiu took advantage of Fan's busy feeling sorry for how much the two bags of salt were worth, and he hurriedly commanded the guards to wave their weapons and force them towards the homeless people.

The so-called homeless people are nothing more than a group of homeless farmers and ordinary people, who have not undergone any formal military training, are not allowed to talk about military discipline, and cannot even simply obey orders. It's all a rogue style of picking it up, and when you see that the situation is unfavorable, you run faster than a rabbit. Therefore, even if there were not many guards in the Fan family's caravan, the number was only less than one-fifth of the homeless, when they gradually came back to their senses and began to fight back, the rout of the homeless people was almost in the time of a stick of incense after the counterattack, but the damage they caused made Fan Xian look at it, and he almost vomited a mouthful of blood.

In the process of fighting, the salt that was thrown into the ground and stained with muddy water, as was the case just now, opened the hole or directly tore open the bag, damaged 30% of the remaining salt. When the iron ore was counted, it was found that at least two sacks of iron ore were missing, so angry that Fan Xian scolded: "These cheap things don't know iron ore, what are you doing by stealing them back?" ”

Fan Lai, who is also a child of the Fan family, has a little bit of inspiration in his brain, and Fan Lai, who often has crooked ideas, heard this, so he came over and said with some uncertainty: "Lord, you say, this matter ...... Could it be that the people of the Xu clan in the party did it? ”

"The people of the Xu clan in the party want to really do it, leave all our lives behind, intercept the goods, and say to the outside world that we were killed after the trip, why do you have to go to such great lengths?" Fan Lai, who stepped forward, was undoubtedly the best punching bag for Fan Xian, who was angry, so he scolded, "You pig brain, can't you think about the problem properly?" ”

Fan Lai was just a flash of inspiration, and after being denied by Fan Xian, he also felt that he had thought of something wrong, so he didn't say more. As everyone knows, in the cottage not far away, Xu Pan is looking at the two sacks of ore handed in, and said helplessly: "Even if it is very little, it is better than nothing." ”

Xu Hui didn't mean it for several generations of ores, so he smiled noncommittally when he heard the words, and then asked: "Speaking of which, I don't know yet, why did Uncle Li leave such an empty shell cottage?" ”

"It's not one left, it's a lot." Xu Pan sighed helplessly, "Huguan is coveted by too many families, and the people they send often turn into bandits who are homeless and fall into the grass, settle in the vicinity, and peep at the movements of Huguan. Li Zhun received the order of his father, and the bandits in the four realms were all emptied, and the right to train the soldiers, and set up a hunter's hut in a secret place near each cottage, and the proper subordinates pretended to be hunters, lived here, peeped at the movement of the empty cottage, and saw if anyone was here, doing something unsightly and unfavorable to my party. ”

After listening to his explanation, Xu Hui nodded lightly: "These empty cottages are a good place for those who peep into the Huguan." (To be continued.) )
