Chapter 335: Speculation
After the group greeted, Liu Xuan led Peng Jin and Nuan Nuan to the backyard to rest for a while, while Liu Shi and Liang Shan went to the front yard to discuss government affairs. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
"How is it, third brother, how do you think I go to Shanghe County this way?" After the two sides sat down with the guests of honor, Liang Shan asked with a smile while pouring tea for Liu Shi, his tone was full of confidence.
Liu Shi nodded and said with a smile: "The four realms are stable, the people are rich, not bad!" β
As soon as he finished saying this, Boss An interjected: "The four realms are stable? The third master is not right! Have you forgotten that we were attacked as soon as we arrived within the boundaries of Shanghe County? β
Strictly speaking, Guanyin Mountain is located at the junction of Shanghe County and Honghe County, and there have been fierce bandits who have no way to even the entire Xichuan Prefecture, and they are in turmoil, so it is not because Liangshan has no way to govern Shanghe County, they were attacked near Guanyin Mountain this time.
But Boss An was anxious to protect the lord, and the thieves did block the road and rob after they entered the boundary of Shanghe County, so Boss An was unhappy with Liu Shi's praise and Liang Shan's complacency, and rushed out.
"Attacked?" Liang Shan was startled, his face changed, and he immediately stood up and asked, "Then third brother, are you injured?" β
Liu Shi shook his head and said in a deep voice: "It's not hurt. However, I think this gang of thieves has a strange origin. β
Liang Shan saw Liu Zhi's gloomy face, so he knew that things were not ordinary, so he sat down opposite him and listened to the details.
Liu Shi turned his head to An Lao Dao: "Brother An, you have fought with them, you can tell me." β
Boss An thought about it carefully, nodded and said: "Speaking of which, this group of thieves is different from ordinary bandits, although they are noisy and shouting, they actually advance and retreat in a certain degree, absolutely obey commands, are good at fighting in formations, and seem to have received strict training. In this way, they are more like soldiers than bandits! β
Elder An said, his eyebrows heavy.
What does it mean that the soldiers came to deal with Liu Shi?
Could it be that Liu Shi inadvertently provoked some great big shots?!
Liang Shan was also solemn and silent.
If you want to say that Liu Shi has offended anyone recently, in addition to Wu Zhong and his clansmen who have been put in prison and are waiting for the autumn queen to be beheaded, there is only Wang Dingguo, the prefect of Xichuan Prefecture, who has failed to intercede for Wu Zhong.
Liu Zhi thought of the private letter from the prefect Wang Dingguo to intercede for Wu Zhong, and his brows twisted into a pimple.
The gang of robbers who got in the way. Could it be someone sent by Wang Dingguo?
If Wang Dingguo really sent soldiers to pretend to be bandits to deal with him because of a Wu Zhong, then what does this mean?
Is Wu Zhong of other unusual use to Wang Dingguo, or is Wang Dingguo dissatisfied with his face, so he specially sent someone to warn him?
No, no, no!
Liu Shi shook his head, he had collected information about Wang Dingguo before he came, although this person was flattering and greedy for money, but he did not have the courage to assassinate the imperial court officials.
No matter how important Wu Zhong is, will Wang Dingguo's own future be important?
Or is Wang Dingguo's move just to warn him?
That's too narrow-minded and a bit of a fuss!
Where is the demeanor and measures that a governor should have!
What Liu Zhi thought of, Liang Shan also thought of.
But after pondering for a moment, Liang Shan said in a low voice: "Wu Zhong doesn't have this ability, so he stretches out his hand to the army.
Although Wang Dingguo is arrogant and good-looking, he will not use soldiers in the army to deal with the third brother just because of just one Wu Zhong.
Wang Dingguo, to put it bluntly, is actually a papier-mΓ’chΓ© tiger, who looks powerful on the outside, but in fact, he is strong on the outside and vulnerable to attack. He didn't have the courage to do it to the court officials! β
So, who exactly is going to deal with him?
Or did this gang of unknown thieves just happen to rob their group?
To be honest, neither Liang Shan nor Liu Shi was convinced of this possibility.
As soon as Liu Shi arrived in Honghe County, he eliminated Wu Zhong, a bully who had controlled the county government for many years, and he had already made a name for himself everywhere.
As long as the nearby thieves don't have brain problems, they won't recklessly rob Liu Shi's car, which has outstanding martial arts skills and a group of extraordinary guards.
Liu Zhi thought that the place where the thieves rushed out was near Guanyin Mountain, and he ran away afterwards and rushed to Guanyin Mountain, and asked in a low voice: "Could it be the gang of bandits from Guanyin Mountain?" β
Because he was the new magistrate of Honghe County, they specially sent someone to take a trip to weigh his catties?
Liang Shan pondered for a moment and said, "It's not necessarily impossible. It's just that I've never fought with them, and I don't know if they have their own rules in their actions, like soldiers in the army, so I can't be sure. β
"That's right!" Boss An slapped his thigh and said urgently, "In addition to the robbery of this gang of thieves, there are also ambushes in advance!" But the strange thing is that the people who laid in the ambush never participated in the battle, and only rushed out to rescue them when we were about to capture their accomplices, and they were not in love with the war at all! β
This is really not the performance that ordinary thieves should have, just like a naughty child who has nothing to do to find someone to fight, but refuses to do his best, and feels that the odds of victory are not good in the middle of the fight, so he simply runs away!
Liang Shan frowned when he heard this, shook his head and said, "In this way, it really doesn't look like the bloodthirsty style of the bandits in Guanyin Mountain." Those thieves have never seen blood and have never collected knives. β
"However, in the vicinity of Guanyin Mountain, there are no other thieves who have the courage to come forward to rob and rob the business of the Guanyin bandits." Liu Zhi said in a low voice.
Liang Shan nodded, frowning: "In this way, the identity of this group of people is really not sure." β
What I'm afraid of is not how strong the opponent is, but that I can't even figure out who the opponent is, and I can't plan to deal with it at all.
The three of them thought hard for a long time, but they still didn't figure it out.
In the end, it was Liu Shi who was the first to speak: "Forget it, if you can't think of it, it's useless to think about it." Speaking of which, we are also glad that we met not the gang of thieves in Guanyin Mountain! Otherwise, it is difficult to say whether we will survive today. β
With Peng Jin and Nuan Nuan, how could he fight wholeheartedly!
A strong man with a weak underbelly will show flaws everywhere.
Come to think of it, it's really scary.
"When you go back, I'll send extra men to escort you!" Liang Shan said without refusal.
It was related to the safety of Peng Jin and Nuan Nuan, Liu Zhi did not refuse, and nodded in thanks.
He doesn't care if he's alone, but Peng Jin and Nuan Nuan can't afford to miss a little.
After saying this, the two talked about government affairs.
Liang Shan felt that it was time to officially introduce Liu Shi and the leaders of the Ni tribe in Honghe County.
It's just that the specific date, to be agreed, preferably before spring ploughing.
After the spring ploughing, the busy year is about to begin again.
