I think that at that time, Zhu Kang and Li Ming occupied the county government in Shaanzhou, thanks to Ah Gui disguised himself and arrested Zhu Kang, but he didn't expect that Li Ming, who had escaped, would not change his mind and occupy the county government here.

Childe asked, "How did they occupy the county government?" Didn't the county government have soldiers to resist? ”

Lao Zhangtou said slowly: "You have come from afar, so naturally you don't know the situation in the county. Our magistrate's name is Sun Lian, and we call him grandson behind our backs. His name is Sun Lian, and he is not honest at all. I have been in the county seat for three and a half years, and the people who have scraped the fat and the ointment are as high as several mountains. On that day, an order came from the province to send him to Laiwu as an official. Because there were too many looted properties, a batch could not be completed, so he sent his son to transport it back to his hometown first. These more than a dozen carts of things passed by Fengtou Mountain, Xiao Zhuge and Uncle Li Huang saw it, and I don't know who shouted: The people of Yuncheng are fat and ointment, but he is greedy! All of a sudden, there was a commotion, and someone shouted: "Robbed his mother!" So, a swarm of bees intercepted the car and detained Sun Xiao. Sun Xiao is the son of his grandson, he has no children in his life, and he did not have this son until he was forty years old. When he learned that his son was detained by Uncle Li, he was so anxious that he was willing to give up the position of magistrate in exchange for his son. Uncle Li Huang listened to Xiao Zhuge 's idea, escorted Sun Xiao to the county office, handed over the official seal with one hand, and released Sun Xiao with the other. Uncle Li Huang got the official seal and distributed the public silver to the poor. Since then, there is no one in the county who does not call Uncle Li Huang. ”

Gongzi said in his heart, Li Ming is just a butcher, where did he come from with such a lot of scheming, I am afraid that it is a military strategy, which shows that military use is not useless. It's okay to be smart enough to kill Wen Fu for a while, but buying people's hearts is not something that useless people can think of, but I'm afraid that the ambition of martial arts is not short. The more such people are. The more you have to guard against it.

After listening to Lao Zhangtou talk about the occupation of the county government by Fengtou Mountain, it was already very late. The others had nothing to say. They rested. When I got up in the morning, I said goodbye to Lao Zhangtou and went on the road again.

On the road. Luo Qingsong asked Gongzi, "What can I do about this?" I know that the fortress of Yuncheng is strong, if they really occupy the county government, what will it be difficult for us to do? Just a few of us, how can we fight with the people of a city? ”

Childe pondered: "The matter has come to this, let's look at the situation first." Force is not enough, only outwitted. ”

Luo Qingsong said: "It's up to the brother to outwit something, you know I don't have that ability." ”

This place is very close to the county seat, and within a day, they will be in front of the county gate. Luo Qingsong is right, the city gate here is really tight. Li Ming, who has been helped by martial arts. It is precisely because Uncle Liu Huang has Zhuge Liang who is like an insect with wings, and he is no longer a little thief in Shaanzhou. The city gate of Yuncheng was originally three or four zhang high, and the layers on the city were all lookout towers, and there were three or five guards guarding behind the corner towers, wearing Ge armor on their bodies, holding spears in their hands, and inspecting the surrounding situation majestically. There were also officers and soldiers guarding the gates of the city, interrogating merchants and people.

Luo Qingsong whispered to Gongzi: "The defense here is tighter than that of the Beijing Division, and the officers and soldiers are afraid that it will not be easy to enter." ”

Dark incense also said: "Strange and strange. It is very strange that Li Ming was able to train this group of elite soldiers in a short period of time! ”

Childe replied: "The soldiers were not trained by Li Ming, they were originally the guards of the official army. It seems that the shape of Yuncheng is very grim, and not only the common people support them. Even the officers and soldiers defected. ”

So saying, they had reached the city gate. There were two lines in front of the city gate, one of which was going to enter the city. The other line is going out of the city. They walked into the line of people entering the city and walked slowly.

When they came to the gates of the city. Three soldiers stopped them and asked, "Did you come in disguise?" ”

At first glance, the red emerald eyes almost fell out. Xindao, how did they see that they were disguised by officials and soldiers? Could it be that they have grown heavenly eyes? Or do they have the ability to predict the unknown? When Hongcui was wondering how Gongzi was going to answer, Gongzi had already replied: "We are tea merchants from Jiangning, and we came to the city to sell tea. Where do the officials look at us? ”

The soldier who asked her nodded and said, "It's okay if it's not an official soldier, you can go in." "It turns out that they don't have any ability to read people, but they just ask questions as usual. Hongcui breathed a sigh of relief and followed Childe into the city.

The city is orderly, not at all like a bandit occupying the city. Gongzi also said, this military use is by no means an ordinary generation, and this generation is not afraid of the remnants of the Qing Dynasty. Dark incense stepped forward and asked Childe what arrangements he had. Childe replied, find a shop to live in, and then check the county government slowly.

Dark Fragrance nodded yes. He looked around and saw a Cao family inn in front of him. Dark Xiang went to check it first, and it looked quite clean, so she turned to the son and said, "Let's stay in the Cao Family Inn, the room is ready-made, and the room is quite clean." ”

Childe replied yes. Dark Xiang led the son into the Cao family inn. The shopkeeper beckoned them to sit down, and asked like the soldiers guarding the city, "Are the guests disguised by the officers and soldiers?" ”

At this time, Hongcui had experience, and said angrily: "What kind of official army is not official army, we are tea merchants, do you think I look like an official army?" ”

The shopkeeper looked at Hongcui and replied, "Not really." But you say that you are a merchant who sells tea, so why don't you see your camel tea mule? ”

Hongcui was a little dizzy when she asked this question, why didn't she think that she would have to sell tea and carry tea leaves on mules? This shopkeeper is much smarter than the soldiers who defend the city. Seeing this, Luo Qingsong smiled and said, "Shopkeeper, you are very strange, our tea burden went over the ditch when we walked the mountain road." You just have to do your business, and we don't lack you silver taels, just ask what? ”

The shopkeeper replied, "The little one really needs to be cross-examined." The guest officer doesn't know the rules of our county, which is different from other places. If anyone finds out that it is a person pretending to be an official or soldier, report it to the county government, and you can get a reward of 100 taels of silver. ”

Hearing this, Hongcui stuck out her tongue first. The shopkeeper replied: "If an ordinary merchant travels a long way, the store only takes care of the tea and food, and the guest officer does not have to pay a penny." ”

Childe asked, "Why is that?" How do you run your store if you don't collect cash? ”

The shopkeeper replied, "Don't worry, guest officer. Our county magistrate said that all expenses should be paid by the county government. ”

Gongzi never thought that Wu Yong would even resort to such a means in order to win people's hearts. The store served a pot of tea and asked the guest officer what he was eating? Chaotic Butterfly said in his heart, anyway, he ate for nothing, so he simply wanted a good table. So, seventeen or eighteen dish names were called indiscriminately. The shopkeeper said again: "I'm sorry for the guest officer, our store only supplies oily noodles, dandan noodles, knife-cut noodles, and braised noodles." None of the others, our county lord said, no matter where the guest officials come from, they are all a bowl of noodles. What do guests order to eat? ”

Randie opened her mouth and scolded: "Your grandmother's, say it earlier, just serve a bowl of noodles." ”

Dark Xiang hurriedly reprimanded: "Third brother, stop talking, what are you talking about?" As he spoke, he said to the shopkeeper: "I'm sorry, my brother is like this, and the store is delaying a little more." ”

The shopkeeper didn't care, and still said with a spring breeze on his face: "What did the guest officer say?" Our county master said, no matter where the guests come from, they will scold and fight back when they come to the boundary of our Yuncheng, so that people can see the high wind and bright festival of our Yuncheng people! ”

Randie was said by the dark incense, although he didn't say anything in his mouth, he scolded in his heart, your grandfather, a bowl of noodles is still high.

Childe asked again: "I think there are no less than a few thousand merchants coming and going every day, plus there are people who come to eat every day and don't eat, how can this store support it?" ”

The shopkeeper smiled: "The guest officer doesn't know. Our new county master is very righteous, and the first thing he did when he arrived in Yali was to copy the first Song family in the county. Our county lord said that the people of Yuncheng are not afraid, as long as there are rich people, they can all copy them and use them to charge official silver. ”

Now it's Hongcui's turn to scold, bullshit! The rich man's money is hard to accumulate, so why did he copy it?

The shopkeeper explained: "For this, the rich owners of the entire Yuncheng are about to cry to death, and they can't escape, and all the property left behind must be confiscated." I really can't do it, I can only hide everything I can hide. ”

Hongcui snorted coldly: "! Shopkeeper, you don't have any money? If the rich man had been crying by now. ”

The shopkeeper laughed and said, "The girl is wrong again." I took over this shop from my owner a few days ago, and my family has been poor peasants for generations, so how can I have such a big inn with spare money. ”

Hongcui pouted and said in her heart, the feeling is not his, no wonder he said it so easily.

After that, the shopkeeper asked them what they were eating. Dark Xiang asked Gongzi, and there was nothing else, so he had to ask for a bowl of noodles to eat. After the meal, she asked for hot water, and Hongcui waited for her son to wash her feet and go to bed. After that, Hongcui also washed her feet and lay down next to her son.

After lying down, Hongcui didn't want to sleep yet, so she chatted with her son: "Xiao Gege, how long do you want to dress up like this?" You can't let everyone think you're a son all the time, right? ”

Childe really hasn't thought about this question. She originally thought that it would be more convenient for her son to dress up, and put other questions aside for the time being, but Hongcui asked abruptly, she was stunned for a moment, and then said: "It's a matter of course, and I'll say it when it's time to say it." ”

Hongcui snorted and said, "I see that Luo Ye has a lot of heart for Xiao Gege, and he has come so far away, how are you going to treat him?" That day, I heard that Luo Ye was also a poor man. Growing up in Da Luo Province, his father never hugged him once. His mother had been taken captive by his father. Luo Ye's maternal grandfather was a minister of the Yongzheng Dynasty, who supported the eight kings with all his might, and was finally killed by his father with blood drops, but his mother was kidnapped, and then there was Luo Ye. ”

When Ruoqing heard this, her heart was very uncomfortable, and it turned out that she was entangled and entangled. Luo Qingsong's father is the culprit of the blood drop, but his maternal grandfather is from his father's faction, how should he be treated? Dealing with other things, Ruoqing is calm and well-organized, but when she encounters this kind of emotional problem, she is as ignorant as a child of a few years. She thought for a while, her head cracked, and she said impatiently, "What are you doing with that?" Go to bed early, you have to go to the county office tomorrow. (To be continued......)
