Chapter 53: The Bandits' Scheme

Yue Yi said: "The more troublesome is the imported goods, although we have enough funds, but every time we are entrusted to the dart bureau to transport, if there are too many goods, the dart bureau is difficult to escort and comprehensive, and may be robbed by bandits, so only in addition to the eleven villages, the closure of shops can be solved." ”

"Then how did the four major chambers of commerce transport so many commodities before?" Lu Yuan was a little puzzled.

"Those robbers never rob them of their goods, and the old man finds this strange." The king pretended to be pretending.

Lu Yuan didn't break it either, and asked, "Han Shiling, did you hear their words clearly?" ”

"Don't worry, my lord, in fact, I can't get used to the people of the four major chambers of commerce, but they are humble and contemptuous, now that you are in charge, I will not allow them to come to the market!" Han Shiling looked indignant.

Wang Yu snorted secretly, secretly despising Han Shiling in his heart.

Everything has been explained, and the three of them retreated and left, and when Ji Yan left, he wanted to talk and stopped, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Out of the second hall, Wang Yu smiled and said, "Mr. Ji, what are you going to say to the county commander?" ”

"I wanted to talk to him about the county school." Ji Yan said in a deep voice.

"What's so urgent about this, let's talk about it later." Yue Yi said with a smile.

Ji Yan secretly sneered, he had long known that these businessmen had no foresight and would not understand the importance of education, he did not know the county commander's views on education, and he was worried that it would backfire, which was why he wanted to stop talking.

After everyone left, Lu Yuan saw that Hou Kaishan's brows were furrowed deeply, and asked, "Brother Hou, what's wrong?" ”

"My lord doesn't know, these businessmen think too simply, as far as I know, there are more than a hundred bandits in each of the eleven villages, and there are not a few people with strong martial arts, and they are hiding in the mountains, with the current strength of the county government, it is difficult to exterminate them!" Hou Kaishan reported according to the facts.

Lu Yuan's heart sank, he thought that it was still possible to exterminate one or two cottages and establish Liwei, and then take means of differentiation, but now it seems that he thinks too simply.

"Let's recruit some strong men in the people and cooperate with the officials, what do you think?" Lu Yuan asked.

"Untrained strong men can deal with ordinary people, but dealing with these bandits who are used to killing them is like sheep entering a herd of tigers." Hou Kaishan shook his head in denial.

Lu Yuan immediately remembered Peng Bao, yes, if there were dozens of people like Peng Bao, it was estimated that there would not be enough men in the county for them to kill.

Seeing that there were still many paperwork to deal with in front of him, Lu Yuan said, "You go to train the officials first, and I'll think about it again." ”

……

In the lobby of the Changwei Dart Bureau, Jin Muxing was talking to Rayong, when he suddenly heard someone shouting outside the door:

"Big Brother is back! Big Brother is back! Brother Zhan rescued the senior brother back! ”

Jin Muxing suddenly stood up and ran out the door.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Zhan Yuan and Jin Lanzhi each holding Jin Yuanwu with one arm and walking slowly to this side.

After Jin Yuanwu saw his father, he shook his hands, knelt forward, and sobbed: "Father! ”

Jin Muxing helped him up, hugged him, and cried: "My son! ”

Zhan Yuan's heart was agitated when he watched from the side, and suddenly grabbed his hand with one hand, turned his head to look, and saw Jin Lanzhi's cheeks flushed, he grabbed it with his backhand, and grabbed the second lady's slender hand in the palm of his hand, only to feel soft and smooth.

In the lobby, after the father and son told their separation, Jin Muxing's mood gradually stabilized, and he asked Zhanyuan: "Yuan'er, have there been any recent changes in the yamen?" ”

"There is indeed a change, Nian Yao lost his position as the head of the team and was demoted to the soap class, and Brother Hou also led the soap class, and also moved to live in the county office. In addition, there is a Xiucai named Dong Yuan who has become the new staff of the county magistrate, and I have had a relationship with him before. ”

He told everything about the yamen.

"I didn't expect that Xiao Zhan to be a catcher now, and when I heard him talk about it in my cell, I didn't believe it." Jin Yuanwu said with a smile.

Seeing his brother laughing at Zhan Yuan, Jin Lanzhi was suddenly unhappy, and hummed: "Without him, how could you still sit here and laugh at him." ”

"You haven't married him yet, just like this, if you get married, then you still have it?"

Jin Lanzhi immediately started a fight with him.

Jin Muxing was relieved, and became more and more satisfied with Zhanyuan, and said:

"Yuan'er, although I have never been an official, but I have never eaten pork, I have always seen pigs run, if you want to make an official bigger, you must know how to keep a low profile and make friends with people, this is the long-term way."

Zhanyuan said yes.

"Master, I feel that the county commander may have the idea of exterminating the eleven villages!" Zhan Yuan said.

Jin Muxing was taken aback, squinted his eyes and muttered: "Although this is a good thing, but the eleven villages are not easy to deal with, we have to plan carefully." ”

When Luo Yong saw that their family was reunited, he didn't want to disturb on the side, but when he heard about it, he immediately pricked up his ears.

I thought to myself, the county commander actually planned to deal with the eleven villages, this is a godsend, with his strength, maybe he can kill Pei Shiyong, a traitor!

Jin Muxing recalled the information of the Eleventh Village, and said slowly:

"I have fought with Huang Fengzhai's three masters" Mountain Ape "Shi Gang, his martial arts are comparable to mine, from which it can be seen that the big master "Tianlong" Shi Yanhong and the second master "Earth Tiger" Cui Chao's martial arts are above me, and other cottages are as famous as them, and they will certainly not be bad, if you want to deal with them, you must not rely on the county government officials alone. ”

"It's naturally not enough to rely on the government service alone, but plus my iron gun gate and your Changwei Dart Bureau, especially Yuan Wu has also come out, when he recovers from his injuries, it will not be difficult to exterminate a village with him." Rayong interjected.

He has fought with Pei Shiyong a few times, and the opponent's martial arts are really above him, but although he knows that Jin Muxing's martial arts are not very good, he has a good son, as long as Jin Yuan Wuken makes a move, the chance of killing the enemy is a few points higher!

Jin Muxing was extremely relieved of his son's martial arts, but he still frowned when he thought of the fierceness of the eleventh village.

"That said, there must be heavy casualties."

This kid is just too timid, Rayong persuaded:

"If you want to make great contributions, it is inevitable that there will be casualties, and there must be strong bows in the county office, and we have the advantage in weapons, so the casualties may not be great."

Jin Muxing was silent, obviously moved, and Luo Yong persuaded again: "Brother Jin, have you forgotten how Li Yuan went from catching heads to becoming county lieutenants?" As long as he makes this contribution, it may not be impossible for Zhan Yuan to be promoted to county lieutenant! ”

Jin Muxing saw Zhan Yuan's eager eyes and knew that if he refused, he would definitely have a dislike with him.

If it was his own son, he agreed without hesitation, but Zhan Yuan, thinking of this, he decided to let Zhan Yuan and Jin Lanzhi marry as soon as possible, so that he could rest assured.

"I don't know what Brother Luo wants to get by making such a big effort?" Jin Muxing asked.

"You should know that Pei Shiyong of Wuqi Village killed my eldest son." Rayong said in a deep voice.

"I know, but Brother Luo must have other requirements, right?"

Luo Yong smiled suddenly and said, "I know that I can't hide it from you, I also hope that after Zhanyuan is promoted, my youngest son Luo Tai will be the head catcher." ”

Jin Muxing's eyes narrowed slightly, although he knew that he had other plans, he didn't expect his appetite to be so big.

However, as long as Zhan Yuan really becomes the county lieutenant, his son's future does not have to worry, he pondered for a moment and said: "There is no problem on my side, but this matter still needs to be agreed by the county commander." ”

"As long as my brother agrees, I will discuss with the county magistrate, and then I need to introduce the old man to the head of the exhibition." Rayong said with a smile.

Zhan Yuan hurriedly said: "Don't dare." ”

……

In the past two days, Lu Yuan has been dealing with the trivial government affairs of the county government, and he began to classify the documents, and the most important documents were handled by himself.

After his observation, Dong Yuan's talent was far stronger than Qin Li, so the secondary ones were handed over to Dong Yuan to deal with, and the unimportant ones were handed over to Qin Li.

In this way, he was able to spare time to plan the extermination of the cottage, and on this morning, he called Zhanyuan and Hou Kaishan to the study.

"In the past two days, they have been asking me about the extermination of the eleven villages, I wonder if you have thought of any good way?" Lu Yuan asked.

"The subordinates thought that they could use the power of the city's dart bureau and martial arts to promise them some benefits, and if they cooperated with the officials, it would not be difficult to exterminate a village." Zhan Yuan didn't think about it, and said immediately.

Lu Yuan's brows furrowed slightly, and he asked Hou Kaishan, "Brother Hou, what do you think?" ”

"I think you can ask for help from the Hidden Sword Villa in Xuanzhou, I heard that Li Muyi, the owner of the Hidden Sword Villa, is jealous and hateful, if you go and ask him to take action in person, it is still very promising."

Lu Yuan sighed secretly, sure enough, the methods that the people in the rivers and lakes thought of were all using the power of the rivers and lakes, and Lu Yuan hoped more to cultivate his own strength, otherwise it was better to go to Li Ruozhen for help.

"We'll talk about that another day." He waved his hand

Before the afternoon arrived, he had finished processing all the important documents for today, stood up, and decided to take the opportunity to go to the secret passage of the back house to take a look.
