Song Ci returned to the house, he thought of a way to solve the matter, and in a flash, it was soon nightfall, and outside the house, everyone had already gathered, just waiting for Song Ci to come at the moment.

Ren You said: "My lord, all the officers and soldiers have been brought, a total of more than 130 people, and we are currently waiting for the adults to give orders."

Song Ci took a look, these soldiers are very brave, they have been on the battlefield all year round, and they can be regarded as experienced in a hundred battles.

"Everyone, I'll eat first, and then I'll hurry, Song can't let everyone go hungry to fight!"

"Yes, my lord." Their voices were uniform and powerful, and half an hour later, immediately afterward, they went out, but inside the yamen, there were a few people left to guard.

When night came, hundreds of officers and soldiers were walking in the streets, and many of the people of Ling saw it, and they quickly left, not knowing what was happening.

Along the destination, the rugged mountain road was very difficult to walk, and they were not familiar with the road conditions, so they came to the bottom of the mountain and found that the old man who came to report the crime today was actually here.

Song Ci said: "Old man, are you here to lead the way for us?"

"Yes, my lord, all the people in the village have been transferred, and it is very safe at present, so you can go and bring someone to capture it."

Song Ci put his mind at ease, so there was a lot of pressure, this group of people must be severely punished, and no one can be let go, if it is exposed, I am afraid that the people in the village will be retaliated against.

Under the leadership of Lao Rao, everyone climbed the mountain for half an hour, and then finally came to a cave, which may be the residence of this group of thieves.

"My lord, there are a lot of thieves, all of them are inside, today the old man not only bought some meat, but also bought a lot of wine, they have eaten, and they are probably asleep at the moment."

Song Ci thought to himself, this is simply helping me, "Wencheng Wenwu, it's up to you at the moment, Song is waiting for you here." ”

"Yes, my lord."

They led all the officers and men inside, and the next moment, many shouts were heard, and they came from inside.

These thieves were already stunned, they didn't know when the officers and soldiers came, and they wanted to resist, but they were soon arrested and brought to justice, and they were shackled and unable to move.

About half an hour later, they were all taken out, and everyone cursed, knowing that they had been reported.

Song Ci said: "Boldly rebel against the thief, do you know what crime you have committed?"

There is soil; "What sin? What sin is still useful? Are you the new magistrate? I know about you, listen, the old county has been beheaded by you? Isn't it?"

Song Ci said: "It's good that you know, but Song usually punishes people like you severely, so aren't you afraid?"

"Afraid? Why be afraid?" The leader said: "Since the first time I was a thief, Lao Tzu knew that there would be this, but this came too early, didn't you?"

He laughed wildly three times and looked at the rear, "Brothers, we failed, but it doesn't matter, there is still the next life, we can't destroy the Great Song Dynasty in this life, it's a big deal that after eighteen years, let's start again, okay?"

"Okay." Everyone spoke in unison, and it was clear that they did not regret being a thief.

Song Ci knew that these people were forced to be helpless, perhaps because the oppression was too heavy, and the officials of the Great Song Dynasty were constantly bullying, so it was strange that they did not revolt.

It's just that they should never have done anything to the local people, there have been countless casualties, and this person is even more hateful than the yamen and the imperial court.

At some point, all the villagers came over, with sticks and hoes in their hands, intending to fight with these people.

The old man who reported the case came over, looked at Song Ci and said, "My lord, since these thieves appeared, they have forced the people in the village to join them from time to time, and many people are not convinced, and they all end up with a death."

The anti-thief leader stared at his eyes, and there was a fierce light in him, and he was already angry.

He said angrily: "Old thing, it turned out to be the official you reported, if you knew this, Lao Tzu should have killed you to prevent future troubles, otherwise in a few years, our team will definitely be even larger, uncertain, and can destroy the Great Song Dynasty."

Hearing this, Song Ci knew that how could he forgive the other party? Let them go, and I'm afraid these villagers will die.

"Wencheng Wenwu, Song now ordered, you take people and immediately execute these thieves here, and none of them can be left, do you know?"

"It's my lord!"

Hundreds of officers and soldiers were dispatched to pick them up at the same time, and when they came to a remote position, they drew their knives at the same time, and in a few breaths, they all fell to the ground.

They were all executed, nothing else, as long as they carry the word anti-thief on their backs, don't want to live, how can the current court allow danger to their own existence?

Song Ci looked at the group of villagers and said, "By the way, old man, no one in your village is playing with crickets?" Song hates that someone gets this insect the most, I hope you don't let me down. ”

A woman walked out, "My lord, we rely on food here, if it doesn't rain, we won't have food, so we still have the heart to play with this cricket, don't you?"

Song Ci immediately smiled, and sure enough, what he was most worried about did not happen, which was good.

But when I look at these people, although they are not starving to death, they look like they are dressed and look like they have been malnourished for a long time, maybe they haven't eaten meat for a long time.

"Wencheng Wenwu, tomorrow you buy ten pigs and send them, and then divide them equally among these villagers, and at the same time, buy some seeds and send them together."

"Yes, my lord."

Song Ci looked at them, "Fellow villagers, I see that there are many middle-aged people among you, Song Mou thought to himself, since it is not easy to be at home, why don't you go to join the army?" Not only to defend the country

To defend the Great Song Dynasty, you can also get silver taels, you must know that the front-line soldiers are a few taels of silver per person a month, isn't this better than at home?"

Someone exclaimed, "How many taels of silver in a month?" That's better than at home, my lord, I don't know where to sign up?"

Song Ci said: "You don't have to go far away, Song can be here, and there will be no war with the Jin people at present, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that Mongolia and the Jin people will not die, and this battle will come later."

Someone immediately said: "Since this is the case, I want to join the army, I want to protect the Great Song Dynasty and protect the people."

There were also people who agreed, and they knew that this was the case, so they went at that time.

Song Ci looked at them, "Of course, you naturally have to be young and strong to join the army, once you reach middle age, Song will not want you, because ah, your physical strength can no longer be compared with young people, and at the same time, Song encourages the kind of people who have already started a family to come, because, even if you die, you have to have a queen, right?"

"Yes, my lord." They get it.

ordered the officers and soldiers to bury these thieves, and Song Ci and the others returned to the yamen, and they were already sleepy after working for most of the night.

On the second day, everyone got up from the bed, and Song Ci walked out of the door, and saw Qin Yue running over.

"My lord, good news, early this morning, our yamen received another hundred officers and soldiers, and they claimed that they were coming to seek refuge in your lordship."

Song Ci's face was happy, if you are good to the people, they will pay it back, this is the reality.

"Yue, you asked Wencheng Wenwu and them to immediately distribute clothes to these people, and at the same time arrange a place to live, I have a hunch, perhaps, Song has something else to do."

"It's my lord.

A few days later, early in the morning, someone outside the yamen reported to the official, and the sound of drumming continued to spread, which was very amazing.

Song Ci immediately went out to take a look, there were several people outside the house, they were affectionately flustered, as if they had encountered something big.

When they saw Song Ci, everyone knelt down and said, "My lord, it's not good, it's not good!"

"What's wrong? Folks, you have something to say slowly, slowly. Someone wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and immediately said: "Thirty miles south of the county seat, there are hundreds of people gathered, they seem to want to be thieves, my lord, if you don't take them all down, I'm afraid... I'm afraid that soon, this Changting County will not be peaceful. ”

Song Ci thought to himself, why is he a thief again? Why has this Changting County become like this? As early as the beginning, there had never been another county, and it was a cricket and a rebellion, what did they want?

"Folks, I don't know if you're mistaken? Are you sure there is a thief in this? These people can't be doing something in a crowd. ”

"My lord, we can see it clearly, there is no fake at all, what is this not a thief? They have made all the flags, and this is absolutely true.

At this time, Song Ci was furious, these people must be dissatisfied with the imperial court, but if they are all poor people who do this in order to take revenge on the magistrate, it is really understandable.

It's just that as the county governor of the Great Song Dynasty, how can he not ask?

There are hundreds of these thieves, and they have an advantage in numbers, but I hope they have no weapons in their hands, otherwise this battle will be difficult to fight.

"Wencheng Wenwu, hurry up and bring someone out, at this moment, I should go and take a look."

"Yes, my lord."

"By the way, I have to hope that a few of you will lead the way later, so that I don't have to walk in vain, everyone, you won't have an opinion!

They hurriedly agreed, things are already like this, how can they refuse?

In the yamen, more than 200 officers and soldiers were all in place, and under the leadership of Song Ci and a few villagers, they soon walked on the streets of the county seat, and then went out of the city.
