The reason why Qin Chuan wants to be an official is because there are some things that ordinary people can't do, but those who are officials can do it openly.

With an official in hand, he can quickly accumulate strength without arousing the alarm of the imperial court.

When the court notices him, he can be like Zuo Liangyu, listening to the tune and not listening to the announcement.

But now, this official position doesn't seem to be so easy to get.

Qin Chuan found that he was still a little simple, completely because he had watched too many brain-dead costume dramas.

He is a thief himself, and if he can't play the game of officialdom, he should do things in the way of a thief.

So, after the tumour petty official was furious, Qin Chuanli ignored him and walked straight back to Zhuangzi.

Luo Da Niu even pressed his hand on the handle of the knife, and asked horizontally: "Big boss, do you want me to go out and cut that guy with a knife?" ”

"Nope." Qin Chuan shook his head, "If they don't do it, let's try not to provoke them." ”

"Will the two hundred heads be returned to them?"

"Give a fart, the people in this Ninghua Qianhu Institute are too unreliable, let's find someone else to buy officials, so that the brothers can cheer up and prepare for war."

"Okay."

Qin Chuan, Luo Daniu and the others said as they walked, and the birds were not scolded by the tumor official outside.

The little official was so angry that he wanted to beckon left and right to kill Zhuangzi, but when he saw that there were many Jingle County officials watching, he finally held back, and rode his horse towards the location of the Lord Qianhu.

The officials of Jingle County are not all the way to them, and he doesn't dare to kill Liang in front of outsiders.

……

Han Maozheng sat on the ground with a deerskin, drank a bowl of hot jerky soup, and comfortably stroked his belly full of fat.

After a long time in battle, pampered and pampered for many years, his horizontal flesh has long become fat, and his strength is not as good as before, and he can't get up with back pain after only walking for one day.

Just as he was comfortable, his subordinate Xiaoqi Chen Tuozi came over and said what had just happened.

After listening to Chen Maozi's words, Han was so angry that he smashed a porcelain bowl and scolded: "Stupid, don't you know if you promise him first and get the head first?" ”

Chen Maozi haunted: "My lord, his subordinates have already agreed to him, but he said that it is okay not to do this deal." ”

"Humph! Go and tell him that Ben Qianhu promised him a hundred-household job and asked him to give away the head. ”

"Yes."

Chen Maozi slipped into the horse and went to Zhuangzi again.

Outside the gatehouse, Chen Maozi raised his voice and shouted: "Listen, the master of a thousand households has promised you a job of a hundred households, why don't you send the head out quickly?" ”

Qin Chuan poked his head out from behind the wall battlement and smiled: "Xiaomin said, it's okay if you don't do this deal, your lord, please go back." ”

Chen Maozi was furious: "This is the express order of the Lord of Qianhu, do you dare to disobey?" ”

"Hehe, Xiaomin is not a military household in Ninghua, and the orders of Lord Qianhu can't control Xiaomin's head."

"You ......"

"Your Excellency, please take care of yourself."

After that, Qin Chuan retracted his head, too lazy to pay attention to him.

Chen Maozi was so angry that he scolded for a while, and then rode his horse back.

After listening to Chen Maozi's description, Han Mao was immediately furious, stood up and got on his horse, and led several hundred households and nearly a hundred private soldiers under his command to come towards the gatehouse with murderous spirit.

"Lord Han of Ninghua Thousand Households is here, and the guy upstairs is not going to come out and talk soon." Chen Zhuoz stepped forward immediately and shouted.

Qin Chuan poked his head out again, and saw nearly a hundred guards below, hugging this fat officer who was facing the mediocre officer, presumably it was Han Qianhu.

"Who are you?" Seeing him come up, Han Mao asked with a calm face.

Qin Chuan arched his hand: "Hui Qianhu Lord, Xiaomin Qin Chuan, Huoshui Hongdong Jiuji Mountain, is a distant relative of the Meng family, and is now the chief steward of the Meng family." ”

"I heard that this official has the head of a two-hundred-level old bandit in your hand?"

"Lord Hui, this is indeed the case, the two hundred level of the head was exchanged for the life of the villager of the Honzhuang Nursing Academy."

"In this case, don't hand it over to the official quickly, when the official writes about the enemy's situation, he will definitely show you a meritorious service, and you will be indispensable for the position of a hundred households."

"Huh." Qin Chuan smiled, "Those heads don't bother with adults, Xiaomin will be presented to the Taiyuan prefect, and the adults should please go back." ”

After that, Qin Chuan retracted back into the battlement.

Han Mao was so angry that his fat trembled, and he pointed to the gatehouse and shouted angrily: "Dare to make a fool of the people, dare to hide the head of the thief, could it be that you can't have an affair with the thief."

？ ”

"You can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense, and the adults will deduct a hat of fornication and thieves to the small people, do you want to rob the villagers and kill the good and risk the success?"

"You ......"

Han Mao's chest was short, and he pulled out his waist knife with a bang.

He has been in the army for so many years, and he has never seen such a bold Diao Min, the gentleman of the rich side, when he saw him, he had to politely shout my lord, this little steward of the Meng family, dared to shout with him in public, did it turn against the sky?

"Come on."

Han Mao's face was full of murderous anger, he waved his knife and shouted: "Mengjiazhuang collaborated with the enemy and colluded with the bandits, secretly hid the head of the thief, the crime is unforgivable, surround me, take them all, behead them on the spot, and clear the countryside!" ”

"Yes!"

The hundreds of private soldiers showed their weapons and spread out in formation on the spot, several heralds rode around, waving various colored flags, and the guards who were originally cutting off people's heads also hurriedly put down their heads and lined up on the spot.

The officials and villagers of Jingle County looked at each other.

The magistrate didn't come, and all the officials and townsmen obeyed the magistrate's master, but before leaving, the magistrate asked them to obey Han Qianhu's command, now should they ask the master first, or listen to Han Qianhu directly?

Chen Congzhi also had a headache, he was the master of He Changbao in Zhixian County, he thought that Mengjiazhuang would only need to cut some heads and go back to hand over the errand, but he didn't expect Han Mao to beat Mengjiazhuang.

The housekeeper of Mengjiazhuang was also stunned, wouldn't it be okay to obediently give the head to Han Mao? has to fix this one, and now the Meng family is definitely finished.

He knows the people of the Meng family, there are two shops of the Meng family in the county, every time the Meng family honors the county master, it is the money he collects, and he has also eaten wine with Meng Guiming a few times, but it is limited to that.

He didn't care about the life or death of the Meng family, but everyone knew that the Meng family had just been a bandit, but Han Mao had to charge the Meng family with being a bandit, how could this be done?

When I checked it up, it was strange if I didn't show the stuffing.

When the time comes, when the time comes, he and the county magistrate will definitely be charged with killing good and risking merit.

That Han Mao is really a headless and brainless reckless man.

"Go, send an order to the officials and villagers of Jingle County, let them line up into the village and attack the gate tower from the village."

Seeing that the people of Jingle County were at a loss for what to do, Han Mao shouted angrily.

Immediately, there was a herald to ride over and give Chen Congzhi an order.

Chen Congzhi's head became bigger and bigger, and he hurriedly rolled up his sleeves and ran all the way to Han Mao, sweating profusely and said: "Lord Han, I can't help it, the Meng family has just made a bad scene, and at this time, they will be charged with gangsters, but I am afraid that they will not be able to solve it when they are investigated." ”

Han Mao snorted coldly: "Now the entire land of Jin and Shaanxi is full of thieves, and they can't be suppressed from above, who has to empty the Meng family in the mountain pimple?" ”

"Adult ......"

"Don't talk nonsense, if you don't have the guts, just stay there, but don't blame Ben Qianhu for not reminding you in advance, the head of the people inside has nothing to do with your county magistrate."

After that, Han Mao didn't bother to pay attention to him, and rode away directly.

Chen Congzhi opened his mouth and couldn't say a word, so he had to shake his head and sigh, and then asked the people from the county government to divide the severed head into two parts and take one for himself.

He didn't dare to go back to the county seat at night, so he had to go to Jingyou Town, twenty miles to the north, for a night.

When the officials were picking up heads, Han Mao's guards were already lined up, one hundred of them were in front of the gatehouse, and the other two hundred rushed into the Zhuangzi through the gap in the courtyard wall, went around to the back of the gatehouse, and attacked the staircase of the gatehouse.

On the gatehouse, Qin Chuan looked at the officers and soldiers below and sneered.

Ba Shanhu and Li Biaofeng's 600 men and horses didn't dare to fight this gatehouse, among Han Mao's 300 soldiers, only less than 100 private soldiers barely had the strength to fight, and the rest were old, weak, sick and disabled. I don't know how to do it.

It's a good thing to let your subordinates see the battle of the regular army.

If he had the chance, he also wanted to take the opportunity to rob this group of guards.

Because, he fell in love with the two things of the guards, the same is the war horse, Han Mao has about seventy or eighty war horses, most of which are ridden by private soldiers.

The other is cotton nails.

The Ming Dynasty prohibits the private casting of weapons, and it is strictly forbidden to cast firearms privately, and now at the end of the Ming Dynasty, this prohibition is almost useless, almost everyone in the countryside village and fort has weapons, and even Meng Guiming, a Jin merchant who does business, can get a few firearms.

In this regard, the imperial court turned a blind eye, after all, the bandits were serious, and it was understandable that the villagers and villagers should bring their own weapons to prevent thieves.

However, armor is never allowed to be made privately.

No matter how chaotic the court is, no matter how many bandits there are, as long as someone dares to hide the armor privately, it is a major crime of rebellion against the nine clans.

Therefore, knives and guns can be seen everywhere among the people, but there is basically no armor in circulation, and even bandit leaders like Bashan Tiger do not even have a pair of cotton armor under their subordinates, because they can't grab it, and they can't make it themselves.

Qin Chuan himself didn't have it.

Li Biaofeng and Tongtian Zhu have a few pairs of people, and they should have been snatched from the officers and soldiers.

Today, among Han Mao's three hundred people, there are probably more than 100 pairs of cotton armor, most of which are still well preserved.

In addition to the war horses, Qin Chuan's most coveted thing was this batch of cotton armor.

You have to find a chance to grab it.
