Chapter 118: Half-city smoke and sand, half-city thieves

Li Kou did not completely deprive Liu Dutou of his position.

He wanted these people to do things for him.

Liu Dutou was robbed of his liver and gallbladder at this time, how dare he fight again?

He stood behind Li Kou with a knife on his shoulder, his head down and he didn't dare to look directly at this guy.

He is a native of Panyuan, how can he not know how the people of the county live after the lockdown?

This guy single-handedly controls the lives of the people of the county.

Liu Dutou was thinking about the tears of the whole family.

He was deprived of the position of head of the capital by Li Kou, and his family came to cry together.

He has young and old waiting for a meager salary to feed him.

He still has the ambition to be a hundred generals.

Liu Dutou's father told him: "The second son of the fold holds the Xiang army, Murong Zhixian relies on the pillar stone, he is a famous Weizhou, why do you have to fight with him?" Be obedient and listen to him, that is, you will go east, and you will forget the west. The head of the capital can be taken off with one bite, and naturally one bite can be returned to you, but whoever listens to him, just remember not to take risks, and some are good days-if you don't look at the only one who responds to the order, can you say a few more words in front of Murong Zhixian? What a great opportunity, how can it be wasted? ”

Because of this sentence, Liu Dutou voluntarily became a personal follower.

He followed Li Kou to stand at the head of the city, and watched this man patrol with a steel knife in his hand several times before mastering the military heart.

Xiang Jun has no status, Zhang is imprisoned and killed, the army is in turmoil, and the group of dragons has no leader.

At this time, Li Kou took Zhe Yanzhi as the prisoner of the army, and took Murong Yanda to live in the city tower, who can collect the military heart if he doesn't collect the military heart?

Li Kou chatted with Luda about Pan Yuan's current situation, but someone came to make trouble after the news of the lockdown spread.

"Those guys in the rice grain store are very honest." Li Kou said, "Only those landlords have always regarded themselves as big households in Panyuan, and now they dare to make noise and try to force the county government to cancel the order to close the city. You go and lead all the men, don't patrol, and keep an eye around those big houses, but if you have an order, just break down the door. ”

He said solemnly: "However, first, you must not bully the old and weak women and children, second, you must not take money from yourself, and third, anyone who takes advantage of the chaos to rob will be killed, I don't ask if there are many thieves, but Brother Luda looks at the flagpole at the head of the city, and the flagpole does not fall, so he hangs the thief's head and does not stop." ”

Ruda was ordered to hurry to find Orihiko.

He understands that this is a mobile force.

Li Kou turned around and said: "Liu Dutou, you lead a group of men and horses, people are equipped with swords, guns, bows and arrows, horses are dressed in light armor, divided into two teams, patrol the city during the day, anyone who does not respect the order to travel without permission, twenty rods, if one escapes, I only ask your head." ”

Liu Dutou was happy and worried, and hurriedly took the order and left.

Li Kou also taught Huang Shu to lead 50 troops and divide them into two teams to patrol day and night.

Huang Shu said: "I'm going to keep an eye on that grain merchant......

"No, I'll keep an eye on him myself." Li Kou took the steel knife to find Murong Yanda.

Murong Yanda and his henchmen are arguing.

He didn't avoid Li Kou, and when they met, he first said that Tong Guan and Chen Zouma would bear the reaction.

Murong said: "Tong Guan is cunning, he is unwilling to take responsibility, as long as he sits back and enjoys his success." ”

"Seeing small profits and forgetting the great righteousness, nature." Li Kou said, "What did Chen Zouma say? ”

The courtyard said: "I promised to go around, but this guy is ......"

"Convenient, give him a glass treasure plate." Li Kou said, "Brother Murong doesn't have to be upset, what we want is time." Tong Guan pressed this matter, so we had more time, and Chen Zouma took it and helped to deal with it, and there was half a month to find the murderer. The lockdown is a military order that has been pacified by a little pressure, but how to solve the problem......"

Murong Yanda waved his hand and only said: "Brother doesn't have this ability, Da Lang has any plans, just give orders." ”

"Brother Murong just wants to have too many miscellaneous things, it's okay, Brother Murong is in charge of the county government and allocates manpower, maybe these two cases are still opportunities, Brother Murong is promoted to Weizhou General Judgment and even Jingyuan Road What kind of civilian official position, it is in the credit for solving the case." Li Kou said, "I'm afraid that we will have to work hard Brother Murong tonight, and we have to catch the grain merchants off guard." ”

Murong Yanda was a little strange.

"After the closure of Panyuan, the city's grain storage was limited, and after the Chang closed position, only these large families and grain stores had the grain to support their lives. Brother Murong must know how much grain is stored in the warehouse, and we must know how much grain is in the hands of grain merchants. Li Kou said.

Murong Yanda's old face turned red, and he hurriedly glanced at the courtyard.

Pan Yuan has a county government subordinate to the regular closing position, but in fact, it is not called a regular closing position.

And there is very little food in stock.

Murong Yanda had never inspected the grain storage in the county government at all.

This time, he only remembered this after being reminded by Li Kou.

Not long after, Li Kou led the two foot soldiers to accompany Murong Yan to the outside of Miliang Street.

Two lanterns of "Zhang Dalang's rice grain" were hung at the entrance of the alley, and there was not a single pedestrian on the street.

Li Kou asked people to arrest a few idlers who watched the excitement during the day, and the people were naturally worried when they saw that the government was moving.

When the military horse arrived, there were still some parents, and the parents scolded them and quickly closed the door.

Li Kou didn't hear it, and led the pawn outside the rice store.

He looked back at the woman dressed as a man, who was hiding in the crowd and nodded.

This inventory requires reliable people who are literate.

They all knocked on the door, and soon someone from inside opened the door.

Murong Yanda said: "Pan Yuan wants to seal the city, and this official will inspect your family's grain storage and open a warehouse." ”

The person who opened the door hesitated for a moment, and said that he would ask the owner of the shop.

"If you don't eat a toast, you should be punished." Murong Yanda couldn't wait patiently, so he stepped forward.

There was no infantry armor in the van army, but the archers must have shields.

The shield hand slammed the door hard, knocked through the roadblock and went straight to the rice grain store.

Li Kou remained silent, dismounted and followed the foot soldiers into the door to take a look.

The shop was brightly lit, and the wheat was being measured.

More than a dozen stout men wearing only a pair of calf trousers were carrying wheat buckets and pouring dusty wheat from one wheat hoard to another.

How?

Li Kou pushed aside the crowd and grabbed it, and pulled a person to ask where Zhang Dalang was.

Where is this wheat, it is clearly half dirt and half old grain.

Profiteer!

Sure enough, Murong Yanda came over and immediately ordered a ban.

"Since this official took office, he has heard a lot about Panyuan's grain and soil, and he has seen it today." Murong Yanda took advantage of the topic to ask the Xiang army to control the grain line.

His idea is very simple, and only what he grasps in his own hands can be controlled.

Li Ko gave him a wink.

Murong Yanda respected Li Kou's command.

He threw down a handful of wheat and patted off the dust, and told the soldiers to gather the people in the shop first.

The two turned out of the courtyard, and Murong Yanda asked Li Kou what his plan was.

"Zhang Dalang is a profiteer, and he cannot be severely punished at this time. For such people, where does the food come from, and why have the people of Pan Yuan refused to resist for so many years? He has a backstage, and we just need to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger, which will inevitably make him jump out of the backstage. Li Kou said, "And at this time, we have to investigate the Western thief spy and crack the case of Zhang Prison, Zhang Dalang's rice grain store is a flaw, what should the enemy do in the state of lockdown?" They can only unite with each other, the people of Panyuan County eat, and Zhang Dalang's family shoulders half of the heavy responsibility, we want to grasp this place in our hands, can't the enemy see the benefits of doing so? ”

Murong Yanda suddenly realized and couldn't help but say: "What Da Lang thinks is the best-that's it, brother doesn't care, you can do it." ”

Li Kou knew that this guy was also cowering to protect himself and shirk his responsibilities.

Anyway.

He was his shrunken head and knew the county, and he was giving him the opportunity to be familiar with the county government and teach the county affairs.

Li Kou looked at Murong Yanda and led his relatives back, and he stood at the entrance of Miliang Street with a smile on his face.

At this moment, catkins came in the wind and fell on Li Kou's shoulders.

Li Kou stretched out his hand to hold a catkins, and danced to the ground with a light blow.

"The spring scene in Kansai is very beautiful, but the people in Panyuan County are very sneaky, and they are all hidden under masks - who is this Zhang Dalang hiding behind?" Li Kou thought about turning back into the courtyard.

In the end, more than a dozen people came out of the backyard, and there was a crowd of people in sauce-colored satin robes - it was Zhang Dalang?
