Chapter Ninety-Nine: Grievance
Considering that Xu Guangqi's face was not good-looking, Guo Zhiyuan slowed down his tone and said: "Of course, what Mr. Xu said is also reasonable, the bandits are powerful, the enemy is outnumbered, we can only outwit the enemy, as the so-called knowing oneself and knowing the enemy, invincible in a hundred battles, Zhang Cheng, you can introduce the bandit intelligence you have collected......
Zhang Cheng hurriedly stood up and arched his hand: "According to the information collected by the villain, there are more than a dozen large and small bandit forces in Gutian, of which there are three main forces, namely the diamond leopard, the poisonous king bee and the rattlesnake three forces, the bandits gathered are more than 1,000 people, especially this diamond leopard is the most ferocious, not only robbing property, and never leaving a living mouth, the people are very angry, this attack on Yuping Town is him!" The prefect's yamen also sent officials and soldiers to encircle and suppress him, but this leopard was very cunning, coming and going like the wind, and immediately drilled into the mountains after slaughtering the village, no one knew where his nest was, and the officials and soldiers were helpless to take him......"
Guo Zhiyuan patted his forehead with a little headache, even though he was determined to suppress the bandits, but he didn't even know where the bandits' lair was, so he could only catch the blind, and the others looked at each other a few times, and they all felt helpless, so they discussed it all night but didn't come up with any good solution.
And at this time, Wang Demin was not idle, looking for someone to spread rumors everywhere, saying that this time Yuping Town was slaughtered by bandits because Guo Zhiyuan was arrogant and did not do his best to suppress the bandits, and as a result, he angered the leopard in the mountain, so he took the people of Yuping Town to vent his anger and prestige, it can be said that Guo Zhiyuan harmed the people of Yuping Town, if he is allowed to continue to serve as the county commander, the people of Gutian will suffer!
I have to say that this rumor spread by Wang Demin is really too vicious, turning people's fear of bandits into resentment against Guo Zhiyuan, and the people who have already accepted Guo Zhiyuan's new county order suddenly became hostile to Guo Zhiyuan, and the recruitment announcement posted by Guo Zhiyuan was all torn up by the people, and even impulsive people ran to the county government to scold Guo Zhiyuan and let Guo Zhiyuan get out of Gutian County!
Several justices of the peace also came to Guo Zhiyuan, and demanded that he disband the group training and suspend the anti-bandit action so as not to further anger the bandits and bring disaster to the people of Gutian County.
Guo Zhiyuan had a sense of powerlessness for the first time, he was obviously thinking about the people of Gutian, wanting to exterminate the bandits and let them live and work in peace and contentment, but the people did not sell his accounts, but transferred their grievances to him, thinking that he had harmed the people of Yuping Town. Can't blame the people for being short-sighted, people are selfish, the idea of sweeping the snow in front of the door and not caring about the frost on the tiles of others has existed since ancient times, as long as the tragedy does not happen to their heads, people will selectively bury their heads in the sand as ostriches, they are not aware of the potential danger at all, they are only willing to get by, you are kind and kind to help them remove the potential danger but they will be regarded as the enemy who destroys the current short-term security!
Now Guo Zhiyuan wants to suppress the bandits but can't find the bandits' lair, and he has nowhere to use his strength, and he has to bear the pressure of the people, which makes him both aggrieved and helpless, and he has no intention of participating in the training of the regiment training township soldiers, so he locked himself in the county government mansion and thought hard about countermeasures.
At this time, Zhang Chenglai reported that the surviving people of Yuping Town came to participate in the regimental training, and the surviving people of Yuping Town did not follow Guo Zhiyuan back to the county because they had to bury their dead relatives and deal with some aftermath, and now that the aftermath was dealt with, they signed up to participate in the regimental training according to the agreement with Guo Zhiyuan.
For these surviving people of Yuping Town, Guo Zhiyuan was also guilty, so he hurriedly beat his spirits and went to greet them in person with a smile, but Guo Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment when he saw them, because there was one more person among them, this was a teenager who was only thirteen or fourteen years old, very thin, and he didn't know what he had experienced, his clothes were rotten into strips of cloth, his whole body was covered with dense scars, and he was barefoot, and the wounds on it were even more shocking, and there was hardly an inch of good skin, only a pair of eyes are blazing, as if there is a flame burning in it!
Without waiting for Guo Zhiyuan to inquire, the young man who was impulsively going to cut Guo Zhiyuan with a knife in Yuping Town pointed to the scarred young man and whispered to Guo Zhiyuan: "My lord, this is the grandson of our grandson, his father and mother were also killed by bandits this time and became an orphan, so we brought him to ...... too."
Hearing that this young man is Sun Liren's grandson, Guo Zhiyuan became more and more guilty, it is hard to imagine how this young man can withstand this almost thunderbolt in the clear sky, not only lost his grandfather but also lost his parents, and became an orphan overnight, as well as his body This distressing scar made Guo Zhiyuan's heart hurt uncontrollably, and his eyes were a little moist, and he hurriedly walked over quickly, and asked softly: "It turned out to be the grandson of Sun Lao!" What is your name? ……”
"Sun Zhiyong!" The boy replied with a blank face.
"Good name! Wise and brave, there are successors to Sun Lao! You can rest assured, this official will definitely avenge you and let those bandits who killed your relatives pay for their blood debts! ......" Guo Zhiyuan nodded.
"No, you don't! I will personally cut off the head of the leopard and put it in front of the graves of my grandfather and my father and mother to pay their respects! The young man said coldly, still expressionless.
Guo Zhiyuan touched his nose a little embarrassed, but he was not displeased by Sun Zhiyong's rudeness, but admired his perseverance and ambition very much, and gave a thumbs up: "Okay!" Be ambitious! But you are still young, and the matter of revenge will be ...... when you grow up", as he spoke, he hurriedly turned his head to Zhang Cheng behind him and ordered: "Zhang Cheng, you quickly take him to Doctor Shen, put some medicine on his wound, bandage his wound, and then change him into clean clothes, let him recuperate in the hospital first, and then send him to the county to study after recovering from his injury, since he is old Sun, I can't treat him lightly......"
Sun Zhiyong refused to leave, and said stubbornly: "I'm not going anywhere, I want to participate in the regimental training army and avenge my grandfather and father!" ……”
Guo Zhiyuan frowned, this Sun Zhiyong is certainly worthy of admiration for being so resolute, but it is impossible to let him join the regimental training army, his regimental training army is all selected elites, how can it be possible to accept a teenager who is only thirteen or fourteen years old and so thin! He comforted softly: "Sun Zhiyong, you are commendable, and I understand your feelings, but participating in the regimental training is not a joke, not suitable for your age, you still listen to my arrangement, first take care of your injuries, and then go to the county to study, Sun Lao is such a descendant of you, if you have any accidents, how can I explain to Sun Lao's spirit in the sky!" ……”
