Chapter Thirty-Eight: An Min Ping Bandits
Gongzi Qi placed Miss Ling in the back hall, walked out and stood in the hall of the government by himself, and summoned the county magistrate and the county lieutenant to the lobby to discuss matters. Gongzi Qi stood in the lobby and wandered, and the officials stood on both sides, waiting for the county magistrate, and after the county lieutenant arrived, he stepped forward and sat at the desk in the hall.
"Who is the county magistrate?"
The county man stood up and bent down and saluted: "The lower official is here." ”
"How many refugees are there in the county? How many houses to build? You go and count it, and you can report it when the statistics are complete. ”
"Yes," the county retreated and walked out of the mansion.
"Who is the county lieutenant?"
The county lieutenant got up and stood up, bent down and saluted, "The lower official is here." ”
"How's the law and order in the county?"
"In the era of war, bandits were rampant, they robbed pedestrians and merchants on the road, killed people indiscriminately, and harassed the government."
"Didn't you go up to the mountains to encircle and suppress the people to keep the peace of the people?"
"We have taken people up the mountain to clear up many times, but the bandits have not decreased, but have become more and more suppressed."
"Do you know why this plague is getting more and more cracked? It was forced by your government, and the government did not give the people a way to live and be homeless before they went up to the mountains to become bandits, and of course, there was war. ”
"The lower official is guilty."
"Presumably you know the law of bandit dispatch, tell me about the law of bandit dispatch."
"The most frequent bandits are generally in spring and autumn."
"It's autumn now, send a caravan out of the city with silver taels to lure the bandits into the county seat. The common people in the city continued to act as usual, and when these officers and soldiers were half-city merchants and bandits entered the city to rob, they hid these people who came and went, and closed all the city gates. ”
The county Cheng walked into the gate of the county government quickly, and Gongzi Qi walked out of the government office and stood opposite the county government. The county man knelt down and bowed, "Your Highness." Gongzi Qi helped up the county and said: "Don't be polite, please get up." The county leader was welcomed into the hall of the government and asked, "How many refugees are there in the city?" ”
"More than three hundred and eighty."
"What kind of empty house is there in the county office?"
"There is a mansion that has been abandoned for many years after the government office."
"Well, okay, let's temporarily settle these refugees in the long-abandoned mansion after the government office." After the matter was arranged, she walked into the back hall, and Miss Ling sat on a stone bench in the pavilion behind the palace, and there was a stone table in front of the stone bench. Gongzi Qi walked into the pavilion and stepped forward, and Miss Ling stood up and walked in front of Gongzi Qi, smiling. Gongzi Qi and Miss Ling sat opposite each other in front of the stone table.
"Why do they listen to you?"
"Because I'm your general."
Gongzi Qi looked at Miss Ling, Miss Ling lowered her head and didn't say a word, she was very cute and well-behaved, she was so quiet today I don't know what this ghost girl is thinking? Gongzi Qi stretched out his hand to touch her nose to amuse her, and Miss Ling stretched out her hands to hold his outstretched hand, and smiled: "Hehe, you don't need to touch my nose." ”
The county lieutenant stepped into the pavilion and reported, "Your Highness, the soldiers in the city have come to report that the bandits have entered the city." ”
"Okay, come out of the house with me."
Before entering the city, these bandits visited the city gate, and there were people coming and going in the county seat, and there were people next to them: "Will there be fraud?" ”
"I intercepted a caravan entering the city just now, and I gained a lot, apparently they didn't know about our arrival."
When they stepped into the county seat unscrupulously, they saw that the gate of the county seat was closed, and the people who came and went in the city disappeared for no reason. The officers and soldiers in the city, disguised as vendors, took out steel swords and surrounded them. The bandits rode on their horses and raised their knives to slash, and from behind these surrounding officers and soldiers, the spears came out, and the bandits surrounded in the middle were picked off their horses, and the steel knives were placed on their necks, and then these bandits were escorted to the bottom of the hall, and Gongzi Qi sat on the top of the hall.
Several bandits stood under the hall and refused to kneel, and several officials stepped forward and stood on both sides and stretched out their hands to press on their shoulders, kicking out to make these bandits kneel under the hall, "You dog officials, you only know how to bully our people, when the enemy soldiers are coming, why don't you go to the front line to resist the attacking army?" ”
"Why did you go up to the mountains to be bandits?"
"If it weren't for your government forcing good people to become prostitutes, who would want to go up to the mountains to be bandits?"
"Our country is in crisis, why don't you serve the country, the time of national crisis is the time to employ people."
"Since this country does not love our people, why should we love this country?"
Gongzi Qi walked down and stood in front of these bandits, knelt down in front of these bandits, and said: "You said it well, we, as your clothes, parents and officials, do not think about the people, but exploit the people, collect the people's capital and people's ointment, and under Gongzi Qi will make amends to you." ”
The county lieutenant led all the officers and soldiers to kneel around Gongzi Qi and said, "Your Highness." ”
"Are you the Gongzi Qi who led five hundred dead soldiers to kill back 100,000 Qin soldiers?"
"Exactly down there."
"I admire the son very much, and today I have the fate to see the son, please accept the grass people."
"Everyone, please get up, now the six countries of Shandong are eyeing our country of Bashu, especially the powerful Qin State, and now our country is in danger, please also take refuge in the imperial court and serve the country."
"We swear to follow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the death."
"You go back first, and persuade the owner of your cottage that the country is employing people, and the country needs you."
"Your Highness looks down on us grass people so much, I will definitely persuade my eldest brother to go down the mountain to join the court."
"Okay, I'll wait here for you to come down the mountain."
"Farewell," the man said goodbye.
Gongzi Qi sent to the door of the palace, bent down and saluted, stood up, and looked into the distance. The bandit leader looked at Gongzi Qi, who was standing at the door of the mansion, and they all knelt down and kowtowed.
Gongzi Qi entered the government office, called the county Cheng, and said: "Set up a few porridge factories, rescue these refugees, and build houses for them to settle here." ”
"Okay, the next official will do it immediately."
Gongzi Qi walked into the inner hall and stood in front of Miss Ling, and said: "Miss Ling, please invite your father to come, it is inevitable that there will be sick and cold among the refugees, your father is Langzhong, and it is the essence of Langzhong to help the world, please come and treat these refugees." ”
"Okay, I'll go back and ask my father to come."
The bandit leader went up the mountain into the cave, sitting on the tiger skin chair is the cottage boss, with a big beard, thick eyebrows and big eyes, the eyes are big and sticking out, the two eyeballs are like big copper balls turning around, there are two vertical lines between the eyebrows, it is very powerful. Its sound is like a bell, and its body is as big as a mountain.
"Second stunned, what did you gain from going down the mountain this time?"
"Big brother, it's not a long-term way for us to make a living by robbing money and food, let's take refuge in the government and the court, and find a way out for our brothers."
"Did you kid be bribed by the government, come to be their lobbyist, say nothing I won't go back to the government, drag this kid down and lock him up, let him think about it."
Then a few stout people stood out, walked out of the hall with two stunned people, and closed the door in the room to think about it. The second stunned man walked around the house, got up and looked at the window, and shouted, "Brother, brother." The brother who was guarding the door turned to look inside the door, and the second stunned man continued to whisper, "Come here, come here." The man opened the door, walked into the room, closed the door, and stood in front of the man and handed the note to him.
"Take this thing to the county government and give it to Gongzi Qi."
"This ——," This person hesitated, the first was afraid that the boss would find out that he couldn't get out of the relationship, and the second cave was extremely tightly guarded, and it was difficult to get out.
"You just said that if you ask me to go out to do errands, this note must be handed over to Gongzi Qi's hand, this is to buy money at the gate of the cave, they won't embarrass you, if something happens, I'll take it."
