The officer was furious and shouted, "Bold minion! Do you know what the hell grandma is talking about? If we don't open the door again, we'll force our way in, and then we'll raze this place to the ground, so that you bastard won't die well!" ”

"Hahaha!" The Zhang Mansion minion laughed wildly, "What a big breath! Open your dog's eyes and see what kind of place this is! This is Zhangjiabao! ”

As he spoke, he gestured his hand. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Suddenly, even Wu Song was taken aback. I saw that on the tower of Zhangjiabao, a large group of archers and knife and axe hands appeared, with knives in hand and bows on the string. Hundreds of arrows were pointed at the Turkish army outside the castle, and if they attacked, they would surely suffer heavy casualties!

These guards of Zhang's Mansion are all dressed in neat clothes, and they look more majestic and majestic than the Tujun army under the city tower!

Wu Song really didn't expect that a landlord in a county could have such a huge private army. Doesn't it mean that in the feudal era, the emperor was the most taboo for the common people to hide weapons and was worried about someone rebelling? How dare this big family be so blatant?

The officer who shouted was also startled when he saw so many archers and axe men suddenly appearing on the tower of Zhangjiabao City.

But at this time, the top boss, the county magistrate Xu En, was behind him, and he couldn't look too cowardly, so he tried to calm down and shouted: "What a Zhangjiabao!" I think it's a bandit's den! In broad daylight, Zhang Dahu and his mother actually dared to raise the army privately, didn't his grandmother want to rebel? Zhang Dahu doesn't want his grandmother to live? His。。。。。。 ”

He was about to say that he suddenly heard a "whoosh" and a sharp arrow flew towards him. Frightened, he hurriedly retreated, sat down on the ground, and his face suddenly turned pale.

There was a burst of laughter from the upper floor of Zhangjiabao City. The arrow of the slave of the Zhang Mansion did not want to shoot the officer who shouted to death, but just wanted to scare him, seeing that the officer was so embarrassed, he scolded with a smile: "If you dare to be disrespectful to our big lord, shoot the gadgets in your fucking crotch!" ”

"Hahahaha!" There was another burst of laughter from the castle tower.

The officer who shouted tried to pretend that he was not afraid, but when he opened his mouth, he could no longer speak. After all, they are only Turkish troops, and although they usually bully and scare ordinary people, they are very majestic, but they have never been on the battlefield with real swords and guns, and their courage is very limited.

Seeing this situation, Xu En had no choice but to ask Wu Song again: "Wu Song, what do you think?" ”

This situation was also completely unexpected by Wu Song. His original intention was to lead the army with Xu En, go straight to Zhangjiabao, and capture Zhang Dahu. As long as Zhang Dahu is captured, he can naturally be forced to stop inciting and coercing the villagers who are besieging the county government.

This plan, for lifting the siege of the county government, was originally a clever move to encircle Wei to save Zhao and draw salary from the bottom of the kettle. Although Zhang Dahu is the local tyrant overlord of Qinghe County, he is only a landlord after all, and he should not dare to openly oppose the army led by the magistrate, otherwise it will be a rebellion.

Who knows, Zhang Dahu is so arrogant! Not only did he privately raise armed forces that were stronger than the officers and soldiers, but he also dared to openly disobey the orders of the magistrate, and he didn't take the Turkish army led by the magistrate into account at all!

This can be considered a rebellion. However, Zhangjiabao is so strong, and the Zhang family's private armed forces are stronger than the officers and soldiers, so what can Xu En do?

Wu Song thought for a while and said to Xu En: "My lord, I don't know how long it will take to go back and forth from here to the state capital to transfer troops?" ”

Xu En was taken aback and said, "Transferring troops to the state capital?" Do you really want to forcibly attack Zhangjiabao? ”

Wu Song said: "Not bad. Zhang Dahu's private army, resisting the officers and soldiers, and inciting the villagers to besiege the county government, is clearly a rebellion, and the evidence is conclusive! We should immediately report to the state government and ask the state government to send troops to annihilate Zhangjiabao in one fell swoop! ”

Xu En immediately shook his head and said, "The state government will not send troops!" ”

Wu Song was stunned for a moment and said, "Why is this?" ”

Xu Endao: "One is that Lord Zhizhou and Zhang Dahu have always been friends, and the other is that if the state government is asked to send troops to attack Zhangjiabao and sit in the name of Zhang Dahu's rebellion, then it needs to be played to the court, and the matter will be big, Zhang Dahu also has a relationship in the court, if we say that our officials force the people to rebel, I and the state government have to be responsible!" ”

Wu Song said angrily: "What are these words! This big household is rampant in the township, the fish and meat people, it should have been severely punished a long time ago, and now he is privately raising arms, besieging the county government, and the traces of rebellion have been revealed, whether it is for the court or the people, he should be taken down immediately, how can he indulge and raise tigers because he is afraid of being involved? No wonder, Song Jiang, Fang La, Tian Hu, Wang Qing, etc., there will be so many man-made rebellions later! ”

When Xu En heard this, he asked in surprise, "Wu Song, what did you say?" ”

Wu Song was startled, and immediately realized that he had slipped his mouth.

At this time, Xu En naturally didn't know the names of Song Jiang, Fang La and others, these people had not rebelled yet, and he had said in advance what he had seen in the book before the crossing, which was regarded as a leak of heaven.

He hurriedly changed his words: "I had a dream recently, and I dreamed that these people actually dared to rebel, but then they were all recruited by the imperial court. If the local officials are afraid of being responsible, and they don't dare to investigate the rebellion of bullies like Zhang Dahu, then Wu Song's dream will come true! ”

Xu En sighed and said, "This is also the reason why Minister Cai Jing wants to advocate the reform of the law!" Only by changing the law can we crack down on local tyrants and consolidate the rule of the imperial court. But before the law reform is implemented, we must not make a mistake, so as not to cause social unrest! Wu Song, it is impossible to ask the state government to send troops, and it is too late, you quickly find another way! ”

Wu Song planned in his heart, at this time, the combat effectiveness of the Turkish army led by himself and Xu En was obviously inferior to Zhang Dahu's private army, and he was not good at leading troops to fight, so it was impossible to attack Zhangjiabao hard.

He rode forward and personally shouted to the servants of the Zhang family, saying, "The people on the city tower have listened. Zhang Dahu privately raised arms and resisted official orders, which was a serious crime. If the court investigates it, you will all be blamed. However, the magistrate led the army this time, and he didn't want to force Zhang Dahu to a dead end, but just wanted to persuade him with good words. If you don't want to know that the county lord forcibly attacked the city and confirmed Zhang Dahu's crime of rebellion, please ask Zhang Dahu to go out of the city to see the county lord, otherwise you will bear the consequences! ”

Unexpectedly, the slave of Zhang's Mansion was still arrogant, and said categorically: "Our Master Zhang is eating now, and he is not available!" The magistrate really wants to see our master, come back tomorrow! ”

It seems that Zhang Dahu is using a delaying strategy. Because, tomorrow, the siege of the county government is incomprehensible, and the minister of the Qin mission arrives, Xu En will not be able to escape the crime of neglecting the Qin mission and having no way to govern it.

With the contradiction between this minister and Cai Jing, coupled with Zhang Dahu's instigation, it is not impossible for him to take this opportunity to severely punish Xu En, deprive Xu En of his official position, send Xu En to prison and exile, and even try to kill him on "trumped-up" charges.
