There is one thing Lin Fan said is not right, there was no mountain rain on the second day, there was only steaming heat.

This inescapable heat makes the population anxious, hot, and even more upset.

Of course, this so-called coming storm was just a sigh from him, and no one would take it seriously.

Lin Fan was on a horse, and around him were the soldiers of the Inspection Division and the people who were dragging their families to migrate.

Their group dragged on and didn't go fast, which couldn't help but make Lin Fan feel a little anxious.

According to the news from yesterday's Tanma newspaper, the vanguard of the thief army is only more than 100 miles away from the territory of Yongyang.

Fortunately, the situation faced by the thief army was not much better than Lin Fan's, and the speed of the march was not too fast, which gave him some respite.

Although he was anxious, Lin Fan couldn't show this emotion on his face. Now he is the backbone of this group of people, if even he can't hold his breath and falls in the eyes of everyone, I'm afraid there will be chaos.

Along the way, people kept joining their ranks, making the procession more and more scattered, and the confusion caused by the march also increased, constantly slowing them down.

Lin Fan could only send the already overstretched inspection department manpower to solve the problem and maintain order, until he even sent Li Qingshan, who had been by his side, to help, that the situation was much better.

Fortunately, although there were constant conditions along the way, there were no major problems, and everyone finally came to Yongyang County safely.

By the time they arrived at the county seat, the time had already come to Shenzheng, and it took them nearly a day to arrive from Wuguan to the county seat, which was less than thirty miles.

When Lin Fan came to the county seat, he found that the city was in chaos, and no one from the government came out to maintain order, resulting in a mess in the city, no one even arranged the basic city defense, and there was not even a figure on the city wall.

At this time, if there are thieves attacking, the consequences are unimaginable!

After arranging the accompanying people, Lin Fan did not dare to delay, and drove directly to the county office.

Ever since the accident with Ko Boon Seng's departure, the situation in Anju has been tense.

In this case, no one wants to come over to serve as the magistrate of Yongyang County, and the imperial court is busy with this disaster and bandits, so there is time to take care of a small Yongyang County.

Therefore, the imperial court has not appointed a new county order, and during the period when the county order is absent, the county government affairs have been temporarily represented by the county Chengtian Wuji.

When Lin Fan came to the county office, he found that the county government was also empty, there were several carriages parked at the gate of the county office, and several teams of garrisons with horses were waiting at the gate.

didn't have time to delve into these, and when he entered the county office, Lin Fan saw that Yang Yuanwang, the chief secretary of the county government, and the two flag officers of the garrison, Zhang and Yang, were also here.

When several of them saw Lin Fan hurriedly walking in, they hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

The matter was urgent, the thief army might arrive at any time, and Lin Fan was too lazy to be polite to them.

Instead, he asked angrily: "Why are everyone here, shouldn't Lord Yang be in the city to appease the people at this time?" There are also two flag officers, the thieves are coming, you don't organize the city defense on the city wall, what are you doing here? ”

"What about Lord Tian? What did he do? Why didn't he come forward to preside over the overall situation, so that now the dragons in the city are leaderless and the people are panicking, aren't you afraid that the thief army will take advantage of the chaos to attack the city? ”

Lin Fan's words were extremely unkind, and in Yang Yuanwang's opinion, he was not at all like the young man who was gentle and polite to everyone in everyone's impression.

Several people blushed a little when he said it, but Yang Yuanwang grabbed Lin Fan's arm, pulled him aside, and said softly: "Lord Lin, don't worry, it's not that we want to come here, it's that Lord Tian asked us all to call us over, saying that there is something important to discuss." ”

Hearing this, Lin Fan saluted him and said humbly: "I see, I couldn't control my anger just now, and I hope that Lord Yang and the two adults will not be strange!" ”

Yang Yuanwang waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care. Although Zhang and Yang were a little dissatisfied, it can be seen that Yang Yuanwang has already expressed his attitude, so it is not easy to care about it.

After explaining the reason, Yang Yuanwang said to Lin Fan: "What Lord Lin said, the city is in chaos like this, and Lord Lin should be angry." What I want to talk about is not about this matter, but the reason why Lord Tian called us here is probably to abandon the city! ”

When Lin Fan heard this, he was stunned for a moment before asking, "You mean that Tianxian Cheng wants to abandon the city?" ”

Yang Yuanwang motioned for him to be silent, and then said in a low voice: "I'm afraid that's exactly the case, now his family and servants are packing up their things in the back office, and the carriages at the door are used by him to escape for his life, and the garrison soldiers are acting as accompanying guards." ”

"Before Lord Lin came to the county office, he had been in the back office for a long time, and now he should have almost cleaned up, and it is estimated that he should come out soon. I pulled you over just to ask, what is Lord Lin going to do now? ”

Lin Fan glanced at Yang Yuanwang and knew that he didn't want to abandon the city, and he didn't want to tear his face directly with Tian Wujian, and after seeing through that he would never agree to abandon the city, he wanted to push himself to the front of the stage.

However, Lin Fan didn't care, anyway, it was impossible for him to abandon the city anyway, as long as Yang Yuanwang chose to stand on his side, Lin Fan didn't mind being used as a gun by him once.

However, before the two could talk more, Tian Wuqian came out of the back office and began to instruct the servants to carry things to the carriage, and the weight of the box should be gold and silver utensils.

Lin Fan took a step forward, stopped in front of Tian Wuji, bowed and saluted: "Your Excellency will see Lord Lin Fantian!" ”

Tian Wuqian saw him at this time, and nodded to him in response: "It turned out to be Lord Lin, I remember that this official did not let people call Lord Lin, I don't know why Lord Lin is not in the inspection department to be your errand, but he is in front of this official?" ”

Seeing that Tian Wujian was still arranging for someone to carry things, a wave of anger surged from the bottom of Lin Fan's heart.

He forced his anger and asked, "I wonder what your intentions are to pack your luggage and arrange the carriage?" ”

Tian Wujian saw that Lin Fan was not only still in front of him, but he also dared to question himself, and couldn't help but sink his face: "Hmph, what is this official going to do, I'm afraid it won't be Lord Lin's turn to ask, right?" ”

After that, he waved the sleeves of his robe, no longer paid attention to Lin Fan, and walked straight towards the carriage.

Lin Fan looked at his back and asked loudly, "My lord, but you want to abandon the city and flee?" ”

Tian Wuji's figure froze there suddenly, and after a while, he turned around and sneered at Lin Fan: "What about this official, what if you don't do it?" ”

Now that he has torn his face, Lin Fan is not ready to save face for Tian Wujian anymore.

"If not, now should we seize the time to arrange defense and appease the people, instead of hiding here to pack up the gold and silver and prepare to run away."

"If so, although the lord is temporarily acting as the county commander, as the head of a county, he should also know what the crime of losing land and land should be in the "Great Cloud Law", right?"

Since Gao Wensheng left, no one in the entire Yongyang dared to talk to Tian Wujian like this.

He was so angry that he trembled all over, and said angrily: "This official has not yet investigated you for leaving your post without permission, but you have begun to investigate this official, and you don't look in the mirror to see what you are!" Don't say that the official is not guilty, even if the official is guilty, it should be the court to reduce the guilt, what does it have to do with you? ”

"As long as the official document of the imperial court does not come down for a day, I will still be the chief official of Yongyang, and I will have the final say here, what kind of thing are you, and you dare to point fingers here?"

Although on the surface, Tian Wuqian has no fear, in fact, Tian Wujian is actually a little uncertain about this escape.

However, in his opinion, if he takes out the savings he has accumulated over the years, he should not fall to the ground, and at most he will lose the black yarn on the top of his head.

It's a little distressing to do this, but at least it can save the lives of the whole family. If you don't leave, when the thieves break through the city, I'm afraid the whole family will be wiped out here.

He made up his mind and no longer entangled with Lin Fan, after all, it was important to escape.

After everything was moved, he was ready to get into the carriage. And at this time, Lin Fan, who didn't open his eyes, said again: "If the adults are ready to be punished by the imperial court and are determined to leave, I will no longer impose obstacles." Just ask your lord to keep these sergeants behind for the purpose of defending the city. ”

If there was no one to escort him, and now the outside was in such a mess, and he led his family out of the city, and he still carried so much gold and silver, wouldn't it be a piece of fat that was actively sent to the thief's mouth?

Such a fat sheep, I'm afraid that everyone wants to take a bite, this Lin Fan wants the life of his family!

Tian Wuqi was extremely angry, and pointed at Lin Fan with his finger: "You... You...! ”

Lin Fan turned a blind eye to Tian Wuji's anger, and then said: "Yongyang is already a weak city defense, if the Lord takes these people away again, wouldn't it be equivalent to directly putting the people of the whole city under the blade of thieves?" ”

Although Zhang and Yang were military officers, they did not have the idea of death. originally thought that he could escape openly with Tian Wuji, but anyway, after the court pursued it, Tian Wuqian stood up to it, and it had nothing to do with them, so why not do it?

And now that Lin Fan wants to leave them behind, Zhang Feng'er on the opposite side has tens of thousands of people under him, how can they withstand it? Isn't it to stay and wait for death?

Lin Fan undoubtedly offended them this time, as for the money exchanges among the bandits in the past, the pitiful friendship formed, in normal times, naturally hello, hello, everyone, but at this time, how can your own life be important!

The two were about to have a seizure, when Lin Fan waved his hand to them, signaling them to calm down.

Keeping them behind was only the first step, and Lin Fan didn't want to get into too much trouble with them, which would be detrimental to defending the city.

He saluted the two of them and said, "You don't want to think about how much of a sin it is for you, as military attachés, to abandon the city and flee?" Tian Wuqian is a civil official, and if he does a good job, he may escape responsibility and leave a life. And the two of you are certain to die, after all, someone has to bear the responsibility for losing the city, right? You two have big heads, not too small, just right. ”

"So even if you escape, what awaits you is the severe punishment of the law, and the beheading and abandonment of the city is probably the lightest, maybe the whole family will not be able to save it!"

These words made Zhang and Yang break out in a cold sweat behind their backs, and many joints that were originally just trying to escape and didn't have time to think clearly were suddenly figured out.

This dynasty has always been noble and light-hearted, and it is extremely harsh to treat martial artists like them, if they really escape, what Lin Fan just said is probably their inevitable end.

Zhang and Yang retreated, Tian Wujian panicked all of a sudden, if there were no guards for these soldiers, these carriages carrying a large amount of goods out of the city would be sheep into the mouth of the tiger, and they would definitely die if they ventured out of the city.

Tian Wujian hated Lin Fan's trick and made a promise: "You can rest assured, you are acting on the orders of this official, if the court is held accountable, this official will bear it!" ”

Zhang Yanji and the others were a little moved, but they couldn't make up their minds yet, they looked at Lin Fan again, hesitating.

Tian Wujian knew that they were still worried about Lin Fan's obstruction, and said angrily: "This official is the acting chief officer of Yongyang, now my official position here is the highest, my words are orders, do you dare to disobey the order?" ”

With the order, Zhang and Yang no longer have to take responsibility, and their hearts are a little at ease, so they no longer hesitate, and hurriedly said: "Don't dare to be humble!" ”

At this point, it is useless to say more.

Lin Fan stared at Tian Wuji's eyes and asked word by word: "Do you really care about the lives of the people in this city, and insist on taking them away?" Adults look around, but the people are looking at this? ”

Tian Wujian glanced around, just because of his dispute with Lin Fan, many people had already gathered to the county government. Although the people did not dare to go too far, they kept looking here.

Most of these people were refugees who had taken refuge in the cities from the countryside, and they were dressed in rags and skinny.

Their eyes were blank, and their eyes were vacant; There were also some people who talked about what was happening at the county gate.

And the eyes they looked at Tian Wuji, who was about to escape, undoubtedly revealed hope, obviously hoping that he could stay, hoping that there would be an official hat to preside over the overall situation.

There are also some people who show shame and resentment towards him in their eyes, and they disdain his greed for life and fear of death.

Tian Wujian actually didn't blame them, maybe after tonight, most of them would die here, under the butcher's knife of the thieves, there was no need to be angry with the dead.

Tian Wujian sighed, he couldn't change anything, if he didn't leave, even he would die here.

He didn't want to delay any longer, or he couldn't leave until the thieves came, so he motioned to the groom to catch the carriage, and he turned around to get into the carriage.

Lin Fan understood that he couldn't persuade Tian Wufeng to do so. If Tian Wuqian has no official position, he will not stop him, and he can let him escape from the city.

But now the situation is so dangerous that the lives of the people in the city are about to be overturned.

As the chief official of a county, Tian Wuqian did not think about appeasing the people and strengthening the city defense; On the contrary, he was greedy for life and afraid of death, thinking of abandoning the city and fleeing for his life, and even taking away the already pitiful weak city defense force for his own selfishness, which Lin Fan couldn't bear.

At this time, he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, and yelled: "Dog thief, you deserve to die!" ”
