Knock knock knock......

"Daddy! Come and open the door! I'm back! Open the door! ”

Knock knock!

Listening to a loud knock on the door, as well as the neighing of more than a dozen horses outside the door, the dog's breathing was a little short, and he quickly turned his head to look at the old owner Li who was surrounded by everyone in the center, only to see his calm face, well, it should be said that there is still a little "joy"?

"Uncle, we're just passing by, and we really don't have much money on us, can you talk to your son and let us go?" Rest assured, we will swear not to say it! If anyone says it, they will curse him for failing the current examination! ”

The old owner of Li Zhuang glanced at the dog who was talking to him with a smile, snorted, and said coldly: "He is a bandit, Hugh said that you outsiders, even his own father, he can rob it." ”

Dogs: ......

What kind of dog is this son, even his own father robbed him, he is really the master of thunder and thunder, and he is angry!

Just when the dog was secretly complaining, the huge lang who stuck in the door ran over, glanced at the old owner Li who was held hostage by everyone, and said in a low voice: "Dog, this door can't be blocked for long, instead of being blocked by him and not moving, it is better to get out earlier, right?" ”

"Get out?" The dog sighed stupidly: "Let's not talk about whether we can ride a fast horse, even if we can't do it with one horse, they will catch up sooner or later when we are discharged from the hospital!" ”

"Then set the yard on fire! Let the official messenger come to the rescue"

Zhao Xiaoqi, who had been in the Zhizhou Record Hall, had experienced the battle of catching thieves and bandits, so at this moment, compared to other panicked moves, others were still a little calm.

"Burn the yard?" The dog shook his head and sighed: "I burned the yard, and waited for the official to come to the rescue, I don't know how long it will take, and the thieves outside the door will inevitably be angry, and take advantage of the time when the officers and soldiers come, and kill us all and run away!" So to burn the house, we can only notify the official to collect the corpse for us! ”

"And what do you say?"

"That's right! The house suddenly can't burn again, so how do we get out? ”

Listening to the messy questions around him, the dog's head was big, and he shouted to stop, and said, "It's a big deal to give him money!" There are so many of us, if he wants to harm our lives, the government will definitely want him, so he will definitely not dare to harm them! ”

Bandits rob the road, generally just to "buy road money", unless they encounter a situation that needs to be sealed, they will chop off people's good heads and kick them as balls.

"But Brother Zhao, if we run out of money, we won't be able to go to Lin'an!"

"Yes! If you don't have money, you can't go, and you won't be able to take the imperial examination! ”

There was a bit of chatter, the dog is so angry, when has this happened, and you are still reluctant to pay, do you want money or die?

Thinking so in his heart, the dog can't say it, after all, everyone is a fellow villager, and after saying it, the face is not appropriate.

"Alright, everyone! I'll talk to the bandit and see if I can leave some money for us. ”

"In this way, it will trouble Brother Zhao!"

After receiving this flattery, the dog was pushed out of the crowd by everyone, and there was no way, so he followed the big man to the gate.

"Knock knock! Father! Why don't you open the door yet! Hurry up and open the door! Knock knock knock ......"

Listening to the angry sound outside, the dog coughed lightly, and raised his courage to say to the thieves outside the door: "Ahem, what is this big brother called?" ”

A sharp knock on the door came out.

A moment later, a cold question came in: "Who are you and why are you in my house?" Say, "What do you want to do with my father?" Tell you, my father is unharmed, and a certain family will let you walk around without food! ”

When the dog heard this threatening words, he was not afraid but a little excited.

This thief turned out to be a filial person! It's not as inhuman as the old owner Li said just now.

"Cough, this eldest brother, younger brother and more than a dozen brothers in the courtyard are the sons of the undergraduate Longzhou Liberation Capital and went to the Provincial Examination of the Ministry of Rites, and it was getting late when I walked here, and I wanted to borrow the corner of the house in Guizhuang to stay for one night, and I didn't mean to hold Ling Zun hostage."

After reporting his own heels, the dog continued: "And big brother, we are all poor people, and we have to go to Lin'an to take the exam, so there is not a few money left on my body, I hope that all the good men will raise their noble hands and let me wait for a way out!" Of course, we will leave as soon as the door opens, but tonight's food and lodging money will be offered, as for tonight's affairs, we raise our hands and swear, never reveal a word, but there is deception, just ask Grandpa Tian to let us not get the second course, how about it? ”

With such a respectful attitude and full of sincerity, the dog thinks that the robber on the other side should agree! So he turned his ear sideways and went through the crack in the door to hear the bandits outside.

I didn't think about it, the wooden door rumbled, and then I heard people outside the door shouting in a mess: "Nonsense, ghost ball, tell you thieves, let my father out quickly, carefully we broke in, and arrested you to go to the yamen to eat the board!" ”

When the dog who was lifted up by the big man heard him shout this, his heart was full of doubts.

When did the thieves arrest people and go to the yamen to be tortured?

Wrong! The dog snapped and slapped his brain, broke free of the palm of the huge lang and ran to the door and said, "Dare to ask the big brother outside the door, but the yamen is tolerant?" ”

"Nonsense! Grandpa is the leader of Imjin Town, the Township Soldier Society! Who are you, these lifters? Why did you not know the etiquette and kidnap my father and close the door? ”

In the first year of Jianyan, the official family specially issued an edict to form community troops throughout the country to block the attacks of Jin soldiers and the security of thieves and bandits in the township, just like the militia formed by dogs in Youchuan County.

Since the other party was a member of the yamen, the dog also breathed a sigh of relief, and leaned into the crack of the door to look outside, and saw that under a dozen torches, there were some men wearing leather armor and holding steel knives, or carrying longbows.

Although these people are also cross-faced, they are all wearing military uniforms and felt hats, and it doesn't feel like the unruly appearance of the bandits.

The dog secretly exhaled, blaming himself for his preconceived ideas.

"Big brother, it was Lingtang who said that you were a bandit, and told me to wait, you even robbed him, and at this time, you people shouted and neighed, so we had a misunderstanding."

As he spoke, the dog continued to look at the big man on the horse through the crack in the door, only to see him look around awkwardly, then jumped off the horse, and was walking step by step, stopped at the door and said: "Cough, you don't have to listen to his nonsense, come, this is my tooth card, I throw it in and you take a closer look!" ”

With a bang, a two-finger-sized bamboo card fell into the courtyard, and Yang Xiaoxiu next to him hurriedly ran over to pick it up and handed it to the dog.

The dog took a look at it, and handed it to the big man next to him, who looked at it carefully, nodded and said, "This way it doesn't look like a fake." ”

"So, open it, right?"

Panglang nodded, silently pulled the door down, and then squeaked, opened a crack in the door, and saw that there was no movement on the other side, and Da Lang, who was on guard, completely opened the door.

"Oops, hey, Team Li, it's the little brother who misunderstood! Please forgive me! The arched dog bent down at the leather-armored man who came by.

The leather-armored man also arched his hand roughly, and then looked at his father who was surrounded by everyone, and saw that he was fine, so he breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and waved to his subordinates behind, and then said to the dog on the side: "This matter is a misunderstanding, it's okay!" Let's go inside and talk. ”

Then he strode into the courtyard, and the soldiers behind him also walked in one by one.

The dog thought, it's all at this time, if these people are really thieves, they can't go back, so they just open up and talk.

He hurried to catch up with the big man in leather armor, and introduced himself as he walked, especially focusing on the move from the "lock hall test".

This leather-armored man didn't take the dog's actions seriously, but with the dog's meaningful introduction, his attitude became respectful, and when the dog introduced the big man, that is, several dumb men were all soldiers of the Western Army, his expression completely changed.

"Distinguished guests come to the door, and you should set up a banquet to entertain you!"

A meal of wine and meat completely made the two sides relax their guards, and the misunderstanding in the evening was completely resolved.

This leather-armored man, whose real name is Li Zhong, was the head of the county government, and later when the imperial court allowed the people to form a patrol society to protect the security of the village, he resigned from the errand of the yamen and formed this group of fifty people, but his father, the old owner of Li did not agree!

Although the militia group recruited by Li Zhong did not need to give food and silver to the workers, but the equipment, clothing, and armor, as well as the wear and tear of drills every five days, had to spend money to repair it, and the subsidy in the yamen alone was not enough, so Li Zhong insisted on taking the family's money and spending it, almost taking a lot of money from his father every month.

His angry father always scolded him for being a bandit, falsely accusing them of being a thief who blocked the road and robbed, and even went to the yamen to complain, but it had no effect.

Li Zhong and the people in the militia group, including the surrounding villagers, also knew about it, but only the outsiders like Gou'er didn't know about it.

The wine was drunk happily, and the dog and a group of people also slept peacefully, and at dawn, the dog and the old owner Li settled the expenses of last night, and then said goodbye and left.

Before leaving, he saw Li Zhong holding his father's thigh and asking for silver, and the dog was powerless about this matter, so he had to sigh and whip away.

The team walked around, along the way to see the ghosts on both sides of the official road, the interest came, some of them made two lines of poetry, won the applause of others, and the admiration of the eyes, it can really be said, full of interest!

After leaving Longqing Mansion, he entered Langzhou and compared it with his neighbor Pengzhou to the east.

The reputation of "Langyuan Wonderland" and "Bashu to Chong", as well as the famous sentence of "Langzhou is rare in the south of the city" left by the great poet of the previous dynasty, Pengzhou has been defeated by more than half.

Compared with the size, Langzhou has Langzhong, Nannan, Cangxi, and nine counties under its jurisdiction, while Pengzhou only has six counties such as Long, Dayin, and Fuyu, not to mention the water veins that extend in all directions in Langzhou.

There is no way, this is the prosperous status of Langzhou created by geographical advantages.

From the ancestral point of view, Langzhou began to develop in the Neolithic period, and in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Langzhou has become a key military town in Bashu.

Especially in the Yuan Dynasty, Langzhong has always been the center of politics, economy, culture, education and commerce in northern Sichuan.

The "Feng Shui Ancient City", which became famous for tourism in later generations, is one of the four best-preserved ancient cities in China.

In Pengzhou, only "Pengshan" can make a move.

Therefore, the advantage of the ground is really important, and it will inexplicably bless you with "luck".
