The two sides had a disagreement about the strategy of attacking the cottages, and Xia Hongying insisted on asking the government for assistance, because to clear several cottages at one time, there were simply not enough manpower for a few of them. Mai Qing disagreed, and several of them did not contact the government, nor could they trust the government.

Xue Qing and the others know Xia Hongying's energy, and there are government forces behind him, so they all support Xia Hongying, and there is trust, which is also a tacit understanding along the way. Of course, Wormwood and Tian Ye are also on Mai Qing's side.

Just when the two sides were at a stalemate, Miao Miao stood on Xia Hongying's team, and she said: "Brother Mai Qing, since Xia Gongzi and they are willing to help us, they must also hope to be able to win all the cottages in one fell swoop, there is some distance, we may indeed be short of manpower." Moreover, Xia Gongzi and the government have solved the murder case in Yuzhou City together, and they must be familiar with the government, so they will not be unsure. ”

Mai Qing thought about it and felt reasonable, but Tian Ye insisted on disagreeing.

"Brother, why did we live in the cottage at that time, and why did we flee later, it was all the inaction of the government, how can you trust the government?" The reason is high-sounding, but anyone with a discerning eye knows what it is.

Xia Hongying said: "Mai Daxia, you also tied up some people from the village to go to the government to receive rewards, it can be seen that the government doesn't want to take care of it, but it just doesn't understand it, and it can't do it." With your help this time, it's different.

You said that in addition to the black sand village in Baixiang Mountain, there are many small cottages, if we want to clear them all, it is necessary to be fast, ruthless, and accurate, and there are people from the government to join, and they will take over after we capture a cottage, so that we can go to the next place with peace of mind, and we don't need to leave people to take care of it. ”

Tian Ye said disdainfully: "Xia Gongzi, you don't want your mother-in-law and mother-in-law, what are you doing so much, wouldn't it be good to kill them all!" ”

"Field!" This time, Mai Qing didn't approve either, "Since we are idlers, we shouldn't be too angry." We did this because it was a scourge we left behind. Not to stir up trouble and kill. ”

Xia Hongying said again: "Mai Daxia, if you don't want to deal with the government, let's go." And in case the government is really unreliable, it's good for you to stay outside and take over. We also don't have to reveal all our strength, just in case. ”

Mai Qing was also convinced, and said sincerely: "Gongzi Xia is thoughtful, I will listen to Gongzi's arrangement." ”

Baixiang Mountain belongs to the jurisdiction of Baixiang County, Jiaozhou Prefecture, so Mai Qing and others stayed at the foot of Baixiang Mountain to find a place to live temporarily, and Xia Hongying and his party went straight to the county government.

When I arrived at the county government, there was another scene in Yuzhou Mansion. Bai Kui, the magistrate of the county, heard these milky little hairy children threatening to wipe out the bandits in Baixiang Mountain, and he couldn't help but feel that they were overwhelmed, after all, they were too young.

However, Bai Kui was quite polite: "Young man, it's good that you have this heart, and Bai Mou admires it very much, but I still advise you not to make fearless sacrifices." ”

"Lord Bai," Xia Hongying said, "We have a perfect strategy, but we are limited to our limited manpower, and when the time comes, we only need Lord Bai to send someone to guard the mountain, and after we take down a cottage, we will send a signal, and the county government will take over and we can go to the next village." ”

"Don't be ashamed!" Bai Kui was a little annoyed, "Do you know how long these bandits have been endangering the people, it's not that we don't want to exterminate these bandits in Baixiang Mountain, but they are too cunning." Every year, the saint asked all localities to suppress bandits, and the state capital also sent troops over year after year. It's just that the White Elephant Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is unfavorable every year.

Two years ago, there was civil strife in Heisha Village, and it was calm for a while. However, Heisha, the owner of the village, quickly took back the village, and they intensified it.

Originally, there was only one village in Baixiang Mountain, but later there were many small villages somehow. A group of people who did not want to be named handed over the stockades, and I also gave them a bounty, thinking that there was hope for the bandits that year.

Who knows, that Heisha didn't know where to find some people, and directly took over those small villages, and turned them into strongholds in Heisha Village, and they learned faster about the government's movements. ”

"Lord Bai can rest assured. I don't know if you have heard of the case in Yuzhou City, that is what we solved. Even if the adults let us try, if we fail, it is because we are beyond our means; If we are lucky enough to win, the credit goes to the adults. ”

"Why did Xia Gongzi say this? The officer just didn't want to make a fearless sacrifice. Since you also solved the case in Yuzhou City, then you can give it a try for the time being. It's just that there is a word in advance, you must take care of it, if you can really eradicate Heisha Village in one fell swoop, this official is grateful, and I should ask for credit for you. ”

Bai Kui's righteousness and rationality also made everyone feel comfortable, so the group rode out of the city, found Mai Qing, and they once again determined the detailed plan and the meeting place, and then returned to the county government to explain how Bai Kui asked the officers and soldiers to be stationed and cooperate.

A big drama is about to begin.

Several people agreed to first capture the main village of Heisha Village, and after the officers and soldiers took over, several people divided up to capture the branch of Heisha Village as quickly as possible. If you attack the branch first, unless you can do it quietly, it will be difficult to capture it again once the main village is prepared. On the contrary, if the main village is captured, even if there are fish that slip through the net, there will be no big waves, and the forces of the government can take them over.

Mai Qing proposed to let Xia Hongying and others show mercy, and there are some innocent people in the cottage, just forced to live.

Xia Hongying looked at Mai Qing: "Mai Daxia, do you want to let the previous incident repeat itself?" ”

"This ......" Mai Qing was speechless.

Xia Hongying said: "Let's catch them all first, whether it is good or evil, the government will try it, if it is indeed innocent, I believe the government will also deal with it leniently." Don't let go of the heinous people because you can't bear it for a while, it's the people who are unlucky. ”

Mai Dong thought about it again and again, but still agreed with Xia Hongying's statement.

In the evening of the second day, a carriage came from the direction of Jiaozhou Mansion, the carriage was very shabby, but it was pulled by two horses. The carriage swayed into Baixiang County and stopped in front of a very ordinary inn in an alley in Baixiang County.

The coachman jumped out of the car: "Miss, young master, let's rest here first." ”

A nice voice came from inside: "Okay, Xiao Shuo needs to rest too." Then the curtain was lifted, and down came a woman with a hood.

Then, another person got out of the car with a thin man in his arms.

"I'll go by myself." After the man got out of the car, he pushed away the person who was holding him and staggered a few steps.

"Xiao Shuo, you better let the third son hold on."

"It's okay, sister, the doctor also asked me to move moderately." The thin man turned to the man named Sanzi, "Sanzi, you and Dalong go and park the carriage first." ”

"Yes, young master."

The sister and brother walked into the inn, and after the woman asked for two clean upper rooms, Xiao Er helped the man and took him to the room.

The woman stopped Xiao Er and gave him a few copper plates: "My brother is weak and not suitable for noisy, you go and arrange a few light side dishes, for four people, okay, send them directly." ”

"Okay, don't worry, girl." Xiao Er happily left.

Soon, Dalong and Sanzi also arrived at the room to meet. Presumably everyone understands that the sister and brother are actually Xue Qing and Xiao Shuo, and Da Long is Zhu Xiaolong. Who is the bearded third son, in fact, it is the disguised Huangfu Bingyan.

This can be regarded as a repetition of the old trick, or the strategy they used to lure the snake out of the hole, but compared with the last time, there are some changes.
