The sun's rays shone through the branches to the ground, the mist in the air was tinted a faint purple, and a pair of official boots walked and stopped on the gravel path. "Alas," with a sigh, the official boots trampled the dead leaves on the gravel road to shreds.

This official boot carries a slightly chubby middle-aged man, his cheeks are round, but there is too much horizontal flesh and some sagging, and his upside-down hands appear to have a bigger belly, although it is a cold morning, but dense beads of sweat appear on his head. kept walking back and forth, but he looked worried about the country and the people.

The sound of small footsteps sounded not far behind him, and the man looked over with a slight frown. I saw a fat woman in a hurry and shouted, "What do you want to do this early in the morning?" Don't you think the old lady likes it? I didn't come for ten days and a half months, I didn't sleep at night, I didn't sleep well, I didn't sleep well because of the old lady, I had to leave before dawn, I wanted to see which little vixen you were looking for! ”

The middle-aged man's brows tightened, and he shouted at the fat woman helplessly: "Madam, what nonsense are you talking about, I have business to do, so I can't sleep well." ”

"Business? It's your own palace business, right? The fat woman smiled mockingly.

"Oh, ma'am, where do you want to go?" The middle-aged man jumped up in a hurry. "This imperial court sent a letter yesterday, and urged the soldiers, this time to make up 3,000 people, how many people are there in my small Wanxian County? They have to repair the city and draw troops, and recently many people in many places have gone to the mountains to become bandits. If I don't hand over the soldiers and can't explain to the court, if I arrest people again, I'm afraid that the officials will force the people to rebel, doesn't this make me in a dilemma? ”

"It's embarrassing for you to make up 3,000 people!" The fat woman glanced at the man again. "The imperial court conscription mercenaries are adjusted according to the proportion of the county's population, no matter what, they are all within the range of the available population, it must be the herald's own idea to ask for so many people for you, the purpose..."The fat woman shook her feet with her hands on her hips proudly.

"Hey~~Oh!" A word woke up the dreamer, and the middle-aged man slapped his head, arched his hand at the fat woman and said, "Madame is wise!" At noon, I went to see the herald. ”

"Hmph, look at your stupidity!" The fat woman glared at her with disdain and continued, "I don't know why my father fell in love with you in the first place!" It's still a county order for so many years, and the more you transfer the place, the poorer you become, just your unenlightened elm head, if it weren't for my father supporting you in the court, I'm afraid you would have drunk the northwest wind a long time ago! ”

"Yes, Madame's lesson is very good!" Although he was holding his breath in his heart, he was still very obedient on the surface.

At this moment, there was another rush of footsteps in the distance.

The lady frowned and shouted at the visitor: "Who, so unruly, what are you running in the back hall of the county government early in the morning?" ”

A panting lean man running with a note in his hand shouted as he ran: "Lord County Order, Lord County Order has something important!" ”

The county commander waved his hand at the comer, and said slowly: "Xu Mubin, don't worry, if you have something to say, Lord Ben has already solved the matter of conscription." This Xu Mubin is actually the staff of the county commander, and people call him "Xu Binye", because he often gives advice to the county order, he is already the right-hand man of the Wu county order, so he often goes in and out of the county office.

"Lord Wu, it's not about conscription, it's..." When I ran to the front and saw that my wife was also there, the next words were swallowed hard.

"Madam" Xu Binye saluted to his wife.

"Hmph, Xu Binye, you also pay attention to your appearance, aren't you afraid of being laughed at when you run out without wearing your clothes?" Madame looked dissatisfied.

"Yes, yes, yes," Xu Binye hurriedly bowed and replied.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Lord Wu regained his former majesty.

"Hmm... Well... It's..."Xu Binye's face was embarrassed.

"What is it? Why, don't you dare let me know? Madame began to roll up her sleeves.

"No... No... It's about bandits" Madame's fist made of fat flesh, although it doesn't hurt much when it hits people, but its face will fall to the ground in pain, Xu Binye still said it with a sweat on his back.

"Bandits?" At this time, the county commander and his wife were taken aback.

"It's... The stakes are high, so the adults should go to the front hall with the villains. Xu Binye gave another salute.

"Well, okay" Wu Xian Ling said to his wife: "It's cold this morning, so Madam should go back to the house and rest first." ”

"Hmph, if you dare to hide anything from me, I'll let you two walk around without eating!" Madame hummed crookedly and walked slowly towards the back hall.

"What's going on? The matter of conscription on the front foot is not over yet, why do you want to suppress bandits again? Before he sat down in the front hall, Wu Xianling asked anxiously.

"My lord, it's not the imperial court that asks for conscription" Xu Binye lowered his voice and said: "It's Ninglutang"

"Condensation?" Wu Xian Ling breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked puzzledly: "This Ninglu Hall is not doing his business, what do you care about me to suppress bandits?" ”

Xu Binye presented the note in his hand and said: "Last night, I received a message from the flying pigeon of Ninglu Hall, saying that they were robbed in Luocaoling, and the banner master of this Ninglu Hall was about to kill them when he was angry. ”

"Tsk, this Condensation Hall is really ruthless, whoever provokes him will kill whom." After thinking about it again, he said: "If he wants to suppress him, why do you want to kill me?" ”

"Your Excellency!" Xu Binye couldn't help but laugh and said: "This falling grass ridge is on your territory, and it is not right for him to suppress it even if he wants to suppress it, so he pulled out this thorn with your hand."

"Oh!" Wu Xianling looked suddenly enlightened.

Then he thought about it and said: "This court has not solved the matter of conscription and comes to suppress bandits, how can I deal with these two times?" He shook his head with a headache.

"My lord, this is a good thing!" Xu Binye patiently explained: "Ninglutang wants to suppress bandits, he has a request for you, you can open the conditions." Besides, this time the Condensation Hall is mainly to vent their anger, as long as they take the end of the Falling Grass Ridge, the property in it is yours, and the grass robbers who are caught will be tied up as military mercenaries, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? ”

Hearing this, Wu County's eyes lit up, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, tell them to come quickly, I will help them suppress the bandits!" ”

"The people from the Condensation Hall will be here this afternoon. My lord, we'll have to discuss how to settle this account with them..."

"Yes, yes, it's still thoughtful, hahaha" Wu Xian Ling swept away the morning haze and laughed happily.
