Chapter 167: The People Are Helpless (2)

Locked these generals and officers in the prison cells of the county government, and escorted them back when they stared back to the imperial city, Mu Shengbai led people to settle the people, helped them build the destroyed buildings, and even took people into the county government to take out the greedy disaster money and distribute it to the people.

Su Ming moved the grain from the silver tael and a warehouse to the front of the county magistrate's mansion, and asked the people to line up to receive it, and Mu Shengbai also followed to maintain order, and every person who received the silver tael and a few bags of grain deliberately bypassed the line and bowed to Mu Shengbai.

"Thank you so much, Master Mu, you are really our living bodhisattva."

"Either or not." Mu Shengbai felt flattered at first and wanted to run away, but Su Ming pulled him back, saying that he deserved to be like this from the people, so there was no need to feel embarrassed, Mu Shengbai couldn't help it, so he had to stay.

After distributing the disaster silver and food, it was night, Mu Shengbai was sweating profusely, not tired, but embarrassed, he even heard several people say that they were going to build a temple for him, if he didn't resolutely refuse, with their current passion, the temple would have to be built.

After solving the matter here, Mu Shengbai thought about the rebels, and asked the soldiers to rest here, but it could not affect the lives of the people, and he started to act early the next morning.

Mu Shengbai was not idle at night, and took Su Ming with him and prepared to go to the place where the rebels were stationed to check the situation, knowing that the other side could survive a hundred battles, but now they have no information about the rebels, and they are afraid that they will suffer heavy casualties if they attack rashly.

Taking advantage of the night, he sneaked into the Jianfeng Mountain behind Mingzhou City, the reason why it is called Jianfeng Mountain is precisely because it is high and convex in the middle, reaching into the sky, and the terrain is extremely steep, and those rebels are stationed halfway up the Jianfeng Mountain.

Holding the map drawn by the local people, Mu Shengbai and the others touched the former village of bandits, and now after the rebels and bandits hooked up, this place has become a common residence for the two.

I just didn't expect this village to be so splendid, magnificent, there is a lookout tower built inside, four rebels in armor are observing the four directions respectively, there are people in it, there is also the sound of sheng flute and bamboo music, and the aroma of wine even spreads out, even Mu Shengbai and others who are only looking at this place from a distance can smell it.

"Ri Laozi, how did those traitors eat so well, and this village doesn't look like a thief's den at all." Su Ming's eyes were hot, the smell of wine that diffused almost killed him, he really wanted to rush in and loot it, anyway, those were bandit rebels, and he didn't have the slightest sense of conscience.

Mu Shengbai was also very puzzled, the people were poor like this, if those thieves only robbed the people, it was impossible for them to have such a leisure life, what was the reason for this.

They stepped on the fence a little more and knew the terrain before quietly descending the mountain.

returned to Mingzhou City, Mu Shengbai went directly to the county government and asked people to escort the generals out.

He condescendingly looked at the fat-headed, big-eared generals who were chained by the bracelets, only to realize that the general who had searched for them outside the city was nowhere to be found.

Mu Shengbai said: "You are not only so few, right? And what about the other generals? ”

A general said: "That man was too stubborn at that time...... Won't...... refused to cooperate with the plan, and was killed by Lu County's order. ”

The other generals panicked: "Of course we don't want to see him killed, but we can't stop Lu County's secret hand." ”

Mu Shengbai looked at these ugly people with cold eyes, and only felt that they were really bad animals, and kicked over a few people, "What is the plan of Lu County's order?" Something to do with those rebels in Pinnacle Mountain? ”

They looked at each other, but they didn't say a word, Mu Shengbai kicked over again, and said coldly: "I don't want to talk nonsense with you here, I'll count three times, if no one says, I can cut you first and then play, it's a big deal to exchange a life for you." One...... 2. ......"

"My lord," the general said sharply, "I said, I said." ”

Mu Shengbai listened to the counting, leaned next to him, deliberately lowered his voice, and said, "Say it quickly, it's better not to lie to me, otherwise, heh." ”

Mu Shengbai's eyes didn't have any warmth, as if he could freeze people to death inside, the general shook and was almost speechless, "Big ...... My lord, the Nalu County Decree said that there is no need for us to go to war and destroy the peace of this Mingzhou City, and then let us go and talk to the rebels and say......"

He raised his head and glanced at Mu Shengbai with a shrunken look, and then continued: We will give silver here, and then we will not attack each other, and the rebels will agree. ”

The money that saved the lives of the people to support the rebels, what kind of brains are they, Mu Shengbai was angry and red-eyed, and beat these people, they desperately begged for mercy, Mu Shengbai just didn't hear it, and only stopped when he was tired, and let people escort these people back to the cell.

A letter was written to Emperor Jing Yuan about the situation here, and the flying pigeon sent it back.

After a night of thinking, Mu Shengbai also came up with a way to reduce casualties and wipe out those rebels, he instructed Su Mingdao: "You go and ask those generals who are the officers and soldiers they sent to the rebels, and bring them to me." ”

Soon, Su Ming brought someone to bring a few officers and soldiers over, Mu Sheng's white face was expressionless, making it difficult to see the emotion, "You are usually responsible for sending money to the rebels?" ”

The wails of several generals yesterday had already frightened them, thinking that Mu Shengbai was asking for guilt in Xingshi, so he knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "My lord, I'm just a small soldier, and I can only do what I am told by the above, please spare us." ”

"Get up!" Mu Shengbai scolded, those officers and soldiers continued to be polite as if they couldn't hear it, and Su Ming shouted angrily: "My lord told you to get up!" ”

Su Ming's voice was so loud that they were frightened, looked at each other, and then stood up tremblingly.

Mu Shengbai said: "Now I give you a chance to make meritorious contributions, are you willing to ask for it?" ”

Several people looked at each other and didn't dare to speak, but one of them hesitated and said, "Small, I wish...... Willing. ”

The others also agreed, and Mu Shengbai smiled with satisfaction and said, "Later, you will continue to send money to those rebels as usual." ”

"My lord, we don't dare, don't make fun of us." Several people were so frightened that they knelt down again.

At this time, even Su Ming was confused, "My lord, why do you want to please those rebels, we just go up and serve it." ”

"It's hard to end a pot in Jianfeng Mountain." Mu Shengbai sighed, and then leaned into Su Ming's ear and whispered: "My idea is to let these people continue to send money into the village, and then we can also pretend to be officers and soldiers who send money to blend in. ”

Su Ming's eyes lit up, and he praised: "My lord is really amazing." ”
