Rumble!

Rumble!

Rumble!

As the bronze drum was beaten, more and more people gathered around the county office.

Some people couldn't help but be curious and entered the county hall. The officials did not stop them, and when they saw that no one stopped them, the others gradually grew bolder, and stood outside the public hall with their arms crossed one by one.

He looked around curiously.

"Team leader!"

"What is the purpose of this time when the adults beat the drum of heaven and gather the people of the city?"

Haifeng, who was wearing a soap coat, showed a hint of suspicion in his eyes, and took the initiative to come to Shi Bantou's side and asked in a low voice.

"I don't know!"

"However, I think there must be something important to announce!"

Shi Bantou's face also showed a hint of confusion, but he still said truthfully.

"No, it won't!"

"You don't even know the head of the team?"

Haifeng's mouth opened slightly, his eyes were wide open, and he said in disbelief.

"I don't know!"

Although he didn't know why Haifeng was so curious about today's events, Shi Bantou still nodded heavily and said without any hesitation.

"Oh!"

Seeing that Shi Bantou really didn't know, Haifeng's mouth couldn't help but subconsciously pursed, and he nodded a little stupidly.

。。。

At this moment, only to hear a sound of armor rubbing outside, everyone subconsciously turned their heads, only to see a government soldier wearing light armor and holding a blade, under the leadership of the team and the commander, directly came to the outside of the county office, and stood unusually neatly.

"This?"

Whether it was the officials or the onlookers, looking at the soldiers who were waiting for the battle, their faces couldn't help but change color slightly, of course, there was more of an indescribable curiosity.

Because they really can't think of what kind of big thing happened in Zhibei County, and it needs to be suppressed by the government soldiers in person!

"This?"

"This?"

"Why are the soldiers here?"

"What the hell is going on?"

"Is this someone trying to rebel?"

Haifeng looked at the outside standing and fighting, his body was as tall as a green pine, and he couldn't tell the sassy and heroic government soldiers, and his eyes couldn't help but show a look of suspicion and worry.

"This... ”

"I don't know!"

"Everything is very normal in the city, and there are no signs of abnormality!"

The other officials were also at a loss, and their eyes showed shock.

"Is it because?"

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, one of the officials slapped his thigh hard, and his voice was a little raised.

"Because of what?"

Haifeng's eyes froze suddenly, and he hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

"I heard that Wang Shi, a wealthy merchant in the north of the city, went out of the city overnight, saying that he was going to Beijun to discuss some big deal!"

"However, even if it's a big deal, you don't have to go out of the city overnight?"

"Is there something strange about this?"

"What?"

"Wang Shi went out of the city overnight?"

"How did I not know?"

Haifeng's eyes couldn't help but be stunned, as if he said in disbelief.

"Fool!"

"That Wang Shi is a famous landowner in Zhibei County!"

"Thousands of good fields, hundreds of servants in the house, and he also has his own grain number in Beijun and other places, how can he tell you when he goes out... ”

"I think you've lost your soul today, and you're talking nonsense!"

The officials around looked at Haifeng, who was stunned, and said with some mockery.

Haifeng also seemed to realize his gaffe, and hurriedly closed his mouth and smiled wryly. However, the look of horror in his eyes became more and more intense.

"Don't think about it ... ”

"That Wang Shi is a figure with a head and a face in Zhibei County, how can he break the law and discipline... ”

"Don't speculate, wait for the adults to come out, and everything will be known. ”

Seeing that the officials were talking more and more boundless, Shi Bantou hurriedly coughed and reprimanded loudly.

"Team leader!"

"Team leader!"

"Do you know something?"

Looking at Haifeng, whose face was a little pale and his eyes showed a look of horror, Shi Bantou instinctively felt a trace of an unusual aura.

This kid is acting strangely today, and there must be something unspeakable in his heart.

Thinking of this, his eyes couldn't help but narrow slightly.

。。。

I don't know how long it took.

I saw a cyan official robe, wearing a crown and hat, and holding the bronze button seal of the county lord in his hand, and walked out of the back hall with a solemn face.

The already solemn atmosphere just now became more and more heavy because of the appearance of Si Tu's punishment.

"Your Excellency!"

"Do as you command!"

"The four battalions, with a total of 5,000 soldiers, have all been assembled!"

"Please give me orders!"

Yang Shou, who was dressed in a military uniform, had a cyan birthmark on his face, and looked a little hateful, saw that Si Tu was sentenced, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and said in a solemn voice.

"Good!"

Situ Xing subconsciously raised his head, looked at the neat and uniform government soldiers standing outside, couldn't help but bow his head slightly, and said with a satisfied expression.

"Your Excellency!"

"I don't know what it is... ”

Shi Bantou saw that although Si Tu's face was ugly, it was not that no one should enter, so he hurriedly stepped forward and asked in a low voice.

Situ Xing raised his head, looked at Shi Bantou with a strange expression for a long time, and only when he was at a loss did he say coldly:

"There are a lot of people in the county government, but they are all here?"

Shi Bantou didn't know why Situ Xing suddenly asked about this, but he still stood up straight, and after his eyes were patrolling for a long time, he said with a solemn face:

"Lord Qiyu!"

"The three classes of officials have arrived!"

"Good!"

Situ Xing bowed his head slightly, and suddenly turned his head to Yang Shou, who was half-squatting on the ground, and shouted:

"Take people!"

"Quickly arrest the people on the list, and no one will escape, but those who resist will be killed!"

Yang Shou was scolded by Situ Xing, and his face couldn't help but stiffen, but he quickly reacted, hurriedly stepped forward, and took the list of Situ Xing on the book.

Looking through it quickly, I saw that dozens of names were neatly written on it with small letters.

Many of them, he has heard of a lot.

was written at the top of the list, and it was Haifeng, the official of the government, Hu Xiucai, the account office, Wang Shi, the local tyrant of Zhibei County, etc.

"This?"

Yang Shou subconsciously raised his head, only to see that Situ Xing's face was pale, and his eyes flashed with a cold cold light.

"Catch!"

"Grab them all!"

"Don't let one go, it's such a big dog's guts, and you dare to be greedy for food and money for disaster relief!"

"I'm going to tear their chests open and see if the hearts inside are black?"

"No!"

Yang Shou saw that Situ was furious, so he naturally didn't dare to say more, and hurriedly shouted loudly to the soldiers and arrested them according to the people on the list.

Haifeng and the others, who were standing on top of the Yamen Public Hall, looked at the soldiers who pounced like wolves and tigers, their faces couldn't help but change greatly, and before they could make a posture of resistance, they were firmly controlled by four or five soldiers.

"This... ”

The people gathered around to watch the bustling people, their eyes wide open, their mouths wide open, and their faces showed a look of disbelief.

They really didn't expect it.

This time, Situ Xing transferred the army into the city, and the arrest was not a ruffian bandit, nor a wealthy squire, but a poor person in the county government...

Don't say they were stunned, some of them couldn't react.

Even Shi Bantou, who was dressed in soap, was at a loss, watching his former comrades being cut upside down by the government soldiers and kicked to the ground, he subconsciously wanted to get up.

But before he could react, Situ Xing's cold, as if he didn't have any emotion, fell on him. It also made his heart suddenly feel like falling into an ice cave.

"Why?"

"Your Excellency!"

"Why is that?"

"Is there a misunderstanding in there?"

Shi Bantou looked at Situ Xing, who had a cold face and cold eyes, and asked with a look of disbelief.

"Misunderstanding?"

Situ Xing's eyes contracted, and his face showed a look that seemed to be smiling rather than smiling, as if crying but not crying, and after a while, he said faintly:

"That's what to ask them... ”

"Officials and businessmen colluded, took advantage of the looting, and took the people's life-saving food for themselves. ”

"Even accept bribes to deceive the officials!"

"Do you think they should be arrested, should they be killed?"

Listening to Situ Xing's questioning, Shi Bantou's eyes couldn't help but froze, and he looked at the servant who was pressed in disbelief.

"You guys are ... ”

Those people didn't dare to look into Shi Bantou's eyes, they all drooped their heads, and sat there dejectedly like prisoners.

。。。

"Your Excellency!"

"Oh no!"

"I don't know if I got the news in advance, that Wang Shi actually went out of the city overnight, and now I can't find any trace of him!"

"Listen to the people, he went to North County!"

The military judge Niu Ben ran over with an anxious face with more than a dozen armors, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said with some annoyance after his naturally dry lips.

"What?"

"Wang Shi is out of the city?"

"When did he leave?"

Situ Xing's face couldn't help but stagnate, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"It's been a few hours since I left!"

"I heard from the people that Wang Shi suddenly wanted to leave the city for some reason... ”

"Because the guard guarding the city gate was familiar with him, and he didn't think about anything else, so he opened the city gate without permission and let him out!"

Niu Ben's eyes couldn't help flashing a trace of annoyance, and he said a little angrily.

"Damn!"

"Take down that garrison and investigate it!"

"Dare to bend the law for personal gain and release the suspect privately!"

Situ Xing's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, and his voice was a little cold and angry.

"No!"

"Your Excellency!"

Niu Ben knew that Situ was angry now, so he didn't refute it, and asked in a low voice:

"Is the subordinate taking someone to chase? . . . ”

"It's been hours since they've been gone ... ”

"Moreover, the road from Montenegro to North County is very complicated, and there are several roads to choose from... ”

"Even if you chase it now, I'm afraid it's in vain!"

Hearing Niu Ben's suggestion, Situ Xing's eyes couldn't help but light up, but after thinking about it for a while, Situ Xing still gave up the proposal rationally.

"Look at these people!"

"Door-to-door searches... ”

"Confiscate all their corrupt gains!"

"The Wang family... ”

When Situ Xing mentioned the Wang family, there was a trace of hesitation in his eyes, but in the end he said decisively:

"It's also a raid!"

"Seal all the granaries and treasury... ”

"This... ”

Niu Ben listened to Si Tuxing's order, his face couldn't help showing a trace of surprise, and after hesitating, he still whispered:

"Your Excellency!"

"That Wang Shi has absconded!"

"But the Wang family has been operating in Zhibei County for many years, and the tree has deep roots. The raid of the Wang family may cause some unnecessary chaos. ”

Situ Xing's eyes narrowed slightly, and his face showed a thoughtful look, and after a while, his eyes suddenly revealed a cold color.

"Wang's pit harms the victims!"

"Bribing the officials, deceiving the officials, and putting the officials and the court in injustice, the crime is extremely heinous, and it should be severely punished!"

"Whoever makes trouble will be suppressed!"

"No!"

Niu Ben wanted to persuade again, but seeing that Situ Xing's face was blue and his eyes were cold, he obviously had made up his mind, so he couldn't help but sigh faintly.

Disorderly!

There is chaos everywhere!

The four city gates in the southeast, northwest, and northwest of Zhibei County were closed, and a captain in armor stood in front of the city gates.

looked at the pedestrians coming and going from south to north with a cold face.

"I'm saying it again... ”

"No one is allowed to leave the city without a warrant from the county magistrate!"

"Your Excellency!"

"You can do it, okay... ”

"Our family is outside the city, and we have to rush home, otherwise the family will be worried. ”

"yes!"

"Your Excellency!"

"We are businessmen, and this is what we do!"

"You shut us up in the city, how do you buy and sell... ”

People dressed in different clothes and dialects surrounded the soldiers, saying nice things and trying to get the guards out of the city.

But the guard's face seemed to be frozen in ice, and no matter how much they pleaded, there was no sign of loosening.

"Fugitives are being caught in the city!"

"Everyone, is it a suite?"

The captain in armor walked closer, looked at the crowd surrounded by them, and looked anxious, he couldn't help but snort coldly, and said with some reprimand:

"It's only a day or two!"

"What can I delay?"

"Leave quickly, don't delay the government!"

"Otherwise, they will all be punished as gangsters!"

The surrounding people were reprimanded by the officers and soldiers, although they were still a little unwilling in their hearts, but they did not dare to entangle at the city gate, so they could only consider themselves unlucky and return to the inn in despair.

"Young Master!"

"Let's get out of here!"

"If you are targeted by officers and soldiers, it will be troublesome!"

In the crowd, an old man in a gray shirt with shrewd and capable eyes seemed to be dragging him, and forcibly pulled a young man into an alley where there was no one, and whispered.

"Uncle Chai!"

"What now?"

"Now the four city gates are under martial law!"

"I can't get out now... Can we just wait here to die?"

The young man with a childish face and wearing a silk shirt subconsciously glanced at the soldiers who were constantly patrolling on the road, lowered his voice, and said worriedly.

"Young Master!"

"Don't be discouraged!"

"There's always a way... ”

"Master, he won't leave us alone!"

The old man also knew the tension of the situation in front of him, but he seemed to be much calmer, and said with a determined face.

"I hope my dad arrives in North County as soon as possible, please help... ”

"Otherwise, my Wang family's century-old foundation will really be ruined!"

The young man was obviously not as optimistic as the old man, sighed faintly, and said helplessly.

At this moment, the two of them suddenly heard a sound of footsteps, as well as the friction of light armor, and the impact of weapons, obviously the team armor was trying to get closer to the place where they were. 74
