Chapter 35: Chishiro Appears

Hearing that the county order was calling, Luo Feng didn't dare to slack off, and asked the strong men guarding the door to take Xiaoliu and the five of them to settle first, and then rushed to the county government by himself.

"Little Five, you're finally here."

As soon as he entered the backyard of the yamen, Zhang Yichen, the county commander, waved and shouted to him.

Luo Feng looked at it, he hadn't seen him for a few days, and Zhang Xianling, who was already very elegant, had a slightly haggard face, and his hair was casually pulled up and he didn't even wear a crown.

"Luo Wu visited Zhang Yuanjun, I don't know what happened?"

"Another thief!" Zhang Xianling sighed.

Next to Zhang Yichen, there was also a middle-aged scribe with a Confucian robe, but he was Zhang Yichen's personal staff, and he briefly explained the problem to Luo Feng.

It turned out that after the blue-faced eighteen ghosts were captured and killed, the security of Zhangqiu improved a lot, and Zhang County's order was also praised by Zhang Xutuo, the county prince, and even the people's business travelers were also praised.

Zhang Xutuo went to the county seat a few days ago to take office, and soon sent someone to send an official document, but he asked Zhangqiu County to transport a batch of grain and grass to the county seat.

After receiving the task, Zhang Xianling immediately transferred 300 stone of grain, and recruited 50 people to be responsible for driving and transporting it, but who knew that 300 stone of grain and 50 people lost the news not long after leaving Zhangqiu County.

After the county Cheng arrived, he announced that he would recruit the township leaders in the county, train them after the autumn, and then collect thieves and bandits to pacify the law. The county asked the counties to send grain and send Ding, but as a result, the 300 stone grain and 50 strong men in our county disappeared as soon as they left the county seat, don't you say this is a big trouble? ”

"Dare to ask, do you have a clue? Three hundred stone of grain had to be thirty or forty carts, carts and horses and mules, and fifty strong men, and it was impossible for them to disappear for no reason, and there would be no trace. Luo Feng said.

It stands to reason that such a big thing has happened, and the county magistrate should first notify the county official Zhang Xutuo, and then he should also summon the county officials to arrest and wait for him, and he should not wait for him, who has not officially gone to work.

Zhang Yichen took out a letter from the desk and handed it to Luo Feng.

"This is a letter that someone threw to the county government yesterday, you can take a look."

The writing is very sloppy, as if it was deliberately written with the left hand, but the content does not affect the reading, and someone in the letter claimed to be responsible for this incident, saying that now the people and grain in Zhangqiu County are in his hands, and he has robbed this batch of grain and people, and wants to negotiate a deal with Zhangqiu County.

He demanded a hundred taels of gold.

Settle down to know Shiro.

Seeing the three words of Zhishilang, Luo Feng's eyes jumped.

Although Zhang Xianling had already inquired everywhere after receiving this letter, he had not yet found out who this Zhishilang was, but Luo Feng knew.

Guy because of the people who have read the history of the Sui and Tang dynasties, especially those who are familiar with the history of the late Sui Dynasty, there is no one who has not heard of Zhishilang.

Zhi Shilang is a personal name, this person is regarded as the earliest one of the anti-kings of the Zhulu uprising at the end of the Sui Dynasty, although he may not be called the real first anti-king, but the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty can start from his rebellion.

Zhishilang Wang Bo, who is a native of Zhangqiu, made a song of death in Changbai Mountain in the seventh year of the Great Cause, and pulled the flag to gather people to rebel.

At that time, the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo began, the imperial court recruited soldiers, and recruited a large number of people to serve and transport grain, resulting in the people's misery, the people boiling, Wang Bo's song of death without a wave in Liaodong, can be said to be a stone stirring up a thousand waves, Mars burned the plain.

It is now the fifth year of the great cause, and there is only more than a year before this Zhishilang really rebels, and Luo Feng believes that history is not accidental but inevitable.

The history of Wang Bo finally rebelled, which shows that this person actually has a rebellious character in his bones, although it has not yet reached the great cause for seven years, but the people's lives are indeed getting worse and worse, and many people have overserved their military time and cannot return home for a long time.

"Does Chishiro only need a ransom?"

"Well, he only wants a ransom, and only gold, a hundred taels of gold. His condition was that we should redeem the fifty men with a hundred taels of gold, and as for the stolen grain, carts, horses, etc., they must have been swallowed up by him long ago. ”

But Zhang Yichen searched for two days, but he didn't find any news about Shilang, he didn't even know who the enemy was, and even if there was a ransom, he didn't know who to give it to.

Originally, it was hard to have a good impression on the new Juncheng, and he was expecting to be promoted early, but now, he messed up the first task of Juncheng.

In particular, the loss of some food is small, but it is a big deal to miss the training camp of the county.

"I suspect that this Chishiro has something to do with the blue-faced ghost!" Zhang County ordered.

"What is the envoy's send?"

"Xiao Wu, this matter is very tricky, the last time you and Qin Qiong captured the blue-faced ghost, Jun Cheng was deeply impressed, and I appreciated it very much. This time, our county messed up the errand of the county, and it is not easy to deal with it. ”

Zhang Xianling sighed, and finally said the purpose, he hoped that Luo Feng could represent the county, go to the county seat on his behalf, and explain the situation to Zhang Xutuo in person.

"You are going to the county town, and there is another task, to invite Qin Qiong back, he is strong in martial arts, I want to temporarily borrow him to come to the county to help investigate this case. You and Qin Qiong are cousins, don't worry about you going out of this county. ”

Luo Feng lowered his head and looked at the letter again, and finally his eyes fell on the three words of Zhishilang. He was thoughtful, although he had already determined in his heart that this Zhishilang was estimated to be Wang Bo, but Luo Feng did not recklessly say all this.

Guy is saying it now, and there is no evidence.

"Originally, you just came to Yamen, and many people are not familiar with things, but now the matter is urgent, so I have to send you out. I'll send you some helpers in a moment, and let them go with you to the county. ”

"Envoy, when I came back today, there was something I wanted to ask the envoy for something, but I brought a few people with me when I came, and I wanted them to be my helper and do things with me."

Zhang Yichen was not in the mood to take care of a few helpers at this time, "Since you brought it, it must be someone you trust, okay, these people will all be helpers by your side, and everything will be according to the old rules of the yamen." ”

"Thank you, this is going to the county town, without further ado, I thought it would be enough to have these people go with me, and if you find other people to accompany you, you will also be familiar with it."

"Okay, Brother Liu, you give Luo five branches and ten taels of silver, and you have to spend some money when you get to the county town, and the silver is also easy to carry, don't be stingy when you need money outside, and report back when you use it." Zhang Yichen generously approved Luo Feng's funds of ten taels of silver, and after asking Luo Feng if he had five helpers, he also specially asked his staff to prepare five horses for Luo Feng's five helpers.

"I hope you can draw some more weapons just in case." Luo Feng made another request, and Zhang Yichen agreed after thinking about it, and gave Luo Feng a horizontal knife for each of them.

"After receiving the horses, knives, money and food, I set off immediately, hit the road early, and rushed to the county seat as soon as possible to do business."

"Luo Wu takes orders!"
