Chapter 33: Oolong
The county government in the early morning looks particularly solemn, there is no noisy voice, only the breeze blows a century-old green pine in the county government and makes a slight sound, as if sighing the difficulty of the world. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć The mighty stone lions erected on both sides in front of the Yamen of Info County are silently watching the world.
County Lieutenant Su has had a very difficult time recently, and he will come to the county office early these days. One of the most important responsibilities of County Lieutenant Su as the chief magistrate of Yanshen County is to maintain local stability, but the news that has come in the past few days has been worse than the other.
First of all, the caravan in Yanshen County was looted by bandits, because the appearance of the United Trading House greatly increased the strength of the merchants, and the safety factor was greatly guaranteed, which also greatly affected the robbers' robbery ability.
It's a pity that the road is one foot high and the demon is one foot high, and the bandits actually united under the call of Cheng Laoqi, the leader of Xiaofeng Mountain. The bandits' first joint action wiped out a team of more than 100 merchants in Yanshen County, and the bandits' demonstration showed that they still had strong robbery capabilities.
The Yan Shen Chamber of Commerce, which had been excited for two months, finally suffered an unprecedented major blow, and was able to rob a combined caravan of more than a hundred people. Such a gang of bandits is no longer something that ordinary businessmen can deal with. Seeing that the trade route was about to be cut off, the responsibility of the government to appease the local government began to kick in.
The defense force of Yanshen County is actually very weak, and only one of the military forces is stationed in Yanshen County. If you add that the third squad is recruiting some civilian servants, the armed force of more than 200 people is the largest existing strength in Yanshen County. Trying to rely on this force to eliminate the bandits who occupy the advantageous territory is simply a fool's dream.
The follow-up news all proved that the bandits were uniting in an organized manner, and this was no longer something that the armed forces of Yanshen County could solve on their own. It became imperative to report to the Qingzhou government to send troops to encircle and suppress it.
When the county lieutenant Su was anxious to prepare for the report, he saw a government official break into the office of the county lieutenant Su without notification.
The county lieutenant Su who had a headache was about to get angry and reprimand this ignorant officer, when he heard a panicked report from the officer who broke in: "Report to the county lieutenant that a team of more than 100 bandits has appeared in the city and is looting along the street. ā
County Lieutenant Su only felt a buzz in his head and exploded, and he almost fainted. There are more than 100 bandits in the county, which means that Yanshen County is about to fall.
"Immediately notify Deputy Lieutenant Chen to lead troops to encircle and suppress." After the county lieutenant Su finished speaking anxiously, he seemed to feel that something was wrong and immediately added: "Inform Zheng Zhutou to immediately gather the officials to arrest and quickly support, as long as they can move, they must participate in the battle." ā
"Yes." The official clasped his fists and saluted, and immediately ran out to inform him.
With the help of the little guy who came into the house to serve him, the county lieutenant Su hurriedly stopped the armor robe that he usually wore once.
"Don't be busy, I'll sort out the rest myself, and go and bring the horses." The county lieutenant Su instructed the little guy who was still helping to sort out the armor robe.
The little guy obviously felt the impatience of the county lieutenant Su, and in order not to find trouble, he answered the call and ran out.
The atmosphere in the county government has been very tense these days, so Zheng Zhutou has been living in the county government office on duty for the past few days, and when he received the notice to gather the fast officials, he went to the hall to wait. Seeing that Lieutenant Su rushed out of the public house in a hurry, still wearing a rare armor robe, he knew that something unusual must have happened.
"County Captain, what's going on?" Zheng Zhutou obviously felt that the county lieutenant Su, who had always been calm and relaxed, began to become anxious.
"Immediately bring all the men and equip the weapons, and there are now more than 100 bandits in the county."
As soon as the county lieutenant Su finished speaking, he was taken aback by the arrest of the officials waiting in a room, and the county seat actually entered the bandits.
"Send someone to inform Zhao Xiancheng, and we will immediately meet with Deputy Lieutenant Chen to suppress the bandits." Lieutenant Su commanded without question.
The main road of Yanshen County.
When the county lieutenant Su and his heavily armed soldiers, with the coordination of Zheng Zhutou, quickly rushed to the robbers' sack site, the first thing that came was not the screams of the people, the sound of fighting and the angry scolding of the looting, but the loud singing.
Angry hair rushed to the crown, leaning on the railing, Xiaoxiao rain rest.
Raise your eyes, look up to the sky and roar, strong and fierce.
Thirty fame, dust and earth, eight thousand miles of clouds and moons.
Don't wait, the young man's head is white, empty and sad!
Five shames, still snow; When will the courtiers perish?
Drive a long car and step through the lack of Helan Mountain.
Zhuang is hungry for Hulu meat, laughing and thirsty for Xiongnu blood.
Stay from the beginning, clean up the old mountains and rivers, and face the sky!
Su County Lieutenant and Zheng Zhutou and the others were dumbfounded when they heard the impassioned singing, when did the bandits become so cultured and idealistic.
"Don't be fooled, line up, and get ready for battle." Deputy Lieutenant Chen shouted loudly as he looked at the soldiers in a daze.
Only then did the soldiers come to their senses.
From a distance, Lieutenant Su saw a group of people in black clothes and black pants on the other side of the long street, singing songs and lining up in a neat queue, taking powerful steps, running towards this side. Knock, knock, knock, the sound of neat footsteps gave Su County Lieutenant and others great psychological pressure, this is actually a group of well-trained bandits.
"County lieutenant, how can I look at the leader of the Wenwen Saburo?" Zheng Zhutou looked at the team in the distance and asked suspiciously.
"What? When did Wen join the bandits? Lieutenant Su was surprised.
"County lieutenant, I don't mean Wen Saburo has joined the bandits, you see that the first one in the first row is my nephew Zheng He, these people should be students of Wenhua Academy." Zheng Zhutou twitched the corners of his mouth and said.
County Lieutenant Su's face instantly began to become colorful, looking at the team that was getting closer and closer, County Lieutenant Su also saw that something was wrong, and it was not who Wen was who was the first person on the other side.
"Call me for the smell." County Lieutenant Su said word by word with a gloomy face.
Zheng Zhutou immediately volunteered to answer and went forward, there is his nephew here, if he is killed in the first round of archery, how can he go to see his family.
Wen Ye saw a large group of people on this side of the street from a distance, who seemed to be officers and soldiers, and felt that something was not right. Turning to the students, he shouted loudly: "All have an order, make a decision." ā
The group of students immediately stood still, then stood still.
Zheng Zhu quickly began to raise his hand to greet him: "San Lang, come here, the county lieutenant has something to ask you." ā
Hearing that it was Zheng Zhutou, he walked over.
"Zheng Zhutou, are you doing morning exercises this morning?" Hearing this, he said, looking at the heavily armed soldiers over there.
The corners of Zheng Zhutou's mouth are almost twitching to the root of his ears, is there such a fully armed morning exercise?
"You bastard, what kind of tricks are you playing?"
Wen looked at the students who were standing still and said worriedly: "This group of students is stupid, let them run, radiate and be spiritual." ā
Zheng Zhutou was speechless for a while, and after a while, he said seriously: "I hope that when you go to the county lieutenant, you must not say that you are running." ā
ā.......ā
"Really, brother, this is helping you." Zheng Zhutou added.
"Brother mean to let me tell a lie to deceive County Lieutenant Su?" Wen wondered.
Zheng Zhutou's heart and liver trembled with anger.
"Well, if you want to die yourself, I can't stop you." Zheng Zhutou shook his head helplessly.
