When the words fell, Jiao Mo and the others had already surrendered their hands: "Old lady, let's go back and count the money in the granary..."

Outside the gate of Dongxian County, behind Lin Xiu'an sitting at a low table, Ma Ru'an, Feng Qi and other county government officials were impatient, seeing that the sun was in the middle, but there was no squire's fame yet, Ma Ru'an paced back and forth a few steps, and said: "General Lin, is your joint order okay?" It's not that it offends the reputation of the entire Xiangxi, and it will be difficult for the official to do it..."

"Don't worry, adults!" Lin Xiu said softly: "The squire's people, there are no people who do not seek fame and fortune, and the general has already vaguely told them that whether they go or not, it depends on them!" ”

The words fell, in the direction of the county road, a team that could not see the tail came slowly, and looked, Ma Ruan hurriedly got up to meet him, and looked carefully, Pei Boyo, the largest household in Xiangxi, was impressively listed. When the team arrived, Pei Boyao and the others came directly to the queue of armor: "Dare to ask where General Lin is?" ”

"Ben will be!" Lin Xiu got up: "I don't know the old man? ”

"The old Pei Boyo, the squire of Xiangxi County, heard that the general worked tirelessly, came to Xiangxi to gather refugees, to ensure the stability of the four fields, and to show the respect of the small people, he specially offered 10,000 stones of grain!"

Ma Ru'an, who was shocked by this remark, gasped, but on the other hand, Lin Xiu was so calm and calm, there was no change at all, Lin Xiu saluted respectfully, thanked him lightly, Pei Boyu didn't say much, turned around and introduced Jiao Mo and others, and when they got through, they raised 25,000 stones of grain and grass, which alone made Ma Ru'an marvel at the financial resources of the squire's fame.

When the grain convoy was delivered to Huang Qi and others, Lin Xiu immediately ordered to continue to gather refugees, and after Tang Chuanwen's resettlement and distribution, 120,000 refugees in Xiangxi County were properly resettled in just three days, this ability made Pei Boyao more optimistic about Lin Xiu's talent, but Lin Xiu's means were not only so, in the middle of the night on the second day when the refugees in Xiangxi were more than halfway together, there was an unexpected incident of bandits robbing refugees in Xiangxi County.

At three o'clock in the time of the master, the county Beimin Lane suddenly burst into flames, the night patrol of the Yacha, the catch hurry to investigate the situation, found dozens of masked thieves everywhere to cause fire, the Ya Cha Catch quickly immediately went to arrest, but these thieves acted quickly, the Ya Cha Catch quickly could not take it at all, plus the fire intensified, had to go down, the Ya Cha Catch Fast could only put out the fire first, after several hours of extinguishing and treatment, the fire was finally extinguished, and Ma Ru'an, who rushed to hear the news, looked at the dilapidated houses, and the already anxious head swelled three points again, when Lin Xiu led the troops to arrive, Ma Ruan gritted his teeth and said: "General, please immediately block the four-way road, be sure to take down these thieves, and give the people justice!" ”

"Don't worry, my lord, this thief will not tolerate it!"

Under Ma Ru'an's request, Lin Xiu immediately sent Liu Pan and Fang Hua to form several teams to assist Ma Ru'an's servants in arresting the thief.

"My lord, this... This..."Feng Qi looked at the evidence of the crime, and didn't know what to do for a while, and the squires who were implicated by it resisted and sought justice, among which the Wu family was the most intense, in the search, Feng Qi took people to the Wu family's mansion, but was forcibly driven away by the house slaves in the house, and really slapped Ma Ru'an.

"These people... It's just arrogant! ”

Even if Feng Qi was afraid of the squire's power, but his face was knocked out in public, he couldn't bear this breath no matter what, Ma Ru'an knew the situation and personally led people to go, but Master Wu had already united more than a dozen gentry to resist the Xiangxi County Government.

When the confrontation between the squires and officials was unclear, Pei Boyo took Jiao Mo and others to see Lin Xiu again, and when there was no one around, Pei Boyo bowed his hand to Lin Xiu: "General Lin is kind to the people, and the old man admires!" ”

"The old lady praised it!" Lin Xiu said in a deep voice: "Old lady, if there is anything, please speak up!" ”

Pei Boyao thought for a moment and whispered: "General Lin, since you take Zhong Yi as the word, this is enough to show the high path of life, but the world is declining, and it is still not enough to act on the basis of righteousness and righteousness!" ”

Lin Xiu's eyebrows moved slightly, and he quickly thought, "What does Old Lady Pei think?" ”

"Although the old man is only a squire, he has a little understanding of the situation of the squires in Xiangxi County, and now the general needs money, food and grass, and some people are not respectful, so there is no need to stay, but if he comes forcibly, the general's reputation is not good!"

Speaking of this, Pei Boyo pulled out Pei Changfeng: "Grandson Pei Changfeng has been smart since he was a child, and he has obtained Taoist divination, this life is the life of the middle hall, so the old man has worked hard to cultivate, three years ago, Sun Er County took the Tanlang exam, entered the middle school martial arts examination, but the official road was deep, and he fell halfway, but the old man couldn't bear to let his grandson be trapped in the poor land, this time the general came here, the old man is willing to take the Pei family as a whole family, and exchange his grandson for a military road!" ”

When the words fell, Pei Boyao knelt down and kowtowed, Pei Changfeng clenched his fists respectfully, and knelt down to ask for his life: "General, I admire your courage in being a businessman and walking the road of Zhongyi, for the sake of the thin face of the family master, I beg the general to give me a chance!" ”

Lin Xiu looked at the situation in front of him, and after a while, he said, "If Ben will let you start as a pawn, are you willing?" ”

Hearing this, Pei Boyo's complexion changed slightly, but Pei Changfeng was neat: "My subordinates are willing!" ”

Looking at this, Lin Xiu had an estimate in his heart, and he looked at Jiao Mo and the others, who also had a young man standing next to them, wanting to have the same calculation as Pei Boyo.

"Old man Pei, you have a deep meaning in the words, Ben Jiang will not be mean to you, but Ben will have a word in front, if your grandson is incompetent, Ben will not keep him, and you also said that he will enter the exam, then for the time being, the general's pro-military battalion will be in the team, follow Liu Pan and others!"

"Thank you, General, thank you, General!"

A word to the bottom, a word, Pei Boyo happily kowtowed for thirty years, and then, Pei Boyo presented a record of crimes, but after half a moment, Tang Chuanfeng led the soldiers of the two teams to rush to the Wu family's mansion.

In front of the Wu family's mansion, Ma Ru'an led a hundred and ten people to surround and not retreat, but the Wu family's slaves were not afraid of hard tops, in addition, there were some other squires who came here to support the scene.

"Ma County Order, there are many refugees at the moment, thieves are doing it, it must be those people and refugees who did it, and it has nothing to do with my Wu Mansion!"

Master Wu stood on the wall of the courtyard and shouted, his posture made Feng Qi and the others angry, but there were sixty or seventy servants in the Wu family's nursing home, which was almost the same as Zhiyan and others, and for a while, Ma Ruan did not dare to order a strong attack.

At this time, two teams of Bei'an armor soldiers came, and Ma Ru'an saw that it was Lin Xiu, and Pei Boyo, Jiao Mo and others were traveling with him.

"General Lin..."Ma Ru'an didn't know what he meant, and after a pause in his words, Lin Xiu spoke: "Lord County Commander, why don't you take down these people?" ”

"The wall is high and the door is strong, and there is no chance for a while!"

Lin Xiu smiled, and behind him, Tang Chuanwen led more than a dozen Xiangxi people out of the ranks, and these people knelt down at Ma Ru'an.
