Chapter 50: Single-mindedness
At the beginning of the lanterns on Dongmen Street in Changcheng County, the street that had just become lively suddenly sounded a gong sounded, followed by an angry roar from far and near, and in an instant, the pedestrian vehicle was turned on his back, and the sound was shocked.
"Boom!" A yamen officer with a gong in his hand and a horse rushing first, shouting loudly: "Get out of the way, get out of the way, immediately give way to the county lord to lead the troops out of the city, whoever dares to stop the county lord from crusading against the rebel will be punished with the same crime as the rebel!" ”
"Traitor?" Some passers-by who were hiding under the eaves of the street were a little stunned after hearing the words of the errand officer, and they didn't understand where this rebel came from? Why haven't they heard anything at all?
A large group of errands suddenly rushed in, and under the orders of the leader, they divided into two rows, stopped pedestrians and vehicles on the side of the road on the left and right, and some vendors could not clean up, so they demolished their stalls and threw them to the side of the street.
"Wait for me!" The county man who led the errand officer pointed to the passers-by on both sides arrogantly, and said loudly: "Zhongjia Village colluded with the cult to kill people and plunder goods at the north ferry port of the county, and dozens of casualties have been reported, and several rich businessmen have been kidnapped, and those rich businessmen have reported to the county lord, and the county lord is angry, and the county soldiers have been assembled, and they are about to pass through this road immediately, so we can only delay everyone for some time." ”
When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized, but they were even more confused.
Where is Zhongjia Village, how can people who know not know that in that small village, there are less than 50 households, and they dare to fall into the grass?
However, some people speculate that this is possible, after all, Zhongjia Village has not lived in Changcheng County for generations, they have been here for less than 30 years, and they were once slaves of the big family of the Shi clan, and because this Shi clan was also a righteous army in the war, but there are rumors of grapevine that they are against Ning Taizu's regime everywhere, so after the world is settled, they were beheaded all of their relatives, and as for the slaves in the family, they were all released under the enlightened righteousness of Ning Taizu.
It can be seen that Zhongjia Village used to be a group of untouchables, and since they are untouchables, it is possible to do anything!
After most of the ruffians in Changcheng County were untouchables, their parents were born as slaves, and Ning Taizu's holy grace saved them from fire and water.
"Kill the untouchables of Zhongjia Village!"
"Kill them!"
"I hope the county lord can also catch all the ruffian slave dogs in the city!"
"Yes! Ask the county master! ”
"The county lord Shengming!"
Sometimes human nature is so ugly!
The people of Changcheng County were plagued by ruffians, but they did not blame or dare not blame the government for lax governance, but instead pointed the finger at the ruffian families, the left sentence was a pariah and the right sentence was a slave dog, under all kinds of discrimination, there was no possibility of resistance? So the ruffians in Changcheng County were not only not scolded by them, but more and more!
This is also why, Fan Guan fell in love with Zhongjia Village at a glance!
Again, this is also a reason why Wu Bing did not refuse.
More than 30 years ago, when the world was in turmoil, a battle occurred in Changcheng County, which caused the population to drop by half, so Ning Taizu arranged all the freed slaves nearby here after cleaning up the warriors who opposed him.
In addition, mediocre people like Wu Bing have been in power for 20 years as soon as they have been in power, and it is already a miracle that Changcheng County can hold on to this moment!
Wu Bing, who wore a pilgrimage crown and a dark green silk seven-grade official robe, rode on a tall horse, and although he was nearly fifty years old, he was full of vicissitudes, but his demeanor was full of spirit.
He didn't know how long he had been looking forward to this day, twenty years! Twenty years! It's finally time to seize a chance to make a name for yourself!
Wu Bing has been wrapped in a sense of anger in his heart recently, no way, half a month ago, an old friend who was an official in the same year as him, because the northeast boundary of Suzhou assisted Yuan Guangping to resist the chaos, and he just got some grain and grass for Yuan Guangping, he was appreciated by the virtuous king and promoted to the tax envoy of Lou Zhifu, this is the six-grade official in charge of the tax revenue of the government! And it is one of the official positions with the best chance of being promoted to the government order!
Once it becomes a government order, you can go to Beijing once every three years to make a pilgrimage, which is a great opportunity to get acquainted with Beijing officials, if you can get the appreciation of some Beijing officials, and even the appreciation of the Queen Mother and Her Majesty...... Tsk, just thinking about it, Wu Bing trembled with excitement.
"Go at full speed, and whoever is one step slower will turn back and receive fifty rods!" Wu Bing shouted, and then took the lead in rushing out of the city gate.
On the second floor of an inn on the side of the road, a red-robed young man looked down at all this, his thin lips showing a knife-like smile!
Zhongjia Village Entrance.
Dong Ce looked at the mummies lying in rows, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he rescued them, there were still seriously injured people who died one after another, five more died among the ruffians, and the villagers only had one more, but even so, it made the living villagers miserable!
"Dong Gongzi!" An old man who was over sixty years old and dressed as a woodcutter came to Dong Ce's side with a steady pace, frowning and said: "No, the medicine that can be used has been used up, but it is still a drop in the bucket, and it must be purchased as soon as possible." ”
Don't look at this old man who looks like a woodcutter, but in fact he is a skilled doctor.
It is fortunate enough to say that many doctors in Changcheng County heard that the thin man said that Zhongjia Village was drugged and poured a large piece of poison, and they were so frightened that they didn't dare to come at all.
is also fortunate to have him, otherwise Dong Ce would not have been able to save so many lives just by making up for it.
"Doctor Wang, won't anyone be dying again?" Dong Ce frowned.
"No, no, thanks to Dong Gongzi's timely treatment, those who can survive now can't die in a short time, but it's not a way to go on like this, if many seriously injured people don't apply medicine in time, I'm afraid they will become wasters!" Wang Chongen sighed.
The heart of the doctor's parents is Wang Chongen, he doesn't care who you are, as long as you are injured, he will do his best to save him.
"Wang Chongyang is not as kind as you!" Dong Ce smiled bitterly in his heart, and said on his face: "Doctor Wang must also know something about the situation in Zhongjia Village!" ”
When Wang Chongen heard this, he couldn't help but sigh: "If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, how would the old man have thought that there are such vicious people in the world!" ”
"Now that Dr. Wang knows, the next situation will be even more dangerous, once the negotiation fails, Zhongjia Village will be ruined!" When Dong Ce said this, he looked at Gu Zhushan behind him and said: "Doctor Wang can go to Yangxian County from here, this is the twenty taels of silver raised by the villagers, if no one from Zhongjia Village appears at the gate of the city tomorrow, you will be tired of being old, prepare to light paper money, incense and candles!" ”
When Wang Chongen heard this, he instantly understood what Dong Ce meant.
After thinking about it again, Wang Chongen sighed, nodded and said: "The old man understands, I can go on the road, if I can convince the county order of Yangxian County, it will be a way to live." ”
"Don't!" Dong Ce hurriedly stopped: "In case that Yangxian County Commander and Wu Bingtong wear a pair of pants, aren't you always a sheep in the mouth of a tiger!" ”
It's not that Dong Ce can't trust the government, but he can't trust the people in the government, but even if he is really a good official, how will he react after listening to Wang Chongen's words?
This matter is too bizarre, if Dong Ce is the commander of Yangxian County, the most he can do when he learns about this matter is to send a few people to see if it is false or real? In this way, time is simply out of time.
Otherwise, Dong Ce would have let Cao Luorong, the godsister of King Xian's wife, go to Wuxing Mansion.
Wang Chongen obviously understands that he doesn't have much hope in his heart at all, because even he himself can't believe it, this matter is so ridiculous, so ridiculous that you may not be able to believe it in front of you, this is also the power of the cult, the more you don't believe in it, the more they have to do it, and they have to do it beautifully, and when you find out, it's too late.
"In this way, it all depends on Dong Gongzi's strategy!" Wang Chongen took the silver, hugged his fist towards Dong Ce, and said: "I hope that Dong Gongzi can lead everyone through this catastrophe and save the common people, and the old man will take the first step!" ”
"Let's go!" Dong Ce made a salute.
After seeing Wang Chongen leave, Dong Ce turned around and saw Cao Luorong walking towards her.
Looking at Dong Ce's sweaty face, Cao Luorong's heart tightened, but she opened her mouth to complain: "You still want to go your own way?" ”
"yes!" Dong Ce nodded, smiled, and said, "So now I'm going to knock you unconscious and let people send you away!" ”
Cao Luorong was stunned after hearing this, and before she could understand her thoughts for a while, Dong Ce was already raising and falling with a knife in her hand, and a slap of the knife made Cao Luorong's whole body soft, and she snuggled in his arms as soon as her phoenix eyes closed.
Picking up Cao Luorong, Dong Ce strode towards the ferry, and under the puzzled eyes of a group of old and weak women and children, Dong Ce put Cao Luorong on a fishing boat, and looked at the sixth son who was knocked unconscious by him on this boat at noon.
"All the way east, how far can you go, if you are lucky, you probably don't need to go far!" Dong Ce said, and looked at the east of Taihu Lake, but unfortunately, it was dark and there was no spark.
"Engong rest assured, even if he doesn't meet a rescuer, the sixth son will send Cao Niangzi to Gusu Mansion safely!" Liuzi hugged his fist at Dong Ce, then grabbed the penny and held it hard, and the small fish boat suddenly broke through the water and slowly melted into the darkness.
"Engong, there is already a fire looming in the south, it seems that Wu Bingzhen is here!" Zhong Xiaoshi walked behind Dong Ce and said in a low voice.
Dong Ce turned around, glanced at Zhong Xiaoshi, and said, "It's all ready." ”
"It's all done according to Engong's orders." Zhong Xiaoshi responded.
"Hmm." Dong Ce nodded slowly, glanced at the weak and weak villagers' families near the ferry, paused for a while, and suddenly left in silence.
At first, Dong Ce thought that he could easily recruit some more disciples and strengthen himself to compete with the Snow Moth, but who would have thought that the complexity and danger were so great, but he had no intention of escaping.
For Dong Ce, now that this fate is picked up, he is not afraid of death, and he seems to have fallen asleep again, perhaps, he can see a familiar ceiling when he opens his eyes.
