Chapter Twenty-Three: Fooled

Huang Batian glared at Liu Mingtian: "Hmph, in addition to military rations and filial piety, I also want you to go out of the city with me to exterminate the bandits!" By the way, I heard that Liu Xiancheng also has two or three hundred soldiers in your family? Let's go! That's a lot of people! That band of bandits didn't run! ”

Liu Mingtian had a small calculation in his heart. The pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info three classes of officials followed them out of the city to suppress bandits. Even if he dies, he won't do anything about him, the head of the Liu family. But the soldiers of the Liu family went out of the city to suppress bandits? Even if a person dies, he has to pay for it!

Liu Mingtian said: "Mr. Qian, my family's soldiers, they are all wine bags and rice bags, even if you go out of the city, you can't help Mr. Qian!" It will only take off the hind legs of your officers and soldiers! ”

Huang Batian spat Liu Mingtian: "Fart! There are more monkeys than three points! What's more, there are more than 300 men! You just say whether to go or not! In a small county like yours, there are almost 100 servants. And I brought a hundred brethren into the city. Plus your family's soldiers, that's five hundred! How many of those bandits came down the mountain? ”

Xu Inspector interjected: "It seems that there are only one or two hundred people!" ”

Chen Di beat a side drum on the side: "Five hundred people fight one or two hundred, isn't this a sure win?" ”

Huang Batian pulled out his waist knife with a "snap" and laid it across Liu Mingtian's neck.

Chen Di was shocked. This Huang Batian should not be impulsive and kill Liu Mingtian. The Liu family is a local hero, even if the head of the family, Liu Mingtian, dies, there will be a second and third Liu Mingtian in the future. If you kill him at this time, you won't be able to save the more than 10,000 people outside the city!

Huang Batian didn't make a move, but said arrogantly: "You just said that you won't let your soldiers go!" If you don't go, you'll be a bandit, and I'll correct you on the spot! ”

Seeing that Huang Batian was acting according to the plan, Chen Di breathed a long sigh of relief.

Although Liu Mingtian has some deep or shallow relationships in the government, the province and the capital, as the saying goes, it is unreasonable to meet soldiers when they meet soldiers. What's more, the Qian in front of him has just been killed from the battlefield?

Liu Mingtian thought about it again, if he let the soldiers out of the city, his side would be 500 people against 1200 bandits, and it should be a sure win.

At this time, Chen Di beat the side drum: "This time will definitely be able to wipe out the bandits in Yandang Mountain in one fell swoop!" That's a big deal! From now on, can't Qinyang's goods be sold to the whole province through Yandang Mountain? ”

This sentence is in Liu Ming's world's arms. Liu Mingtian wished that all the bandits on Yandang Mountain were dead, and the grain he hoarded could be sold to neighboring counties through Yandang Mountain!

Liu Mingtian looked at the steel knife on his neck, and sweat broke out on his head again. That's it, that's it, just listen to the thousand.

Liu Mingtian said: "Okay! Just listen to you, adults! My soldiers, one counts as one, and all of them go out of the city to help in the war! ”

Huang Batian smiled: "This is like what a man said." ”

Liu Mingtian gathered all the household soldiers, including the domestic soldiers guarding the grain depot. His idea was that since he was going out of the city, he would take all the men and horses with him. Multiple people have a lot of effort.

More than 300 soldiers of the Liu family, 783 classes of government servants, and more than 100 "Huaiqingwei Army" went out of the city under the leadership of Huang Batian, the "thousand generals".

Liu Mingtian was afraid that the soldiers in the city would leave, and the hungry people would enter the city, so he specially sent Xu Inspector to lead more than a dozen officials to stay at the city gate. He gave a death order to Inspector Xu, optimistic about the city gate, and a hungry person entered the city, so he asked Inspector Xu to come and see him.

The "big war" is imminent, and Liu Mingtian's palms are oozing sweat. He and Chen Di were anxiously waiting in the lobby for the news of the triumphant victory of Lord Qian.

Chen Di said: "That's right, Liu Xiancheng, I have been playing with Sister Xiaohong every night these days, and I feel that my body has been hollowed out!" Don't you have medicine there? ”

Liu Mingtian was worried about the fate of his three hundred soldiers, where could he listen to Chen Di's nonsense?

Liu Mingtian reacted after a while: "What kind of medicine is not medicine!" When has this been? At the moment of the great enemy, what you say seems to be what a county lord should say! How could the imperial court send such a fart kid as you as the magistrate of Qinyang County? ”

Chen Di was scolded by Liu Mingtian, but he didn't fight back, just stuck out his tongue.

Liu Mingtian walked back and forth in the county office.

After a while, Liu Mingtian's housekeeper ran into the county office: "Master! There are a few beggars making trouble in front of our house! ”

Liu Mingtian said angrily: "What? Dare to make trouble in front of my house? What are you still looking for me for? Just let our soldiers chop them up! ”

The housekeeper said: "Master, didn't all the soldiers of our family go outside the city to suppress bandits?" ”

Liu Mingtian patted his head: "Made, I forgot about this!" ”

The housekeeper asked, "Master, what should I do?" ”

At this time, in the county seat, the only people Liu Mingtian could use were Xu Inspector, who guarded the city gate, and more than ten officials under him.

"You go to the entrance of the city and let Inspector Xu take someone to take those beggars!" Liu Mingtian ordered the housekeeper.

Chen Di smiled in his heart. Liu Mingtian, you have been tricked!

Inspector Xu had just taken more than a dozen officials to arrest people in front of Liu's Mansion, and a figure rushed to the city gate.

This person is none other than Liang Erhei.

Liang Erhei was ordered by Chen Di, changed into the uniform of the servant, and squatted at the city gate for a long time.

As soon as Inspector Xu took the people away, he went to the city gate and removed the bolt of the city gate!

The bolt of the county gate is 100 catties. Usually, it takes five people to work together to remove the deadbolt. Liang Erhei is a person who practices martial arts, but he is not afraid of this. He took a deep breath, and with a force, the deadbolt was removed all over.

When the hungry people saw the gates of the city opened, they were stunned.

Liang Erhei said: "Listen, folks, I know where there is food in the city, come with me!" ”

The hungry people heard the word "food", and their eyes were red! They flocked into the city. Liang Erhei took them and went straight to the "ghost houses" in the southwest of the city.

In the granary of the Liu family, tens of thousands of bags of grain are neatly stacked with sacks.

Tens of thousands of hungry people rushed into the Liu family's granary. At first, the hungry people took raw wheat and desperately stuffed it into their mouths.

Liang Erhei shouted: "Folks, don't just eat!" How many grains can I eat before I eat? Move! One person resists one sack and goes! ”

Tens of thousands of hungry people came to their senses, and one of the young people carried a sack, and several of the old and young carried a sack.

In an instant, one-third of the grain in the Liu family's granary was removed.

Liang Erhei shouted again: "Take the food and go home from the city!" Otherwise, the government will investigate it! ”

Tens of thousands of hungry people carried food out of the country.

The people in Qinyang City saw the hungry people helping the old and the young to carry food, and asked where the food came from.

As soon as they heard that there was grain in the southwest of the city, and that no one could take it for nothing, the people of the city also went straight to the southwest of the city.

If this is put in modern times, it is called "robbery".

There are also 10,000 or 20,000 people in Qinyang City, and it is another meal of ants moving.

Several family members of the Liu family heard the news and wanted to stop it, where could they stop it?

In the county office, Liu Mingtian was pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back, waiting for the news of the bandits outside the city.

Steward Liu rushed to the house.

"What's going on again?" Liu Mingtian had a bad premonition.

"Master, master, our family's food in the southwest of the city... Robbed! The butler said.

Liu Mingtian asked: "Robbed?" How much was robbed? ”

The butler replied with a sad face: "Nine times out of ten! ”

Liu Mingtian slapped the housekeeper in the face: "Nonsense! Three hundred hoards of grain, so that eight or nine out of ten can be robbed in such a short time? Isn't it going to come and tens of thousands of people to steal our food? ”

The housekeeper covered his face and said aggrievedly: "It's tens of thousands." The hungry people from outside the city entered the city. Also, the people in the city。。。。。 Tens of thousands of people。。。。。 Woowoo。。。。。。 Grab our food! ”

Chen Di, who was sitting next to him, was happy in his heart, it seemed that the plan had succeeded.

At this time, Xu Inspector happened to walk in, and Xu Inspector said: "Liu Xiancheng, the lower official was ordered to go to your house to catch the beggars who made trouble, but when I arrived at the gate of your mansion, I couldn't even see a figure!" ”

After a while, the leader of the Liu family's soldiers and dozens of officials also returned to the county office.

The leader of the family soldiers said: "Master, those officers and soldiers of Huai Qingwei are really righteous!" ”

Liu Mingtian asked: "Why is it righteous?" ”

The leader of the soldiers said: "We want to fight the bandits when we leave the city. But the bandits fled all the way, and we chased them all the way. Chased all the way to the foot of Yandang Mountain. How can the brothers drill into that ravine! I'm afraid that I will be ambushed by bandits. The old man was righteous, saying that he was afraid that we would go into the ravine and lay in ambush, so he himself took more than 100 Huaiqingwei's officers and troops into the Yandang Mountain to fight the bandits, and sent us back to the county seat! ”

Liu Mingtian looked at the leader of the soldiers suspiciously, and looked at the housekeeper of the Liu family. He patted his brain and suddenly realized: "Fooled!" Fooled! ”

Liu Mingtian sat on the ground.
