Chapter 52: The Spies

The old fox kept sending spies to Guancheng to find out the truth.

Strangely, according to the spies, Guancheng was as calm as ever. There was no major military action, and the officials of our grain robbery were tight-lipped, as if it had not happened.

This is strange, according to common sense, Cao Jun has already sent light cavalry to arrest them, but they seem to be fine.

The only difference was that they were equipped with archers when they transported food from Guancheng, and the number of escorts increased.

The calmer the surface, the more choppy it will be. The old fox did not dare to act rashly.

……

We can't be called soldiers yet, we don't even have military uniforms, we are a bunch of mountain bandits.

We don't have official permission, in fact, we are blatant anti-thieves.

"Xiao Tu, let's take charge of the city with me tomorrow." The old fox won't give me any face when no one is around.

Being offered every day, I was too lazy to eat, and I began to covet comfort: "What to go, isn't there a spy, just let them go."

"Tell you, the little ration we robbed will last for ten days and a half months. Do you really think that if we rob Cao Cao of his military rations, he will be indifferent? Roll it up. Let's take a look and have a delicious meal. Is this fucking human food? The old fox also began to complain.

"Good, good, good, go, go, go." I was overjoyed, this ration was really not for people to eat.

"Brother Xiao Ming, I want to go with you."

I wanted to say no to Slim, her appearance was too conspicuous. But I can't say it explicitly, I have to be tactful.

I couldn't think of any euphemism, so I had to say, "That, Slim." You can go, wait for us at home. ”

If there is a chance, the old fox will always create opportunities for the two of us to be alone.

So the old fox stopped: "Why don't you go, Xian Xian will also go."

We disguised ourselves and pretended to be businessmen and entered the city smoothly.

As soon as he entered the city, an old man's cry came from a family in the city.

We didn't want to be nosy, but we had to be curious to see what was going on, so we had to stop.

This is an ordinary house on the street, surrounded by some people, all whispering and talking.

I stepped forward: "Excuse me, what's going on in this house?"

I asked a middle-aged man next to me, and the middle-aged man looked me up and down.

I explained, "Oh, we're businessmen from out of town. Passing by here, I heard the cry, and then stopped. ”

Only then did the middle-aged man speak: "Alas, what a sin." The officials are making trouble again. ”

When the old fox heard this, he immediately became interested, and he patted the middle-aged man: "This brother, I don't know why this family offended the government and caused such a disaster."

The middle-aged man whispered: "This old man Li's wife was insulted by a soldier a few days ago, and it seems that she was still raped and killed." It's not as good as a beast to be a soldier. ”

"Isn't it true that no one cares about the soldiers?" I asked, surprised.

The middle-aged man looked at me strangely, revealing a look that you don't understand: "The soldiers have done all the same evil in these years, who can control it."

The old fox hurriedly nodded and said, "This Li Laohan didn't go to the county government to complain?"

"Go, Li Laohan took his daughter to the county government to shout grievances. The county magistrate said that he would make the decision for Li Laohan. ”

Ye Xianxian also said: "This is a good thing, didn't this county official say that he was in charge of Li Laohan."

The middle-aged man rolled his eyes: "What do you know, this county order turned out to be interested in the beauty of Li Laohan's daughter, so he deliberately agreed to be the master."

I pretended to suddenly understand: "Did the county order make the decision for Li Laohan?"

The middle-aged man immediately sighed, revealing a look of regret: "This dog county order not only did not make decisions for Li Laohan, but also left Li Laohan's daughter in the county office, and he ruined Li Laohan's daughter again."

We were amazed that there was such an unethical thing in the world.

"What did the dog official say about Li Laohan's daughter seducing him, and said that his wife was also the first to seduce. Li Laohan's family is all sluts, and if he doesn't convict him, he will be open. What nonsense, the soldier snatched Li Laohan's wife on the street in front of the public, I'm bah! The middle-aged man spat angrily.

Even the old fox was furious: "Isn't this a fucking bandit?"

I patted him, "Hey, bandits aren't that bad."

We're just a bunch of bandits, are we going to do this?

The middle-aged man immediately nodded in agreement: "This official is much more vicious than the bandits."

He continued: "This old man Li's daughter committed suicide by hanging herself when she came back."

"Ahh Ye Xianxian couldn't help but sigh angrily and regretfully.

"What's the name of this prefectural order?"

"What are you asking about this?" The middle-aged man was a little wary.

The old fox hurriedly explained: "Oh, I heard Brother Tai say this, I know that this county order is a faint official who oppresses and is good. When we do business, we are afraid of dealing with the government, because we want to inquire clearly. ”

Only then did the middle-aged man put his mind at ease: "This county order is called Zhou Yuanba, and we ordinary people call him Zhou Bully behind our backs." After he came to this city, he oppressed the people and did all the bad things that lost his conscience. ”

He pointed to the house: "No, Li Laohan is another family, and the family is ruined." This old man Li is also afraid that his life will not last long. ”

The middle-aged man shook his head and sighed, and the neighbors sighed too. This Guancheng County Ling was originally a dog official who did all kinds of evil.

The old fox asked again, "Hey, this brother." How did we find out that the city was so heavily guarded? Could it be that there is a war here? In this troubled world, we still need to be cautious. ”

The middle-aged man was very enthusiastic: "Don't worry, this county government is stocking up on military rations." That's why there are so many soldiers in the city, and there are so many bad people who do all kinds of evil. ”

"What is the county government doing with grain? Is it going to be a war? ”

"Who knows, what the little people are doing with those idle minds. There is so much grain in this county, we can't eat, and this county order is still changing its methods every day to loot our people. I can't live this day. ”

"Thanks, let's go." The old fox's last words were for us.

"Alas, I don't know when this world will be peaceful." The middle-aged man's sigh came from behind him.

We bid farewell to the middle-aged man and no longer pay attention to the affairs of Li Laohan's family, which is not uncommon in troubled times.

"Dog officer!" Ye Xianxian said angrily.

"There are more dog officers. Let's go, let's go to the county government as well. The old fox said.

"Go to death, you go to death, go to the county office, you have to go yourself. Maybe this gate will already be plastered with your portrait. "I'm incoherent.

The old fox kicked me: "What is the purpose of our coming?" Go and see if there are any teahouses and restaurants nearby. ”

When I fell off the altar, I immediately became the servant of the old fox, which really drove me crazy.

"Hey, this restaurant is good." I pointed to a shop next to me, I didn't know the name of the store in traditional Chinese, but I still knew the word for wine at the door.

"Qiong Qi, those two words read Qiong Zhai. It's a brewery, a brewer, not a restaurant. Ye Xianxian corrected me.
