Two hundred and thirty-two chapters of civil servants in the Tang Dynasty, blood and tears!

People come and go fast. Under the leadership of Xiong Han, he was unwilling to retreat.

Witness them retreat. A relieved gasp sounded at the entrance of the county office. There wasn't much head-on contact just now. But the tension and ridicule of the scene are too scary. Under the extreme tension of the spirit, as soon as I relaxed at this time, I felt that my legs were as if I had lost my strength. The heartbeat is also fast, which makes people panic.

"Fortunately, these barbarians are not bold enough to dare to besiege the county government." Jia Xu gasped a few times. Put the knife into the sheath and bow to Tang Cheng. "Your Excellency is brave. It really makes his subordinates admire."

He said this. Only then did the panting tolerances and clerks react. Oh, yes. If it hadn't been for the decisive action of the county lord himself just now. Those ridiculous barbarians are in their hands. If that's the result. They had just raised their eyebrows and exhaled once, but when they turned around, they became laughing stocks again. Don't think about this yamen anymore!

Follow behind Jia Xu. The men who returned the knife into the sheath bent down and bowed to Tang Cheng. Although they were not greeted by anyone, they did not salute in order. But the sincerity of the mood goes far beyond the clutter of form.

It's only been a few hours since last night. But in the past few hours with Tang Cheng, the tolerance has experienced the ups and downs of the tide. Worry when capturing the Udu. Anxiety behind the hand. The excitement of an overnight ascension. The pleasure of whipping the Vultures. and the thunderous sound outside the public hall in the morning and the trembling on the line of life and death just now. From worry to apprehension to excitement and pleasure, it makes people's hearts surging with pride and trembling. The experience of these five hours is truly dizzying. Unforgettable.

After last night's selection, except for Jia Xu, who is older. The others are under thirty. Twenty-year-old people who don't have an impulsive complex. They have also lamented this tolerance countless times. It doesn't look like a law enforcement tolerance at all. Even after wearing the soap suit for several years, I never really found a tolerance that should feel like it. But their deepest regret has been completely satisfied in the past few hours. Although the time is short. But they really felt the responsibility of being a tolerance, the danger, the fear, and the unstoppable pride in their hearts when the sound of color swelled.

In the midst of these hours. They began to do it intentionally or unintentionally. Consciously or unconsciously examine yourself. I see what it means to be a job in addition to a job. At the same time, their eyes are always unconsciously turned to the new prefectural magistrate who has been in contact for a short time, but feels very familiar and familiar. It was this county order, which was previously known as Tang Bixuan, that led them through the past few hours. It gave them a new experience that they had never had before, and it led to a violent psychological shock.

However, they still vaguely don't know how to accurately evaluate this county honorable who has been in office for less than a day. But from those past hours. Especially the glittering performance just now. This county order, which is smaller than all of them, deserves this heartfelt gift.

Don't say anything else. At least follow him without worrying about being betrayed. Don't worry, when he is in danger, he will hide far behind and shout, "Brothers." Rush me! ”。 Although not a word of grandiose words has been uttered. But in the face of life and death danger, he will stand silently by your side. Even in the most critical moments, he did not hesitate to stride forward. As a young tolerance. can wash away the old shame with such a chief official. Rebuild the pride and authority of the county government and the office itself. What could be more ** blood than this!

All in all. Follow him to do the right thing. Enough! Enough for men!

Seeing the tolerances, they saluted one after another. The scribes who had the courage to come up at first were trying to calm their overly negative hearts. Put down the tight stool in his hand and go to the door of the yamen to salute Tang Cheng. Everything that happened in a short period of time was crazy. And the new county order stood up at the last moment but it was too dazzling. Dazzling enough to witness all this, they didn't need any psychological transformation at all, and they naturally accepted this new boss who appeared purely with a calm, cold, and tough image.

Salute to the pale scribes. Tang Cheng nodded and accepted it calmly. "You. Record a copy of the list of all the scribes present."

The clerk who was in Tang Cheng's finger was stunned for a moment, and then nodded hurriedly. Seeing this, Qian Sanscar, who happened to be familiar with him, smiled and said, "Old Hu." Congratulations. Your job has been saved! ”

Hear this. Tang Cheng glanced at Qian Sanscar. I didn't expect this seemingly rude reckless man to have this mind. Not bad. That's exactly what he thinks. As early as two days after coming to Longmen that day, he clearly felt that the current Longmen County Government would not need so many people. A county of no more than 40,000 people. Only half of the population can really manage it. How many things can be done to support so many people? On the one hand, there is the clanging noise of poverty on the county government's books. On the other hand, there are a large number of tolerance officials in the yamen who only want to eat mixed rice. It's not a joke.

Tang Cheng himself is a person who will devote himself to something once he does something. He is serious about his own work, so he naturally can't look down on those who only think about messing around every day. It's just that it doesn't matter at any time on any party. But it is always the most difficult and easiest to exacerbate contradictions. Although Tang Cheng was determined in this matter, he couldn't think of a good way for the time being. In his original idea, the county government was rectified. Removing the redundant personnel from the yamen will be an arduous and lengthy task. A vague plan was conceived for this purpose, which would take a year and a half. Even if it's a year and a half. However, if it can be completed within this time limit, it will be considered efficient.

Change always comes faster than planned. From last night's incident, Tang Cheng sensitively saw a possibility. That is, to take advantage of the conflict with the Xi people in the plan to complete the rectification of the county government. Just as in a state of war, it is always easiest to adopt policies that have no hope of being adopted in peacetime. One of the benefits of an abnormal environment is that the way and time things are pushed can also be abnormal. And under the right conditions, it can minimize the unbearable shock in the normal environment.

This morning's dismissal of more than a dozen husbands is the best example. After a special period has passed the test means of a special event. Not only that

Tolerance of peers. Commoners. Even the expelled husbands came out to make trouble on their own. A thing that would have taken a lot of effort was actually done peacefully. Now that the opportunity to target the officials has reappeared. If only it was easy to let it go. Tang Cheng is not Tang Cheng.

Woe and blessing lurk! Although this sentence has been familiar to later generations. But truly understand and be able to use it flexibly. Tang Cheng was indeed very grateful to the former Jinzhou Assassin Sun Envoy Jun that he had followed. It is through the study of him. Tang Cheng has the awareness and consciousness to look for opportunities in the crisis. Since then. Whenever he encounters an extremely difficult moment, he always thinks backwards and asks himself: "What are the opportunities to take advantage of this crisis?" ”。 This time, he seized the opportunity to rectify the county government in the struggle against the Xi people, which was the result of this kind of reverse thinking.

Now it is already expected that after the end of this fight with Xi Ren. The work of rectifying the county government will also be successfully completed. At that time, the Longmen County Government will be a greatly streamlined institution. The significance of this is much more than just a reduction in spending. What's more. It would be an authority that identifies with him. The new county government with his personal imprint is clearly marked. At the same time, this will also be a yamen that has undergone a test of courage in actual combat. Guts. For such a special county as Longmen. Its importance cannot be overemphasized.

After retracting his gaze from Qian Sanscar. Tang Cheng turned to Jia Xu. "Do you know the leader Xi Ren just now?"

"Cudo. The head of the courtyard of the Shuntian Warehouse on West Street. Known for his brute force. There are few people in the city who don't know him."

"Suncheon Warehouse? Obey the heavens. This warehouse is not small." Tang Cheng was about to ask something more. Zheng Lingyi, who was beside him, tugged at his sleeve. Follow her gesture to look at the past tense. I saw a few people pouring out of the other streets that had just been empty. These people are dressed in Tang costumes. The things in the hands are also varied. Burning sticks, supporting window poles, fire chopsticks, rolling pins, etc., to name a few. Take a closer look. Some of these people are quite familiar. Most of them were people who had just come to the church.

"Your Excellency. They are here to support the yamen." Jia Xu, who said this, was full of excitement. Worked as an errand for so many years. It's good not to be scolded by the people. How dare you imagine such a scene? Although there are not many Tang people who come to help in front of them. But it shows a good sign.

"Hmm". See this scene. Tang Cheng finally relaxed, and his cold expression showed a relieved smile. "The people's hearts are not dead. The people's hearts can be expected! ”。

But such a good mood was soon wiped out by the sudden screams and cries of the city. When I first heard it, it was a small sound. But it soon spread like a plague. The screams were filled with fear and panic. From the first sound to the blossoming in all directions, it is almost an instantaneous effort. It is clear that it takes a lot of people to work together to cause such a panic and turmoil in the whole city.

"The ridicule is in trouble". Jia Xu's hand grabbed the handle of the knife. "Your Excellency. What to do? ”。

Screams all over the place. The faces of those Tang people who came with all kinds of guys in their hands changed immediately. He began to turn and run back. These are strong men. They are not only the pillars of the family. It is the backbone of the family.

If you don't reach the city, you will cause turmoil in the whole city. The Xi people in Longmen County are really lawless to this point! Although preparations have been made for such possible turmoil for a long time. But Tang Cheng was really not sure that such a thing would definitely happen. This is the Tang Dynasty, which is steadily moving towards prosperity. How dare this clan of more than 20,000 people dare to be so careless?

The inexorable facts shattered the cautious optimism he had never given up on before. first came to rob the Wudu. After the looting failed, it began to cause turmoil in the whole city. Xi Ren's purpose in doing this was clear to Tang Chengqing. This is not only a counterattack and a terrifying deterrent to the Tang people in the city. is even more to take away his county order in one fell swoop.

Just one month after taking office, there was a city-wide turmoil. Whatever the reason. He is to blame for this county order.

These Tang Chengdu knows. I also thought about it carefully before I did it to Xi Ren. What he was thinking of now was not what he was mentally prepared for. It's the root behind this appearance - why do the Xi people in Longmen County dare to be so unscrupulous? Are they so arrogant that they are not even afraid of the imperial court? Such a thing is not said in the six states and counties. It's simply unthinkable.

The exclamations that grew up were in turmoil. Smile to your heart's content. Tang Cheng, who had regained his cold expression, shook his head. The Xi people of Longmen County have not dared to take this step. Not to mention that there are only more than 20,000 people in their clan. Even if the entire Rao Lexi clan is tied together, they don't dare to provoke the imperial court under the current national strength of the Tang Dynasty.

As long as it's not a fool. In the world, whoever dares to do extraordinary things must have extraordinary dependence. So...... Where are these ridiculers? How deep are the roots?

"Adult". Listening to the sound of turmoil, he got closer and closer to the yamen. Jia Xu raised his volume a little and gritted his teeth and said, "Do you want your subordinates to attack?"

"I will ride alone into the city and preach the law." That's it. Tang Cheng turned around suddenly. "Who's going?".

Perform such a task in such a situation...... Jia Xu, who was stubborn, was just about to speak. was stopped by Tang Cheng.

The tolerances were silent for not long. Qian Sanscar suddenly took a step forward. "I'll go!".

"Good!". Tang Cheng took a few steps forward and gave Qian Sanscar the yellow birch crossbow in his hand and patted him on the shoulder. "There you go. Come back alive for this officer! ”。

Because the congestion is too strong. The three scars on Qian Sanscar's face and neck were as hideous as twisted centipedes. This reckless man who looks like Zhang Fei's special actor laughed out loud. Carrying a crossbow and bow, he didn't look back and went to the county horse.

Send away the money three scars. Tang Cheng turned his head and looked at the row of tolerances. "Bring a knife and a bow. Twelve of you will come with me to East Street."

In the face of Qian Sanscar's performance, the tolerances who were quite ashamed replied: "Take the order."

"As a prefectural magistrate. I can't help but be in this situation. But I'm not separated from those twelve tolerances

Come back safely". patted Zheng Lingyi on the shoulder. Tang Cheng glanced at Laifu Zheng and then turned around and strode down the steps.

"Your Excellency. There is no one in the county office. Madame ......".

"Attacking the county government is a rebellion! Xi people don't have the courage to do so." With a "sonorous" sound, he pulled out the long knife on his waist. Tang Cheng yelled, "Go!" ”。

looked at the back of Tang Cheng, who had no retrospective. Zheng Lingyi raised his hand and finally swallowed back the shout in his mouth. "Rifle. Go to the errand room and find all the weapons I can find. Zheng San, Zheng Wu, you gather the people in the yamen for me."

At this moment, Zheng Lingyi seemed to have become the envoy in Yangzhou City who spared no effort to fight pirates.

Just walked down the last step of the yamen. Tang Cheng suddenly felt that the face under his feet seemed to move. After taking two steps, this feeling became more and more obvious.

I also stayed in the Ten Thousand Cavalry Army for more than half a year. Tang Cheng clearly knew that this was a unique movement that was only introduced when the cavalry of the brigade galloped high.

"*** Jia Zixing. You're finally here, you turtle." After scolding from the bottom of his heart. Tang Cheng, who let out a long breath, stopped abruptly.

Public; They all know the inside story. Waiting for this is also waiting for the fire. With the same thoughts. When Tang Cheng stopped. At least three tolerances immediately fell to his stomach. Regardless of the dirty cold, I put my ear down.

After listening for a while, the fastest crunched man screamed excitedly with half of his face on it. "Cavalry. It was the cavalry who arrived".

"It's time for them to arrive, too." Tang Cheng waved his hand. "Get up! Get ready to arrest someone. It's better to make a mistake than let it go. Don't give me any softness."

"Yes". The loudness of the tolerances' loud yes in unison startled them.

The sensation of the face shaking is getting stronger and stronger. Soon there is no need to lie on the ground anymore is clearly felt. Then there was a dull sound. The noise is getting louder and louder. When it reached the apex, it suddenly turned into a crisp sound like rain.

This sound was only made when a large cavalry galloped on the bluestone pavement. This means that the cavalry has officially entered the city.

When the sound of this rain sounded. The entire Longmen County seemed to be stunned, and there was a moment of silence. Immediately, all kinds of voices sounded more chaotically.

The county seat of Longmen is not large. The vanguard cavalry soon rushed to the front of the county yamen. The person who led the troops was Lieutenant Guoyi surnamed Jiang whom Tang Cheng had seen in Jia Zixing Mansion in Baiyang Town. After galloping, the people did not dismount and said loudly: "The seven hundred horsemen of the Tiancheng Army have arrived." The gates guarded by the town army were also taken over by our army. How to act. Tang County ordered to give a charter."

"It is the duty of the border army to quell violence and punish chaos. How to make this great achievement, Jiang Duwei is an expert. I want this layman to say more." Tang Cheng easily pulled a border sergeant off his horse. I flipped over and rode up. "One and the other. Kill less, capture more. Every time there is an extra Tang life in the hands of the Tiancheng Army. A certain extra 100 acres! ”。

"Rejoice! Sons. The blades are all collected by Lao Tzu. Smash these mongrels with the back of a knife". Jiang Duwei was very satisfied with Tang Cheng's behavior of a layman not interfering with an insider. Laughing and roaring back. Dial the horse. "Go!".

His horse's head just moved. Tang Cheng has also ridden his horse. It happened to be in line with Jiang Duwei and rushed straight into East Street.

East Street is already a mess. Many Tang people are fighting with Xi people. Although the number of Tang people is not small. But most of them are alone. And the Xi people are obviously organized in a group of at least five people. In addition, people are generally more fierce than Tang people in temperament and physical fitness. In this situation, the Tang people were simply powerless to resist the enemy. Straight to be beaten falling flowers and flowing water. Broken portals on both sides and wounded and moaning people could be seen everywhere. Also broken sticks. The rocks rolled up. The whole scene is indescribably chaotic.

"I said that these uncivilized barbarians should be killed. But the imperial court pressed us and didn't let us move," Jiang Duwei, who was riding on a horse, was obviously a killing madman. Last time I was in Baiyang Town, I looked quite quiet as a person, but after encountering such a scene, I was not a person. He kept talking loudly, and he slammed his backhand on the back. Xi Ren who was running in front of the horse. Although the back of the knife is used. But this guy is too hard. With the help of the war horse, he smashed the brains of a good head like a watermelon. The fallen servant is no longer alive.

"Damn it. I haven't been in battle for a long time. The hand was out of strength. Don't blame Lord Tang! ”。 Jiang Duwei wiped the brains splashed on his face into his mouth. Haha laughed madly. In his crazy laughter. The man who was running in front of him collapsed on the side of the road on his legs.

, this is the first time Tang Cheng has witnessed murder in this life. The moment his brain splashed, his whole body trembled suddenly, and he felt his stomach twitch hard. "Fortunately, it's not the Tang people who died. Otherwise, a hundred acres will be gone." Tang Cheng, whose face was as cold as iron, returned the sentence. Quietly put the outstretched long knife back away. With such a killing madness. He didn't need to get any more blood.

"The Tang County Order is coming." The first to shout this was an old Tang man who was beaten and his head was bleeding. Leaning weakly against the roadside wall, he tried his best to shout in a hoarse voice: "Tang County ordered to bring troops to save us."

The intersection of East Street is not too wide. Tang Cheng and Jiang Duwei rode horses and rode straight forward. Along the way, those Xi Man, who was still fierce and vicious just now, were like autumn leaves in front of such a large army of cavalry. No one was spared.

Under the horse. The cold wind blew the county magistrate and entered the crown of virtue. He blew up his official robe, which represented the majesty of the Son of Heaven and the laws of the court. But he can't bend a straight backbone. I can't blow the long knife that symbolizes force in my hand.

Looking at this scene with blood dripping from the corners of his eyes. The frightened heart of the old man finally had something to rely on. Immediately, two muddy old tears and blood rolled down.

How many years have you waited. It's finally here. It's over. The days of decades of orphans in the Tang Dynasty in Longmen County are finally coming to an end......
