Under the smashing of large stones, the mountain bandits soon couldn't stand it.

Seeing that he could not break open the city gate for a while, the one-eyed dragon had to leave behind the corpses of seven or eight mountain bandits, gather up the remaining forces, and hurriedly evacuated while scolding, and retreated to a forest three miles away.

Seeing the defeat and retreat of the mountain bandits, the officials on the city tower waved their hands and cheered in unison.

Before, they couldn't imagine that they would have the day when they would repel the mountain bandits with their own hands!

"Retreated, the mountain bandits retreated, Cui County Lieutenant ......"

Chen Ziang was also very encouraged at this time, trotted to Cui Geng's side, and couldn't hide his excitement and smiled: "County Lieutenant Cui, this official helped you up to see, haha, this mountain bandit is so embarrassed that he retreated......"

As he spoke, Chen Ziang leaned down and was about to help Cui Geng.

"Don't, don't touch me!"

Cui Geng immediately raised his hand and refused Chen Ziang's support, and said with a wry smile: "Chen Xiancheng, the lower officials should sit comfortably, don't, don't move me, please!" ”

Obviously, the croton oil has fallen too hard, and Cui Geng has not finished that strength until now. Although Chen Ziang doesn't know how to practice medicine, he is the so-called literati, ink and doctor, so he can see that Cui Geng's diarrhea this time has really hurt his vitality. It is estimated that even if the diarrhea is stopped, this county lieutenant Cui will have to recuperate for a few days.

Immediately, he withdrew the hand that was on Cui Geng's arm, looked at Hu San'er who was waiting by Cui Geng's side with some reproach, and said, "You Hu San'er, how can you take the drug?" In case the county lieutenant Cui has a bad one, this official will ask you! ”

Hu San'er was also wronged, and said with a bitter face: "Lord County, I didn't expect that this gang of mountain bandits would be so cunning, and they would let the county lieutenant try and test for drugs!" Damn, when you are escorted back to the South Prison, the little ones must give them a little bit of power! ”

"Okay, okay, what's the point? Looks like you're up to it? ”

Cui Geng glanced at Hu San'er angrily, and ordered: "You ask the jailers of the South Prison to escort the Bantam Tiger back to the South Prison first!" ”

"Gotcha!"

Hu San'er finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the county lieutenant Cui no longer seemed to be holding himself accountable for too much fault with his croton. You must know that as long as Lieutenant Cui moves his mouth, his job as an errand will be smashed!

"Wait a minute, come back!"

Suddenly, Cui Geng called Hu San'er back again, and Hu San'er's heart was beating again.

I only heard Cui Geng ask: "By the way, tonight's action seems to be that all the officials of the county government and the guards of the southern prison are here, why don't you see Wu Cripple, the head of the soap class?" Didn't I ask you to recruit people? How? You didn't inform him? ”

"I was informed, but Wu Bantou said," Hu San'er swallowed and said, "He said that it was too late, he was sleepy, and he wanted to sleep with his daughter-in-law!" He also said that since so many people have been called, he is not the only one missing! ”

"What? Did Cripple Wu really say that? Cui Geng scratched his ears, mistakenly thinking that he had misheard.

Hu San'er nodded and said, "The little one doesn't dare to deceive the county lieutenant, when I went to Wu Bantou's house and knocked on the door, he replied to me like this!" ”

"Holy shit, he's still in heaven!"

Cui Geng scolded angrily, looked up at Chen Ziang, and said: "Lord County Cheng, a dog like Wu Cripple who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and who is corrupted for personal purposes, should be expelled from our Qingyuan County government team!" What do you think? ”

Chen Ziang sighed, and said thoughtfully: "At this time of life and death in Qingyuan County, our generation should help each other and break the predicament!" Cui County Lieutenant judged the six Cao, and the third class of officials was also deployed by you, whether this Wu lame man stayed or retreated, naturally it was up to you to decide. The official has no objections! ”

Obviously, after this battle, Chen Ziang has made a great change in his opinion of Cui Geng, a half-tone county lieutenant, and this time he is obviously supporting him and recognizing the legal status of Cui Erlang, the county lieutenant of Qingyuan.

"Okay, in that case, Hu San'er, listen up!"

Cui Geng leaned against the wall and said, "From today on, you will be the leader of the soap class!" Do a good job, don't be embarrassed! ”

"Huh?"

Happiness came too suddenly, and suddenly Hu San'er felt that he was dreaming!

He pinched his dough hard, I'll go, it hurts my dad to death!

However, he still looked incredulous, looked at Cui Geng in a daze, and asked, "My lord, are you telling the truth?" Composed... I'm going to take over the soap shift? ”

Cui Geng said angrily: "Then can there be a fake?" ”

Hu San'er said: "But Wu Ban... Cripple Wu..."

"Cripple Wu? Just let the girl get out! Qingyuan County does not leave waste, let alone the black sheep who are greedy for life and afraid of death! "Cui Geng is very resolute.

Hu San'er hesitated a little and said, "My lord doesn't know, this Wu lame man used to ...... back then."

"Go and go~ Don't talk nonsense, quickly notify the jailers of the South Prison, and put the Bantam Tiger and the mountain bandits in the prison, so that they can be taken care of!"

Cui Geng interrupted Hu San'er with an impatient wave of his hand, looking disgusted.

At this time, Chen Ziang stretched his waist and said with emotion: "In case the mountain bandits approach the door again, tonight we still have to let Hu San'er lead people to guard the city gate." As long as they dare to come, they will be served! Alas...... After tossing for a night, the official can finally sleep peacefully! Thinking that after dawn, the reinforcements from Quanzhou Mansion should always come! ”

It can be seen that Chen Ziang has a sense of accomplishment after repelling the mountain bandits this time.

"Get a good night's sleep? The prefectural lord thinks too much! ”

Cui Geng shook his head and reminded: "Don't forget, isn't the county government still occupied by a few mountain bandits?" Didn't you just say that the leader of the bandits is called a big buffalo, a brute bull with a dozen or ten? ”

"Yes, yes, this official almost forgot about this!"

Chen Ziang stroked his forehead and smiled bitterly, and said: "There are still six mountain bandits in the county government, and the leader is very strong, and ordinary seven or eight officials may not be able to get close to him!" Yes, and that Fang Ming, who has now become the military advisor of the mountain bandits! On the crime, this thief should be punished! ”

"Fang Ming?" Cui Geng said with a smile, "Even if he is not a mountain bandit military division, he will not escape death." It just so happened that Hu San'er left ten people to guard the city, let's take other officials to the county government and stew those grandsons! ”

Chen Ziang glanced at a group of lazy officials upstairs in the city, and reminded in a low voice: "County Lieutenant Cui, although the number of mountain bandits who stay in the county government is small, if we don't take it hard, I'm afraid we will still have some difficulties." ”

Cui Geng pursed his lips and said, "Dozens of officials, and now there are more than a dozen horizontal knives in our hands, facing five or six mountain bandits, are you still afraid of an egg?" ”

When Chen Ziang heard this, he frowned and said, "Rude! ”

"Ann La Ann~"

Cui Geng slowly got up against the wall, patted Chen Ziang's shoulder, and said with relief: "You can't take it hard, let's find a way to outwit it." ”

"Outwitted?"

Chen Ziang nodded in agreement: "Outwit well, outwit well." Now the Hu County Order is still in their hands, if they take it hard, in case the mountain bandit dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, it will hurt the Hu County Order, which will be very bad! ”

Hu Zeyi?

Cui Geng pouted secretly, I will kill him!

Indeed, with Hu Zeyi's actions in the past two days, he has died a hundred times, and Cui Geng feels that it is not a pity!

……

……

At this time, Qingyuan County Ya, in the lobby courtyard.

Fang Ming looked up at the sky from time to time, seeing that the night was getting thinner and thinner, knowing that it was almost dawn.

But at this time, the one-eyed dragon who went out of the city to get silver had not returned, and there was not even anyone who returned to the city to report the good news.

Suddenly, he panicked in his heart.

For a moment, he paced back and forth in the courtyard, muttering, "Why haven't you come back yet?" Isn't there something going on on the road? ”

"Ahem! Master Fang, can you be quiet for a while? Walking around and breaking thoughts, it upsets me! The big buffalo finally couldn't help it anymore and counted Fang Ming.

Hearing this, Fang Ming walked over and said with a worried face: "Brother Buffalo, you said that the big boss has been out of the city for an hour, why hasn't he come back yet?" My heart was so sudden that I always felt that something was going to happen! ”

"Phew, shut your crow's mouth, my big brother is lucky, bah bah!"

The big buffalo glared at the bull's eyes like copper bells, bared his teeth and scolded: "This time will take some time to go out of the city and enter the city to get silver again." You don't want to demagogue people here, be careful that Lao Tzu kills you with a knife! ”

Fang Ming listened to the threat of the big buffalo and shrunk his neck in fright. As a freshly fallen grass, he had no friendship with the mountain bandits of the big buffalo at all. With no one-eyed dragon covering him at the moment, he didn't dare to guarantee that this fool in front of him would do anything out of the ordinary.

"Fooled, you fooled, Chen Ziang deceived you all!"

At this time, Hu Zeyi, who had already woken up, was tied up under a locust tree in the courtyard of the hall by five flowers, looked at the big buffalo and Fang Ming, shook his head again and again, and said, "You guys let me go quickly, and then run for your life quickly." This official knows Chen Ziang, he must have set some kind of trap to deceive you boss and other brothers! Maybe at this time, you big bosses will be more than lucky. ”

Speaking of this, he saw that the big buffalo was indifferent, so he had to turn his target to Fang Ming and shouted: "Fang Ming, you have lived in Qingyuan County for so many years, do you think that the county's money, grain and taxes can be as much as hundreds of thousands?" Obviously, this is Chen Ziang's words to bewitch you, that is, he has taken a fancy to the greed of these mountain bandits. You are about to release the official, the official guarantees, no matter what the result is, the official will try his best to protect you, and the past things are not to blame, and even let you come to my Qingyuan County Ya to seek an errand! ”

"Huh?" Fang Ming's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but feel up.

Seeing this, Hu Zeyi said again: "Fang Ming, you know that this official is in Qingyuan County, Chen Ziang and Cui Erlang are just the adjutant of this official!" If you let go of this official, you don't have to be a coward in the future, this official will give you an errand in the county office, and you will have a peaceful birthday in the future! ”

Fang Ming became more and more moved, licked his lips, and asked, "Is it true that everything was not to blame before?" What about killing someone? ”

Hu Zeyi didn't think about it, and replied happily: "Qingyuan County's one-third of an acre of land, this official has the final say. What is it to kill someone? If the official says that you are innocent, you are innocent! ”

"Oh......"

Fang Ming squirmed his Adam's apple, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, looked back at the big buffalo, and said flatteringly: "Brother Buffalo, in fact, this Hu County Order is also right. Let's hide all day long~ When are the hidden mountain bandits, when is it a head! Maybe the big boss was really deceived by Chen Ziang, or we ......"

"Smack!"

There was a crunch.

The buffalo fan's big slap slapped directly on Fang Ming's face, instantly slapping his left cheek high and swollen, spinning around like a spinning top, and falling to the ground.

"Fuck off! I could see at a glance that you were a heartless dog! ”

The big buffalo was full of anger and scolded: "Look at my eldest brother coming back in a while, how can I clean up your dog's day!" ”

Learn about Suosuo......

At this moment, a noisy footsteps sounded outside the county office.

Immediately afterwards, a voice that Fang Ming and Hu Zeyi were very familiar with suddenly sounded outside the county office: "Listen to the mountain bandits inside, the one-eyed dragon and the bantam tiger and other mountain bandits have been exterminated by us!" You are limited to half a pillar of incense, disarm and surrender! Otherwise, Lao Tzu will set fire to this Qingyuan County Ya and burn you bastards to death! ”

"It's... Is it Cui Erlang? Fang Ming's face changed greatly.

When Hu Zeyi heard this, he raised his head and exclaimed at the county government: "County Lieutenant Cui, don't mess around, this official is still inside!" ”

"Lao Tzu repeatedly, listen to the mountain bandits inside! Within the time limit of half a pillar of incense, disarm and surrender. Otherwise, Lao Tzu will burn the county government and burn you alive! ”

Cui Geng shouted again, as if he hadn't heard Hu Zeyi's words.
