Chapter 15: Turnaround
The night is getting deeper, and the spring in the Ximen Mansion is strong, but the county government hall is gloomy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The letter was passed around in everyone's hands, but no one expressed any opinion on it, that is, Wu Jingui, who had been thundering all day, was also sitting quietly behind the public case at this time, his face was cloudy, a pair of iron fists tightened, loosened and tightened, and finally sighed in the middle of the sound: "Hey~ Dong Ping, what do you think?" ”
"Your Excellency!"
Hearing this, Dong Ping came out of the right line, leaned forward with the tiger's back, clasped his hands into fists and said loudly: "In the opinion of the last general, that demon Wuda only wrote four words on this letter - bluff!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the originally dead and silent hall instantly turned into a vegetable market, and the civil and military officials exchanged heads and talked about each other, especially the county commander Li Datian, who shrank on the left and shook his head, with a look of disagreement - in his opinion, Wu Kai had already killed more than 30 people with demon methods, and there were even court officials among them, how could it be said that he was bluffing?
"You say he's bluffing?"
Wu Jingui knew Dong Ping's ability, and knew that he would not be untargeted, and when he heard this, he immediately came to his senses, his fat body straightened up, and he said hurriedly: "If there is any evidence, tell me quickly."
"There is no clear proof of the last general, but if Wu Da really has a way to summon the heavenly thunder to bombard us, how can he be trapped in Ximen Mansion now, unable to move? Moreover, the last general made people inquire carefully, and they all said that when he killed Ximenqing, he used a magic weapon with a ruler length and a thick thumb, not a thunderbolt that fell out of thin air! ”
Although Dong Ping was also bluffed by the explosion at the beginning, he was an excellent general after all, and after coming back to his senses, he began to deliberate about Wu Kai's intention to do this, and he had already made up his mind at this time.
Therefore, he stood in the hall and talked eloquently: "In addition, Master He was also killed by the heavenly thunder after he had contact with the demon, so the final general inferred that the martial arts can only use the magic weapon to cast the thunder method at a certain distance, and has no ability to summon the heavenly thunder to kill people at will." ”
After saying this, almost everyone in the hall nodded yes, and even Li Datian couldn't help but be overjoyed - people, after all, like to listen to what is beneficial to them.
Seeing his subordinates showing their faces like this, Wu Jingui stroked his beard with a smile, and asked, "Since this is the case, then do you have a plan to break the thief?" ”
"Your Excellency."
Dong Ping had already made up his mind, bowed slightly, and continued: "Although that demon Wuda is bluffing, the demon magic in his hand is unpredictable, and he must not be taken lightly!" The last general thought that it was better to besiege than to attack, and if he dared to come out, he would serve from afar with a bow and crossbow; But if he does not dare to come out, he will be cut off from food and water, and he will be hungry for a few days......
"That's not the right plan!"
Seeing that he was about to reach the climax, he was suddenly interrupted by someone's exit, and the anger in Dong Ping's heart can be imagined, but when he looked for prestige, he saw that the person who spoke was Wu Jingui's personal leader Wu Erniu - there is a way to beat the dog to see the master, Dong Ping had no choice but to suppress the anger in his heart, and snorted: "Wu Erniu, you said that the general's plan is not appropriate, do you have any high opinions?" ”
It was Wu Jingui himself, who was also a little dissatisfied with Wu Erniu's rash intervention, but he didn't want to send his cronies in front of people, so he didn't immediately scold, but stared at Wu Erniu viciously, waiting for him to give him an explanation.
Wu Erniu was glared at by the master, his body immediately softened, and he knelt down on one knee and said: "Master, the little one didn't mean to interject, but the little one went to his uncle's house with the master a few times, and knew that there was a cellar in the backyard, which was full of firewood, rice, oil and salt all the year round, plus there was a well in the northwest corner, I didn't dare to say that it was not a problem for three or five people to rely on these things to support the first half of the year." ”
The lobby fell into silence again, and even Dong Ping frowned, if it was besieged for a few days or even a dozen days, it would be enough, if it was half a year - even if his soldiers did not mutiny because of this, Wu Jingui and Dong Ping could not afford to delay.
In the middle of the ring, a general proposed: "Why don't you just set a fire and force them out?" ”
But before Wu Jingui could comment, someone on the side picked it out and sneered: "What kind of nonsense are you talking about, don't forget that the only daughter of Lord Metropolitan Prison is still inside, do you want to burn him to death?!" ”
Li Datian also shook his head and said: "It's not proper, it's not proper, this is like today's dry things, if a fire can't be controlled, I'm afraid that YG County will turn into a white ground!" Besides, since the demon can manipulate the heavenly thunder, maybe he can also be invulnerable. ”
Other Yanggu officials also spoke out one after another, I don't know and think that they all love the people like children, but in fact, it is because many people live near the left side of Ximen Mansion, if the fire is really uncontrollable, they will be the first to suffer.
After that, someone came up with a few ideas, but one was more bad than the other, especially when a reckless man actually proposed a strong attack, intending to kill Wu Kai with his life, but he was drenched in blood by everyone.
Even Wu Jingui and Dong Ping couldn't wait to go up and reward him for his feet - now is the critical moment for the promotion of the two, and the dead and wounded more than a dozen soldiers are still good to confess, if they really fill in hundreds of lives for a demon, let alone promotion, it is good not to be dismissed and investigated!
Seeing that everyone was arguing with each other, Wu Jingui finally couldn't help but slap the table and shouted: "Shut up, shut up for me!" This is the county office, not the vegetable market, what kind of system are you shouting so noisily?! Li County Order, come and talk about it! ”
The county commander Li Datian hurriedly jumped up from the chair, first arched his hand at Wu Jingui, and then shook his head in an official tone and said: "What Lord Metropolitan Supervisor said is right, this county government is an important place in the government, and it is in charge of the name of the punishment of a county, and the education of a hundred miles is ......."
"Idiot!"
Wu Jingui interrupted him and said angrily: "Lao Tzu is asking you to talk about the strategy of breaking the thief, who cares about your punishment and education?!" ”
Li Datian's face was red and embarrassed when he was scolded, and he was stunned for a long time, and then he said to the mud again: "What the generals said makes sense, but the thief and demon law are strong and vicious, and if you press it tightly, it will not be beautiful......
"So to speak."
Wu Jingui didn't wait for him to finish, so he asked with fierce eyes: "Is Master Li trying to recruit him?" ”
"No, no, no, I ...... I just ......"
Being forced by him to ask, Li Datian couldn't help but panic again, you must know that the word 'Zhao'an' is easy to say but difficult to do, and if you don't handle it well, you will become an adultereration thief.
Therefore, unless forced to do so, very few people are willing to 'recruit An'.
However, Li Datian is not a newcomer in the officialdom after all, although he doesn't have much ability, he is still proficient in 'Taijiquan' in one hand, so after reacting, he hurriedly stepped forward and gave a deep salute, and said: "Lord Metropolitan Supervisor, the lower official is just a scholar, and he has no power to restrain the chicken, so dare to talk about this sword soldier?" It's better to ask the Metropolitan Supervisor to make an idea, and the officials will do everything accordingly. ”
Straight sissy thief!
Wu Jingui scolded secretly, I really can't wait to send this bird county order to let Wu Kai bombard to death, but unfortunately I can only think about it, no matter how wasteful Li Datian is, he is also from the two lists of Jinshi, if he is really pushed out to die, not to mention his peers, classmates, and fellow villagers, Chen Wenzhao will not be able to spare himself if he is the first to be the same.
Now Wu Jingui is also difficult to ride a tiger, come on, not to mention the loss of soldiers, even if you win Wu Kai, it will not have much credit, but it may lose your official position and resign;
As for peace, he was the capital supervisor of Dongping Mansion with hundreds of soldiers, but he couldn't even help a rural village man - it's nothing to be embarrassed, if this matter reaches the ears of his boss and leaves the impression of a wine bag and rice bag, then his future will really be ruined!
Plus I have my own baby daughter......
For a while, Wu Jingui really regretted it, he didn't come sooner or later, why did he choose to go into the city today to replenish grain and grass? If he is not in the city, this pot will be carried by Li Datian!
The more he thought about it, the more upset he became, Wu Jingui stood up violently, kicked the public case to the ground again, and scolded: "Straight mother thief, such a troublesome bird matter, how can I just let Lao Tzu run into ......"
"Report~!"
Before he could spew out all the dirty words in his throat, a flag officer rushed in in a panic, and rushed to Wu Jingui in a few steps, kneeling down on one knee and clasping his fists in front of Wu Jingui, and said: "Lord Qiyu Metropolitan Supervisor, there are thousands of Liangshan thieves who have invaded the boundary of my Dongping Mansion, and Mrs. Chen guards the order for you to quickly lead the troops back to the city!" ”
"What?!"
Wu Jingui didn't care about any system, so he skipped the public case directly, pulled up the flag official, glared at him and shouted: "You say it again!" ”
The flag officer thought that he was worried about the safety of Fucheng, and hurriedly explained: "Don't worry, my lord, although the Liangshan thieves kept saying that they wanted to level the Fucheng, they were busy burning and looting after they went ashore, thinking that it was just a bluff, and the real purpose was to collect the Dongping Mansion thieves who were scattered by you......"
"Great! God help me, hahaha......"
Without waiting for him to finish listening, Wu Jingui burst into laughter, laughed a few times before he realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly and bluntly covered up: "Ahem~ The official is saying that the will of heaven is so, it seems that this demon Wuda can only be left to Li County Order to clean up - come on, prepare a horse for me!" The old man wants to lead the troops to pacify the Liangshan bandits! ”
As he spoke, he broke out regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, leaving Li Datian stunned, until Wu Jingui stepped out of the lobby with one foot, and he came to his senses.
Hurriedly rushed up and cried and begged: "Lord Metropolitan Eunuch, Imperial Eunuch, you must not leave!" Which demon is bloodthirsty, and tens of thousands of people in my YG County are in dire straits, how can you ...... How can you just walk away?! ”
"Phew~!"
Wu Jingui turned around and slapped him in the face, and said righteously: "The only daughter of this official is still in the hands of the demon, and you don't want to stay and save her as an official?!" But let me ask you, is Dongping Mansion important, or is your small county important? Is it a threat from thousands of thieves, or is it a big threat from just a few demons?! Get out of the way, delay the big event of rescuing Fucheng, I'll let your head fall to the ground! ”
Li Xianling was kicked away by him, although he had the heart to step forward and entangle again, but he didn't have the courage after all, so he could only snort: "That...... Then you should at least leave some soldiers and horses for the subordinates. ”
Wu Jingui glared: "There is no soldier here, but if my daughter has any mistakes, Lao Tzu promises to be with you!" ”
After speaking, he flicked the sleeves of his robe and walked away with Dong Ping.
"Phew~ Shameless old thief, don't think that if you leave, the official will have no recruitment!"
Until Wu Jingui was gone, Li Datian scolded viciously, and then called the warden Xia Gongji and explained a few words in his ear.
Xia Gongji was stunned when he heard this, and he couldn't help but remind cautiously: "My lord, it is a capital crime for the guards to abandon the city and flee......"
"Bastard! Who said I was going to abandon the city?! ”
Li Datian glared and said angrily: "Lao Tzu...... Ahem, this official will ask you, is it the threat of thousands of thieves, or is it the threat of this few demons? You really don't know the severity, can Lord Wu's instructions be wrong?! ”
Can the words of Wu Dujian be so understandable? !
Xia Gongji's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but admire it in his heart, no wonder he was a county magistrate, and he was just a pawn.
