Chapter 287: Clues
Seeing this group of men who were also lustful and ran down the city wall in a hurry, and let out strange screams one after another, showing the true nature of hooligans, Wang Shihua shook his head helplessly.
was about to follow, but saw Uncle Jiang coming over with a smile: "Family master, please wait a minute." ”
"Uncle Jiang, what's the matter?"
"Master, the more the old slave thinks about it, the more he feels that something is wrong with this."
Wang Shihua turned to look at the increasingly fierce battle below, and asked with a smile: "Tell me." ”
"Master, take a closer look below, do you see it?"
"Uncle Jiang, do you know, people say that the older you are, the younger you are, and you are referring to you." Wang Shihua quipped, saw Uncle Jiang smiled, didn't answer, had to put away his thoughts, and looked at the following seriously: There is nothing abnormal about those women who are fighting, and they are definitely not the objects that Uncle Jiang wants to observe by himself, and if he looks for it, there seems to be nothing abnormal...... Suddenly, Wang Shihua saw the scattered white glutinous baba that was trampled on all WWW.UUXS.CC over the ground, which looked a little dazzling in the lawn. After pondering it carefully, Wang Shihua was shocked, looked back at Uncle Jiang, and asked, "Uncle Jiang, what do you want me to see?" ”
Uncle Jiang nodded with a smile, then looked down, his eyes narrowed slightly, and said: "The head of the family, the people who fled the famine brought some glutinous rice cakes as food, this seems normal, but the question is, have you seen so many people, each of whom brings food to beg for food?" Besides, if you take a closer look, there are so many glutinous cakes in the scattered baggage on the ground, and some of the baggage still has brown sugar in it, which is like an escape from the famine, but like a different purpose. ”
Wang Shihua nodded and did not answer.
"At first, we all thought that they were the vanguard of the other three families who deliberately sent to consume the grain of our royal family, and only when our side was soft-hearted, they would send more people over, so we would let these women make a big fuss and give them a little color, so that they would not gain an inch. But now it seems that things are not so simple. ”
Wang Shihua frowned slightly as he watched his subordinates rush out of the city, dissuading the scene of the fight, and quickly separating the people on both sides, Wang Shihua's eyes gradually became gloomy.
"Family master, if you think, these people actually dare to besiege Lao Sicheng, then it is clear that they are here to make trouble. With so much food, it is obvious that they want to fight a protracted war with us, or rather, to make things bigger. So, what is the real purpose of doing this? Is it really for a little food? The old slave felt that the three of them would not lose their value so much. Uncle Jiang sneered: "Besides, we promised to sell them a certain amount of grain when necessary, but they haven't mentioned this to us until now, obviously not only dissatisfied with us, but have other purposes." ”
"What's the purpose?"
"This, the old slave didn't expect it, but the old slave dared to conclude that they did this just to attract our attention, and they must be secretly making bigger deployments."
Wang Shihua thought about it, but he didn't come up with a reason, but his brows furrowed even deeper.
After a short while, Wang Shihua suddenly opened his mouth and asked softly, "Uncle Jiang, do you think they are going to use these people to attract our attention while preparing to secretly attack us, rob or directly burn our grain?" ”
"I don't know, but it's possible."
After speaking, seeing the light in Wang Shihua's eyes, Uncle Jiang smiled and said, "Family master, it's not necessary to worry too much about this. As long as the food is still in our hands, it is equivalent to controlling the opportunity. As long as we guard a few granaries with great fanfare, we will make them retreat. After all, everyone knows that if the three of them really dare to jointly attack us and force us into a hurry, it will be a big deal to burn down the granary, so that they will not get a grain of grain. The old slave believed that they would not do this kind of thing until they had to do it as a last resort. ”
As long as it's not for food, it's easy to say.
"Whether it's possible or not, we have to be prepared."
Seeing that Wang Shihua's eyes dissipated, Uncle Jiang nodded and said with a smile: "Family master, although we can't guess their true purpose, the old slave has a way here to test whether they have another purpose." ”
"Oh~... Let's talk about it. ”
"Let's just say that they can't get food in Longtang Town, you can't bear to see them starve to death, give each of these people some food, and let them beg for food elsewhere." Uncle Jiang smiled like an old fox and said, "If they come back, or bring more people back, it means that they were just driven by the other three families for the stutter." But if a different group of people comes, it shows that the three of them have other purposes. ”
Uncle Jiang stroked his beard and smiled, looking like he was holding a wisdom bead, Wang Shihua smiled: "Okay... Uncle Jiang, I'll leave this matter to you. I'll go find Uncle Jing and ask him to inquire and see what the other three are doing? And then I'll talk to you. ”
"Yes..."
Wang Shihua glanced under his eyes again, turned his head and left. After finding Uncle Jing, he instructed him to quietly send someone to inquire about the other three families if they had done anything recently.
After breakfast the next day, Wang Shihua couldn't wait, so he went around the town and didn't find any homeless people...... This is normal, it will take time for those displaced people to go back, or for the other three families to send someone over after receiving the news, and they will not see the results until the afternoon at the earliest.
Finally, I stayed up until noon, but the news of the displaced people had not yet arrived, and the civil servants sent by the government had arrived.
His subordinates were all mixed with the leader, and the leader didn't give Fang Jue any good looks, and his subordinates naturally didn't have anything good to say about the civil servant. The monkey didn't even let the door in, so he asked the other party to wait in the gatehouse, and went to Wang Shihua with the letter.
Wang Shihua was practicing calligraphy in the study to adjust his mentality, and when he took the letter and read it, the content inside was very interesting: Yesterday, there was a large-scale women's brawl outside the old Si City, although there were no deaths, but hundreds of people were injured, and the county magistrate sent someone to ask about the situation.
Wang Shihua sneered, and mocked while tearing up the letter: "The affairs in my Wang family's territory are about his, and he is really lenient." Do you really think that you are the county magistrate, and you don't like to come out and jump when you have something, and you don't look at how many pounds and taels you have? If you really want to provoke Lao Tzu to catch fire, you can't clean it up? ”
When the monkey saw it, he also shouted angrily: "Master of the house, I'm going to beat that bullshit civil servant out." ”
Seeing Wang Shihua nodding slightly, the monkey turned around and left.
His feet were just about to cross the border, but he heard Wang Shihua shouting, "Wait a minute." ”
The monkey had to walk back.
After wandering around the room for a while, Wang Shihua said to the monkey: "Although we don't care about County Magistrate Fang, since the other three families have stabbed the matter to County Magistrate Fang and want to play a war of words with us, we can't lose this opportunity to publicize." In this way, I will write a reply letter, you first entertain the civil servant with good food and drink, and then give him ten yuan when he leaves, and ask him to say a few kind words when he meets the county magistrate Fang. ”
"The head of the house, is this necessary?"
Jiangyin County has been led by the four major families for hundreds of years, and the chief of each village is jointly controlled, and the people have long been accustomed to this mode of life.
"There is a need for this. If you don't understand, just do it. ”
"Yes..."
Wang Shihua wrote more than 1,000 words freely, but they were all saliva, and they were summed up in one sentence: This is the spontaneous behavior of the people, what can I do?
After dealing with this matter, Wang Shihua began to wait like a torment again, and finally simply hid in Ah Xia's room to sleep.
Under Ah Xia's gentle relief, Wang Shi slept beautifully until sunset.
Scared, he rinsed his mouth and walked straight out. As soon as I walked to the gate, I almost bumped into Uncle Tiger.
Seeing Uncle Tiger hugging himself with a solemn face, Wang Shihua smiled and said, "Uncle Tiger, what's wrong?" Let you go in such a hurry. ”
"The head of the family, the big thing hasn't happened yet, but I'm going to see it soon."
Wang Shihua was stunned, looked at him, and waited.
"In one afternoon, the town was gathered in a black press, and there was no less than a thousand. I sent someone to inquire, and they were basically from the other three families. In order to prevent them from making trouble, I hurried over to ask the master of the family for an order to transfer troops, so that I could strike first if necessary. collided with the head of the house, and asked the head of the house to punish him. ”
Although the people who chased the death such as Uncle Tiger were all loyal warriors of the family, the family system, or the iron-blooded family hierarchy, limited their authority: at most, they could only mobilize the little manpower that the family had allocated to them...... Uncle Hook and Uncle Tiger, the two representatives of the brave people, can only mobilize fifty guns at most. Unless there is an order from the head of the family, no matter what happens, if you dare to rely on your status and position to mobilize more soldiers and horses, it is trespassing, that is, challenging the bottom line of the family, committing suicide to prove loyalty, and burying the whole family alive. Of course, although this provision is dead, there are times when extrajudicial favors are given, such as amnesty by the head of the family. Otherwise, Uncle Hook would have been killed if he hadn't had Wang Shihua's amnesty last time.
"It's fine." After Wang Shihua replied casually, he asked the most critical question with a burst of blood: "How many knives and guns did they bring over?" ”
"That's not it. If they dare to come with swords and guns, they are not here to beg for food, but to attack our king's territory. The old man is desperate to die, and he must strike first, kill them all first, and then ask the head of the family for his guilt. Uncle Tiger was furious, finished with a little disdain, and said with a slight frown: "However, the head of the family, even if they come empty-handed, after all, there are one or two thousand people, and if they suddenly make trouble, it will be a big trouble, besides, this is only an afternoon, and I don't know if they will continue to send people to our side tomorrow...... He also asked the head of the house to order the transfer of troops to come over and prepare, and at the same time, let the people in the town load their guns and bullets, and secretly monitor them, and if they find any abnormal movements, they will be killed, so as not to be attacked by them. ”
Wang Shihua's brows immediately furrowed: It can make battlefield veterans like Uncle Tiger instinctively feel the severity of things, which shows how bad the development of the situation is......
