Chapter 245: Rumors

"The lowly job has a plan, since we have planted nails in their village, it would be a pity if it was only used to find out the news. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoAttacking the cottage will inevitably encounter resistance, since you don't want to see too many casualties, then let's attack at night. Monkey, just now you said that there are only two people guarding the gate at night, that's good...... This inspection allows you to meet the officers and soldiers of the government inside, here is the sweat medicine, you add some wine and food to them, and when they fall asleep, you open the door and let the officers and soldiers enter the village. In this way, we will not be able to take the cottage without a single soldier. ā€

"Good!" Wu Chun couldn't help but applaud when he heard Wu Patrol's words, "Wu Patrol's plan is really wonderful, so let's do it." ā€

"Yes!"

……

On the eve of Chinese New Year's Eve, Wu Chun was sitting in the carriage and was frozen, and he had forgotten the last time he appeared in the barren mountains and mountains late at night.

"Wang Zhutou, what time is it?"

Wang Zhutou, who was standing outside the carriage, looked at the night sky when he heard this, and whispered, "It's just past the hour."

Hearing this, Wu Chun jumped out of the carriage, and was blown by the cold wind, it was really cold. "This damn weather, let this official suffer."

"My lord, you should stay in the carriage, it's cold now, and it's very cold in the middle of the night, don't freeze you."

Wu Chun rubbed his nose, didn't he come here because he was not at ease? Now the common people are praising him as a good official, the master of the blue sky. If the news that he braved the cold tonight to personally command the soldiers outside the cottage spread, then the people of Lanxi would have even more respect for him, the county master, which would have a great effect on winning over the hearts of the people. But...... The premise of all this is that this battle must be won, otherwise it will be called a big joke.

At this time, the officers and soldiers of the Liangxiang Inspection Department had already arrived in front of the pile of rocks outside the cottage, Wu Hao looked at the two flashes of fire on the opposite side, and felt a little nervous.

"It's almost time, why hasn't there been any movement over there?" According to their agreement, as long as the torches at the gate of the cottage disappeared, it meant that the guard had been removed and they could move.

Zheng Qianjun smiled when he heard this: "Wu Patrol relax, wait a little longer."

As soon as he finished speaking, the torch on the opposite side was extinguished, seeing this, Zheng Qianjun smiled, waved his hand and said, "Brothers, follow this official to exterminate the thieves!"

Seeing him take the lead and rush out, Wu Hao swallowed his spit and followed closely with his men.

Soon the shouting sound sounded, echoing in the silent winter night, and Wu Chun, who was standing next to the carriage, turned his head to look in the direction of the cottage when he heard the sound.

"County Zun, presumably the Inspection Department has already dealt with the copycat thieves." Wang Zhutou laughed loudly.

Wu Chun nodded slightly. With a smile on their faces, it seemed that their plan was going well.

Suddenly, Wang Zhutou's face was stunned, and he pointed to the direction of the cottage and said, "County Zun, look at it." It looks like a group of people are coming towards us. ā€

"Oh? Is it someone from the Inspection Division? The battle must have ended too quickly. Wu Chun's eyes were not very good, and he didn't see the group of people opposite.

Wang Zhutou stared at the group of people, nodded and said, "That's right! It's someone from the inspection department, and he must be here to pick you up from the village. ā€

Wu Chun straightened his clothes when he heard this, the smile on his face was thick, in his opinion, this merit had been in the bag.

But when the group of people appeared in Wu Chun's sight, his face changed slightly, and his smile froze. The group of people were indeed from the Inspection Division, but the expression on their faces was not the smiling faces of the triumphant return, but the appearance of embarrassment, disheveled, discarded swords and swords.

"Wu Xianzun, we have been ambushed by thieves, they are chasing this side, hurry up and leave this place, I am afraid that our lives are in danger." Wu Hao came to Wu Chun, and before Wu Chun could recover from his surprise, he was helped into the carriage by Wu Hao and drove away.

After a few breaths, the officers and soldiers of Lanxi County fled cleanly, and a group of masked men stopped at the location where Wu Chun's original carriage was, and the man at the head waved his hand to stop everyone's footsteps, he looked at the figure in the distance, and smiled softly: "The people in the government are really a group of wine bags and rice bags, let's go back~"

……

At this time, Wu Chun in the carriage finally came to his senses, poked his head out of the curtain of the carriage, and asked, "Wu Hao!" What the hell is going on! ā€

Wu Hao, who was riding on the horse, turned his head to look behind him, but he didn't see him, so everyone stopped and came to the carriage. "Lord Qiqi, we have fallen for the trick of the thieves, and this is the ...... Embarrassed. ā€

"Medium?"

"Our original plan was for the monkeys to open the gate from the inside, but when we entered the cottage, we were surrounded by thieves, as if we knew in advance that we were going to attack at night. Luckily they are outnumbered of us, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to escape. ā€

Hearing this, Wu Chun's face was a little bad, and he snorted coldly: "You are embarrassed to say that the officers and soldiers of the Ming Inspection Division were beaten by a group of thieves and fled, and the face of this official was all lost by you!"

"The county lord is angry, this night attack was originally well planned and foolproof. In the end, the defeat was all because of the leakage of the news, and he felt that it should be because of the monkey's whistleblowing, so he should be taken down and tortured. ā€

Wang Zhutou's words successfully diverted Wu Chun's attention, and he looked at Wu Hao: "Where is that guy, take him down for me!"

"The situation was chaotic just now, and I don't know where he went."

"County Zun, it must be this guy who knows that his behavior has been exposed, so he doesn't know where to go." Wang Zhutou leaned aside and whispered.

Wu Chun turned his head to look in the direction of the cottage, feeling a little depressed. "One day, this official will step on this place!"

……

Early the next morning.

Yu Shaobai walked out of the room and saw Xiao Wu and Da Vulgar hanging red lanterns. "Zhan Xing~"

Zhan Xing, who was pasting window paper, heard the call and hurriedly stepped forward. "Childe~"

"Is there any news from Zhang Wei?"

"At dawn, Leader Zhang sent someone to announce that he had repelled the officers and soldiers of the Inspection Division led by Wu Chun."

"Oh? My father-in-law actually went in person, it seems that he really wants to get this feat......" Yu Shaobai showed a smile at the corner of his mouth, the Qingyang cottage had already been destroyed by Zhang Wei and others, and now it has already changed owners.

"Now I'm afraid the city already knows about Wu Chun's failure to suppress bandits."

Zhan Xing nodded. "The news didn't leak out of our mouths, but someone still knew about it this morning, and it spread hundreds, hundreds, thousands, and more outrageous."

"Oh? You said to hear about it......"

Zhan Xing began to talk about what he heard in the market outside, and Yu Shaobai's laughter could be heard from time to time in the courtyard.

In the Wu family's study.

The ground was a mess, and teacup fragments were everywhere. Wu Chun stood in front of the table and pointed at Wang Zhutou, his face extremely angry. "You even said that the official was scared to pee his pants! How unreasonable! Outrageous! ā€

"The county is angry, this is all gossip outside, not from subordinates."

Wu Chun gasped and punched the table, "A group of small people in the market dare to blame the reputation of this official!" Last night's incident, the official did not order anyone to talk about it, but he was afraid that once it was spread, it would become more and more outrageous. ā€

"This ...... The inspection department and the brothers of the yacha should not confide in the events of last night. I think it must have been the gang of thieves in Qingyang Cottage who did this on purpose. ā€

Hearing this, Wu Chun was slightly stunned: "Okay~ This group of thieves is really despicable!" Wang Zhutou, go to pass the two inspections, and you must win the Qingyang Cottage today! ā€

Wang Zhutou sighed in his heart when he heard this, the county lord must be confused. "My lord, the failure of the night attack last night has damaged the morale of the inspection department, and now it is really not good for us to exterminate the thieves. And have you forgotten, it's Chinese New Year's Eve today......"

Chinese New Year's Eve...?

Wu Chun patted his head, he was so angry that he forgot what day it was. It's about to be the New Year, and it's really not appropriate to see blood, and these people also have to go home for the New Year.

"That's it! Wait until the next year, and then mention the matter of suppressing bandits. Wu Chun waved his hand to let Wang Zhutou go down, and sat at the table depressed, wanting to drink tea, but he was empty.

"Maid! Serve me tea! ā€

"Dad~ Your tea is here."

Seeing Wu Zichu walking in with tea, Wu Chun's face was a little gloomy. "Why did you kid think of bringing me tea, could it be that the sun came out in the west?"

"Dad, what are you talking about, as if your son never gave you tea. Dad~ Just now you were angry about the failure of Qingyang Cottage? ā€

"What? Have you heard the gossip out there? ā€

Wu Zichu said with a smile: "Now everyone in the county is talking about Dad, and the more you listen to it, the more outrageous it becomes." But I think the defeat is real, but you were scared to pee your pants and it was a deliberate attempt to slander you. ā€

Hearing this, Wu Chun's heart was much more relaxed. "Your father and I originally wanted to exterminate the cottage before Chinese New Year's Eve and improve my prestige in Lanxi County. I didn't expect ...... Alas, everything is unpredictable......"

"Dad, it stands to reason that it is indeed right to leave the matter of exterminating the thieves to the Inspection Division, and that is their duty. However, if you let the Longquan Township and Lingquan Township Inspection Divisions go to suppress the bandits, you really look down on them. ā€

"What do you mean?"

"You used to feel that there was no hope of promotion, and you didn't pay much attention to Lanxi's affairs. Naturally, I don't know that the inspection department is a group of wine bags and rice bags, and during the tenure of Tao County Commander, he has never exterminated the thieves in the territory, so that the thieves are rampant. If you let them exterminate Qingyang Cottage, is there any reason to be undefeated? ā€

Hearing this, Wu Chun was slightly stunned, he had heard some bad rumors from the Inspection Department, but he thought it was rumors, and he couldn't believe it, so he didn't keep it in mind. Now that his son reminded him like this, Wu Chun recalled the scene last night, a group of officers and soldiers of the inspection department rushed to escape, and the weapons were all discarded, and the last statistics, except for the whereabouts of the monkey, the officers and soldiers of the inspection department of the two townships did not die a single person, and several people were injured and accidentally fell when they escaped.
