Chapter 43: Covert Deployment
The two women played around for a while.
The woman in white was giggled by Zhen Xiao, her cheeks flushed and she said, "Sister spare my life, Mi'er knows it's wrong!" ”
"How dare you?" The little hand was placed under her armpit, and Zhen Xiao also asked with a little blushing.
"Don't dare! Don't dare! Zhen Mi waved her little hand, and because of the trouble, her breath became heavier.
Sitting by the pond, Zhen Mi's chest fell together, and it gradually calmed down after a while.
"A few days ago, I heard that the new county lieutenant will be Shang Cai, and when I heard my sister say it, I think he is an interesting person."
Panting evenly, Zhen Mi smiled sweetly and said to Zhen Xiao: "Father asked my sister to go, it should be an intentional marriage!" ”
"If my father really wants to, I'd rather die than obey!" Zhen Xiao sat down next to Zhen Mi by the pond.
"Why? I heard that the new county lieutenant is the heir of the Yuan family. ”
"Just a concubine, how can I be worthy of you and my sister?"
smiled slightly, revealing two shallow pear vortices, Zhen Mi didn't say anything more.
Zhen Xiao, regardless of talent or appearance, is one out of ten thousand, but he is a little more powerful.
I really want to say that they are just county girls, but the Yuan family is the fourth and third dukes, and it is already Gao Pan to match a concubine of the Yuan family, but Zhen Mi still didn't say it in the end.
After all, it's her sister, so it's better not to say some things!
After Zhen Xiao's performance, Yuan Xu agreed to Dong He to move to his house.
During the banquet, Zhen Yi and the others talked to him a lot more casually.
"The thief here is the Yellow Turban remnants." Speaking of thieves, Dong He gritted his teeth with hatred: "They burn, kill, loot and do all kinds of evil!" ”
Yuan Xu felt a little funny.
When I came to Shangcai, I didn't see any villages that had been looted by thieves along the way, and even Shangcai City was not attacked!
Burn and loot, I don't know where it started!
If you want to talk about looting, at most it is just robbing some private goods transported by officials and merchants!
The thieves of Xiaoju are very purposeful and targeted.
But it's not like Dong He said, burning, killing, looting and doing all kinds of evil!
"What is the name of the leader of the thieves, can you find out?" The root cause still needs to be investigated in depth, and what Yuan Xu is most concerned about at present is the specific information about the other party.
Zhen Yi and the others looked at each other and shook their heads.
Yuan Xu couldn't help but feel funny.
As an official and a rich gentleman, he was robbed, and he didn't even know who did it!
"It's weird!" Unable to answer Yuan Xu's question, Xu Jigong diverted the topic and said: "The thief seems to have gotten the news, and he is afraid of the county lieutenant Wuwei, and there has been no movement since a few days ago!" ”
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and Yuan Xu didn't speak again.
There is no information about the other party, and the movements in the city, maybe the so-called thieves have a thorough grasp!
Suppressing or not suppressing is still two words, even if you go to suppress, with the existing intelligence and manpower, it is just to send you to death!
Yuan Xu talked to Zhen Yi and the others, and Xiao Zhu only cared about eating with his head bored, and didn't even look at them.
"It's better if the thief doesn't come!" Afraid that the sycophants were all slapped by Xu Jigong, Dong He said: "With the county lieutenant in charge, they should not dare to come and make trouble......
"What is a county lieutenant!" Interrupting him, Yuan Xu said: "If they are really afraid of the county lieutenants, they will not do anything to Shang Cai!" ”
"Alas!" Xu Jigong sighed, and said in a friendly manner: "What the county lieutenant said is true! Gong Cao Chen Ju's house was looted by thieves, and Xiao Ke's brother-in-law led the troops to arrest him, but he was killed by them! ”
"Brother-in-law Xu Ting, ......?" Looking at Xu Jigong, Yuan Xu asked casually.
"Back to the county lieutenant, Xiao Ke's brother-in-law is the former county lieutenant!"
Yuan Xu nodded and said to Xu Jigong: "Pavilion Chief Xu can rest assured, a certain person came to Cai only to suppress thieves." The head of a thief will be sacrificed to the souls of the dead! ”
"Thank you, County Lieutenant!" Xu Jigong hurriedly got up and made a big salute to Yuan Xu.
During the banquet, Dong He and Xu Jigong were guilty of thieves, but Zhen Yi didn't talk much.
Unknowingly, in the afternoon, Yuan Xu said goodbye to Zhen Yi and the others.
Back at the official mansion, Seven Dogs ran head-on.
"The county lieutenant salutes and has been loaded!" After bowing his hand, the seven dogs asked with a smile: "The villain's inventory has been completed, can the county lieutenant order something?" ”
"Why did you load a salute into a car?" Looking at the seven dogs, Yuan Xu was a little puzzled.
"Now in Shangcai City, the old woman who sells sweet potatoes knows that the county lieutenant is going to move to Dong He's house, is there no such thing?" Yuan Xu's reaction surprised Qigou.
Although he agreed to Dong He to move to his mansion, Yuan Xu didn't expect things to come so quickly.
He didn't expect that what he said during the banquet could spread all over the city in an instant!
Dong He did not arrange for people to prepare at that time, and it seemed that they had already made arrangements before Yuan Xu agreed.
Spreading the news is nothing more than trying to tell the people in the county that the new county lieutenant is on the same path as them!
Before Yuan Xu could give orders to the Seven Dogs, four guards ran in from outside.
"Childe, there is a lot of scolding on the street!" One of the guards leaned into his ear and whispered, "Some people speak ill of him, if it weren't for ......."
"What if not?" Glaring at the guard, Yuan Xu said, "Go back to the house and talk!" ”
The guards answered, and followed him to his lodgings.
Qigou hurriedly said: "County Lieutenant, ...... things to pack."
"Someone from the Dong family is here, let them bring it first!" didn't turn his head back, Yuan Xu threw down a sentence.
Back in the room, he let Xiao Zhu play alone in the outside room, and entered the inner room with the guards.
"During today's banquet, Zhen Yi deliberately wooed him!" The guards sat down in the house, and Yuan Xu lowered his voice and said: "The people are insulting, just because the local officials and the rich gentry colluded to exploit it very much, don't pay attention to it, let them scold it." ”
Yuan Xu's voice was not loud, but he could hear some outside.
Playing with a tea cup stupidly, Xiao Zhu didn't pay attention to what he was saying.
"There are some urgent things that you have to wait to do." The voice was lowered, and Yuan Xu said to the guards: "Find out where the thieves gathered, what is the name of the leader, and how many evil things have been done in the past." ”
"No!" The four guards responded.
"One more thing!" After saying these words, Yuan Xu's voice was lowered.
Xiao Zhu, who was playing outside, couldn't hear what he was saying, and if someone eavesdropped outside the wall, it was impossible to hear a single word.
"Xiao Zhu, you come in!" After a while, the guards left one after another, and Yuan Xu greeted Xiao Zhu.
Putting down the teacup, Xiao Zhu ran into the house.
Helping him straighten out his somewhat messy collar, Yuan Xu smiled and said, "When you buy clothes, you can't get used to the faces of the servants of the Zhen family?" ”
Looking at him, Xiao Zhu nodded heavily.
"Are you Miss Zhen who likes to play the piano?"
Xiao Zhu still nodded.
"Evil servants and dogs will be punished sooner or later!" patted him on the shoulder, Yuan Xu said: "Miss Zhen is a lady of the county government, just take a look, don't worry!" ”
Scratching his head, Xiao Zhu looked at Yuan Xu with a blank face.
