Chapter 80: The Siege
Things are really as Hao Jian said, although the thieves are stupid~stupid~wanting~ to move when they look at the open city gate, they still don't move after all.
It's not that they don't move, it's that they don't dare to move.
Zhou Tai also has the ** to be the emperor, but he knows that if he really enters this Qingxi County, he will really be finished. Especially when Zhou Tai saw the figures floating on the city wall, he also knew whether it was an ambush or something.
If it is really an ambush, then as long as one foot into it is basically equivalent to announcing one's death sentence, the soldier has always sought tricks, good use of tricks, especially Hao Jian, who likes not to play cards according to common sense, if it is planted in his hands, it will really be over.
First, he was afraid of being labeled as a rebel, and secondly, he was worried that there was an ambush inside, so Zhou Tai still looked at the few people around him and shook his head: "Now the situation is unknown, if you rush in, I am afraid that there will only be one death!" ”
In fact, many people also saw the shadows flowing upstairs in Qingxi County, and they also thought that there was an ambush inside.
So all the bandits could only look at the city gates, although they had weapons in their hands.
The bandits are very aggrieved, but what can they do now? When you enter the city, if there is an ambush inside, you will have to take off a layer of skin if you don't die. The most terrible thing is that Hao Jian doesn't know where he has gone at this time, if it is still established, then there must be an ambush, if it is not in Qingxi County, it is an empty city, not only will he get nothing, but he will probably attract the attention of many imperial courts immediately, and at that time it will not be a simple bandit.
The reason why the bandits dare to besiege the city but not to attack the city is because the imperial court has defined it, as long as you don't violate the bottom line, you are a bandit, and if you touch the bottom line, you are a chaotic army. Although they are all to be surrounded and suppressed by the imperial court, the thieves can be recruited by the imperial court, and the rebel army will be scraped a layer of skin if they are caught~ if they don't die.
This is also the bottom line of the bandits, although the bandits are also people who live with their heads around their necks, but after all, they are from a bitter background, and they are forced to go up the mountain and fall into the grass, and they will naturally not give up if they can clear their own hands.
So in essence, the bandits are reluctant to attack the city and are very professional.
"Call a few brothers to take a look!"
However, Zhou Tai was still worried about the suspicion of empty city plans, frowned and called a few leaders who accompanied him, and said with a heavy face.
Soon, a few young people with slippery heads walked boldly towards Qingxi County, these people walked a few steps and stopped to observe the scene in front of them, and after confirming that they were okay, they could still escape, and then walked a few steps forward again, and so on several times before arriving at the city gate.
After trying to poke their heads a few times at the city gate, several people still didn't dare to enter the city gate, but at this time, the people of Qingxi County moved, and they walked towards the group of thieves with enthusiastic smiles, and smiled: "Come, come in quickly, come in quickly!" ”
While talking, he also moved his hands and feet to prepare to pull this group of bandits over, but this group of bandits was too nervous, but after seeing this group of enthusiastic people, they panicked for a while, and ran outside without thinking: "Big brother, there is an ambush, there is an ambush!" ”
Hearing this shout, Zhou Tai and the other mountain bandits were very frightened, and immediately retreated, and only stopped after maintaining a considerable distance from the county seat of Qingxi County.
In fact, this is not to blame the bandits, after all, wherever they go, they either have resentful eyes or fearful expressions, and now that so many people welcome themselves all at once, of course they can't accept it, and they don't need to think about it to know that there is a conspiracy here.
The bandits retreated seven or eight miles like this, and Qingxi County was temporarily safe.
Seeing this, Hao Jian naturally ordered the city gate to be closed, and then left after a few words to the officials guarding the city.
It is impossible for the bandits to continue to attack in a short period of time, so Hao Jian is also quite relieved.
After all, Zhou Tai was born in a soldier's family, and he also knows the truth of one blow, then decline, and three exhaustions. So they won't go on the offensive anytime soon.
"What about Li Xin?"
Hao Jian frowned and counted the people around him, but he didn't find the figure of Li Xin, the county leader, so he asked a few people around him.
At that time, Hao Jian was just busy dealing with the bandits, but he forgot that there were Li Xin and others around him, but when he remembered it, he found that Li Xin was no longer around.
"Brother Jian'er, then Li Xin seems to have returned to the county office, and Chang Wei is also by his side."
At this time, Mao Zi came out and said to Hao Jian.
"Let's go, bring people, let's go back to the county office to have a look!"
Hao Jian frowned, and immediately felt that something was wrong, so he took Zhao Guangyi and the others to rush towards the direction of the Yamen in Qingxi County.
In the prefectural government.
Li Xin and a group of officials were busy going in and out, and a clerk looked at the large stack of documents in front of him and frowned: "Lord Li, how should these documents be destroyed when there are so many documents?" ”
Chang Wei looked at the documents in front of him, almost every volume recorded the corruption of their corrupt empire: "Directly a fire, together with the burning of the house, as long as it is said that the water has become better in the future, and now the war is in chaos, what are you afraid of?" ”
"Don't talk nonsense, it's impossible for the bandits to enter the city for a while, let's honestly destroy these things on the spot, don't let that Hao Jian grab our handle!"
Li Xinchang sighed, judging from Hao Jian's performance today, his previous evaluation of Hao Jian was completely wrong.
Hao Jian is not as simple as he thinks, but a person who has a relatively good city government and is difficult to deal with.
Therefore, Li Xin had no way, even if he made a decision and handed over power, he quickly began to destroy his criminal evidence, at least delaying the time for Hao Jian to discover these secrets, so that he could have time to maneuver.
"But there are so many of these things, it's too cumbersome to deal with!"
A canon's history also stood up, still a little worried.
