Lu Zhixian asked, the people around me, I look at you, I looked around before and after, and found that Lord Xu Liang Xu of Jianchang County did not come to the front door at all.

Everyone was silent, and Lu Zhixian raised his head towards the head of the team and said, "You go and ask Lord Xu to come over." ”

The quarrel under the stairs continued, and Master Jiang was furious: "Luo Baiguan, what do you people want?" Gathering a crowd to besiege a county yamen in this way is already tantamount to a rebellion. The county lord is benevolent, don't care, you don't want to disperse quickly! ”

In the crowd, Luo Baiguan raised his neck and replied loudly: "Lord Jiang, Lord Lu, we are here just to ask for an explanation, the patrol battalion is going to be downsized, we should obey, but the court can't ignore our life or death." ”

Hearing this, it meant that he was afraid that the pension money was too little, and Master Jiang said in a deep voice: "Then what do you want?" Although the Tao comes, the county lord and the official will naturally consider it. ”

"It's not impossible for the court to dissolve us." Luo Baiguan said: "But the pension money has to be made up for at least three years!" Otherwise, the brothers, both old and young, will starve to death! ”

The monthly salary of the patrol battalion is around one tael of silver, and it is 36 taels per person for three years, and according to this calculation, the more than 400 people who were disbanded had to pay nearly 15,000 taels.

Master Jiang's face turned green, but before he could speak, Lu Zhixian burst out angrily: "Bold, presumptuous!" Do you know that the county yamen is a vegetable market? And still bargain? This official limits you to quit within one hour, otherwise, Liu Patrol! As soon as the time limit is up, those who still don't leave will be tied up and sent to prison! ”

"If the court doesn't meet our requirements, we just won't leave." Luo Baiguan didn't seem to be afraid of the county magistrate at all, and he said to the patrol camp man beside him: "Brothers, Lu Zhixian doesn't agree to our request, so surround it!" ”

"Fence it off!"

The crowd responded violently, and then rows of men from the patrol battalion crowded towards the gate of the yamen and pushed with the guards in charge. I don't know who made the first move, so that the guard officer was punched in the face, and the officer snorted in pain and immediately punched back.

"Oh, the servants are beating people!"

This sentence was like a drop of cold water dripping into a boiling oil nest, the crowd exploded in an instant, the soldiers of the patrol battalion immediately fought back, the officials were also red-eyed, and the two groups scuffled.

Seeing this, Master Jiang hurriedly escorted Lu Zhixian into the gate.

"Shut the door, close the door!" Master Jiang shouted anxiously.

Lu Zhixian was already mad, and yelled at the chief bookkeeper of Chongjiang: "Look at the good things you have done!" ”

"I ......" Master Jiang lowered his head and said in his belly: How can you blame me, didn't you mention the downsizing first?

Lu Zhixian finished the master of the river, and listened to the sound of fighting outside the door getting louder and louder, and there were a few miserable screams, which sounded like the voice of a certain officer, and I knew that there were more than 20 people in total, and there were three or four hundred men in the patrol battalion, and the strength was ......

"Ouch, it seems to be quite fierce outside, Lord Lu, you have to dare to come up with an idea. Otherwise, if the matter gets bigger, it won't end well. Nan Kangtong judged that he looked at Lu Zhixian with concern, but the tone of his voice was more like a mockery.

Lu Zhixian had a dark face, looked at He Tongju in embarrassment, and then looked at the officials around him, and suddenly became angry, and shouted: "What about Xu Liang? Why haven't you seen anyone yet! ”

"Here we are...... Here it comes! ”

Hearing the sound of the call, everyone looked back and saw Lord Xu Liang Xu of Jianchang County holding the corner of his official robe in one hand, trotting all the way towards Lu Zhi County.

Xu Liang arrived at Lu Zhixian, and when he saw that Lu Zhixian's face was not good, he apologized again and again: "The county is angry, angry, and the official has a stomachache and went to the toilet...... Eh" said Xu Liang looked at the closed door with a surprised face, and was surprised: "Why is this door closed?" What's going on out there? Fighting? ”

Lu Zhixian snorted coldly and said angrily: "It's not a good soldier brought out by Lord Xu!" ”

"Huh?" Xu Liang was even more surprised, looked at Master Jiang, and asked, "What's the matter, Master Jiang?" ”

Jiang Zhunan couldn't wait to smash Xu Liang's unaware face with a punch at this time, but fortunately, after half a year of training, Master Jiang also had some self-control, so he couldn't help it, and explained to Xu Liang with a cold face.

After hearing this, Xu Liang was furious, and walked towards the gate on his feet, scolding as he walked: "It's against them, and it's also attacking and besieging the county government!" Walking to the door, the probe peered out through the crack in the door, stunned, and then turned and walked back.

Lu Zhixian, Jiang Zhushu, He Tongju and Qin Dianshi all looked at him strangely when they saw this, thinking that they were waiting for you to come to the end, what are you doing when you leave and come back?

Xu Liang rubbed his hands, smiled embarrassedly, and explained to Lu Zhixian: "That...... They also mentioned the pension money? I don't know what Lord Xianzun means, the lower officials have no bottom in their hearts, and it's not easy to answer when they go out......"

Lu Zhixian's face turned even darker, and he glared at Xu Liang and said, "Three years of silver? The unseen, the unheard, this is impossible! ”

"Eh......" Xu Liang nodded, and just as he was about to say something, he heard a few hoops, and a few black dots flew in on the outer wall of the gate, smashed into the courtyard and dispersed, and a foul smell came out.

All the officials covered their noses one after another, looked at the ground, and flashed away in fright, only to see a big black lump on the ground.

"Listen, the adults inside, if you don't give an answer to the brothers, be careful to tear down the gate of the courtyard!" A rough voice shouted outside the door, but the voice was not Luo Baiguan.

Huh, huh, huh, several lumps were thrown in one after another, Lu Zhixian couldn't dodge, and a few points were stained on the clean official robe. It's bad, although Lu Zhixian thinks that he is scheming, it is limited to the court, he is the most clean, and he has never experienced this kind of rogue battle, only to see Lu Zhixian screaming, his voice was extremely sad, his hands slapped his official robe, and he ran and jumped towards the backyard of the second hall.

All the officials watched Lu Zhixian run to the backyard like a frightened rabbit, and Xu Liang shouted: "County Zun, this pension silver? ”

Lord Xu looked at it...... Ahhh......h Bastard...... Bastard! Lu Zhixian scolded while running, and flashed into the backyard in the blink of an eye.

The other officials saw that Lu Zhixian had run away, and then looked at the black dots thrown in the air from time to time, screaming and scattering.

Master Jiang was obviously frightened, but he didn't dare to go. When only he and Xu Liang were left behind the door, Master Jiang looked at Xu Liang and said, "Lord Xu, look ......?"

Xu Liang shook off his long sleeves, shook off a few sporadic stains on it, leaned on the tip of his nose and sniffed it, frowned, and turned around to push the door.

"It's so unbelievable!" He scolded.

The gate of the Jianchang County Ya slowly opened, and the men of the patrol battalion who were blocking the door were about to rush in when they saw this, and when they saw the faces of the two people who came out, they hurriedly retreated.

"Eh, what's going on?" The people in front are retreating, the people behind are still rushing forward, and those who don't know what is going on are crying out.

Xu Liang walked out of the gate of the county government step by step with a calm face, walked to the edge of the steps and stood still, glanced at the noisy scene, frowned and shouted: "What are you doing?!" ”

The crowd was silent.

"Lord Xu, you have to be the master of the little ones!" A howl came from the mouth of the squatting officer at the foot of the steps, who broke free from the soldiers of the patrol battalion who were holding him, rushed to Xu Liang's feet, raised his beaten face, and cried miserably.

Xu Liang couldn't bear to frown when he saw this brother's miserable appearance, and when he saw that there were more than a dozen servants escorted by the soldiers of the patrol battalion, he stared at the ground with his head down and counted the ants, and then his eyes were glaring, and he pointed at the soldiers of the patrol battalion who were escorted and shouted: "What are you doing?" I want to rebel! Let go! ”

When the guards of the patrol battalion heard this, they couldn't help but let go. There was a loud bang, and the poor dozen or so servants got up from the ground, used their hands and feet together, used their hands and feet, hid behind Xu Liang, and glared angrily at the soldiers of the patrol battalion.

"Lord Xu, the brothers don't want to rebel." The backbone of the trouble, Luo Baiguan saw Xu Liang come out, looked at Xu Liang with a weak heart and said: "The brothers are just angry that the pension money given by the county is too small, so they came here to ask for an explanation." ”

"Explain?" Xu Liang glared at him, pointed to the soldiers of the patrol battalion who were making trouble, and said angrily: "Can you get this bear by asking for an explanation?" Besieged the county government, beat the yacha, and threw things into the courtyard! Wild! ”

Luo Baiguan shrank his head and was silent.

Xu Liang then scolded: "Look at you now, what is the difference between the dignified patrol battalion and the ** scoundrel!" With such an act, the official was panicked! ”

Hearing this, the people of the patrol battalion, you look at me, I look at you, blushing and bowing their heads, looking ashamed and regretful.

"Listen up, all of you, line up in your own formation!"

After Xu Liang finished speaking, he saw that the soldiers who were making trouble in the patrol battalion hurriedly found their own captain, Shi Chang, and formed a queue outside the county yamen.

Taking advantage of this gap, Xu Liang said earnestly to Master Jiang, who was standing beside him: "Lord Jiang, discipline is the soul of the army. ”

Master Jiang's face turned red, and he said in a snort: "Lord Xu has taught him a lesson." ”

Xu Liang patted Master Jiang's shoulder quite understandingly, and said sincerely: "In the future, Lord Jiang will have to discipline him strictly." ”

Master Jiang's face turned even redder.

Soon, the formation of the patrol battalion was stationed. Xu Liang nodded with satisfaction and shouted: "Very good, everyone listen to the order: target patrol camp camp, run forward!" ”

Hearing this, the soldiers of the patrol battalion were stunned, hesitated and walked up, and Luo Baiguan spoke up again: "Hey, Xu ...... My lord, the county government hasn't given a reply to the brothers! ”

The troublemaker spoke up, and the others who were hesitant to act according to their orders stopped again and turned their faces to look at Xu Liang.

Xu Liang scolded: "What a reply! You bastards can really talk big, and you can tell the three-year pension! This official tells you, give you a year at most, and tomorrow Luo Baiguan will go to the county office to receive the silver! Don't think about anything else. ”

"But......" Luo Baiguan was about to speak again.

Xu Liang interrupted: "It's nothing! He said in a slow tone: "Of course, this official will naturally not ignore you who have been disbanded, and my official hereby promises that he will be able to arrange something for you all to do, and will never let you all starve to death on the streets!" ”

"Really?" As soon as the words fell, the soldiers of the patrol battalion looked excited, and someone asked out loud.

"This official never breaks his word!"

"Good!" The queue erupted in applause. When the applause faded, I saw that the queue was divided into a passage, and Huang Ziren and Ge Qiao, the deputy envoys of the patrol battalion, came in from the passage, came to Xu Liang, turned over and dismounted, and arched their hands: "Lord Xu, Lord Jiang, subordinates and others are ordered to come, please give orders from the two adults." ”

Xu Liang waved his hand, pointed to the side of Shangjiang's master book, and said, "Right now, you are patrolling and making Master Jiang here, and this official is just passing by." After speaking, he patted his buttocks and walked back to the yamen with his hands behind his back.

Huang and Ge looked at Master Jiang again.

Master Jiang was excited, waved his hand weakly and said, "You guys, bring people back!" ”

Then, under the gaze of nearly 400 soldiers of the patrol battalion, Jiang Zhushu entered the county office with heavy steps.
