In the afternoon, the rain also stopped, although the streets were a little muddy, but it could not affect the noise among the people at all, Mao County also ushered in the most lively day since the establishment of the county seat, the people of the city gathered to eat, eat and drink.

At the beginning, these flat-headed people were still a little restrained, but when they saw the big fish and big meat, their eyes were round, these good things that can only be eaten during the New Year's holidays, and now they are in front of them to let go of their appetites and eat, and they are all scrambling for fear of being taken advantage of.

In the restaurants in the city, all the cooks who can cook have been pulled, and the flowing water seats have been opened to a few streets around the county governor's mansion, and the people are happy to eat, and the crowds in the back are not so restrained, as if they are entertaining guests.

This is a bitter thing for the gentry in the city, and the cattle and sheep are all produced by them, and they have paid a lot of money. But they can accept just eating such a little thing, and I'm afraid that these vampires will have to eat and take it with them.

"Huo Dang's family, still don't invite all the brothers to the table?"

The older gentry didn't move when they saw Huo Yi and the mountain bandits, but just watched the people eat. The gentry were a little nervous, but they were afraid that these mountain bandits would let the people eat severed heads.

"Call the commander." Huo Yi was very dissatisfied.

"Yes, Commander Huo, why...... Brothers don't sit at the table? ”

Huo Yiyi said righteously: "Our commander has an order, no one is allowed to disturb the people, you gentry are not the people?" So, uh-huh, we only eat the dry food we brought. ”

The gentry looked at each other in astonishment, and looked at each other, for they had never heard of the bandits entering the city, and instead of committing adultery and plundering, they invited the people to dinner. Although it was they who were the gentry.

"How much money did it cost?" Huo asked suddenly.

The older gentry respectfully said, "It doesn't cost much silver." As long as you are satisfied, Commander. The people ate happily. ”

"How can I make you break the bank. There are several boxes of gold, silver and jewels inside, which seem to have been obtained by the bastard county lieutenant whose original surname was Sun, and you deducted a little of it as the cost of this meal, and the rest was distributed among the people. ”

The gentry who heard these words were in an uproar, these mountain bandits wouldn't be just joking, right? They know what kind of person Sun Yi used to be, Sun Yi must have accumulated a lot of wealth over the years, after seeing the big boxes and small boxes carried out by those mountain bandits. This speculation was confirmed. So much gold, silver and jewelry, and these mountain bandits are not moved to distribute them all to the people?

This is a big deal, if these mountain bandits just talk, the gentry who came to receive these mountain bandits on behalf of Mao County can say, at most compliment a few words, let them take it, and then take a little later, the matter will be successfully resolved. But now that people don't want money, do they want to attract a group of people to the mountains to be robbers? The mountain bandits who are important people cannot be provoked the most.

"Please take back the order of Commander Huo. These are all government money, how dare the people accept it. ”

"Why don't you dare to accept it. Lao Tzu is still from the government. Huo Yi was excited, and almost exposed his identity, but fortunately, Lian Yusheng helped him and pulled his clothes, Huo Yi remembered Liu Yu's entrustment, and said, "It's okay, isn't it just a few boxes of silver?" Life does not bring death and does not bring it, our commander is not rare for this kind of thing. ”

The older gentry asked with a bitter face, "What about ...... What does the Commander need? Woman, or brother? ”

"Woman, brother?" Huo Yi thought for a while, "What does the commander want, how does Lao Tzu know the Dao?" Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and let the people finish eating, divide the things, and we can leave! ”

The older gentry was still not at ease, and asked again: "Then Commander Huo, before you leave, don't you do something?" Or...... What is there to take away, you speak. ”

"I said old fellow, do you think it's not fun for Lao Tzu not to rob you of something? Tell you, that is, the commander has an order, and Lao Tzu is not allowed to bully you, on weekdays, Lao Tzu hates you arrogant and domineering old men the most, and I was bullied by you before......"

Huo Yi remembered the white eyes he suffered when he was a gangster, and the person became hideous, with his teeth and claws, Lian Husheng hurriedly pulled him, stepped forward and said very politely: "Except for this old man, don't worry, we are just going to the city this time, except for burning the grain in the city, we will not take anything else, and we will not commit any crime to the people!" ”

Na Huo had a ruffian aura on his body, and he spoke very impulsively, which made these gentry very uneasy, but when he heard this Wen Zou Zou politely say it, the big stone in his heart immediately fell.

The older gentry immediately greeted the people and quieted them down, and after a while, the people remembered that it was a group of murderous mountain bandits who had been invited today, and they looked at the direction of the county governor's mansion, and they didn't dare to breathe.

"Folks, these two ...... It is the two masters, called the army commander, they not only invited the people to come over for a banquet, but also distributed the money of Captain Sun to the people, and they did not thank these heroes! ”

The people whispered to each other one by one, and they couldn't understand why these mountain bandits were so polite. A few of the people in the front thanked him twice, and there was no movement in the back.

"When he had finished eating, he came forward to receive the money, and he who had finished receiving it put a handprint. Eat first, people. Huo Yi didn't know what to say, so he waved to the people with a smile and said.

The people were still frightened, Huo Yi looked at the older gentry with some puzzlement, and the old gentry said: "This Huo Junjun, you don't know what to do, after you leave, when County Lieutenant Sun comes back, he will definitely double the silver and take it back." ”

"Who said we were going to let go of the guy surnamed Sun? The greedy man surnamed Sun, if it weren't for the commander's stipulation that he couldn't kill the prisoners who surrendered, Lao Tzu would have killed him first! Huo said with a wave of his fist.

"Then the imperial court sent other officials, it's still the same."

"This ......" Huo Yi was a little embarrassed, and immediately said with relief, "The commander also has an explanation, if you are afraid of King Jing's revenge, you can be autonomous, guard the city and have the final say, and the people will vote on major matters...... That's what it means. ”

The gentry were once again horrified, they had never heard of such a county town, and they dared to break away from the imperial court and play "autonomy" on their own.

"Don't worry, the imperial court will come to take over the county seat in the future, and maybe Lao Tzu will come to visit you at that time." Choleria disease is most supplemented after the disease.

The gentry did not dare to speak more, these mountain bandits were not only strong, but also eclectic in their words and actions, and said many things that they did not dare to think. But since this commander Huo had an order to distribute money, these gentry did not dare to be disobedient, so they had to count the money and prepare to distribute it according to the household registration register of Mao County.

And then, the mountain bandits really fulfilled their promise, did not enter the table, and did not disturb the people, but only in the county governor's mansion, took out dry food and began to eat. In the face of such a group of well-disciplined mountain bandits, the gentry had a lot to say, but now they don't dare to say it.

"Commander, commander, oh no, we caught a spy and found a letter from him!"

One of the guards handed over a paper envelope.

Huo Yi looked at it, but there was not a single word on it that he recognized, so he quickly called Lian Husheng and asked him to read it.

"It says that King Huai sent 5,000 cavalry to help transport grain and suppress bandits, and let the surrounding counties and counties assist. Calculate the time, and you will pass by Mao County about tomorrow. ”

Huo Yi smiled and said: "It's good to come, it's good to come, I'm worried about the opponent who has no comparison, and now there will be someone sent to the door." ”

Lian Husheng was shocked: "Commander Huo, you don't plan to let our two route armies fight against five thousand regular cavalry, right?" Is it necessary to inform the commander in advance? ”

"The commander is hundreds of miles away from us, how can we have time. Go and give orders to let the people outside the city escort those captives into the city, and we will play with them in the county, and we don't believe that we can't beat them! Huo said expectantly. (To be continued......)
