Pan Wenchang was worried about his career, anxious like an ant on a hot pot.

It's just that Jiang Qi was brought in to discuss the deployment and set up checkpoints everywhere, but it was still useless.

The masked men were elusive, and seemed to know the movements of the officers and soldiers of the Imperial Court, and they attacked everywhere, playing a game of cat and mouse with the officers and soldiers.

It's just that this rat is too cunning and slippery.

The officers and soldiers, who were originally cats, were amused and ran around, exhausted.

But I didn't even see the shadow of a mouse.

In just five days, the masked man shot more than ten times, destroyed a total of seven merchants, and killed more than 20 officials.

A prefectural commander was wounded by a bow and arrow and almost lost his life.

Pang Cheng'an's face was sad, and his face was like ashes.

Five days have passed, but there is no result in suppressing the bandits, and even if he is the biggest official in Wangsha City, he does not dare to continue to suppress and conceal at this time, and does not report it.

You must know that Lu Dao is in Wangsha County, and there is also a position of general judge.

The general judgment is only from the eighth grade, and even the grade of the county school is inferior, but it is served by officials sent from the capital.

Directly under the central government, you can directly hand over the fold to the emperor without the hands of others.

In the excerpt, he can report to the emperor the situation of all officials in the state and county, including the state and county officials, county orders, and so on.

It has the right to supervise.

In addition, in order to prevent the magistrates from exercising excessive powers, in addition to supervision, the general judgment can also adjudicate on all matters concerning soldiers and civilians, money valleys, household registration, enslavement, and prison lawsuits.

However, it must be executed with the Zhizhou Communication.

It can be seen that its power and responsibility are huge!

For example, in Wangsha City, the general judge can directly hand over an excerpt to the emperor to explain everything that happened in Wangsha City.

And what document Pang Chengan wants to issue, it must also have a seal of general judgment on it before it can take effect.

Pang Chengan naturally knew the general judge, although the general judge was a Beijing official, but when he went to the local area, if he wanted to make benefits and greedy money, he had to mingle with the local officials.

Pang Chengan had discussed with the general judge before, and temporarily suppressed the matter of the masked man's attack on the place.

Although the general judgment was agreed, the officers and soldiers were not able to encircle and suppress it, and the masked people succeeded again and again, but the matter became bigger and bigger, and even the general judgment did not dare to hide it any longer.

Otherwise, the matter here will reach the emperor's ears through other channels, and his official position will not be guaranteed.

Pang Chengan was thinking about how to write an excerpt, and at the same time, he had to think of ways to encircle and suppress the masked man as soon as possible.

I was so busy that I didn't remember until this time that my right-hand man Peng Xi had been sent to Lingtong County a few days ago.

So he immediately ordered Peng Xi to turn back and hurry back to help.

Du Wei Jiang Qi has also had a headache recently, and this day he sat in the room with Pang Chengan again to discuss, how to destroy the masked man, and suddenly, a flash of inspiration, "You said that group of masked people, is it the mysterious horse bandit in Pingluo Mountain?" ”

"Pingluo Mountain?" Pang Chengan instinctively shook his head and said: "Pingluo Mountain is not under the jurisdiction of Wangsha County, and it is still far away, so that horse bandit will not come all the way here to make trouble." ”

Obviously, Pang Chengan and Jiang Qi are both mysterious horse bandits in Pingluo Mountain.

"But how similar are the methods of these masked men to the mysterious horse bandits in Pingluo Mountain?" The more Jiang Qi thought about it, the more likely he felt.

Pang Chengan couldn't help but think carefully when he heard this.

After pondering for a long time, he felt that Jiang Qi's guess was not unreasonable.

It's just very puzzled, "We didn't offend that mysterious horse bandit, why did they run to Wangsha City to make trouble?" ”

"I heard that not long ago, the imperial court sent a large army of soldiers and horses, with more than 70,000 people, to quietly enter the Pingluo Mountain, trying to encircle and suppress the mysterious horse bandits, but they did not succeed." Jiang Qi said with a mysterious look.

More than 70,000 imperial court soldiers and horses, but they can't exterminate a horse bandit?

Pang Chengan doesn't believe it, he is a civilian official, and he is not as well-informed as Jiang Qiling about military news.

Seeing that Pang Chengan was a little unconvinced, Jiang Qi broke the news again, "Didn't there be a report from the imperial court a while ago, saying that the imperial court sent troops to encircle and suppress the four major cottages in Pingluo Mountain?" In fact, the four cottages were secretly recruited by the imperial envoys, and they wanted to help the imperial court military horses destroy the mysterious horse bandits.

So I was taken to the nest by the mysterious horse bandits......"

Pang Chengan's mouth opened wide in disbelief.

Lingtong County, in the past five days, Peng Xi has jumped up and down, pointing fingers at the affairs of the county, and finding mistakes everywhere.

Although no one listened to his fingers, it always affected the normal office order of Lingtong County.

For this reason, Jiang Long also frowned, and had a headache.

After all, the other party is a six-rank official, and the official rank is still above him, and he is bent on finding trouble, and he has no good way to deal with it.

You can't just ignore it.

Whether they are Shangguan or Pang Chengan sent them down to inspect, if you ignore them, you are disrespectful to Shangguan.

If they don't cooperate, they still have the right to be held accountable.

On this day, Peng Xi came to the county office again to stir up trouble and find faults, and his mouth was gushing.

“…… Everything is inferior, only reading is high, reading is the foundation of Daqi, Lord Jing, you have been in Lingtong County for a few months, why is the county school still so deserted, I remember the last time the huge people invited Lord Jing to Wangsha City, there was a careful explanation and instructions, we must get the county school up, and Mr. Pan, who was still a teacher at that time, was equipped with assistants......"

Jiang Long listened expressionlessly, nodding his head from time to time in response.

Peng Xi's chatter, that is, he can only bring this little trouble, and he really wants to do anything to him, but it is impossible.

But Peng Xi obviously just doesn't want Jianglong to have a good time.

I can't do anything to you, but I can disgust you every day!

Surrounding Jiang Long, like a fly.

Jiang Long really wanted to catch the fly Peng Xi, squeeze its belly and pull out its intestines, and then use its intestines to strangle his neck and pull it hard, heh! The whole tongue sticks out! And then the knife will fall!

Wow! The whole world is pure......

Peng Xi didn't know what Jiang Long was thinking, but after saying a few more words, a familiar figure hurriedly ran into the door.

This person is also a fast-shift official in the county.

Earlier, he took out the waist card and said that there was an urgent report, so the county official did not stop it, but just chased after him.

Jiang Long waved his hand at this time, and all the officials in the county retreated.

"Lord Peng, in the past few days, the county has been attacked by a group of masked people one after another, and the losses have been heavy. People don't talk nonsense, and they say bluntly.

Peng Xi was very surprised by this news, who was so bold that he dared to make trouble in Wangsha City?

Is it impatience to live?

He originally wanted to disgust Jiang Long for a few more days, but he didn't dare to delay, so he could only leave in a hurry.

When Pan Wenchang came, he took six officials, and when he returned, he only brought a new officer, and brought Pan Wenchang's family of three.

Pang Cheng'an was in a hurry, and Pan Wenchang immediately hit the horse first after leaving the city.

Pan Wenchang's family sat in a carriage and walked behind.

"Godfather said that when he arrived at the county seat, he could find the house by asking at will." Pan Enhui smiled on his little face as he spoke.

Mrs. Pan nodded with satisfaction, "Fortunately, there is a favor that Lord Peng likes to take in as a goddaughter, otherwise what would our family of three do!" ”

Pan Wenchang's face was a little unpleasant when he heard this.

He is the head of the family and the pillar of the family.

In the past, he looked down on this daughter at all, but now, the whole family has to rely on her daughter to have a place to stay.

In the future, he will also rely on his daughter to win Peng Xi's favor and arrange an errand for him.

in order to have a source of income and support the family.

Pan Wenchang clearly hurt his self-esteem.

So with an indifferent face, the nostrils snorted coldly.

Pan Enhui wanted to get a verbal appreciation from his father, but he couldn't help but shudder when he saw this, and lowered his head with gloomy eyes.

Seeing this, Pan's wife just sighed lightly.

Hold your daughter in your arms and gently stroke her silky hair.

Peng Xi left, and Jiang Long finally breathed a sigh of relief.

From the mouth of the official who passed the word, he also understood that it was the black-clothed guard who made the entire Wangsha City unpeaceful, and Pang Chengan was in a hurry, so he sent an order to let Peng Xi go back.

The black-clad guards did a favor.

Without Peng Xi's interruption, everything in Lingtong County is on the right track again.

On this day, Jiang Long met with a few scholars in the county office, although these people are not knowledgeable enough, but their character is very good, and they are not rigid, they know how to be flexible in case of things, and they do not have the arrogance in the bones of scholars, and they are more into Jianglong's eyes.

So Jiang Long wrote an excerpt and handed it over, asked several people for their lives, and conferred official positions.

One Teaching, Three Teachings.

In addition, Jiang Long also made great efforts to find people who were familiar with poetry and books, and spent money to hire a gentleman for the county school.

On the other hand, Jiang Long also asked the county government officials to post a list at the city gate and in front of the county yamen, saying that they were going to build a county school and recruit students.

Students are divided into children's classes and junior classes.

As for the children's class and the junior class, there are several classes each, depending on the number of people.

Anyone between the ages of 6 and 16 can apply.

And it doesn't restrain repairs, and I don't want half a penny.

The list was posted, and Lingtong County was boiling again, and the people were talking about it.

In Daqi, the status of scholars was significantly higher than that of peasants, craftsmen, and merchants.

All the people think that only by reading well can they get out of the land, and if there is another official and half-job in the future, then even if it is a glorious ancestor, there is green smoke on the ancestral grave.

"Did you hear that? The county school is going to recruit students, and it doesn't restrict! ”

"I don't know if it's true or not!"

"The county government has already posted the list, which is naturally true!"

"Don't say anything else, don't you still believe in Lord Jing?"

"Yes, Lord Jing is a good official!"

"Never deceived our people."

"We can eat a full stomach now, precisely because Lord Jing is here."

"Then I have to go back early and discuss with my parents whether to send my children to the county school."

"What else to discuss, don't go late and don't have any more money."

"It's also ......"

The people are looking forward to the future of their children, so the county school enrollment work has been carried out smoothly, and more than 200 school-age children have registered in just one day.

Comparatively, the number of older teenagers is scarce.

Because older teenagers can already help the family with things.

If you are lucky, you will have a wider range of channels, you can drag some relationships, and you can even find an errand to make money for your family.

In this era, marriage is early, and fifteen-year-old boys are all fathers.

The family is poor, who would want to send a child who can already earn money to the county school to study?

For this situation, after Jiang Long learned about it, he didn't care about it.
