Chapter 43 Officers and Soldiers

Dugu Feng was thinking wildly, and was suddenly interrupted by a noise, Dugu Feng couldn't help frowning slightly, and listened attentively, but there was a sound of horse hooves trampling, which faintly came with the sound of shouting. Other people didn't have such good hearing as Dugu Feng, they all wondered why Dugu Feng frowned, Duan Yucheng also suddenly became nervous, and thought that he was not thoughtful somewhere, which made the master unhappy, and Duan Wenxing on the side also had a heartbeat, and the same idea as Duan Yucheng rose.

Duan Wenxing was about to speak, but suddenly saw a person stumbling over at the door, shouting as he ran: "Owner of the village, owner of the village, it's not good......"

Duan Wenxing couldn't help but be furious, because Dugufeng didn't like to be lively, he had already instructed others not to come over to disturb him if he had nothing to do, but he didn't expect that there would still be people who didn't have long eyes to come and disturb. glanced at Dugu Feng carefully, and saw Dugu Feng's frowning slightly, and couldn't help but feel nervous. Hurriedly shouted angrily at the person who rushed in: "What are you shouting, is the sky falling?" ”

The person who came in was out of breath, and he didn't care about the angry appearance of the owner of the village, and said breathlessly: "The village, the owner of the village, it's not good, a team of officers and soldiers came outside, saying that we were harboring thieves and wanted to enter the village to search." ”

"Ahh Duan Wenxing was shocked when he heard this, as the so-called thief is like washing, and the official is like a comb. In this era, the reputation of the officers and soldiers is not much better than that of the thieves. Hearing that the officers and soldiers came to the door, Duan Wenxing was also taken aback, and suddenly didn't care about Dugufeng's presence, "Huo" stood up and asked, "How many officers and soldiers are there, and who is leading the team?" ”

The messenger said: "There is only a group of officers and soldiers, about a hundred or so, all of them are cavalry, and the leader is a captain. ”

Duan Wenxing breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, there were only about a hundred people, it was not serious, most of them were here to demand the payment of money and food. The wealth of Duanjiazhai is very famous in the nearby ten miles and eight townships. Since the turmoil in the world, many bandits have paid attention to Duanjiazhai, but with nearly a thousand sons and daughters of Duanjiazhai, they have repelled the invasion of thieves many times. However, although Duanjiazhai is not afraid of thieves, he is very afraid of officers and soldiers.

Since the rebellion in various parts of Yuhang, Wang Shichong, the commander of Jiangdu, is also recruiting troops and horses on a large scale, expanding the official army, and the officials and soldiers are not enough to pay enough food, so they are looking for large households everywhere in the place to apportion, and if they do not comply, they will suppress it in the name of colluding with bandits, which is called apportionment, but it is actually plunder. The wealth of Duanjiazhai is as attractive as a piece of fat meat exuded by the aroma for these officials and soldiers.

Duan Wenxing said to Dugu Feng with a sad face: "Miss Dugu, this ......"

Dugu Feng had already heard the reason from the noisy sound in the distance, and was very unhappy that these uninvited guests disturbed her apprenticeship ceremony, and stood up and said: "Since I have accepted Yu as an apprentice, the Duan family has something to do, so naturally I will not sit idly by, let's go, I'll go out with you to have a look." ”

Duan Wenxing was overjoyed when he heard this, and Lian Lian arched his hand and said, "Thank you Miss Dugu, thank you Miss Dugu for your help." "If it weren't for Dugufeng's help, they would have to bleed heavily this time. However, since Dugu Feng came forward, with the face of the Dugu family, a small captain still did not dare to provoke.

The group walked to the gate of the village, and happened to see the two teams of people in front of the village confronting each other. On one side, there were all big men in cyan suits, three or four hundred people, all with weapons in their hands. On the other side, there were more than 100 Sui soldiers, although the number was only one-third of the Han, but everyone rode horses, their clothes and armor were bright, and they were full of momentum, and they confronted hundreds of people, and they did not fall behind, obviously a group of elite cavalry.

Everyone walked over, and heard a cavalry shouting from a distance: "Our garrison under the command of the king of Jiangdu is ordered to pursue and suppress the rebels, do you untouchables dare to obstruct and want to rebel?" ”

The men gathered together were excited, but they were taken by the authority of the government, and they dared not speak out.

Duan Wenxing hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The general is angry." ”

The shouting cavalry saw Duan Wenxing, squinted at Duan Wenxing, and said, "You are the owner of this village?" ”

Duan Wenxing arched his hand and said: "In the next section of Wenxing, he is the owner of Duanjiazhai." This military master clearly sees that my Duan family has been a good citizen for generations, and there is no one who has committed adultery, let alone a person who has committed rebellion. ”

The cavalryman was furious when he heard this, and shouted: "Fart, you Duan Jiazhai is so bold, when you see us coming, not only did you not open the door to greet us, but you actually gathered a crowd to make trouble and besiege us, did you eat the courage of the ambitious leopard and want to rebel?" ”

Duan Wenxing hurriedly said: "Master Jun is angry, there must be a misunderstanding in this." ”
