Chapter Eighty-Eight: First Arrival in Leping
readx;?“ Finally arrived in the territory of Leping, Da Zhuang, go directly to Leping County! ”
"It's the young master!"
After half a month of tacit understanding, Song Zhuang finally opened his mouth and wanted to follow Wu Tian, Wu Tian didn't say anything, just let Song Zhuang lead the donkey in front and acquiesce in his behavior!
Song Zhuang has cultivated since he was a child, plus he has a certain talent, and he also has the cultivation of a grandmaster, and when he reaches the grandmaster, it is a hurdle, and many people in the main world are stuck at this level, and if they want to break through, they have to look at their own comprehension!
Wu Tian is now in short supply, even if he is a grandmaster, he is not bad, he can share some of the pressure for him, at least there are many things that he doesn't have to do in person. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

There were few people along the way, and it was slightly better to enter the city, but the big families in the city had already fled with their families, and the rest were some ordinary people, reluctant to leave their homes, but they were all panicked, and they didn't know when the Yellow Turban Rebellion would spread here!
Not everyone believes in the Taiping Dao, and it is also impossible for Zhang Jiao to personally go to every small place to promote it, so it is clear that this is also the reason why the Yellow Turban Rebellion did not break out here.
"Young master, it's time to the county office!"
"Hmm!"
Wu Tian got off the donkey and looked at the county government, the gate was closed, and the yamen was deserted, Wu Tian didn't have to think about it to guess that he would go with the county order, and the others would not be much better, and the entire Leping County should be in a state of no control!
"Da Zhuang, go see if the gate is closed!!"
"Squeak!"
Song Zhuang directly stepped forward and pushed it, and then the door slowly moved back!
"Who are you? This is the county office, don't get close to the idlers! An old voice sounded behind Wu Tian.
Wu Tian turned his head and saw that an old man with a white beard appeared behind him, holding a cane in his hand, glaring at them angrily!
"I'm the new county lieutenant Wu Tian, this is my entourage, called Song Zhuang, I don't know who the old man is?" Wu Tian said kindly.
The old man was stunned for a moment, Wu Tian secretly guessed in his heart that he didn't expect the imperial court to send people, and the old man seemed to find that his previous behavior was a little out of shape and stammered.
"Wu... County Lieutenant ,.. The little old man is called Gao. Yuan, who was only the gatekeeper who guarded the yamen before! “
"Elder Gao doesn't have to be nervous, my Wutian trip is just to protect the territory and the people! Just tell me about some of the situation in Leping today! Wu Tian chuckled, dispelling the tension around him.
Gao Yuan also calmed down, and said secretly in his heart: It seems that this Wu County Lieutenant has real skills, and he is also very easy-going and easy to get along with.
"I can't be called the county lieutenant, not long ago, the yellow scarf was forced in, and the original county magistrate and others packed up and left overnight, and then the people in the county government also left one after another, leaving only Xiao Lao'er alone!"
Wu Tian could hear the deep disdain in Gao Yuan's tone, and flying separately when the catastrophe was about was undoubtedly this kind of person, but the smile on his face remained unchanged, and he motioned for Gao Yuan to continue.
"Now that the county government has died in name, there is no property in it, and there is one more thing that the county lieutenant may have to solve as soon as possible, many prisoners in the prison have not eaten for a few days, and they still don't know the situation outside, but there will be a riot soon!"
In this world, because of the abundant aura, all of them have a physique beyond ordinary people, and they can still live without food for ten days and half a month, but there is no guarantee for the future.
"Da Zhuang, you go to the street to buy some steamed buns and send them to that group of prisoners, it's not good if there is a riot just after you come!" After Gao Yuan's voice fell, Wu Tian said directly.
"Okay, young master, I'll go right away!"
"Elder Gao, let's go inside and sit down first!" Wu Tian had already anticipated this situation, and he didn't show too much surprise!
"Everything is under the orders of Captain Wuxian!"
Gao Yuan's wrinkled face seemed to glow red, which big official had treated him like this before, and even the officials didn't even look at him!
Wu Tian was also secretly helpless when he saw this scene, in this world. Strength is supreme, but mutual respect is still needed, because maybe everyone will give you a different surprise!
..........
After sending Gao Yuan away, Wu Tian also had a preliminary understanding of Leping County, and Wu Tian had also made some preparations before, at least temporarily able to settle down in Lepingan!
For example, some money, Wu Tian didn't bring anything more when he left Datang, but he just carried a few exquisite jade pendants on his body, and he also pawned them together for three hundred gold when he was in Luoyang!
It's not enough to take this money to buy officials, but it's really more than enough to pull up a team for the time being, not to mention that as the county can operate well and collect some taxes, it can also maintain the usual expenses of the county!
"Young master, I have already sent some steamed buns and water to the prisoners as you ordered!" A voice came, Song Zhuang had already returned to the county office, and the general prison was next to the county office, and Leping County was naturally no exception!
"What happened to the prisoner?" Wu Tian looked at some of Leping's registered population in his hand and asked.
"Most of the prisoners haven't changed, and they don't have any doubts about why I sent the food, but I found one person I couldn't see through because I was very impressed with him!" Song Zhuang heard Wu Tian ask and slowly recalled.
"Oh! Can't even you see through it? ”
Wu Tian was stunned in his hand, and there was a trace of interest, how can he say that Song Zhuang is also a grandmaster master, and he can't see through it, this is a bit interesting!
It seems that we have to take a look at the files of these prisoners first, Wu Tian secretly thought, after all, some prisoners may not be as vicious as they imagined, but have a reason. For these people, Wu Tian can still make a little use of them, after all, he must have killed people and his own strength is not bad.
"Song Zhuang, you go and post this notice at the gate of the city first!"
"Yes, young master!"
Song Zhuang took the notice and turned around and went to the city gate as instructed!
..............
"Uncle, could it be that the imperial court sent someone, what is written on it!"
"That's right, uncle, read it to us!"
"Which other official dares to come to our Leping now!"
"yes!"
As soon as the notice was posted, it was crowded with people, but most of these people were illiterate, so they had to invite an elderly man.
"Okay, don't make any noise, the old man will miss you!" The uncle looked at the noisy crowd, raised his voice a little, and the surroundings immediately quieted down, obviously this old man has a lot of prestige in Leping County!
"This is a notice issued by the new lieutenant of Wu County, which says that new soldiers will be selected in the county office at noon tomorrow, as long as they are selected, one person will be given one or two settlement allowances first, among which those who are in good health are preferred!"
The uncle's words have fallen, and the surrounding crowd has exploded.
"What, one or two, I'm going to let my son try it!"
"Who knows how many people Captain Wu will recruit!"
"You must sign up, you don't have to worry about eating now!"
