Chapter 181: Taoxi County Order

"Wait—this official is the county magistrate of Taoxi County, and the people and horses in that place of yours dare to commit murder with weapons in my Taoxi County? And is there a royal law - fence off all the officials! Not allowed to let one go, Qin Duwei immediately went to Lujiang County to report for help, saying that a yellow turban thief had been found here! "This time the officials of Taoxi County came really fast, Zhou Yu visited his grandfather and parents this time and then went north to Luoyang, and Gan Ning was to help move Zhou Yu's family to Yangzhou, they brought a total of about 300 people and horses, along the way as soon as they received a report from the water ghost team, Zhou Yu and they rushed to Qingfeng Temple non-stop, inside and outside surrounded by water, just when the Taoist priest who went out to do business saw that the Taoist Temple was surrounded, he hurried to Taoxi County to report to the official.

Although Shen Guo, the county magistrate of Taoxi County, is a county official, he also reads a lot, and was recommended by the township to be a county official. This person did not have a son and a half daughter for three years after marrying a wife, there is no way not to be filial piety and have three no queens, he immediately accepted two concubines in order to continue the incense, but I don't know if he did something immoral in his previous life or no faith. Day by day, he was a county official who didn't have much energy, and then his wife and concubines made an appointment to go to Qingfeng Temple to make a wish for a child, Shen Guo didn't believe in this too much, but just three months later, his wife and concubines successively spread the good news, this was like a big surprise Shen Guo was stuffy, and after his three wives gave birth to two sons and a daughter respectively, Shen Guo, who was full of wrinkles in his forties, couldn't help but smile more. The three ladies often go to Qingfeng Temple together to stay for a few days, which is regarded as repaying their vows in front of the gods. Anyway, Shen Guo now has children and daughters, so he threw all the money he got into Qingfeng Guan, as long as the matter of Qingfeng Guan, he Shen Guo is duty-bound. As soon as he heard that someone was besieging Qingfeng Temple, he immediately mobilized the officials and some family members in the county who were less than 300 people, and galloped all the way to Qingfeng Temple to rescue.

To be honest, this is also a bit strange Zhou Yu, now the Yellow Turban Army on the boundary of Yuzhou is only raging in Nanyang, and has not yet invaded Lujiang County, this place is still the world of the Han Dynasty, and the local people still follow the sunrise and sunset. Zhou Yu had some swagger when he was in Peach Blossom Village, he thought that the people of Peach Blossom Village would definitely pass the news of their arrival to the county magistrate of Taoxi County, so he would keep a low profile and let all the soldiers under him change into civilian clothes, all the weapons they brought were short blades and some bows and arrows, and a few carts were some tents, food and other baggage for daily needs.

But things are so coincidental, Li Jin, the village head of Peach Blossom Village, saw that Luo Song was beaten so badly, and thought about what to do in the future, whether Qingfeng Guan would find trouble for himself or ask for any compensation, and he didn't take Zhou Yu's arrival in Peach Blossom Village as a matter at all. And Gan Ning's water ghost team followed Luo Feng's boat all the way to Qingfeng Temple from other shores, and the distance was not too far, and before the sun went down, Zhou Yu's men and horses had already rushed outside Qingfeng Temple, without any flags, even if it was the county order of Taoxi County, Shen Guo could only treat them as a group of thieves.

"Bold-since you are the county magistrate of Taoxi County, you dare to surround us when you see that my lord and general are not coming to worship, have you eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall?" Zhou An picked up his big knife and sat on the horse and pointed at Shen Guo's nose and scolded, he really wondered if this county magistrate of Taoxi County was a fool? Even these Oblaji servants dare to come and arrest them? Not enough for one of their brothers!

"What? Who do you call bold? The county magistrate of Taoxi County saw you, why did the thieves want to defeat miserably? You say you are an officer and soldier, but where are you an officer and a soldier? Who are your lords and generals? Shen Guo raised his hand to let his servants stand still for the time being, he was also muttering in his heart, the person opposite didn't want to be a thief, it was better to watch him speak sonorously or ask clearly, it was better to be careful at this time, if it was really a bandit, it would be easy to do, if you could fight, you could fight but you couldn't run back to the county to wait for reinforcements, if it was really a big official, your black gauze hat would not be able to keep it, the more you should be careful at this time. The weapons in the hands of the people and horses on the opposite side are obviously much better than those on their side, the big knives and spears on their side are all tattered, and some only follow with water and fire sticks, and there are knives and bows and arrows on the opposite side, and the outfits are also very neat, not like ordinary mountain bandits.

"Zhou An-take this and let him take a look, I almost forgot that our current dress doesn't look like an official army at all, a bit like a bandit, especially Dian Wei and Xingba, who are all tigers and bears, don't stare at me like that, I am a little scholar who was captured by mountain bandits." Zhou Yu heard it and saw the official on the opposite side, he looked left and right before he realized that he didn't have any flags on his side, no wonder the other party thought he was a thief! So he handed the letter document on his body to Zhou An, and asked him to take a look at the county order of Taoxi County, and as he spoke, he found that Dian Wei was already murderous with an iron halberd in his hand, and he felt a little fierce and vicious when he looked at it; Gan Ning didn't get any better, he was also holding a big knife in his hand, and his ruffian face didn't look like a good person, but he was dressed in tights and a cape, and he looked like a victim with a harmless expression.

"Lord-you just pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger to let me fall for you! Anyway, I remember that the more scholars people are, the more careful they must be, otherwise they will have to count the money for others if they are sold! Now that all of our personnel are in place, are we going to kick the door now? Gan Ning couldn't help but smile when he heard Zhou Yu's quip, he also thought that Zhou Yu was a scholar before, but when he fought with him, he knew that Zhou Yu's kung fu was not weak, and it was he who underestimated Zhou Yu and suffered a secret loss.

"Xiaguan Taoxi County ordered Shen Guo to visit Lord Zhou - I don't know why Lord Zhou besieged this Qingfeng Temple? There are some monks inside, and the official has never heard of any bandits in this place, and he also asks the adults to show the lower officials, if there are really any bandits here, the official will personally lead the team to arrest the bandits! After verifying the seal in Zhou An's hand, Shen Guo hurriedly dismounted and ran over to pay homage to Zhou Yu. There is no way, no matter which dynasty it is, they all have a way to identify their own seals, and Shen Guo can see that Zhou An's seals are absolutely true. No matter what the reason, a state pastor is several levels older than his own small county order, even if he crosses the border to handle the case, he can't manage it, he can only try to cooperate, and the state pastor didn't bring more people, maybe he can take the initiative to ask for a few words in front of the Yangzhou state pastor, in that case, he will have further promotion, and it will not be a problem to do a county guard. Thinking of this, he felt beautiful in his heart, but he was still serious in front of Zhou Yu.

"Taoxi County is exempt from courtesy - this official asks you, can there be people in Taoxi County who report to the official that their children are missing? Or is there a shortage of children in your management in recent years? Zhou Yu looked at this Shen Guo who was about forty years old, but he didn't look like a pedantic person, at least he still had some eyesight to listen to him.

"Thank you, Lord Zhou, there have been a few cases of losing children in the five years that Xia Guan has been in office in Taoxi County, but in the end, they all fell into the water or were bitten by wild beasts, these are well documented! But if you want to say that the number of children is decreasing, there will be dozens less in the county in a year, and the few dozens of children are not killed, but this place is close to the Yangtze River, and it is said that it depends on water to draft water In order to ensure safety, there are sacrifices to the river god and the dragon lord in the nearby villages to voluntarily sacrifice the children. If this is not counted, then there are not many-" Shen Guo is just a corrupt official in Taoxi County, just to make some money, after all, he is also a scholar who has not yet reached the point of corruption and bending the law, and he is still more or less clear about the population under his rule.

"So much – is it true that all these rituals are done by people from the Qingfeng Temple? How many such Taoist temples or temples are there in Lujiang County? Listening to Shen Guo's words, Zhou Yu couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, if you follow the number of abductions, this is not a small number, it seems that there is a huge organization, he has decided whether to do it now, or to find out to the end.

"According to the lower officials, the common people in Taoxi County only find the Taoist priest of Qingfeng Temple to preside, and the villages in Linxian County sometimes send people to invite, if it is said that there are not many such Taoist temples in Lujiang County, there are only two other places called Qingxia Temple in Lujiang County, and the rest of the Taoist temples do not accept the work of sacrifice. The specific reason for the next official is unknown! I don't know this Qingfeng View-" Shen Guo felt that the problem must have appeared in the Qingfeng View, and according to Zhou Yu's question, he had a bold guess if there was something wrong with this Qingfeng View. It seems that I didn't blindly protect Qingfeng View, this step is the right one!
