Chapter 165: Idlers Avoid

"With us here, Jing Zhigang shouldn't be so careless about his image, right?" Gong Changyu took a few steps and stopped again.

"Jingzhi County is in Wuyou City, and it has long been notorious, big and small, as long as there are famous restaurants, he has a white strip." Lu Zanchen said with a smile.

"Then did he go to the fireworks Willow Lane in Xuanfeng Tower?" Gong Changyu asked.

"I don't know. As far as I know, Jing Xianling's wife is very powerful and strictly controlled, he shouldn't dare to go to those places to steal fun. Lu Zanchen smiled.

"Oh, it's not too early, we should go in too, otherwise Jing Zhigang will make a fuss inside again." Gong Changyu held down his sword and walked towards the restaurant.

At this time, more than a dozen customers hurriedly ran out of the restaurant, and one of the customers in a big red robe panicked and collided with Gong Changyu. The man looked up and saw Gong Changyu wearing armor, he couldn't help but be shocked, and stammered: "Master Jun, spare your life, the grass people didn't mean to hit you." ”

"Fellow, don't be afraid, this is General Gong Jichang, the new man in Wuyou City." Lu Zanchen tugged at the customer's sleeve.

"Gong Jichang, I haven't heard of it. I've only heard of a gambler named Gong Laoxue who cut off one of someone's palms before he was nine years old. When he was 20 years old, in front of the Wuyou County Ya, he defeated a general ...... recruiting new army with his bare hands," the customer looked at the dark-skinned Gong Changyu.

"Fellow, don't you know, Gong Laoxue is my brother's nickname, and now his official name is Gong Jichang." Lu Zanchen laughed.

"Oh, really?" The customer asked rhetorically.

"What am I lying to you for? A genuine general, Gong Laoxue is Gong Jichang. Lu Zanchen explained again.

"I see." More than a dozen customers nodded, surrounded Gong Changyu, looked at it for a long time, and didn't say a word.

Soon more than 100 people poured out of the restaurant, and a man with pockmarks on his face shouted: "Guys, that's right, I remember, when I was competing with that general martial arts competition, Gong Laoxue had a Z-shaped scar on the back of his left hand, which was exactly the same as the general in front of him." ”

Gong Changyu didn't like others to look at him like a diorama, but these spectators seemed to be very rich, so he still couldn't help but not have a seizure, but waved his hand slightly: "Everyone let go, General Ben is in a bit of a hurry to go inside." ”

Most of those customers are some rich lords, more or less have seen the world, they were all blasted out of the restaurant by Jing Zhigang's county order, and now they see a sergeant standing guard at the door, thinking that it is the troops brought by Jing Zhigang, and they dare not conflict with it, so the customers consciously get out of the way, hold their breath, and see what Gong Changyu is going to do next.

Gong Changyu did not immediately walk out of the middle of the road, but drew his sword and raised it: "Fellow squire brothers, it is really an honor for my Gong Laoxue to be able to contribute to the defense of Wuyou's tranquility today......

As soon as the words fell, a white-bearded old man asked, "Hundreds of warships of the Sailor Battalion of the Blue Wolf Army at Tangdu Port were burned, but the general did it?" ”

"Exactly down there." Gong Changyu hugged his fists and saluted.

"Oh. The hero is a young man, and he admires it so much, and he sees the general here today, and it is really extraordinary. The old man clenched his fists in return.

"Sir, torment me. Gong was dull and reckless, and thanks to the love of the saint, he had the opportunity to return to his hometown to kill the enemy. "Gong Changyu is too modest.

"The old man dared to ask, the blue wolf army retreated temporarily, if he came to attack the city again in the future, would the general have a good plan to retreat from the enemy?" The old man asked, obviously testing Gong Changyu's military talents.

"Gong is blunt, there is no strategy yet, please teach me Mr." Gong Changyu hurriedly bowed to the old man, "There is an invitation inside-"

"General, the old man doesn't understand military affairs, he just asks." The old gentleman stopped again and again, "I heard that the silver taels and grain and grass in the county government treasury were all robbed by the blue wolf army, presumably the general army is worried about this matter, right?" ”

"Old man, you are so godly, how do you guess Gong's thoughts?" Gong Changyu was taken aback, and hurriedly went into the restaurant, and the rest of the soldiers also went in.

When the guy running the restaurant saw so many soldiers pouring in the restaurant at once, he knew that the person who came was by no means an ordinary person, so he hurriedly ran over in a panic and said to Gong Changyu with a smile: "Guest officer, what do you want to eat?" ”

"This is our general, what is it called, don't you have long eyes?" The black handsome Huang Qinggong shook his hand and was about to slap the guy.

Gong Changyu quickly stopped the black boss: "Hugh is rude." There's nothing wrong with the shopkeeper, you still don't quit! ”

"Yes, General." The black marshal retreated with the soldiers, found a place at another round table, and sat down.

Gong Changyu took the old man's hand and was very respectful: "Old man, Wuyoucheng is having no food and grass inside, and there are no rescuers outside, how to deal with it?" ”

The old man patted the back of Gong Changyu's hand: "The old man watched the celestial phenomenon last night, and a Sirius star in the north moved southward, shining to the point of dimness, so in less than two months, there will be a fierce battle in Wuyou City." General, the defense of Wuyou City is a matter of no sooner rather than later. ”

"The soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first. The eight gates of Wuyou City, closed the original armed forces in the city, and our troops were only more than three or four hundred, which could not be defended. Gong Changyu had no bottom in his heart.

"The Wuyou city wall is impregnable, not blown out, and it is a strategy of defending and attacking. It's all about how you defend. The old man said without hurry......

Jing Zhigang County Linghe County Chengma Wenling had already ordered seven or eight dishes on a table not far away, waiting quietly. When the two saw Gong Changyu and a white-bearded old man talking about heat, they were very unhappy.

Jing Zhigang walked over with an iron fan, and said in a weird manner: "Mr. Yin, you haven't left yet?" The officer just kicked you out of the restaurant, what are you doing when you come back? ”

"Lord Jing, this restaurant is not opened by you, the old man comes and goes freely, what's the reason for you?" Mr. Yin replied.

"Hey, this official is going to entertain General Gong here, and all the idlers and others will be avoided, so don't leave quickly!" Jing Zhigang shouted with a dark face.

"My lord, you're not going to eat and drink again, are you?" Mr. Yin sneered.

"This official treats, whether it's a meal, or a meal, do you care about it?" Jing Zhigang's face was very embarrassed.

"I don't know what I say. According to the old man, you were earth-shattering when you took office, and you spent all day drinking and dark when you were in power, is it possible that when you leave office, you will also shout to the heavens and the earth, and walk out of Wuyou City with shackles? "Mr. Yin didn't mean to compromise with Jing Zhigang at all.

"You old immortal, why don't you get out of the door for me!" Jing Zhigang was half angry, his face was red and white. Gong Changyu was silent, and finally saw clearly the ugly side of Jingzhi County, an official who claimed to be honest and clean.

It just so happened that the shopkeeper brought a plate of bananas to Gong Changyu, he peeled a banana and stuffed it into Jing Zhigang's mouth: "Lord Jing, eat a banana, General Ben will be hungry when he sees what you said so much." ”

"General Gong, what are you doing here?" Jing Zhigang bit a banana in his mouth and said while eating.

"As a parent official, you do not benefit the people, but eat the people. In his position, you have failed the conscience of heaven and earth, and you have read the book of the saints in vain. Water can carry a boat, or it can capsize a boat, you know this truth better than me. Why Wuyou City became the bag of the Blue Wolf Army overnight, I finally figured out the reason. Gong Changyu dipped his fingers in a little tea and wrote two words on the table-people's heart.

"Gong Jichang, the loss of Wuyou City is not the fault of this official." Jing Zhigang looked at the two words on the table and justified himself.

"Shut up! Wuyou City is lost, you have no loss of a single soldier, and you are the first to escape. Let me tell you, when Lao Tzu was stationed in Anping County, the enemy he encountered was ten times more fierce than the one you encountered, and I didn't escape......" Gong Changyu told what happened to him in Lenghu Mountain, and everyone sweated for him.

Gong Changyu's words made Jing Zhigang speechless, and this usually high-ranking county commander finally realized his incompetence and mediocrity. He was silent for a while, and still said cheekily: General, please over there, please over there, let's talk while eating.

"What can I talk about for you, you have collected all the money for me to recruit troops and horses and expand the city gates, and I will have dinner with you." Gong Changyu stood up and said loudly, "Brothers, let's go, we won't eat this meal!" ”

When Jing Zhigang saw that Gong Changyu didn't sell his account, he humiliated him as so many people, and he felt very uncomfortable. He rolled his eyes, grabbed Gong Changyu's sleeve, and said with a smile: "General, the matter of expanding the army and repairing the city is wrapped up in this official, and I promise to give you 100,000 taels of silver within one day." ”

"Okay. What kind of guarantee law do you say? "Gong Changyu is unrelenting.

"General, go over there for a drink." Jing Zhigang smiled all over his face, "Mr. Yin will also go together, please." ”

"Master Jing, I'll give you a chance." Gong Changyu walked over to the round table opposite.

After everyone sat down, Jing Zhigang took the wine glass and punished himself with three glasses, before pouring the wine for the people present. Then, Jing Zhigang asked the county Cheng Ma Wenling to take out a certificate of official land property right from his bosom and spread it on the table: "This is a thousand acres of public land in Wuyoucheng County, which is rented to farmers for planting, and the tax is collected every year. ”

This 1,000 acres of fertile land is the main source of silver for the officials of Wuyou County at the end of the year, and if they are sold, their livelihood will not be guaranteed. Jing Zhigang made this decision to dig up sores and mend meat, kill chickens and take eggs, although it solved the temporary financial difficulties, but could not solve the fundamental problem.

Gong Changyu also knew the importance of these public fields to the county officials. He thought about it, but still felt that it was inappropriate, so he took the wine glass and put it down again: "Lord Jing, this method is inappropriate. I have a plan, but I don't know if it's possible? ”
