Chapter Fifty-Seven: Return, Doubt
Wang Dashi was stunned by Xiao Xuan's words.
He was worried.
Xiao Xuan hadn't mentioned such a thing before, and he didn't know what to do, so he had to stand with an innocent face.
"Three village owners. ”
Xiao Xuan shouted violently, causing the two owners of the village to put down their dispute.
The eyes in the hall once again focused on Xiao Xuan.
Slightly clenching his fists towards the three village owners, Xiao Xuan Zhengse said:
"In order to show my sincerity, I immediately went down the mountain to the Yangzhou prefect to get the edict.
Wang Dashi stayed here as a guarantee. In three days, I will be back here, whether I get the certificate or not. ”
Dong Hu's eyes flickered, but he didn't say anything.
"What if you don't come back? Besides, what if you bring officers and soldiers over?"
Dong Bao blew his beard and glared, and said viciously.
"The second village master is too careful. Wang Dashi is still here, and I won't joke with his life. Besides, if I wanted to bring troops over, I would have done so long ago, so why bother talking here today?"
Dong Long was choked by Xiao Xuan, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he glared at him viciously.
After saying that, Xiao Xuan turned around and looked at Dong Long, the master of Dazhai.
He knew that if he agreed, everything would be fine.
There was silence in the hall.
Dong Long knocked on the edge of the chair casually, constantly weighing in his heart.
After a long time, Dong Long stood up, and a faint voice sounded in the hall:
"Okay, I'll wait for you for three days.
If you don't come back in three days, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Under the gaze of everyone, Xiao Xuan hugged his fists towards the three village owners, turned around, and walked down the mountain........
Wang Dashi looked at the back of Xiao Xuan turning away, and his heart was complicated.
Things turned out far more than he expected.
The steps taken by Xiao Xuan were not within the scope of the previous discussion.
Staying in Dongli Village, he is not afraid. Even if he died at the hands of the bandits, he had no regrets.
It's just that what he is entangled with is, can Xiao Xuan really get the Zhao'an certificate issued by the Yangzhou prefect?
This young man is getting more and more incomprehensible to him.
The story of what happened in the hall soon spread throughout the East Fence Village.
The people in the village heard the news and showed different attitudes.
However, many more are rejoicing.
They really hope that Xiao Xuan will be able to come back with Zhao'an after three days.
After all, this Dongli Village is not a gang organization in the strict sense of the word, but a gathering place for a group of displaced people who are forced to live.
They themselves know that staying here for long is not the way to go.
If they can be incorporated into the official army, then they will change from bandits that everyone shouts and beats to officers and soldiers with heads and faces.
Receiving a monthly salary, eating and drinking without worry, and finding a good future for your descendants, why not?
Similarly, the news also spread back to Daoxiang Village.
When they heard that Xiao Xuan knew Yangzhou officials and wanted to recruit the bandits, they were surprised and delighted.
Similarly, this young man with strong martial arts and extensive connections gradually became mysterious in their hearts.
Only Li Fu, after hearing the news, frowned slightly and thoughtfully.
Three days later.
Wang Dashi leaned under the tree, playing with the willow leaves, looking at the few thieves guarding him not far away, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
This is the third day, and according to the agreement, Xiao Xuan will come here with an official document from the prefect of Yangzhou.
It's just that the time is approaching, and he is a little apprehensive in his heart.
Will the Yangzhou prefect definitely agree to turn the bandits into officers and soldiers?
Can Xiao Xuan really come with an official document?
If the prefect agrees, then everything is easy to say.
But what if you don't agree?
Thinking of this, he hoped that Xiao Xuan would not come.
This group of thieves killed people without blinking, even if they knew that Xiao Xuan was from the Tiance Mansion, they did not have the slightest fear. If Xiao Xuan came alone without an official document, those village owners would be angry, and maybe they would leave him here permanently!
He didn't want to see such a promising person stumbling in this bandit cave.
He would rather sacrifice himself.
The villagers of Daoxiang are also watching from a distance not far away, whether Xiao Xuan can succeed or not is related to whether Daoxiang Village can continue to survive.
In the same way, it is the bandits who are most concerned about him.
Whether Xiao Xuan can succeed or not is related to whether they are bandits or officers and soldiers in the future.
They're really fed up with life now.
It's late in the evening.
The three village owners sat in the hall and waited quietly.
Suddenly, Dong Bao, the owner of the second village, stood up and said hatefully:
"It's not here yet. In my opinion, that kid must have been too scared by us to come. ”
Dong Long smiled faintly, did not answer his words, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was asleep, and his right hand continued to knock on the edge of the chair intentionally or unintentionally.
"Third brother, be patient, what if?"
Dong Hu waved his hand and said with a sneer.
Suddenly, a majestic shout came from outside:
"The young man is back!"
Hearing this, Dong Long opened his eyes suddenly, and the essence in his eyes flashed.
Dong Long was also extremely surprised, and snorted coldly at the moment, but didn't say anything more.
Hearing this, Wang Dashi hurriedly stood up and looked from afar.
I saw Xiao Xuan turn over and dismount, holding the official document high and walking towards the camp headquarters.
At this time, Xiao Xuan was covered in mud, his clothes were covered with sweat, and his face was a little tired, obviously dusty and tired.
"The three village owners are fortunate not to be dishonored. Now that the official document has arrived, it is up to you whether you accept Zhao'an or not. ”
Xiao Xuan said lightly, and handed the official document to the lord of the village.
The owner of the village will be suspicious and carefully observe the briefcase.
This is indeed a briefcase issued by the prefect, which is covered with a large stamp, and the word "urgent" is written in the upper right corner.
"Yes, I have seen official documents from the government in the past, and this is true. ”
Dong Hu nodded and approved of the briefcase.
"Wait. ”
Just as the owner of the village wanted to tear open the briefcase, Xiao Xuan shouted.
"How?"
The lord of Dazhai frowned slightly, and he was very puzzled by Xiao Xuan's actions.
"Zhao'an thieves are to leave their names on the Zhao'an form. There are so many bandits, I can't remember all of them by real name. Thus there is a blank appointment in this move.
You need to wait until tomorrow when the prefect comes in person, opens the briefcase in person, verifies the number of people, and then fills in the names one by one. Whoever has his name on it will be recruited.
Therefore, according to the procedure, the lord of the village should stay and wait for the prefect to come tomorrow to open it in person. ”
Xiao Xuan said solemnly.
The lord of the village looked at Xiao Xuan with deep eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Hmph, if you don't let us open it, how do we know if it's a blank piece of paper inside, and you use it to fool us?"
Dong Long couldn't hold his breath in the end, and questioned his mouth.
"The owner of the second village does not know, and it is necessary to print an official document through the prefect and the main book. Staff members, printers and many other people watched and confirmed one by one, if it was a blank piece of paper, how could it hide so many people?"
My promise has been fulfilled, and I also ask the owner of Dazhai to fulfill his promise.
As for the official documents, if you can't hold them, just open them.
When the prefect is held accountable, don't blame me for not reminding me!"
