Chapter Seventy-Seven: Remembering Jiangnan 1

readx;? Cheng Jianzhang embarked on the road of going out again, and he didn't know how to contact his uncle, so he had to follow the same route to the border pass......

As I walked along the way, I asked people if they had ever seen an old man who was more than half a year old, but unfortunately there was no news about him along the way. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Cheng Jianzhang kept reassuring himself that his uncle would be fine, but when he finally arrived at the border town where he was often exiled to court prisoners, he still did not find his uncle. Not only that, but he also suffered an ordeal.

On this day, Cheng Jianzhang was changing the street again, asking around if anyone had ever seen his uncle, but the inquiries again and again, the hope was shattered again and again, which made him very uncomfortable, and there were few pedestrians on the street at dusk, Cheng Jianzhang walked on the street like a lost soul, and his heart was full of confusion.

If before, going to the border to find his maternal uncle was his only spiritual support, then at this moment, because of the long-term unsuccessful search, he was a little confused about the direction, and he was always thinking about this and that one was more than half a hundred years old, but still for his nephew, he went on the road alone, I don't know where he is now, whether he can be fed and clothed, whether he is still alive in this world......

Cheng Jianzhang couldn't help but think in his heart, and couldn't help but plan for the worst, but in the end, he was deeply related to the blood, and he was not ready to give up looking for it, he was going to go back to the inn first, and ask again tomorrow, after all, the people who always come and go here are very mixed, maybe my uncle has already been to this place, but few people still remember his appearance.

Cheng Jianzhang continued to comfort himself, went back to the inn, and said that he wanted to rest well and look for it again tomorrow, but he didn't know how many times he turned over in bed before he fell asleep.

Cheng Jianzhang, who was communicating cordially with Zhou Gong, could not have imagined that when he woke up again the next morning, the town had already changed......

A gang of horse thieves rushed into the village like that, robbing the people of the land just beaten grain, the timid county magistrate saw that the situation was not right, and had already fled for his life, even the county government was empty, the master or anything was gone, so he left some old officials, saying that the county master had gone to move the rescue soldiers, so that the big guy could not be impatient.

"Oh, hey, what can I do, if the soldiers of this court don't come, this horse thief still has to turn back, and then it's not just about grabbing food." When an old man heard the news, he fell to the ground and wailed.

The people around him, seeing this situation, showed some desperate expressions on their faces, and the rich man Li Yuanwai also heard about this situation, and scolded, "Good for him Yu Tianhua, I give him so much silver every month to honor him, and when something happens, he runs faster than a rabbit! Don't say hello to Lao Tzu!"

"This heavenly horse thief, my food is ......"

"Oh, auntie, run for your life, the food is not important in the end, aunt!"

"What do you know, this horse thief who was killed by the heavens, I don't know if he will find someone to ambush him, where can he escape!"

"Ah, then, then, shall we not be able to wait for death in the city!" said the young man, and when he heard this, he fell to the ground with a dead face, and his eyes were lost.

In short, it was a mess for a while, Cheng Jianzhang was sitting in the inn, and many merchants were checking out, wanting to leave this place of right and wrong quickly.

"Little Er!"

"Hey, here, what do you have to say, guest officer!" Because there are a lot of people in the store, and now the shopkeeper is offering the rest of these people as ancestors, for fear that there will be any neglect.

"Come, sit, and ask you something. Cheng Jianzhang pointed to the stool opposite and motioned for him to sit down, and the shopkeeper looked at the lobby and saw that there were not many people in the lobby now, so there should be nothing to do for the time being, so he sat down.

"I see that gang of horse thieves, they are very familiar with the situation here, and they seem to come to make trouble often, why don't everyone take precautions?" Cheng Jianzhang saw that the city had become like this, and he was a little worried, could it be that his uncle lost contact in such chaos.

"Alas, this guest officer, don't you know, these horse thieves generally don't come to our county, and usually go to some small villages around to grab silver and grain, but this year, I don't know what's going on, they actually attacked us here. As soon as he said about this horse thief, the shopkeeper's face was sad.

"No wonder...... So, what happened when I heard the old man on the street say that this horse thief will come again?"

"That's probably from other people in the village who were killed by horse thieves, and I've heard some people say that this horse thief, first robbed the grain in the field, and if he found that the people here were still rich, he would rob money and people again, which was particularly terrible. Xiao Er made a frightened expression,

"Then, shouldn't they all run for their lives now!" Cheng Jianzhang was also a little nervous when he heard him say this.

"I ...... I think, isn't the county master going to move the rescue soldiers, yes, it should be fine...... Besides, there is no way out of this city...... Those horse thieves may be guarding the gates of the city. When the shopkeeper heard him say this suddenly, he also felt a little panicked in his heart, and when he said the explanation, he didn't believe it, so he stammered.

Cheng Jianzhang was also frightened when he saw him like this, but think about it, who here is not afraid that their lives will be taken by others, in the end, they are sparing their lives.

turned around and went upstairs, looking out of the window, the city was already in chaos, panicked people, running around, Cheng Jianzhang recalled what he did at the time, and felt a little incredible, I don't know if he suddenly had such a mind that day.

But in the end, it can be regarded as saving a lot of people, but he also made a lot of silver, this time, when someone asks, he will smile cheaply, "Of course it's for the silver, haha!"

Cheng Jianzhang took out the piece of paper from his baggage, which was once a proof that he had passed the township examination, which was his honor, and now it is also an indelible scar.

He went downstairs, asked the shopkeeper for a gong, and when he went out into the street, he walked rhythmically, "Knock knock, knock, knock." "Knocking all the way, walking all the way, when I arrived at the gate of the county office, I finally stopped.

Those people who didn't know why, when they saw him like this, observed this person with doubts in their hearts, and then saw this person walking towards the county government, so they followed curiously, wanting to see what was going on.

Seeing that most of the people came over, stood there, looked at him like a fool, and exchanged discussions, Cheng Jianzhang glanced around, then cleared his throat, and said loudly, "I am the newly invited master of the county master, and the county master has already arranged what to do next, and it can save his life! Everyone, please be calm and don't be impatient, listen to me!"

Maybe it's because Cheng Jianzhang's voice is very penetrating, or maybe it's because they seem to have grabbed a life-saving straw at this moment, and it is more likely that the word "life-saving" poked straight into their hearts, so they all quieted down, silently waiting for him to continue.

"First of all, this is the proof that I Cheng someone has been lifted, which shows that I Cheng someone does have real talent and learning, please be sure to listen to what I say, and ask a few old gentlemen to come forward and take a look. Cheng Jianzhang waved, the piece of paper in his hand, and several old people and uncles walked out of the crowd and stepped forward to look at the paper.

I asked Xiucai next door again, knowing that this person was really a man, he was very excited, and stared at him eagerly hoping to get help and save their lives.

"My lord go and ask for reinforcements, and the reinforcements will arrive within five days, but we can't mess up first, if this is in chaos, wouldn't it be easier for the horse thieves to deal with us!" Cheng Jianzhang casually pulled a time to deceive these people, just because he knew that in the current situation, if he didn't give them a hope, he would gather people's hearts together, and that plate of scattered sand would just wait for the horse thieves to grab it.

This way to quench thirst is always effective, as soon as I heard Cheng Jianzhang say this, everyone became excited, and then said yes, we can't mess up with ourselves first!

"Now, please ask the old people and children to hide in the county office, the old and young masters present stay here with me, and we will use stratagems to save ourselves!" Those people heard him arrange this, and they felt very reasonable, and even the old officials who were left behind also joined to help, and they began to get busy.

Those who have already packed up their burdens at will, and want to leave this place of right and wrong, and they don't run away, those who have elderly people and children at home, together with those officials, helped their relatives into the county office, found a place to settle down, and hurriedly came out again, standing in the open space opposite Cheng Jianzhang, waiting for him to continue to speak.

Seeing that everyone was almost busy, Cheng Jianzhang straightened his somewhat messy hair and continued: "Those horse thieves, don't they just bully us and dare not compete with them, but we are not afraid, as long as we hold on, reinforcements will come, and we can be saved!"

Those people nodded when they heard this, and they responded, but in fact, Cheng Jianzhang once again emphasized that it made sense to wait until the reinforcements in five days, he had chatted with the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper in the inn before, knowing that this horse thief generally does not attack the county seat, this time, the sudden sneak attack, there is a great possibility, it is their people who have mixed into this town, and they have been able to get the news.

Therefore, this emphasis is not only to boost morale, but also to remind the spies who infiltrated the city that after five days, they will no longer be able to do anything to the people in the city.

Then, Cheng Jianzhang organized the big guys again, first divided the people into several groups, and first arranged a group of people to go to the place where the horse thieves would ride through the city gate, and all got traps, as well as tripping horses, those horse thieves grabbed things so arrogantly, isn't it because they have horses and run fast, so they are unscrupulous?

Then he wants to let them lose this unscrupulous first!

Then, he arranged for a group of people to go to the top of the city tower and burn the hot oil with fire, close the city gate, prepare the stones, and guard the city gate, according to his observation, these horse thieves seem to be just some minions, after all, this is the border pass, if they are in collusion with the foreign thieves, then these preparations are not missing at all.

This series of arrangements can be described as orderly, but in the end it is still a little simpler, Cheng Jianzhang is not very sure, his heart is also beating uneasily, but the surging qi and blood seem to be shouting again, he Cheng Jianzhang still uses his own way to guard the water and soil of this side, haha, what if he can't pass the test, what if he is dismissed, he Cheng Jianzhang is still standing in such a place, and he is also fighting for the world and the people.

What happened next was similar to what Cheng Jianzhang expected, the horses of those horse thieves were first tripped by the stumbling horse rope, but they did not continue to attack the city strongly, but ran back to move the rescuers.

As soon as the rescuers came, Cheng Jianzhang found that the clothes of these people were different from those of Xuanchiguo, and they were those thieves who colluded with horse thieves.

At this moment, the people below were dumbfounded, didn't the intelligence say that the city was full of helpless ordinary people? Why did they suddenly start to launch such a fierce counterattack against them?

The leader shouted something, and the group quickly retreated.

For the next few days, nothing happened during the day. "Those people are likely to take advantage of the night to attack again, so we must not take it lightly!" Cheng Jianzhang encouraged everyone with a serious heart, and he would definitely be able to hold on for five days.
