"My lord, it seems that there is a situation in the county! Someone is attacking the city! Lao Hei was the first to pull out his waist knife and protect Jiaren's side.

Jiaren also frowned, and quickly ordered, "Send someone to investigate and ask what happened in the county seat?" Who is besieging the city? ”

The veterans under Lao Hei's men immediately divided into four or five and scattered towards the county seat.

Lao Hei and the others escorted Jiaren for another seven or eight miles, and at this time, the veterans immediately rushed back with an embarrassed city guard.

There were two more tied up at the back, across the horse's back.

"My lord, we took advantage of the chaos to catch two 'tongues' among the besiegers, and we also received the messengers."

The city guards recognized Jiaren, and the pawn rolled off his horse and fell to his knees and cried, "Lord County Commander, My Excellency! Tonight, when the city gate was about to be closed, there was a group of people who made trouble, and when our city defense was about to deal with it, they suddenly drew their waist knives and began to cut people.

"Our commander took his brothers and desperately closed the gates. But these people went crazy, and they grabbed the wood and rammed the city gates, and we poured oil from the walls and lit fires.

"This is barely considered to have killed them, and the commander sent our team out to find you and ask the border to send reinforcements. As a result, the road was found, and our squad ...... I'm the only one left! ”

Xu thought of his brother on the same team, and this young soldier cried even more.

Lao Hei couldn't get used to his appearance, kicked him, and scolded, "What are you crying about, what are you crying, you look like a bag." When my brother dies in battle, he picks up a knife and slashes it back to take revenge, what's the use of crying! Drown your enemies with your tears! ”

The little soldier wiped his tears, choked and didn't dare to cry again.

Jiaren carefully asked how many people came and how their combat strength was, and he had some guesses in his heart.

Sure enough, two 'tongues' were brought up.

Both of them are yellow-skinned and thin-skinned, with a knife on their necks, they are both shaking like chaff, and the smell of urine between their legs gradually spreads.

"Spare your life, woo, spare your life! We still have wives and children at home, and we didn't kill anyone! ”

"Woo, my lord spares my life, my wife is going to starve to death, I just came out to ask for something to eat!"

Jiaren coldly interrupted them and said, "You are the people of the nearby villages and towns? Why attack the county seat? Who is the leader? ”

"Yes, yes! My lord! A person hurriedly replied, "My family lives in Qingshan Village, and there is really nothing to eat at home, the well has dried up, and the grass and leaves on the mountain have been robbed." The old lady and the child were screaming with hunger, so I wanted to come out and find something to eat.

"There is a hall master named Mida who is preaching, saying that the gods in the sky are angry, there will be no rain this year, the crops will be lost, we will all starve to death, and only by following them can we live.

"Then I followed them for two meals and was brought here!"

The other person was also afraid that he would be robbed of the opportunity to confess and be lenient, so he hurriedly agreed.

"We didn't have a knife at all, we just found a stick and shouted a few times in the back. The hall master said that there is a Taiping warehouse in the county, and there are countless grains in the warehouse, as long as the city is broken, he will open a warehouse and distribute grain to us! ”

Jiaren was shocked when he heard this, and what he was most afraid of in the famine year was not the reduction of grain production, but the instigation of riots.

Needless to say, this happened to him.

In the six months since he took office, he has spent almost most of his efforts outside the city.

All the villages and towns have been walked through, and they have seen and understood it for themselves.

Seeds were sent, reservoirs were dug, the training of the city defense soldiers was strengthened, and the grain in the Taiping was also a lot of grain for the guards.

Now, it seems, none of these efforts have come to naught.

Natural disasters are still irresistible, and the breach has become the target of the mob!

"How many people are there in this Mida Sect?" Jiaren asked again, "Where is their lair?" ”

Both people shook their heads, and one of them replied, "I don't know, my lord." This hall master brought more than thirty people, all with knives. They didn't say where the nest was, they just said that there would be some big people coming over in a few days, so the hall master was in a hurry to make meritorious service! ”

Jiaren looked at a few veterans, "They were indeed behind, and they didn't hurt anyone?" ”

"Yes," replied one veteran, "it's so easy to catch and kick you down." ”

Jiaren motioned to Lao Hei to loosen the ties between the two of them, and said, "You go back and tell the people in your village to bring your family to the county seat as soon as possible, so that you will not starve to death." I only waited for three days, and after three days, if I didn't enter the city, I would be treated as an accomplice of the thugs, and I would never be able to enter the county again. ”

The two people were pleasantly surprised, they didn't expect to be released so easily, and there was a chance to make a living in the county.

"Thank you, sir, thank you!"

The two quickly kowtowed, and then ran away with each other's arms.

Lao Hei stepped forward and asked, "My lord, do you have any arrangements?" ”

Jiaren nodded, "Uncle Hei, I still need your help in this matter, it's a bit dangerous." ”

"My lord, although I said, we came here this time because the county lord was not at ease, so he came to visit you. Now that we encounter this incident, we naturally can't stand by and watch, otherwise how can we see the county lord when we go back. "Lao Hei said boldly.

Several other veterans also nodded.

"Yes, my lord, we are a border army ourselves, and the barbarians have killed countless people, but we are not afraid of these mountain bandits."

"Your Excellency, give the order."

Jiaren bowed deeply, thanked them, and then arranged it......

Fengshan County, the county magistrate and the county lieutenant, plus the city defense commander and several other people gathered together, looking at the black head under the city gate, and couldn't help but feel cold in the bottom of their hearts.

Today is no different from every day, but the county order is not at home when the adults go out of the city.

But the county magistrate is out every day, and he rarely sits in the office, and everyone is used to it.

For half a year, they have become familiar with the temper of this new county magistrate.

As long as they perform their duties and do not stumble in private, the prefectural magistrate will not interfere in their errands.

Even, the county magistrate's family sent good things from Xindu, and they would share their share.

As a result, when the city gate was closed, they did not wait for the county commander to return, but ushered in the mountain bandit thug.

In the city gate, there were more than 30 corpses covered with white linen, all of whom had just died in battle and the people who had been affected.

There are still so many mountain bandits and thugs below, and the hot oil has not been spilled, and I don't know when to attack again, and the casualties will definitely continue to increase.

At this time, they also lost their backbone, they really looked forward to the red eyes, and they couldn't wait for the county order to fall from the sky!

Suddenly, a soldier led the steward of the Li family to the city tower and came over.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have returned. But now he was behind the mob, and he had already figured out the details of the thugs. ”

The housekeeper of the Li family said neatly, and everyone who said a few words was extremely surprised, and then they were worried.

"Your Excellency is in danger, do you want the city defense battalion to send someone to take over and protect you?" The county lieutenant did not forget his duty and asked.

The steward of the Li family responded, "Don't worry, Lord County Lieutenant, our adults are safe." The adults have decided to cooperate with the inside and the outside, and the plan to capture the thief and the king is to ask the adults to cooperate. I also hope that all of you will do your best for the safety of Fengshan. ”
