Chapter 120: The Inn's Crisis Almost Murdered

The words of the county order are very clear, that is, wait for the fire attack, this wooden inn and the grain and grass in the compound are easy to trap all of us inside, and it is indeed extremely vicious. The Eastern Evil Yuan Minfeng hurriedly discussed with the Western Poison Wang Zhiqing, and then asked someone to prepare a bucket with the innkeeper. At this time, I smiled at the county order and said: How can a person like you be an official, if it weren't for the kindness of your ancestors, your quality and cultivation would be a ruffian, don't think that someone in the state capital will support you, you will use chicken feathers as an arrow, and you will have the commander to pacify the envoy and the court. In the name of patriotism, you are afraid that things will leak and get out of control, and you will mobilize officers and soldiers to close the city and ban the streets. Aren't you afraid of being punished by Heaven for such despicable methods?

When the county order heard this, his heart suddenly tightened, how did this grain merchant know about these things? They are so clear about their origins, and there is also the matter of the loan of the bank (industrial and commercial bank) and Changping (agricultural bank), they must not leave this group of people, they know too much. Since he has secretly made up his mind in his heart, he is not polite anymore, and snorted coldly: Law, in this Tangyin County, Lao Tzu is the law, is the sky, haha, here Lao Tzu is the sky, and it is the sky that determines your life and death. Someone, go and urge the archers to come! Then one of the officials ran backwards.

I saw that this guy was already jumping over the wall in a hurry, at this time the innkeeper, the man, and the guards and Liu Laohan and others were carrying buckets of water in the compound, and the guards picked up buckets and poured them on the forage, so as to prevent the fire caused by the rockets, and at the same time, Qiu Xiang and they took the buckets to pour on the doors and windows at the door of the store, although I don't know what the specific intention is, but seeing that everyone is so concerted and united, I also feel a lot of emotion in my heart. At this moment, Wang Zhiqing, the Western Poison, came to my side and said softly: Qiqi Huang Shopkeeper, you can soak the quilt in the guest room with water for later use, which can block the spread of the fire. I nodded, and instructed Steward Wang to communicate the matter with the innkeeper.

At this moment, I saw the sound of rapid and neat footsteps on the opposite road, and then everyone's eyes turned to the road, and they saw four teams of officers and soldiers trotting, many of them with torches, bows and arrows on their backs, and bows and quivers around their waists, and the leader of the team was a general with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and in front of him was a horse riding officer wearing a vermilion official uniform, and beside him was the official who looked like a master and the county lieutenant of the county just now. Not to mention anything else, let's just say that these officers and soldiers are rarely well-trained, and they are worthy of praise in terms of their marching movements and mental outlook.

Seeing the team coming, the county magistrate hurriedly trotted over with a smile on his face, and came to the official horse in the vermilion official uniform to greet him, and as the horse riding official dismounted, the county magistrate whispered in his ear. Soon after, I saw the official in the vermilion official uniform nod slightly, and then looked at our inn. Then he waved his hand and said: Archers ready! As he spoke, he walked towards the gate of the inn compound, and the thick-eyed general behind him heard the archers preparing on his horse, obviously hesitated, but after a while, he also turned his head to the team behind him and said: All of them, the archers are lined up, come forward to prepare. Then he also dismounted and quickly followed the officials in the vermilion official uniform in front.

After a while, everyone arrived at the door of the inn, and I immediately pushed away the two Qinglong and White Tiger who were blocking in front of me and stood up. Without waiting for the other party to speak, I said first: The person who came is Xiangzhou Tongju He Daluo, sent from the Beijing Division, it was the sixth grade before, and when it came to the place, it was from the fourth grade. When I say this, the main thing is to delay time and buy time for the Imperial Forest Army outside the city, if you don't strike first, you may not have enough time, and the heroes won't suffer immediate losses.

Listening to my Xiangzhou Tongju He Daluo was obviously stunned, and then pondered for a moment and said: Who are you, you actually know the name of this official, and your accent is the accent of the Beijing Division, why did you and the others come here, and why did they gather people to make trouble at the gate of the county government, and why did they carry weapons against the officers and soldiers without permission, and also killed and injured the people of the government, Mo Feier and others failed to rebel?

Seeing that the goal had been achieved, the other party first became suspicious, so that he couldn't figure out the details of me, and then if he had any doubts, he must first ask clearly, and those who can do it from the four grades are not ordinary people, and there are still ordinary political acumen. So I heard a series of questions from the other party, I said: This shopkeeper is engaged in the sale of grain, is indeed a person in Beijing, a few days ago I heard that there is a shortage of grain in the north, especially in response to the call of the imperial court, from the Beijing division to transport grain to the north to sell, and passing by Tangyin County outside, see many people around the government notice, out of curiosity to check it, the content of the notice is about the office (industrial and commercial money), Chang Ping (agricultural money) loans, and according to the shopkeeper in Beijing Shi, there is a difference in the content of the notice, so at the request of many people, I took the lead to go to the county government theory, but I knew that the threshold of the county government in Tangyin County was too high, and I couldn't wait to get in, so I theorized with the people in the government at the gate of the county government. As a result, a large-scale conflict was caused, and we were worried that there were too many people and caused a group incident, and went back to the inn to rest, but the officers and soldiers besieged the inn for the crime of taking the lead in gathering people to make trouble, and then they wanted to arrest themselves, seeing that the people in the government were so unreasonable, the guys at the bottom really couldn't see it, so they had a physical conflict with the officers and soldiers, and someone had an accident in the conflict.

At this time, Ouyang Wude, the county magistrate standing beside Xiangzhou Tongju He Daluo, preemptively said: Clever words, you are obviously violating the rules, gathering crowds to make trouble, and then instructing his subordinates to violently confront the officers and soldiers, the intention is very obvious, that is, to rebel. When I saw that this guy was buttoning my hat again, he smiled and said: He Tongju is a dignified son of the country, and he will never listen to the words of Ouyang Wude, who was born as a ruffian. What's more, if it weren't for the kindness of his ancestors to the imperial court, this county magistrate of Tangyin County would really not have been the turn of this kind of person to serve.

First, I am very clear about their backgrounds and resumes, and secondly, to clearly distinguish the two of them, don't be complicit at this time, otherwise it will be bad for us. I saw that the general judge He Daluo glanced at the county order, then turned his head to me and said: In this case, Naer and the others quickly put down their weapons and went to the yamen with their officials to explain the matter, this matter of hiding weapons is not a trivial matter, not to mention killing officers and soldiers.

I saw that the other party was a little loose and hard-lined, which showed that he obviously had concerns about how to know their origins if they were ordinary grain merchants. I then said: It's not that I can't believe in the verdict, but the current situation is that if we lay down our arms, we will inevitably be completely controlled by others, and this officer and soldier have laid down the water of the siege of this small inn, and now there is a large army of troops coming, and they are also carrying offensive weapons, if we lay down our arms, will we not let anyone slaughter them? Unless Zheng Guocang, the governor of Xiangzhou, is called, we are willing to lay down our weapons and follow the adults to the mansion.

Obviously, these words angered Xiangzhou Tongju He Daluo, I obviously couldn't believe him, but I didn't mean to look down on him. But he didn't think so, in front of so many people, mentioning that his boss wanted to come, it was tantamount to slapping him in the face. For the officials of the Great Song Empire, who loved face, this was simply unbearable, and then he said angrily: This official is kind and persuasive, and you dare to take an inch. Since you don't eat and drink for the toast, don't blame the official for being polite. Archers ready. When the thick-eyed and big-eyed general in the back heard this, he wanted to stop talking, but he didn't make a move, and at this time, Xiangzhou General Judge He Daluo saw that there was no action behind, so he turned around and looked at the general angrily and said: General Cao Dazhong, as the commander of Xiangzhou's soldiers and horses, shoulders the important posts of public security and city defense in the jurisdiction of the state.

In the administrative system of the Great Song Empire for nearly a hundred years, the military generals from the very beginning of the word, to the end had to tie up the civil officials and survive, this is indeed the sadness of the times, good men should not be soldiers is the consensus of the society at this time, even if the civil officials and military generals at the same level, the military generals are obviously inferior, the strength of the civil officials is deliberately done by the imperial court, although the imperial court has made corrections, but the habits formed over the past hundred years, it still takes time and process to change. When the thick-eyed and big-eyed general heard this, he had to wave his hand, and the archers behind him immediately scattered in formation, surrounded the inn in a semicircle, and then began to prepare, all holding bows and arrows, aiming at the inn, and then the soldiers on the side were holding torches, as long as a firing order was given, the soldiers next to them immediately lit the arrows, and the soldiers with bows shot quickly towards the inn, and then I am afraid it would be a disastrous consequence.

All of us were also shocked, it seemed that the situation was not good, and there was nothing we could do. At this critical juncture, I turned around and signaled to Xiao Liuzi, who immediately understood, and immediately stepped forward from behind, and then struggled to climb up the food bags piled up at the entrance of the inn compound and stood on it. Then he pulled out the dust from his sleeve, and then shouted in front of him: How dare you! Then he stretched out his hand and took out the gold medal wrapped in yellow silk from his bosom, held it high in the air, and said, "Blind your dogs, and don't look at what this thing is?" If you dare to dance with guns and arrows here, aren't you afraid of exterminating the nine clans?

After Xiao Liuzi's operation, everyone was dumbfounded, standing there motionless, where did an inner attendant jump out, and what was he holding high in his hand? Even the grandchildren of Liu Laohan in the back, the three sisters who sang and the shopkeeper of the inn and the guys were dumbfounded, this kid has fine skin and tender flesh, it turned out to be an internal officer. How could there be an internal servant in the ranks of this grain merchant, what the hell is going on, and he suddenly fell into a deep confusion.
