Chapter 57: The Thieves

Ouyang said to Gan Xin: "Recruit another twenty to thirty officials, and the salary will be reduced to the same every month." Each person here brings at least two apprentices as a group. After that, the area is divided into districts, and the team is responsible for the security of the area. ”

"Yes, sir." Gan Xin was a little worried: "My lord, the vacancy of the post of county lieutenant is not important, but the vacancy of the post of county lieutenant will lead to the lack of a leader of the township soldiers." Once a strong man really enters our county, it may be difficult to rely on the force of the errand force. ”

"Well, the county lieutenant is helping me with some personal affairs, and I guess I'll be back soon." Ouyang said: "Township soldiers or something, or the head of each township is in charge for the time being." You can pump a few people and open and close the gates. ”

Ou Ping said on the side: "Young master, will you see the exhibition to catch the head?" ”

"No, Mingqing, a woman with small feet, can't ride a horse, can't walk. Only by sedan car. Coupled with the scorching summer heat, there is bound to be not much time to travel every day. Ouyang said: "According to my estimate, there should be ten days left." ”

Ou Ping asked again: "Young master, do you want to prepare some people." ”

Gan Xin said on the side: "Yes, my lord, adults are young and unmarried, and it is not convenient to eat out every day." And the adults are busy with business, and they also wash their own clothes and tidy up the room, and it is not proper to pass it out. There are also large residences for adults, and if there is no one to clean and take care of them, I am afraid that they will slowly be deserted. ”

"Yes!" Ouyang nodded: "Ou Ping, you can do it." "Why are there so many things, and I can't spare my hands to do serious things.

……

A few days later, Ouyang and Gan Xin began to settle accounts, what kind of accounts? Settle Liu Sinu's account. But all the way down, this old boy did a very clean job. Gan Xin shook his head while watching: "My lord, there are also farmers who sue Liu Sinu for occupying the land. But this is an enclosure that the emperor has granted. Although there are discrepancies in the number of acres, it is not only difficult to start from this side, but even if Liu Sinu is judged to be at fault, there will be no major deal if people withdraw from the field. ”

Ouyang asked: "Xiao Liu Tou has been operating in Yangping for so long, and he hasn't done a few big bad things?" ”

"My lord, the so-called people don't sue, and the officials don't hold them accountable. Even if there is, but there is no suffering, we cannot interfere. Moreover, the Liu family is a royal prince, and his daughter is being favored. I am afraid it will not be easy to move the Liu family. Gan Xin said: "My subordinates have searched through the files of the past ten years and found that there is nothing useful. Adults might as well take your time......"

"I'll tell you the truth, I have something to do. If I can't dig up Liu Sinu first and make Yangping harmonious, I won't be able to do it. ”

"Well...... Unless ......" Gan Xin suppressed his voice and said, "Unless we break the horse bandits......"

"My lord, there are horse thieves running rampant through the streets, and they are coming towards us." A duty official broke Ouyang's rule of knocking on the door first, panting and hurrying.

"Wow! You crow's mouth. Ouyang exclaimed and asked, "How many of them are there?" ”

"The little ones don't see clearly." It can be seen that the official is very panicked.

"What's the panic, let go of the arrows to gather everyone." Well, the bandits release of arrows does not mean that the government cannot release arrows. Ouyang is quite a command center, and wherever there are arrows in the whole city, support will arrive within ten minutes.

……

The two rope claws buckled the two gates of the yamen, and the two horse bandits, one facing east, and the other facing west, pulled the rope and ran away. With a 'plop', the two horse bandits were dragged by a strong pull and fell under the horse.

The door of the public hall opened, and two officials with swords on the left and right supported the door, in the middle was Gan Xin, who was dressed as a scribe and trembling, and Ouyang was dressed in official uniform. Seeing that the horse bandits were so embarrassed, Ouyang asked with concern: "This gate has been reinforced by this county, and it didn't fall to the two, right?" ”

Thirty-one masked horse bandits, led by a woman dressed in red, wrapped in ten horsemen, and the other horse bandits were scurrying around to strengthen their momentum. Ordinary people did not dare to approach at all, and closed their doors one after another.

The female bandit pointed at the spur in her hand and shouted: "Dog officer ......"

"Remember, frame the court officials."

"Imperial court officials? Ha ha. Above! As soon as the female bandit greeted, a fast horse rushed directly to the court.

Ouyang said unhurriedly: "Close the door." ”

The two servants immediately pushed the door, and the fast horse was shocked at first sight, how could there be such a laid-back, but the people and horses had already gone up the steps, and the horses could not be restrained at all, and they hurriedly pulled the horses at the moment, and the horses braked suddenly, but the people were pulled by inertia and hit the gate. To say that the gate of the yamen is really good and of high quality, there is no sign of shaking at all.

The door opened, and a servant carried the half-dead horse into the courtroom. The female bandit was furious: "Good boy. "Take a bow and an arrow......

"Close the door!"

So the door closed, and the female bandit was half-ranging, did she let go of this arrow or not? I can't pull the bow and string faster than two professional officials. I endure! The female bandit was determined to pull the bow and wait for the door to open, and then shoot off Ouyang's official hat to demonstrate.

"Big boss?" The subordinates kindly reminded them not to be so persistent, and they all pulled half a cup of tea, so let's rest.

"Humph!" As soon as the female bandit's hand loosened, the arrow sped away, and half did not enter the gate.

"Your Excellency, your Excellency!" There was an exclamation in the public hall. The female bandit was shocked when she heard this, could it be that the kid was lying on the door eavesdropping, and was shot right by herself? Liu Sinu has to confess that she can't kill the people of the Yamen, especially Nazhi County, at most she will take off her arm. Now what?

"Big boss, will you withdraw?"

"Withdraw!"

With a 'bang', the door opened again. Ouyang sat in the middle of the seat and took a cup of tea and smiled and said, "Beauty, you can't go." By the time you were pulling your arrows, the gates were closed. Seeing that you are not in bad shape, it is better to go from Benzhi County, and this county will exempt you from capital crimes? ”

"Dog ......"

"Close the door!"

The female bandit was furious: "Slam the door." ”

“…… Big boss, what do you use to smash? "So they brought knives. Besides, any bandit will carry a piece of wood with him, be careful that Ouyang will sue you to cut it privately.

"Back door!" The female bandit fights the horse, the front door is too strong, and the aunt's and grandmother's directly start from your lair.

The back door is the back door of Ouyang's residence, at the end of an alley, the dilapidated small door is half hidden, the female bandit is overjoyed at first sight, and the spur pointed: "Up!" ”

"Whew, whew!" Two fast horses rushed in, one after the other. Then the bandit heard two 'plops'. Puzzled, the horse got closer and was furious, this bad boy actually put the pond at the back door, and she didn't see anyone put the pond at the back door, and it was separated by a small road.

"Help!" At the end of the day, a horse stepped forward and threw the horse rope through the back door into the pond far and accurately.

Struggling in the mud, the two horse bandits were overjoyed at first sight and hurriedly grabbed the horse rope, but as soon as they grabbed it, a very unscrupulous scissors suddenly appeared at the back door.

Don't! Although the two horse bandits prayed in their hearts, the scissors still 'clicked' mercilessly. So the two unlucky bandits immediately cried bitterly in the muddy water.

Ou Ping, who did this bad thing, carefully peeked out of the door and shouted, "Hey! If you have the ability, come in, and remember to turn right when you come in. "The young master was too wise to expand the pond to the back door at that time. Ouyang must know that he must be scolded for, and he expanded because he wanted to change it into a swimming pool, which was to prepare for thieves.

"Big boss, don't you get off the horse, let's go over the wall together?" A horse bandit has a bad idea.

Another horse bandit said, "What if I turn into a pond?" ”

"Then you rode in, do you know how wide the road is? In case someone puts a stone or something, don't we all squeeze together? ”

In the courtyard, a servant reported: "The brothers are all together." ”

"There's no hurry."

Gan Xin still trembled and asked, "My lord, are you trying to capture them alive?" ”

"!" A group of officials who have never killed anyone will be forced to deduct 80% of their combat effectiveness. Ouyang understood this very well and said, "I want to think about it! ”
