233. I'm really not afraid of death
Ying Bao nodded, looking thoughtfully at the officers and soldiers and those who were disguised as local villagers.
If it is really as Fangfang said, then these officers and soldiers and these villagers have obviously secretly colluded.
As for what the purpose is, it is not yet known.
But what can basically be guessed is that the villagers said so much, just to let them go to their village.
As for what to do in their village, I only found out when I went.
"Miss Yingbao, do we need to do anything now?" Fang Fang asked a little nervously.
Ying Bao shook his head, his eyes full of interest: "No, I want to know, what do they want to do with so much effort to take us to their village?" ”
Hearing Yingbao's words, Fangfang suddenly felt a little complicated.
It seems that to follow Miss Yingbao, who is too capable, you need to have a strong heart, otherwise you can be scared by some of Miss Yingbao's decisions and your heart will stop.
These people have been planning since they were in their county town, so it can be seen that there are some big moves, but Miss Yingbao still has to go deep into the tiger's den, she is really not afraid of death!
Of course, there is another reason, that is, Miss Ying Bao is too powerful to be frightened by these potential dangers at all.
On the other side, when Boss Zhang heard his subordinates pleading like this, his face was also a little unkind, and he said lightly: "Just listen to the words of a few villagers, you are so frightened that you lose your soul, and this exile has worn down your courage?" ”
Hearing this, the officials were suddenly a little speechless.
For fear that he would expose his stuffing, he had to justify himself again: "We didn't listen to the words of these villagers, haven't we heard such rumors before, there are such words everywhere, we think it's not groundless, it's always right to be cautious?" ”
Seeing Boss Zhang's questioning attitude, those villagers looked angry at the moment, "We are kind enough to tell you this, you think we are one-sided, if you don't believe it, you can go to other places to inquire and see if what we say is true!" ”
The owner of the porridge shop, who was taking care of the stove, heard their chat, and while wiping the rice soup that had overflowed on the stove with a rag, he helped the villagers and said:
"Official, I can testify to them about this, my porridge is spread out on the side of the road, and people often come to me to drink porridge, I have never heard of this kind of thing.
Now that Taining County is the opposite of its name, it is not peaceful at all, the county commander is the lord of a county there, and the days are so sad, not to mention that you are just an official, there will definitely be no good results! ”
Boss Zhang asked calmly: "They are a small village, why did the county magistrate visit their village?" ”
Speaking of this, the villagers became excited: "It's not because we found a good place, the county magistrate wants to move the city, so he will go to our village to check the place, if our village is big and can accommodate the entire county, he wants to move the entire Taining County to our village!" ”
"Otherwise, how could he come to our small village?"
"You exiled prisoners, you can also go to our village first, if you really move Taining County to our village, you can occupy the territory first!"
The villagers' words made the people of the Liu family very moved, and they looked at the officials with blank eyes, hoping that they could agree.
And the officials who were said by Fangfang to have been bribed also took this opportunity to persuade Boss Zhang:
"Boss, be careful to sail the 10,000-year-old ship, these people who live here always know much better than our newly arrived officers and soldiers, don't you have to listen to their opinions first?"
"Yes, after all, it's a life, if the bet is wrong, we won't have the life to go home to see our wives and children, don't we have to be more cautious about this kind of thing?"
"Anyway, it's only a day's delay, and we'll be able to see the county magistrate tomorrow, let's hand over these exiled prisoners to the county magistrate, isn't it the same?"
"It's the last minute, we can't afford to lose our lives here, right?"
Under the persuasion of these officers and soldiers, Boss Zhang was also a little hesitant.
At this time, another group of people came.
Dressed in rags, his hair is also very messy.
The face is dirty.
They came to the porridge shop, knelt in front of the boss, and pleaded with their faces: "Shopkeeper, can you bring us a bowl of porridge?" We haven't eaten in a few days......"
The shopkeeper looked at their group of people, there were about 10 of them, and hurriedly waved his hand: "I'm not a good soup kitchen, there are so many of you, how can I supply you with this small porridge shop?" ”
The villagers who were drinking porridge saw these homeless people and hurriedly asked, "Why do you look like this?" Could it be that he escaped from Taining County? ”
The eyes of the ragged people suddenly lit up: "How do you know? ”
As he spoke, he wiped away his tears: "That Taining County is not a place where people live at all, even if there is no food to eat every once in a while, there is a war almost every day, either to deal with foreign enemies, or to engage in internal strife, the people are not able to survive!" ”
"We escaped this time, but we were still stripped of several layers of skin before we escaped from death, if we were allowed to go back to Natening County, I would not go again!"
Hearing the words of these people, and seeing their miserable situation, the exiled prisoners who were about to go to the penal land couldn't help but feel kinship.
What kind of place did they go to exile, and how could they live so miserably?
The bribed officers and soldiers hurriedly asked: "Entering and leaving the city has always been free, why do you want to escape?" ”
When the displaced people saw the officers and soldiers, they hurriedly turned to them and stretched out their hands to ask them for alms: "Several officials, please be kind enough to buy us a few bowls of porridge to drink, we haven't eaten for a few days......
"You answer our questions first, and we'll treat you to porridge."
The few officers and soldiers who had been bribed immediately said.
Only then did the homeless people endure hunger and look eager: "If the official has any questions to ask, we will definitely know everything and say everything, as long as we can reward us with a bowl of rice to eat!" ”
Just when the officers and soldiers were asking these questions about the displaced people, Fang Fang came to Ying Bao's side again and whispered to Ying Bao:
"Miss Yingbao, although the clothes outside these homeless people are tattered, but I see that the clothes inside them are all wearing fine fabrics, and they all have the same short knives hidden in their arms as the previous wave of villagers, I'm afraid they are all in a gang!"
