Xiongxian County,

Located in the northwest of the capital, it is also a place where soldiers must fight.

The importance of the location is needless to say. Therefore, since the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty was set in the capital, Xiongxian County was built into a military fortress.

It was only later, with the successive recovery of Youzhou and Pingzhou, there was no longer a threat from the outside in the capital.

Therefore, Xiongxian County was deserted and gradually became an extremely ordinary county seat in the capital.

However, today, the entry of a horse-drawn carriage seems to have brought a new difference to Xiongxian County.

On the bluestone street, Yang Dong walked unhurriedly in the county.

Although the city walls are dilapidated due to disrepair, they are full of broken walls.

But Yang Dong can vaguely see the majesty of the year.

A Xiongguan is here, protecting the whole Zhoujing. This proverb passed down by word of mouth in Xiongxian County is enough to prove the importance of Xiongxian County back then.

It's just a pity that today's Xiongxian County has been abandoned. Those once important military towns have long been dilapidated.

Looking at the situation in front of him, Yang Dong frowned slightly.

"For more than 100 years, has it been abandoned to this point? Shu Mouse, do you think there is still a possibility of sticking to this place? ”

When Shu Mouse heard this, a thoughtful look appeared on his cheeks. But after a moment, he shook his head with a wry smile.

"Yang Gong, there is no city wall in this Xiongxian County now, and the only remaining ruins of the walls may not be able to resist the Houjin Iron Cavalry. Even if it's ...... Even if we have big firecrackers, I'm afraid it will be difficult to hold on, so ......"

"So you also think that this Xiongxian County has lost its role as a strategic location?"

Yang Dong was silent for a moment, and suddenly spoke again:

"Let's go, go to the mountains with my father."

The so-called mountain is directly north of Xiongxian County, a low mountain that is not very high.

Although it is a low mountain, it is the highest commanding height within a radius of 500 miles, so it is also a place where soldiers have always fought for it.

It was also a military town back then, but now it has been abandoned for a long time.

Yang Dong pointed to the deserted barracks and commanded Shu Mouse:

"Arrange two hundred brothers to renovate the military camp here and put it into use."

"Commander Ma, arrange for a brave army to come and garrison this place."

Hearing this order, the expression on Shu Mouse's face was slightly stunned.

"Yang Gong, now that the number of brave soldiers is already stretched, I am afraid that if we divide a team of people, I am afraid that they will ...... It will affect combat power. ”

Yang Dong heard this, but shook his head slightly.

"You remember, the so-called one husband should be closed, and ten thousand people should not be opened, that's it."

"These 1,000 people play a far greater role here than 10,000!"

Shu mouse lowered his head and began to secretly think about Yang Dong's words.

One husband is the key, and ten thousand people are not open......

It turns out that Yang Gong is planning to do this......

Sure enough, Yang Gong deserves to be Yang Gong, such an important Xiongxian County, I didn't even notice it!

Thinking of this, the admiration for Yang Dong in Shu Mouse's eyes became more and more undisguised.

After the field investigation, Yang Dong had a general understanding of the situation in Xiongxian County.

He planned to hurry up and return to the capital immediately. But at this moment, he suddenly heard an "oops" sound in front of his carriage.

He frowned, subconsciously poked his head out, and then saw a little beggar in tattered clothes, sitting in front of the carriage, holding his legs and crying loudly.

"Lose money, lose money!"

"Your carriage ran over my leg, you know?"

"How do you drive without looking at people?"

It was not someone else who was in charge of driving, it was Shu Mouse, who had been following Yang Dong's side.

Shu Mouse suddenly raised his eyebrows, and said angrily:

"Where did you come from, little cub, don't talk nonsense! Uncle's carriage is still two feet away from you, why did it roll over your legs?? ”

"Get out, or I'll have to report to the police!"

Hearing that Shu Mouse was going to report to the official, the little beggar's cheeks not showed the slightest panic, but instead of showing the slightest fear, he was extremely fearless.

"Report to the official, report to the official!"

"If you have the ability, you can go now!"

"But I can advise you, now you can compensate me, only five taels of silver at most. But if you go to the official mansion, you can't get out without twenty taels of silver. ”

When Shu Mouse heard this, the expression on his cheeks was slightly stunned, and then a touch of embarrassment appeared on his face.

The West Factory has always had the responsibility of supervising hundreds of officials, and Xiongxian County belongs to the capital, which is logically the base camp of the West Factory.

But under the nose of Xichang, the county magistrate of Xiongxian County was actually grandiose, and ganged up with beggars to extort money.

This kind of behavior is simply terrible!

Yang Gonghe...... You won't be angry with me because of this, right? I've only been in office for a short time, and I haven't bothered to sort out these things......

At this moment, Shu Mouse had already made up his mind in his heart. No matter whether Yang Gong will punish him this time, after he goes back, he will comb through these secret agents under the West Factory.

If nothing else, he didn't believe in the secret agent of Xiong County, and he didn't accept the benefits of this county order.

Otherwise, why would he be so blatant?

While planning in his heart, how to clean up the county order and the responsible spy of Xiongxian County, Shu Mouse was carefully observing Yang Dong's expression.

Fortunately, Yang Dong's face was calm, and there seemed to be no signs of anger.

Shu Mouse knew that this was Yang Gong giving himself a chance, so he immediately stopped hesitating and said:

"Boy, how can the county order of your Xiongxian County be in the same stream as you?"

"Do you know that he is the parent official of one party, and everyone moves casually, and there are countless pieces of silver in the account like a stream, where can I look at you and the two dates?"

As soon as these words came out, the little beggar was suddenly unhappy. He stared at a pair of dripping round eyes, glared at Shu Mouse fiercely, and said:

"You are talking nonsense, the old man of the county order is so poor, how can he have so much silver?"

Prefectural order, poor?

Shu Mouse never dreamed that when these two words could be connected.

He subconsciously sneered and said:

"What, you kid don't understand, do you?"

"I tell you, as long as the county decree is made, there is no poor person in the family! You just didn't look at it, as the so-called wealth is not exposed, people have silver, where will you see it? ”

As soon as these words came out, a look of thought flashed in the little beggar's eyes.

After a moment, he nodded earnestly.

"I think what you said makes sense, the old man can't be so poor!"

"This old thing must have deliberately hidden the silver and cried poor in front of us!"

"No, I'll have to find all the money and buy a lot of cooking cakes to eat!"

Hearing such childish words, Shu Mouse couldn't help but be happy.

"Why don't you buy some meat to eat, you boy?"

"Let me tell you, the old man of the county order has a lot of money in his house!"

Who knew that the little beggar gave him a blank look, and said disdainfully:

"Are you naïve? How expensive is meat, isn't it more to buy cookcakes? ”
