Chapter 203: None of them can be let go
Zhu Bai smiled and comforted him: "Don't worry, big brother, just plant the flag of the Guanya Bureau." No one dared to come. ”
The stationmasters of the official tooth bureau are all from the head of the guard and above.
Zhu Bai asked the stationmaster to find a suitable place, and the stationmaster would naturally choose the easiest position to defend.
For example, here, the originally wide road was narrowed by a small hill and Maoshan Mountain.
The post station is located on the slope opposite Maoshan Mountain, which is also the highest point in this area, outside Maoshan Mountain.
If someone wants to sneak attack, they will be discovered by the sentry of the post station and call the police, and then the guard of the post station will condescend to fire thousands of arrows.
Zhu Biao has never fought a war, and he has learned any art of war, so naturally he can't see it.
He couldn't say that Zhu Bai was too confident.
And it was already dark, and the mountains here were endless, and he couldn't get out for a while, so he could only press down and stay uneasy.
As soon as he entered, he understood the reason why Zhu Bai didn't want so many people to follow. This inn, with the original guards, can accommodate up to 200 more people.
Their current group of people, plus the shippers from the Guanya Bureau who came from all over today and settled here, are just right.
Another advantage of the post station of the official tooth bureau is that there is never a shortage of things. Because no matter what is missing, as long as you say hello to the escort who stays overnight, those who come back from the other direction the next day will drop by.
Anyway, everyone is the same boss, unified settlement.
Dinner was the rabbit and pheasant they brought from the back of the mountain.
Roasted fragrantly, golden, sizzling oil.
Zhu Bai ate happily.
Suddenly, I heard someone knocking on the door outside.
The rules of the official tooth bureau post station, in order to ensure the safety of the goods, the door will be closed after dark.
If you want to enter the station again, you can only put the sealed letter and the sample of the goods escorted by you in a basket hanging from the wall, and let the foreman of the guard on duty at night check that it is correct before you can enter.
This is also to prevent people from sneaking in and looting.
The knocker on the door said that there was a document to be sent to the Governor's Bureau.
After checking the seal letter and paperwork, the guards confirmed that there were only two people on the other side, and there was no sign of an ambush nearby, so they opened the door and let the other party in.
The other party came in and saw Zhu Bai without any indication.
Zhu Bai, who was originally munching on the roast rabbit, looked up at the two of them.
The two men were of medium build, in their thirties. Thin and short, dark and rough skin, slightly hunchbacked.
The official tooth bureau knew that Zhu Bai had certain requirements for his appearance, so the newcomers were carefully selected. It doesn't need to be handsome, but at least it's pleasing to the eye.
These two are certainly not in order.
When the guards closed the door, Zhu Bai raised his chin to the people around him.
A few guards rushed forward and held the two men down.
The other guards silently stood in front of Zhu Bai and Zhu Biao.
The two people who were held down shouted one after another: "Eh, everyone is from the official tooth bureau, why are you so rude." ”
"Catch the wrong person, catch the wrong person, we are our own people."
Zhu Bai glanced at Hu Dafa.
Hu Dafa walked over slowly and said, "Everyone in the Guanya Bureau knows me. Because the first thing a newcomer has to do is to come to the General Administration to report to me. How come I have never met you? ”
The two men hurriedly said, "We're just going to report to you." ”
Hu Dafa sneered: "Fart, try it out in one sentence." If the newcomer wants to report for duty, he must be looking for His Royal Highness the King of Xiang. You don't even know that. ”
Only then did everyone get out of the way, revealing Zhu Bai.
Zhu Bai grinned at them and said, "Tell me, where did you get the seal of my official tooth bureau." Honestly, you can suffer a little less. ”
The two of them still have to deny: "Wronged." We are indeed newcomers to the Changzhou Guanya Bureau. ”
Zhu Bai said: "Solve it with a knife and throw it out of the city wall." Tomorrow morning, I reported to the government, and I said that two thieves came in, and I corrected the law on the spot. ”
Only then did the two people say: "The king of Xiang spares his life." We recruit, we recruit. ”
Hu Dafa sighed in a low voice: "Huh." ”
As far as he knew, the local bandits were all scared by the people escorted by the official tooth bureau.
There are still people who dare to come to death.
The two men said, "We are fishermen by the sea. Held hostage by the Japanese Invaders. ”
"When they heard that the Guanya Bureau was rich, they wanted to rob it, but the post station was too tightly defended, so they robbed and killed two newcomers from the Guanya Bureau, and told us to pretend to sneak in."
Zhu Bai suddenly realized, yes, yes, this post station is the closest post station to the Yangtze River and the estuary.
Remote, close to the mountains and forests, easy to hide.
The Japanese robbed the post station at night, and then quickly retreated to the Yangtze River, got on a boat, and went down the river.
When they found out that this place had been robbed, they had fled to the sea.
The plan of these Japanese robbers is so detailed, they must have come to investigate in advance.
Zhu Bai raised his eyebrows and asked, "How many people are there?" Where are you now. ”
The two: "More than two hundred, hiding in the mountains." Their katana is so powerful and very ferocious. Many of our coastal villages have suffered. Our whole family died. ”
"You can't beat it, I advise you to close the door tightly, they can't attack it, and they will leave tomorrow morning."
When Zhu Biao heard this, a cold sweat broke out on his head. He looked at the more than 100 guards around him, and suddenly felt that it made sense for Lao Zhu to ask him to bring 500 people.
When you start fighting, you know the benefits of having a lot of people.
Zhu Biao: "Don't be hard-hitting, it's better to follow what they say, hold on and wait for them to retreat." ”
Zhu Bai shook his head: "No." These gangsters, who have not been caught by us, will definitely not be reconciled and want to harm the people. I'm not going to let any of them go! ”
Zhu Biao hesitated: "This is true, but we don't have as many people as them." ”
The key is that there are a few people like him who can't fight, such as him, such as Zhu Bai.
Zhu Bai calmly comforted Zhu Biao: "Big brother, don't be afraid, I have a way." Although there are not many of us, we can all shoot big bows and are good at hand-to-hand combat with swords. One as ten. ”
Otherwise, he followed Lao Zhu to the guards for a day that time, and he saw it in vain.
Later, he went many times, selected elite soldiers, and continuously sent them to various official tooth bureau post stations.
Zhu Biao was about to speak, but Zhu Bai turned around and climbed onto the table and shouted in a low voice: "The generals will listen to the order." ”
The others responded in unison: "Yes." ”
Zhu Bai said: "His Royal Highness the Prince's guards only need to protect the prince and hide on the top floor, and the rest of the people will listen to my arrangement." ”
-----
At night, many people came down from the mountains and forests, quietly approached in the darkness, and then surrounded the post station.
According to the agreement, the leader learned the owl call, two short and one long in a group of three sounds, three groups in a row.
After a while, the inside responded, three in a group, two long and one short, two in a row.
This means that it means that it is safe and that the guards have been dealt with.
Then the gate was opened.
More than 200 people with bright knives in their hands swarmed in.
The first to open the door of the building, only to find that the door was closed from the inside, and it could not be shaken at all.
Not only that, but even the windows on the first floor were completely closed.
