Chapter 17 The Prefect of Youzhou Province

Wang Er Mazi dragged his injured body and stood in front of his house, compared to other villagers hiding in their homes and shivering, Wang Er Mazi didn't care.

He believed that this gang of robbers was much better than the officers and soldiers, to be precise.

Have you ever seen a rogue leader appear in front of an officer and soldier on his own?

Do you see a rogue leader standing up to protect the villagers?

The officers and soldiers who have always been supposed to protect the villagers are in the village, burning, killing and looting, killing the good and risking their merits, but the so-called rogue is releasing food to save people, which is really ironic!

"This is for me?"

Wang Er Mazi stared blankly at the bag of rice and some money in front of his house.

The most important thing is that the soldier also threw down a steel knife when he left.

Looking at all this in front of him, Wang Er Mazi's face was full of confusion, if you want to say give food, it is understandable that he occasionally sends some kindness, and will leave some rations for the people, for fear that the people will starve to death.

But giving money is something that has never been heard of before.

Since ancient times, only the government has collected taxes from the people, and where the government has distributed money to the people, this is simply unheard of and unheard of.

And a steel knife thrown down casually was even more unexpected than everyone expected.

You must know that in the eyes of the government, steel knives are military materials, and ordinary people are not allowed to have them, and even in the strictest time, a kitchen knife should be used by a village of people in turn.

It's just madness.

"That's right, this is for you, Lord Chen Zhang said, although the disaster suffered by your Wangjia Village this time was not caused by us, but after all, it was because we robbed the army of the army, so we also have some responsibilities, the food is for you to live, and the money is to compensate you for your losses, as for this steel knife"

The soldier retracted his gaze from the steel knife on the ground.

"Lord Chen Zhang said, friends are coming, there are flowers, enemies are coming, and there are steel knives, the reason why your Wangjia Village suffered a catastrophe is because there is no steel knife in your hand, you can only be slaughtered by others!"

"Remember, in this world, it is better to rely on heaven and earth, it is better to rely on yourself, and life is worry-free with a steel knife in hand!"

Although the soldier didn't know the specific meaning of this sentence, he said it casually, and at the same time praised in his heart that Lord Chen Zhang was worthy of being an adult, and the words he said were all blurted out, and he was indeed a cultural person.

Friends came, there were flowers.

The enemy is coming, there are steel knives.

Steel knife in hand, life worry-free.

As a native farmer, he had never told him such a truth, his eyes flashed, he lowered his head, and did not notice the departure of the soldier at all, like a lightning strike.

The money, food, and steel knife on the ground, without any hesitation, stretched out his hand, and held the steel knife in his hand, the rusty and heavy steel knife exuded a cold light, but there was a flame burning wildly in his heart.

Something like this is happening in every household in Wangjia Village.

Some gladly accepted, some were terrified, some did not even open the door, and many took back the money and food, and threw the knife aside, not daring to touch it.

Chen Zhang didn't care about all this, but was complacent.

"Yes, yes, my plan is really very good, although this time the officers and soldiers stationed in Wangjia Village will be solved by mistake, but in general, it is still good."

"A large amount of money obtained was distributed to the villagers, although there were left, but not much, the same is true of weapons and equipment, plus the elimination of officers and soldiers attracted the hatred of the officers and soldiers, and also let the officers and soldiers go, I believe that it will not be long before the government will know about this matter, and when the time comes, send a large army to suppress the formation, I want to die It is like a play"

Chen Zhang thought beautifully, his eyes were shining, looking at the jubilant stone Zhao Zhi and the many soldiers below, he had some unbearability in his heart, and shook his head.

"No matter what, these people who follow me are innocent, it doesn't matter, if the army is overwhelmed, it's a big deal that I can go out alone in advance and fight alone, and find an excuse for Shi and Zhao Zhi to leave with the soldiers"

"After all, in these years, it is already very difficult for people to survive in the chaos, and I am not a savior."

Putting aside the cranky thoughts in his mind, Chen Zhang leisurely returned to his chair again and stretched out for a long time.

He likes to be lazy when he has nothing to do, and he doesn't have much desire, and his biggest wish is only one, that is, to return to reality as soon as possible.

Liu Fucai stood aside respectfully and was frightened, but what appeared in his dark eyes was doubt.

He really felt very strange.

He had never seen a commander and lord like Chen Zhang.

Other lords, even like Wang Dewen, will hold all the money and personnel arrangements in their own hands, afraid of being seized power.

But the Chen Zhang in front of him is completely different, he doesn't seem to have any interest in military power at all, not even money.

The things he got were distributed to the people and ordinary soldiers casually, and even the two sets of armor that could save his life were given to his subordinates casually, such a person is simply a weirdo!

The soldiers led by Chen Zhang were stationed in Wangjia Village for two days, and after everything was dealt with, they were ready to leave.

Unexpectedly, there were some young people in Wangjia Village who strongly asked to join Chen Zhang's team.

As a last resort, some more people were accommodated, and the number reached 300, and they headed towards Ninghai County set by Chen Zhang.

Youzhou Road, Jinnan Province

As the largest city in Youzhou Province, Jinnan Province is in charge of all the cities and county seats in the entire Youzhou Province, and is the capital city directly under the central government.

In charge of all this is the prefect of Jinnan Prefecture!

The prefect of Jinnan Prefecture was a middle-aged man dressed in literati costumes, with a handsome face and full of majesty.

At the moment, he was sitting in front of the mahogany furniture in his house, and a tea set was placed in front of him.

The young maid on the side was gently brewing tea for him, and he picked up the white teacup and took two sips gently, frowning slightly

He likes to drink tea, this feeling is light and fragrant, gentle and elegant, gentle and elegant, this is what the literati pursue.

"Your Excellency, there have been three incidents of rebellion and four incidents of rebellion by the people near Youzhou Road, and a general has been sent to encircle and suppress it!"

The master respectfully reported today's work on the side.

"These damned untouchables, it is already a divine favor to be able to keep them alive, and it is ridiculous not to pay taxes obediently, and to find any excuse to evade taxes every day, and I don't want to think about it, if they don't pay taxes, how does the country work, and where does the officials' money come from? Without the protection of our officials, they know what to do, and they dare to make trouble, it is simply looking for death"

The prefect Yang Deqiang had a sneer on the corner of his mouth, as literati, they thought that they were the masters, and the ordinary people below them were just untouchables, and they were bullied as they could.

You just need to be obedient, and if you have any dissatisfaction, you can kill the people.

"Prefect, what are you talking about?"

"The prefect has died for the entire Youzhou Road, these untouchables are not only not grateful to Dade, but they slander the adults everywhere, they are a group of white-eyed wolves who can't be raised."

The master bowed his head respectfully, and blurted out the words of sycophancy, saying that he laughed when he learned the house.

"Lord Prefect, Lord Prefect is not good"

As he spoke, a servant rushed in quickly, with a hint of panic and panic on his face.

"Speak quietly, what happened to make you stumble like this, how many times have I told you, the sky is falling and there is an old man's nest on top, what are you anxious about here? No sense of proportion or manners"

The prefect Yang Deqiang said coldly, and dropped the teacup on the table heavily, frightening the official who came to report the news, and knelt down, his legs trembling.

The prefect is in a high position and power, and he can kill him with a single word.

"Okay, weren't you still in a hurry just now? Say, what the hell is going on"

Working in the prefect's yamen, everyone has some relationships.

This official and the master are also related to each other, and the master does not look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, so he has to help him

With the master's steps, the prefect nodded slightly, and borrowed the donkey's eyes to be half-opened.

"Say, what's wrong"

"Lord Prefect, we have received the latest battle report, there is a rebellion in Wangjia Village, and Wang Shen of Wangjia Village will be killed by Liukou!"

What?

Wang Shen will be killed by the Liukou?

What you say is true.

Yang De, who was originally unfazed, raised his head violently, a striking light appeared in his eyes, stood up, and a terrifying aura of superiority spread out.

"It's true, this is a letter from the officers and soldiers who fled back, it is said that the leader of the rogue is called Chen Zhang, who is very powerful, and has the power to be a man and a man."

"The leader of the rogues, Chen Zhang, this is the chaotic people who ran out of there again"

The prefect Yang Deqiang's face was so gloomy that he could almost drip water.

"Also, who is General Wang stationed in Wangjia Village?"

He thought about it for a long time, but he didn't think out who General Wang was in his mind.

When the master on the side heard this, he hurriedly whispered.

"Do you know my lord, I remember that this Wang Counselor General donated money to you a few months ago to buy a person who was qualified to join the army, originally a gangster in the city, according to the entanglement, a group of people bought a general qualification, but also did some tasks, exterminated some rogues and rebels, and also contributed to the adult"

I see.

Yang Deqiang, who was still nervous, relaxed when he heard this.

A general who bought with money.

What does this mean?

It shows that this Wang Devin is a money spender at all!

didn't have much strength, tangled up a gang of gangsters, saying that they were officers and soldiers, but in fact they were ruffians and hooligans, a group of rabble.

Don't be afraid.

"I remember"

Yang Deqiang, the prefect who had returned to a leisurely state, picked up the teacup again and took a sip gently.

He thought it was the officers and soldiers who had been killed, but the matter was very, very serious.

But now that he was killed by spending money to join the army, this nature is much less.

After all, the army that was bought with money actually only reported to his prefect.

The military headquarters above didn't even say Wang Dewen's name.

To put it bluntly, it's a group of supernumerary people.

Dead is dead.

It doesn't hurt at all.
