Che Chi Guo.

The national strength is not strong, the country is not large, and the population is not large.

However, due to the fact that it occupies a battleground for soldiers and is surrounded by several large countries, it has been in war for many years. (Referring to the topography and situation of the ancient Cheshuai country)

Xuanyang City, on the other hand, is a small border town in Chechiguo.

Although the town is small, it is also a line of defense against foreign enemies.

So even in small towns, there are two thousand guards.

Of course, these two thousand guards are not for war, but for decoration, to let people know, 'All right, you have come to our land.'"

After all, they are no match for any of the great powers.

Therefore, if a big country comes to invade, they usually negotiate in the form of reception.

Whoever is strong, they are attached to.

After so many years, Che Chiguo has survived in this way.

The reason why so many people who do military service 'disappear' every year is because every time there is a good harvest, there are so many 'horse thieves' that they have to go to war.

As for who the horse thief is, he knows everything, so he doesn't need to say more.

And these two thousand guards are all in the hands of one person, that is, Ma Bijin, the magistrate of Xuanyang City. These two thousand guards can be said to be Ma Bijin's means of saving his life, so he will not be dispatched easily.

No one will be so blind to ask him to use it.

But today I happened to meet such an eyeless guy, that is Huang Fugui.

As soon as he came to the county governor's mansion, Huang Fugui informed Ma Bijin of his plan.

It is to use human lives to pile up, and use these two thousand guards to give the monster a head, so as to achieve the effect of luring out the immortal family.

And if Ma Bijin is strong, as long as he is willing to agree, he will give him half of the family property.

Ma Bijin rejected Huang Fugui without hesitation.

It's not that he cares much about the lives of the guards.

It's that he cares more about himself.

It's not him who is the monster scourge, why did he send troops?

The guards are dead, what if they can't lure the immortals to deal with the monsters?

The guard is dead, what if another great power comes to attack him?

What if there is a horse thief?

Isn't it meat on the chopping block?

Moreover, after the death of 2,000 guards, it is not easy for the court to explain?

So let alone half of Huang Fugui's family property, even if Huang Fugui gave him all his family property, he would not be able to agree.

But who knows, this Huang Fugui was unyielding, and even threatened him: "My lord, although he is just a businessman, he has been in business for many years, and the court still has some connections." If you let the monsters oppress the good people but turn a blind eye, you have to entrust your friends and sue the emperor! ”

Ma Bi snapped vigorously and slapped the table: "Bastard!" How dare you threaten this official?! ”

Huang Fugui bowed his head and arched his hand, but he didn't seem to be apologizing at all: "My lord, please also ask the adults to sympathize with the little people who have just experienced the pain of losing their son, so they were confused for a moment and said something offensive." But...... If the adults are unwilling to make decisions for the small people, then the adults will not blame the small people for offending. ”

"Humph! Aren't you afraid that this official will take you down now?! ”

"Adults don't have to worry about small people. Before coming to visit the adults, Xiaomin had already repaired a book and ordered it to be sent to a friend in the imperial court. If Xiaomin doesn't reply within a month, the matter here will naturally reach the heavens. ”

"You're ......!!"

Ma Bijin was so angry with Huang Fugui that he couldn't speak.

And at this time, the voice of the servant of the county government suddenly came from afar: "My lord, the county lord asks to see you!" ”

Ma Bijin was silent for a moment, glared at Huang Fugui fiercely, and then ordered: "Let him in!" ”

It didn't take long.

The county man hurriedly walked in: "It's terrible~ It's terrible~ My lord!" ”

After the county came in, he was obviously stunned when he saw Huang Fugui.

Ma Bijin said impatiently: "Hmph, panicked, what's the matter?" ”

The county Cheng glanced at Huang Fugui.

Ma Bijin motioned to him with his eyes and said directly, there is no need to avoid taboos.

"My lord, it's amazing! It turns out that there are really monsters in Lijia Village! And not one, it's three! ”

After Ma Bijin and Huang Fugui heard this, they inadvertently glanced at each other.

However, Ma Bijin did not interrupt the county Cheng, and even motioned to the county Cheng to continue.

Because he knows very well that the county is a person who sacrifices his life like him.

If it was just a problem of Lijia Village, the county would definitely not make a fuss in front of him.

"My lord, Xia Guan originally thought that if there are monsters, there will be monsters, anyway, Lijia Village is still some distance away from Xuanyang City. Aren't those youkai going to plague nearby villages at most? But just now the township tribute of Lijia Village came to visit Xiaguan, and Xiaguan learned a terrible news!

It turned out that those three monsters were planning to keep the entire Lijia Village in captivity and use them as reserve food!

And what's even more inhumane is that those monsters like to eat scholars, so they force the entire village to read and write, even the old and weak women and children! ”

Hearing that monsters like to eat scholars, Ma Bijin stood up in shock!

Seeing his big reaction, Huang Fugui mocked with disdain: "Heh, those three monsters, Xiaomin has seen them with his own eyes." Each one was like two or three big men. It's good if they eat one meal a day. Three a day. Lijia Village is full of four or five hundred people. My lord, I'm afraid Lijia Village won't be enough for them to eat for two years~ My lord, you are knowledgeable and talented, and when the time comes, I don't know if you will follow in the footsteps of Lijia Village......"

Both of them knew very well in their hearts that this was not how the numbers were counted.

After all, those three monsters may eat nine meals a day, or they may occasionally eat other foods to taste, and they are more likely to dislike the villagers for being skinny and eat a few more.

But no matter which possibility it is, the villagers of Lijia Village will always have a day when they finish eating.

In other words, sooner or later, they will have to face the threat of youkai.

Ma Bijin stared at the county Cheng with vicious eyes: "Is this true? ”

The county man hurriedly nodded: "What the lower officials said is true!" The township tribute officials of Lijia Village also had some impressions. In the past, although his skin was sallow, he still had the vigor that a young man should have. But when the lower officials saw him today, they were not only much haggard, but also lost their bearing. Xia Guan believed that it must be the monsters who kept squeezing them. It can be seen that the youkai really just treat them as homebirds! ”

Ma Bijin took a deep breath.

There was a moment of silence: "Okay, you can step aside." This matter will be dealt with by this official. ”

The county respectfully stepped back.

Subsequently, in the huge hall of the county magistrate's mansion, only Ma Bijin and Huang Fugui were left.

Huang Fugui looked at Ma Bijin with a smile.

Ma Bijin glared at him for a long time, and then said: "This official can send troops, but the reward you promised cannot be less!" And you have to pay upfront! This officer must do a good job of recruiting troops before sending troops! ”

Huang Fugui raised his head and said with a smile: "It should be here." ”
