Chapter Twenty-Nine: Grace with Golden Silk
Looking at the Fang brothers, who were standing on the left and right beside Li Jing, everyone in the "sin" camp swallowed a mouthful of saliva with an extremely loud "goo", and invariably took a few steps back.
"It seems that you have no objection to my handling of these three people in this way?" Li Jing's face turned from gloomy to clear, and he smiled and said, "Now let's get back to the topic and talk about the bandits!"
"Fuck your bandits!" everyone scolded fiercely in their hearts, and at the same time secretly sneered, "What the hell is a boy brother, thinking that with a little ruthlessness and two monster-like followers, he wants us to obey our orders?
Li Jing seemed to see through the thoughts of these people, and said loudly: "Are you not paying attention in your hearts at the moment, thinking about whipping me back on the battlefield? If this is the case, I, Li Jing, will be blamed at most for doing things badly, but you are missing a great fortune in vain!"
"After coercion, there is a temptation, do you really treat us as three-year-old urchins?" thought so in the hearts of most people, and their faces also showed disdain, and naturally no one bothered to ask.
Although he encountered a cold scene, Li Jing didn't seem to feel embarrassed at all, and said to himself: "Just now I only said that I was ordered to take you to suppress the bandits, but I haven't said what kind of group of mountain bandits it is. The group of mountain bandits occupied Jiuyan Mountain, which was 400 miles away, and should be under the jurisdiction of Shansang County. Many people have heard of Shansang County, which is rich in silk and is notoriously rich. Because the former county commander coveted merit, whitewashed the peace, and kept concealing the affairs of the mountain bandits, these mountain bandits have been entrenched in Jiuyan Mountain for five years. In the past five years, how much oil and water they have scraped by relying on that costless business, you can think for yourself!"
"What if there are mountains of gold and silver in Jiuyan Mountain?" someone in the crowd finally spoke, but his tone was still lukewarm, "Those of us who are soldiers sacrifice their lives to wipe out the village, and in the end, the benefits are not in the pockets of you who lead the troops. Tell us some leftovers!"
Li Jing laughed, took out some of the official eunuchs' children, and said proudly: "What I want is only the merit of suppressing bandits, so that I can return to Your Majesty." It's just a golden silk, but I haven't seen it yet. If you are willing to work hard, I can swear here, after the extermination of the bandits, all the seizures will not be taken at all, and all the merits will be distributed to you according to the size of their respective merits!"
As soon as these words came out, the breathing of everyone in the camp became a little heavier. Another man dressed in the team's armor asked in disbelief, "Is what Li Gongzi said true?"
Li Jing pointed his finger at heaven and said: "If you violate this statement, the heavens will not bless you!" But ugly words must be said in front, once you are under my command, you must listen to him wholeheartedly, and you must not discount him at all. If someone plays the trick of yang and yin, two sides and three swords...... Hey, my sword is not afraid to kill!"
The man groaned slightly, gritted his teeth and shouted: "Since Li Gongzi's fists are hard and willing to pay the capital, our team of brothers is willing to put their lives in the hands of Gongzi!" After saying that, he took more than 20 people behind him to bow down to Li Jing.
"We are also willing to be driven by Li Gongzi!"
"I'm willing to wait!"
"I'm willing to wait!"
......
Looking at the camp with the word "sin" that finally fell down on the training ground, Li Jing turned his head and asked, "Brother Yin, how is it?"
Yin Rui, who had always had some doubts about Li Jing's approach, arched his hand and said: "Ruined and served!"
Li Jing's actions in the camp of the word "evil" were soon transmitted to the palace and the palace of Master Wentai. Di Yi just shook his head and laughed when he heard this, but Wen Zhong laughed and scolded on the spot: "How did Li Bingzhi, an honest man, give birth to such a gangster son!"
After Li Jing put the camp in order, he immediately set up troops and rushed to Jiuyan Mountain to suppress the bandits. Along the way, a grain and salary were supplied by the states and counties along the way, and it was not a day before arriving in Shansang County.
Zhao Xiang, the newly appointed commander of Shansang County, is regarded as a member of the incorruptible official and capable minister, and after taking office, he ignored the generous gifts of the previous county commander and the intimidation and threat of the bandits in Jiuyan Mountain, and reported the matter of the mountain bandits long ago, and hoped day and night that the imperial court would come to eradicate the bandits and return Shansang County to a peaceful world. Today, I heard that the imperial army had finally arrived, and I was overjoyed to personally go to the county border to greet me. When I saw that the so-called "army" was only 500 people, and the leader of the army was still a teenager in his teens, his heart was half cold.
But people have already come, and the reception still needs to be received. Li Jing ordered the "sin" word camp to be stationed outside the county seat, and naturally someone took wine and meat to treat them, and left Fang Bi and Fang Xiang in the camp to sit in the town, and he himself took Yin Rui and Zhao Xiang into the city.
Zhao Xiang set up a banquet in the back hall of the county ya, and asked about Li Jing's origin at the banquet. Li Jing did not hide it, and calmly told the reasons before and after. When Zhao Xiang heard that Emperor Yi had taken the suppression of bandits, which was related to the peace of a county, as a topic to test the young man in front of him, he couldn't help but slander the always wise Majesty.
Li Jing saw that the county magistrate with a strong smile was actually worried, but he didn't explain, and instead asked about the details of Jiuyan Mountain.
Zhao Xiang is indeed capable, although he has not been in office for a long time, he has done his homework and explored the bottom of Jiuyan Mountain very clearly. According to him, there were three bandits on Jiuyan Mountain, named Luo Xianping, Yao Tianfeng, and Kou Gui. All three of them have extraordinary martial arts, and after several years of accumulation, they have gathered more than 3,000 outlaws on the mountain. Nowadays, Jiuyan Mountain has rarely gone down the mountain to plunder, with the great ferocity established in the past few years, the rich families in the towns and villages of Shansang County have to send people up the mountain to pay heavy money every month, which is called "Taiping Gold". Although the bandits who went up the mountain no longer harassed them, the bandits were fierce and stubborn, and the behavior of bullying men and women was always indispensable.
Speaking of this, Zhao Xiang couldn't help but be angry, hating his predecessor, if it weren't for his initial indulgence and later cover-up, why would the bandits in Jiuyan Mountain be rampant to such a situation?
Li Jing smiled and comforted: "Your county doesn't need to be angry, Your Majesty was furious when he learned about this, and he has already issued a decree to punish your predecessor county commander to death." Now that Li Jing has led his troops here, he will definitely eradicate this bandit in one fell swoop, so that Li Shu in Shansang County can be peaceful. ”
"It's thanks to Li Gongzi that such a thing," although Zhao Xiang was worried in his heart, he had to make a gesture of gratitude, raised his glass to Li Jing, and asked tentatively, "Although the five hundred men led by Li Gongzi are the elite division of the imperial court, there are three thousand mountain bandits, and they have the danger of the terrain of the cottage. Although the official is in the place, he has also heard of the name of the 'prodigy' of the son's civil and military skills, and thinks that he has set up a good strategy to break the thief. I don't know if the son's plan will be released, can I use my own officer's service?"
"He is a thief and a grass thief, and I am a dignified king, why do you need to use any strategy?" Li Jing raised his glass and drank it all, and said casually, "Tomorrow the mountain will fight in battle, push all the way over, capture and kill the bandits, and raze the cottage!"
