Chapter 27 The county magistrate checks the grass

Let's not mention how Erhu and Xiaozhu suffered from whipping after they were kidnapped.

Speaking of the team of 250 people personally commanded by Liu Ziwen, the magistrate of Lucao County, he quickly stepped up, and finally came to the edge of the Taiping Pasture of King Tengger on this day. After encamping on the grassland in the northeastern part of Taiping Village, he met with the king of Tengger and inquired again in detail about the situation, and after analysis and research, it was suspected that the tribute grass was the work of the subcontracted goatee group wrapped around the neck of the camel.

However, even if the goatee gang did it, they probably wouldn't be able to consume it for a while, and it must have been stored on the mountain where the goatee was subcontracted or in some secret place. So, Liu Ziwen asked one of King Tengger's cronies to lead the way and sent the land dragon to investigate the whereabouts of Yangcao.

Lu Long also arrived in Taiping Village, and after he reconnoitred, he didn't get any clues, so he took a letter from the commander of the Green Grass Garrison Zhao and found Princess Wang Lianhua, and asked Wang Lianhua to inquire about the whereabouts of those foreign grasses.

Just now, when Erhu and Xiaozhuzi were kidnapped by Goatee's gang, Wang Lianhua met Lu Long at home.

She took the letter and looked at it, and sure enough, it was the handwriting of her old lover Camp Commander Zhao. Wang Lianhua was shocked! Thinking that this tribute grass has affected the forces of all sides, Kuo Shao, who has just come to the provincial capital on the front foot, wants to buy the grass, and the officials and soldiers on the back foot are here, and it comes so quickly, if this grass is taken away by the officials and soldiers, the old lady will not be able to make any profits. Because Goatee had promised to give her five gold bars if the grass was sold!

So, Wang Lianhua stared at a pair of beautiful big eyes. Glancing at the extraordinary-bearing land dragon, he said, "As a child of King Tengger, this princess is also saddened by the robbery of the tribute grass. However, Director Lu, please rest assured, and besides, there is a letter from my friend Camp Chief Zhao, and I will do my best to inform you as soon as there is any news. ”

After Lu Long took his leave, he stepped on his horse and walked towards the station to the east of Taiping Village. As he was walking on the road, he suddenly noticed that there was not far ahead. There's a sneaky figure touching something outside a big sandbag?

Lu Long waved his hand, and the two of them hurriedly dismounted. Quietly walked towards the big sandbag. Before they could get closer, they saw the sneaky man suddenly stand up and run to a tree with a horse tied not far away. Untied the reins, got on the horse, and ran.

The land dragon was strange. What did the man see in the big sandbag? Why did he run away in a panic? There must be something wrong with it! He led his entourage and quietly approached the tall and long sandbag.

The three of them came to the front, prostrate themselves, and climbed up little by little-"Ah?" When the land dragon saw it, he was startled, and saw that inside the big sandbag was a low-lying flat land, and there were actually more than a dozen tents stationed in it, and in a large elm forest behind the tent were rows of white horses, all of whom were wearing apricot-yellow short, coarse cloth clothes. The style of clothing is similar to that of officers and soldiers, but there are big differences.

Lu Long looked at it for a long time and couldn't figure out who those centaurs were? He gasped! Why are these people secretly stationed here? Who are they? They are not bandits. Second, if they are not officers and soldiers, then they ...... Suddenly, his heart suddenly moved, could they be the peasant rebels?

Thinking of this, Lu Long hurriedly retreated quietly, returned to the place where the horses were parked, turned over on the horse, returned to the station, and walked straight into Liu Ziwen's army tent.

At this time, Liu Ziwen was pacing back and forth anxiously in his big tent. These days, he has been overwhelmed by some things, first of all, his hometown Xiaogushan Mansion has suffered one after another misfortunes, and his mother and brother were killed on the same day, which has already made him, the county magistrate who protects the safety of one party, so ashamed that he has lost face, and he can't even protect his own family, how can he be a good court official in charge of a county? He asked himself more than once in his heart.

In the last few days, he finally put pressure on the housekeeper Ma Jingming, and heard the whereabouts of Zheng Erhu, Xinghua and the old lady, and made careful arrangements and clever deployments, originally planning to attack from three sides and eliminate Zheng Erhu's family in one fell swoop, so as to prevent future troubles. But they all failed, and no one was arrested. Instead, Zheng Erhu was forced to the peasant anti-thief army in Cuiping Mountain, deep in the grassland, which made the grassland eagle like a tiger.

Hehe, a Zheng Erhu can't deal with it. Suddenly, overnight, the green grass land was full of heroes, and even overnight, beards, bandits, and ringing horses sprung up all over all corners of the green grass ridge land, especially the team of the green grass eagle has grown stronger, and has seriously threatened the dominance of the imperial court in the green grass, and those Dongyang Yi people are also coveting the green grass land, and they secretly met with him three years ago and signed a top-secret document......

Liu Ziwen came out of his secret deal with the Dongyang Yi people, and reported all these situations to the imperial court, he originally planned to recruit troops and horses during this period, recuperate, and wait for the imperial court to immediately counterattack as soon as the imperial army's army arrived, and break each one, so that those who dare to openly confront the imperial court will die without a place to be buried!

But at this time, something happened to the ranch of King Tengger's territory, and he had to act in advance to come to the green grass border pass, to fight to the death against the rebels!

Seeing Lu Long enter the big tent, Liu Ziwen returned to his seat and asked, "Is Director Lu back?"

Lu Long hurriedly said: "Back to the county elder, we found the good princess of Camp Chief Zhao in Tianping Village, and she promised to help us with our errands." ”

"Okay!" Liu Ziwen said, "I hope she can help us find the whereabouts of Yangcao." ”

Lu Long said: "There is another situation, on the way back, we found a large sandbag ambush in a large sandbag ten miles east of Taiping Village. ”

"What?" Liu Ziwen was taken aback, and hurriedly asked: "Ten miles away from Taiping Village, it's very close to us, who are they, and how many people are there?"

"There were about two or three hundred men, all cavalrymen, all dressed in apricot-colored short-cut clothes, and all white horses. ”

"Oh, so many people? And the uniform costume, it must not be bandits, bandits don't have that many people. No matter who they are, they may also be coming for the grass, Director Lu sent an order, assemble the team, and set off immediately after an hour, this official wants to see who they are!"

"Yes!" Lu Long agreed, and immediately walked out of the big tent to gather the people.

In a short time, a team of 200 men was assembled at the station. Liu Ziwen left the green grass garrison, and Deputy Battalion Commander Xiao led fifty people to guard the camp, and he personally led the land dragon straight to the big sandbag that hid the secret team.

Less than ten miles away, they rode on their horses and had a good time to the periphery of the great sandbag. Liu Ziwen ordered all the soldiers to get off their horses, divide into four squads, and quietly touch the big sandbag in four different directions...... (To be continued......)
