Datang Nongwang

Chapter 614

Dare to rob the county government office, that is not an ordinary audacious act.

As far as Li Chongyuan knew, bandits who dared to rob the county government rarely appeared during this period of time, unless it was during times of war, or when the people were forced to die, or were starved to death. If you can't survive, you will be able to go up the mountain to become a bandit, and then attack the county town regardless of life and death.

of course.

This does not rule out that kind of emergency, such as the peasant uprising.

Various uprisings in ancient times can be described as endless.

Regardless of whether it was a peasant uprising or an uprising by someone with a heart, in short, in the long history of China, uprisings can be described as varied and emerge in endlessly.

And when Li Chongyuan heard what the guy said, the bandits in Zhongnan Mountain were planning to rob the county government, this made Li Chongyuan really unbelievable, or he felt that the guy was telling a story.

The clerk looked at Li Chongyuan and nodded with certainty, "Guest officer does not know that a group of extremely fierce bandits came to Zhongnan Mountain recently. As far as I know, the leader of that group of fierce bandits is still A woman. It is said that this woman likes to kill officials the most, as long as they are officials, she will kill one by one. Moreover, I also heard that the gang of bandits cannibalize people."

Huh.

When Li Chongyuan heard what the man said, he felt that the man was going to talk about these bandits to the sky.

Kill officials and eat people.

How could this kind of thing happen so often.

You said that you occasionally kill an official, which is understandable.

But if you kill an official when you see one, then all the officials in the world will die long ago.

Besides, they cannibalize people.

This is even more impossible.

but.

When Li Chongyuan heard that the leader of the bandits was a woman, the so-called aunt he met in Zhongnan Mountain two years ago suddenly appeared in his mind.

'Could it be the people from Qingfengzhai who came back? '

According to Li Chongyuan's interrogation of the group of bandits he met when he came to Xixiang last year, all the people in Qingfengzhai had already gone towards Liangdang County under their interrogation.

And after a lapse of a year, did the people from Qingfengzhai come back?
Li Chongyuan was extremely suspicious that the group of bandits that the guy said were from Qingfengzhai.

because.

He, Li Chongyuan, asked about the bandits he had met in the past year. Among the bandits in Zhongnan Mountain, only Qingfeng Village was dominated by women, and there were basically no others.

of course.

This does not rule out that this group of bandits came to Zhongnan Mountain from elsewhere.

after all.

Zhongnan Mountain can be described as a sad mountain for Asuka.

Even the court of the Tang Dynasty, which has a strong military capability, is far behind the bandits in Zhongnan Mountain, and there is nothing they can do about it.

"Do you know the name of the leader of that group of bandits?" Li Chongyuan suspected that the group of bandits was Qingfeng Village, and asked anxiously.

The clerk shook his head, "I don't know about this little one. Guest officer, seeing that you have just come to our Huayang County, I kindly remind you. Guest officer, it is best to leave Huayang County as soon as possible within a day or two. After a heavy snowfall, it will be difficult for you, guest officer, to leave. Moreover, if those bandits really attacked the Huayang county government, someone like guest officer, who knows his status at a glance, must be what they want The object of robbery."

Li Chongyuan glanced at himself up and down, but he didn't realize that he could see nobility.

Whether it is the clothes I wear or how I dress up, I am basically the same as those merchants.

How come in the eyes of this guy, he has become a distinguished person.

but.

When Li Chongyuan saw Xingba and the others, he knew the reason.

Although the attire of Xing Ba and the others is similar to Li Chongyuan's, whether it's in spirit or in the way they guard Li Chongyuan, they all give off the appearance of a soldier.

and.

Wherever Li Chongyuan went, Xingba and the others would follow him.

Even in this guest house, as soon as Li Chongyuan leaves the room, Xingba and the others will follow Li Chongyuan inseparably.

And all of this is probably the origin of the phrase "noble status" among the guys.

"Thank you for your warning, brother. However, we are in the mountain goods business in Huayang County. If those mountain bandits really met us, they wouldn't embarrass us." Li Chongyuan said with a suitable excuse.

Also really.

There are many mountain products in Huayang County.

From animals to plants to fungi, there are countless.

When Li Chongyuan started his inspections, he used the name of collecting mountain goods to walk outside, and Huayang County was no exception.

After the man heard the words, he still dissuaded him.

However, Li Chongyuan smiled and didn't care.

Subsequently.

Li Chongyuan inquired about other situations of Huayang County with the buddy. After chatting for nearly half an hour, Li Chongyuan finally ended the inquiry.

Before the clerk left Li Chongyuan's room, Li Chongyuan rewarded the clerk with a Tongtong coin again.

And this consistent copper coin made the guy speak out again to dissuade Li Chongyuan from leaving Huayang County as soon as possible.

afterwards.

A dozen or so people from Li Chongyuan were nestled in the room, talking softly about what they had heard from the guy.

until late at night.

Everyone went back to their room to rest.

Xing Ba and others left, but Tang Li and Liu Xiang stayed in the room.

During the past month of inspections, Li Chongyuan never slept in a room alone, and was always accompanied by Tang Li and Liu Xiang.

The two euphemistically said that they were protecting Li Chongyuan.

And Li Chongyuan said it a few times, but these two people are still like me, no matter how earnestly persuaded by Li Chongyuan, the little man, they just don't leave Li Chongyuan's room.

Ok.

Anyway, Li Chongyuan is already used to it.

I am used to sleeping in the same room with two big men, but fortunately not in the same bed.

Otherwise, Li Chongyuan's reputation would probably be discredited with the name of a broken sleeve.

early morning.

It's getting colder again.

After Li Chongyuan got up, he left the gate of the guest house, stood by the side of the street, looked at the streets of Huayang County, and looked at the few people who were in a hurry.

The weather was cold, and the people in the city began to be less willing to go to the streets.

Even the common people who do work are unwilling to walk around in such a cold season.

When the weather is cold and the clothes on his body are thin, even if he has work to do, he still can't resist the cold outside.

If it snows heavily, the coldness will be even worse.

therefore.

In this era, when the weather is cold, few people are willing to go out, and basically stay at home to keep warm, even the poorest people.

At least.

This is the case in Li Chongyuan's impression.

Just like the villagers in Lizhuang, before Li Chongyuan developed Lizhuang, all the villagers were like this, even if they were poor.

The street looked deserted.

This made Li Chongyuan start to believe that what the buddy said last night was about the bandits planning to rob the county government.

because.

The desertedness of Huayang County can no longer be described in words.

in the next few days.

Li Chongyuan visited everywhere, from the city to the outside.

but.

However, Li Chongyuan did not check out of that inn, he would still rush back to the city from outside the city every day, and stay in that inn.

And a few days down.

In Huayang County, it was even more deserted than when Li Chongyuan arrived that day.

even.

In the evening, Huayang County will close the city gate in advance, and even send a large number of government officials to patrol.

As for the city defense, it is natural that the recorder of Huayang County joined the army to supervise it.

one evening.

Li Chongyuan and his group returned to Huayang County by stepping on the half-closed city gate. After seeing the more frequent patrols by the government officials, Li Chongyuan felt that the situation in Huayang County might be really different from what the guy said. Inseparable.

At least.

In Li Chongyuan's mind, he had never heard of the need for yamen to patrol at night.

This was also the first time Li Chongyuan saw him.

Inside the guest house.

Li Chongyuan called everyone over, "In the past few days, you have also seen it. It seems that Huayang County is really different from what we imagined. Although the local clans are not so powerful, but this mountain The bandits made the entire Huayang County feel like they were facing a big enemy. What do you think about this matter?"

"Xiao Langjun, bandits, if they really dared to attack the county, although there are some, they would definitely not kill them. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable. Therefore, I think this matter may just be the rumors of those bandits. , so that they can rob other places." Xing Ba was the first to express his thoughts.

After hearing this, Xiang Ba also said: "In my opinion, this bandit dared to make such a rumor, and didn't the guy say that. The leader of that gang of bandits likes to kill officials the most, and we In the next year, I found out, saw, and heard, and I think this matter should be true."

"Xiao Langjun, in my opinion, there has been a lot of movement in the county government recently. Tomorrow we should not go out of the city again, and stay in the guest house to prevent accidents." Tang Li worried that Li Chongyuan would still go out of the city to inspect tomorrow.

You say what I say, and everyone has their own opinions.

But Li Chongyuan has his own plan.

There is a bandit in this gang who is headed by a woman. Li Chongyuan very much suspects that it is Qingfengzhai led by his aunt.

It has been so long, Li Chongyuan has been looking for them.

but.

However, they seemed to have disappeared into this world, and only inquired about the news in the direction of Liangdang County.

And now.

After finally getting some news, it is absolutely impossible for Li Chongyuan to sit in the guest house and not look for it.

Li Chongyuan pressed his hands to the crowd and said: "I don't think we need to make a fuss about this matter. It's just bandits. Are you still afraid? Besides, why are we here in Huayang County, isn't it? Come to investigate the situation. If you have the opportunity to pacify the bandits in Huayang County, you will do a good deed for the people. Besides, the firecrackers in your hands are not fire sticks. As long as those bandits dare to Attack Huayang County, then try the firecrackers in your hands to see if these bandits are made of iron, or if the firecrackers are fire sticks."

"Xiao Langjun, we are not afraid, but we are afraid that Xiao Langjun will make a mistake." Xiang Ba said worriedly.

Xiang Ba was worried, and so were the others.

Li Chongyuan understands their thoughts and their worries.

But Li Chongyuan made up his mind, he must meet the bandits for a while, "Okay, let me take care of this matter. Tomorrow, let's go to the north of the city to have a look. You guys should check your guns tonight. But don't be dumb at that time."

Li Chongyuan spoke, and he was determined.

Everyone knows that there are few people who can listen to Li Chongyuan's opinions on what Li Chongyuan is going to do.

Everyone had no choice but to follow Li Chongyuan's words and start checking the firecrackers and gunpowder.

There are not many firecrackers, only eight.

And these eight are also Li Chongyuan's only eight.

Li Chongyuan really wanted Old Xu's family to do more, but it's really not that easy to make this hundred steel smelting, so so far, Li Chongyuan only has these eight firecrackers in his hands.

The next morning.

When Li Chongyuan and his party were just about to leave the inn, the guy hurried over after seeing Li Chongyuan and the others, "Guest officer, are you going out of the city again? This is not allowed. I just heard that the city gate is closed today. I got the news that bandits might attack the city today."

"Oh? Are you serious?" Li Chongyuan was a little surprised when he heard the guy's words.

The guy nodded, "Guest officer, I advise you not to leave the guest house today, my boss will also close the guest house later."

"That can't be done. Yesterday we had an agreement with the people in a village. If you don't go to see Shanhuo today, it would be a slip of the tongue. People who do business talk about integrity. If the integrity is gone , If I want to do business in the future, then I will have nowhere to go." Li Chongyuan continued his excuse.

After Li Chongyuan finished speaking, he stopped listening to the boy's dissuasion, and led Xingba and the others to the north of the city.

When Li Chongyuan and his group came to the north gate, they really saw that the city gate was closed tightly, and there were quite a few government servants guarding it.

Li Chongyuan waved to Xiang Ba.

Although Xiang Ba was a little reluctant, he knew that he couldn't persuade Li Chongyuan, so he could only walk towards the city gate.

After a while.

Xiang Ba returned, "Xiao Langjun, they will open the city gate in a while, but they said that they will not open it again in the evening."

"Let's go, let's talk about it after leaving the city. As for the matter in the evening, we will talk about it in the evening." Li Chongyuan didn't care at all.

If you really can't come back in the evening, then find a village to settle down.

And Xiang Ba went to negotiate with those government officials, nothing more than using money to clear the way.

Li Chongyuan would not disclose his identity, if he did, then the meaning of his patrol would be lost.

Li Chongyuan kept in mind the matter of taking money to let those yamen servants open the city gate, and he will deal with it after the inspection is over.

induce another to commit a crime.

Li Chongyuan didn't have this concept.

As an official, if he can't resist even a little temptation, then he is not qualified to be this official or this official.

After a group of more than a dozen people left the city, the north gate was closed again heavily.

Li Chongyuan glanced back at the city defense army on the top of the city, shook his head helplessly, and let out a long sigh.

The city defense army on the top of the city watched Li Chongyuan and the others head north of the city indifferently, muttering something.

They were saying that Li Chongyuan and his party were looking for death.

Some people also said that Li Chongyuan and the others were asking for money rather than their lives, and they even cared about their lives for ordering mountain goods.
