Delong

Chapter 51

The attack on the mountain really broke out, and there was no suspense.

In the evening, the Jinyi Dogs, who were the eagle dogs of the imperial court, launched a surprise attack, easily taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the valley and rushing into the mountain gate.At the same time, the female inspector lurking in the village of the valley was even more powerful. She slashed the flag with a single knife, kicked down four or five heroes who were obviously leaders or small leaders, and then the entire village Leak thousands of miles.

But this is enough to make people doubtful, because there are no military masters as imagined, and there is no hard battle, or even a chaotic battle. There are not even a few better weapons.

If I had to make an inappropriate analogy, it would be to charge up a blow and hit empty, and then instinctively become suspicious.

However, this doubt only appeared on Zhang Xing and Bai Yousi, and they did not show it.

"People are not here, but they did come."

Just a moment later, at the chaotic Juyi Hall in the cottage, Li Qingchen came back with a kind of excited expression. "I asked a few people who were quite articulate, and they said that three or four days ago, suddenly a middle-aged man in brocade clothes, white and fat, but in a state of distress came from the northwest and met their village master surnamed Xu. The owner of the village was also very polite to this person. After resting for a day, the two of them changed their clothes together at noon yesterday. In the evening, another tall middle-aged man with dark circles came over, hurriedly found the village, reported the name of the village owner, and said that he was on the way with a friend who came before. The time and characteristics are all right, Han Shixiong must be the first one to come, and Li Ding must be the one behind!"

At this point, Li Qingchen shook his head again and again, and sighed: "Inspector, you and Zhang Sanlang are so good at letting the tiger go back to the mountain, we actually came after Li Ding... No wonder Zhang Sanlang spent the whole night with Li Ding. What is the general trend of the world, the two heads are bumping together."

As soon as this remark came out, Qian Tang sighed slightly, but looked at Zhang Xing with a somewhat complicated expression on his face, even Qin Bao looked at Zhang Xing with some doubts, but Zhang Xing just had no expression on his face - what a dog Let the tiger go back to the mountain? !
He really didn't know that Li Ding came here, let alone that Li Ding knew where Han Shixiong was staying!He really thinks that Li Ding is very sincere, capable and able to deal with him!Coupled with the hypocrisy in my heart, the moral cleanliness and self-esteem from the time traveler, I chose the drama of "Yi Shi Li Ding"!

But the question is, what can you say at this time?
Suppressing the churning in his heart, Zhang Xing looked at Bai Yousi who was also expressionless.

Bai Yousi's reaction was obviously bigger than his. The inspector Bai, who is known for being good at making decisions, was silent for a long time, but finally he made a sharp decision with the long sword in his hand:

"No matter what, Han Shixiong is on the road ahead, only one day's journey away...I will go after him now and make sure to capture him alive before he enters Nanyang! If he can't be captured alive, I will bring his head back!"

Saying that, this female inspector, who is probably the top three in Jing'an Terrace, jumped up directly, leaving no room for anyone to speak or react, and disappeared into the newly rising twilight with a stream of light .

Obviously, this old lady has lost her temper.

"How to deal with the copycats and bandits?!"

Since Bai Yousi was walking in the air, the Juyi hall was quiet for a while before he could make a sound, which was in stark contrast to the din outside. As for the one who spoke first, of course it was Qian Tang who had a higher position. "I see many women and children inside."

"Just do what you want." Li Qingchen was a little impatient. "Set it up, eat a meal, save the resistance, and then call the magistrate, what does it have to do with us?"

"It's so simple?" Qian Tang retorted immediately. "Should the Jinwu Guards of the Western Capital, who have committed crimes and meritorious service, be restrained? Should they be rewarded and compensated after being restrained? It's easy to go hungry, but what if there are women and children who can't hold on? How to deal with the wounded? If someone realizes that the inspection is leaving, the rest of us It's not that they are incomparable, so what if they join forces to resist in private?"

After some questioning, Li Qingchen was also embarrassing.

"These things are not something I can take care of alone." Qian Tang said a little angrily. "We have to make a decision together, and we need to be quicker. You don't have to call everyone else, just seven or eight people here in Juyi Hall..."

The people around frowned a little. No matter what, when Bai Yousi was around, they didn't need to take responsibility anyway, but they really understood that there was nothing they could escape at this time.

However, everyone is in the same patrol team after all, and those who are used to that old lady Qingtian can guess one or two tendencies, even if they disagree in their hearts, they will not go against everyone in person.

Therefore, everyone quickly agreed in turn that the Jinwu Guards should be restrained from looting and rape, but they should be rewarded with the deposit in the cottage; the young and strong in the cottage will be separated from the women and children, and the young and strong will be confiscated and tied up, and they must starve , but women and children can be given a meal; the wounded will be treated; organize manpower to perform night watch.

"There is one more thing, who will notify the local government?" Qian Tang instinctively frowned at this point. "Is this Hongnong County or Henan County?"

"Maybe it belongs to Nanyang County or Xiyang County. It's because they don't care about both sides that they can build a stronghold under the emperor's feet." Li Qingchen complained for a while. "Let's go to Hongnong, go to Henan County, I'm afraid the court will look bad and cause trouble for ourselves."

Everyone nodded.

Only Qin Bao hesitated to speak, as if he wanted to say something, but felt that it was hard to say.

"Why did you report to the official?" Zhang Xing, who had been silent all this time, sighed.

Many people in the hall looked at it inexplicably, only Qin Bao was slightly relieved.

"No..." Li Qingchen was obviously a little annoyed. "Zhang Sanlang, isn't it natural to report to an official? We are officials, but we met a thief."

"When the official met a thief, he chopped and killed him. Naturally, he had nothing to say." Zhang Xing asked earnestly, pointing to the outside of Juyi Hall. "But we have already hacked and killed, why should we report to another official?"

"Zhang Sanlang, what do you mean?" Qian Tang seemed to be suppressing his anger.

"My meaning is very simple." Zhang Xing continued pointing to the outside of the hall. "What's the benefit of reporting to an official? It's nothing more than adding a sum to our credit book... But in fact, our promotion at Jing'an Station depends on our practice and qualifications. Of course, such a credit is better than nothing." , but it can’t be called something important...even, a reward of 50 taels has been given to the family during this trip, so it’s even more dispensable in comparison.”

Qin Bao nodded quickly: "But the disadvantages are enormous."

"What's the harm?" Li Qingchen immediately went to see Qin Bao.

"These people seem to be thieves, but in fact they are just trying to escape the corvee to survive. It is already very difficult. Once we report to the officials, they will have no way to survive." Qin Bao sincerely defended.

"I became a thief, and the flag was pulled." Li Qingchen was speechless. "Look at the flags that were cut down by the patrol inspectors, and look at this Juyi Hall. Didn't they rob nearby pedestrians and businesses on weekdays? Since they are thieves, they should be punished... How can we count them as bad when we, as officials, deal with them? ? Qin Bao, you must be an official!"

As soon as these words came out, Qin Bao's face turned pale first, and the rest of the people also wanted to agree.

But at this time, Zhang Xing spoke slowly again: "The disadvantage of what I said is that if we report to the officials, we will be unhappy after the inspection."

There was a sudden silence in the hall.

"How to say?" Qian Tang urged impatiently.

"Because this matter is fundamentally a private affair for the Bai family, and patrol inspections have always been high-minded, pure and pure people, and they don't bother to do this matter."

Zhang Xing glanced at Qian and Li Zhuren, and his tone was firm and calm.

"It is precisely for this reason that the inspector has been uneasy since she received the Zhongcheng Jun order. She only has the heart of doing more things than doing less things, and she has no intention of extravagantly dragging others... to us Rewarding silver as compensation, not wanting to easily frame Han Yingong and Han Changmei brothers, letting go of Zhang Shiniang, and just going after Han Shixiong independently, all because of this intention... And with the mentality of inspection, if we know that we have casually sent hundreds of cottages here Dingkou's women and children became official slaves. On the one hand, she wanted to thank those of us who worked so hard to help her, and on the other hand, I was afraid that she would secretly feel that she was burdening innocent people and hurt her feelings... In the end, everyone knows that, This cottage is not that vicious, it just gathers people to fight against the army to make a living, and the inspectors have always liked to pick up the strong and help the weak."

After hearing this, Qian Tang and others looked at each other, thinking that it was no wonder that Zhang Sanlang was increasingly valued by the inspectors. On the one hand, he had some civil and military integrity, and on the other hand, he was able to consider everything thoroughly and truly share the worries of the inspectors.

Especially Qian Tang and Li Qingchen, thinking of the tacit understanding between the inspector and Zhang Sanlang during the pursuit this time, made them even more frightened-is this method of spying on people's hearts of Sanlang so terrifying? ?

"Then don't report to the official?" After thinking for a moment, Qian Tang suddenly laughed dryly.

"Actually, you can wait. Anyway, the inspection will come back. When she comes back, it will be too late to report to the police after she comes back." Li Qingchen couldn't help laughing while holding the embroidered knife in his waist.

"That's the reason." Qin Bao was overjoyed. "Let's take care of the people first..."

Everyone nodded their heads. Zhang Xing had been fooled by this matter.

PS: Happy New Year everyone...By the way, it should be on the shelves tomorrow...it's on the shelves...um.
