Chapter 209

"What's the benefit of forcing them out?" The county magistrate said angrily, "Pretend not to know anything, and we just need to guard against these people. Once they get involved, who can guarantee the result?"

In order to block the news from Fucheng, they did all kinds of murder and extortion, what else would they not dare to do?

As soon as Bao Buqi sent someone out, his head and body were separated the next moment.

"At least I can be a sensible ghost." The master was not influenced by the county magistrate, "My lord, it's useless to pretend to be confused. Since they are determined to use Pingyang as a raft, they will never show mercy!"

"Master, can't you be more tactful?"

"Dare to ask my lord, is euphemism useful? In the end, don't you have to face reality?"

The reason is that this is true, but I don't want to hear it!

After a while of slander, the county magistrate decided to pretend not to hear, "How much tax and food are still confiscated?"

"Ninety percent of the goods have been put into the warehouse, only a few particularly remote villages have not been delivered, and they are already being urged."

"Is there any Chen Liang in the government office?"

"Yes, but not much, just enough for our daily consumption."

"Let's delay the payment of taxes and food. You have to transfer people to the mountains to avoid being snatched by the refugees. After making these arrangements, go directly to recruit people. Except for those who are famous, each household must give a head. "

"What about the people recruited before?"

"Just recruited people?" The county lord was surprised, "How many?"

"Ahem," the master regretted mentioning this, "Time is running short, there are only three of us for the time being."

"Three?" The county magistrate was stunned, "Did you miss a zero?"

"No, one of them is my eldest grandson."

Hearing this, Jiaoyu also interjected, "The other one is my youngest son."

After hearing this, the county official's face turned blue, "I have devoted myself to Pingyang for nine years, and this is the result?"

The recruiters couldn't even make up double digits!

"My lord, you don't need to worry about it," the master explained with a dry smile, "Anyway, they will be successful sooner or later, it doesn't make any difference."

"One is self-initiated, and the other is forced by the government. Can it be the same?"

"Don't worry about these details, as long as you can achieve your goal."

Having said that, the county magistrate was still very angry.

Therefore, the silver used to offset the service was changed from the original two taels to 20 taels.

At such a sensitive moment, everyone had a bad feeling about posting the conscription notice.

"Isn't it just a bunch of refugees, why did the magistrate make such a big show?"

"Can't afford to offend, can't we hide?"

"Hey, 20 taels is worth one, are you stealing money?"

"Can you escape?"

"The one talking, are you stupid? Didn't you see the poor man standing by?"

When the news came out, Mu Yao was preparing to enter the mountain.

"Brother Yao, what shall we do? Can we pay for it with money?"

"No, it's fine to apply normally," Mu Yao explained, "This time it's not easy, and the benefits of participating outweigh the disadvantages."

Zhao Jia was the first to speak out, "I have great strength and skill, and the probability of running away in danger is higher. I will go."

"No," Li Nian said, not to be outdone, "I've been dragging my feet, so at least let me, as a brother, play some role."

"Zhao Jia can do it," Mu Yao looked around at Li Nian, and said with disgust, "You can forget it."

"why?"

"You need to have a good body to do anything, you are too weak."

Li Nian choked, and said for a long time, "Then what else do I need to do?"

"Yes, stay and deal with this matter!"

"Can't follow you?"

"Yes, the three of us can go."

After speaking, he waved and left.

Every time someone came from Fucheng, he would be murdered. Mu Yao felt that there must be spies buried near the official road.

It is hidden very deep, but as long as you pay attention, you may not be unable to find it.

The three of them went hunting in the mountains a long time ago, and they had a tacit understanding. With a little explanation, the other two understood his thoughts.

"Whether it's a beast or a human, eating and drinking is inseparable. Let's split up to find a place with a wide view and a nearby water source. When we see people from a distance, we will come back. Don't surprise people. They can communicate with each other.

In addition, no matter what the result is, come back and meet in half an hour. "

"Don't worry, if we are caught, we will pretend to be normal hunters and fool around."

"Don't be poor, be careful, this group of people has big plans, and they would rather kill the wrong one than let them go."

"OK then!"

After speaking, Mu Yao gestured to leave.

It is hot in June, and the mountain wind blows, but it brings coolness.

The dense trees and vines are entangled together, blocking the line of sight tightly.

Occasionally, there were a few roars of wild animals, which made people feel even more frightened.

Even though he has long been accustomed to the environment in the mountains, he still dare not take it lightly when he thinks of the enemies hidden in the dark.

While probing carefully, while covering up the traces.

However, time passed little by little, and there was nothing to gain, so I could only endure the irritability in my heart and go back as agreed.

"How? What did you find?"

Zhao Jia shook his head, "I didn't see anyone, what about you, Ding Yi?"

"Me neither, but," he suddenly thought of something, "Brother Yao, the refugees should not be on this mountain."

"Why so sure?"

"There is a tiger in the mountains. I saw it with my own eyes. With this beast, who dares to wait longer?"

"That's not right," Zhao Jia wondered, "Tigers don't change places easily, especially in summer, they don't lack food at all."

Mu Yao also doubted, "Ding Yi, how far did you see this tiger?"

"It's not far, just across a river."

"Is there anything wild around here?"

"There are sheep drinking water by the stream."

"Did you hear the cry?"

"That tiger is tall and big. I didn't dare to go forward. I hurriedly glanced at it and came back quickly. I didn't hear any sound. Brother Yao, is there something wrong?"

"There has been no news of tigers in Pingyang for decades. It's too abnormal. Where did you meet them? Let's go and have a look."

"Brother Yao suspects that Hu is a refugee in disguise?"

"I can't rule out this possibility. After all, the most indispensable thing in the north is wild animals, such as tiger skins and bear skins. Even if they are rare, they still have a few pieces in stock."

If you do this, it's not surprising why you can't find this group of people. Who would have thought of this?
Hearing this, Ding Yi hesitated, "What if it's a real tiger? There are only three of us, can we handle it?"

"Stupid or not? If a mortal fights with a tiger recklessly, isn't that courting death?" Mu Yao pointed to the arrow basket on his back, "The arrow has been smeared with medicine in advance, and if it gets a little bit wet, no animal will be able to move."

"Have you used it?"

"Feed a little bit of hair to the horse at home, and it sleeps all night. The effect of the medicine is fine. The key is not to let it run away."

"understood."

After discussing, the three left tacitly.

Mu Yao bowed his body and walked lightly in front, his left hand tightly grasping the fierce bow.

Zhao Jia and Ding Yihu were on both sides, opening the way to be vigilant and ready to make up the knife at any time.

After gradually approaching and ambushing, he saw the opportunity and without hesitation, Mu Yao shot an arrow with a whoosh.

At the same moment, Zhao Jia and Ding Yi rushed over...
