The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

"General! Urgent report from the government office!" General Rong was just about to take a rest when he heard his deputy general come and knock on the door in a hurry. Suddenly, all the drowsiness was gone.

"Come in!" Regardless of what he was wearing, he casually pulled down the sword hanging on the tent, and while ordering the other party to come forward to speak, he picked up his outer robe.

"General, Magistrate Luo came to ask for help, saying that there was a fire in the granary. After putting out the fire, we found that the new grain inside had been replaced by others."

"Have you asked someone to change the food?" General Rong thought that he had not woken up and the footman had gone to sleep, so he repeated it deliberately.

After the deputy general nodded, he showed an expression of disbelief. After a while, he scolded angrily with a stern face: "Absurd! What do those government officials do for food? That's the people's rations!"

The lieutenant general was also shocked, but he couldn't spare what he needed to say: "The prefect Luo wants us to help the government officials and city patrol officers to inspect the city. After all, there is a lot of food. They can deceive everyone and transport the food for a while, but they can't do it all the time. He swaggers in and out of the city. If he moves faster, he may not be able to find any trace. "

"Is there any movement over at the Internal Guard Station?" General Rong had a headache. If the troublemaker was in front of him, he couldn't shake the other person's shoulders and ask them, couldn't he change the time? Can't we let him go, an old man who is about to retire? !

"My subordinates have just sent people to inquire. The internal security office received help from the government office, and it seems that they have been released."

"It's ridiculous. Their internal guards have always been exaggerated in their actions, and they are letting people out? Are they afraid that the movement will be too small to alert the bandits?!" General Rong was so angry that his eyesight turned black. He was puzzled. He hadn't slept yet, so why did he do this? The guys who usually work well together seem to be losing their minds, one ridiculous thing after another.

"General, then let's..." The deputy general saw him angry. He didn't know for a moment whether he wanted to use his anger to escape, or whether he was awake and confused?

"What else can I do? I have cooperated!" General Rong was angry and his mind was still clear. Although he felt that the situation was not quite right, he still had to fulfill his responsibilities.

Although General Rong had the intention to retreat, he was not confused. He vaguely felt that this Zezhou Mansion... might be worried about the coming storm, so he immediately couldn't help but be extremely cautious, fearing that everything would be ruined by one careless move. lose.

"By the time the garrison troops came to support, the bandits had already left!" As the sky gradually brightened, the deputy general came hurriedly to report with a tired face.

In fact, General Rong's worries were not unnecessary. Not long after, it was reported that the armory and tax bank in Fucheng had been raided, and the specific material losses had not yet been calculated.

"Although the gangsters have retreated, at this time, the whole city is exhausted, and a lot of negligence is due to this. We must arrange patrols to prevent those young people from finding opportunities to take advantage of. "

"..." Sheng Yuan felt that Emperor Yanping did not look like such a petty-minded person. More importantly, he was not short of money now. "We captured Ajong before, and the small countries on the road were so scared that they cut their flesh... I used to You can get some money to buy grain from An Laoji, which shows how abundant the national treasury is, not to mention how rich the internal funds are! Otherwise, An Laoji wouldn’t be drooling over the internal funds!”

As long as he didn't let the gangsters occupy Zezhou Mansion, it wouldn't be considered a dereliction of duty.

General Rong also stayed up all night and only nodded slightly when he heard this.

No, the emperor's people, are they all so generous? !

Sheng Yuan was stunned, and Anyu, who was also stunned, rolled his eyes, turned his head and whispered in Sheng Yuan's ear: "Sister Yuan, you said... the emperor sent someone to follow us, could it be to protect us in name? You actually want to make a fortune, right?”

"Yes."

"After enough of our people are left at home, the remaining troops will be divided into three groups, guarding various passes in the city and cooperating with the government's operations. The remaining groups will gather in front of and behind the government office, near the inner guard station... and others. All the big families are keeping an eye on me! I think something is wrong this time!"

"The armory and tax bank were robbed?" Sheng Yuan woke Xiaoyao up in the middle of the night. Hearing the news in a daze, he suddenly woke up.

……

"That's right!" Anyu scratched his head, feeling that he had misunderstood, and said casually, "Then maybe it wasn't our people who took action... right?"

At the end of the sentence, the two of them almost jumped up and exclaimed in unison: "Someone is fishing in troubled waters?!"

This time, neither of them were sleepy anymore. "Hurry up and change your clothes!" Sheng Yuan pushed An Yu, urging him to hurry up, then turned around and asked Xiaoyao to pass the message, "Gather all our people together, I want to ask questions!"

……

The small courtyard of the post house is brightly lit.

Sheng Yuan called several groups of guards to the inner hall for questioning.

"Sir Governor, this has nothing to do with us!" Chengdong had received some advice from Xiaoyao before and cooperated as soon as he entered the room. "My subordinates and others acted in batches. Their targets were only the warehouse we rented and the caravan that was about to enter the city. "

"That's true." Cheng Dong raised his head, and the commander of the escort team sent by the emperor immediately answered, "Sheng Shanda, according to the plan, we are divided into two. One is to attack warehouses and caravans, and the other is to cause trouble. The noise attracted the attention of the relevant people, and the captain of the bodyguard and others were responsible for assisting the government in 'hunting' us."

"Yes." Sheng Yuan nodded and listened to him continue.

The guard leader said, "We just arrived and hadn't taken any action when we heard a commotion nearby. We followed the sound and found that another group of bandits had attacked the armory and tax treasury. We initially thought... that it was the other captains of the guards who were acting on orders, but we discovered something wrong when we checked the secret code."

"Have Commander Lin and his men had any contact with them?"

Commander Lin pursed his lips and shook his head slightly: "The light was dim at the time, and they were dressed the same as us. It was difficult to distinguish them in the dark. In addition, although those people's fists and feet were average, their legs and feet were extremely agile. If you don't pay attention, you can make them run away." ”

"Do they have distinctive weapons and equipment?" Anyu couldn't help but ask.

In this regard, Commander Lin still found nothing special: "They used ordinary swords."

Well, from this point of view, even if Li Gui meets Li Gui, no one is Li Kui.

……

"Boss, who are those people? Could it be that we... met people from the island?!"

In the dense forest on the outskirts of Fucheng, several men in black were sitting under the trees, panting hard. They had run so hard before that they couldn't bear it without taking a break.

"It's a pity that we didn't grab the weapons and get the certificate of surrender this time! Otherwise, we could have gone to the island!"

"Shh! Lower your voice!"

"What are you afraid of? There's no one else here, right boss?"

"Shut up!" The person called boss scolded in a low voice.

Although her slightly hoarse scolding voice was not loud, it seemed to be very majestic, and she silenced the other party with just one sentence.

"Boss, don't worry... I still have a plan to make up for it. If it works well, I'm afraid I won't delay landing on the island and joining the gang." (End of this chapter)
