After marrying a rough man, I played mahjong to support Shoufu

Chapter 81 Acting
Hearing the roar of the county magistrate in the house, Fang Fang quickly ran in.

After the failure of suppressing the bandits, who would have the most trouble if there was a magistrate in the county government, then he would have to be arrested quickly, after all, he was the one who came up with the idea of ​​suppressing the bandits.

With so many deaths and injuries in Qingzhuang, if the state government investigates and interrogates the crime in the future, County Magistrate Lu will definitely push the responsibility to him immediately, so Fang Fang now wants to see things turn around more than anyone else.

"My lord, a group of people came outside the yamen and shouted, saying that Lin Manjiang from the Lin family of Yongle Village is willing to pay a thousand taels of silver to recruit young and strong bandits."

Detective Fang, who had bags under his eyes, said the last sentence quickly, with a deep joy on his face.

County magistrate Lu's eyes were stunned for a while, and he hesitated: "Are you sure you heard it right? Why are these iron cocks willing to pluck their hair?"

"The subordinates heard it clearly, and even leaned over the courtyard wall to watch. Lin Manjiang was standing at the door."

County magistrate Lu stood up in a jerk, not even thinking about putting on his shoes, and shouted as he ran, "Open the door quickly, and invite Lin Manjiang in!"

The smudged door slowly opened, Shen Xian stood on tiptoe and saw the county magistrate Lu Wanglu welcome him, he was stunned for a moment, then chuckled inwardly, money really makes ghosts go round.

"Mr. Lin, please come inside, please come inside!"

At this moment, Lin Manjiang was like a living bodhisattva in the eyes of County Magistrate Lu, and his enthusiastic attitude came from the heart even more than seeing the governor of the state.

The accompanying people rushed into the county office one after another, wanting to see how things would develop further.

In the side hall of the county government, the county magistrate sent a maid to serve tea and water, and then the two sat face to face.

"Hehehe, Mr. Lin, I just heard that you are willing to spend a lot of money to help the government suppress bandits?"

At this moment, there were hundreds of pairs of eyes staring at the courtyard, and the atmosphere was so intense that it was like a fire cooking oil. Even if Lin Manjiang wanted to repent, it was too late.

He smiled wryly and said: "That's exactly the case. Bandits are rampant now. If we don't get rid of them, we may not be able to live in Changle County for several years."

"Very good, very good."

With Lin Manjiang's affirmative answer, County Magistrate Lu's heart finally fell to the ground, and he stroked his beard and nodded repeatedly.

Seeing the magistrate smiling again and again, Lin Manjiang couldn't be happy. This time, he put all his eggs in one basket to save the Bolin family's survival. The suppression of the bandits can only be successful, and he must know how the county magistrate intends to operate before taking the money.

"My lord, the suppression of the bandits and grassroots this time can be regarded as a waste of family wealth. I don't want anything else. I just hope to wipe out the bandits in one fell swoop. I don't know if your lord has a plan."

When County Magistrate Lu heard this, his smile gradually faded. He frowned and thought for a moment and said: "This Wumu Peak is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The last time we suffered heavy losses due to falling rocks, rolling logs, and kerosene on the mountain, and the bandits are extremely fierce. , This bandit suppression may be a tug-of-war, and it will be difficult to win in one fell swoop."

What the county magistrate said was the last thing Lin Manjiang wanted to hear. If Lin Hu couldn't kill the grass and roots in one fell swoop, and Lin Hu sent someone to shake him out, then wouldn't his work be in vain.

"Cough." Lin Manjiang coughed dryly, and glanced at the crowd, Shen Xian saw his gaze, and shook the drawing paper in his hand.

Seeing that Shen Xian drew up the blueprints for Wumu Peak's defense, Lin Manjiang felt a bit more at ease, he was really afraid that Shen Xian would make a feint and put himself on the fire without handing over the blueprints.

"Your Majesty, Caomin has heard some terrible news about this bandit suppression. It is not impossible to wipe out the bandits in one fell swoop."

Lin Manjiang's words revived County Magistrate Lu. He leaned forward slightly and asked quickly, "What's the news? Mr. Lin, tell me quickly."

Lin Manjiang glanced outside the door, cleared his throat and said, "Let Shen girl talk about this matter, she brought back ideas and news."

"Miss Shen?" The county magistrate couldn't get around, and looked out the door.

Seeing that it was time for Shen Xian to appear on stage, Shen Xian immediately put away the look of eating melon on his face, showing three parts of melancholy, five parts of grief, and two parts of hatred, and slowly walked into the side hall.

"Minister Shen Xian, I have met your lord."

At this time it was not in the court, Shen Xian just made a vain salute.

County magistrate Lu looked at Shen Xian, and really couldn't think of what kind of medicine was sold in Lin Manjiang's gourd.

"You can tell me what news you have, but if the official finds out the false report, you will be punished severely!"

The county magistrate's words were full of doubts, and he didn't feel that the weak woman in front of him had the ability to change the situation.

Shen Xian could hear the contempt in the county magistrate's tone, and unconvincedly spread the defense map on the table, "Magistrate, this is the defense map of Wumu Peak."

Just this one sentence shocked the county magistrate so much that he couldn't close his jaw.

"Where did you get this defense map?"

The county magistrate's eyes were full of disbelief, and he stared at Shen Xian sharply and asked.

Shen Xian looked at the defense map, trying hard to brew her emotions, her eyes were clouded with mist after a while, she choked up and said: "Your magistrate doesn't know, the husband of the civilian daughter participated in the suppression of bandits a few days ago, and later No one was seen, no dead body was seen, I was worried, so I took advantage of the night to sneak into Wumu Peak to look for him."

"You, you are so courageous..."

The county magistrate looked at Shen Xian and put away the contempt in his heart. Among other things, this unafraid of death alone deserves respect.

Lin Manjiang looked at the nose, nose and heart, and couldn't help but snorted coldly in his heart, this little girl has a lot of acting skills.

Recalling her fearless attitude in the Lin family, it is difficult for Lin Manjiang to associate her with her current pitiful appearance.

Shen Xian sniffed lightly, and continued: "Although the girl did not find her husband, she secretly recorded the internal layout of the bandits clearly. I hope this map can help you sir."

The county magistrate learned the ins and outs, and immediately took over the defense map. On the map, the positions of the bandit sentry towers and the places where the traps were hidden were clearly marked. As long as these places can be avoided when suppressing bandits, a lot of losses can be reduced.

"Okay, okay, with this map, there is no reason to be invincible!"

Shen Xian raised his sleeves, wiped the corners of his eyes lightly, Lin Manjiang and her looked at each other from the air, and they both showed a sneer.

"Lord magistrate, since we have taken the lead, we must recruit young and strong people quickly, and strive to reach Wumu Peak before dark, so as not to give bandits a chance to breathe!" Lin Manjiang strikes while the iron is hot, fearing that something will happen.

"That's natural, and I have the same intention." The magistrate Lu put away the defense map and shouted loudly: "Come on, put up a notice, recruit young and strong with a lot of money, and take Wumu Peak today!"

"Yes!"

Captain Fang listened for a long time, his excitement was beyond words, and the moment the order was given, he ran out quickly.

"The two bandit suppressors have helped a lot this time. Please wait for a while, let me prepare some food and wine, and entertain you two well."

The county magistrate got up and was about to go out, but Lin Manjiang immediately stood up to stop him, and then whispered something in his ear.

County magistrate Lu's face changed slightly, and he nodded immediately.

The police quickly dismissed the people watching the excitement, and the county government quickly calmed down.
