Iron blood Suiming

Chapter 10 Catastrophe

"Your Excellency is thoughtful, just let these bandits do harm to the people in just these seven days?"

County Magistrate Zhang sighed, stroking his long beard with his hands, with a look of grief and indignation, and said: "This is helpless, the sky is unfair, and the people have suffered this catastrophe, but it is difficult to have both, and the only thing to do is to protect the county first. In the future, the county It must be reported to the imperial court, exempted from taxation, and compensated, so as not to bear the responsibility of being a holy herdsman."

Li Kaiguo said with a chuckle: "My lord is worthy of being the parents of a county, and he loves the people like his own son. Don't worry, my lord. Some stupid bandits in the district are nothing more than chickens and dogs. Please order me to lead the troops in the city to go out of the city to suppress the bandits." , will definitely kill them all and keep the people safe.”

When Magistrate Zhang heard this, his hands clenched in fright, and a few beards fell off.He had a pain in his jaw, but he couldn't care less, and kept shouting: "No, no."

"Oh, why not." Li Jianguo restrained his smile and said lightly.

County magistrate Zhang saw that Li Jianguo turned his face faster than turning the book, and there was still a trace of respect for the superior.However, he had no way to get rid of Li Kaiguo, so he could only suppress his anger and said: "Officer Li's heart is for the common people, which is naturally very good. It's just that there are only a few hundred officers and soldiers in the county, and they can be used to defend the city. I am afraid that the bandits will be powerful, and if there is a mistake, the people in the whole county will have no hope. It is better to defend the city and wait for reinforcements."

"My lord is worried, but I heard Captain Feng say that the boss of the Zuo family in the south of the city bought ten firecrackers. I don't know if your lord knows about this."

County magistrate Zhang was shocked, and said: "This damn Lu Cai, how dare he sell the country's most important weapon to others. If I knew about it earlier, I would definitely go to the court and punish him."

Li Kaiguo couldn't tell whether County Magistrate Zhang was acting or not, and he didn't care, and said, "Since your lord also said he was guilty, then the officer will go and copy the Zuo family."

County magistrate Zhang was really surprised this time, and shouted: "No, no, the Zuo family is a big local family with a lot of connections, and their influence is intricate. Without the order of the lord, how can they rob the house. We'll wait." How about dealing with it after reporting it to the superior?"

Li Kaiguo said with a smirk: "The Zuo family dared to buy firearms privately. It seems that they have the heart of rebellion. When the officials heard about this, how dare they neglect it. If your lord is afraid, it's okay, let the officials suppress the rebellion for the court. Why do you need to report it?" Fu Zun. Feng Duizheng, leaving 50 people to guard the city, and the rest of the soldiers and horses will go with me to quell the rebellion."

His rebellious hat was pressed on the Zuo family's head, and it was extremely vicious. He wanted to uproot the Zuo family. County magistrate Zhang gasped and wanted to stop him, but seeing Li Jianguo's expression , with a murderous look on his face, he thought that the Zuo family was doomed this time, even if he pleaded for mercy for the Zuo family, it would be useless.

Seeing Li Jianguo leading the officers and soldiers to Zuo's house, County Magistrate Zhang's eyes became gloomy. This Li Guo who didn't know where he came from could not stay any longer, and he had to be removed by means of thunder.Otherwise, if you let it grow bigger, there will be endless troubles.

He beckoned, and a family member stepped forward and listened, and saw Magistrate Zhang take out something from his sleeve, and the family member took it with a sad face.Immediately, he found a rope, bound it down from the south city wall, and went far away.

The Zuo family in the south of the city has been in chaos since the third master Zuo was carried home by the housekeeper. The uncle urgently ordered to invite the most famous doctor Qian in the city to come and treat the third master.The third master's family was crying, and after a while, the three concubines fainted from crying.

On the contrary, the original wife, Zuo Jiangshi, didn't feel flustered, she was calm and composed, and ordered the three concubines to be sent back, leaving only a clean maid and woman beside the third master Zuo.He took out all the rare medicinal materials in his warehouse and put them in the side room for later use, and at the same time ordered the kitchen to prepare clean boiling water, etc. All the chores were arranged in an orderly manner.

The uncle and the second master looked at Zuo Jiang's rules and regulations, and they looked at each other and nodded.

Not long after, the young masters and young ladies of Zuo's family heard the news and rushed over. Because Dr. Qian was in the house treating the third master Zuo's wounds, they couldn't get in, so they had to stay in the yard and listen to the third master Zuo. There were screams.

Zuo Sanye's two sons, eyes full of blood red, knelt in front of Zuo uncle and shouted: "Uncle, you want to avenge my father. Please give my nephew a team of servants, and arrest the murderer, and cut his heart open." Belly, in order to boost the prestige of my Zuo family."

Uncle Zuo stared, and shouted: "You guys know nothing, get up and get out of here, this old man has his own opinion."

Third Master Zuo's two sons were also pustules, and after being yelled at by Uncle Zuo, they actually took it seriously and walked away.Uncle Zuo was pacing back and forth in the corridor, suddenly stopped, and said: "Second brother, who encouraged the third son to trouble Li Guo?"

Zuo Erye said in a low voice, "It's Yuan Erye."

Uncle Zuo was stunned, and immediately jumped into a rage, roaring: "You bastard Second Master Yuan is just a thief who smuggles salt. I said earlier that our Zuo family is not going to Japan now and won't let the third child associate with him. Don’t listen. This time, he’s still being used as a spearman. Where’s your brain? It’s grown on a donkey?” He scolded so much that Second Master Zuo blushed, but he didn’t dare to reply.

The young masters and young masters of the Zuo family looked at Zuo Erye really pitifully, and they all looked at Zuo Yingxue.It was early summer at this time, although the weather was still cool, but the sun was not weak, Zuo Yingxue's delicate face was covered by a light veil, only a pair of beautiful eyes were watery, like water waves flowing, very touching.

I just heard her softly say: "Okay, I'll go and persuade Grandpa." The voice is like the sound of a piano.The maid Lvyun supported Zuo Yingxue, and walked forward gracefully.

Uncle Zuo was scolding happily, when he suddenly saw Zuo Yingxue, he frowned immediately, and said softly: "Why are you here, the sun is so strong today, be careful, why don't you go back to your room?"

Zuo Yingxue stretched out her jade-like hand, blessed her lightly, and said, "Greetings to Second Grandpa."

Second Master Zuo blushed in embarrassment, and said: "Okay, okay." When he took advantage of Uncle Zuo's distraction, he quickly pretended to have something to do and walked away.

"Grandpa, it is said in "Su Wen" that if a person is angry, if the qi goes up but not down, it will hurt the liver. Even if there are big things, you should take care of your body."

Uncle Zuo snorted, and said, "What are you doing reading those medical books, and you haven't gone back to your room yet."

Seeing that Zuo Yingxue stood still, he finally said: "Okay, okay, I won't be angry anymore, you can go back now." It's the brine ordering tofu, Uncle Zuo only listened to the words of his precious granddaughter Zuo Yingxue, No matter what it is, as long as Zuo Yingxue speaks, Uncle Zuo will obey.

Seeing that Uncle Zuo was obedient, Zuo Yingxue smiled slightly, although the veil was thin and thin, it still couldn't block the elegant and elegant beauty.She took a few steps back slowly, hid in the shadows, and said, "I'll go back when Third Grandpa heals his wound."

Uncle Zuo has a straight beard, but he has nothing to do with this granddaughter.Zuo Yingxue's temperament is soft but strong, something she has decided on and will not change easily.She wants to stay for a while before leaving, no one can say no.

Doctor Qian came out, his hands were covered with blood, it was very scary.Uncle Zuo hurried up to meet him and asked, "How is it?"

Dr. Qian said: "Third Master is fine, but there is no way to connect that hand. The prescription has already been prescribed, and it is enough for the uncle to ask someone to grab the medicine. Alas, I did not expect that the third master would be so dignified that he would..." He said shaking Shaking his head, he followed the servant to the side room to clean his hands.

Uncle Zuo raised his eyebrows. He lived to be 65 years old, and he has never heard of a scholar being hurt by a slave, let alone cutting off a man's arm in public.He didn't go in to see Third Master Zuo, but the juniors of the Zuo family went to see Third Master Zuo angrily.

"It's not that the Raptors can't cross the river, we still have to be cautious." Uncle Zuo muttered to himself.

"Grandpa said that this granddaughter of Li Guo is a bit unpredictable, but she must be a person with great ability. There are many such people in history books. But every time she is born, it will bring disaster." Zuo Yingxue lightly Lightly said.

"You read too many books. If a woman is too smart,...it's not good." Uncle Zuo looked at Zuo Yingxue and said worriedly.His granddaughter, Congruosi, is not necessarily a blessing.

"Grandpa should make preparations earlier, and send the 3000 taels of silver earlier." Zuo Yingxue held a snow-white silk scarf and wrapped it around a few times, obviously a little uneasy.

Uncle Zuo raised his head and looked at the white clouds in the sky. This was a tactic to delay the attack, and it worked just right.He nodded, and was about to ask someone to fetch the money, when suddenly he was reported that a gang of bandits had come from outside the city, and the county magistrate had ordered the city gate to be closed tightly.

Uncle Zuo was startled, and immediately sent more family members to investigate, and at the same time ordered the young and strong members of the family to gather together as a countermeasure.The matter of giving money was left behind.

Not long after, the news arrived like a stream.

County magistrate Zhang and Lu Caiyu abandoned the city and fled.

Lu Cai was beheaded by Li Guo, the new head arrester, and promoted to the city guard.

County magistrate Zhang was forced to supervise the battle from the tower.

The county magistrate Zhang ordered to open the county storehouse to release 1000 taels....

As the news came one after another, Uncle Zuo became more and more frightened the more he heard it. When he heard that the bandits had been repelled and could no longer attack the city, he couldn't help shouting: "It's over, my Zuo family is going to be in trouble."

Zuo Yingxue, who had been listening all the time, also had a delicate and beautiful face, and she also understood what the catastrophe grandpa was talking about.

His sound frightened everyone in Zuo's family, Second Master Zuo hurried over when he heard the news.This time Uncle Zuo didn't even have the energy to scold him, he slumped on the chair, his eyes staring straight.

"Brother, what's the matter with you, don't scare me. Hurry up and get a doctor." Zuo Erye called urgently.

Uncle Zuo waved his hand and said with a wry smile, "Second brother, don't call me doctor, it's useless to call you. You tell me to take only gold, silver, and soft things, and nothing else. Old and young take the bus, young and strong guards, we Get out of the city from the east gate, hurry up, or it will be too late if you don’t leave.”

Second Master Zuo looked confused and said, "Didn't the bandits retreat? Why are we running away? Brother, you are confused."

Uncle Zuo suddenly stood up and shouted: "You know what the hell, why don't you go do it quickly? Go, go."

Seeing that Uncle Zuo was so angry, Second Master Zuo didn't understand, but he didn't dare to disobey the boss's order, so he rushed to prepare.

"Grandpa, this Li Guo is cruel and ruthless. I'm afraid it's too late to leave now." Zuo Yingxue tightly held Lu Yun's hand, and Lu Yun's pretty face was full of panic.

As if to verify Zuo Yingxue's foresight, a servant rushed in and shouted: "Master, the officers and soldiers have surrounded our house."
