Longevity begins with a dog

Chapter 17 Appreciation of Great People
"Hey, an ant who isn't even a warrior really thinks of himself as a character."

Staring at Xu Chong's back, Zhou Ze mocked with disdain.

"Speaking of business, you clearly know that the rebels have access to the meridians, why do you push it to Xu Chong?"

Wu Wenjing looked serious, and said: "Fu Yuanlong is not so easy to fool, if we are charged with colluding with rebels..."

Xue Yiwei was extremely powerful, and he was also of the seventh rank, so Fu Yuanlong could easily handle him.

A simple framing is enough to cause several deaths, so how could he not be worried.

"Your Excellency thinks too much, then Fu Yuanlong cheated us."

Zhou Ze waved his hand, and said with a relaxed expression: "The general banner of the blood-clothed guards, why don't you let the No. 50 fighters under your hands not use it, and chase the enemy for thousands of miles alone? You don't even go to the army station to borrow troops, but ask our county government to help?"

"You mean...he has a dark secret?"

Wu Wenjing raised his eyebrows.

"It must be so."

Zhou Ze said confidently, "So no matter whether the rebel is caught or not, he won't make a big fuss. We don't have to worry about it at all."

"Makes sense."

Wu Wenjing nodded, and said again: "But if his plan fails, it's hard to guarantee that he won't take his anger on us, right?"

"That's why I proposed to let Xu Chong do it."

Zhou Ze raised the corner of his mouth, "If Xu Chong can't appease Master Zongqi, how about Xu Youan's black money?"

"What black money?"

Xu Chong's voice suddenly sounded at the door, causing Wu Zhou to tremble violently.

"..."

Zhou Ze scolded his mother from the bottom of his heart, and said angrily: "You heard me wrong, I am discussing how to search and arrest with the county lord."

"Yeah, that's what we're talking about."

Wu Wenjing nodded quickly, and asked: "Xu Dianshi went and came back again, isn't it just to listen to the corner?"

"Why do adults judge others by themselves?"

Xu Chong said stiffly, and cupped his hands with a stinky face: "The lower official just thought of how to catch the traitor, and came back to borrow someone from the lord."

"Borrow someone?"

Wu Wenjing was stunned: "There are more than 100 people in the third class outside, isn't it enough to drive you?"

"That's all for ordinary affairs. This time it's about rebels, and there's no room for officials to be careless."

Xu Chong paused after finishing speaking, and spread his hands, as if a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water: "Of course, if your lord refuses to borrow it, it's fine. I'll ask another wise man for this matter."

"you……"

Wu Wenjing's face turned cold, and just as he was about to scold him, Zhou Ze spoke first.

"What Master Xu said is not bad, we should support it."

As Zhou Ze said, he gave Wu Wenjing a look.

"...Forget it, there are 37 people in the internal shift, you can call them all."

Wu Wenjing pondered for a moment and nodded.

"Besides, the lower officials also need the yellow book and the keys to the Bingjiaku."

Xu Chong said again.

This time Wu Wenjing didn't rush to refuse, but looked at Zhou Ze.

"Hmm...the yellow book is fine, why do you want the key to the Bingjiaku?"

Zhou Ze asked.

The yellow book is the population directory, which records information such as township, name, age, population, assets, etc. What is left in the county government is just a copy, not something important.

But Hyokoku is different.

"Ah."

Xu Chong sneered, and said sarcastically: "The two adults sit firmly in the county government office and don't need to beat them to death, but the subordinate officials and those young men are going to charge forward, so it's not too much to prepare some means to save their lives?"

Wu Wenjing and Zhou Ze looked at each other and smiled at the same time.

"Master Xu is thoughtful, but I am not as good as this official. Here is a warrant for you."

.........

More than [-] people from the two classes of yamen servants, inside and outside, gathered at the gate of the county yamen, and there were a lot of people.

Different from the past, these 200 people all put on armor—a kind of armor with a cloth face and only iron plates on the chest, back, and torso.

In addition, the waist knives and shields are also fully equipped, and there are even thirty crossbows.

This was barely made up after evacuating the entire armory.

Unfortunately, no firearms.

Xu Chong sighed regretfully, cleared his throat and began to mobilize.

"With such a big formation, you must be very confused and frightened."

"I can only tell you that this is not a war, but a search for a vicious fugitive."

"There is only one thing you need to do, obey my orders!"

"Since I have opened up the warehouse and armed you to such an extent, I naturally hope that everyone is safe. No, it is best not to get hurt."

"But the ugly words are up front. If anyone dares to steal and play tricks at this time, don't blame the official for turning his face."

The tone, expression, and majesty brought by Zhengyang Jin made these 300 people have no thought of refuting at all, but just listened quietly.

Only Liu Er gritted his teeth, took a step, turned around and faced everyone, and said loudly, "Do you remember the three Xie Mazi?"

"I won't mention some things, and I'm not clean myself."

"But you may not know that it's because of your lord, Xie Mazi and the three of them, that they can be buried in the ground and have their name left on the stele."

"Following adults like this, I don't know if you are afraid of death, but I, Liu Er, am not!"

Colleagues' testimony is far more credible than Shangguan's coercion and lure.

Liu Er's words moved all the people present, and their eyes became firmer.

"grown ups!"

Liu Er turned around and clasped his fists at Xu Chong: "Please give the order!"

"it is good!"

Xu Chong glanced at Liu Er appreciatively, and said, "I want you to gather your white servants and divide them into three groups..."

The so-called white servants are people who do not take the imperial salary and volunteer to help the yamen. They are usually people who have nothing to eat, or people who need the yamen to take care of their families.

A well-organized yamen servant often has two or three white servants under his command.

According to Xu Chong's estimate, with two hundred yamen servants plus white servants, there could be more than 600 people in total, barely enough.

"Liu Er, you take one hundred brothers and two hundred white servants to the city wall, one person at sixty paces, three groups of guards, and take a whistle to blow the whistle at any time."

"Zhao Liu, you bring fifty brothers and fifty white servants, and you are also divided into three groups to patrol the streets day and night, and you also bring whistles."

"The rest follow this officer."

"This officer will personally lead a team to search!"

Xu Chong's orders were issued one by one, and the people who were ordered to go out immediately and led them away in a hurry.

Xu Chong did not forget to add one sentence at the end.

"Remember, take good care of the people under your command. If you dare to disturb the people maliciously and make it difficult to search, don't blame me for using severe punishment!"

Not far away, a line of sight silently watched here.

"Methodical, thoughtful, and a talent."

There was a trace of appreciation in Fu Yuanlong's eyes, and he shook his head immediately: "It's a pity that if you don't know martial arts, you will never be able to get on the stage."

Originally, he was thinking of searching for omissions and making up for omissions, but Xu Chong's arrangement could not find any faults, which really surprised him.

As for those weapons and armor, he didn't pay attention to them at all.

As far as these standard garbage are concerned, they are no different from paper to Tongmai Realm.

Unless it can be found when the other party is unconscious.

But is this possible?
Fu Yuanlong thought it was unlikely.
