The fate of writers

Chapter 78
County government.The government officials were divided into two, with one half used to guard the county government and the other half dispersed to work within the county.

Yinxian County originally had only a small number of garrison troops, half of which were free soldiers and half of which were white-headed soldiers.Later, Zeng Hong reported the situation to the government, and then the centurion team was divided. It was said to be a centurion team, but in fact there were only 93 people, including Centurion Chen You.Not much difference, Zeng Hong didn't say anything.

Zeng Hong wanted to go to the street but was stopped by the county magistrate.Helpless, he can only sit in the county office and remotely control it.

"How long until Chen You arrives?" Zeng Hong asked.Although there are not many hundreds of people, they are not established in the county but belong to the general manager of Pingbo Mansion, so they are stationed outside the county.Therefore, it takes a certain amount of time to react from the time of unrest to the deployment of troops into the county.

"It's time for Zhang Dayou to set off and have a cup of tea. You should have arrived at the camp by now. Don't worry, my lord. When Chen You enters the city, everything will be settled. A mob can't make a big deal." The county magistrate looked down on the unarmed group For those of his generation, he thought it would take only a moment to quell the riots.But to be cautious, he still brought his wife and children to the backyard of the county government to accompany the magistrate's wife.Other officials in the county government did the same.

The county magistrate spoke easily, but Zeng Hong felt that it was not so easy to calm down.Otherwise, how could those rebellious officials and thieves rise from Jintian and sweep the world?
At the beginning, the adults in the temple didn't care too much, and thought they were just chickens and dogs, and the loss of cities and towns was just carelessness.When the Hong bandits established their capital in Tianjing, the adults in the temple were finally willing to look people in the eye.

At the beginning, there were good news one after another, and it seemed that everything was just as the adults in the temple thought, but they were nothing more than chickens and dogs.The turning point traced back to the source should be the publication of "Sharecroppers".Zeng Hong didn't know who Xin Shuo was, and he had an intention to write this article. All he could see was that Xin Shuo was full of sympathy for the low-level people, and the incitement of this article was very strong for the low-level people that Xin Shuo sympathized with.

Xin said that "The Tenants" cast a wide net, and it is difficult to say which side Xin said he was leaning towards. It can only be said that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom seized the opportunity and took advantage of it to their advantage.There are masters in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, this is already a fact confirmed by the ruling and opposition parties.

"You still can't be careless." Zeng Hong reminded.

Zeng Hong turned his head and said to the county captain: "I didn't care about everything in the past, but now you have seen the situation. The bandits from the East are coming with great force, and the county soldiers must be full. You can find a way."

The county captain was singled out in public, and his face was humiliated. He didn't dare to look at his face. He couldn't help but defended: "The county soldiers are enough, and they are not necessarily east thieves."

"There must be enough county soldiers. At this time, the turmoil in the county has been quelled, and we don't have to hide in the county government. Whether it is a thief or not, we can be sure if there is an organization. The thief is in the southwest, every day Refugees who escaped from other places, you choose life and death yourself. It is not that I threaten you. If the city is broken, you will either be hacked to death by the rebels, or you will die for your relatives. It is an explanation to the court. The court's pursuit of the betrayers As you all know, the magistrate of Xifeng County was besieged for three months and then surrendered. The three tribes were implicated by him, and he himself did not survive more than a month."

Zeng Hong felt that there was no need for him to say more. The imperial court had always been as ruthless to those who surrendered to the enemy and treason as they were to sweep away fallen leaves in autumn and winter, and was more ruthless to them than to the traitors in the golden fields.This means that the traitors in Jintian can be surrendered, but the betrayers must die.

The county lieutenant was speechless, and other officials who were originally close to him also persuaded him.Living is indeed the most primitive instinct of human beings, and most things have to give way to living.

"That's right." Zeng Hong added as if he remembered something, "Don't force good people. I don't want to try the case of Li Gui and Li Xiulan one day."

"Sir, I'm afraid it's hard to recruit these...soldiers." The county lieutenant still knew that being a soldier in Dayan was not a good job. How could he recruit enough soldiers in a short time?At the same time, he complained bitterly in his heart about Zeng Hong's handling of the case. Everyone in the government office knew that the Wang brothers and sisters had escaped, and they all lamented the Wang brothers and sisters' good luck in climbing up Jiang Ling.Don't want to try this case again?Others can't tell you.

"As I said, you can find a way by yourself, and it is legal and compliant." Zeng Hong's eyes fell on the county captain, which made him very stressed.

"Yes." The county lieutenant replied reluctantly.

The backyard of the county government.All the family members are together, and no one wants to go back to their own yard.

Xu Ru could tell that they were frightened on the way here, but it's not okay to go on like this, because they will get sick if they are too frightened.Ta had to find a way to soothe everyone's emotions.

"Don't worry, everyone, it will be safe once you get here." Xu Ru said.

A few people agreed, but normally everyone would be like bees and butterflies surrounding the magistrate's wife.

"Everyone, please stop sitting around. There are so many people here. We can have a simple tea party. I'm sharing all my treasures." Xu Ru brought out newspapers and novels.

All the people who come to her can read, even if they don't know at first, they can read through their ears and eyes.

Mrs. Li was restless, and she didn't want to read any books, but she only glanced at it, and she couldn't look away.

"Is this the episode of My Fair Lady?" Mrs. Li exclaimed.

Even if Zhao Ruyi issued a military order for "My Fair Lady", saying that this issue of Haixi magazine would definitely explode, it would be better to print more in one issue, and the prudent editor-in-chief still decided to print according to the original quantity.This has led to a relatively small distribution of newspapers in this issue. "My Fair Lady" became famous in the first battle, and almost every housewife has a copy, and there are others from other places to grab. The supply of newspapers is in short supply, and some local ladies do not have any. grab it.

Mrs. Li got off to a good start, and many people were attracted, and then the topic turned to the book without knowing it. Everyone exchanged their impressions after reading it, as if it was just an ordinary tea party.

Others can relax, but Xu Ru can't. She has to control the people in the backyard, and the servants can stop them for half an hour if they are good at it.

At this time, the gates of Yin County were closed, and the team was neat at first, but then it became chaotic. The small merchants on both sides of the street were the first to suffer, and they were all beaten into profiteers.During the period, someone raised an opinion, saying that they didn't go to the Du family to seek justice?But his voice was so small that he didn't need to be carefully agitated, it was covered by the various voices of other people.

Seeing that the trouble had been provoked, the two secret workers in the tea house in Beiqu Lane planned to leave.Their next task is to hang around the city gate and play by ear.

Although the white-headed soldiers are old, but they have been serving as soldiers at this age, they are naturally unique.They could see at a glance that something was wrong with the two secret agents. This feeling couldn't be explained clearly, but it was different from other rioters.At the same time, the two secret agents are also vigilant, and immediately discovered that someone had been staring at them.
