Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

At this time, Niu Wenqing's master also shouted outside the screen wall: "Proprietor, why is Niu Gui screaming?"

This master's surname is Ma, he has a sense of responsibility, when he heard Niu Gui yelling and rushing towards the inner house, he hurried over to fulfill his duty as a staff member.

As soon as he heard that his staff officer had arrived, Niu Wenqing seemed to get angry immediately. He didn't even care about wearing his outer robe, so he walked around the screen wall and left the inner house in a small coat.

"Sir, do you have a teacher?" Niu Wenqing asked, bowing his hands and saluting, but his question also showed that he was out of control.

Master Ma hurriedly returned the gift.But now I don't even know what the matter is, so what can Master Ma come up with?So Niu Gui, who came out after him, repeated the words of the reporter outside.

After hearing this, Mr. Ma immediately said: "It's not too late. The owner should send someone to inform Eunuch Ye immediately. In fact, this is also a matter of their iron mines, and has nothing to do with our locality, so don't panic. Although Eunuch Ye He may have gotten the news of the weapon fight long ago, but the proprietor reported a letter to sell him, and also left a favor."

"The proprietor still needs to send more people to guard the gate of the county seat and patrol the county roads. Although Longtouling is still far from our county seat, we must prevent the situation from changing, and prevent Xiaoxiao from taking advantage of the fire to rob."

As soon as these two targeted ideas came out, Niu Wenqing was immediately relieved.He immediately recovered his demeanor, and ordered with great authority: "Come here! Do as Master Ma said."

"Yes!" Niu Gui immediately bowed and answered.Then I wanted to run out and make arrangements.

"Wait!" Master Ma immediately stopped Niu Gui, "Bring the official robe to your lord first."

Only then did Niu Wenqing realize that he was still wearing a small coat.If I went to see my subordinates with such a disheveled appearance, the county magistrate would lose all face.Although Niu Wenqing was still very grateful to Master Ma for his reminder in his heart.But after all, it was unavoidable to be a little embarrassed, so he had to cough a few times to cover it up.

After Mr. Ma made the arrangements in an orderly manner, Niu Wenqing also sat peacefully in the lobby and felt relieved.But half an hour later, another person ran in at the gate of the yamen, and he also yelled: "My lord! It's not good!"

Niu Wenqing's heart suddenly rose again, and he took a closer look, and it was a yamen servant who came in.

"What's going on?" Niu Wenqing asked quickly.

But the yamen servant knelt on the ground, panting for a while and would be speechless.The head of the yamen servants at the side immediately ran over and kicked him a few times.Angrily said: "My lord is asking you something! What's the matter with you. Just let it out quickly."

After finally waiting for the yamen servant to stabilize his mood, he reported: "My lord, the younger one is helping to guard the east gate. An army has come from far away from the east gate, and they are coming towards the direction of the county."

"Great!", "Close the city gate!" Niu Wenqing and Master Ma said two sentences with completely opposite meanings at the same time.This situation made everyone in the lobby stunned.

Niu Wenqing knew that the army near here must be the army guarding Li Lu.As long as they enter the county to help defend.No matter what danger there is, this army will stand it.The safety of the county and itself is guaranteed.

But his staff, Master Ma, expressed the opposite opinion, which must be reasonable.So Niu Wenqing didn't care about his own face at this time, and he immediately asked without shame: "Why do you say that, sir?"

Master Ma immediately saluted and said: "Proprietor, this army entering the city is like rats entering a porcelain shop. It will definitely cause chaos. Proprietor, you should think about the people under your rule!"

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Niu Wenqing immediately realized the phrase "Thieves come like a comb, soldiers like a grate, and officials like a shave".Niu Wenqing had heard it many times before.

Although the last sentence seemed to reflect himself, Niu Wenqing immediately ordered: "Quickly close the city gate. I will also go to the east gate tower with my husband and colleagues to take a look."

This army is the Nanyang Camp led by He Fei and Zu Ge.Today Shumo led 300 people to defend the camp, while He Fei and Zuge led more than 700 soldiers (Nanyang Camp has [-] troops, because the mobile battalion is not fully recruited, so it is not full) and is about to bypass Ye County In the county seat, go to Longtouling where the two sides fight with each other.

But when the Nanyang camp approached the county seat of Ye County, they were surprised to find that Ye County seemed to be facing an enemy, and they closed the city gate without hesitation.And on the city tower.I also saw a group of people standing there monitoring every move of Nanyang Ying.

"What the hell are the people in Ye County doing? We don't go into the city, so why are they acting like they're on the verge of a formidable enemy?" A soldier on the side said bulgingly.He looked like he couldn't figure out his mind.

But the words of this soldier immediately reminded He Fei and Chu Ge.Both of them were people who followed Wu Shigong to the north.Know the reason why the local government is guarding against the official army.Therefore, the two of them looked at each other, and immediately ordered cheerfully: "The whole army is heading to Ye County."

Since everyone in Ye County is afraid of Nanyangying entering the city, Nanyangying wants to pretend to be entering the city instead.It's not really for entering the city, the main purpose is to extort some benefits from Ye County.

Seeing Nanyang camp getting closer and closer, the people on the tower became more and more nervous.It wasn't until the Nanyang camp drove to the ditch outside the east gate that it stopped, and Niu Wenqing, the magistrate of Ye County on the tower, breathed a sigh of relief.

There was no other way, as the magistrate of Ye County, Niu Wenqing had to ask first, "Generals under the city, why did you come to Ye County?"

At this time, He Fei and Chu Ge were very polite.They both jumped off their horses, and He Fei saluted Niu Wenqing and said, "Lord magistrate, I learned that there are people in Ye County who are in trouble. According to our Li Shoubei's order, the villain will lead the army to rescue Ye County. Please open the city gate and let the brothers in." city."

He Fei lied without hesitation and sold out their boss - Li Lu.Anyway, the boss is for selling.Besides, Li Lu was not the real boss of Nanyang Camp, so He Fei didn't have any psychological burden to sell him.

Although everyone on the tower didn't know why Li Lu got the news of the miners' fighting so quickly, the reason He Fei said was really reasonable, so everyone on the tower believed He Fei's words .

However, it was definitely impossible to let Hefei and his Nanyang camp into the city, so Niu Wenqing politely refused: "This general made a mistake. There are guards from the county in the county, and there is no turmoil. The place where the civil uprising should be In Longtouling, I still ask the general to leave as soon as possible."

He Fei winked at Chu Ge, and Chu Ge immediately understood, he straightened up and shouted: "What's the matter? Which bastard spread this false news and made us run for more than [-] miles desperately!" ?I went back and skinned him. What business do we have to do with the bitter people in the poor ravine who beat us to death? Magistrate. We have been running for a long time. Let us go to the city to drink hot soup, and let us brothers Take a good rest and go back!"

"That's it! That's it! Open the city gate!"

"If we don't open the city gate, we're going to hit the gate!"

……

A group of personal soldiers who had been ordered by He Fei and Chu Ge also booed aside.

But the officials of Ye County on the city tower didn't know that He Fei and the others were just playing a show!They thought: If this group of Qiubawan gets into a fight, at least they will suffer in the immediate future.Although Ye County also has a city wall, there are no defensive soldiers on the city wall.In case the group of Qiu Ba under the city tower recklessly climbed up the city wall, Niu Wenqing and the officials of Ye County might not come to stop them!

Niu Wenqing was also sweating on his forehead at this time, and he immediately shouted: "Stop being reckless! Since the strong men have come to the county seat, the county promises to let the strong men eat and drink well. But this general, the county seat It is indeed too small to allow so many strong men to enter, so please be more restrained and more forgiving!"

"Stop making trouble! Stop making trouble!" He Fei immediately blushed.He then saluted Niu Wenqing with a smile and said: "But my lord, you guys are indeed tired and hungry, so please give me your reward."

Seeing the general manager in front of him is quite sensible.Niu Wenqing was relieved, and he turned around to arrange meals.But before Niu Wenqing could open his mouth, the master Ma who was beside him stopped him and said in a low voice: "Proprietor, that Qiu Ba is talking about rewards, not really eating!"

"What they want is a reward!" Zhu Bo also added.

Niu Wenqing also understood immediately.It turned out that this group of Qiu Ba wanted money.So Niu Wenqing said to He Fei on the spot: "There are many people in the city, and this county is not willing to harass the people. Just give the general ten pairs of pigs and sheep, and ten altars of fine wine."

Hefei and Zug immediately smiled.They immediately saluted again and said, "My lord really loves the people like a son!" Make a play.You can get this unexpected benefit.He Fei and Chu Ge didn't mind patting the magistrate in front of him.

But the matter was not over yet, Niu Wenqing continued: "The county will give another 300 taels of silver to the strong men in the city. I wonder if you are willing to go to Longtouling to quell the civil uprising?"

These words made He Fei and Chu Ge stunned for a while, isn't it because they fell asleep and met the pillow?Is there such a good thing?The two of them tried their best to hold back their laughter, bowed deeply and said in salute: "I would like to follow the order of your lord!"

So He Fei left a hundred soldiers to receive those rewards.The rest of the soldiers immediately set off for Longtouling.He Fei and the others had to hurry!They were afraid that they would really not be able to hold back their laughter after they stayed.

After He Fei and the others left, Master Ma also patted his horse in a low voice: "The proprietor is really wise. It didn't cost any fruit, he made those Qiu Ba work hard, and even handed over to Eunuch Ye. It really kills multiple birds with one stroke!"

"Stop talking nonsense! This county is also sympathetic to the people of Longtouling, and doesn't want them to suffer more casualties. It has absolutely nothing to do with the eunuch party."

Of course Master Ma knew that Niu Wenqing and other civil servants were unwilling to draw themselves too close to eunuchs in the eyes of outsiders, so he continued to compliment: "Students have a villain's heart. But the boss just used a little trick to attract Those officers and soldiers are willing to sacrifice their lives. The proprietor really has the style of a general!"

"Hahaha!" Niu Wenqing could no longer hold back his smug laughter.In fact, Master Ma was right. Niu Wenqing was willing to spend an extra 300 taels of silver to let He Fei and the others go to Longtouling, just because he wanted to befriend Ye Gonggong.Besides, those rewards will also be raised by the gentry in the city, and they don't need to spend Niu Wenqing's own money, so why is he so distressed?
