Chapter 142
Now Li Chongjiu went to the prison in person, only to see that in the water prison, the jailer was impatiently urging Gao Chu's family to leave.

The old man over there, his wife and children couldn't stop crying, and a seven-foot boy in Gaochu was also crying, saying: "Father, please forgive the child for his unfilial crime."

"My son, don't worry that I see Tong Shou as a good official. If you beg him, there is still a possibility of surviving. At worst, I will exchange my old man's life for yours."

There was a lot of crying here, which made Li Chongjiu, who was going to release Gao Chu, feel a little embarrassed.

"See Tong Shou! See Tong Shou!"

When the jailer saw Li Chongjiu, he immediately came to greet him.

"Keep the mirror!" Old Man Gao Chu couldn't help shouting anxiously.

Li Chongjiu nodded slightly, and said: "Gao Lu was suffering. I have found out that you have worked hard to hold on to the city within two months of the county's death in battle, to preserve the city of Feihu County, and not to be burned by thieves. And Make it not enter Yanmen, the second county of Taiyuan."

"Right now, I appoint you as the school lieutenant. As for the award, it will be rewarded after it is presented to the court. This Marquis has made this decision. Do you have any objection?"

"Thank you, Lord Hou. On behalf of the dog, I thank Lord Hou for his life-saving grace, and I will repay you from generation to generation!"

After the jailer released Gao Chu, the other party was quite calm, and said, "Thank you, Lord Hou, but the thieves are powerful now, and how to deal with the lowly, I ask Lord Hou to show me."

Li Chongjiu said with a smile: "It's just as usual, with the high school lieutenant, I and the people of this city will have no worries."

"Thank you, Lord Marquis, for your trust."

At that moment, Gao Chu stepped forward and went directly to the north gate to take over the military power.

Soon the other three gates also got their rewards, and Eto and the others had firmly grasped the control of the city gates.

After the news in his hands was grasped on all sides, Li Chongjiu's spirit was shaken immediately, and he ordered all the armored cavalry to gather and station in the county government.

There must be a team by your side to prepare for any eventuality.

In addition, Li Chongjiu also went to the prison to quickly browse through all the cases of death row prisoners. Most of these people owed taxes, rent, or committed theft.

Li Chongjiu saw that except for crimes such as rape and homicide, he released four or fifty people together and incorporated them into his subordinates, promising that if the bandits retreated, they would never blame the past.

Li Chongjiu didn't close his eyes, and then called the county yamen, the boss, Liucao, the book office, and even the teachers of the county school, and talked one by one. Everyone had a warm chat, which made many Everyone is flattered.

Of course, Li Chongjiu also learned a lot about Feihu County by side-splitting.

This continued until dawn the next day, when Li Chongjiu asked Bo and Gongcao to go to Cheng Mansion in person, and asked Cheng Cheng, the county magistrate, to come to the county government office.

In Chengfu.

Zhu Bo explained the matter in front of Cheng Chong.

After hearing this, Cheng Chong said: "You told me last night that I already knew about Tong Shou's going to the money bank. After all, I can't hide this matter."

The Lord said in a thin voice: "Zanfu, I don't think Tongshou has the intention of slaying the fish and breaking the net. From my point of view, things are still turning around. What's more, there are thieves attacking the city in the outer circle. Tongshou doesn't dare to pursue the treasury at this time. .”

Cheng Chong snorted coldly, and said, "I don't want to pursue it now, but what if the thief retreats? How can a county magistrate in my district win the fight against Tong Shou."

"We must let the other party compromise at this time, otherwise it will be a big deal. If I let the thieves into the city, everyone will be killed. Isn't it just Wang Xuba who is a fake Yan? If I hadn't sold the bow and crossbow in the arsenal to this person, where would he be?" With today's roaring crowd of one hundred thousand people, after the city is broken, he will never kill me because of his old love."

"If you can't do something, let the thieves into the city. When you make a decision, you should make a decision, and there must be no benevolence of a woman."

Seeing that Master Bo's face was pale, Cheng Chong smiled immediately, and said gently and soothingly: "Master Chen, you and I have become friends for a long time, and we will bring your family into our Chengfu first, since Tong Shou intends to negotiate. , we will negotiate with him. If I don’t go to the last step, I don’t want to see the scene of people dying.”

"Qian'er, you go for me, and I will talk about it for a while."

Cheng Chong smiled at his second son and said.

When the people from Chengfu arrived, Bo and Li Chongjiu talked, Cheng Chong was sick and rested in the mansion, and his second son came to visit Li Chongjiu.

Li Chongjiu's heart trembled when he heard that, if Cheng Chong came to explain in person, he would be regretful, but now the next time he came, it showed that he wanted to continue the bandit siege and refused to compromise with Li Chongjiu.

Li Chongjiu's eyes froze when he heard this, and he immediately ordered someone to bring Cheng Chong's second son to the hall.

Cheng Chong's second son Li Chongjiu met yesterday.

As soon as he entered the lobby, he greeted Li Chongjiu as casually as if he were at his own home, and said calmly, "See you, Lord Hou."

Li Chongjiu saw that the other party had a firm demeanor, obviously a young and talented person, and asked a few more questions, only listening to the other party's fluent answers, explaining the fact that his father was unable to come due to illness, without offending Li Chongjiu.

Li Chongjiu couldn't help cherishing his talent, this person was much better than his subordinates Zhou Xu and Ji Chuan, he couldn't help but praise him, and the other party also smiled, obviously he had the demeanor of a son of an aristocratic family, he was not surprised by honor or disgrace.
Li Chongjiu glanced at the other party and asked, "Among your father's three sons, who do you love the most?"

The other party did not expect Li Chongjiu to ask this question suddenly, and said: "Of course it is the elder brother."

"No wonder, no wonder," Li Chongjiu nodded, "Your father was worried that I would pursue the matter of the treasury, so he didn't come in person, and asked you to go on his behalf. It's okay, it's okay, I have pity on you to take it on your father's behalf."

The other party was stunned and obviously did not understand what Li Chongjiu meant.

Li Chongjiu glanced at Zhu Bo again, and put a handful of copper coins on the table.

The two people in the hall saw Li Chongjiu acting like a man, but they didn't know what it meant.

I saw Li Chongjiu said with a smile: "When you left just now, I have already entered the money bank and looked at it. The Zan Mansion and Your Excellency are very polite, and finally left me ten copper coins for a huge money bank, so that I won't be in vain. Take a trip."

The expressions of the two people in the hall changed drastically upon hearing what Li Chongjiu said.

Having said that, Li Chongjiu sprinkled a handful of copper coins on the ground, and around ten fierce soldiers rushed in, knocked their crowns to the ground, and dragged them out with disheveled hair.

The master Bo was so terrified that his feces and urine flowed, he kept begging for mercy loudly, but the second son of the family looked calm and laughed loudly.

"Officer Dog, if you kill me, the whole city will be buried with me!"

Here Cheng Chong is sitting in the room, waiting for the reply from the second son and the master Bo, he can't help but feel a little terrified.

At the same time, in the county government, in front of Kuding and the jailers, Li Chongjiu was wearing armor and threw the heads of the master, the second son of the family, and the arsenal officer on the ground.

Li Chongjiu yelled: "The family conspired against each other, the evidence of the crime is solid, how should you deal with yourself?"

Seeing Li Chongjiu's murderous look, everyone knelt down on the ground and said, "May everything be obeyed."

"Very good," Li Chongjiu drew his sword and said, "You all follow me into the family, and all the men will not be left behind!"
