Horse Bandit

When he heard that someone was going to harm him, Zhang Zongxian immediately stood up and looked at Qian Dianshi with a fierce look.

Qian Dianshi's hair straightened when he saw it and he said quickly:

"The wife of Huang Shilang, the county magistrate, went everywhere in Yan'an Prefecture to find people to file a lawsuit against you, and finally found the people in the torture room of that government office. After the subordinates found out, they went to the execution room and asked them to hand over the person. At first, they refused to hand over the person.

I also want to make sure the county honors you.

Later, after the government officials praised the county minister, they didn't dare to make trouble anymore. The lower officials went to find them and gave the torture room a thousand li of silver without permission, hoping that they would hand over Huang Shilang's wife. They took the money and said it was

People have already run away."

After listening to what Qian Dianshi said, Zhang Zongxian felt very unhappy and thought: He is another person who only accepts money and does nothing. A government official dares to blackmail the county magistrate, and he is waiting for him.

I originally thought it was some kind of county treasure, but after finding out, Zhang Zongxian sat back angrily and said:

"Who do you think it is? It's just such a clown. It's okay. Then the thousand taels of money Dianshi went to report to Ding Bo."

"The county magistrate must be on guard against that poisonous woman! It is said that Huang Shilang's business on the grassland is looked after by this poisonous woman's brother. This poisonous woman's brother is a horse thief who is feared by everyone on the grassland.

Nicknamed Poisonous Scorpion, he committed all kinds of evil inside and outside the border wall and committed many major crimes. Several raids by the border army failed to damage his foundation. It is said that he has no less than 500 riders."

"Those losers in the border army are so incompetent that they can't even deal with horse thieves. But don't worry Qian Dianshi, have you seen the young men training outside? What kind of poisonous scorpion dares to come and let him go and never come back."

"The county magistrate uses his troops like a god, so you don't need to be afraid of the horse bandits. It's just that it's easy to hide with open guns and hard to defend against hidden arrows! The county magistrate still needs to be careful!"

"Let Qian Dianshi worry about it, don't worry! It's winter now, and I will stay here at Changsheng Fort and won't go anywhere. I'll worry about Qian Dianshi's work in the yamen."

"Not working hard is what a subordinate should do. The county magistrate doesn't know how the magistrate's grandson is doing in the magistrate's academy. If he is stubborn, the magistrate will punish him severely."

"Your grandson is having class in the front yard. The academy has its own rules. If Qian Dianshi is worried, you can go and have a look."

"It is his blessing to be honored by the county as his teacher. It was Xiaguan's wife who missed her grandson and asked Xiaguan to bring some clothes."

"We're married from another generation. Let's go see your grandson after Qian Dianshi class." After saying this, Zhang Zongxian picked up the tea bowl.

"Thank you to the county for your understanding."

After Qian Dianshi left, Li Jiasan notified Hu Biao to come and ask to see Zhang Zongxian. Zhang Zongxian happened to have something to tell him and asked him to come directly to the study.

"Manager Hu is here"

After Hu Biao sat down, he said to Zhang Zongxian:

"Last time, the county magistrate asked me to add two wheels to the cart, but the wheelwright refused to do it, saying that it was useless and inconvenient to turn around. Even if the horses were mounted, they would have to eat food to work, so why not

The two-wheeled bullock cart saves food."

No? Damn, how did Europe do it? You have to think about it. Go back and ask Carpenter Xu what happened. Zhang Zongxian did not continue to dwell on the matter and ordered.

"Then forget it for now. How is your wool collection?"

"The wool from the county is the wool left after the slaughter of the sheep that were exchanged, and there is no special arrangement for people to collect it."

From now on, you will arrange for people to start collecting wool, and ask the banker to give the horse market one silver coin for every ten kilograms of wool. You will arrange the specific collection.

"How much wool does the county magistrate need to collect?"

"If it's not enough, you have to let it go. The wool officer has already found a way to deal with it. Soon the common people will be able to wear warm clothes made of wool."

"The county magistrate understands this. He will send people to the grassland to collect wool when he returns. It's free. A pound of wine can be exchanged for several thousand pounds of wool."

"By the way, there is a bandit leader named Poisonous Scorpion on the grassland."

"The county magistrate is the leader of the horse bandits, whose nickname is Poisonous Scorpion. This man is powerful and has hundreds of subordinates. He is extremely ruthless in his actions and often robs caravans without leaving any survivors.

He got the name of the poisonous scorpion because he offended several tribes on the grassland. Those tribes united to suppress him. He dragged dozens of riders around the grassland, and from time to time he would return to those tribes.

It's a bit cruel, just like that poisonous scorpion. If you don't pay attention, you will be stung by him.

In the end, those tribes couldn't do anything to him, so they forced him to leave his hometown and return his pasture. From then on, the name of this poisonous scorpion spread throughout the country."

"He seems to be a person. Some people say that he is Huang Shilang's uncle. Huang Shilang took his way to move things in the grassland. Huang Shilang's wife and son are missing now. If they are really relatives, they must have gone to join him."

"Even if the county magistrate is really a relative, there is no need to worry too much. It is not easy for a large group of people to enter this wall. No matter how incompetent the army here is, they cannot let hundreds of horse bandits enter the wall. If they let in, they will not lose a few hundred households.

I can’t explain what’s going on with the governor’s Yamen.”

Zhang Zongxian also felt that at most dozens of horse bandits could sneak in and carry out an assassination or something. Hundreds of horse bandits came in and there were villages along the way and they couldn't hide. If the army dared to let them in, he, a civil servant, was killed by the horse bandits.

If you can't explain it with the head of a household, then you have to have the head of the general soldier of Qianhu!

However, he could not be careless and immediately told Hu Biao:

"You arrange for your people to inquire more about this poisonous scorpion, and you should also pay attention to the horse market. Let your guys be prepared if something happens outside. They must protect the horse market. If dozens of people are touched,

If a horse bandit causes havoc in the county, it will be a dereliction of duty on my part."

"I understand. I'll go back and make arrangements now."

After Hu Biao left, Zhang Zongxian still felt uneasy, so he called Liangchen and Boren to explain the situation.

Let them make a defense plan and arrange sentries and beacons to monitor the movements on the grassland. For the defense of the county, he asked his good ministers and Boren to arrange manpower to be more vigilant from now on to prevent horse bandits from sneaking into the city.

They also need to think about how to defend the city against a bandit attack outside, how to organize the young men in the city to assist in the defense, and how to recruit the young men outside the city to encircle and suppress the bandits. Are there enough weapons to arm the young men? These require them to organize the officers to make plans. This is

It is also a test for them.

Zhang Zongxian asked the two of them to make a plan and submit it within three days.

He told the two of them to make a plan, and called Yunong to ask if any strangers had come to the county recently and if anyone was asking about the situation of Changsheng Fort.

Yunong didn't know that the teacher was suddenly going to ask him these things, so he answered quickly even though he was confused.

Teacher, since you took office, there have been more and more caravans in Qingjian County. Strangers come every day, but their places of food and accommodation are watched by disciples. Basically, they come to do business.

Also, ever since you came to Changsheng Fort, and the recent training of young adults, there have been many people watching the excitement around. Otherwise, the disciples will arrange for people to drive them away.

"Yunong, you haven't been able to find Huang Shilang's wife and her son. Now there is news that they have gone to the grassland to defect to the poisonous scorpion. They will come to kill me in the near future to take revenge."

Yu Nong was very frightened after hearing this. Where did the master get the news? Why didn't he know at all? Did the master arrange for others to do the same thing as me besides me? Did the master blame me for being incompetent?
