The magistrate of Yanshi County was named Wu Guangzhi, but the people in the county could not see his lofty ambitions. They only saw his claws for grabbing wealth, and then they realized that his surname and given name were one and cannot be separated. Of course, people without Guangzhi only wanted to
He wanted to make a fortune, so he was called Wu Shacai.
This magistrate of Wuxian County does not have a glamorous resume. He is not from a major, nor has he been to the imperial college, or even to the state college. However, he has a solid background. He is one of the three confidants who can be relied upon.
, followed Zhe Keqiu for more than 20 years, from a young clerk to an old staff member, and finally two years ago, he got his wish and became the magistrate of Yanshi County, becoming a county parent official, and finally had the opportunity to display his wealth-making skills.
Therefore, Aunt Yan said that it is useless to persuade Wuzhi County by looking for the reputation of the county. In fact, there is another sentence behind it. Instead of looking for famous people to persuade, it is better to ask Brother Kong Fang for persuasion. But now Brother Kong Fang cannot do it. Wuzhi County is not only good at making money, but also loyal to Zhe.
Keqiu, captured the Western Army scout, no matter how much money he was given, he had to be handed over to Zhe Keqiu. Money could fill his job, but Zhe Keqiu could destroy his job. Which one?
Which one is more important, he knows very well in his heart.
The reason why we delayed leaving until noon was because there was no prison wagon in the county and we couldn't borrow it. We had to find a carpenter to convert a horse-drawn carriage into a prison wagon, so we couldn't leave until noon.
In the lobby, Wuzhixian was pacing back and forth with his hands behind his hands, and one of his close men kept reporting to him on the progress of the prison van production.
"It's almost! It's almost! The carpenter said, just install two more fences."
Wuzhi County breathed a sigh of relief and quickly ordered his men: "Go to County Lieutenant Yang and ask him to bring all the archers and prepare to go to Luoyang with me."
The men rushed away. Wuzhi County looked at dozens of leaflets. They were found from the Western Army scouts. There were more than fifty leaflets. They actually distributed leaflets in the countryside. It was really strange. Why not distribute them in the city?
Wuzhi County still doesn't know that 1,500 leaflets have been distributed in the city last night, but no one has told him yet.
After a while, his subordinates ran back and said: "Wang Yasi said that the Yang County government sent archers to the countryside to capture the Western Army scouts' comrades. He said that villagers came to report that three more Western Army scouts were found in Songzhuang."
"What? Three more people were discovered."
Wuzhi County's eyes widened, "How many archers are there in the county government now?"
"Reporting to the County Lord, all the archers were taken away by County Lieutenant Yang, and not a single one was left behind."
"asshole!"
Wuzhi County was so angry that he stamped his feet and cursed, "How did I tell him that I wanted to escort the criminal to Luoyang? He took away all the archers, how could I escort him?"
"County Lord, maybe we can catch a few more and bring them back. Wouldn't it be better if we have more people?"
"What a heck, he thought he was a fool and would be waiting for him to catch him in Songzhuang? He ran away a long time ago, and he delayed me from escorting the prisoner."
At this time, there was a sudden commotion outside, and then someone came to report, "County Lord, a group of beggars are making a big fuss in the prison city, saying that we have arrested their brothers, and demanding their release immediately. There are too many of them, and the prisoners are blocking their way."
I can’t stand it any longer, please ask the archers for support!”
"Even beggars come to make trouble, damn Yang Xiuyu!"
Yang Xiuyu is Yang County Lieutenant. He took all the archers to the countryside to arrest people. Now the beggars are making trouble and no one is suppressing them. How can Wuzhi County not be angry?
"Come with me!"
Wuzhi County led seven or eight government officials to the outside of the county government office.
The archers are fast officers who have martial arts and weapons, and are the backbone of the county government, while the government servants are just odd jobs, waiting to die all day long, knowing nothing but running errands, and following the county king to build up their reputation.
Yu Shouzhong has been waiting outside the county government office for a long time. A spiked arrow has been placed on his bow. They are scouts. Scouts must not take action easily, but once they take action, they will do it quickly, accurately and ruthlessly. They will never be sloppy or underhanded.
Show mercy.
A group of people walked out of the county government office. At this time, a little beggar ran up and said: "Master, my aunt asked me to tell you that the person wearing a hat and a green robe is the county magistrate. County Lieutenant Yang went to the countryside with all the archers.
"
Yu Shouzhong drew his bow fiercely like a full moon. When the string came loose, a wolf-fang arrow shot toward Wuzhi County like lightning. Poor Wuzhi County, a civil servant who had never practiced listening to the wind. When he raised his head, a wolf-fang arrow appeared in front of him.
In front of him, before he could react, "Poof!" an arrow shot through Wuzhixian's throat. Wuzhixian fell on his back without even a scream.
Yu Shouzhong waved his spear and led his men to kill him. Several government officials were stunned and suddenly saw two golden soldiers on horseback rushing towards them. They thought it was the golden soldiers who were coming. They shouted: "The county king is here."
Arrow! County Lord."
Yu Shouzhong was already in front of him, and his spear pierced the chest of a yamen servant instantly. Then he and his men stabbed left and right with their spears, killing five more yamen servants. The remaining two yamen servants fled in.
Entered the county government.
Yu Shouzhong did not intend to kill anyone, but to rescue his captured subordinates. He led another subordinate and ran toward the prison.
As soon as they arrived at the prison door, hundreds of beggars had already broken down the prison door and let out more than a hundred captured prisoners. Two beggars were supporting one person, who was Yu Shouzhong's captured man. It looked like he had been beaten badly.
But I can still walk.
"Mount!"
Yu Shouzhong shouted, and his men endured the pain and got on their horses. The three of them urged the horses to run out of the city.
Captain Yan heard that Wuzhi County was shot through the neck with an arrow and was dead. She stuck out her tongue and said: "My dear, a spy is so decisive and ruthless. No wonder Chen Qing was able to defeat the puppet Qi army and the Jin soldiers."
She quickly shouted: "Let Erlang leave quickly, this place has nothing to do with us!"
A beggar shouted a few times, and hundreds of them fled in all directions, leaving only a mess outside the county government office and the prison door.
Two days later, his confidant Wu Guangzhi was killed, and the news that Western Army leaflets were discovered in various counties of Henan Prefecture reached Luoyang City. General Zhe Keqiu became furious and prepared to lead his troops to Yanshi County to arrest the murderer. At this moment, in Luoyang City,
Countless leaflets were also found, even in the military camp. Zhe Keqiu's anger turned into panic and nervousness. He had just received news that more than 300 soldiers left the camp without permission last night and were missing.
There were deserters in his army. For any general, deserters were an extremely terrible thing, which meant that the morale of the army was on the verge of collapse.
There was no warning at all, the morale of the army was about to collapse? Zhe Keqiu immediately realized that it should be the role of those leaflets. Forty percent of his soldiers were locals, and the widespread appearance of leaflets in Henan Prefecture was to influence these 40% of the soldiers.
and their families.
His staff, Mo Wentai, advised: "The opinion of humble officials is still the same as yesterday. The commander-in-chief must first appease the soldiers. He can improve their treatment a little bit, and strictly control them. No outsiders are allowed to have contact with the army. Their
The family will not have any influence on the army."
Zhe Keqiu nodded and said worriedly: "I have accepted what you said. The treatment notice will be implemented today. What I am worried about now is not the army, but the source of the chaos in the army. These Western Army scouts must be caught. If
If we don’t catch them, we don’t know what evil moth will appear next time. We must catch them, no matter where they are hiding?”
"Commander, I think the possibility of hiding in the county below is extremely small."
"Why?"
"It's very simple. The only value of the county below is the families of soldiers. The other party has already distributed leaflets and achieved the purpose of inciting the families of soldiers. They will not stay in the counties for a long time. Luoyang is a strategic place. They will definitely hide in Luoyang.
In order to find these people in the city, we must search the whole city, there is no other way!"
"After all, there are more than 200,000 people in the city, and there are many empty houses. How can we search them?"
Mo Wentai smiled sinisterly and said: "Commander, just because we don't know, it doesn't mean that others don't know. Under heavy rewards, there must be brave men!"
