Chapter 86 Sin City

Two petty officials came to see me.

He has a swarthy face and looks very serious and is called Hu Zhang.

The tall and thin official stepped forward and said, "Zhen Siwen, the little man, has seen the Ming Dynasty."

Zhen Siwen.

"The name is good." Yang Xuan nodded, "Where are the others?"

It's already been a while since he arrived at the county house, so it's time for the officials to arrive.

Are you trying to intimidate me?

No matter how good-tempered Yang Xuan is, he can't bear it anymore.

Hu Zhang's cheeks trembled, "Mingfu is gone."

"What do you mean?" Yang Xuan sneered.

Is there anarchy? Yang Xuan: "..."

"In the Ming Dynasty, the captain of the team, Qian Mo, wants to see you."

Qian Mo was a standard martial artist. He came in and saluted, "I've seen the Ming Dynasty before."

The official rank of the captain is higher than that of the county magistrate, but here, the county magistrate is the boss.

"How many people do you have under your command?" Yang Xuan asked. He felt that there were at least a few hundred people.

"Fifty."

Yang Xuan sat there calmly.

Zhen Siwen couldn't help but praise: "Mingfu is calm and calm."

Yang Xuan, who was in a numb state, casually asked: "How is my ex?"

Zhen Siwen smiled and said: "When the former Ming Dynasty heard that there were only fifty sergeants in the city, his face turned pale."

I want to be white too.

Yang Xuan noticed that Qian Mo had been looking at him.

"How can fifty people defend the city?"

Qian Mo said: "There are hundreds of prisoners in the city, and it serves as a death camp during wartime."

This is cannon fodder!

No!

Yang Xuan thought of a word.

Atonement camp!

Qian Mo continued: "When necessary, the people in the city can also fight."

"Common people? Why are you doing this?" Cao Ying was puzzled.

Qian Mo said:

"There are no people in the city."???

Even Wang Laoer was surprised.

"What are the people in the city?"

Qian Mo looked up.

"They are all human criminals."

He added: "It's just a lighter crime."

What's this?

Suzaku said faintly: "City of Sin."

Zhen Siwen took a step forward and said, "Some people want to follow their families and want to follow them. It's difficult to leave them alone. The court will let them go."

Huang Zhang added, “This is population filling.”

Later, Yang Xuan and others discussed matters.

Wang Laoer squatted outside the door. In the duty room, Yang Xuan and the four of them sat down together.

Looking at the empty tables, Yi Niang couldn't help but miss Chang'an's melon seed snacks.

Cao Ying looked solemn and said, "Without the people, how can we govern? After much thought, I can only absorb the people..."

The old thief said dissatisfiedly: "If it weren't for Mr. Lang, would you rather come to Taiping County?"

Cao Ying shook her head. The old thief wanted to pat the case a few times. Yi Niang snorted softly. The old thief changed patting to caressing and said: "You don't want to come to Taiping County, why do you think the people can come?"

"Those landless people would rather go to the city to beg than come to a place like this where no one can poop!"

The old thief is aggressive.

Cao Ying sneered, "If the choice is between starvation and survival, can the people still choose to starve to death?"

The old thief said disdainfully: "Who will provide the money and food for this journey? Also, Taiping County is located in the northern Xinjiang, and there is constant war. Who is willing to come? You are from a good background, so naturally you don't know the thoughts of the people, but I do."

Cao Ying squinted her eyes slightly.

The old thief rolled up his sleeves...

"Ahem!"

Only then did everyone realize that the lord had been ignored.

Yang Xuan tapped the table lightly and said, "Ask and solve problems. This is how we do things."

Cao Ying and the old thief stood up and saluted.

"Please sir, reprimand me!"

The attitude of the two of them is very correct.

"Pay attention to your words and deeds." Yang Xuan pressed his hands and suddenly had the absurd feeling that he was the emperor and was watching his ministers quarrel.

Everyone is looking at him.

Waiting for his decision.

Yang Xuan said slowly: "The people don't want to come, so what makes them reluctant to come, let's change it!"

Discover problems, ask questions, and solve problems.

"The husband is wise."

Everyone praised.

Hypocrisy.

Yang Xuan ordered: "From now on, Lao Cao will lead all affairs in the county."

It's okay for Lao Cao to come up with a vicious plan, but he seems a little powerless when it comes to strategic issues.

It would also be good to let him be an administrator.

Cao Ying stood up and said, "Take orders."

"Lao Jia."

The old thief stood up, his face glowing red! He glanced at Cao Ying by the way.

Yang Xuan said: "I'll leave it to you to find out the news in the city. If you have any questions, please contact Qian Mo."

"Take orders!"

The old thief smiled extremely happily.

Yi Niang asked: "Where is the slave?"

Ahem!

Yang Xuan pointed to the people in the room, including himself.

"We all obey your command."

Ouchi Superintendent.

Yi Niang nodded happily.

Wang Laoer was still heartless. Yang Xuan smiled when he saw her and said, "Lao Er, just follow me."

Cao Ying praised: "Second son, just listen to Mr. Lang. For the sake of cultivation, there is nothing better than following Mr. Lang."

Everyone looked at Wang Laoer who was squatting beside him kindly.

The old thief immediately wandered around the city.

The city is simple, with only a few streets and alleys busy.

The old thief turned half around and saw someone playing leaf play outside the door, so he went over to watch.

Several men raised their eyes, their eyes more alert.

One of them said slowly: "There is no gambling here."

The old thief sighed: "I love this too, but the Ming Dynasty doesn't like it, so I can only go out to find people to gamble with."

Several men looked a little surprised, and one of them asked tentatively: "Together?"

"OK!"

The old thief sat down and scratched his head, "I don't understand much, please give me some advice."

"hehe!"

Several men smiled very innocently.

"There are no fathers and sons in casinos."

"That's all."

The old thief took out his money bag and said, "That's it. If you win, you will be happy in the brothel. If you lose, you will go back to work."

The money bag was not small. Several men exchanged glances and smiled connotatively.

The cards are laid out and let’s begin…

The old thief's action of touching the cards was very strange. He first reached out and touched the cards, as if he was asking for someone's consent, and then he touched the cards.

The man opposite smiled and said, "What did you do before?"

The old thief answered seriously, "It's like touching the bones."

Several men looked at each other, and one of them smiled, "Who has touched it?"

"This, let me think about it." The old thief looked at the leaf card in his hand and said: "I haven't touched the emperor's, I have touched the king's, I've touched the princess, I've touched the general's... almost all of them.

Noble man."

Several men looked at him and suddenly laughed.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

The old thief said calmly: "I often tell the truth, but no one believes me."

The game continues.

The old thieves have their own clichés.

At first, some of the men refused to say much, but after they became a little anxious about losing, they started talking about what happened in the city.

"There are people of all kinds, including those who kill, those who rob, those who steal, those who cheat and kidnap..."

"The most despised ones are those who have affairs and those who insult women. Look at the one in front of you. That one is insulting women."

The old thief rolled his eyes out of habit, and when he looked carefully, he saw a tall, fierce man walking towards him with his head lowered, and his waist was actually bent.

"In the beginning he was brave enough to be aggressive, but he learned to behave after being severely beaten. Now he always bends down and lowers his head when walking in the city, otherwise he would be beaten severely if he went up to him."

"That's it!"

The gamble continues...

Yang Xuan was not so lucky, so he led people to inspect the city early in the morning.

"On weekdays, those serious criminals are doing nothing in the city." Hu Zhang introduced dryly.

Zhen Siwen followed on the other side, "Originally we ordered them to farm, but horse thieves and those tribes came to plunder frequently, and the criminals ran away. At that time, no one could chase them. After several times, only the serious ones were left.

When people go out to farm, they have nothing to do."

This explanation was very clear, and Yang Xuan gave Zhen Siwen an approving look. Zhen Siwen was startled at first, and then his face blossomed into a smile.

"Over there...over there..." Zhen Siwen was about to introduce the other side, but several men were sitting outside the house playing leaf tricks.

Open gambling!

Zhen Siwen was furious and just wanted to scold him.

Yang Xuan coughed dryly, "I have nothing to do all day long. What can I do if I don't gamble? That's all for today."

Not only was Zhen Siwen in disbelief, but the captain Qian Mo who was following behind him was also greatly surprised.

The crime city is boring in every possible way, and the external situation is dangerous. What's the point of living without gambling or having fun?

This young man Mingfu seems to be very talkative!

There was a big man pouting nearby. Amidst the whistles, several gambling men put away their leaf cards. In desperation, a man stretched out his hand.

"Let's feel the bones."

The old thief stretched out his hand and touched it, "It's a bit lucky."

This old liar!

After everyone passed this period, Zhen Siwen became more enthusiastic, "There are merchants in the city, and we have all the basic necessities of life."

Commercial tax is also a tax source!

Yang Xuan asked: "How many shops are there?"

"Three families."

Yang Xuan put his hands behind his back and quickened his pace.

"Woo..."

A horn sound came from the direction of the city.

Zhen Siwen's body trembled, and Qian Mo was the first to respond, "Mingfu, look, Fengyan, we have discovered the enemy."

Yang Xuan saw the beacon smoke slowly rising on the right, "Go and have a look."

Along the way, Yang Xuan saw that the "common people" didn't panic at all and were doing whatever they were supposed to do.

This calmness made Yang Xuan feel dizzy.

There are already more sergeants and hundreds of men on the top of the city.

The two leaders were Diao She and Zhao Youcai whom Yang Xuan saw when he entered the city.

"Ming Mansion, these two are the leaders among the criminals. They have some prestige. They are usually in charge of those criminals." Zhen Si Wenhua is a caring secretary.

"I've seen the Ming Dynasty."

The two offenders saluted the leader.

Yang Xuan went to the top of the city and saw smoke and dust in the distance.

The sound of horse hooves could be heard faintly, like thunder in the sky.

Black shadows appeared on the horizon, constantly moving.

Woo!

The trumpet sounds.

Qian Mo said solemnly: "Ming Mansion, the horse thief Deng Hu is here. Three hundred horses."

Yang Xuan squinted at the rapidly approaching horse thief and said, "Are you here to rob?"

"Yes." Zhen Siwen's legs were shaking.

He pretended to have dropped something and squatted down, rubbing his face quickly.

Said softly:

"Sven, you can do it! You can definitely do it!"

He took a deep breath, stood up again, and looked calmly. Cao Ying turned her eyes and saw him, and nodded slightly, "You are so calm, you are considered a talent. I will give it a try next time."

The horse thieves rushed to the city. The leader, Deng Hu, was surrounded by people. He said proudly with a beard on his face: "I heard that a young county magistrate has arrived, so I came to congratulate him and shout out!"

A horseman rushed out of the group of horse thieves and rushed to the front of the city and shouted: "I heard that a new young county magistrate has arrived. I am here to congratulate you."

"Sending you a congratulatory gift!" Deng Hu said with a ferocious smile.

A corpse was dragged out by war horses.

Zhen Siwen's lips trembled, "Mingfu, the farmer who came back earlier said... there is one person missing."

"Open the door to offer the city, and you will not die if you wait around!"

The horse thief was shouting back and forth.

"Mingfu!"

Their eyes were locked on Yang Xuan.

Everyone is waiting for his decision.

Yang Xuan stretched out his hand.

"Bow and arrow!"

Wang Laoer handed over the bow and arrows.

Yang Xuan opened his bow and nocked an arrow, slowly moving with the horse thief.

Release your hands.

"If the city gate is not opened, all the men will be killed and the women will be enslaved after the city is breached..."

The horse thief shouted triumphantly from outside the bow and arrow range.

The arrow penetrated his chest like lightning.

Plop!

The horse thief fell from his horse.

The people at the top of the city couldn't help but cheer.

"color!"

Deng Hu glanced at Yang Xuan with gloomy eyes and drew his sword.

"After the city is broken, no chickens or dogs will be left behind!"
