Chapter Forty: Horse Thief Suffering, Living in Peace and Thinking of Danger
How can justice be achieved when the powerful and powerful are colluding?
During the chat, Jiang Yang learned that the former county magistrate's hometown was in the south, and his family could be considered a noble family.
No matter how much Yang Xinjun requested, Jiang Yang always had a bitter look on his face.
In the end, Yang Xinjun could only grit his teeth and said: "If you are willing to help me, I will tell you the whole story of how the former county magistrate died. I can guarantee that this information will be useful."
Jiang Yang suddenly remembered that the former county magistrate went to the countryside to protect him on the road.
A flash of light flashes in the eyes, and being prepared for danger in times of peace is the foundation of long-term survival.
The death of the former county magistrate was unclear. It was necessary for him to investigate clearly. If there was something evil behind it, he might as well be on guard.
But what should I do with this girl now?
Jiang Yang felt a little dizzy for a moment, and two voices flashed in his mind.
Green villain: "Take her in. It's not a sin to pass through the door."
Red villain: "A gentleman is cautious in his independence and does not bully the darkroom."
Green villain: "What are you afraid of? She took the initiative."
Red villain: "Even so, you can only get his heart, not hers."
Green villain: "Just get the body, why do you need the heart? You are so cruel!"
Red villain: "...getting her heart can unlock more poses."
"..." Jiang Yang was speechless, and after some internal confusion, he immediately had an idea.
First he took out his robe and put it on Miss Yang.
It's disrespectful to watch for a long time.
Then he said: "I have an idea. It may require Miss Yang's cooperation. There may be some taboos. Please forgive me, Miss Yang."
"It's okay, I believe you are a good person." Miss Yang nodded.
Good person? Good person card? Jiang Yang was speechless.
Fortunately, in this day and age, "good guy" doesn't have a derogatory connotation.
He continued: "The county magistrate can die, and so can Miss Yang. If Miss Yang is willing, I will announce to the public in the past few days that Miss Yang has died due to overwork and illness."
"I will send someone to take the coffin and the former county magistrate's son to the county town and hand it over to the gentlemen above for placement."
"How are you doing?"
"It doesn't matter, as long as we can get out of the tiger's mouth, we can just rely on my lord's orders." Yang Xinjun nodded.
Jiang Yang patted the table and said, "Let's arrange it this way. You can go back and rest early."
But Yang Xinjun did not leave. Instead, he looked at Jiang Yang and said, "Sir, let me tell you the cause of death of the former county magistrate."
"Oh? Please tell me and listen." Jiang Yang added a pot of tea and was almost awake from the wine, so he said.
Listening to Yang Xinyun's narration, although the former county magistrate was born in a noble family, he studied in the books of sages and inspired to do things for the people. Although he was not very evil, he was extremely lustful, which opened the door for his own travels.
It's not full of evil, but it can't be said to be full of charity either.
"..." Jiang Yang thought that the county magistrate must be young.
It is said that young people are lustful and old people love money.
It is said that after the former county magistrate took office, he planned to work hard to govern, but the nobles blocked him. He insisted on going his own way, and everything came to nothing.
Later, during the autumn harvest, a thorough inspection of the fields was carried out with the intention of collecting taxes and collecting money, but it offended the interests of those people.
When I went to the countryside again for inspection, I heard that I was robbed by horse bandits. Although the county magistrate was not injured, he died on the way due to other reasons.
When the body was sent back afterwards, Yang Xinjun inspected it carefully and found that there were traces of binding on his hands and feet. As they said, the horse bandit had not done anything to the county magistrate Qiu.
It was also discovered that the county magistrate's body was an abnormal black color, as if someone had poisoned him.
Jiang Yang broke into a cold sweat when he heard this.
He quickly interjected: "You mean, the horse bandits captured the county magistrate that day and forced him to drink poison. He was killed?"
"Yes." Yang Xinjun nodded expressionlessly and said: "The murderer must be someone from the county. I don't know who it is. I hope you will be careful."
Jiang Yang nodded, but he was thinking about something in his heart.
Today at the wine bureau, Wang Yuanwai mentioned to me about the autumn tax collection, and his fight with Wang Yuanwai caused the price of grain to rise, and the grain he brought in from the county town was robbed by a group of horse bandits.
It seems that everything has been figured out. As for why he was so generous today and directly bought the agency rights of Liandao.
It seems that he doesn't really want to give the money, in his opinion it is just for himself.
I'm afraid I've already thought about it in my heart. I'm just afraid that like the previous county magistrate, I will die accidentally.
You said that the former county magistrate died unexpectedly, why didn't the government investigate? There are two points. First, the county magistrate has no money. Who will do things for you without money? Second, the world has changed.
The tragic situation of the Anshi Rebellion has gradually revealed its symptoms, and the wind must have its shadow.
It seems that the training of Xiangyong and the construction of armor must be accelerated.
Jiang Yang was thinking, when he heard Yang Xinjun, who was walking to the door, suddenly stop and said with a smile: "Sir, you are really a good person."
"....".
Oh, swipe the good guy card twice.
Jiang Yang was speechless, he knew it, he knew it, both ears knew it.
Jiang Yang nodded helplessly and said, "Go and rest early."
Who would have thought that Yang Xinyun suddenly turned red and said, "Sir, I have no one to rely on, and I will rely on you from now on."
He said and ran away with a red face.
Jiang Yang was left sitting there speechless.
Good guy... isn't it said that women in ancient times were very reserved? Why does it feel like this sixteen-year-old girl is like a wolf and a tiger, constantly hinting at herself?
Don't think about those things for now.
After guessing what happened between Wang Yuanwai and the horse bandit, Jiang Yang no longer felt sleepy.
With nothing to do, I lit a kerosene lamp and started writing training methods.
Although he was anxious, Jiang Yang kept hinting to himself, I know you are anxious, but don't be anxious yet.
The first point of training for Xiangyong is to have a place. Jiang Yang decided to stay by the river embankment. There is no need to worry about food for the time being. Ma Feng will provide it uniformly, so he can bear it.
There are no financial problems for the time being.
As for training, Jiang Yang wrote two sets of plans, the first one being a quick fix.
Temporarily abandon a certain degree of discipline to improve combat capabilities.
It is mainly divided into physical training, military formation training, and weapons training.
In Jiang Yang's plan, the first batch of armor must be heavy, so physical fitness must keep up, otherwise it would be too much to be unable to walk while wearing the armor, or unable to lift a knife.
Military formation is a traditional training, which can keep the formation stable and achieve both offense and defense. It can also improve the level of running-in and boost the morale of the army.
As for the final weapon training, it is exactly as the name implies. You must be able to chop and slash, but you must not be able to punch a turtle.
In the middle of the journey, Jiang Yang added some short queue training to improve his military skills.
In addition, Jiang Yang also developed a long-term training manual.
Among them, Jiang Yangke's supplement was more comprehensive, and he simply copied the contemporary training model.
Combat in various terrains, individual combat, and ideological education are all included.
