Rongxian County Magistrate Li Shenchun is quite interesting.
This man has an inverted triangular face and two very big eyes. When he speaks, his eyeballs always like to move around. God knows what is going on in his heart. His fingers are long and slender, just like a woman's.
When he saw Zhao Xi, "Xiang Gong" was long and "Xiang Gong" was short, as if he was very familiar with Zhao Xi, and he kept saying sorry. He was too busy these two days and didn't have time to visit Yunyun.
When Zhao Xi introduced Wang Hengyue, Li Shenchun repeatedly said "I have admired him for a long time, I have admired him for a long time" and then talked about his "Western" experience. Li Shenchun became even more humble and wished he could call himself "a humble person" in front of Wang Hengyue.
Wang Hengyue talked about being ordered to organize and train the new army, and Li Shenchun said something impassioned and impassioned: "The imperial court is in danger, and it is our duty to serve as ministers." In short, they were all clichés. When the topic came to serious matters, Li Shenchun spoke again
He kept complaining, saying only that Rong County was a small place, how poor his parents were, and how difficult it was for him to be an official. He was afraid that he was too ambitious but not strong enough to be able to help. He asked Captain Wang to be considerate.
I didn't expect Li Shenchun to be of any help. I came here just for a meeting. In the future, he will be in charge of his own affairs and I will be in charge of my military affairs. We will not interfere with each other, Wang Hengyue thought to himself.
"The place is not peaceful." Afraid that Wang Hengyue would do something on his own, Li Shenchun quickly changed the subject: "The Revolutionary Party is making trouble everywhere, even in Chengdu. When the Revolutionary Party makes trouble, the bandits also get up. Brother, here we are.
Not long after he took office, he heard that there was a group of bandits on the edge of Rong County. They were called "bangke" here. They often plundered the place and made everyone uneasy. My brother had a headache. He wanted to personally lead the officers and bandits to fight and die to repay the country. However,
After all, we can’t let go of the local elders. Now that Commander Wang is here, it’s the best thing. Commander Wang has raised an elite new army, and he should be able to work hard to sway them and restore peace to the place."
He died to repay the country. I have an elite new army! Wang Hengyue cursed in his heart and asked why the bandits were so arrogant.
"These bandits have some backgrounds." Li Shenchun sighed: "This man's name is Lu Baoyin, and he has a biological brother named Lu Baogen..."
Lu Baogen? Wang Hengyue was greatly moved.
I just came to this era. In order to save Qin Guangcheng, didn't I have a fight with Lu Baogen? Is Li Shenchun talking about the same person?
Sure enough, Li Shenchun's subsequent words confirmed Wang Hengyue's thoughts: "This Lu Baogen is incredible. He is entrenched in Jinyan Lake in Guanghan. He is a famous bandit leader with a lot of weapons in his hands. He has been wiped out by Guanghan several times, but Lu Baogen was killed every time."
We were defeated, so the officers and soldiers did not dare to go. This Lu Baogen relied on his brother’s power and was also lawless!"
Wang Hengyue quickly began to make calculations in his mind. He might as well fight the bandits. His elder brother is a big thief, and his younger brother is probably not much worse. He must have a lot of good things hidden. But he doesn't have many people in his hands, and he doesn't have any weapons. Could it be?
Are you really going to fight bandits with those rags?
While he was talking, a man came in aggressively and shouted loudly as soon as he entered: "Lawless, lawless, that bastard Yu Ruixiang took the lead again and refused to pay!"
When I saw so many people there, I was startled for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Xiang Gong is here too, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Li Shenchun quickly introduced to Wang Hengyue that this was Li Qizhang of the Economic Investigation Bureau, also known as the "Three Fees Bureau", whom Deng Xia once mentioned. He used to be called the General Office, but now he is called the Director.
After meeting, Li Qizhang was still angry. Zhao Xixiao asked what was going on. Li Qizhang said angrily: "He is not the evil gentry Yu Ruixiang of Mo Lin! He regards a penny as big as the sky, and there are always rules for what should be paid.
He likes to be in arrears, so I went there again today, but he found all kinds of excuses to evade. Grandpa, Mr. Xiang, I can't do this anymore."
Li Shenchun also frowned. The failure to collect money was not only Li Qizhang's business, he also lost a large amount of income.
Wang Hengyue was a little strange: "Since he refuses to pay taxes, he will be fine if he gets his debut ticket. What kind of waves can a little country squire make?"
"Captain Wang doesn't know something." Li Shenchun shook his head repeatedly: "This man once accidentally saved Lu Baoyin's life in the past. Lu Baoyin was a bandit and he said that Yu Ruixiang's affairs are his business. Who dares to touch Yu?
Ruixiang, I just can't get along with him Lu Baoyin. I also took Yu Ruixiang once, but in the middle of the night, a dart was stuck at the gate. I am not afraid of death, but thinking about my wife and children at home, hey
..."
"Master, don't worry, Lu Baoyin will be wiped out sooner or later." Zhao Xi said: "We originally had no garrison in Rong County, so we let Lu Baoyin take over. Now that Captain Wang is here, when the new army is trained, we will
Why worry about a little helper?"
Li Shenchun and Li Qizhang claimed "yes", but their expressions were very disapproving. They had already seen the new army and wanted to rely on them to exterminate the bandits?
After chatting for a while, Wang Hengyue and others got up and said goodbye as if they had met each other.
When they got outside, Wang Hengyue asked about Yu Ruixiang again. Zhao Xi smiled and shook his head and said: "This Yu Ruixiang has also dealt with me several times. He is the most shrewd and mean man. He can earn a penny, which is definitely a lot."
People who earn nothing by doing things for his family will not only not get paid at the end of the year, but will also owe his family money. His reputation is extremely bad. But with Lu Baoyin backing him, no one dares to
say what."
"No one cares about him?" Wang Hengyue asked smoothly.
Zhao Xi let out a long sigh: "Who can take care of it now? When I went to Chengdu, I also told Du Xian, but what did Du Xian say? He said, 'Xiang Gong, there are too many facts here, not only the court but also the
The foreigners are also a revolutionary party. It’s true that they don’t give you Xiang Gong face, but they really have no time to take care of it.’ To put it bluntly, think about it, as a governor, he can’t even control a bandit.”
He said sternly: "To put it bluntly, the government can't control it, we can control it ourselves. The bandits are getting more and more rampant, and they have been trying to attack Rong County a few times. If it weren't for me here, the people from the Ge Laohui have told them not to move.
In Rong County, the bandits are worried. They are afraid that there will be a big disaster in Rong County. Once you become a new army, the first thing you will do is to defeat Lu Baoyin!"
Wang Hengyue nodded. He really wanted to level Lu Baoyin. He had done a good thing locally. But it is still too early to say this now.
The top priority now is how Yu Leina's affairs are going. Can he get his salary and weapons back?
Yu Ruixiang and Lu Baoyin. These two names are also deeply imprinted in Wang Hengyue’s heart!
