Chapter 30 Xue Jing's Action

Master Meng frowned, and was about to go forward to inquire. Before he had walked a few steps, he saw two county soldiers pointing their spears at him.

"My lord has an order. No one is allowed to leave the city or enter the city today. Anyone who violates the law will be executed on the spot!"

Master Meng gasped, realizing that something serious might happen, he turned around and got into the car and ordered the driver to turn around without any delay.

"Master, where are we going?" the driver asked, still outside.

Master Meng held his breath and thought for a while, "County government office!"

The coachman got the order, and there was another resounding "Deer drive~".The carriage galloped towards the county government again.

In the carriage, Mrs. Meng was taken aback, and nervously grabbed Master Meng's sleeve: "What's going on?"

"The army is assembled at the gate of the city, I'm afraid they are going to drive out the bandits."

Mrs. Meng turned pale, "What about harmony!"

Master Meng only felt a headache, and stretched out his chubby hand to rub the center of his brows, "I'll talk to Mr. Xue first."

In the current county government office, Wu Yaya was full of a large group of people, all of whom were small officials of the county government office.

Xue Jing was dressed in authentic official uniform, and also put on the black gauze that he didn't wear at all on weekdays, and looked at everyone with a serious expression.

"As you all know, the bandits who have been roaming around Yongcheng all the year round have recently fled to the border of Baibei Mountain outside Qiongzhou County. Since the bandits have come here, evil things have happened from time to time. One civilian is robbed in three days, and one in five days. Cases of civilians being killed. It’s hard to describe all the evil deeds of bandits!”

Everyone in the county government office was very angry, and a man who looked like a martial artist was filled with righteous indignation: "The gangsters have committed many crimes! There is no place for punishment!"

"Lieutenant Yang is right!" Xue Jing yelled suddenly, and waved his hand boldly, "I wish I could get rid of such a villain who endangers the people with my own hands! It's just that I'm a scholar, and I'm weak..."

"Master Xue, don't worry, we are willing to do our best for the peace of the people!" Everyone shouted.

With tears in his eyes, Xue Jing bowed deeply to the crowd and said, "Then today, I will rely on the sages of the village to lead our county soldiers to Baibei Mountain, and work together to expel the bandits, so as to avoid future troubles forever!"

The crowd raised their spirits high, "Expel the bandits, and we will never have future troubles!"

Seeing the enthusiasm of the crowd, the master came out from the back hall and whispered: "My lord, Master Meng is here and wants to see you."

Xue Jing's face remained unchanged, and he whispered: "Let him wait."

After the momentary excitement, everyone suddenly reacted, County Captain Yang set an example, stepped forward and asked: "Master Xue, I don't know where the bandits are, what should we do?"

"You don't have to worry," Xue Jing spread out a map as if he had expected it, on which the appearance of Baibei Mountain was drawn.

"I have inquired in advance, the bandits are in the nest behind Baibei Mountain."

"The back of Baibei Mountain?" A middle-aged man asked.

"good."

The middle-aged man looked embarrassed, and a few others hesitated after realizing it.

Seeing this, Xue Jing asked, "How is it? What are the difficulties for you?"

The middle-aged man said: "Magistrate Xue is not a local, so naturally he doesn't know the rumors about Baibei Mountain. It is said that there are fierce beasts on the back of Baibei Mountain. People died inexplicably, and even the bones could not be found."

"That's it..." Xue Jing was surprised and hesitant, but slowly tears came to his eyes, "Could it be that the people of my Baishui County will only be in danger day and night from now on... "

The middle-aged man thought for a while, but said firmly: "The county magistrate doesn't have to worry, I'd like to go and have a try!"

Several other people also said: "We also want to go!"

"Okay." Xue Jing's eyes filled with tears, his thin face was full of gratitude to everyone.

Lieutenant Yang also wiped his eyes with his hands, walked to the side of the map, and said, "Master Xue, please continue to discuss."

Xue Jing adjusted his mood, walked over, pointed to the map and said, "Go up this road, if you do this..."

"Does your lord know the number of bandits?"

Xue Jing's eyes darkened slightly, "There are about a hundred people."

Lieutenant Yang was instantly happy, and said loudly: "There are only a few hundred bandits, but our county soldiers are nearly a thousand, and we will surely capture them all!"

After the discussion was over, everyone was ready to leave, Xue Jing suddenly called them back, slowly took off the black gauze, and bowed heavily to everyone.

"Xue Jing relies on all of you and looks forward to your triumphant return!"

back hall.Master Meng and his wife had been sitting here for a long time, and how many times had the tea been refilled before they saw Xue Jing's figure coming out from there.

Master Meng hurried forward and asked anxiously, "Lord Xue, what's the situation at the gate of the city?!"

Xue Jing looked confident, put his hand on Master Meng's shoulder, and patted lightly: "Don't panic, I've made arrangements to go to Baibei Mountain to drive out the bandits today."

"Lord Xue! There are many bandit exorcisers, if you accidentally hurt my little girl... please forgive me and let me go out to pick up my little girl..."

"Master Meng," Xue Jing interrupted in a cold voice, and then showed a very sincere smile, "I received the news that my people have found Miss Meng. She is fine now and there is nothing serious. Just wait for Bai Beishan The bandits are expelled, and Miss Meng will naturally come back."

Master Meng was still a little worried. Seeing Xue Jing's swearing, he didn't dare to say anything more, so it should be.

"Then invite Master Meng and Your Madam to wait for Miss Meng's return at the county government office." Xue Jing ordered someone to come again, "Take the two distinguished guests down to rest."

Master Meng still hesitantly followed the boy out of the hall, Mrs. Meng didn't speak just now, and then she whispered: "Master, is He Yin really okay?"

Master Meng shook his head, "I don't know either."

Madam Meng covered her heart and said with some discomfort: "I don't know why, but I always feel a little uneasy in my heart."

At this time, the two of them had already been taken to the guest room, and the servant was about to close the door and go out.

Master Meng heard that Mrs. Meng was flustered, and instantly regretted going out.But at that moment, the door of the guest room was slammed shut.

The Meng couple realized something was wrong and knocked hard on the door.

The boy outside said: "Master Meng, I'm sorry. My family said that Mr. Meng's mood is not stable, and he was worried that you would go out of the city to cause inconvenience, so he made such a bad plan. Please forgive me, Mr. Meng."

In the back hall, Xue Jing was sipping a cup of tea in his hand, looking very calm, but the tea in the cup trembled slightly, revealing the fact that he was not as calm as he appeared on the surface.

The master walked in, bowed his waist and said: "My lord, everything has been arranged, and I will never come out."

"Yes." Xue Jing nodded, "Then give orders. No matter what the situation of the bandits is, they must be rescued."

Master nodded yes.

Not long after, a young servant suddenly came to the gate of the city, and walked straight to a young guard. It was the handsome guard that Meng Heyin couldn't take his eyes off that day, named Ning Zai.

The boy said something to Ning Zai, Ning Zai's expression gradually became serious, and then he suddenly became enlightened, and he nodded firmly.

When it was near Sishi, when people were preparing to cook, the gates of the city were opened wide, and more than a thousand people left the city in a mighty manner.
