Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

Chapter 113 The Caught Jimaru Man

"I'm not asking you to go up the mountain, I'm asking you to take care of someone."

Ma Laifu looked at Meng Changqing in confusion, and the next moment he suddenly understood, "Your Excellency wants me to deal with Ma Lishan."

"If you can think of it, it means you are capable of doing this." Meng Changqing said, "Ma Lishan has made trouble with me not once or twice, and I have warned him not once or twice, but this People really don't have long memories.

You need to teach him an impressive lesson. "

"I...I don't know what to do."

"You should know." Meng Changqing said, "The autumn harvest will be here soon. Although the twenty-fifth group is lazy, there will still be a lot of food in the autumn harvest. If the people in their group do not share it with him and specifically target him, he will What will he do if he loses his temper?"

"He can steal."

"What if he can't steal it?"

Malaifu said, "With so many families in Beishan County, he can always find an opportunity to attack with his methods."

"Indeed." Meng Changqing said, "It would be bad if he can't steal it, so you should make a move and let him steal it."

"This……"

"Let him steal it, then catch him, and finally give him a chance to escape. Where will he go?"

"If he brings people from the mountain here..."

"That would be the best." Meng Changqing said, "What I am waiting for is for him to take people down the mountain."

Without the barrier of dangerous mountains, we are like a snail leaving its shell.

"The autumn harvest will be in two days, and we will wait until the second half of the autumn harvest to start again." Meng Changqing asked Ma Laifu to go back and prepare it carefully.

In this way, Ma Laifu went back with a lot of worries. On the way back, he thought about it. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that being trusted by the county master was not a good thing.

"You're still a child after all." Malaifu sighed, "Why does this job have to fall on me?"

In late August, Beishan County became busy, and everyone was busy harvesting grain from the fields.

Meng Changqing took Yang Zheng to measure the specific yield in the fields, and by the beginning of September, they had calculated how much grain each household had to hand over to the government.

During this period, Meng Changqing either ran into the fields every day, or was asked by Yu Tai's people to go to the city wall to see the new holes dug by Jiewan barbarians.

On September 8th, she was called by Yu Tai again, but this time he did not rush to take her out of the city, but took her to a simple tent.

"Jetsumaru Savage?"

There was a Jiewan man in the camp who was tightly tied up. He had a disheveled appearance and was only covered with an animal skin around his waist.

"Exactly, the people who came with him were all stoned to death. This man was also injured so he didn't escape in time and was caught by our soldiers."

Meng Changqing asked Yu Tai, "What's the point of catching him? Why not just kill him."

"Mr. Meng was too violent. I heard from the soldiers that he was among the savages at the time. When the rocks fell, two savages rushed over to protect him. Therefore, the soldiers judged that this man may have a higher status."

"Can he understand us?" Meng Changqing asked.

Yu Tai shook his head, "I don't understand. We don't have anyone here who understands Jiewan, so I asked people to go to Weishanguan to look for him."

Meng Changqing looked at the Jiewan Savage from a distance, and when he saw his face, he found that although the man's eyes were blocked by his hair, the eyes under his hair were staring straight at him.

"Are you sure he can't understand us?"

"Mr. Meng is too worried. We, Daliang, have never had any contact with the Jiewan barbarians. How can he understand us?"

"Let people keep an eye on him. Let's go out and talk." Meng Changqing took the lead to leave the camp and stopped after walking a certain distance. "You must keep an eye on people in the camp. If he escapes, it is not a joke. I don't know if there are any How many people are going to suffer, and we don’t know how much trouble we are going to cause.” “Mr. Meng, don’t worry, this camp has never been guarded.”

"It's best to have someone go in and keep an eye on him at all times." Meng Changqing said, "Don't be afraid of 10,000, just be afraid of the worst. When dealing with Jiewan Savage, it's natural to be as safe as possible."

"What you said makes sense." Yu Tai immediately called two soldiers and asked them to enter the tent and stare at the savage.

"I have always felt that such a person cannot and does not need to be retained." Meng Changqing said, "The guard does not need to emphasize that I am violent. I just feel that the risk of retaining him is too great, far outweighing the benefits he may bring to us."

"Okay, when the people from Weishan Pass come over, if I really can't find out anything, I'll kill him immediately."

After waiting for two days, when someone from Weishan Pass who knew Jiewan came over, Yu Tai called Meng Changqing over.

When the group of people arrived at the camp, the Jiemaru Savage was bound even more tightly than before.

"What? Has he run away yet?"

"Thanks for listening to your words, this Jiemaru wild man does have some skills. Our guard just made a mistake and he untied a hemp rope."

Meng Changqing said to the man from Weishan Pass: "Start asking."

"Yes." The man from Weishan Pass took a few steps forward and said something to the Jiewan Savage underground. Meng Changqing and others couldn't understand it at all.

But when the man finished his wow, Jiemaru Savage was still lying on the ground without any reaction.

"What's going on?" Yu Tai asked, "Does he understand what you said?"

The man explained to Yu Tai, "Jiewan is also divided into tribes, and each tribe uses a different language. Maybe this man's tribe is far away from Weishan Pass, and he can't understand what I say."

Meng Changqing asked him, "What did you mean by talking to the savage just now?"

"Back to my lord, I just asked him what his name was and whether he lived far from here."

Meng Changqing noticed that as soon as she spoke, the savage's eyes immediately swept towards her.

"Something's wrong." Meng Changqing stepped forward and said to the savage, "You understand Daliang dialect, right?"

The savage just looked at her without replying.

"Is it possible that this savage is mute?" The man from Weishanguan made a guess.

"It's not impossible." Meng Changqing said, "Since I can't find out anything, I might as well kill him."

Yu Tai felt pity from the bottom of his heart, but he really couldn't ask anything, so he could only listen to Meng Changqing.

He called a strong man from outside to come in, "Kill him."

Seeing that the knife was about to fall, the man lying on the ground finally made a sound after struggling, "...wait"

"Stop!" Yu Tai immediately stepped forward to hold his men, then turned back to Meng Changqing and others for confirmation, "Did he speak just now?"

The man at Weishan Pass said: "It seems like you said wait?"

"You can speak Daliang dialect." Yu Tai asked someone to lift the savage up from the ground, "Then why didn't you respond at all when I asked you before? It seems that you are very tight-lipped, and you won't even speak at all unless the knife is placed on your neck. Willing to open."

"Now is not the time to say this." The man from Weishan County stepped forward and asked, "Which tribe are you from, and what is the purpose of coming to my Daliang?"

Jiemaru Savage stopped talking again.

Meng Changqing pretended to urge, "Kill him quickly, what's the use of being able to speak Daliang dialect, and he can't ask anything." (End of Chapter)
