The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 159

When Xu Shifan rushed to the county town, the Hengshan Army had already stationed in the city to maintain order.The entire county was peaceful and peaceful. If it wasn't for the large amount of blood left on the city wall and the broken arrows and broken spears everywhere that had not been cleaned up, he would have thought that the county had never experienced war.

The shock in Xu Shifan's heart cannot be expressed in words. In less than a day, the Hengshan Army defeated the rebel army? How is this possible? You know, the rebel army broke through the city and focused on attacking for defense. How could it be possible for a mere [-] Hengshan cavalry To siege the city and win a battle?

At this time, the scouts sent to inquire about the news had rushed over and whispered something to Xu Shifan.After listening, Xu Shifan was consciously furious, couldn't help gnashing his teeth, and growled word by word: "What did you say?"

At this time, Xu Shifan was going crazy. Thanks to his admiration for the Hengshan Army before, he actually defeated the rebels with less and more in one fell swoop.Unexpectedly, the two of them colluded with each other, not only allowing the rebels to plunder the city, but also giving away [-] war horses.It's really treason and wolf ambition.Now he can't wait to wipe out the Hengshan army immediately with his troops, and kill this rebellious thief in the bud.

"Haha! Master Xu came so fast." A bold laugh came from a distance, and a blue figure walked towards him.

Xu Shifan was shocked, looked at the person coming, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and finally turned into a look of humility, and said with a smile: "Where, where. Mr. Lin has praised the prize. Here, Xu respectfully wishes you a victory, In one fell swoop, he took down the county and saved the people of the whole city. With such a great achievement, when the time comes, the imperial court will reward you according to your merits, and your lord and everyone will be able to be promoted and honored, and you will be rewarded countless times. Congratulations, lord."

"Then I will borrow a good word from Mr. Xu. Haha!" Lin Yifan looked very complacent.

"Hehe, Mr. Xu has something, and I want to ask your lord for advice. I don't know if it should be said or not." Xu Shifan looked at him cautiously, and said respectfully.

Lin Yifan glanced at him with a half-smile, "Oh, what's the matter, Mr. Xu? But it's okay to say."

"I don't know how my lord defeated the rebel army? My subordinates are very curious about this, and I just want to admire the fighting style of the Hengshan Army. I wonder if my lord can tell me a thing or two?" Xu Shifan smiled, holding back the anger in his heart.

"Oh, this." The corner of Lin Yifan's mouth raised slightly, "Then I will disappoint Master Xu. In this battle, our army did not fight the rebels."

Sure enough, he was so daring to say it outright without concealing it, shameless!Xu Shifan cursed secretly, but there was a look of surprise on his face, and he asked in puzzlement: "Here, my lord, what's going on?"

"Our army negotiated with the rebels. They handed over the city and withdrew from Weiyuan County. Our army allowed them to search for some supplies and take them away, and give away [-] horses." Lin Yifan said it very directly, which drove Xu Shifan crazy fact.

Xu Shifan raised his head, gathered his courage, and looked at Lin Yifan with a look of shock, "What? Lin, Master Lin, you, do you know what you are doing? You are collaborating with the enemy, and you are supporting the enemy. How can you Do that?"

Lin Yifan gave him a blank look, this guy, his acting skills are too bad, his face is exaggerated, a fool would believe that you don't know the truth. "Master Xu, what are you talking about? Is it not good for me to do this? Without losing any troops, you can take back the county and save the people in the city. Mere wealth and war horses are nothing."

"This, this is not the same thing." Xu Shifan was so angry that his heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys couldn't help shaking, but he wanted to refute but couldn't find a reason to refute, so he couldn't help roaring in frustration.

"Oh, it's not the same thing?" Lin Yifan narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at him with a gloomy face, and said coldly, "Master Xu thinks that we are doing something wrong?"

Xu Shifan looked at Lin Yifan in horror, secretly regretted his impulsiveness, and hurriedly waved his hands and said, "No, no, sir, uh, that's not what Xu meant."

"What does that mean?" Lin Yifan was unreasonable, with chills in his eyes, pressing on every step of the way.

"Here, I..." Xu Shifan was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, his mind was confused, and he couldn't speak.

"Okay, Mr. Xu don't need to be afraid, I was joking just now. Haha!" Lin Yifan suddenly changed his style of painting, and smiled like a spring breeze. "Master Xu won't mind?"

"I don't mind, I don't mind." Xu Shifan almost cried out of fear from Lin Yifan.

"That's good." Lin Yifan glanced at him, and laughed in his heart, this Xu Shifan is really easy to handle.Then the next thing, presumably he should be able to accept it, right?So he said sternly, "Master Xu, now the county has been captured by us, our army's rescue mission has been completed, and the county will be handed over to you."

Xu Shifan was overjoyed when he heard the words, and finally got down to business, and they were finally going to leave. "Thank you Lord Lin for your determination and help, so that the county can be regained. On behalf of the people in the city, Xu thank you for your rescue. Now the city is not safe, and there are still a lot of affairs that need to be dealt with. Master Lin walks slowly, Xu will not sent."

"Wait a minute!" Lin Yifan looked at him coldly with a dark face, "Master Xu, I haven't finished my official sentence yet. This time our army paid the price of [-] horses to persuade the rebels to retreat." To save the lives of the people in the city. Don't tell me, Mr. Xu, you don't want to express your gratitude?"

"Ah? Thank you?" Xu Shifan's eyes widened.

"That's right, is it possible that our army sent three thousand horses for nothing, and then just went back like this?" Lin Yifan looked at him with a gloomy face, "These horses were snatched by our Hengshan Army from the Golden Wolf. They are all stained with the blood of Hengshan soldiers. If you don't get an equal amount of compensation, how will I explain to everyone in Hengshan?"

"You!" Xu Shifan almost cursed, these war horses were sent out on your own initiative, don't mind me.But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them vigorously. At this time, he must not provoke this group of scoundrels and evil stars again.He took a deep breath and finally resisted the urge.The most important thing now is to get them out and hand over the county city, and the rest will be discussed later.So he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, tell me, Mr. Lin, how much thanks do you need from me?"

"Well, my 200 horses are all strong and strong prairie horses. According to domestic standards, each horse is at least 250 taels. But as I said before, these horses were all exchanged for my life in Hengshan , the price can’t be lower than this standard price. For Mr. Xu’s sake, it’s cheaper, let’s count 75 taels for you. Three thousand war horses, it’s about 70 taels of silver. For a discount, give me [-] taels That's it."

"Seven, 70 taels?" Xu Shifan suddenly felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, almost out of breath.With a mournful face, he said, "Master Lin, even if you sell me, it's not worth that much money, 70 taels, Xu can't afford it!"

"Then what should we do?" Lin Yifan stared, "If we don't pay, how can we leave? Mr. Xu, our time is very precious, you are wasting our time."

"This..." Xu Shifan was sweating profusely, unable to speak.

"Ah!" Lin Yifan looked at him sympathetically, sighed softly, patted him on the shoulder, and comforted him, "Master Xu, please be calm, it's not impossible, it's just that you may not be able to accept it."

"Yes, what's the way?" Xu Shifan had no other way, and when he heard that there were other ways, he immediately asked subconsciously.

"There are two ways. First, Master Xu, you can go and search the city. I only give the rebels two hours to plunder. Surely they won't be able to plunder all the property in the city, right? Master Xu may return it." To be able to collect 70 taels of silver is just to hurt the hearts of the people. I'm afraid you dare not do it, Mr. Xu. The second thing is that the county will be garrisoned by our army to collect taxes. We only need to collect enough 70 taels The tax of [-] taels will completely return the county to you, Mr. Xu. Of these two methods, which one should Mr. Xu choose?" Lin Yifan smiled slightly, his eyes shining with a different kind of brilliance.

"Lord Lin, Xu is just a small captain, how can he be the master?" Xu Shifan said in a trembling tone, dripping with cold sweat, "This matter requires the approval of the county guard, and it is up to the court to decide. Someone absolutely dare not do such a presumptuous thing."

"The sheriff? Oh, as far as I know, the sheriff was killed by the rebels after the city was destroyed, and now the highest-ranking official in the county is Mr. Xu." Lin Yifan chuckled, "Master Xu will turn the tide. Repelling the rebels and regaining the county is a great achievement. The imperial court should show you that you are the governor of Weiyuan County, so that you can be rewarded. I, Hengshan, would like to help Mr. Xu to serve as the governor. I wonder if Mr. Xu is willing? "

"You, you." Xu Shifan looked at Lin Yifan in horror.

"Hehe, isn't Master Xu willing? If so, then the county will be lost." Lin Yifan looked at him coldly, "We don't mind tearing our skins apart with the court."
