The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 60

September is approaching, and the weather is hotter every day.In the county government office, Lin Yifan was wearing a thin underwear, holding a feather fan in his hand and fanning it vigorously, while looking at the official document for instructions.

The commerce and trade that Wang Fugui was in charge of became more and more prosperous. The Hengshan Caravan has developed into a Hengshan Commercial Bank, expanding its bases to various counties in Weiyuan County, and began to seek layout in other counties.The interests of Polang Pass have been closely linked with Hengshan. In order to earn more money, the guard of Polang Pass, Zhang Yunyang, laid off many veterans and rented them to Wang Fugui as caravan guards.At present, Hengshan has a total of ten caravans, each caravan has 300 people, and veterans from Polang Pass account for about half of them.In the official document, Wang Fugui requested to establish at least five caravans in Shazhou for long-distance trade, and went to Tianyun, the Western Golden Wolf Khanate, and the countries of the Western Regions for commercial development.Strive to gain a foothold in other countries and expand the market.Lin Yifan agreed with this very much, so he indicated his consent in the instructions, and noted that he asked to collect the customs and customs of the countries in the Western Regions, and pay attention to local products and other things that are completely different from those in the Central Plains.

According to the official document sent by Luo Yi from Shazhou, he and Luo Feng have initially completed the reorganization of the horse thieves.They have also sent people to communicate with the rest of the gang of horse thieves. Except for some relatively weak horse thieves who agreed to cooperate, the rest of the horse thieves disagreed, and were even full of hostility.Therefore, Luo Yi asked Lin Yifan to send more troops to Shazhou again. He wanted to wait for the horse thieves to attack jointly, concentrate the elite troops to attack head-on, annihilate the invading enemies in one fell swoop, and completely establish the control of the Shazhou promenade.Lin Yifan nodded. Luo Yi's suggestion was very good. There are too few troops in Shazhou. If they take the initiative to attack, it is very likely to anger other horse thieves. They will adopt roaming and harassment tactics, which will make Luo Yi and his son exhausted and eventually dragged down.It's better to wait for the horse thief alliance that thinks it is powerful to come to your door, and then gather elite combat forces to fight to determine the world.So he wrote the word "ke" in the official document, and indicated that Zhang Qian would be appointed as the inspector of Beimanzhai and lead five hundred strong men and three hundred armored cavalry to Shazhou, and hand them over to Luo Yi as commander.

"My lord, there is a situation." Just as Lin Yifan was about to continue processing the official documents, Chen Dengke hurried in with a gloomy expression.

"What's wrong?" Lin Yifan raised his head and asked.

"I just received the news from the county seat that the imperial court's convicts from all over the country have arrived in our Hengshan city. There are at least a thousand of them, and they will arrive at our place in a few days." Chen Dengke handed the letter in his hand to Lin Yifan , said worriedly, "Most of these criminals are hooligans from all over the country. They have always refused to obey the rules. The students are very worried that their arrival will make our Hengshan morale worse and the law and order worse."

After Lin Yifan finished the letter, the corner of his mouth slightly raised, and he said indifferently: "Mr. Chen is worrying too much, isn't he just some criminals, can't we control them anymore? After they come, we will compile them all into the Prisoner-of-war camp, doing hard labor with prisoners of war. Originally, I thought there was too little free labor, but the imperial court was really in a hurry, so they sent us so many people right away, haha!"

Chen Dengke raised the amount with his hands, and said helplessly: "Master, how can this be done? These people who migrated to our place are the people who were punished by the imperial court to go to the border for reclamation, and cannot be counted as criminals or prisoners of war. As long as they come to us, they will become Become a good citizen and become a member of Hengshan. Unless they escape from Hengshan and become bandits."

"No way?" Lin Yifan's eyes widened, "That is to say, I have to treat them like Hengshan people?"

"Yes, this is the court's regulation." Chen Dengke replied with certainty.

Lin Yifan's face was cloudy and uncertain, he was extremely unwilling to accept these local ruffians.However, this was the court's decision, and he had to accept it.unless. . . "Mr. Chen, if these criminals become bandits, can we treat them as thieves and eliminate their identities?"

"Ah?" Chen Dengke was taken aback, then looked at Lin Yifan in disbelief, "My lord, are you going to frame them as thieves, and then..."

"What kind of accusation, can I do such a thing?" Lin Yifan gave Chen Dengke a dissatisfied look, "I mean, if a group of bandits suddenly appeared in our HS County and threatened the criminals to follow the bandits, then there is no way ,right?"

"Um, this, your lord is right, right." Chen Dengke gently wiped the sweat from his brow, and replied with difficulty.

On the mountain road from Polangguan to HS County, countless people with wooden shackles were driven forward by hundreds of guards.

The lead escort was a puffy middle-aged man. At this time, he was straightening his upper body, shaking the cattail fan vigorously in his hand, and looked at the criminals with a look of resentment, "Damn it, it's still so hot on such a hot day. To escort this group of scum for such a long distance, it is really bad luck for eight lifetimes."

A skinny young man next to him also straightened up, wiped his sweat and fanned the fat man, and said with a flattering smile: "Boss, we are going to Hengshan soon, you don't have to get angry with these scumbags, or I'll go over there Teach them a lesson and calm you down?"

"Forget it, we're going to arrive anyway, so bear with it." The fat man pointed at the prisoners, and ordered: "Go and tell the brothers, let those prisoners go faster, and we will try to enter the city within an hour. Invite the brothers to drink."

"Come on, little one, let's go and tell the brothers about this good thing."

At this moment, the ground suddenly shook slightly, and then, there was a muffled thunder.Just when everyone was stunned, black shadows appeared not far from the mountain road.But in the blink of an eye, I saw a masked cavalry rushing towards here aggressively, the blades held high were shining brightly under the sunlight, and there were strange screams of "huha, hohuh" from time to time.

The escorts quickly recognized each other's background, "It's a bandit, there are a lot of bandits, we are finished!"

The fat man's face changed drastically. Not only did the opponent have twice as many people as his own, but also his own people only had weapons like water and fire sticks, so they were not opponents at all.Once the bandits rush up, these so-called lackeys of the court will definitely be a thorn in the side of these bandits.It's better to run away now, there are thousands of prisoners in disorder blocking the road of bandits, and I have a good chance of escaping.Thinking of this, the fat man didn't care about other people, so he started to run back.When the other guards saw that their boss had run away first, they all turned their heads and ran along, where there was no fighting spirit.The criminals were also in chaos, and everyone was scrambling to escape, but with the wooden shackle around their necks, they couldn't run fast at all.After running not far, he was chased and surrounded by bandits.

Thousands of criminals were surrounded by more than 200 bandits, shaking with fright and wailing helplessly.Among this group of people, a black and thin old man stared at the cavalry with a look of surprise on his face, and said to himself, "No, these cavalry don't look like bandits, do they?"

Hearing this, a thin young man next to him couldn't help asking nervously: "Master, what are they if they aren't bandits?"

"Soldier!" The old man asserted, "I was conscripted into the military barracks as a military doctor more than ten years ago, and I still have some understanding of the army. These people are not like ordinary bandits who swarm up in a disorderly manner. Instead, they appear to be advancing and retreating." Well-founded, law-abiding actions, comparable to elite cavalry of the imperial court."

"No way? Since it's the army, why would they pretend to be bandits? What are they going to do?" The young apprentice was both scared and curious.

The old man bumped the apprentice lightly with the wooden shackle, and said solemnly: "Don't ask too many questions, and don't be reckless, just hide here and wait and see what happens."
