The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 8
After discussing for a while, everyone decided to send people to contact the surrounding trustworthy villages to jointly suppress the bandits.Lin Yifan continued to study with everyone in the cottage how to eliminate the Bailong bandits.

After a while, I heard a shout at the foot of the mountain, and knew that the waiting person had arrived.Sure enough, after a while, I saw seven or eight strong men walking towards the house together. I saw that most of them had big arms, round waists, long beards, and fierce aura while walking like tigers and howling like wolves.Instead, there was a skinny middle-aged man in a blue shirt, staring at the man who was squeezing him with contempt on his face.

"Old Xue, what the hell are you calling us to do here? If you dare to amuse us, we won't agree!" The leader shouted dissatisfiedly while walking.

Seeing the displeased expressions on everyone's faces, the corners of Xue Cheng's mouth slightly raised, and he also shouted loudly: "Li Huzi, can I, Xue Cheng, still play tricks on you? We are all brothers in Hengshan who help each other. If it wasn't for something big, how could I?" Did you call you over in a hurry?"

Everyone turned pale when they heard the words, and when they heard that there was a big event, they couldn't help showing puzzled expressions. The loud Li Huzi slapped his belly carelessly, and said with a smile: "What big event can you have, Xue Manzi? Are you going to attack Bailong Mountain? ?Ha ha!"

Xue Cheng was startled when he heard the words, and seeing Li Huzi's disbelief, he couldn't help being amused, and said with a smile, "You guessed it, yes, it's time to attack Bailong Mountain."

"Haha!" The crowd couldn't stop laughing. The middle-aged man in the green shirt laughed a few times, and said in a strange way: "Xue Manzi really likes to joke, attacking Bailong Mountain? This is the most ridiculous joke I have ever heard gone."

Li Huzi held back his smile, and jokingly said: "Old Xue is like this. He likes to brag the most. Okay, okay, the joke is over, we can get down to business."

Xue Cheng looked at Li Huzi seriously, "I'm not joking, the purpose of calling you here is to attack Bailong Mountain."

"You?" Li Huzi was about to sarcasm, but seeing Xue Cheng's serious face, he couldn't help but startled, frowned, and shouted: "Old Xue, you are crazy, why did you have this idea in your head? Bailong Mountain is where we can Did you provoke me, you don’t want to live anymore?”

Xue Cheng glanced at the expressions on everyone's mind that he was crazy, spread his hands helplessly, and said, "Don't be in a hurry, everyone, now I will introduce a distinguished guest to you." As he spoke, he looked at Lin Yifan, which also attracted his attention. Everyone fixed their eyes on the unremarkable young man who had been at the end.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Lin Yifan couldn't help touching his nose in embarrassment, and then cupped his hands in greeting.

Li Huzi stared at Lin Yifan with a look of disdain, pointed at him and looked at Xue Cheng, "Old Xue, who is this kid who can still be treated as a distinguished guest by you?"

Xue Cheng respectfully nodded to Lin Yifan, looked at the crowd, and said in a deep voice, "This is the new magistrate Lin of Hengshan County, and he is also the initiator of the attack on Bailong Mountain."

"Hiss!" Everyone gasped and looked at Lin Yifan incredulously. Li Huzi looked at Xue Cheng blankly, and stammered, "Old Xue, you, are you kidding me?"

Xue Cheng said very seriously: "I'm not joking, Mr. Lin is indeed the county magistrate of Hengshan."

"But, but him," Li Huzi sized up Lin Yifan's dirty and exotic clothes, and felt somewhat unacceptable. Shouldn't the county magistrate be an angry horse in fresh clothes, beating the gong to clear the way, with a dignified look on his face?How can it be a young man in a mess?

Lin Yifan was used to the initial doubts, so he took out his badge and threw it at Li Huzi, "I am indeed the new magistrate of Hengshan County, and my name is Lin Yifan."

Li Huzi couldn't read, so he flipped through his waist card, and pulled over the middle-aged man in the green shirt next to him, "Chen Xiucai, show everyone, what's written on it?"

Chen Xiucai took the sign a little nervously, looked carefully, and his face suddenly turned pale, "This, it's true, student, uh, Caomin pays respect to your lord." Then he knelt down.

Everyone turned pale for a while, standing there at a loss, kneeling, I am a criminal in the court, a thief who is outside the court, and is opposed to the government, don't kneel, I am afraid of officials deep in my heart Ruhu's thoughts flare up from time to time. After all, they are not thieves in the true sense, but just a group of ordinary people struggling to survive.

And at this time, Xue Cheng, Luo Yi and others also knelt down and bowed down. Seeing that everyone was kneeling, those good guys couldn't stand still anymore, so they had to kneel down.Lin Yifan didn't dare to make them kneel for a long time, so he quickly went up to help Chen Xiucai who knelt down first, and said with a smile: "What are you doing, get up quickly, now that the enemy is facing us, we are all comrades in the trenches, brothers , these hypocrisy will be avoided!"

Only then did everyone stand up, looking at Lin Yifan with softer eyes, they had never seen an official who could call Muddy Legs a brother.That Chen Xiucai couldn't restrain his excitement, bowed again and again: "Don't dare, don't dare, etiquette cannot be discarded."

After everyone was seated, Xue Cheng began to introduce everyone to Lin Yifan. Li Huzi was the head of the Li family village, with nearly a hundred strong men under his command. Chen Xiucai's name was Chen Dengke. He used to be a scholar. After gaining fame and living here, I didn't want to gather a group of people and build a cottage.After introducing the others, he stated the discussion between them to everyone, and everyone's expressions changed.

That Li Huzi hammered the table, and shouted excitedly: "Okay, I have long seen that group of scumbags in Bailongshan are upset, so I should get rid of them as soon as possible, so as not to cause harm to others."

Chen Xiucai frowned, and said in a low voice: "My lord, there are many bandits in Bailong Mountain. I heard that there are five or six hundred bandits. All the strong men in our villages add up to only four or five hundred. How can they be so powerful?" opponent?"

"Yes, yes. My lord, this matter is related to the life and death of our village, and it needs to be discussed in the long run." The rest of the people all echoed the words.

Lin Yifan frowned slightly, coughed, and said solemnly: "Everyone is right, indeed, our current strength is no match for bandits, but fighting is not just about brute force and bravery, we can also use tactics to defeat the enemy, although We are relatively weak, but we may not necessarily lose."

"This Bailong mountain is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack. There is no other way but to attack head-on. If this is the case, we will surely suffer heavy casualties. How can we explain this to the people in the village?" One of them smiled wryly.Everyone felt sympathy when they heard the words.

The scene suddenly turned cold, and everyone didn't know what to say for a moment. If there was a huge price to pay, no one would agree anyway.Xue Cheng and Luo Yi looked at each other, eyes full of helplessness and disappointment.

Lin Yifan gritted his teeth, his head kept running, he thought over all the tactics and tactics he had seen before, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, and he thought of a way, "I have a way, but I don't know if it will work?"

When Lin Yifan mentioned this method, Luo Yi, who was once a lieutenant general, couldn't help applauding. When everyone was at a loss, he explained the profound things in a simple way, and perfected the whole plan by drawing inferences from one instance. Even a fool like Li Huzi was eager to try it. , can't wait to act now.Lin Yifan was taken aback by this. He just proposed a method, and Luo Yi could repair it impeccably. concerns disappeared.

Finally, after Luo Yi explained the plan, he bowed to Lin Yifan and said, "Your Excellency is indeed wise, this plan is really ingenious, and my subordinates admire it!"

Lin Yifan rubbed his nose in embarrassment, and was about to be humble, when everyone shouted, "My lord is wise, I admire you so much!" He waved his hands and smiled, "Okay, since this plan is feasible, let's start Let's make arrangements."

Next, everyone discussed and arranged the plan properly.Lin Yifan even promised in front of everyone that he would let all the mountain dwellers get out of the mountains and stop being criminals.And hired Chen Dengke to be his master of staff, Li Huzi and others as the chief executive.Immediately, everyone was ecstatic and convinced Lin Yifan even more.

After all the details were agreed upon, everyone went back to prepare for the war.
