The Great Bandit in Kangxi Year

Chapter 31 Wei Xiancheng's Countermeasures and Vigil

At the same time, the county magistrate of Shangcheng County was anxious. He had just received an urgent report from the chief of the county that there were more than a thousand bandits within fifty miles of the county seat. It really hurt my brain, and I swore in my heart: "It's almost Chinese New Year, I must present some more gifts to my boss, and leave this damn county."

However, he had to pass the hurdle first, and the magistrate hurriedly ordered the yamen servant to call the county magistrate and Luo Qianzong.

In the blink of an eye, the time for tea was gone, and the two of them had arrived together.

"Mr. Luo Qian came just in time. I must have known about the thief's situation. I don't know what you think?" The county magistrate sat on the head seat and said with a smile, but did not stand up to greet him, and cursed in his heart: "You are just a vulgar martial artist. , it’s still a first-class old man.”

"Haha, I can do whatever the county magistrate says." Mr. Luo Qian sat on the side seat carelessly, said indifferently, and snorted in his heart: "The thieves are here, I thought of me, I saw you a few days ago. So, if you were my soldier, I would have punched you to death, old man."

"Hmph!" Wang Zhixian frowned, and said sharply: "In this case, please ask Luo Qian to organize the army and go out of the city early in the morning to meet the bandit army."

"Haha, it's so good, Mr. Ben Qian will leave now, but the magistrate must consider the consequences carefully?" Mr. Luo Qian patted the armrest of the grand master's chair, stood up and said loudly, before he finished speaking, he wanted to leave.

"Take it easy, my lords. The bandit army is powerful. If we lose the city and the court blames me, it will be a disaster." The county magistrate standing aside said earnestly, but complained in his heart: "What is this? It's time, and I'm still fighting, and I'm not afraid of being laughed at by thieves."

Hearing the words, President Luo sat down honestly, but with his legs crossed, he hummed a ditty, and hummed in his heart: "I've offended you, I'm going to be a bandit too."

Wang Zhixian froze for a moment, suppressed his anger, and thought to himself: "When the bandit army is retired, if I don't join you, I will report my old age and return to my hometown directly, and I will not be resigned from office."

"I don't know what opinion Wei Xiancheng has?" Wang Zhixian didn't bother to talk to Mr. Luo Qian, seeing that the county magistrate was not flustered, so he asked him for advice.

"My lord, I have an idea, I wonder if it's feasible?" Wei Xiancheng cleared his throat, bowed his body and said without changing his face.

"It's okay, just tell me." Wang Zhixian felt a lot easier. Since he became the magistrate of Shangcheng, Wei Xiancheng has helped him a lot, and he has worked hard without complaint. He is really a model among his subordinates.

"I see you, my lord. I hope you don't blame me." Wei County Cheng laughed, and then said: "I think that now we can only unite with Luo Family, Chen Family, and Hong Family's guards, and cooperate with Luo Qianzong's officers and troops. Defend the city, and let the young and strong from the ten miles around the county enter the city overnight, distribute weapons, as long as they guard the city, they will be able to explain to their superiors."

"In this way, the city is guarded, but the thieves are raging in the county, what should the county do?" Wang Zhixian interrupted, stroking his beard, obviously agreeing with the county magistrate's thoughts in his heart.

"The magistrate is a good opinion, but didn't you ask the magistrate for help?" Wei Xiancheng narrowed his eyes and flattered him.

"Well, it's so good. It's safe and not simple. Let's do it right away. We need to scout horses widely and grasp every move of bandits." Wang Zhixian applauded loudly, the depression in his heart disappeared, and he could finally sleep peacefully. But encountered a difficult problem again, should I go to the room of the third lady or the room of the fifth lady tonight?
"Don't worry, my lord, there will be no big trouble." Wei Xiancheng said confidently, and gave Mr. Luo Qian a glance. Mr. Luo then clasped his fists and opened his mouth, but made no sound.

"Okay, step back." Wang Zhixian waved his hand, now he is too lazy to care about Mr. Luo Qian's rudeness, thinking that he will deal with you in the future.

When Wei Xiancheng and Mr. Luo Qian left, Wei Xiancheng said helplessly: "My nephew, why bother to get angry, you should pay more attention to the interests of the Luo family. It is extremely difficult for Brother Luo to maintain such a large property. Why should my nephew make trouble?"

"Uncle, it's not that my nephew made a mistake, it's just that Wang Zhixian is too rude, the old man doesn't care whose land it is on, hum." Mr. Luo Qian was annoyed at that time.

"President Qian, please go ahead, I have important matters to attend, so I won't accompany you any longer." Wei Xiancheng shook his head, walked away, and sighed in his heart: "I really can't help you, I really worry about it. Brother Luo is shrewd and will take care of everything."

Wei Xiancheng finished all the things, and when he returned to the mansion, it was already dark, but he was lying on the bed and couldn't sleep. The cries of women and children just now moved people to tears, and the sound shook the city wall. Also entering the city, one is to be firm in the heart of defending the city, and the other is to implement a strong and clean wall against the bandits, but the city is so big, how can it accommodate it, alas, it has been 30 years, how come there are so many bandits?
He stroked his braids, and said with a smirk, "It's the county official's turn to take care of the affairs of the court, so it's better to keep to yourself."

........................ ..
Jiang Tao, who was in the wild, was depressed. Now there are more than a thousand people under his command, old and young. Only then did he realize that he didn't bring a marching tent. Rubbing his frozen face, he realized that he had been negligent, and shouted in his heart: "Oh my god, the local bandits haven't washed their faces for two days. Damn it."

He didn't see Jiang Dazhuang waiting to come back, he thought to himself: "Don't wait, I blame my wife's benevolence, I'd better find a village to rest for a night."

He immediately gathered the leaders of Niu Mang, Jiang Wushang, Xueyan, etc., and gave an order: "It's so cold today, you can't sleep in the open. Niu Dangjia and Jiang Wushangqi will always take their men along the official road until they meet As far as the village is concerned, try not to have any disputes with the villagers, Jiang Wudao will lead his subordinates to kill the queen, and the rest of the brothers will take care of the old and the young, so that no one will be left behind."

"Yes!" Everyone answered loudly.

After traveling for more than ten miles, they found a small village beside the road. The whole village was deserted and chaotic as if it had been looted by bandits. Jiang Tao was stunned and asked, "Which village is this?"

"Tumen Village, brother, it was like this when we came here." Niu Mang scratched his head and explained beside him.

"It seems that the county magistrate must have known that we are here. It is a pity that soldiers are expensive and fast." Jiang Tao sighed, and then shouted: "All the brothers went to the room and slept with their clothes on. The head of the family led dozens of people under his command to watch the midnight."

"Young master, I'm still keeping watch at night, this little injury doesn't matter." Wang Dashan stood up and said with some stubbornness.

"What I said is the military order, so just do it, hehe, there are important things to do tomorrow morning, so go to sleep." Jiang Tao said loudly, and after finishing speaking, he led his men to arrange defense.

Everyone was puzzled, why should the cold young master of the family suffer this crime?Xueyan, who had been watching coldly, smirked in her heart, twisted her body and left, setting an example, it still seems like that, but the main body of this cottage is bandits, can it be a big deal?
There will be a general recommendation next week. Brothers, give me a little bit of effort to see if I can make it to the newcomer list. The butcher is very grateful.
