A knife in love

Chapter 1491

At this time, although Li Zhisheng was relieved, Master Pan's heart was raised in his throat, for fear that Xiao Dong would go back to the city by himself to summon the tolerance police to fight to the death with the Fusang people.Therefore, when Xiao Dong glanced past his face, Master Pan felt his knees go limp, and he almost fell to his knees.Fortunately, Xiao Dong just glanced at him, his gaze didn't rest on his face at all, Master Pan let out a sigh of relief, his back felt cold, and he broke out in a cold sweat from fright.

I only heard Xiao Dong say: "Master Jiang, I can only trouble you to go away once."

Master Jiang seemed to have guessed that Xiao Dong would ask him to go to the county magistrate's office, so he didn't panic after listening to Xiao Dong's words.I saw him clasping his hands to Xiao Dong and saying: "Since Master Xiao ordered, the villain will obey. However, the villain dare not guarantee whether the matter will be done."

Xiao Dongdao: "Master Jiang is Lord Li's most powerful subordinate, and he is respected by the police officers in the yamen. If Master Jiang speaks out, everyone in the yamen will believe it. As long as the police officers can be brought to Wangjiazhuang , you Master Jiang is a great achievement. When the time comes, we will reward according to merit, and the court will reward Master Jiang with the post of county magistrate, but it will not be difficult."

Hearing Xiao Dong's words, everyone looked at Mr. Jiang together, thinking, although Mr. Jiang is a figure in Dongliao County, he is not a Jinshi, but just a junior magistrate.If the imperial court breaks the rules and promotes him, it will be a great thing for him to reward him with a seventh-rank county magistrate.Therefore, there is envy in everyone's eyes.Only Master Pan stared at Master Jiang, but there was a hint of malice in his eyes.

I only heard Mr. Jiang say: "Thank you, Mr. Xiao, for your promotion. The villain is just following orders. If you are lucky enough to get things done, it is also thanks to the blessings of Mr. Xiao and Mr. Li. The villain was not born as a Jinshi, so I dare not expect to be a county magistrate." Seat, this trip can save a life, thank God."

Xiao Dong nodded, and said in his mouth: "It's not too late, Master Jiang should go to the yamen as soon as possible."

After Master Jiang left, Xiao Dong ordered Steward Wang to use the opportunity of transporting food and bedding to Motianling to find a way to bring all the Zhuang Ding and male men from Wangjiazhuang back to Wangjiazhuang.Butler Wang looked distressed, and said: "My lord, although the villain knows that Mr. Li and Mr. Pan on the mountain are fake, those Zhuang Ding don't know. Even if the villain wants them to come back, if it's fake, Mr. Li won't allow it." Let's leave, no one dares to go down the mountain with the villain. At that time, not only will we not be able to bring Zhuang Ding back from our village, but the villain will also be trapped on Motianling..."

Steward Wang looked at Xiao Dong after speaking up to this point, but didn't say any more.Xiao Dong only said that he was timid and unhappy, his face sank, and he said: "Those two bastards have been tossing around on Motian Ridge for a day, I don't believe they will really spend the night on the Ridge. You When you get to Motian Ridge, be careful for a while, and after these two guys leave, you can bring Zhuang Ding back, for fear that someone will not listen to your orders?!"

When Xiao Dong said this, he gave Steward Wang a hard look, and then said: "You are afraid that those two guys will harm you, so aren't you afraid that I will invite the Wang Ming flag to kill you?!"

Steward Wang was taken aback, trembled twice, and said in a trembling voice, "Yes, I'm going to find someone to prepare rice noodle quilts and send them to Motian Ridge as soon as possible."

After he finished speaking, he saluted Xiao Dong deeply and left in a hurry.Li Qiufeng thought to himself, although the imperial court often sent officials to patrol the four directions, and Jinyiwei and Dongchang would also send people to secretly investigate, but the so-called "Wang Ming Banner" is just something fabricated by the people of the world.What's more, Xiao Dong is just a person sent by the Firearms Bureau to handle affairs, how can he have the right to kill officials and civilians?He was only worried that Steward Wang would not do his best, so he threatened him.

After Steward Wang left, Xiao Dong had to wait outside the staff to go home, gather all the men who stayed at home, and bring them to Wang's Manor to gather together.Yu Yuanwai agreed without hesitation, but the faces of the other gentry changed drastically, trembling all over, and they refused to go back desperately.At the beginning, Xiao Dong was able to suppress his anger, and persuaded him with kind words, but these people refused to go back and take risks. Later, Xiao Dong was furious, and turned to Li Zhisheng and said, "Master Li, you are the magistrate of Dongliao County. These people are unwilling to contribute to the court, how do you think about it?"

Li Zhisheng saw several gentry looking at him eagerly, their eyes were full of pleading, he thought to himself, these guys donated money to Lao Tzu on weekdays, and some of them were related to the Governor of Liaodong.But the surname Xiao forced Lao Tzu to punish them. If they were too urgent and they insisted, Lao Tzu would be very unlucky.

Thinking of this, Li Zhisheng said to Xiao Dong with a smile on his face: "Lord Xiao, these guys are honest bosses, they are always cautious and never do bad things. Look at them, they are all powerless, If you encounter Japanese pirates at home, you must die. What's more, most of the Zhuang Ding and male men in their family were driven to Motianling by the Japanese pirates pretending to be me. Even if they return home, it is of no use. It is better to let them Wouldn't it be good to stay here and find a chance to invite them to Motian Ridge and bring all the men from their homes and villages to Wangjiazhuang?"

Seeing Li Zhisheng speaking for these gentry, Xiao Dong thought to himself, probably you, a dog official, have benefited from these people, so you stand up and speak for them.These guys are timid, it is useless to stay here, it is better to let them go back to their respective homes.In this way, the Japanese pirates will naturally send people to these people's homes to watch them, and the pressure on Wangjiazhuang will be less.It would be the best thing if these people were lucky enough to survive and bring some people back.

Xiao Dong made up his mind, glanced at Li Zhisheng, shook his head, and said in his mouth: "Right now we are alone, even if there is one more person, it would be a good thing. These brothers are all highly respected people. After returning home, Even if we can bring one person back, it will be of great benefit to us."

When Xiao Dong said this, the faces of those gentlemen were pale, the corners of their mouths twitched, and they almost fainted on the ground.Li Zhisheng wanted to say more, but seeing Xiao Dong's gloomy face, he could only swallow the words back into his stomach.Yu Yuanwai was quite calm, and cupped his hands towards Xiao Dong and said: "My lord, since we are doing our best for the imperial court, we naturally have a duty to do so. The villain will rush home and gather the men to serve the imperial court and your lord."

Seeing that Yuanwai obeyed his advice, Xiao Dong was very satisfied, and said in his mouth: "This is what Yuanwai said is good. After the matter is completed, the imperial court will reward you." When he said this, he paused for a while, and then glanced at the rest of the people. The gentry went on to say: "Don't worry, everyone. Xiao asks for your help. Naturally, you won't let everyone die in vain. Xiao wants He Butou to accompany you back. With him by his side, everyone can rest assured!"
