The county magistrate has no time to save the world

Chapter 142 Entering Qingmen County for the First Time

Horses and chariots are not fast.

Fu Yuhuan's pace was not fast either.

He didn't choose to ride a horse, but just walked on the road, outside the capital.

Both Zhang Buer and Jiang Ming rode horses, and so did Qian Haoduo.

They follow the rear of the line.

100 people from the Kyoto garrison walked in front of them.

In the end, 25 people were dispatched from the Chang'an County Government Yamen. The master stayed behind as guards, and Cui Jiang and Cui Poster took sick leave, but they were dragged back by the master's order.

The rest are little servants.

The garrison gave the Chang'an County Government Office [-] horses, so at this time Fu Yuhuan walked on one side of the team with four servants.

Qingmen County is only half a day's journey away from the capital. The group set off at dawn and entered the boundary of Qingmen County in the afternoon, but the journey was not easy.

Several roads were blocked by heavy snow, leaving only one Kangzhuang official road paved straight. Although the traces of the car tracks on it were clear, it was easy to derail due to the snow.

There are three carriages and two grain carts in the group.

This time the general Wu De and his wife were sitting in the three carriages, while Wu De's lieutenant general and his wife were sitting in the other carriage. In the last carriage were a few dancing girls. dancing girl.

Fu Yuhuan didn't ask any questions, nor did he have any suspicions. Even if the garrison brought [-] wild boars that could only fly, it had nothing to do with him, because the matter of suppressing bandits belonged to Chang'an County. If this matter failed, Chang'an County would be responsible On the head, the garrison has nothing to do with it.

But here is the interesting thing. Before leaving, people from Jingzhao Mansion came to order this operation. The commander of this operation was the garrison.

When a person does a job that is not his own, but the responsibility is his own, he will definitely not pay attention to it, or even make the matter bad, and push the responsibility out.

At least that's what General Wu De thinks in the carriage now.

"These people go to suppress the bandits, isn't it just to die?" Mrs. Wu De asked, "Why do you bring them?"

"It wasn't us who brought them, it was they who brought us. As a result, I have no experience in suppressing bandits. I have never seen an army with so many people. I can only find a familiar and capable general to command. It can only be me. It's gone." Wu De said helplessly.

"It's such a troublesome thing. This Chang'an County is very clamorous on weekdays. What is pleading for the people, what is the common people? Now that something really happens, you can only be a coward, why don't you obediently come to ask my husband for help, If you can’t do anything, you will talk about it.”

Mrs. Wu De snorted coldly, "That is to deceive the people below, but anyone with some knowledge and status will not listen to his nonsense."

"Hey, let's not talk about that. Banditry is rampant in the capital now, and it is even possible to have something to do with the Broken Silver Valley. Jin Yiwei has been paying attention for a long time. Some time ago, I heard that seven or eight people died in the suburbs. Your Majesty attaches great importance to it."

Wu De murmured, "If they can't do it, let's do it. We will do it, and then the credit will not be theirs. After all, no one in Chang'an County knows that I, Wu De, is a good soldier."

Mrs. Wu De opened the curtain of the carriage, looked at Zhang Buer and Jiang Ming on the horse, and then at Fu Yuhuan walking on the ground, "These people are really crooked, they can't do anything, especially that bald head, look It just eats waste that can’t work, the eyebrows are still a line, and the nose hair is longer than your hair.”

Wu De didn't speak, and closed his eyes angrily.

After walking a few steps, the carriage really derailed. Mrs. Wu De jingled and stepped out of the carriage, and immediately started cursing, "I don't know who the hell made this carriage track messy, how can I suppress the bandits?" How can the people in the county live if the horse-drawn carriages can’t reach the county town!”

Pointing to Zhang Buer who was on the horse, he said, "That hairy monkey hurry up to push the cart, can you compensate for the delay?"

Zhang Buer was bewildered, but there was nothing he could do about it. Mrs. Wu De looked big and round, she might be a trainer, and he couldn't stand being slapped on his ears, so he quickly got off the horse and went to push the cart.

Jiang Ming also came over, brought a few servants from the yamen, and helped them push the carriage out.

In the end, before Mrs. Wu De got on the car, she derailed again.

Mrs. Wu De opened her mouth again and scolded, "Can you push the cart? How can this cart walk if it is not on the track? You have to push it all the time, you are so stupid! You can't do anything, but you can use your mouth, Chang'an The county is a place to raise waste? Have you never been in a carriage or seen a carriage?"

Zhang Buer and Jiang Ming were scolded inexplicably.

Zhang Buer, who was about to go up to make a theory, had already composed his words, but was stopped by Jiang Ming, "Pay attention to your identity, the garrison will not keep it secret for you."

Seeing Zhang Buer approaching, Mrs. Wu De was chattering endlessly.

It was the first time Zhang Buer saw someone who could speak better than himself, and he was even more angry. In the end, he could only vent his anger on the carriage with all his strength.

The few people pushed for more than ten miles, and basically walked a certain distance and would derail once. The last time, the carriage was not a good quality thing, and suddenly a pulley fell apart.

Wu Defei, who was sitting in the car, rushed out, but pitied the chubby wife who was stuck in the door of the car, fell and ate shit.

Zhang Buer and Jiang Ming held back their laughter behind them, not daring to vent their anger.

Finally, under Mrs. Wu De's complaint, the two got into the lieutenant's carriage again.

This begins as soon as the two women meet.

"Sister, let me tell you, I heard what happened just now. These people have no good intentions. They probably broke your carriage..."

"I knew it! He's not a good person. Forget it, we generals can't have the same knowledge as these untouchables."

Because the carriage was delayed for some time, and the woman had to rest for a while because of the jolt of the carriage, relieved for a while, and had to cut down the ginkgo tree and take it back because of the beauty of the ginkgo tree. Anyway, it took about two hours before I left. Finish this half-hour journey.

By the time the group really entered Qingmen County, it was already night.

"There is also a curfew here?" asked the deputy general's wife.

"Is there a curfew here, afraid that someone will assassinate the village chief?" the deputy general replied.

"Can't you talk to me properly?" The lieutenant's wife kicked the lieutenant angrily.

The lieutenant turned his head and said with a sullen face, "There are so many people, don't let me make you look bad in front of others."

Although the madam was angry, she stopped talking.

Suddenly, when the fire appeared, an old man stepped forward, and a group of villagers followed behind, laughing and laughing, gongs and drums blared, firecrackers blared, and danced.

The old man quickly walked up to General Wu De, led the villagers to kneel on the ground, and said loudly, "Shen Dayou, the magistrate of Qingmen County, led the whole village to welcome General Wu De. The arrival of General Wu De is really from Qingmen County. Rong Guang, being able to understand the banditry, and accepting public grievances, let us...have something to eat."

As he spoke, Shen Dayou, the county magistrate, burst into tears.

Before Wu De could speak, Mrs. Wu De jumped out and helped Shen Dayou, "Don't worry about the county magistrate, since General Wu is here, he will surely wipe out those bandits and give your Qingmen County peace."

"Thank you, Madam, thank you Madam." Shen Dayou was so grateful that he knelt down for a long time, shouting for General Qingtian, and shouting that he was finally saved.

Surrounded by the villagers, General Wu De was sent all the way to live in the largest inn here. General Wu De and the deputy general are the two largest upper rooms, while all the people in Chang'an County live in Yihuo.

The food arrangement is very rich, there are fish and shrimp, chicken and sheep, and there are enough drinks.

Sitting next to Wu De was the county magistrate, who made General Wu De dizzy with his praise.

Fu Yuhuan didn't eat, but stood aside.

Zhang Buer and Jiang Ming couldn't eat, even if they had a lot of money.

"Under the Son of Heaven, those bandits don't dare to be too arrogant. Since I'm here, please rest assured that the bandits will be wiped out." Wu De said with a big smile.

"Thank you, General! Come on, let's toast the General again." As he spoke, the county magistrate toasted Wu De with several representatives of the village.

After drinking for three rounds, Wu De was a little confused. With the support of the county magistrate and the deputy general, he returned to the room, and Mrs. Wu De bathed and changed his clothes.

At this moment, Fu Yuhuan appeared in Wu De's room and knocked on the door lightly.

"Who is it?" Mrs. Wu De asked.

"Chang'an County arrest quickly." Fu Yuhuan said coldly.

"I'll talk about it tomorrow." Mrs. Wu De didn't have a good impression of Chang'an County. When she heard Fu Yuhuan's self-reported family name, she immediately gave up the idea of ​​opening the door.

"I found something and I need to report it to the general." Fu Yuhuan said.

"Hey? Who are you? I said, don't you understand if I have something to say tomorrow? If you don't leave, I will call someone!" Mrs. Wu De said angrily.

Fu Yuhuan said calmly, "If you don't say it, you won't hear it tomorrow."

"Don't say it if you can't hear it!" Mrs. Wu De said, "Come here! Drive him away!"

The guard standing outside the door immediately blocked the wooden door with a horizontal knife.

Fu Yuhuan nodded, turned and left the room.

Back in the room, Zhang Buer and Jiang Ming sat at the table facing each other, while Qian Haoduo paced back and forth.

"How is it?" Everyone asked at the same time when they saw Fu Yuhuan coming back.

Fu Yuhuan shook his head.

"What should I do? I always feel that there is a problem with the county magistrate, a big problem." Qian Haoduo said, "I don't know if the master has come out now."

"When I entered Qingmen County, I told Cui Jiang and Cui Hai to wait at the gate of the outer city. Once the master comes out, I will tell him the information as soon as possible." Jiang Ming said.

Zhang Buer frowned, "Brother Huan, tell me, what's wrong, I always think there's nothing wrong with it."

"Why is there banditry in Qingmen County?" Fu Yuhuan asked.

"Because this is the last stop before entering the capital, most merchants and military resources will be counted and inspected here again, and there is still half a day's distance from the capital, so they will rest here at night..." said Zhang Bu Only then did I understand what was wrong.

What about the shopkeeper?
What about military funds?
Nothing at all!

It is impossible to open countless inns in Qingmen County. Even if this inn is vacated specially for them, there must be some traces. But along the way, except for the villagers who followed them, he did not see any passers-by.

"I'll go out and have a look." Zhang Buer was still a little skeptical.

"You don't need to go out." Jiang Ming said, "I grew up in the county. No county looks like this at night. You can see it from here."

Zhang Buer probed out, and the whole county was pitch black.

"Just after one watch now, there is no one on the street. This is not a county, this is an ambush." ​​Jiang Ming said, "In a county town, there is not a child who loves to cry and play, and there is not a single animal running around. , it’s impossible.”

"Then... isn't the ball dead?" Zhang Buer was shocked.
