Chapter 473
The magistrate of Lantian County is a man named Zhou Dao. This person was originally a captain of Lantian County and has a relationship with Li Jing's family. Since Bai Fan was named as the Marquis of Lantian and Zhongnan Academy became famous, he was promoted to be the magistrate of Lantian County. , To put it bluntly, Lantian County was designated as Bai Fan's sphere of influence.

"At the end of the day, Zhou Dao, I pay my respects to General Qin!"

Seeing Qin Qiong coming, Zhou Dao went out to greet Qin Qiong in person, and gave Qin Qiong a formal military salute on the spot.

Qin Qiong smiled and took his hand, "Brother Zhou is dressed in the robes of a county magistrate, but he is performing the military salute of the Tang Dynasty. It's really too nondescript. It's rare that you still remember your background in the army, and don't forget us a group of veterans." Brother, let's go in and talk."

"Okay, General Qin, wait a moment, Rong Mo will explain one or two things."

Zhou Dao saw a group of people dressed as ordinary people wandering in front of the yamen, he wanted to step forward but was afraid of offending the nobles.

So Zhou Dao stepped forward to explain one or two things, "Fellow folks, the county government office has other official duties today and cannot open the government office. If there is something to do, you can go to the master to make a record first, and I will deal with it immediately after the work is done."

Those few people who were a little timid wanted to be persuaded to go back, but there were also those who insisted firmly: "No, I'm here to find the county magistrate. The matter is urgent and has something to do with the safety of Lantian Hou."

Zhou Dao was puzzled, what could a group of common people have to do with Lan Tianhou?
But Qin Qiong over there had sharp eyes and ears, heard clearly, and immediately stepped forward and said: "Since the matter involves Lan Tianhou, let's go in and deal with it. I have nothing important, so I will take a look with you."

"This is General Qin Qiong and Qin Shubao, the protector of the dynasty. Since the general said so, let's go inside and talk about it."

When everyone heard it, it turned out to be the God of War of the Tang Dynasty, and hurriedly knelt down to salute, with admiration in their eyes.

A group of people surrounded the county government office, and Qin Qiong asked first: "Fellow folks, just now you said that you came here on something related to the safety of the Marquis of Lantian. I don't know why?"

The headed commoner said: "We are residents of Suanzao Lane in the southwest of the city. A few days ago, a few wealthy lords came to our place and bought half of our house in Suanzao Lane. was bought at a high price.

Those of us who haven’t sold our house are very jealous…”

Zhou Dao was speechless, what would you say to the general about these trivial matters of people's livelihood?
Interrupted: "Master has reported this matter. He said that he is a big family from Chang'an. He has relatives who want to settle in Lantian. Let's talk about the main point. The trivial matter of buying and selling houses can be omitted."

"In the next few days, many people lived in those houses. These people lived in seclusion, and we hardly saw them. Every day there was the sound of knives and sticks practicing martial arts."

Then the second person said: "It seemed that too many people came and they lacked manpower to work, so they hired a few people from our side to buy vegetables and cook for them.

When we delivered food to them yesterday, we vaguely heard them say that we can start fighting when the number of people reaches [-], and then we can seek revenge from the surname Bai. "

"We thought, 500 people? We want to deal with the surname Bai? It seems that the only famous people here in Lantian are Lantian Hou with the surname Bai, so I hurried to report to the county magistrate. My lord, you must take down the thief. Lantianhou is a good man, you can't I was killed by them." The leader knelt down angrily and begged.

"Yes, yes, my lord, the second child of the third brother's family was accepted by Zhongnan Academy this year, and we all look forward to this child's success!" Several other people also knelt down and begged for mercy. The third brother they said is the leader common people.

Qin Shubao admired the righteousness of these common people. Is this the Chaoyang crowd that Bai Fan mentioned to the emperor before?
He helped up a few people by himself, and comforted them with a smile: "Don't worry, folks, the thieves will take this, and your children will definitely become useful. Now you leave your address and route, and hide in the county government for a while, and wait for me." Take the thief so you can go home safely."

After getting the route map of the thief's residence and resettling several people, Qin Qiong explained to Zhou Dao about the underworld. Zhou Dao was also furious. Although he had been a civil servant for many years, he still had the blood on the battlefield. Fear, but anger, how could they help foreigners deal with Lan Tianhou regardless of enemy or friend?

"Qin Hu, with my general's warrant, go to Chang'an quickly, and call in three thousand elite cavalry from the left military guard. He is going to personally exterminate these traitors who have turned to the enemy."

Qin Qiong got angry. He didn't know how many people there were in the underworld, but he wanted to send 500 people to take revenge on the academy. The Green Forest of the Tang Dynasty has always been a hero, and there are so many scum of ethnic groups, they should be killed!

Two hours later, Qin Qiong led the team in armor, followed by a hundred guards, and the county magistrate Zhou Dao, who was also in a rare military uniform, attacked directly from north to south, completely encircling Suanzao Lane in the southwest of Lantian County.

The astute person among the underworld figures shouted: "No, it's the cavalry, the cavalry of the imperial court, we have been exposed."

After all, they are people who have been in the rivers and lakes for many years. After a short period of confusion, they quickly drew their weapons and looked at the door together, ready to defend and fight.

"The thieves are coming out, so is Tang Qin Qiong! Who is the leader, show up quickly!" Qin Qiong shouted with a pair of maces in his hands.

Everyone was shocked, but they felt a little relieved. Qin Qiong was fine. He was born in the green forest. It was the tacit rule that the court did not suppress the green forest. Qin Qiong's reputation as a chivalrous man was all black and white, so he probably wouldn't kill.

I saw the door in the middle opened, revealing the figure inside, an eight-foot man in black strode out first and laughed loudly: "So it's Brother Qin, he's being ruthless and polite when getting off the iron."

"Second Brother Qin, do you remember Qi Wusheng on the south bank of the Yangtze River?"

"No. 36 on the list of killers—Soul Killer, I've seen Second Master Qin of the Green Forest!"

Two more people came out from the courtyards on both sides, and greeted Qin Qiong one after another.

Qin Qiong didn't even get off the horse, and sneered, "The old Jiu Tie Wuqing, who is the twelve evils of the underworld? Qi Wusheng, who ranks No. 12 as the living dead of the Yangtze River? I didn't expect that you would surrender to the enemy and treason, okay, okay!

Hmph, as for the killing of souls?Haven't heard of it, the unknown junior also has a name?There is no green forest Qin Shubao here today, only the great general Qin Qiong of Zuowuwei of the Tang Dynasty who came to suppress the bandits! "

you……

Duanhunsha wanted to step forward to refute a few words, but looking around, no one wanted to support him, knowing that his reputation was low, and he was indeed not worthy of the recognition of a big brother like Qin Qiong, so he simply stood aside and stopped talking.

Tie Wuqing and Qi Wusheng both choked, "Why did Second Brother Qin say that? In the past, you and I had a friendship of drinking together. Although we belonged to the underworld, we admired Second Brother for his character and righteousness. Second brother is in trouble, why don’t the six relatives recognize you today?”

"Bah! It's not that Qin's six relatives don't recognize him, and you really dare not climb up and recognize a thief as your father. You are willing to disregard your reputation and seek refuge with a foreign race, and use it as a knife in the hands of a foreign race to deal with the Tang people. You are my enemy Qin.

If you still think about the friendship of old friends, just listen to my advice, turn around and leave now, I can pretend that I haven't seen you today. "Qin Qiong scolded angrily.

Tie Wuqing yelled: "What alien race? Our underworld has always been doing business with money for our lives, so we don't care what employer the other party is? Brother Qin, you forced us like this, isn't it telling us to show bad rules?"

"That's right, the other party's bid is so high that we can't refuse it, so I'm sorry, Second Brother Qin." Qi Wusheng also echoed.

Duan Hun Sha sneered and said: "What kind of hypocrisy and hypocrisy are you pretending to be? What good does the Tang Dynasty do to us? Corrupt officials are everywhere, and it would be better to kill them all earlier."

Before Qin Qiong could get mad, someone had already stepped forward to surround this guy and knocked him to the ground, "Second Master Qin is a hero we all respect, black and white, how dare the younger generation insult him?"

Seeing this, Qin Qiong sighed with emotion: "Not all gangsters deserve to die. There are many heroes among you. You can not tell right from wrong, but you can't forget your ancestors. We green forest rangers are in the country. Killing and slashing because of hatred is nothing more than brothers fighting against each other, but Helping a foreign race to deal with one's own race is a traitor who betrayed his ancestors!
Traitors, everyone can punish them!Do you want to shame your ancestors?

Thinking of the incense and fire in the green forest back then, within a stick of incense, I put down my sword and left. I think I have never seen it today. After a stick of incense, Qin will hold a golden mace and clear the door for the Huaxia clan. "
