Chapter 142

Regarding Jiang Du's proposal, County Magistrate Chen did not immediately agree.He smiled and invited Wen Jisheng and Jiang Du to sit down, and arranged for good wine and food to entertain: "You two distinguished guests, please wait a moment, I will deal with important matters first, and after you two have enough rest, we will come to discuss important matters. "

Regarding this, Jiang Du acted very reasonable and expressed his understanding.He handed over the proof of office on his body to County Magistrate Chen, and said: "What I said is true, your lord will know when you look at the transfer order given by the Holy One."

He cupped his hands at the other party: "However, since my lord has important matters to attend to, it's better to deal with the important matters first. It doesn't matter if we wait for a while."

Compared with Jiang Du's respect and dignity, Wen Jisheng seemed much more at ease.He didn't care how Chen County Magistrate reacted, he only expressed his gratitude to the table of wine and food:
"After tossing and tossing all the way, my stomach is already full of hunger." He tasted the wine and said, "Tsk, this wine is really fragrant-thanks to Mr. Chen for taking the trouble to entertain me, I will not be polite!"

County Magistrate Chen: "Two take it easy."

After speaking, he retreated outside with the military division, and the two talked in a low voice.

The master was puzzled: "My lord, it's not too late. Since someone can lead us the way, why don't we strike while the iron is hot? The sooner we act, the sooner we take down Song Ranze and Shen Zhihang, right?"

County magistrate Chen stroked his beard and said, "Although that's the case, my lord always feels that something is wrong." He thought about it for a while, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong.

Master: "What's wrong? The villain just thinks we're very lucky."

County Magistrate Chen ignored him, and just looked down at Jiang Du's transfer order.

It was the letter of appointment stamped by Yuxi, and County Magistrate Chen couldn't find any doubts.

Could it be that he is overthinking?

Chen county magistrate held the transfer order in his hand, and made a decision in his heart.

After County Magistrate Chen left, Wen Jisheng suddenly stopped moving.He put down his wine glass, looked at Jiang Du, and said, "Are you sure this fatuous and corrupt official will listen to you? I think he seems to have doubts."

Jiang Du was very calm: "The transfer order I gave him is absolutely true, it is true, and he has no reason to doubt it." He said: "Being greedy, County Magistrate Chen cannot refuse my proposal."

As long as there is a glimmer of hope to suppress the bandits, with Chen County Magistrate's greed, he will definitely do it.

Sure enough, the two of them didn't wait long in the camp when Magistrate Chen reappeared with his subordinates.This time, County Magistrate Chen brought an affirmative answer:

"How did you two enjoy your meal? Master Jiang, return the original letter of appointment—although I feel sorry for you two, but I really need you two to guide the way so that I can implement the bandit suppression plan."

County magistrate Chen said: "I also ask you two to leave quickly after eating, so as not to have long nights and dreams."

Hearing this, Jiang Du and Wen Jisheng looked at each other, and they smiled silently.

Jiang Du stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Naturally, suppressing the bandits is more important. We will go with you."

Ban Xiyu returned to the house where she was held.It's just that this time is not as lucky as before - in order to prevent her from escaping again, Song Ran specially ordered someone to add a rope around her body to tie her tightly.

In addition, two other people were sent to watch her at the door in case someone came to rescue her.

Ban Xiyu acted very calmly, without any panic.She sat on the ground with her legs bent, and quietly took out the dagger hidden in her boots——

Fortunately, when she came to Xiaoyunzhai, she had prepared it a long time ago, and she carried the dagger that Wen Jisheng gave her with her, and hid it concealedly, so that Lao Qin, Song Ranze and others did not find it.

While watching the movement outside, Ban Xiyu cut the rope on his wrist with a dagger.

The dagger was extremely sharp, and it was unshackled in the blink of an eye.

But Ban Xiyu was not in a hurry to untie the rope, but first shouted outside: "Is anyone there? Is there anyone? I'm hungry, bring me something to eat."

The bandit guarding outside kicked the door impatiently: "What's your name? Do you think you're still the military advisor of Xiaoyunzhai? Hmph, you're just a prisoner. If you dare to ask for this or that, be careful I'm not polite to you! "

Ban Xiyu said: "The second master only said that he locked me up, but he didn't want my life, nor ordered you to mistreat me. If I make a mistake, how can you explain to the second master?"

She calmly said: "Although I'm being locked up here right now, there's no guarantee that the Second Master will change his mind and let me go out—after all, I have also made suggestions for Xiaoyunzhai. If it comes to a critical moment, tell me, the Second Master will Won't you remember me?"

"Bah, I care so much about you? You're talking too much, do you still want to use the second boss to suppress me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the little bandit rushed up to teach Ban Xiyu a lesson.But at this time, another person immediately grabbed him and persuaded him:
"Oh, don't be impulsive! Although this stinky scholar is unreasonable, what he said is right-you see, our cottage is surrounded by dog ​​officials surnamed Chen, and the two masters are still trying to find a way to tide over the crisis. If they can't think of a way, In the end, I still have to let this kid think of a way."

The man said stubbornly: "The second master manages a lot of things every day, and he will definitely come up with a great plan. Why use this traitor's plan? If he cheats us again, it will be a disadvantage!"

"Don't be afraid of [-], just in case. In short, you should calm down first." As he spoke, he glanced at Ban Xiyu and warned:
"Master 'Military Advisor', I advise you, don't cause trouble. If you really push the Second Leader into a hurry, no matter how talented you are, the Second Leader will still be able to kill you."

Ban Xiyu: "I'm already a prisoner, what else can I cause? I'm just hungry and I just can't bear it anymore."

The man looked at her carefully for a while, but in the end he didn't say anything, he just believed her words: "Okay, just wait for a while, I'll send someone to deliver the food."

After finishing speaking, the bandit closed the door again and backed out.

Through a door, Ban Xiyu could clearly hear the sound of footsteps going away, and another person swearing impatiently.

She estimated the approximate time for the other party to go back and forth, and then called another bandit who was guarding the gate over in the middle of the gap: "Come here, come here, I want to urinate, quickly untie me!"

The voice fell, and there was a moment of silence outside.Immediately afterwards, the bandit stood up abruptly, ran over with a knife in his hands, and kicked the door open with a bang——

"Stinky boy, I think you are looking for faults on purpose!—"

Before he finished speaking, a small shadow suddenly fell beside him.The bandit paused, and when he turned his head to look, a chair slammed on his face with precision.

There was a muffled sound of "dong", and the wooden chair hit the bandit hard on the head.The pupils of the bandit's eyes dilated for an instant, then his body swayed, and he fell down immediately.

Ban Xiyu threw away the broken wooden chair and kicked the opponent.Seeing that there was no response, Ban Xiyu breathed a sigh of relief.

She squeezed her slightly trembling fingertips, then took a step, and slipped out over the bandits.
