Chen Xi didn't know who wanted to transfer him to the northwest for the time being, and he was indignant.

The trouble hasn't been done yet?

I had just improved in the three southeastern provinces, so I wanted to transfer me away. After I arrived in the northwest, I became a pawn who worked as a coolie for those nobles. I was responsible for carrying it, and I was in the front of the danger, and I was in the back of the grandsons who stayed behind would share most of the credit.

Whoever loves to go to the muddy water in the northwest? I won’t serve you anyway!

Either keep me in the southeast and continue to operate, or transfer me back to the capital to teach naughty children. When the throne is about to change, the most important thing is to settle down. As for the court's outstanding performance, it means little to me. No one in the court will convince me, a younger generation who has not grown all the hair.

Only when Emperor Zhengde ascended the throne and messed up the court was my great show.

On the 16th of March, Jian Fang, the magistrate of Huilai County, personally went to the inn to deliver a list of donated materials.

The quantity made Chen Xi very satisfied after seeing it, but the quality problem needs to be mentioned in another way. I am afraid that local gentry would fool people with inferiority as good ones. However, judging from the enthusiasm of Huilai gentry to suppress bandits, this possibility is not high.

We must rely on the official army to combat bandits, and we dare to use inferior products as good as military supplies. The gentry in Huilai County is to dig their own graves.

Jian Fang conveyed the expectations of local gentry for Chen Xi, hoping that Chen Xi could succeed in one battle and completely resolve the bandits on the coast of Guangdong. However, no one realized that the rampant local bandits were the result of the failure of the governance.

In the eyes of rulers, most mud-legged people are unruly people who hinder their promotion and promotion. Only by changing this mentality, striving to develop people's livelihood, revitalizing the economy, and allowing everyone to have enough food and clothing, can local bandits be reduced. By suppressing, even if a wave of bandits is destroyed, if the people are still living in poverty, it will not take long for a new bandit to rise again.

Chen Xi went to the city just to get money and food, so he was not polite and accepted it with a smile.

After ten days of traveling in the inn, Chen Xi was now very tired, but he still picked up paper and pen to formulate strategies for marching and fighting. He usually sorted out the situation along the way and recorded it on the record when making a diary.

"Sir, it's time for you to rest. You will set off for Haimen Station tomorrow." After the drum beat at the third update, Jing Yue came in to remind Chen Xi to rest early.

Chen Xi raised his head and looked at Jing Yue. He couldn't help but think that when he was in Beijing or Guangzhou, he would stay up late every time he had business hours, Xie Yuner or Xie Hengnu reminded him to rest early, but he could not enjoy the gentle place when he went out to fight. In the middle of the night, the one who expressed concern to him was replaced by a man like Jing Yue.

"knew."

Chen Xi put down his pen and said, "Notify the county government that the materials raised will be sent to the camp outside the city at 5 o'clock tomorrow morning, and ask them to help transport the remaining part to Haimen Station. I will not stay in the city for a long time."

Chen Xi explained, got up and went back to the room.

Chen Xi went to rest, and Jing Yue had to arrange people to stay at night to prevent anyone from sneaking into the inn. However, along the way, no one dared to be detrimental to Chen Xi, the commander of the three armies, as if he was doing useless work.

...

...

The moon is dark and the wind is high, and Huilai County is peaceful, with only the light shining in front of the county government. Zaoli and the officers and soldiers are busy in an orderly manner, while the inn where Chenxi is settled is calm.

Chen Xi had just lie down and didn't wait to sleep well. Noise came from outside. Chen Xi was very alert and immediately got up and dressed to the door. Jing Yue hurried over and told him: "Sir, I'm holding a few men in black, it seems to be an assassin."

"assassin!?"

Chen Xi's face was full of surprise. He never expected that someone would assassinate him. This is a county town protected by the city walls on all sides. Is there really a "hero" who is coming and going to assassinate officials and act on the way for heaven?

Chen Xi asked: "What's going on? Have they confirmed their identities?"

Jing Yue shook his head: "Sir, I don't know the specific situation yet. These people came into the dog's hole. Brothers were wary and did not let these lambs take advantage of the situation."

When Chen Xi heard that it was drilling into a dog hole, he knew that it was not the hero he imagined. At most, he was a few assassins who "be able to bend and stretch". When he arrived at the front hall, he saw soldiers escorting three "assassins" up. Chen Xi's intuition told him that these three guys were probably robbers of robbers.

The three of them were beaten and bruised.

They were beaten to death before they saw the official, which was because they were not lucky. The guests who lived in the inn today were not ordinary officials, but the governors and the governors who held the army and the governors' personal soldiers. They clearly hit the gun.

Jing Yue went up and pulled a young man who looked only about twenty years old, grabbed his collar and asked, "Who told you to come to the inn to assassinate the governor?"

The young man had a small face and his facial features looked like that. But when they got together, it was like a pile of sheep's poop on his face. It was extremely ugly and the key was a bad sound. He cursed in the voice of a duck:

"You guys are so domineering. We are just stealing something. If we fall, we are not capable. We just send us to the county government. Why do we want to beat people? Oh, hiss... we only know that some officials often live here, and we don't know any adults."

Jing Yue was angry and kicked the young man in the stomach, kicked him down, shouting, "You dare to be stubborn, pull him out and beat him!"

When the young man with horse face heard this, he was so distressed: "You still beat me? I beg you if you want to be successful? If you beat me again, you will die!"

Jing Yue didn't take this trick. He was about to take people out, but Chen Xi yawned and waved his hand to signal Jing Yue not to shout and kill him. Jing Yue then let go of the three people in front of him with a terrible face.

Chen Xi asked, "Is he a local?"

"What kind of adults do we just make a living. What's the difference between being a local?" said the young man with horse face angrily.

This guy was arrested when he came to steal, but he was justified, as if he was wronged. But his accent was not a native of Guangdong Province, but an accent from Jiangbei. As for why he came to Huilai County, it is hard to say, but it cannot be used to clear his assassin's suspicion.

The thief is sneaking, but the big thief can pretend to be garlic. What if the assassin is really a mistake and is captured, and lied to be a thief for survival?

Chen Xi asked, "Can we find weapons before?"

"have!"

Jing Yue brought the "weapon" from the soldier, but it was a bunch of iron wire and keys. If you want to say that you can slip on the door and unlock Chen Xi, you believe that Chen Xi would be a killer, but saying that this thing can be a killer will insult someone's IQ. However, Chen Xi still did not take it lightly. What if the assassin has rich experience and deliberately used such a bunch of keys as a fool to clear his suspicion?

Chen Xi was cautious and pondered for a while and asked again: "Is there anything else?"

Jing Yue nodded again: "Yes!"

After saying that, Jing Yue took out a pocket, which contained things that were found from the three thieves including the young man on horse face. There were six or seven copper plates, rags, rouge boxes, handkerchiefs and hairpins. "Dingling Danglang" scattered all over the ground.

It was obvious that I had just stolen from a boudoir. Before I could hide the stolen goods, I followed the dog hole in the inn to continue committing the crime. I didn't want to catch it.

This could have dispelled suspicion, but Chen Xi still had a cautious attitude. Maybe this was a trick. Then he thought: "If a big thief from a family wants to assassinate and bring such a bunch of things on his body, it would be enough to lose the price!"

Chen Xi stood up and said, "Pull it out, beat thirty sticks, and then interrogate it. Remember not to kill someone and send it to the county government tomorrow." After that, he yawned and continued to go back to sleep.

After such a struggle, Chen Xi lay down for a long time and couldn't fall asleep. Instead, there was a scream like a pig slaughtering from afar. It seemed that Jing Yue and his officers and soldiers were very good at attacking.

Chen Xi ignored it, and it was the fifth day of the day when he came out of the room. When he came out of the room, Huilai's magistrate Jian Fang was already waiting in the main hall. Jian Fang learned that the inn had a "assassin" yesterday and was waiting outside to apologize to Chen Xi.

"Mr. Shen, are you fine?" Jian Fang first expressed her concern when she saw Chen Xi.

Chen Xi waved his hand: "It's okay, but it's a problem for County Magistrate Jian. The three people outside..."

Jian Fang quickly said, "Sir, I have been to see it. They are all habitual thieves in the city. After the court has been tried more than once or twice, I am almost sitting in the prison. Don't worry, these habitual thieves will definitely be sent to serve as soldiers and will not do evil again from now on."

It seems that it is so cruel, but the yamen have always been cruel to the thieves, but they have no choice but to the thieves who have committed many evil things in the local area.

Chen Xi couldn't help but remember what the young man with horse face said at night. He just came out to make a living and opened the door and locked it was one of the 360 ​​abilities. If he traveled to such a little thief, even if he had a lot of knowledge, he would have to solve the problem of filling his stomach first, and he might not necessarily have embarked on this path.

"So it's a habitual thief, no wonder it is like this!" Chen Xi shook his head and said, "I also fought yesterday, so I asked them to leave Huilai County by themselves."

Chen Xi suddenly felt his life experience and had no intention of killing all three thieves.

Jian Fang thought that as long as Chen Xi didn't pursue it, it would be easy to say, so she quickly saluted: "It's up to the Lord to decide everything."

Chen Xi immediately asked Jing Yue to let the person go, but when he came out to the yard in front, he saw that the three little thieves, including the young horse-faced man, had been beaten to the point of half of their lives, and lay on the ground motionless. Jing Yue stepped forward and kicked, shouting, "Want to pretend to be dead? Get up!"

The young man with horse face forced open his eyes and murmured: "Respect human life, ignore human life..."

"My mom, I dare to talk nonsense. Let's see how your grandpa dealt with you!"

Jing Yue was about to punch and kick again, but Chen Xi stopped him.

Chen Xi looked down at the young man with horse-faced face. It was indeed pitiful. The only thing such a person is to slip through the door and unlock the lock. Even if he was given a way out, he would continue to steal in the future. The final result was that he was sent to serve as a military force and died on the frontier.

"Let them follow the army." Chen Xidao.

"Sir, this... isn't right, these are three thieves. How can there be such a rat in the army?" Jing Yue disagreed with Chen Xi's decision.

Chen Xidao: "Lao Yue, some things need to be adapted. Although they are thieves, they are very proficient in unlocking locks. If you are replaced, will it be okay?"

Jing Yue smiled awkwardly. Who would slip away from the door and unlock the lock if he wanted to go to the battlefield?

Chen Xi said again: "Take it with you, please let them eat with one bite of food. Maybe it will be useful in the future. If it is useless, you will send it away on the road and let it die."
