Chapter 28 Cold Sweat

"Iron ore is a major event. The imperial court is using troops. If news of the iron ore is released here, it will be considered a great achievement."

"That man was really clever. He knew that this could not be avoided by my brothers, so he simply beat the drums and drums to let the whole city know."

"Wolong is reborn, haha..."

The sound of horse hooves 'trampled' on the bluestone bricks on the long street. Above the big brown-yellow horse with its hooves, the county magistrate waved his whip and gently tapped the shaking horse mane. The horse's head tilted his head in confusion and looked at the owner on his back. The former stroked it and said to another knight beside him: "This person from Gengjia Village is ignorant of his big words. It is a wise man to do this. It is rare to know how to respect you and me."

The knight next to him is his brother. One of the brothers is Gao Jun and the other is Gao Sheng. He has a similar appearance and a burly figure. Gao Sheng is dressed as a warrior, with long beards and thick eyebrows, and a big black-shewn brass hangs around his waist. He sits on the back of a horse with a majestic look on his face.

"The brother was assassinated on the street that day. Someone called the brothers of the Jindao Gang to help him on the street. Later, from the gang members, it was Geng Qing."

Speaking of this, when he saw his brother looking over, Gao Sheng stroked his thick beard under his chin and continued, "I am a confidant, good at skill and average in mind, but I can give me the idea of ​​collecting firewood from mountains. After asking, I found out that it was a farmer's family. He just reported to me that it was Geng Qing who asked me to notify my brother. It seems that the sunrise idea was also this young man."

"Is there such a thing?"

Gao Jun grinned his teeth. It was the first time he learned about this from his brothers. It was the current iron ore incident. He suddenly felt good about the young man named Geng Qing. He could help him in times of danger, even if he shouted twice on his own, it would be a kindness.

"Brother, we lack human resources anyway, so we don't know such big words and are eager to be wise. It's even more rare that the other party can show goodwill to my brothers. It's better to bring it in."

The leader of the Golden Sword Gang also had a momentum that was not inferior to his brother. He glanced at the north intentionally or unintentionally, "The Khitans always need people to deal with them often. Geng Qing is a clean and has no bottom line in his work, so he can use it."

On the other side, Gao Jun looked at the number of people in the city gradually increasing in front of him, waved his hand gently and lowered his voice.

"No hurry. If you want to please these people, you need to observe more days. It's just a matter of iron ore to test it. If you really lean on us brothers, you can help you to serve your confidant."

After walking for a while, the crowds of people gathered at the yamen were boiling, and someone shouted: "The body is in front of you, why do you need evidence!"

"That's right, the county magistrate should not shelter the murderer, otherwise we won't do it!"

Dian Li waved his obituary and advised them to calm down. Someone threw a stone from the crowd and hit the head, breaking his scalp and bleeding.

Not far away, Gao Jun stopped talking, frowned, and turned his head to attract a cavalry.

"Scatter the people aside, the county magistrate will enter the county government."

Several cavalrymen received orders and rode over to the horses. The people surrounded the people behind were so shocked that they fled away in all directions. They were wiped by the running horses and directly crashed into the crowd. Suddenly, they were overturned.

Xilulu-

The horse neighed a long time, and the horse-stopped the horse separated the left and right. He pulled out his horizontal sword and shouted loudly at the crowd that was stumbled and avoided, forcing a way out.

"Back, back!"

The sound of horse hooves approaching from afar. On the horse's back, Gao Junwei's eyes swept across the surroundings, lifted his cloak and turned over and dismounted, and took Gao Sheng to the county government gate. The manager of the Liu family came forward and bowed, calling respectfully: "County lieutenant."

"Yes." Gao Jun glanced at him, then stopped talking, took off his sword and handed it to his deputy, waved to Dian Li to give him the obituary, spread it in his hand, looked at him with a soft hum, glanced at the manager of the Liu family beside him, and waved to him.

"come over."

The manager hurried forward, and before he could speak, he slapped his big hand on his face, and he stumbled and swayed and knocked off the wooden pillars under the eaves, covering the five red fingerprints on his face dizzy, "... County lieutenant."

Gao Jun was too lazy to see him, so he threw the obituary in his hand to the ground, and waved to the people who dared not speak outside: "It's all scattered, the county magistrate has said that there is insufficient evidence. You still want to mess around. If you attack the government, it would be a rebellion."

He was buckled with a hat of rebellion and rebellion. No one could bear it. The scholars who were originally clamoring for the most fierce suddenly scattered, and the people who called their friends squeezed out of the crowd in groups of three or three and didn't know where they ran.

The rest of the people left without a word, only the orphans and widows, and the thugs of the Liu family stood there. Seeing the gazes of the soldiers around them, a moment, the women and children wearing mourning clothes also took off the Maiyi belt, threw it on the ground, picked up the child and ran away, which made the Liu family manager smile awkwardly.

"She...they...."

snort!

On the other side, Gao Jun snorted coldly, turned around and took his deputy. Gao Sheng walked into the yamen. The civil servants he met on the way retreated to the side and bowed to the salute. After asking the county magistrate and Geng Qing where they were, they went straight to search.

The daily offices are all located on the side courtyard, where there are several side rooms, and the county magistrate's room is also here. When Gao Jun went there, the county magistrate who was talking to Geng Qing received a report from the officer, and the two stopped talking.

The sound of footsteps came.

The latter pursed his lips and sat on the chair and moved, but stood up. The open door showed a tall figure. Geng Qing hurriedly stepped forward to welcome him in.

"I've seen a county lieutenant."

"You're Geng Qing?" The tall figure who stepped into the threshold nodded at the well-polite young man, and then said a few words of praise before looking at the fat county magistrate there.

"County Master, can you be safe in the near future?"

"If the county magistrate does not care about it, the county is doing very well, and you are busy every day and have no time to spare." The county magistrate did not dare to offend the other party, but as a landlord, he could not be too humble and defame himself. He lowered his eyes, brushed his wide sleeves casually, and turned sideways.

"I didn't know the county magistrate and suddenly returned to the yamen. What should I report to the county?"

County Magistrate Gao just smiled.

"It's nothing, I just heard that Niu Jiaji had dug out an iron ore, so I'll come back to take a look." As he said that, he looked at Geng Qing who was leaning against the door, "It's a good job, you go back first. I and the county magistrate will come to Niu Jiaji tomorrow, so you will take us to find them. As for those outside the door, don't pay attention to it."

After saying that, he waved his hand: "Go out, those people outside don't need to pay attention to it."

"yes."

Geng Qing bowed carefully, slowly exited the door with his face. When he got outside, there was a big man smiling at him with a wide waist and a knife. He also smiled, hurriedly left the Crescent Gate and walked out of the county government office, and met with Dachun who was waiting outside, asking him all the way inside, and asked him how it was like? Will he be arrested and jailed, or something like that.

"It won't be a problem, let's go back."

"stop!"

The manager of the Liu family covered his side face and rushed over. When things came to this point, they were not willing to let anyone go. They reached out to grab them. Geng Qing, who was walking in front of them, stopped, turned around suddenly, and raised his hand.

Bang-

Another crisp sound rang out on the other side of the manager's face, making the other party confused.

"How can you be so arrogant in the yamen?" Geng Qing lowered his palm and carried it behind his back. Looking at the Liu family's yard guards who were about to rush over, the cavalry and yamen runners at the door also took a step forward and forced them back. He bowed and thanked him and asked Dachun and the other two to leave.

He accelerated his pace and walked through the streets and alleys. As soon as he left the city gate, Dachun immediately danced and said with all his hands and feet. Geng Qing, who was following behind, smiled and said nothing, but a layer of cold sweat broke out under his clothes on his back.

It was too dangerous just now.

Unexpectedly, Liu Mang's people came to the county government earlier than him. If he hadn't thought about promoting the ore in advance, the county magistrate would have been bribed by the other party and put himself in prison. Even if he had various strategies, he would not be able to perform it.

Shortly after the four of them left, a group of thugs from the Liu family pulled the body and returned along the way. The sky fell. Liu Miao, who had moved a chair and sat in the front yard for news, saw that he was back, and the four bodies were also pulled back and placed outside. He was so angry that he carried the chair and threw it over.

Bang!

The chair was broken on the ground, and the foot of a chair rolled away. Liu Mang blushed and asked the maid to support him and stabilize his lower body. He pointed at the manager for a while before he could squeeze out his words.

"What the hell is going on?"

"Geng Qing returned to the main house. He found the iron ore... the county magistrate who had already acted was rebellious, and... the county magistrate who heard the news also rushed over and pressed the matter down."

County lieutenant?

Liu Mang was stunned and was silent for a moment, "It seems that I have to prepare a gift. What's wrong with the red sides of your face?"

"It was the county magistrate who fought..."

“On both sides?”

The old manager raised his face slightly, looked at the master's house, swallowed hesitantly. After Liu Mang's urging, he spoke: "Yes... it's Geng Qing. He asked me to bring you a word, he said... he said..."

"What did you say? You said it, I'm so anxious!" Liu Mang was sluggishly waved his hand and walked around in a hurry, wishing he could go over and slap him again.

"He said... he wanted to expose the ancestral home of the master."

Damn it!

The fat body there cursed angrily, and his anger was aroused. He stood there and was shaking, but the maid was holding it in time and did not fall down.
