Chapter 1669: Entering Shanyin County
The carriage walked forward for a while, and the officials in the carriage opened the curtains on the window again, trying to secretly take a look at the army that occupied Xuanda.
His head was exposed through the car window. When he looked at the car, he found that the people who had been before were not following him, but a dozen cavalrymen followed his carriage.
At this time, he saw the leader of the rebel bandit who had spoken to him before, and couldn't help but ask, "Dare you ask Mayor Jia, why didn't the infantrymen go with us just now? Could it be that they are the soldiers stationed nearby?"
"You mean village chief Huo and the others?" Mayor Jia looked back at Village Chief Huo and others who were getting farther and farther away.
The official in the carriage nodded at him.
Mayor Jia said: "Captain Huo and his village are nearby. The fields around them are all the land of their village. Shortly after you came out of Yanmen Pass, you were discovered by the people in the village."
"They are just people in the village? Are those who hold firearms not the soldiers under General Liu?" The officials heard something different from Mayor Jia.
Mayor Jia thought for a while and said, "You are not wrong to say this, it can be regarded as the army of my general."
"Even a village has so many soldiers and horses stationed, it seems that there are quite a few soldiers and horses under General Liu." The official in the car said with a smile.
Mayor Jia nodded with a smile.
He did not explain to the other party what the farmer association was or what militia formed by the farmer association, and was happy that the other party misunderstood.
The group drove along the road towards Shanyin County. Mayor Jia had already sent someone to return to Shanyin County with letters.
When the officials on the carriage saw that the speed of the carriage slowed down, they heard in their ears that there were more pedestrians outside the carriage and the sound became noisy, so they opened the curtains.
He found that his group had arrived outside the county town of Shanyin County and was queuing up to enter the city.
Bored, he looked at the pedestrians around him.
Among the pedestrians, there are mostly hawkers carrying loads or carrying baskets.
These vendors lined up, one by one, taking the yamen runners in front of the city gate to inspect the goods.
Every time the yamen runner checks the goods brought by a hawker, he puts the hawker into the city.
What made the officials in the carriage curious was that these yamen runners did not receive the benefits of entering the city, which was simply impossible in other counties he had seen.
In addition, he found that the soldiers guarding the city gate were also different from the soldiers of the rebel bandits he had seen before.
The soldiers stationed in the village he had seen before were all wearing ordinary linen clothes, with patches connected to each other, which was not much different from the rioters he had seen in the past.
But the soldiers guarding the city in front of me are different.
Everyone was wearing neat and neat armor, everyone was holding a musket in their hands, and there was also a slender sharp knife on the top of the musket.
If the shabby people he had seen before were the soldiers of the rebel bandits, then the soldiers guarding the city in front of him might be the guards beside Liu Zi.
However, even thinking about it seems impossible.
When Liu thieves were in Datong, it was impossible for him to send his guards to such a faraway place in Shanyin County to guard the city gate. Just like the personal soldiers and soldiers of Taiyuan Prefecture, it was impossible for him to do such a low-key job as guarding the city gate.
Soon, the vendor in front was inspected and put into the city. It was his turn to be inspected by the yamen runners in front of the city gate.
When one of the yamen runners lifted the curtain of the carriage, he saw the official wearing an official robe in the carriage and was obviously stunned for a moment, but he soon came to his senses, looked around the carriage, and then lowered the curtain.
The carriage was put into the city.
After entering Shanyin County, the officials and the people he brought were arranged to live in a yard, and no one cared about them anymore. The Mayor Jia, who brought them to the city, did not appear. As for the magistrate of Shanyin County, he had never even exposed his face.
"Master, it's been two days. What do they mean? Could it be that they keep locking us up like this?" The boss came to the officials in the yard.
Since I was taken into this yard, I was not allowed to go out. People would send food alone every day. The biggest range of activities is such a small area in the yard.
The official sitting on the stone pier in the yard glanced at the guards at the entrance of the yard, pursed his lips, and said, "No hurry, I think they sent someone to Datong Town, be patient and wait. I think there should be news in the past half day."
"The young man is to complain to you for the eldest master. After all, you are also an envoy sent by the imperial court to meet Liu Zhe. You have already given him face if you can come to see him." The boss complained.
"Okay, okay, I don't even complain as much as you, why don't you talk so much nonsense? Also, where is this place? Just say Liu Zhe or the right one, Liu Zhe or the right one, you're not going to die."
The official scolded him.
"Look at the little one's mouth, he always doesn't keep the door. He'll talk nonsense when he's anxious." Zhang Yuan gently slapped his right cheek with the palm of his right hand.
The official glanced at him and said, "If you shout like this again, Liu thieves and rioters will lose your life for this, don't blame me for not reminding you."
"Don't worry, Master, the little one remembers to firmly say these words in his heart. If he says it again, no one needs to do anything, the little one cuts his tongue." The boy patted his chest and said assured.
The official nodded.
If he hadn't been afraid that the other party would be plaguing him with nonsense, he would not care about the other party's life or death.
There are many people guarding the yard.
These people are naturally not trying to guard the official in the courtyard.
Since they moved into Shanyin County, they had three meals every day. It was almost noon, and the people who delivered lunch were coming. These people came to the yard just waiting for the lunch meal.
About a quarter of an hour later, the food delivery man carried a basket and walked in from outside the yard gate.
The official sat on the stone pier in the yard without moving.
But the others who were waiting in the yard had already surrounded the people who delivered the meal.
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, everyone has it, line up first." The person who delivered the meal said to the soldiers coming from Taiyuan Prefecture who were surrounding him.
The originally messy soldiers quickly lined up in two long lines.
When the officer, who was standing by the side of the official, saw this scene, the corners of his mouth twitched unnaturally.
In the past, his men snatched food like mad dogs when they saw food. However, after a few meals in this small courtyard in Shanyin County, he knew that he had been queuing up to receive the food.
Of course, he also knows the reason why these people are so honest.
If anyone is punished for a few times, he will become honest and obedient.
The person who delivered the meal was putting the meal aside, but two people who came in came together came towards the stone table in the yard.
The yard is provided by the tiger flag, and others cannot enter at all.
