Chapter 231: Knocking Mountains and Shocking Tigers
Chapter 231 Knocking on the Mountain and Shocking the Tiger
While Chu Nanzhi and Lin Jinxiao were talking, they suddenly remembered a violent and violent roar outside the carriage:
"A bold maniac who dares to commit murder in the street."
This throat-tearing loud sound is frightening just to hear it.
When Chu Nanzhi heard the sound, she poked her head out and saw Li Ce slashing at the crowd with a big knife. Everything the sword touched was covered in blood.
Li Ce broke out of the crowd, rushed to the carriage first, and shouted excitedly: "Brother, I captured Chen Wu for you, and also uprooted the Dongsang people's hiding place."
Saying this, he couldn't help but frown: "It's these thieves who have hidden a lot of things and a large amount of gold and silver treasures in Qinyuan Village. I'm worried about my brother's safety, so I can only keep some brothers to guard the place there."
Guard and bring Chen Wu back first."
"well-done."
Lin Jinxiao looked out with a look of relief and saw several officers escorting Chen Wu over.
When Chen Wu was escorted to the front, Chu Nanzhi looked at the strong man in front of him from the car window. Thinking of the deaths of several county magistrates and Qi Dongqiang, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. He couldn't understand why this guy liked to rub people.
Neck hobby.
Lin Jinxiao reminded from the side: "I have investigated this person's origins. Before he entered the post house, Chen Wu was killing pigs for others."
"I see."
Chu Nanzhi suddenly realized.
Li Ce looked at the fighting scene in the distance and couldn't help it. He picked up the sword again and said to the two of them: "Brother, sister-in-law, I haven't used my sword for a long time. Let me teach these guys a lesson today."
Mulberry thieves."
"Keep more alive."
As soon as Lin Jinxiao finished speaking, Li Ce rushed into the crowd impatiently and slashed with his knife.
This light and graceful figure made him very envious.
Silently turning back, he looked at Peng Pai, who was looking thoughtful, with a somewhat sad expression, and gestured:
"Peng Dianshi, I have recommended you to the imperial court as the new county magistrate of Haikang County. Now that the Eastern Coastal Defense Zone has just been established, the defenses in the six counties need to be rebuilt. I can only allocate 200 garrison troops dispatched by the imperial court. You need to recruit yourself.
Three hundred recruits, funds are tight right now, so you have to find a way to supply them yourself."
Peng Pai was horrified when he heard this. He never expected that he would value him so highly. Just as he was surprised, Lin Jinxiao looked over again with a meaningful look on his face: "Can I remind you what you need to do?"
"No need."
Peng Pai smiled knowingly and said: "Xiaoguan has a plan. The Dongsang people hiding in Qinyuan Village, plus the property confiscated by Kang Mingyuan and Tan Miao will definitely ensure sufficient military resources and food for recruiting new troops."
"Well, go ahead."
Lin Jinxiao nodded with satisfaction: "Pick some reliable people to go to Qinyuan Village overnight to escort back all the confiscated items."
Peng Pai left in response, bypassing the fighting site and heading straight to the county government office. The Dongsang people were trapped in the middle and had no idea that someone had raided their home.
Looking at Peng Pai's leaving figure, Chu Nanzhi's eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of cunning.
She turned her head and whispered to Lin Jinxiao: "If you want to shake the mountain and scare the tiger, I'm afraid it's not enough to shock the officialdom. The people of Haikang County have been oppressed by the government and gentry for a long time, and the people's customs are strong. If you want the government and the people to be united, you have to do it again."
Do one thing."
"What's the matter?"
Lin Jinxiao looked over expectantly.
Chu Nanzhi replied unhurriedly: "Kang Mingtang is just a wealthy businessman in the county, but he dares to hire the dead soldiers of the nursing home to assassinate the people in charge of the house. This shows that the powerful and evil gentry here are unusual. They have no fear of the government. You yesterday
Although people were sent to confiscate illegal salt and seal up private salt wells, the crackdown was far from enough. A group of lawless tycoons like Kang Mingtang who committed heinous crimes should be seized to serve as a warning to others."
I didn't expect her to be so insightful.
Lin Jinxiao smiled like an uncle: "The people of Haikang County have indeed had a hard time these past few years. I am still thinking about applying for some disaster relief funds from the court to help everyone to avoid causing famine. Your method is very good.
It can win the hearts and minds of the people and warn unscrupulous traders, killing two birds with one stone. In this way, Peng Sanlang can be made an enemy of the powerful and evil gentry in the county."
"He is an enemy of these people of three religions and nine schools, so that he can be of one mind with you and with the people of the whole county."
Chu Nanzhi smiled arrogantly, then looked at him and became serious again: "You have the insight to promote Peng Sanlang from a low-level classics official to a county magistrate. He should accept this job for you."
Submit a petition and work wholeheartedly to benefit the people of the county, so that we can better resist the Dongsang people from invading the country."
Lin Jinxiao nodded slightly in agreement with her enlightening words, and he fell in love with the woman in front of him even more.
It seems that I still underestimated her. I didn't expect that she was not only good at solving cases and investigating cases, but also had unique insights into serving as an official and governing the country. I don't know where she learned these methods. Can the two mentors still do it?
He didn't teach her anything.
His eyes returned to this lovely yet annoying woman, Lin Jinxiao's eyes were full of affection, and just as he was about to reach out to wipe away a few strands of hair hanging from her forehead, the cramping pain in the soles of his feet swept through his body again.
He gritted his teeth and frowned slightly, but Chu Nanzhi on the side noticed something strange on his face.
Seeing his increasingly gloomy expression and the beads of sweat on his forehead, Chu Nanzhi immediately realized that this guy must have had a recurrence of his leg injury. He quickly bent down and examined his wound while asking with concern: "Yes."
Doesn’t it hurt again from the knife wound?”
When Ma Laifu saw this, he was about to get up, but Lin Jinxiao raised his hand to stop him: "I'm fine, don't panic."
His delicate eyebrows flickered slightly, and he clearly saw the anger rising in Chu Nanzhi's eyes, and explained with some apology: "I have to come out today."
"Um."
Chu Nanzhi knew that this guy was not only worried about his own safety, but also wanted to use himself as bait to lure out the Dongsang people.
Otherwise, these hidden forces will always be hiding in the dark, which is a huge hidden danger.
I'm afraid that Lin's family has this hereditary disease, and his father worked hard to do his job, but when his son's leg was still injured, he stepped in and took over as a replacement.
She didn't have the heart to blame him anymore, so she quietly looked at the red area near his stab wound, and gently rubbed it for him. The wound at the incision didn't crack again. She must have been overworked, and she had just walked all the way from the county government office.
Muscle spasms caused by bumps and strenuous exercise.
Lin Jinxiao gritted his teeth and held on to her arm, whispering in her ear: "How is the situation outside?"
Chu Nanzhi opened the curtain and looked out, only to see that the sound of fighting everywhere had stopped. Li Ce was carrying a big knife in one hand and the leader of the Dongsang people who had just spoken in the other hand, striding over in an imposing manner.
Seeing this, Lin Jinxiao stood up calmly and walked out calmly.
Chu Nanzhi followed him worriedly, and this time she took the initiative to hold his hand firmly. She was really worried that the pretty boy would stumble and fall.
But at this juncture, even if you are pretending, you have to keep pretending, and you must not show your weakness to your opponent.
Lin Jinxiao knew what was going on and didn't want to worry her too much anymore. He stared at the Dongsang leader who looked unconvinced, then looked at Tan Miao who was huddled in the corner with a face full of fear, and finally looked around the audience majestically with a calm look.
He simply said: "Take them all."
Silence is better than sound.
The four striking words and the calm look in his eyes suddenly showed the aura of a king who is not angry and has authority, which frightened the enemy and boosted the morale at the same time.
