In the end, there were still twenty military sticks, and they all landed on the honest general's butt.
It's just that regarding this enlightenment, not to mention the straightforward general who was slapped with a military stick, even the other people in the lobby were confused and couldn't figure out the reason at all.
"Why……"
Looking at his group of subordinates who were like lumps of elm wood, Xue Wanche slapped himself hard on the forehead in despair. What evil had he done? With so many subordinates, why couldn't he find a smarter one? Do this again.
Go down, let alone watch those sticks, it’s already good if you don’t make yourself stupid to death!
"No, we can't be fooled to death by these bastards, we must find a smart person to teach them!"
Thinking of this, Xue Wanche finally cheered up! But who is this smart man? Who can convince his subordinates?
"By the way! Isn't that person in Shandong?" Suddenly, a familiar name popped up in Xue Wanche's mind, making him tremble all over, and his frown finally relaxed.
"Come here! I will serve you with pen and ink!"
"Ahem, General, didn't you drop our last inkstone?"
"..."

Shandong, Qingzhou.
As one of the nine ancient states designated by Dayu for flood control, Qingzhou has been one of the most famous cities and towns in the Central Plains Dynasty since ancient times!
However, precisely because of its importance, Qingzhou bore the brunt of the previous rebellions and was completely destroyed by the so-called rebels!
Not only was the city ruined with broken walls and ruins everywhere, but even the ironwood city gate, which was said to be hundreds of years old, was smashed into pieces and lay lying next to the city gate.
So much so that even now, Qingzhou City is still in an undefended state, allowing anyone to come in or out no matter who they are.
On this day, the Qingzhou government received dozens of carts of grain from the imperial court. Overjoyed, they immediately counted the number of people in the city at the Yamen Gate and prepared to distribute the disaster relief grain.
Unexpectedly, just as the people gathered around, a sudden shout from the street broke the quiet crowd in an instant!
"ah……"
"No, the bandits have entered the city!"
"Run quickly!"
Many people who suddenly heard the shouts were stunned at first, and then, the crowd that had gathered together suddenly seemed to explode!
Countless people didn't even care about food. They turned around and ran away, fearing that if they stayed any longer, the bandits would cut off their heads with a knife!
There is no way around it. The name of Heifeng Village has become too loud recently. Their evil reputation in Shandong is enough to make children stop crying!
As a new group of bandits that have recently emerged in Shandong!
No one knows where they come from, and no one knows who their leader is.
Because, unlike the past bandits who occupied the mountain as king and respected the same mountain king, this so-called Black Wind Village does not seem to be composed of just one group of people!
According to various reports, they are active in Jinan, Qingzhou, or even farther away in Jiaozhou!
Moreover, the targets of these people's plunder are also diverse, including ordinary people, rich caravans, and even government officials.
They don't let it go.
Sometimes, when Xiao Han sees news about them, he always gets the illusion that these people are not bandits who make a living by robbing at all, but rather like a group of pests who deliberately harm others!
"Haha, these people are indeed here!"
Just when the crowd was roaring, no one noticed that on the second floor of a teahouse near the government office, a bald man with a sinewy face was sitting near the window, looking at the panicked people below with a sneer.
"Do it?"
Opposite the bald man, a stocky and burly old man also frowned, and his calloused hands subconsciously touched the long knife at his waist!
"Hey, wait a minute!"
Seeing the old man's actions, the third person at the table, who was also the youngest among them, reached out to stop him and said, "When they all come in, let's catch the turtle in the jar again!"
There is no doubt that these three people are Xiao Han, Liu Hongji, and Niu Jinda who came from Jinan Mansion!
Previously, Xiao Han and Liu Hongji stayed in Jinan for a period of time. After assisting Ma Zhou in finalizing the land distribution, they left Jinan and joined Lao Niu who was out suppressing bandits.
After all, Xiao Han still carries the title of a general who suppresses bandits. It would be somewhat unreasonable if he always hides in the city and lets Lao Niu suppress bandits for him.
Why don't you go out and show your face and catch a few blind bandits yourself so that you can give some explanation to Little Plum?
So, three people set up an ambush in Qingzhou City, waiting for the thief to fall into a trap.
"Zhengzhengzheng..."
As Xiao Han finished speaking, messy hoofbeats sounded from the streets!
In the eyes of the three people upstairs, a group of people dressed in various colors and mounted on all kinds of strange things, including war horses, horses, mules, and even thieves riding donkeys, were rushing toward the government office with shouts and screams!
However, this time their target was not Ma Zhou, but the bulging bags of "food" piled next to the government office!
"Be bold!"
The entrance to the government office was already deserted. In the originally crowded open space, there were only a few vegetable leaves dropped by an unknown person, a few messy shoes, and a few lonely piles of sacks.
Oh, I almost forgot, there are several government officials who are hiding behind the government office at this moment, shouting at the bandits outside through a crack in the door, "This is the Qingzhou government office! Who of you dare to attack the government office?"
"
"Hahaha……"
However, the words of the clerk behind the door not only did not make the thief retreat, but instead caused a burst of laughter!
One of the men, who looked like a boss, rode up to the steps, stared down at the clerk in the crack of the door and shouted, "Qingzhou Prefecture? What I'm robbing is the Qingzhou Prefecture. If you're wise, quickly open the door and kneel aside.
Otherwise, I will open your door and arrest you one by one to bleed you!"
"hiss……"
A violent gasping sound came from behind the door, and soon after, the clerk was heard shouting in a voice that lacked confidence, "How dare you! How dare you do this? Aren't you afraid that the whole family will be executed and the nine tribes will be wiped out?"
"Behead everyone?"
Hearing these words, the look on the bandit leader's face changed obviously, but immediately after, he saw his face darken and said in a hateful voice, "You want to destroy my whole family? I'll kill your whole family first!"
After saying that, the bandit leader waved his hand heavily, "Come on, break this broken door open for me!" "Bang, bang, bang..."
In the end, there were still twenty military sticks, and they all landed on the honest general's butt.
It's just that regarding this enlightenment, not to mention the straightforward general who was slapped with a military stick, even the other people in the lobby were confused and couldn't figure out the reason at all.
