Wang Mengcai felt that his recent life was more thrilling than the previous decades combined!
Either he would fight the Goguryeo pirates with his sword, or he would risk his life and property and send Xiao Han abroad to rob.
It was hard to wait until Xiao Han won a complete victory and returned home with a full load.
He thought that this time he could finally calm down, and he no longer had to worry about it all day long.
But who would have thought, just this evening! The men of the Sanyuan County Marquis suddenly ran to the county government office and told him in a hurry: Goguryeo on the opposite side had prepared dozens of ships and was ready to come to avenge them! Let him prepare quickly!
"Get ready? Prepare what? Prepare a coffin?"
Poor Wang Mengcai happened to be finishing his meal when he heard the news! He drank a mouthful of soup and almost choked himself to death!
Oh my God!
He is just a little seventh-grade sesame official!
I have lived a stable life for half my life, and I don’t want to make any progress. I just want to work steadily until the day I return to my hometown!
But now it seems like, why doesn't God let him fulfill even such a small wish?
Heaven and earth, Wang Mengcai thinks he is not a corrupt official! Even when he eats, he only has one dish and one soup. How come he is tortured like this?
"Hello? Hello? Sir?"
Wang Mengcai was holding the dining table, his whole body was shaky! Seeing Xiaodong who was delivering a letter next to him, he couldn't help but asked curiously: "What's wrong with you?"
"I……"
Wang Mengcai's mouth trembled!
What can happen to him? Isn’t he frightened by you bastards and bastards? He is easily invaded by other countries, and his head is tucked into his belt at every turn! Look at the entire Tang Dynasty, there is that county magistrate who is living his life day by day.
Like a firecracker?
However, even though he had greeted Xiao Han and the plague gods ten thousand times in his heart! How could Wang Mengcai dare to say it out loud?
He could only take a deep breath, and then said slowly: "I'm fine! What did you just say? Goguryeo has prepared dozens of ships to come over? How did you know?"
"We were looking at the clouds in the sky and saw it accidentally!"
Xiaodong's words came to his lips and he was about to blurt them out! But at this critical moment, he still forcefully swallowed them!
Because Xiaodong suddenly thought: If he said that, Wang Mengcai would definitely treat him as a brain disease patient. He couldn't help but ask the doctor to give him a few injections...
"Hehe, hehe, the secret must not be leaked!" There was no way, Xiaodong, who was holding it back so hard, could only use Li Rong's words to deceive the matter first.
Fortunately, Wang Mengcai did not dwell too much on this matter.
If someone at the highest official level crushes someone to death, so be it! Beat those who are stubborn to death, and starve to death those who talk back. He still understands this principle.
"I wonder how the Marquis wants us to prepare. Should we organize the people to resist foreign enemies, or strengthen the walls and clear the country? Move people into the city again?" Taking a deep breath, Wang Mengcai organized his words and asked again.
In fact, he was already prepared in his heart. If he wanted to make the people strong, there would be more than one or two hundred people. Do you want it?
As for clearing the country and moving into the city, that's no problem. Anyway, he has suffered disasters here several times. One more disaster is nothing. At most, he just needs to be scolded a few more times!
Besides, compared with their small lives, the common people can still handle their meager assets at home, which is more important.
"No need to prepare those things, our Lord Marquis said..."
Xiaodong rubbed his head and tried to recall Xiao Han's instructions before leaving, and then said: "By the way, I want you to prepare ropes, whips, and Minzhuang! It's best to cook some porridge, don't use too much
Okay, just a little better than pig food!"
"What?" Wang Mengcai, who was just about to take a drink of water to calm down his shock when he heard that Xiao Han wanted to prepare these things, almost sprayed Xiaodong in the face!
Fortunately, at the critical moment, he tilted his head and squirted all the water onto the ground. However, even so, it choked him so much that he burst into tears!
"Ahem, rope? Whip? Strong man! Ahem..."
Patting his chest hard, Wang Mengcai stared at Xiaodong like a monster. He wanted to ask: At this time, people are about to attack, is your Marquis still having such fun?
And having said that, why do you still need to cook porridge?
Is it possible that after exercising, you need to drink some porridge to replenish your strength? Then why are you told not to use the good ones? They also said that it is better than pig food. It’s your Marquis, what’s your special hobby?
"Yes! That's it!"
Xiaodong, who was still recalling Xiao Han's explanation, didn't notice anything strange about Magistrate Wang. He was still twirling his fingers and saying to himself: "Also, wait for some people with good water skills nearby to get some wooden boards!
The Marquis said he would be useful then!"
"People who are good at water? Wooden boards?"
These two types sound quite normal and are not difficult to make!
However, with the whip and candle in front of him, Wang Mengcai couldn't help but think wrongly!
"Ahem, these things are not difficult to get, but I wonder what the Marquis is planning to do if he wants these things?"
Gathering up the courage, Wang Mengcai inquired cautiously, there was nothing he could do, this was too curious! Not to mention that he couldn't help but want to find out something, even if it were another person, he would probably be so curious that he couldn't sleep!
"What are you going to do?" Xiaodong glanced at Wang Mengcai, as if he disliked his ignorance, and said, "Of course I'm going to capture prisoners! Otherwise, why do we need so many ropes? We still have whips, so we have to drive the donkeys.
The kind that drives cattle! When the prisoners are captured and they don’t obey, beat them to death!"
When Wang Mengcai heard this, he was dumbfounded and couldn't help but said: "Ah? The rope and whip are used to capture prisoners?"
When Xiaodong heard this, he gave him a strange look: "Otherwise, what do you think you do?"
"I thought..." Wang Mengcai felt ashamed and could only quickly excuse himself: "I thought it was pretty much the same! I just didn't know that preparing wooden boards and people with good water properties meant..."
"Oh, they are preparing to rescue the prisoners who fell into the water!" Xiaodong said triumphantly: "The Marquis said that it would be too wasteful to let them drown in vain, so it is better to let them work! Anyway, these sticks have been used before
The people who oppressed us to do their jobs can now be treated as if we were treating them the same way!"
"It seems to be the same truth!" Wang Mengcai nodded, but soon frowned and said: "No! Didn't you say that there are dozens of ships this time! Even if there are hundreds of people on a ship, this is
There are thousands of people. How can we beat these thousands of people? Are you still thinking about taking prisoners? Are you not afraid that we will be caught?"
