Chapter 17 Appreciation of the Great

 "Hey, an ant who is not even a warrior really thinks of himself as a character."

Staring at Xu Chong's back, Zhou Ze mocked disdainfully.

"Let's get down to business, you know clearly that the rebel thief has the Meridian Channel state, why do you still push it to Xu Chong?"

Wu Wenjing looked solemn and said: "Fu Yuanlong is not that easy to fool. If we are charged with colluding with rebels..."

The blood-clothed guard is extremely powerful, and he is also at the seventh level. Fu Yuanlong can easily control him.

A simple frame-up could lead to several deaths, how could he not be worried?

"Your Excellency, you are overthinking. Then Fu Yuanlong deceived us."

Zhou Ze waved his hand and said with a relaxed expression: "The dignified General Banner of the Blood-clad Guards, why did you leave the warrior No. 50 under your command and pursue the enemy thousands of miles alone? You didn't even go to the garrison to borrow troops, but asked our county government to help?"

"You mean...he has an ulterior secret?"

Wu Wenjing raised his eyebrows.

"It must be so."

Zhou Ze was confident, "So whether we catch the traitor or not, he won't make the matter a big deal, and we don't have to worry at all."

"It makes sense."

Wu Wen nodded and said, "But if his plan fails, there's no guarantee that he won't take his anger out on us, right?"

"That's why I suggested that Xu Chong do it."

Zhou Ze raised the corners of his mouth, "If Xu Chong can't calm down the general banner master, what about Xu Youan's black money?"

"What black money?"

Xu Chong's voice suddenly sounded at the door, causing Wu Zhou to tremble violently.

"..."

Zhou Ze scolded his mother in his heart and said angrily: "You heard wrong, the county magistrate and I were discussing how to arrest him."

"Yes, we are discussing this."

Wu Wenjing nodded quickly and asked: "Xu Dianshi comes back again and again, isn't it just to listen to the corner?"

"Why do adults need to judge others by themselves?"

Xu Chong said harshly and cupped his hands with a sullen face: "The official just thought of how to catch the rebels and come back to borrow someone from the master."

"Borrowing someone?"

Wu Wenjing was stunned: "There are more than 100 people in the third foreign class, isn't that enough for you to drive?"

"It's just ordinary matters. This time it's about rebels, and there's no room for officials to be careless."

After Xu Chong finished speaking, he paused and spread his hands, as if he was a dead pig not afraid of being scalded by boiling water: "Of course, if you don't want to borrow it, let it go. I'll ask someone else to handle this matter."

"You..."

Wu Wenjing's face turned cold, and just as he was about to scold him, Zhou Ze spoke first.

"What Mr. Xu said is true, and we should support it."

Zhou Ze said and gave Wu Wenjing a look.

"...Forget it, there are thirty-seven people in the inner team, you can call them all."

Wu Wenjing pondered for a moment and nodded.

"In addition, I also need the keys to the Yellow Book and the Military Armory."

Xu Chong said again.

This time Wu Wenjing did not refuse in a hurry, but looked at Zhou Ze.

"Hmm... The Yellow Book is fine. Why do you want the key to the Bingjiaku?"

Zhou Ze asked.

The yellow book is a population directory, which records information such as hometown, name, age, population, assets, etc. What is left in the county government is only a copy, which is not important.

But Hyojiaku is different.

"Heh."

Xu Chong sneered and said mockingly: "The two adults are sitting in the county government without having to fight to the death, but the official and those men are going to charge into the battle, so it is not too much to prepare some life-saving means, right?"

Wu Wenjing and Zhou Ze looked at each other and smiled at the same time.

"Your Excellency, you are thoughtful and considerate, but I am not as good as I am, so I will give you a warrant."

………

A total of more than 200 people from two groups of internal and external yamen gathered at the gate of the county yamen, and the crowd was crowded.

Different from the past, these 200 people all put on armor - a kind of armor mainly made of cloth, with only iron plates on the chest, back and torso.

In addition, everyone is equipped with swords and shields, and there are even thirty powerful crossbows.

This was barely scraped together after emptying out the entire armory.

Unfortunately, there are no firearms.

Xu Chong sighed with regret, cleared his throat and started mobilizing.

"With such a large formation, you must be very confused and frightened."

"I can only tell you that this is not a war, it is just a search for a vicious fugitive."

"There is only one thing you need to do, obey my orders!"

"Since I have opened the warehouse and armed you to this extent, I naturally hope that everyone is safe. No, it is best that no one is injured."

"But the ugly talk is ahead. If anyone dares to cheat at this time, don't blame me for falling out."

The tone, expression, and the majesty brought by Zhengyang Jin made these three hundred people have no idea of ​​​​refuting, and just listened quietly.

Only Liu Er gritted his teeth, took a step, turned around and faced everyone, and said loudly: "Do you remember the three Xie Mazi?"

"I won't mention some things because I'm not clean myself."

"But you may not know that it is because of my lord, Xie Mazi and the others that they are buried in the ground and have their names on the monument."

"I don't know if you are afraid of death following such an adult, but I, Liu Er, am not afraid!"

The personal statements of colleagues are far more credible than the intimidation and inducement of Shangguan.

Liu Er's words made everyone present moved and their eyes became firmer.

"My lord!"

Liu Er turned around and hugged Xu Chongyi: "Please give the order!"

"Okay!"

Xu Chong glanced at Liu Er appreciatively and said, "I want you to summon your white servants and divide them into three groups..."

The so-called white servants are people who take the initiative to help the yamen without receiving a salary from the court. They are usually just making ends meet, or people who need the yamen's care for their family's livelihood.

A well-established government official usually has two or three white servants working under him.

According to Xu Chong's estimate, the two hundred government officials plus the white servants would make a total of more than 600 people, which is barely enough.

"Liu Er, you take one hundred brothers and two hundred white soldiers to the city wall, one person every sixty steps, and divide into three groups to stand guard. Bring whistles and blow the whistle at any time to warn."

"Zhao Liu, you take fifty brothers and fifty white servants, and they are also divided into three groups to patrol the streets day and night, and they also bring whistles."

"The remaining people follow me."

"I will personally lead the search team!"

Xu Chong's orders were issued one by one, and those who were called immediately came out of the queue and hurried away with them.

Xu Chong didn't forget to add a sentence at the end.

"Remember, take care of the people under your command. If you dare to maliciously disturb the people at an emergency and make the arrest more difficult, don't blame me for using severe punishment!"

Not far away, a line of sight is watching here silently.

"Methodical and thoughtful, he is a talented person."

Fu Yuanlong showed a hint of appreciation in his eyes, and then shook his head: "It's a pity that if you don't know martial arts, you will never be able to get on the stage."

Originally, he was thinking of checking for omissions, but he was surprised that Xu Chong couldn't find anything wrong with his arrangement.

As for those weapons and armor, he didn't take them seriously at all.

To Tongmai Realm, these standard rubbish are no different than paper.

Unless they can be found when the opponent is unconscious.

But is this possible?

Fu Yuanlong thinks it is unlikely.
