205: Xiaocheng chaos (forty-five) [asking for monthly votes]
When the servants came back to report, Wu Yuan secretly thought that "there is a tacit understanding", these people took the initiative to come to the door and saved him a lot of trouble. Unexpectedly, when he met the people, he realized that each of them was either crying or unhappy, as if they were covered with ancestral graves.
The appearance of a person who has been wiped clean.
Wu Yuan's heart skipped a beat when he saw this. He couldn't help but mutter in his mind what kind of medicine these people were selling, and he had prepared himself mentally in advance. He was about to say a few words of greeting, and by the way, slap these people not to come and touch him at this time.
of mold.
Before the manuscript even started, one of them was already aggrieved with tears in his eyes. He came forward to express his grievances and hoped that the county government could lend them someone.
Wu Yuan still didn't know what happened.
He only heard the word "borrower".
He said, "Borrow someone? You all know the current situation. The rebels are watching outside the city. We have reached the predicament of having a sword hanging on our necks. The troops in the city dare not slack off for a moment. Borrow someone... I must not be willing to do so. It is really necessary."
There is no shortage of manpower..."
The best way to deal with this kind of "borrower" is to "repay him in kind". Wu Yuan changed his troubled expression and sighed: "It's embarrassing to say that I was still thinking about it last night
, do you want to be shameless and borrow your private department from your family..."
As he said this, he rolled his eyes in his heart.
The fool thought with his toes and knew that the elite private troops of these family gentry had already escorted the master's family out of Xiaocheng, leaving only crooked melons and cracked dates. When sent to the battlefield, the damage was better than scraping, and they purely provided warmth to the enemy.
Give away a human head and give military glory.
Wu Yuan never counted on these people.
As soon as he said this, everyone who came to the door looked at each other.
At this time, one of them stood up covering his bruised eyes. Wu Yuan took a closer look and almost lost control of his expression and laughed out loud. However, he has been very good at managing his expressions for many years, so he held it back and showed a bit of "coming from the heart"
Concerned, I stepped forward to ask him.
"What-what's wrong with you?"
Half of his sleeves were burned to ashes, most of his goatee was gone, and there was a big bruise on the orbit of his right eye. If you look closely, you will find that the bridge of his nose is more skewed than before, and the root of his nose is slightly green, which makes
How pitiful and pitiful.
Wu Yuan was shocked in his heart - you must know that this is Xiaocheng, and these family gentry who are rooted here are the local snakes! Even if the rebels come to the city, no one will open their eyes to provoke them. What happened to them, how could it be like this?
Embarrassed?
The middle-aged man in question wiped away his tears with a half-burned sleeve and cried out what had happened - at midnight last night, a group of mobs took advantage of their weak defense and rushed into their tribe's land to plunder and plunder, injuring dozens of servants.
Guard, and then walk away!
Wu Yuan said in horror: "Mob?"
The middle-aged man replied: "Yes, they are all mobs."
Wu Yuan looked at the others again: "What about you?"
Others: "Same thing."
"almost."
Wu Yuan then asked: "So - you come to report to the official?"
The middle-aged man put away his crying expression, wiped the remaining tears from the corners of his eyes, and twirled his half-scorched beard: "That's right. We also know the difficulties the county government is facing, but the losses this time are huge. If we can't catch that gang,"
Mob, how can we have the face to stay in Xiaocheng and Sibao County in the future! Please give us justice, and we must let the lawbreakers be punished!"
The corner of Wu Yuan's mouth twitched, and he secretly said, "How can you old guys have such a face?" No matter how disgusted he was in his heart, he still couldn't show it on the surface. He said, "Listen to me, gentlemen, it's not right or wrong.
Ken, it’s really because…”
He still wanted to use the lack of manpower as an excuse.
Where can they help them solve crimes and catch thieves at this time?
They also said they were a group of thugs and successfully robbed their property. To be able to do this, there must be many people involved. There should also be brave warriors who are not weak in strength. How can he catch them?
The middle-aged man took a deep breath.
Asked Wu Yuan: "So you don't agree?"
Wu Yuan raised his eyebrows: "What are you talking about? What do you mean by refusal? The relationship between you and me is like lips and teeth, lips are dead and teeth are cold! But I am really powerless. I can't allocate the soldiers on the city wall who are dealing with the enemy to deal with this matter.
Bar?"
The middle-aged man snorted coldly.
Asked Wu Yuan: "Do you know what was robbed?"
The more Wu Yuan listened, the more he felt that there was something in this person's words, and he felt a little bit angry. Although he seemed to be easy to talk to, it didn't mean that these people could really get into trouble. So, he responded a little more forcefully and asked: "Don't you guys?
Say, how do I know that?"
The middle-aged man stared at Wu Yuan's face for a moment, refusing to miss any strange expression, and said with a strange look, "It's food!"
Wu Yuan's voice suddenly rose: "Food?"
How could it be such a coincidence?
He was determined to "borrow food", but their food was intercepted by the "mob". Wu Yuan couldn't help but glance at everyone with suspicious eyes, secretly worried that they had placed eyes and ears around him, and these eyes and ears were still
Someone he trusts quite a lot.
The people in front of him didn't want to "borrow", so they staged a drama of "mobs intercepting food" and even ran to him to cry.
Wu Yuanxin's face turned green and pale.
He has begun to worry that his identity will be exposed.
If so——
He lowered his eyelids calmly, suppressing the killing intent in his eyes.
I'm afraid I can't keep this person in front of me!
The middle-aged man was not aware of his dangerous situation. His fingers were trembling with anger, his back teeth were grinding loudly, and he said in a strange way: "Yes. Not only my family, but also every granary present was attacked by the 'mob'! This is unavoidable"
What a coincidence! How could a group of 'mobs' know the location of each family's granary? How could they move so quickly without unified command and dispatch?"
This visit was not only to recover losses from the "borrower", but also to test the situation. After all, the county government, which was extremely short of food, was also highly suspected.
Wu Yuanyin had a sullen face.
For the first time in my life, I was suspected of being a thief.
"You guys, say what you want to say, don't beat around the bush! If you say something that doesn't sit well with you, what does the life and death of Xiaocheng have to do with me? It doesn't matter if the rebels surrender as soon as the city gate is opened, but it is related to your personal fortune and the life of the whole family!
On the county side, even if there is a shortage of food and people, it will not bother you, right? You guys are indiscriminate and framed by rogues, which is really chilling!"
Although Wu Yuan is still young, he is a bit timid when he gets angry, and his attitude is even more open and aboveboard.
For a moment everyone looked at each other and couldn't make up their minds.
They didn't dare to really anger Wu Yuan. If they really pissed people off, they wouldn't even say anything about Kaicheng surrender, so they really had no place to cry.
The middle-aged man spoke politely to comfort him.
"Wu Lang, please calm down. That's not what I meant. It's because the loss was too great that I lost my composure... Please forgive me."
After saying that, he bowed his head to the end.
Wu Yuan could only reluctantly soften his expression and walked down the steps.
The two sides cannot quarrel yet.
So, everyone takes a step back.
Wu Yuan wrote a few bad checks and promised to send someone to keep an eye on the whereabouts of the "mob" and inform him as soon as there was news - after all, there was such a "mob" who could rob various granaries and walk away.
"Wu Yuan is not worried about the power.
Is this different from an enemy sleeping on a hanging beam in a bedroom?
How old do you have to be to fall asleep?
After finally getting rid of these people, Wu Yuan became angrier the more he thought about it.
Wu Yuan received everyone, and Gu Chi was also listening in the back hall, which was only separated by a screen. As soon as they left, he walked out of the back hall, his brows still furrowed tightly, making his already gloomy and weak face look even more gloomy.
.His ideas are partially consistent with Wu Yuan.
These family gentlemen came prepared!
Wu Yuan looked in the direction of the door with a gloomy face, put down the tea cup with a snap, and asked: "Mr. Gu, what do you think of this matter?"
Gu Chi said: "The timing is too coincidental."
Wu Yuan asked again: "Mr. Gu also suspects that there is a mole?"
Gu Chi was about to answer "yes",
At this time, the voice belonging to Gong Cheng was approaching - although his voice did not have a logical and complete expression, judging from the fleeting short sentences, Gong Cheng was in a very good mood at this time - ten sentences, five sentences of praise
My brother-in-law is so brave, wise, smart and decisive. The remaining five sentences are all about praising my uncle for being a strong warrior, how powerful he is, and how he is so much like his second uncle!
Gu Chi was speechless.
After spending so much time with Gong Cheng, it was rare to hear the increasingly silent former favorite praise someone from the bottom of his heart. Even towards Wu Yuan, Gong Cheng's voice was mostly gratitude, or guilt that he was a burden to Wu Yuan.
Yuan.
Such generous praise?
Wu Yuan has not received this kind of treatment yet.
Thinking of this, he looked at Wu Yuan with a hint of pity and sympathy in his eyes - he didn't know what Wu Yuan would think if he knew?
The only person Gu Chi heard was Gong Cheng, but there were five people who came in after Tong Bing. The other four were Shen Tang, Chu Yao, Qishan and Gong Shuwu. When Gu Chi saw this, he sneered inwardly. He curled his lips, very unhappy that he was targeted in this way.
Stingy, not even listening to your thoughts.
As soon as Gong Cheng came in, he said: "Wengzhi, what good news!"
Wu Yuan's expression softened when he came in.
He picked up the tea and asked, "Where does happiness come from?"
He struggled all night before making a decision, but he was stillborn and was framed by a group of people who formed a vicious group of people to frame him.
The bad luck is all bad.
Gong Cheng smiled and said, "Weng Zhi, why don't you take a guess?"
Wu Yuandao: "The rebels outside the city were killed by a thief star descending from the sky?"
Gong Cheng shook his head: "How is this possible?"
If another thief star comes to the world, it can still destroy tens of thousands of people. Considering the distance between the rebel camp and Xiaocheng, how can Xiaocheng be peaceful? Gong Cheng immediately stopped trying to keep quiet and happily revealed the answer: "The garrison guarding the city The food and grass supplies have been taken care of!"
After that, he smiled and sat down and poured himself a glass of water.
Before his tea could reach his mouth, Wu Yuan spat out a mouthful of tea, choking and coughing. The latter seemed to have thought of something, Huo Di stood up from where he was, looked at Gong Cheng in horror, and asked: "What did you say? forage???"
Good guy——
The family gentry was robbed of the granary by the "mob", and the food problem of the garrison in the city was solved. Even a fool could figure out that there was some connection between the two. What's more, Wu Yuan thought of a possibility and asked: "What happened last night?" 'mob'……"
Gong Cheng: "Don't worry, Weng Zhi, your hands and feet are very clean."
There was a buzzing sound in Wu Yuan's head.
This matter was actually done by Gong Cheng?
In this way, the group of people in the morning did not accuse him unjustly.
wrong--
There was no joy on Wu Yuan's face, but instead there was a hint of gloominess - Gong Cheng acted without his consent at all, and he did it without even informing him? This realization made Wu Yuan feel a little bit unhappy in his heart. Like a lump in the throat.
Even Gong Cheng is not good at making opinions.
Gu Chi was speechless and choked at first, then turned his eyes to Shen Tang, who had been sitting obediently without saying a word—Shen Lang!
He knows much more inside information than Wu Yuan.
Apart from other things, I can only say that Gong Cheng's education would have prevented him from doing such a deviant, deviant and shameless thing.
This is so shameless!
But Shen Tang is different.
Shen Lang acted out of the blue and was always unexpected. He also had Chu Wuhui by his side, a schemer like Qi Yuanliang who indulged (helped) tolerated (Zhou) but could not (act) restrain (abuse), and a powerful warrior like Gong Shuwu, who had no strength of his own. Common... Haha, the case has been solved.
Before Wu Yuan could ask, Gu Chi brought the topic to Shen Tang and asked with a smile: "Is this Mr. Shen's masterpiece?"
Shen Tang asked back: "So what?"
With Gu Chi's reminder, Wu Yuan suddenly understood.
He stood up, bowed his head solemnly to the end, and said sincerely: "Wu is here to thank the tens of thousands of people in Xiaocheng for their heroic deeds."
Shen Tang: "Thank you for what? I'm just 'borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha'."
Anyway, what was taken out was other people’s food.
To put it plainly, it’s like – those who eat thieves don’t feel bad.
Wu Yuandao: "A strong man is righteous."
After some business exchanges, everyone took their seats.
Wu Yuan looked curious and said bluntly: "There is one more thing that I don't know about Wu. How did you intercept the granary?"
In fact, he wanted to ask Shen Tang how a few people avoided his hands and committed such a big case! He didn't know about such a big thing happening in the territory he controlled. It was really a slap in the face, and it also made him feel uncomfortable. Wu Yuansheng was in a bit of a crisis.
If Shen Tang's target was not the granary but him, wouldn't he have died in a daze?
This is what Wu Yuan is most taboo about.
But Shen Tang couldn't hear the underlying sound.
In other words, Shen Tang subconsciously did not place Wu Yuan as an equal opponent, so he naturally did not think about how to kill him.
Shen Tang took a sip of tea to moisten his throat - he stayed up all night again last night and was feeling a little angry now.
"It's not because we are stronger." She paused and said with disdain, "It's obvious that they are too weak and undefended, with almost no decent defense and counterattack. At first, I thought it was a scam."
Wu Yuan asked again: "The person pretending to be a 'mob'..."
If Gong Cheng goes beyond him and mobilizes people to do things on his own without informing him, he should carefully consider whether Gong Cheng can still use this card - who can use this kind of subordinate with confidence?
Shen Tang replied: "It's not disguised."
"no?"
Shen Tang: “They are the ‘mob’.”
To be precise, it was the thugs that Shen Tang bought in exchange for ten kilograms of grain.
The lower-class slums of Xiaocheng are full of cheap labor, and everyone is so hungry that they risk their lives just for a bite to eat.
For them, whose rice vat has bottomed out and even rats don’t visit, ten kilograms of grain is really a windfall!
It's worth taking a little risk.
They are responsible for confusing the enemy's sight, but what really matters is the manpower arranged by one's own side - it must be said that high-level brave warriors are really good, and one person can be used as a leader for hundreds of people.
Shen Tang also began to look forward to his courage.
Bring hundreds of boys with you when you go out!
It’s cool and grand!

Ah, the second day after the cat came to the house.
I took him out in the afternoon and had my nails trimmed. The cat was too sharp and my hands were scratched yesterday. Although it was vaccinated and it was a domestic cat, I still wanted to be on the safe side. I went to get the rabies vaccine in the afternoon (I have to complain, in the past, the rabies vaccine seemed to be two One injection is more than 100, and now four or five injections are given in one course of treatment, which costs a total of 600 to 700.)
Today I got to know my home a little better and started to feel more lively.
Wow, I am really happy to have a cat.
Although it still refused to let me touch it, when I was typing at night, it would sit on the hollow cabinet at its feet, looking at me eagerly, and stayed there for more than four hours.
