Liu Dutou did not open the door for Yun Zheng. He slid down from the wall with a rope. He knew what he meant and knew the rules of these big house doors. Liu Dutou believed in Yun Zheng, but it did not mean that others also believed in it, especially after Yun Zheng's death.
There were more than thirty big men with ferocious faces standing there, which made people even more untrustworthy. Their wealth and life depended on this door. Not opening it easily was also a sign of maturity and prudentness.
"What do you mean? Five hundred guan, I can't get it out even if I lose everything." Liu Dutou immediately muttered to Yun Zheng in a low voice as soon as he got off the wall.
"The mob looted Dousha Pass. Old Liu, as a head catcher, has the bounden duty to arrest the bandits. Once the Yongxing army arrives at Dousha Pass, do you think you can escape the charge of dereliction of duty?" Yun Zheng looked at Liu Du with disdain.
At first glance, he answered quietly.
"I thought the mob would leave after just a small threat. Who knows that they started to massacre the city, but even if they hit me with a slap on the ass, they can't hit me on the ass. The security of Doucha County has been taken over by Han De, and Doucha is closed."
Defense is under the jurisdiction of Vice General Zhang, and there are also County Magistrate Lin and Chief Secretary Xiao. What do they have to do with their big heads?"
Seeing that Liu Du had taken the first three or two strokes, Yun Zheng smiled strangely and planned to leave. Since ancient times, good fortune has been hard to part with. It is not surprising that this idiot has such an idea.
Yun Zheng's smile made the hairs on Liu Dutou's body stand up. Now he didn't dare to underestimate the young man in front of him. His shrewdness and accurate judgment had long since convinced Liu Dutou.
He thought it was a big joke that Yun Zheng said the roll call at Donghua Gate. Now he really thinks that the commoner boy in front of him can really do the roll call at Donghua Gate. At least in Liu Dutou's eyes, Yun Zheng definitely has it.
qualifications.
"Brother Yun, don't leave. Help me and say, what's going on? Your smile just now made my brother and I feel chills stand up. Considering our past friendship, you can't just leave."
Of."
Yun Zheng thought for a while and then turned back to look at Liu Du and said, "Don't you know that a disaster is coming? The few big guys you just mentioned who can help you fight against the charges are almost all dead. County Magistrate Lin is dead."
It was hung at the gate of the county government office. I didn’t see Deputy General Zhang when I entered the door. He must have been hiding. Since his surname is Zhang, it means that he is a miscellaneous deputy general and not a member of the general family. How is a civil servant
You know how to deal with military generals, right? Magistrate Lin is dead, and this is something to be commended. A major disaster can’t just involve wimps, there are always some bright spots. For example, Magistrate Lin can be in the "Biography of Loyalty", and civil servants can do it
I'm good at this.
The chief catcher of Chengdu Prefecture, Han De, died, his head had been chopped to pieces with a knife. In any case, he died in a fierce battle. If not, how could the prefect of Chengdu Prefecture have any dignity?
Now let’s put things in perspective. County Magistrate Lin is commended, Deputy General Zhang is destined to be beheaded, General Han needs to be compensated for his arrest, and Doucha County needs someone to take over the overall situation. Do you think you or Master Xiao are more suitable? "
Yun Zheng bared his white teeth and asked Liu Dou with a cold smile.
Liu Du's head was covered with sweat from Yun Zheng's words. The sweat dripped down his chin in the humid weather. He said word by word with a vibrato: "Master Xiao must be the right one."
Yun Zheng patted Liu Du on the shoulder and said, "Assuming that you are self-aware, the army can use Vice General Zhang's head as a commission. Doesn't the local government need to give an explanation to the court? In addition to your head, what else can be used?"
To quell public anger?
Let me tell you, the mobs outside the city are raging at Doushaguan now. When the people alive in the city can't stand the shock of the death of their family members, they will soon become a mob. You all don't know the horror of the uprising.
*** Use it for nothing. When the people in the city wake up, you will die without a burial place.
I'm so fucking aggrieved that such a smart man like me has received countless benefits from you. I could just hide in Dousha Village with my job and watch the show, but all of you are fucking dead, Shan
I might be able to pick up the people's business and redo it. It is because I owe you a favor that I took the strong men in the village to make some arrangements before the Yongxing army arrived, so as to save your life. "
Liu Dutou is also a figure in the old officialdom. When he heard what Yun Zheng said, he understood that this was the standard procedure for the government to deal with the aftermath. If County Magistrate Lin and Han De were both dead, then he would not be able to escape no matter what.
The fate of being stabbed.
"Help brother, you can take what you have at home, but I can't get out 500 guan even if I kill my brother." Liu Dutou was almost begging Yun Zheng, 500 guan is a big number.
It was definitely not something that a local official like him, who had just made a little fortune, could come up with.
Yun Zheng pulled his hair twice, covered his face and said to Liu Dutou in pain: "What kind of evil have I done to owe you this favor? I don't know if you have five hundred strings."
?I will ask you for it even though I know you don’t have it?
Even if you reluctantly come up with 500 guan, your sister-in-law and children won't eat? Do you think I will ask you to pay for these 500 guan? "
Liu Dutou said with a sad face: "At this time, there is no talk of eating without eating. The guys who eat are all gone. Brother Yun, if you have an idea, just say it. Brother, I will do it. As long as I can keep my head, I will do anything."
OK."
Yun Zheng took his hand away from his face and said naively: "If I just wanted to save your life, would I enter Douchuan Pass with such a big fanfare? I want to turn a fool like you into a hero in Douchuan Pass, so that when I come to the city
People at least know that there is an official who is willing to fight to the death for them, so that public resentment will disappear.
As for the five hundred guan, what do you think about it being paid by merchants who are unwilling to let the Yongxing army enter the city?"
"Yes, as long as the Yongxing Army enters the city, the most unlucky ones are actually these merchants. They can gain a foothold in Douchuan, and they have made a rural customs agreement that thieves will be attacked when they come. As long as the Yongxing Army can be prevented from entering the city, a thousand
They are also willing to come out. But how do you make me a hero? I killed two thugs who climbed up the wall of my house." Liu Dutou was a little embarrassed and looked around like he was a thief.
It's good to have a sense of shame. If there is an official in Doushaguan who is more popular, it must be Liu Dutou.
I set up a battlefield in Naitou Mountain. To put it bluntly, it's very simple. I just put the bodies of the dead mobs on the hillside and pretend to be attacking the city. You can kill the remaining mobs who are not dead on the hillside.
They, in this way, a perfect battlefield appeared. In other words, when the mob attacked the city, you were defending Naitou Mountain, and defeated the mob's attacks many times, killing many mobs, and looking for opportunities to launch an attack.
You launched a counterattack and recaptured Douchuan Pass in one go. Is this achievement enough to make you a hero?
The local officials have put down the riot, so what reason does the Yongxing Army have to enter the city? Those merchants will help you speak, and those inextricable connections will definitely be used."
