Li Minglou then started the story with the suppression of bandits on the mountain.
The accompanying doctor woke up the chief clerk and listened to Mrs. Wu telling a story. The story was very simple. Mrs. Wu and her group encountered villagers who were robbed by bandits. They saw injustice on the road and drew their swords to help. When they went up the mountain to suppress the bandits, they saw that they were also officers and soldiers.
The true identity of the bandit was revealed.
"Some of the things that happened after that were known to the Registrar, and some were unknown." Li Minglou said, "The Registrar knew that we were detained when we came to the County Yamen, and the reason why we came to the County Yamen was because Dewey wanted to
To silence us, I had to reveal my identity to make him have any scruples. He could only trap us and not let us go. This is something you don’t know, Mr. Registrar."
The chief clerk's face was pale, and he seemed to be about to faint again the next moment when he was forced to recall the past.
"Dewey and Wang Zhi wanted to pretend to be bandits again and kill us to silence us. We also used their trick to kill them on the way out."
"In order to make it easier for us to take action, Dewey and Wang Zhi kicked out all of you from the county government, and the city gate guards also changed officers and soldiers, which is also convenient for us."
After hearing what Li Minglou said, the chief clerk thought about the blood sea and corpses he saw when he came to the county office that morning, and said in a trembling voice: "So those were all done by you, and there are no bandits at all?"
"Officers and soldiers are thieves, shouldn't they be killed even more?" Li Minglou didn't answer, he just asked.
The officers and soldiers were thieves, and they should not be killed at their request. Instead, they should tell the state government, the Taoist government, and even the imperial court and the emperor that they killed Wang Zhi Dewei and others because Wang Zhi Dewei wanted to kill them.
Well, of course he didn't dare to say this. The chief clerk looked at the little girl covered by the black umbrella in front of him, and thought of seeing her appear in front of the county government office in the sea of blood, thinking that a god had come, but it turned out to be a Yama ghost.
"Since there are no bandits, what are you doing in our Dou County?" he asked in a trembling voice.
We have recruited so many people to serve as officers and soldiers, and now we are using these people to kill officers and soldiers. Oh, did those officers and soldiers get the news to arrest them, so they want to kill officers and soldiers again. The more the chief clerk thought about it, the more distracted his eyes became.
My body was shaking so much that I couldn't sit still.
"We stay here because we learned from Wang Zhi and Dewey that they were arranged by others to do this, and there will be bigger moves next." The reason is easy to explain. There is no evidence to blame Wang Zhi and Dewey.
Li Minglou looked at the chief clerk who was afraid of him, "Master chief clerk, I don't know how many officers and soldiers in Huainan Road were involved. I didn't have any evidence for you to believe it at that time. I didn't dare and couldn't reveal anything, but I couldn't look at Dou.
The county is being poisoned.”
The chief clerk didn't know whether he understood or not, so he remained silent.
"The bandits in other places these days are also disguised as officers and soldiers." Li Minglou continued, "The Xuanwu Dao military rebellion was also arranged."
The chief clerk raised his head and murmured what he wanted to say, but finally fell silent.
"Your Excellency, you don't believe me now." Li Minglou said, "I don't care whether you believe it or not. I stayed in Dou County to do these things to prevent these rebels from invading and to prevent Dou County from being devastated."
She stopped looking at the main register, turned around and looked in front of the city gate, and suddenly turned to ask Yuan Ji.
"Are they soldiers and horses coming from Xuanwu Road or western Zhejiang?"
Look, she really didn't know what kind of soldiers and horses were coming. The chief clerk almost jumped up from the ground, but she had no strength.
This question was a bit strange, but since the young lady asked it, it made sense. Yuanji thought about it carefully and confirmed: "Yes."
After all, according to fate, Dou County was destroyed at the hands of Wu Ya'er. Although there was still no news, Li Minglou still felt that Wu Ya'er's troops should have arrived by this time.
"If there are people coming from Mobei, don't take action directly." She said.
Yuan Ji understood that the lady had been asking for news about Zhenwu Army in Mobei, but because there was still no news, he almost forgot about it.
"Yes, I know." Yuan Ji said, "The people who are out investigating have already given orders."
Li Minglou withdrew his gaze and looked outside the city gate: "The rebels are attacking, and everyone in Dou County should work together as one. As officers and soldiers of Daxia, we should take it as our duty to secure the country and protect the people, and eliminate the danger and quell the thieves."
The guards all around responded in unison.
There were also several officials from the county government, including one who had previously greeted the imprisoned chief registrar. Now they saw the chief registrar sitting on the ground and pretended not to notice. What Li Minglou said to the chief registrar just now did not matter.
Avoid them, their faces turned pale, surprised and frightened.
The oaths were shouted all around, and the officials were a little at a loss. The reason why they obeyed and did not protest against Mrs. Wu's control of Dou County was because what they did every day was civil affairs related to people's livelihood, and they had nothing to do with official documents from their superiors or military affairs. These matters had nothing to do with
They have nothing to do with each other, so they pretend to know nothing.
So now that Dou County is going to fight with the officers and soldiers, and it is related to everyone's livelihood, how should we react?
Li Minglou did not wait for their reaction. She had other things waiting for her to arrange: "The battle now is not the key. After these 700 people, more troops will attack. The siege will last for a long time. We will definitely be defeated."
The city is under siege and the supply in the city is about to be controlled. How many people do we have now? How long can we last?"
This needs to be coordinated based on the population reserve. How many people need to be known and the cost is calculated based on the number of reserve materials. People are divided into old, middle-aged and young, men, women and children, soldiers and civilians...
Yuan Ji can't remember this, nor can he straighten it out in a short time: "I let people..."
Before I could finish this sentence, a faint voice sounded from the side: "There are about 50,000 new residents plus old residents in Dou County. Now the official granary is full, and every household has food in stock. In addition, the merchants left behind when they left.
The rice grains are sealed, but since there are nearly 30,000 new people, more than half of them rely on Mrs. Wu's porridge, so based on the rations of a young man, Dou County can last for a month."
It was quiet at the city gate. Li Minglou followed the sound and saw a thin official standing behind the crowd. Although she lived in the county government office, she was not familiar with anyone except the chief clerk and had no impression of this small official.
.
The clerk's lips moved, and he mumbled vaguely, saying that it was not right to be considered young and strong, and that the rations for civilians and soldiers should be differentiated. The numbers came out one after another, but he clasped his hands and looked down blankly, as if he was not answering Li
Minglou's words were just talking to himself.
The clerks around him looked uneasy, and someone kicked him.
The official stopped counting with a cry and looked at the people around him in confusion.
"What do you do in the county government?" Li Minglou asked.
"I am a warehouse envoy." Upon hearing the question, the clerk answered smoothly. After he finished answering, he realized who was asking, and he was suddenly nervous and at a loss.
The warehouse envoy is a low-level official who manages the warehouse.
Li Minglou nodded: "Give him all the government and military camp supplies, and obey him on how to spend them, including ours."
Yuanji responded yes.
"Thank you, sir." Li Minglou bowed and saluted.
This is a thank you to the petty official.
Is this an adult? The clerk was dumbfounded. Others looked shocked. Even the chief clerk who was sitting on the ground looked over. All the supplies were handed over to this clerk?
She didn't recognize him, didn't even know what he did, so she gave him all the supplies in Dou County based on a few vague words and figures without even checking them? What's more?
All Mrs. Wu’s supplies.
Mrs. Wu's supplies are as inexhaustible as a cornucopia in everyone's eyes.
Just leave it to him?
Is this Mrs. Wu crazy?
Qi Dayong is going crazy and angry.
He stood in front of the dead soldier, gritting his teeth and making a sound like Dou Xian, as if Dou Xian had turned into a bone and was being torn apart by him.
"Sir, let's go to another group of questioning..." a soldier suggested.
Before he finished speaking, Qi Da kicked him away.
Qi Dayong waved the ten-foot-long sword behind him and roared: "What a question, let's attack the city immediately! Break the city! Burn the city!"
