Chapter 38

Zhou Wentong just got angry. His housekeeper Zhou Fubo hurried in and said in a daze, "the master is bad. Something big has happened?"

Zhou Wentong regarded himself as a scholar. What he always paid attention to was that Mount Tai collapsed in front without changing his face. He put down his book and said with great dissatisfaction: "what's the matter? What's the system when he was surprised?"

The housekeeper Zhou Fubo looked pale. He was very flustered and said, "my Lord is not well. I don't know whether soldiers or robbers have entered the county and the county government."

Zhou Wentong finally couldn't calm down. His face was pale, his feet trembled and asked, "what does this mean? Robbers or soldiers, don't you understand?"

The housekeeper said, "there are many of them. They have attacked the county government. They catch people when they see them. They claim to be heroes of Jufeng mountain."

Zhou Wentong was shocked. They came here so far from Jufeng mountain. He immediately said, "run away."

Zhou Wentong ran away, but he just escaped from his study. He found that as an imperial court official, he was responsible for guarding one side. If he escaped, the imperial court would catch him and cut him off. What should I do?

Zhou Wentong had no choice but to say loudly, "hurry to summon the captors and servants to prepare for resistance. I, Zhou Wentong, a scholar, pay attention to integrity. I will die with the thief today."

Zhou Wentong was talking when he saw several servants running here with knives. He thought they came from the yard guard and came to protect him. There were many people and they were brave.

However, before these servants ran to him, a large number of enemy soldiers rushed into the other end of the yard. The other party took up the bow and arrow and shot them directly.

Seeing several servants die in front of him, Zhou Wentong was shocked and almost fell to the ground. Zhou Wentong shouted, "don't shoot arrows, don't shoot arrows, I'm Zhou Wentong, the county magistrate."

"Here?" Liu Ning cheered and directly ran over and put the knife on Zhou Wentong's neck. Liu Ning was a little man. Zhou Wentong didn't know him, so he didn't make up, but Liu Zhongyong put on makeup because he met Zhou Wentong, and he hid elsewhere.

Liu Ning saw Zhou Wentong wearing blue official clothes, and then he said with a sneer, "Lord Zhou! It's easy for me to find."

Zhou Wentong said in a trembling voice, "who are you? What are you doing here?"

Liu Ning sneered and said, "we are heroes on Jufeng mountain. We have heard of Lord Zhou's reputation on the mountain for a long time. We have come to borrow some food and grass from Lord Zhou. Lord Zhou has always been generous and will certainly not disappoint us."

Hearing the other party's explanation, Zhou Wentong was as frightened as a basin of cold water. As a county magistrate of the imperial court, the shepherd side let the robbers attack the city, and it was difficult for others to protect their heads.

Zhou Wentong said, "hero, if you are short of money, you can speak like us. Why do you go roughshod into the county? It's known all over the world that it's hard for me to step down!"

Liu Ning said, "that's your business. Anyway, we're here today to raise food and grass. We don't want money. If you insist on not giving money, we have to get it ourselves."

Zhou Wentong said, "it's easy to say if you want money, but you can't wait to kill innocent people here.".

Liu Ning said, "well said, we are asking for money rather than life. If you cooperate, we will get the food and grass and retreat immediately. If you dare to play tricks on both sides, it will not be a big thing to kill Jimo City."

Zhou Wentong was relieved when he heard that the other party only wanted money and only recognized money. It's easy to say that if the other party wanted his life and massacred in the city, he could not be a county magistrate.

Liu Ning said, "our requirements are not high. As long as you give 150000 liang of silver and 50000 stone grain, we will go back. When nothing happens, we will not kill your people again."

Zhou Wentong was shocked and said, "where did I get so much money? So much food."

Liu Ning said very strongly, "it's your business that you don't have money. Who doesn't know that Jimo is a rich county with plenty of money. If you don't raise these things in one day, we will kill ten people every half an hour, starting from the county government."

At first, when Zhou Wentong heard about killing people, he had nothing to worry about, because he always didn't care about the life and death of the people, but when he heard that the other party said that he started killing people from the county government, that is, killing people around him and his relatives, he couldn't calm down and said with a sad face: "good man, where did you ask me to raise so much money and food in such a short time?"

Liu Ning said: "It's your business. Anyway, you can get away safely by raising money for us as quickly as possible. Otherwise, we will stay here and start killing people. Moreover, the news leaked out and spread to the outside. Others also know that you, as a county magistrate, actually lost the county seat. Do you know the consequences? The imperial court will certainly pull you to the entrance of the vegetable market and cut you to pieces. Thank God Down. "

When Liu Bu said this, Zhou Wentong was even more worried. He said, "can I reduce it? I can raise 100000 liang of silver and 20000 stone grain for you in one day."

Liu Ning said, "I still want to talk about the price. Do you think it's a business? I don't accept the price reduction. If you are willing to accept the price, go and implement it quickly. If you don't accept it, we'll go out and search for it ourselves. You can do it yourself."

Liu Ning was so tough that Zhou Wentong couldn't help it. He always bullied the good and feared the evil. Seeing that this man was evil, he took a knife and waved it in front of him. He was very scared.

Zhou Wentong begged: "several heroes, I have to ask my officials to call my people so that I can arrange them to raise money. I want my teachers, servants and captains to help."

Liu Ning said, "well, this is going to be promoted, isn't it? These people are detained in the county government hall and take the county magistrate to have a look."

They successfully controlled the whole county government, blocked the front and back doors, and then sent people to search for gold and silver treasures in the county government.

If the other party's servants dare to resist, they will all be killed with a knife. If they cooperate, they will be tied up and locked up in the firewood room, but they pay great attention to discipline and do not take the opportunity to commit adultery and molest women.

Liu Ning took a knife and put Zhou Wentong, the magistrate of the county, into the county government hall. Without hesitation, he sat in the position of the present master, then took the startling wood and said, "ascend to the hall."

Under the plaque hung high in the mirror, there were forty or fifty people, all with knives and guns. Surrounded in the middle were the Yamen servants and captains who had laid down their weapons, as well as some servants in the county yamen. They were all tied up. They saw the magistrate Zhou Wentong coming out, knelt down and said, "please help me, my Lord. Please make the decision."

Zhou Wentong secretly complained. You told me that this is useless. Now I'm also a prisoner at the bottom of the rank and I'm still a fart master.

Liu Ning did not let the big stab sit on the position of county magistrate, which also made him an official addiction. He sat on the position of county magistrate, directly smashed it with a startling wood, and said, "kneel down, who is it? Report your name!" this was learned in the play.

This surprised everyone a little. Now it's not a trial. The Yamen servants and servants don't know how to say it for the moment.

Seeing no response, Liu Ning also felt a little pit. He coughed and said, "I'm a hero from Jufeng mountain. I'm passing by your land today and waiting for some food and grass. If you cooperate obediently, I can ensure that I won't commit any offense. If you dare to act against and hostile to our Jufeng mountain heroes, don't blame me for my ruthlessness."

Li Xiaoqiang, the head of the county government constable, asked in surprise, "sir?"

It was really hard for him to tell. The robbers robbed the county government and the county magistrate, and the face was swollen and cruel enough.

Zhou Wentong also felt very ashamed. He was so ashamed that he just wanted to find a place to drill in, but there was no way. There were two knives next to him? He had to say, "these are the heroes of Jufeng mountain. They just want some money and food. They promised me that as long as they get money and food, they will retreat and make no mistakes to the people. Based on the principle of people-oriented, I can earn money if there is no money, and there is no life to compensate if there is no people. So I decided to order you to raise money and food for these heroes."

Zhou Wentong almost said these words with shame.

The master shouted, "Sir, how much money and food do these heroes need?"

Li Ning said directly, "150000 Liang silver and 50000 stone grain."

The master was startled and said, "isn't this robbery? How does Jimo raise so much money and food?"

Liu Ning said, "I only ask you if you can raise it. If you can't, I'll change a group of people who can raise it."

There was a threat in his tone. Of course, it didn't mean that you wouldn't raise if you didn't want to, but that if you didn't want to do it, you would cut you directly, and then change to someone who was willing to listen. If you didn't listen, cut again until you were obedient.

The master said, "no! No! The duty is that the students are unwilling to cooperate with the actions of heroes, but the county government doesn't have so much money or so much food and grass in the inventory. Where do you ask the students to raise money in a moment and a half“

Liu Ning directly pulled out the knife and put it on the table. It was a bright and plain knife. It was extremely sharp. If he cut it, his head would be cut off. He said directly, "tell my brother if he agrees?"

When the master saw the bright knife, he looked to the county magistrate for help. Zhou Wentong pretended not to see it and lowered his head.

But Zhou Wentong wanted to be a tortoise bastard. Liu Ning didn't want him to be a tortoise bastard. He winked at his men directly. The servant kicked him directly and said, "you are the county magistrate. You fart!"

Zhou Wentong couldn't hide, so he had to say, "now I'm a knife, I'm a fish, there's no way. The people are good. Please do your best to raise it."

It's obvious that people are greedy for life and afraid of death. They also involve the people. They are really good at creating public opinion.
