Chapter 1146： What are you afraid of, what come!

Chapter 1146 What are you afraid of? What’s coming!

"Sir, it seems that there is a situation in the county town! Someone is attacking the city!" Lao Hei was the first to draw his sword and protect Jiaren.

Jiaren also frowned and quickly ordered, "Send someone to investigate and ask what happened in the county town? Who is attacking the city?"

Old Hei's veterans immediately separated into four or five and dispersed and ran towards the county seat.

Lao Hei and others protected Jiaren and walked another seven or eight miles. At this time, the veterans immediately came back with a embarrassed city defense soldier.

There are two more **** behind, lying across the horse's back.

“Sir, we took advantage of the chaos and captured two ‘tongues’ among the attackers, and also received the messenger.”

The city defense soldier recognized Jiaren, got off his horse, knelt down and cried, "My lord, my lord! When the city gate was about to close tonight, a group of people made trouble. When our city defense was about to deal with it, they Go suddenly pulled out his waist knife and started to chop people.

“Our commander-in-chief led our brothers and tried our best to close the city gate. But these people went crazy and rushed at the city gate with logs. We also poured oil from the top of the wall and lit a fire.

"We have barely managed to defeat them. The commander sent our team out to look for you and ask for reinforcements from the border. As a result, they were discovered on the road, and I was the only one left in our team!"

Perhaps thinking of his brothers in the same team, this young soldier cried even harder.

Lao Hei couldn't bear to see him like this, so he kicked him and cursed, "Why are you crying? You look like a coward. My brother died in the battle, so I picked up the knife and chopped him back for revenge. There's no point in crying! Drown with tears." Enemy!"

Xiao Bing wiped his tears and was too choked to cry anymore.

Jiaren carefully asked how many people came and what their fighting strength was, and he had some guesses in his mind.

Sure enough, two ‘tongues’ were brought up.

Both of them were sallow and thin, not fully clothed, with knives on their necks. They were shaking like chaff, and the smell of urine gradually spread between their legs.

“Sir, spare your life, wuwu, please spare your life! We still have a wife and children at home, and we didn’t kill anyone!”

“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, sir, have mercy on me, my wife is going to starve to death, and I just came out to beg for some food!”

Jiaren interrupted them coldly and said, "You are people from nearby villages and towns? Why are you attacking the county? Who is the leader?"

"Yes, yes! Sir!" A person responded quickly, "I live in Qingshan Village. There is really nothing to eat at home. The wells have dried up and all the grass and leaves on the mountains have been robbed. My mother and child are crying from hunger. I just wanted to come out and find something to eat.

“A church leader named Amitabha was preaching, saying that the gods in the sky were so angry that it would not rain this year, the crops would fail, and we would all starve to death. The only way to survive would be to follow them.

“Then I ate two meals with them and then I was brought here!”

The other person was also afraid of being robbed of the opportunity to confess and be lenient, so he quickly agreed.

"We didn't take knives at all, we just found a wooden stick and shouted a few times from behind. The hall leader said that there is a Taiping warehouse in the county, and there is countless grain in the warehouse. As long as the city is breached, he will open the warehouse and provide Let’s share the food!”

Jiaren was horrified when he heard this. What he feared most in a famine year was not the loss of food production, but someone inciting riots.

Needless to say, this happened to him.

In the six months since he took office, he has spent almost most of his time outside the city.

Have visited all the villages and towns, seen and understood them personally.

Distribute seeds, dig reservoirs, strengthen the training of city defense soldiers, and guard every grain of food in the Taiping Cang.

At present, it seems that these efforts are all in vain.

 with natural disasters still irresistible, Taipingcang has also become a target for thugs!

“How many people are there in the Amitabha Sect?” Jiaren asked again, “Where is their home base?”

The two commoners shook their heads, and one of them replied, "I don't know, sir. This hall leader brought more than thirty people, all with knives. They didn't say where the lair was, but they said that some big shot would be coming in a few days. , so the hall master is anxious to perform meritorious deeds!" Jia Ren looked at the veterans, "They were really at the back and didn't hurt anyone?"

"Yes," a veteran replied, "it's very easy to catch him, and he will be knocked down with one kick."

Jiaren motioned to Lao Hei to untie the two of them and said, "Go back and tell the people in your village to bring your family to the county seat as soon as possible to ensure that you don't starve to death. I will only wait for three days. After three days, if you don't enter the city, you will be treated as a gang member." , and can no longer enter the county seat.”

The two people were extremely surprised. They didn't expect to be released so easily and have the opportunity to make a living in the county.

“Thank you, sir, woo woo, thank you, sir!”

The two kowtowed quickly, then helped each other and ran away.

Lao Hei stepped forward and asked, "Sir, do you have any plans?"

Jiaren nodded, "Uncle Hei, I need your help in this matter, but it's a bit dangerous."

"Sir, just say it, the princess is worried about us coming here this time, so she came here to visit you. Now that this is happening, we naturally can't stand by and watch, otherwise we won't be able to see the princess when we go back." Lao Hei said boldly.

The other veterans also nodded.

"Yes, sir, we are border guards ourselves. The barbarians have killed countless people, but we are not afraid of these bandits and thugs."

“My lord, give the order.”

Jiaren bowed deeply, thanked them, and then made arrangements...

At the head of Fengshan County City, the county magistrate, the county captain, and the city defense commander all gathered together. Looking at the thick heads under the city gate, they couldn't help but feel cold in their hearts.

Today is no different from every day, except that the magistrate is out of town and not at home.

But the county magistrate is away from home every day and rarely sits in the office, so everyone is used to it.

Over the past six months, they have become familiar with the temper of the new county magistrate.

As long as they perform their duties and do not cause trouble in private, the county magistrate will not interfere with their work.

Even the county magistrate has sent good things to his family, and he will give them a share.

As a result, when the city gate was closed, they did not wait to return to the county magistrate, but instead were greeted by bandits and thugs.

In the city gate, there were more than thirty corpses covered with white linen in a row. They were all soldiers who had just died in the battle and the people who had been affected.

There are still so many bandits and thugs below, and the hot oil has not been poured away. We don’t know when we will attack again, and the casualties will definitely continue to increase.

At this time, they have no backbone, their eyes are really red with hope, and they wish the county magistrate would fall from the sky!

Suddenly, some soldiers led the steward of the Li family to the city tower and came looking for him.

"My lords, our lord has returned. But now he is behind this group of thugs, and he has already found out the details of the thugs."

The manager of the Li family spoke sharply, and everyone was extremely surprised, and then worried at the same time as he said a few words.

“Your Excellency is in danger, do you want the city defense camp to send someone to protect you?” The county lieutenant did not forget his duty and asked.

The steward of the Li family responded, "Don't worry, Lord County Captain, we are safe. Your Excellency has made a plan to cooperate inside and outside to capture the thief and the king, and I hope you all will cooperate. I hope you will go all out for the safety of Fengshan."
