Chapter 168: There are no good people in Linxian County

The two of them were not officials appointed by the court, but were officials from the county town, so the county magistrate could directly appoint and remove him, so he had to be careful with him.

"Well, there is no need to be too polite. You come back to the county government with me. I have something to know from you." Gao Chong nodded at them, then urged the horse to leave.

The two of them dared not delay and quickly followed closely behind.

The county government in Linlu County has been robbed. Although it has been repaired, many places are still in ruins. Even the plaques and drums of injustice have been broken and have not been replaced yet. In some places, traces of the battle can be seen, and there are still dim blood.

Gao Chong made great strides into the lobby, and it was deserted and there was a layer of soil on the table. Mu Hong quickly ordered someone to go up and clean the dust and asked Gao Chong to sit in the lobby.

Gao Baobao and Gao Hu stood behind Gao Chong like half a black tower. They stood behind them with huge maces and demon-subduing pestle. Anyone who saw them would get a chill in their necks.

Liu Ziyi, the county magistrate, sat in the side seat, Yue Fei, Cao Ning, Wang Heng, Hao Guang, Mu Hong and Rong Chui, stood on both sides. Xiao Yun and Jia Hu stood tremblingly and waited for a question.

Gao Chong did not ask them directly, but said to Mu Hong: "Mu Hong, take your subordinates to take over the city defense, all four doors are open. What does it look like if you close the door in broad daylight?"

"Yes!" Mu Hong agreed, turned around and left. Xiao Yun and Jia Hu's faces changed drastically. They opened their mouths nervously, but did not dare to speak.

Gao Chong continued: "Cao Ning, Hao Guang, you and Rong Chui will take their troops to the military camp. I guess the situation there is not optimistic. Please make some adjustments and arrange for the station."

"Yes!" The three of them agreed and turned around and left.

Gao Chong knew that the few of them were just generals and their abilities were just in the military, so he arranged for them to leave first; but Yue Fei was the real commander, so he asked him to stay with him to handle government affairs.

After these people left, Gao Chong looked at Xiao Yun and Jia Hu and said, "You two will introduce me to the situation in Linlu County."

Xiao Yun and Jia Hu looked at each other and suddenly knelt down on the ground and cried loudly: "My Lord, let's make the decision for us! There are 10,000 households in Linlu County, and 8,000 households in the bandits. We were trembling and didn't dare to go down the city wall."

"What?" This shocked Gao Chong, Liu Ziyi and Yue Fei.

"Du!" Gao Chong slapped the table and shouted: "Nonsense! According to your opinion, wouldn't it mean that there are no good people in Linlu County?"

Xiao Aisi said, "Sir, you have seen that as the upper county, our Linlu County has a tall city wall. Lord Huang also has hundreds of soldiers under his command, and he is said to be able to defend the city wall. However, when the thief came, the magistrate summoned the young and strong people in the city to help defend the city.

However, after they came to the city, they suddenly rebelled. Not only did they not help defend the city, they also killed the official army, opened the city gate and sent the thieves in."

Jia Hu said with some fear: "Sir, the thief killed Huang Tuanlian and attacked the county government. At that time, the county magistrate and the county magistrate had retreated, and they were intercepted, causing the two adults to be killed.

These people also led the way for the thieves and confiscated the homes of all officials, and all those who were worried about resisting were killed."

Xiao Aisi said: "They have also broken the houses of the villains. Fortunately, we have some reputation, so we have left a life.

The treasury broken by these thieves transported half of the food inside, and all the remaining ones were given to these troublemakers, and each household received a stone of food.

The government army also recaptured the county town, but thieves came to attack that day, and all had to retreat back. I dare say that there must be someone in the city! I think they must start taking action again now; please strictly search the people in and out."

Gao Chong looked at them coldly and said, "Get up and talk to me!"

The two of them dared not refuse to listen and stood up quickly.

"I will thoroughly investigate this matter and always give everyone justice. Don't worry about the thief. What I am afraid of now is that they don't come. Since I dare to come, no one will leave! Are all the household registration documents in Xiaoyun County still there? Take them out and hand them over to Liu County Chief."

"Yes, here! These things cannot be eaten and drunk, and the thieves did not touch him at all. I will get them for Lord Liu immediately."

"No, arrange for someone to seal it, I'll check it later." Liu Ziyi waved his hand and explained.

"Ziyi, you send a notice to the people to rest and tell everyone that the county will take office. Please rest assured and do whatever you should do. At the same time, tell them, if anyone dares to take the opportunity to make trouble, don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless!"

"Okay! I'll write now, and then arrange for military soldiers to patrol the city and inform everyone of this matter!"

Gao Chong looked back at Yue Fei and said, "Fifth Brother, I want to trouble you. According to what the two of them said, these thieves will come back to our city in the afternoon. This time, we must teach them a lesson and let them know that from today on Linlu County is not something they can come to just want."

Yue Fei bowed and said, "Please rest assured. I will go to Ximen and wait for them now. This time they will definitely go without returning."

Gao Chong laughed and said, "I'll trouble my fifth brother. Although my two brothers, Gao Baobao and Gao Hu, are average in martial arts, are still very powerful for rushing and shock. Let them go out to see them with the fifth brother!"

Yue Fei smiled bitterly. He had also seen the abilities of these two guys. Do you want to talk about abilities? It is indeed very ordinary, but if you want to fight on the battlefield, it is two human-shaped beasts. If they are willing to help, they will be half the result with twice the effort.

"Then I'm thankful for your help." Yue Fei did not refuse and took Gao Baobao and Gao Hu out of the county government lobby.

"Wang Heng, Jia Hu, you two bring me all the constables to the streets and tell everyone that the thieves are under the city, no one is allowed to go out. If anyone dares to disobey, it is equivalent to rebellion and no mercy is killed!"

"Yes!" Wang Heng agreed and took a big step out of the county government with a large copper stick. Jia Hu looked at Xiao Yun, Gao Chong, and hurried out.

Gao Chong said to Liu Ziyi in a lobby: "Ziyi, this is our first test, we will wait here. If the thief retreats, we will gain a foothold smoothly. If the thief breaks through the city, we will escape as soon as possible."

Liu Ziyi smiled and said, "I'm very relieved. Yue Fei and Cao Ning are all peerless generals. Although they are not many under their command and are all newcomers, they are still very relaxed to deal with some thieves. What I am worried about now is that Wang Heng has no problem dealing with this civilian in the city, but Linlu County is too big and afraid that he will not be able to take care of it."

"Ziyi's words are reasonable! Let Cao Ning guard the north gate, Hao Guang guard the south gate, Rongchui guard the east gate. Let one of Mu Hong's camps come back and be dispatched by Wang Heng to maintain order in the city together."

"In this way, we can rest assured! Shaojun, have you started to think about what to do next?"

"The most urgent task is to suppress the bandits. I don't believe that 80% of the people in the city are bandits! There must be some reason here! We are guests from afar, so we must first gain everyone's trust. Ziyi, what should we do?"

"Shaojun, your first big stick has been swung over and your majesty has already been established. It is time to give some benefits. According to what Xiao Aisi said, 80% of people accept the food of the thief; we cannot all punish so many people, so we can do a great kindness and pardon them!"

"Okay! Ziyi issued a notice and told the people in the city: Let them take the grain distributed by the thieves to me to exchange for relief grain one by one. Anyone who was exchanged will receive the food provided by the court, and it has nothing to do with the bandits. If it is not exchanged, it is equivalent to the bandits' disposal."

Liu Ziyi agreed and began to discuss and issue an announcement.

In the evening, smoke and dust rose up in the west and north of Linlu County, and a group of thieves came to the city.

There were more than 2,000 thieves under the city of Xicheng. They were all brightly armored and brightly lit with swords and spears, and cold air. They stood there neatly, and a huge pressure fell on Yue Fei and others on the top of the city.

Yue Fei was all recruited by some newly recruited recruits. They had never been on the battlefield at all. Seeing the enemy's power, they were so scared that their legs were trembling.

There are only more than 1,000 thieves in the North City, and they are in chaos and their weapons are chaotic. At first glance, they are the partial masters responsible for restraining them.

Yue Fei saw his subordinates' performance. He knew that Linlu County now has no tools to defend the city except the city wall, and even archers do not have them. If they do not defeat the enemy's arrogance, they will not be able to defend them no matter what.

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and looked at Gao Baobao and Gao Hu who were like King Kong next to him. They were not afraid at all, but their eyes were full of excitement.

"Gao Baobao, Gao Hu, I want to borrow your magic weapon now, are you willing to follow me out and rush for a while to give the enemy a little bit of strength?"

Gao Baobao grinned and said, "General, just leave this to us. You can command the army to defend the city. Just 2,000 people are not enough for me to smash it with a big stick."

Gao Hu also patted his stomach and said, "That's right, wait! Wait until I go down and drive them away. We're going to have a meal. I'm hungry."

Yue Fei was speechless. This guy ate more than ten people alone. Why did he have to eat again after he finished eating? "Okay! Please show us your courage. I'm here to watch it as you are ready to rescue."

"Okay! Just look at it!" Gao Baobao and Gao Hu shouted and went down the city tower.

"Open the door!" The two shouted loudly, and the soldiers guarding the door opened the door tremblingly. When they saw them going out, they quickly closed the door.

Yue Fei got off the entrance of the city and mentioned his war horse to the door and said, "Open the door. I will wait for the two generals to return triumphantly by the suspension bridge. When will I die? Put away the suspension bridge and close the city gate."
