Chapter 44

Yang Song is the county magistrate of Xi County. Since the Zhou County Magistrate was killed by refugee Sun Anzu, he has led three squads of yamen runners and Minzhuang to chase the murderers everywhere. It has not been closed for three days since he has been so tired that he almost fell asleep on his horse.

"My County Magistrate, Doujiazhuang is ahead!" Captain Ge, who was leading the way in front, suddenly pointed forward.

Yang Song rubbed his blood-covered eyes and looked up. He saw a continuous house in front of him. At this moment, smoke was rising. It was probably that the villagers were cooking lunch.

Captain Ge carefully reminded: "Mr. The county magistrate, the village chief of Doujiazhuang is named Dou Jiande. This person has a wide range of friends, is generous and generous, and is very popular. He is quite skilled in martial arts. He is not easy to provoke. Should we go to the village to search!"

Yang Song's face darkened, he clasped his clothes and said, "Of course I need to search, it's just a mere village chief. What are you afraid of him?"

Although Yang County Wei said it tough, he still understood the principle that the strong dragon did not suppress the local snake. He just had to do it due to the pressure exerted by the superiors.

Prefect Lu had already issued a death order. He did not catch the murderer Sun Anzu within ten days and was removed from the county magistrate and was beaten to the end. In order to save his job, County Magistrate Yang could only work hard. Even if he knew that the other party was a local snake, he had to reach out to touch the letter.

Let’s talk about the fact that Yang County Magistrate led dozens of yamen runners to the entrance of Zhuangkou and was stopped by Zhuangmin, holding weapons. Captain Ge hurriedly scolded: “Bold, this is the county lieutenant Yang of our county, please retreat quickly.”

The villagers holding bamboo spears and wooden spears were unafraid and said, "No matter whether you are a county magistrate or a prefect, no one is allowed to enter the fort without the permission of our village chief."

County Magistrate Yang's face darkened. It was indeed a group of unruly people. He shouted: "I am the county magistrate of this county. I came to search for the murderers who killed the county magistrate. You unruly people dare to stop them. Do you want to rebel?

The big hat of rebellion was put off, and the villagers finally looked a little more afraid, but they still blocked the road: "Please wait, please wait, we have already informed the village chief, and we will make a decision when the village chief comes."

Yang County Magistrate was both angry and helpless. As the saying goes, the county magistrate was better than to take charge of it. Everyone respected him in the city, but after leaving the village, he spoke less than a village chief. There was no way. In order to protect his own interests, the villagers were generally very united, especially the villagers of the same clan, who were united as a solid piece. They only trusted the leaders of their own tribe. Even if the prefect came in person, they were afraid that they would not be as good as the leaders' words.

Yang County Wei held back his anger and waited for two cups of tea. The village chief Dou Jiande finally arrived. He was wearing a cloth clothes and took off his pants. He was wet and barefoot with mud. It seemed that he had just returned from work in the field. He wiping sweat while saying, "I don't know that the county magistrate is coming, Jiande is missing and welcomes you!"

Seeing this, County Magistrate Yang was relieved and said in a deep voice: "Dou Jiande, I came to search for the murderers who killed County Magistrate Zhou. You have actually stopped these troublemakers under your rule. Do you want to rebel?"

Dou Jiande quickly said in fear and fear: "My lieutenant is forgiven for his crimes. This is the fault of the grass people. Due to the rampant bandits in recent days, for the safety of Doujiazhuang, the grass people had to organize the villagers to protect themselves and take turns to guard the intersections of the villages to prevent the criminals from entering the village. He also told them that without the consent of the grass people, no outsiders could be allowed to enter, so it is the fault of the grass people. If the county lieutenant wants to be punished, he should take the grass people to question it."

Although Dou Jiande said it nicely, he was actually fearless. He had such a high prestige here, and just a word made the villagers strictly enforce it. If County Magistrate Yang was ignorant of the ruling, he would be afraid that he would not be able to leave this Doujiazhuang.

Yang Song obviously knew that he had no choice but to do with Dou Jiande. Since the other party had already said soft words, he also walked down the steps with great tactfulness and snorted coldly: "Well, I thought about Dou Lizhu is also for the safety of the villagers. I will not pursue the investigation this time. However, in order to investigate the murderer, I still have to go to the village to search. Dou Lizhu must know the general and restrain the villagers well, and must not stop them."

Dou Jiande hurriedly said, "Of course, Lord Yang, Ge Ban, please... I'm still standing there and making a move. Let's go out of here. I'm asking for food. At noon, will the county magistrate and the man have to eat?"

County Magistrate Yang quickly said politely: "No need, we have prepared dry food."

Dou Jiande immediately shouted loudly when he heard this: "No need to prepare food anymore. The county magistrate said he brought dry food."

Yang Song's face was slightly stiff and he regretted it. It seems that he should not be polite when dealing with these straightforward mud legs in the future. He should be whatever he should be!

Dou Jiande has thick eyebrows, big eyes, wide nose and mouth, and his outfit is like a rough country farmer, giving people the feeling of being vulgar and honest, but at this moment a trace of invisible cunning flashed in his eyes.

County Magistrate Yang and his men searched the entire Doujiabao, but naturally found nothing. Captain Ge pointed to the Dou family ancestral hall and whispered: "Sir, the ancestral hall has not been searched yet."

County Magistrate Yang hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head. The ancestral hall is an important place among the clans, and the villagers here are not good at plagues. If they go to their clan ancestral temple to search, they will be afraid that unnecessary conflicts will occur, so let it go!

Dou Jiande really did not prepare meals for Yang County Wei and others. After searching, he politely sent them out of the village. Captain Ge worked hard for a while, but he didn't even get the benefits of the meal. He was dissatisfied and warned: "I know that the harboring criminals are the same as this case. If they know that the crime is not reported, they will also be questioned. If there is any news about Sun Anzu, they must report it to the county immediately!"

Dou Jiande smiled and said, "It must be. If the murderer comes to our Doujiazhuang, you don't need Captain Ge to take action, and we will catch it and send it to the county."

Captain Ge nodded coldly and shouted: "Stop the team!"

The yamen runners and Min Zhuang followed Yang County Wei and Captain Ge away from Doujiazhuang with a drooping head. Dou Jian watched them leave, and the humble smile on his face slowly disappeared, and he changed into a calm and serious expression.

"His grandma, Dou Jiande, this iron rooster, doesn't even give us a meal." The yamen runners complained while rushing to the back of Yang County Magistrate, and they were obviously cursing Dou Jiande, but they were complaining about this person pretending to be noble. They had already said they wanted to prepare meals, but they wanted to refuse, but they ended up causing everyone to starve!

County Magistrate Yang naturally noticed the dissatisfaction of the crowd and was also annoyed. He turned to ask Captain Ge and said, "You said before that Dou Jiande has some martial arts?"

Captain Ge nodded and said, "That's true!"

When Yang County Magistrate heard this, he said happily: "That's good. Yesterday, the court issued a document to recruit brave men from various counties as the Little Commander. I thought Dou Jiande could serve as the leader of two hundred people."

Captain Ge was stunned for a moment, and then he felt cold. Grandma, these civil servants were indeed insidious. He had read the official documents of the court. The court did want to recruit brave men from various counties to be the little commanders, but these little commanders wanted to lead the militia to fight against Goryeo. I remember that when Emperor Wen launched a million to fight against Goryeo, nine out of ten people came back alive. So the little commander of the militia seemed to be glorious, but in fact he was going to go to the gates of hell!

"You really can't offend civil officials. These guys are full of evil spirits. Dou Jiande is going to be in great danger!" Captain Ge said intimately.

Let’s talk about Dou Jiande returning to the village and heading straight to the ancestral hall. As soon as he entered the door, he saw a girl in red greeting him. The beautiful woman with a bright red eyebrows was particularly eye-catching, and it was Dou Xianniang.

"Dad, the official officer has left?" Dou Xianniang asked nervously.

Dou Jiande nodded and said, "Let's go, where is your Uncle Sun?"

Dou Xianniang patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief: "Uncle Sun and the others are still in the dark pavilion behind me, so I'm scared to death. Fortunately, the official did not go to the ancestral hall to search."

Dou Jiande smiled and said, "This Yang County Magistrate is a smart person. He knows that searching for the ancestral hall will cause conflicts, so he dare not search. Hehe, sometimes being too smart may not be a good thing. Go and call Uncle Sun out!"

After a moment, more than a dozen people walked out from behind the ancestral hall, and the leader was Sun Anzu.

It turned out that Sun Anzu and Dou Jiande were friends. After accidentally hitting the magistrate Zhou to death that day, he took more than a dozen familiar refugees to Dou Jiande and hid in Dou Jiabao. The villagers here only followed Dou Jiande, so no one reported it.

Sun Anzu held his fists gratefully and said, "Thank you, Brother Dou, for causing trouble for Brother Dou and the villagers. Anzu is uneasy, so leave when it gets dark!"

Dou Jiande's face darkened and said, "Brother Sun's words are out of sight. He suddenly wants to leave, but I'm a negligent brother?"

Sun Anzu hurriedly said, "No, it's just that I really don't want to implicate everyone. As the saying goes, if we stay here, I'm afraid it will be exposed sooner or later, and it will harm the elder brother and the villagers."

Dou Jiande pondered and said, "Then have you discussed the place to go?"

Sun Anzu shook his head confusedly: "Now you can only walk one step at a time, at worst you will be desperate."

Dou Jiande frowned when he heard this and said, "When Emperor Wen was in power, our Great Sui army was strong and powerful. He sent millions of troops to conquer Liaodong, but he was defeated by Goguryeo. Now that natural disasters are frequent, the people are unable to feed themselves. Yang Guang not only did not care about the people, but also had to personally conquer Goryeo. In addition, last year's Western Expedition, the vitality of the Great Sui Dynasty had not recovered. Now he sent heavy troops again, because he was afraid that the Sui Dynasty would be unstable.

If a real man fails to die, he should make great contributions. How can he be a coward who escapes?

Gaojipo is hundreds of miles in a radius, and Dongpu is blocking deep. It can avoid troops. Usually, it is enough to rob the business travelers on the canal to be self-sufficiency. You can also take the opportunity to expand your power and observe the changes in the world's tense. You may be able to achieve unparalleled achievements in the future."
