"Mr. Chen, is the number of registered households in Chenjiazhuang far different from the actual number of households?" Zheng Jian asked Chen Lu with his household registration book in his hand.

"This..." Chen Lu's mind was very fast, thinking about how he could fool him: "At the New Year, the Jin people invaded Hebei, and the sea boats at home traveled to the north, and brought some refugees back..."

"These refugees were able to live in brick and tiles as soon as they came. Your Chen family is so generous." Zheng Jian's tone was full of sarcasm, and then asked, "You said merchant ships? Your Chen family has merchant ships running to the sea?"

Chen Lu really wanted to slap himself. Before the matter of hiding the house was resolved, he leaked the ship again.

"There are several small boats that can only run along the coastline and sell some local specialties produced in Chenjiazhuang."

"I've run away from the sea, how small can I get?" Zheng Jian said: "So, there is also a problem with the amount of the mixed commercial tax contract in your Chenjiazhuang!"

The more he said that, his face became colder: "Mr. Chen, your Chenjiazhuang is so bold."

Canglang, all the archers who met Zheng pulled out their swords.

"I dare not! I dare not!" Chen Lu was almost kneeling down, begging his ancestors in his heart, asking Chen Xun to come back quickly. As long as Chen Xun can come back immediately, he will be whatever he says in the future!

Suddenly, a noise came from the south:

"The pirates are here! Run away!"

"The pirate is here!"

Chenjiazhuang is located on the east side of the bay at the estuary of the Pearl River, and the coastline is located on the south side of Chenjiazhuang. Zhuangren who shouted loudly ran over from the south. Several people ran and shouted, with a look of horror. Two of them lost their shoes and dared not turn back to pick them up.

"Friends, run away! The pirates are here and they will chop them as soon as they see them!"

The Zhuangren who was guarding the drying yard suddenly became in chaos and began to run north.

The archers who were guarding the villagers didn't care about the pursuit and quickly surrounded Zheng Jian.

"Oshi, are we leaving or staying?"

Pirates are still not visible yet, and the mulberry trees planted on the ridges in the south block the view.

"Strange, how could a pirate dare to come into the bay?" Zheng Jian had seen the world after all: "Look at the situation again."

......

"Brother Yu, they didn't run away."

The one who was called Yu Ge was a young man wearing a Coast Clothes just now, but now everyone has changed their clothes, all of which are torn old clothes, and the inner armor under the jacket can be vaguely seen.

"I'll fight. The guy was masked and searched the guy, rushed over with me, and arrested all the corrupt officials who ate human flesh and drink human blood."

"Listen to you, Brother Yu."

"good!"

Everyone checked the equipment and formed four lines of scattered and tightly, rushing towards Chenjiazhuang.

"kill!!"

......

"Ayeshi, the pirate is here!"

"I'm not blind." Zheng Jian pushed away the archer who was blocking him: "I didn't expect that there would be pirates who dared to come into the bay. When I return to the county government, I must report to the county magistrate and wipe out all the bold bandits."

"Ayeshi, now isn't the time to talk about this. Are we going to fight or leave?" asked the bowman.

Looking at the more than a hundred pirates rushing towards him, Zheng Jian was also a little hesitant.

Run away. If the Chen family later sued me, I would be considered a major dereliction of duty.

Let's fight, there is no order from above.

But if these pirates were not fighting and letting these pirates rob Chenjiazhuang, the property of Chenjiazhuang would be the fat meat on his mouth, and they would inevitably be blamed by the superiors.

If it is a battle, all those who die will be their own confidants. In the end, Chenjiazhuang's property will not be able to eat much.

Troubled!

"Ohsi, you have to make a decision as soon as possible."

Zheng Jian turned his head to look at the tiled house in Chenjiazhuang, gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Fight! Drive all this group of thieves to the sea."

He had already decided that when he drove away the thieves, he would first rob Chenjiazhuang and make up for his losses.

By then, all of them will be on the pirates and they will still be able to make some military achievements.

"Arrow ready! Get close to shoot!"

"Prepare!" Zheng Jian shouted loudly.

Wow, when both sides were seventy steps away, the pirate's arrow shot first.

The featherless crossbow arrows that are more than one meter long are shot through by one arrow.

"They have crossbows!" "It must be the crossbow!"

The pirates rushing over stopped running at a distance of seventy steps. The pirates in the front row raised a large wooden shield to protect the crossbowman behind.

"No wonder I dare to run into the bay to rob, this is a giant bandit!"

The Song Dynasty prohibited the people from holding crossbows, and anyone holding crossbows would be arrested and sentenced.

You should know that from the Han Dynasty to the present, the large-scale crossbow (bed crossbow) has a range of more than one thousand steps, and its power is very terrifying.

"Hurry guard me to retreat!"

Another wave of crossbow arrows, Zheng Jian could no longer hold on. No matter what kind of ghost property, life is important.

"Hurry and hurry!"

More than a dozen archers protected Zheng Jianlian and crawled away, while the other archers even fled in scattered lives.

......

"Come on, chase after me, don't let them run away!" The young men pretending to be pirates did not expect that the archers from the county came so carelessly. They quickly left behind the heavy Chopin and Big Wooden Shield and chased the archers who were running away.

"Let's go to the horse circle!" Some people acted separately.

As soon as the fake pirates entered the village, they were recognized by the villagers. The villagers quickly put away their self-defense weapons to avoid misunderstandings. The brave ones changed into old clothes and followed them with masks.

"Chasing!"

"Run!"

"We're here to ride a horse!"

"Dog official! Don't run!"

"Surrender and not kill!"

...

The chase continued until dark before it ended.

The villagers helped the fake pirates tie up the captured archers and concentrated the dead archers in the drying ground.

"The number of people is wrong, and seventeen people ran away." Chen Lu said. He was responsible for the reception before and knew the number of people who came here to find fault this time: "When they came here before, they rode nine horses."

"The news must not be hidden, Dongguan County will definitely know."

"This is not nonsense. Even if you catch them, so many people come to our Chenjiazhuang and don't go back, the pig can know that something is wrong."

"What should I do now?"

"How did I know."

Everyone talked about it, and they made people feel quarrel.

"Okay!" Chen Lu roared and stopped everyone from making noise, and scolded the young man who took the lead in pretending to be a pirate: "You are so brave. You actually dare to kill the official. Now you have caused a big disaster for Chenjiazhuang."

"One person does things and one person does it. I, Chen Yu, took it on this matter. When the government pursues it, I will send me Chen Yu out. I promise to take it all." The young man who was called Brother Yu by his friends stood up and said.

"You are so light, and you dare to say that you can keep the secret under severe torture." Over the years, the older generation in the village has been greatly suppressed by Chen Xun's students. This time, Chen Xun's students caused trouble again, and it is inevitable that someone will speak strangely.

"I, Chen Yu, was picked up by my husband from the pile of dead people. I have made a profit after living for so many years. As long as I can bear the crime, I promise not to give those dog officials a chance to torture them." Chen Yu said this in a tone of sacrificing his life.

"Brother Yu, I'll go with you!"
