I’m The King Chapter 395: : The strangeness in the calm
Wu Ci'an is sitting in the lobby of the Baokang County Government Office. Behind him, two soldiers holding swords are standing there silently. No matter where Wu Ci'an goes, these two people are like shadows, even at night Sleeping, these two people also stood in front of the bed with their swords like this, which made Wu Ci'an quite depressed. Although those robbers (Wu Ci'an still thinks so until now) did not forbid him to go home, but he didn't want to leave Bringing these two shadows home frightened the family members.
There was news from home that everything was fine, there were people standing guard in front of the door, and no one broke in, which made him feel a little relieved. The vicious man with the scar on his face brought him back. Wu Gang who had been stabbed by the knife was carried back by this guy like a chicken.
This group of robbers who claimed to be the Gongsun tribe of the Huns made Wu Ci'an feel very strange. Instead of the style of the Huns who retreated quickly after looting, they stationed in Baokang County. Taking it as his own, this cannot but shock Wu Ci'an.
It is said that this group of people is not the Huns, but there are indeed a large number of Huns among them. Wu Ci'an still believes in his own eyes. Among the leaders who appeared in front of him, there were several Huns . Only the guy with an iron foot who seemed to be in charge, unlike him, his accent was more like that of Fufeng in the neighboring county.
The composition of them made Wu Ci'an puzzled. The iron-footed one seemed to be the leader, but he respected that young girl very much. One mouthful and one coach. I don't know what their relationship is. The one called the coach Women rarely show up. He stayed in the back hall of the county government all day, and his expression was a little depressed.
In addition to these, what shocked Wu Ci'an even more was the discipline of these bandits, which was in his heart. The Xiongnu robbers were extremely vicious. Wherever he goes, there must be no chickens or dogs left behind. Killing, burning, and looting is their consistent policy. But after this group of people entered Baokang, the military discipline was strict, not to mention robbery, even petty theft was forbidden. Some refugees who wanted to make a small fortune in the chaos were taken out by these guys, and they were whipped with big sticks on the spot. Blood dripping.
The days when Baokang County was occupied. It was the most peaceful day in Baokang County. This kind of contrast made Wu Ci'an feel a little ridiculous.
The yamen servants in the county yamen can act as usual, even though they still wear knives. Wearing iron rulers and chains, these robbers ignored them at all, and Baokang was as calm as if nothing had happened, of course, except for the bloodstains that had not been cleaned up on the street. That night, the resisting Hejian soldiers were either killed or captured. The dead had been buried, but the living prisoners never came back after they were taken out of the city. It is unknown where they went.
"These bandits have better military discipline than the soldiers of Hejian County!" This was reported to him by Wu Gang who had just returned from the street. They were not given back their weapons, but each carried a stick and went on patrol.
"How did the people in the city react?" Wu Ci'an asked.
"The door has been closed for a few days, but what should I do now? The shops are also open for business. Those robbers eat in the restaurant and still pay for it!" Wu Gang felt a little emotional, and he was also at a loss. .
Wu Ci'an couldn't figure it out, so he didn't bother to think about it. If these people really want to occupy Baokang City, it might not be surprising to do so. If they kill everyone and rob them, what can they do if they occupy an empty city ?
"What are they busy with?" The "them" Wu Ci'an mentioned naturally refers to the leaders of these bandits.
"Leading their army to strengthen the city defense, cavalry come in and out from time to time, it seems that they are sentry, I guess, they are preparing to deal with the counterattack of Yan Junshou." Wu Gang said.
When mentioning Yan Shenghao, the governor of Hejian County, Wu Ci'an fell silent. The governor of Yan didn't know the details here. Unusually, the fairly elite soldiers of Hejian County were beaten into a pile of mud without even making it through the night after breaking through the city.
"Uncle, what should we do?" Glancing at the two clay sculptures behind Wu Ci'an, Wu Gang was weeping. Back in Baokang, one of the two helped the evildoers, and the charge of colluding with bandits would not escape.
Wu Ci'an knew what his nephew was worried about, so why didn't he think about it? How can he not know what kind of person Yan Junshou is, but right now, he is stuck, so he can only take one step at a time. m
"Don't think so much, just ask for peace of mind!" Wu Ci'an patted Wu Gang on the shoulder, "If we don't cooperate, the people in this city don't know what will happen. Look, the current situation Tranquility is the best compliment to us, even if we have any accidents in the future, we are worthy of heaven and earth.”
There was the special ding-ding sound of the iron-footed general walking outside, Wu Ci'an shuddered in his heart, and said to his nephew: "Go, take your people to patrol well, and keeping one side safe will be considered as due diligence. I have done my duty.”
Wu Gang agreed, got up and left, and passed by the infantry who stepped into the lobby. Look at the feet. It's hard to believe that such a **** is surprisingly good at equestrian skills and with perfect arrow skills. Wu Gang knew this because he had seen this man draw his bow and shoot his arrow that night, and no one came alive under the arrow.
"Master Wu!" The infantryman ignored Wu Gang, but saluted Wu Ci'an with a smile on his face.
"The infantry general is here, do you have any orders?" Wu Ci'an stood up.
"It's a little embarrassing to say it!" The infantry smiled, "We came in a hurry, the military rations are not enough, although we have some money, but it's not easy to go to the shops on the street to buy in large quantities , you also know that these shops are for the people in the city. If we do this, the price of food will be raised, which will make the people suffer. So, I want to tell you that the people in the city treasury Food, we have to move some away."
Listen to the infantry. Wu Ci'an really felt a little boring, and the Baokang treasury was under the control of these people. If they wanted to get food, why would they come here to talk nonsense? "The grain depot is already under the control of your army. Why bother?"
"This is not the same." The infantry said: "How much grain is there in the grain depot. It is accounted for, our army's military supply. It is also accounted for. Although the matter is in a hurry, there should be procedures. It should be there." He took out a piece of paper from his pocket, "This is an IOU I wrote to my lord. When our military rations arrive, I will return them to the grain depot."
Looking at the IOU, Wu Ci'an blinked, and the feeling of absurdity in his heart became stronger and stronger, as if he and the other party were in the same group, but they belonged to different systems. extraordinary.
Seeing that Wu Ci'an accepted the IOU noncommittally. The infantryman smiled and said: "Master Wu has already collected it. When I pay back the food in a few days, I will have to take back the IOU."
"Don't worry, general!" Since the other party wants to take off their pants and fart like this, no matter what their reasons are. Wu Ci'an has decided to remain unchanged in response to all changes.
"Master Wu, these days, Baokang City is as peaceful as ever, and you have made great contributions. Speaking of which, Master Wu is really highly respected in Baokang City. The day after the city was broken, there was a panic in the city. But as soon as your Announcement came out, the whole city immediately calmed down, which is amazing.”
"I don't think it's highly respected, it's just that I've lived here longer and know more people!" Wu Ci'an said calmly.
"That's a good saying, familiar!" The infantry laughed loudly, "I heard that Mr. Wu didn't even return home these days, and stayed in the county government all the time. He really is a model of diligence and love for the people!"
"It's not that I don't want to go back, it's that you two subordinates have done their duty. Even when I go to the latrine, I have to follow one of them. What's the matter with me taking these two home? I slept with my wife." I don't want these two burly men standing in front of the bed!" Wu Ci'an looked coldly.
The infantry was stunned, then laughed loudly, pointing to the two soldiers behind Wu Ci'an, "You two boys, why are you so stubborn, you are here to protect Master Wu's safety, Master Wu is not us It is not a prisoner, but our companions! This is not allowed in the future."
"I'm not your companion!" Wu Ci'an immediately sternly refused.
"Master Wu, please don't say that. Who among the people in the city don't know that Master Wu is with us?" Do you think? Whether you like it or not, the fact is already like this."
Wu Ci'an was angry and impatient, but he had nothing to say. The facts were like this. When he thought of this, his face turned livid. He could not argue with this matter. He thought helplessly, no matter what In this way, his reputation is completely ruined. Even if the governor of Yan County forgives his difficulties in the future, he will never use a guy like himself who joins with thieves again.
He sighed silently.
Regret? No!
Gongsun Yi hurried in and trotted in, "General, the cavalry patrol caught a man outside."
"Is it from Baokang City? We don't prohibit people from the city from going out. How did you arrest this person?"
"Yes. It belongs to Qian Kun, a wealthy gentry in the city. Our army can't forbid people in the city to go out. Originally, we thought about the need for exchanges between the inside and outside of the city, and some living supplies needed to be brought in from outside the city, but this person After leaving the city, he traveled all the way, and his whereabouts were sneaky, our sentry cavalry captured him fifty miles away."
"Oh, fifty miles away ~IndoMTL.com~ Is there anything to gain?"
"Look at the infantry general!" Gongsun Yi took out a small brass pipe from his arms and handed it to the infantry.
Open the copper pipe, pour out a roll of paper from inside, unfold it, and the infantryman can't help but sneer, "Not bad, not bad, how many cavalry and how many infantry are there in our army? City defense, I also guessed it by trying to occupy Baokang, um, County Magistrate Wu, come and see, in this letter, you are our accomplice!"
The infantryman handed the letter to Wu Ci'an, watching the county magistrate's eyes blaze. "The one who cleans up cleans himself!" He threw the roll of letter paper on the desk.
The infantry stood up amidst laughter, "Arrest this Qian Kun, put him on the tower, behead his head, ransack the house of the Qian family, confiscate all the property, and confiscate the rest of the Qian family, etc., and send him to hard labor." !”
"Understood!" Gongsun Yi turned around and strode away.
"Magistrate Wu, we have the heart of a bodhisattva, but we also have the means of thunderbolt. You should tell people who have the same thoughts, don't try your own sword!"
