Back Off, Let Me Come

When the servants went back and forth to report, Wu Yuan secretly said, "There is a tacit understanding." These people took the initiative to come to the door and saved him a lot of trouble. Unexpectedly, when I met the people, I realized that all of them were either crying or unhappy, as if their ancestral graves had been torn clean by someone.

Wu Yuan's heart skipped a beat when he saw this. He couldn't help but wonder in his mind what kind of medicine these people were selling, so he made enough mental preparations for himself in advance. He was about to say a few words of greeting, and at the same time, he would like to remind these people not to come here and cause trouble for him.

Before the manuscript even started, one of them was already aggrieved with tears in his eyes. He came forward to express his grievances and hoped that the county government could lend him someone to them.

Wu Yuan still didn't know what happened.

He only heard the word "borrower".

He then said: "Borrowing someone? You all know the current situation. The rebels are watching eagerly outside the city. We have reached the predicament of having a sword hanging on our necks. The troops in the city dare not slack off for a moment. Borrowing someone... I must not be willing to do so. It is really necessary." There is no shortage of manpower..."

To deal with this kind of "borrower", the best way is to "repay others in kind". Wu Yuan changed his embarrassed expression and sighed: "I'm ashamed to say that, last night I was still thinking about whether I should have the audacity to borrow the private department of your house from you..."

As he said this, he rolled his eyes in his heart.

The fool thought with his toes and knew that the elite private subordinates of these family gentry had already escorted the master's family out of Xiaocheng, leaving only crooked melons and cracked dates. Sent to the battlefield, the damage is better than scraping. It simply brings warmth, death and military merit to the enemy.

Wu Yuan never counted on these people.

As soon as he said this, everyone who came to the door looked at each other.

At this time, one of them stood up covering his bruised eyes. Wu Yuan took a closer look and almost lost control of his expression and burst into laughter. But I have been very good at managing my expressions for many years, so I held it back, and even showed some "heartfelt" concern when I stepped forward to ask him.

"What-what's wrong with you?"

Half of his sleeves were burned to ashes, most of his goatee was gone, and there was a big bruise on his right eye socket. If you look closely, you will also find that the bridge of his nose is more skewed than before, and the root of his nose is slightly green, which is more pitiful and pitiful.

Wu Yuan was shocked in his heart - you must know that this is Xiaocheng, and these family gentry who are rooted here are the local snakes! Even if the rebels come to the city, no one will provoke them without opening their eyes. What happened to them, how could they be in such a mess?

The middle-aged man in question wiped away tears with half of his burnt sleeves and cried out what had happened - at midnight last night, a group of thugs took advantage of their weak defense and rushed into their tribe's land to plunder and plunder, injuring dozens of servants. Guard, and then walk away!

Wu Yuan said in horror: "Mob?"

The middle-aged man replied: "Yes, they are all mobs."

Wu Yuan looked at the others again: "What about you?"

Others: "Same thing."

"almost."

Wu Yuan then asked: "So - you come to report to the official?"

The middle-aged man put away his crying expression, wiped the remaining tears from the corners of his eyes, and twirled his half-scorched beard: "That's right. We are also aware of the county's difficulties, but the losses this time are huge. If we can't catch that gang, "The mob', how can I have the face to gain a foothold in Xiaocheng and Sibao County in the future! Please give us justice, and we must let the lawbreakers be punished!"

The corner of Wu Yuan's mouth twitched and he said to himself, "How can you old guys have such a shameful thing?" No matter how much he disliked it in his heart, he still couldn't show it on the surface. He said: "Everyone, please listen to me. It's not just because I don't want to, it's because..."

He still wanted to use the lack of manpower as an excuse.

Where can I help them solve the case and catch the thief at this time?

They also said they were a mob and successfully robbed their property. To be able to do this, there will definitely be many people involved, and there should be brave warriors who are not weak in strength. How can he capture them?

The middle-aged man took a deep breath.

Asked Wu Yuan: "So you don't agree?"

Wu Yuan raised his eyebrows: "What are you talking about? What do you mean by unwillingness? The relationship between you and me is like lips and teeth. Lips are dead and teeth are cold! But I am really powerless. I can't allocate the soldiers on the city wall who are dealing with the enemy to deal with this matter. Bar?"

The middle-aged man snorted coldly.

Asked Wu Yuan: "Do you know what was robbed?"

The more Wu Yuan listened, the more he felt that there was something in this man's words, and he felt a little angry. Just because he is easy to talk to on the surface does not mean that these people can really get into trouble. So, the response was a bit tougher and asked: "If you don't tell me, how will I know?"

The middle-aged man stared at Wu Yuan's face for a moment, not wanting to miss any strange expression, and said with a strange look, "It's food!"

Wu Yuan's voice suddenly rose: "Food?"

How could it be such a coincidence?

He was determined to "borrow food", but their food was intercepted by the "mob". Wu Yuan couldn't help but glance at everyone with suspicious eyes. He was secretly worried that they had placed eyes and ears around him, and these eyes and ears were still people he quite trusted.

The people in front of him didn't want to "borrow", so they staged a drama of "mobs intercepting food" and even ran to him to cry.

Wu Yuanxin's face turned green and pale.

He was already worried that his identity would be exposed.

If so——

He lowered his eyelids calmly, suppressing the murderous intent in his eyes.

I'm afraid I can't keep this person in front of me!

The middle-aged man was not aware of his dangerous situation. His fingers were trembling with anger, and his back molars were grinding loudly. He said in a weird voice: "Yes. Not only my family, but also all the granaries present were attacked by 'mobs'! This is unavoidable" What a coincidence! How could a group of 'mobs' know the location of each family's granary? How could they move so quickly without unified command and dispatch?"

This time I came not only to recover losses from the "borrower", but also to test the situation. After all, the county government, which was extremely short of food, was also highly suspected.

Wu Yuanyin had a sullen face.

For the first time in my life, I was suspected of being a thief.

"You guys, tell me what you want to say, don't beat around the bush! If you say something that doesn't sit well with you, what does the life and death of Xiaocheng have to do with me? It doesn't matter if the rebels surrender as soon as the city gate is opened, but it is related to your personal fortune and the life of the whole family! On the county side, even if there is a shortage of food and people, it will not bother you, right? You are indiscriminately and roguely framed, which is really chilling! "

Although Wu Yuan is still young, he is a bit timid when he gets angry, and his attitude is even more open and aboveboard.

For a moment everyone looked at each other and couldn't make up their minds.

He didn't dare to really anger Wu Yuan. It really annoyed people. They didn't say anything about Kaicheng surrender, so they really had no place to cry.

The middle-aged man spoke to comfort him.

"Wu Lang, please calm down, that's not what I meant. It's really because the loss was too great that I lost my temper... Please forgive me."

After saying that, he bowed his head to the end.

Wu Yuan could only reluctantly soften his expression and walked down the steps.

The two sides can't quarrel just yet.

So, everyone takes a step back.

Wu Yuan wrote a few bad checks and promised to send someone to keep an eye on the whereabouts of the "mob" and let him know as soon as there was news - after all, there was such a "mob" who could rob various granaries and walk away. "Power, Wu Yuan is not at ease.

Is this different from an enemy sleeping on a hanging beam in a bedroom?

How old do you have to be to fall asleep?

After finally getting rid of these people, Wu Yuan became angrier as he thought about it.

Wu Yuan received everyone, and Gu Chi was also listening in the back hall, separated only by a screen. As soon as they left, he walked out of the back hall, his brows still furrowed tightly, making his already gloomy and weak face look even more gloomy. His ideas were partly consistent with Wu Yuan's.

These family gentlemen came prepared!

Wu Yuan looked in the direction of the door with a gloomy face, put down the teacup with a snap, and asked, "Mr. Gu, what do you think of this matter?"

Gu Chi said: "The timing is too coincidental."

Wu Yuan asked again: "Mr. Gu also suspects that there is a mole?"

Gu Chi was about to answer "yes\

,"At this time, the voice belonging to Gong Cheng was approaching - although his voice did not have a logical and complete expression, judging from the fleeting short sentences, Gong Cheng was in a very good mood at this time - ten sentences, five compliments The wife's brother is so brave, wise, smart and decisive. The remaining five sentences are all about praising his uncle as a strong man, how powerful he is, and how he resembles his second uncle!

Gu Chi was speechless.

After spending so much time with Gong Cheng, it is rare to hear this former favorite of heaven praise anyone from the bottom of his heart, as he becomes increasingly silent. Even towards Wu Yuan, Gong Cheng's feelings were mostly gratitude, or guilt that he was a burden to Wu Yuan.

Such generous praise?

Wu Yuan hasn't received this kind of treatment yet.

Thinking of this, he looked at Wu Yuan with a hint of pity and sympathy in his eyes - he didn't know what Wu Yuan would think if he knew about it?

The only person Gu Chi heard was Gong Cheng, but five people came in after Tong Bing. The other four were Shen Tang, Chu Yao, Qi Shan and Gong Shuwu. When Gu Chi saw this, he sneered inwardly, very unhappy that he was being targeted in this way.

Stingy, won't listen to your thoughts at all.

As soon as Gong Cheng came in, he said: "Wengzhi, great news!"

Wu Yuan softened his expression when he came in.

He picked up the tea and asked puzzledly: "Where does happiness come from?"

He struggled all night before making a decision, but he was stillborn and was framed by a group of people in a weird way.

The bad luck is all bad.

Gong Cheng smiled and said, "Weng Zhi, why don't you take a guess?"

Wu Yuandao: "The rebels outside the city were killed by a thief star descending from the sky?"

Gong Cheng shook his head: "How is this possible?"

If another thief star comes to the world, it can still destroy tens of thousands of people. With the distance between the rebel camp and Xiaocheng, how can Xiaocheng be peaceful? Gong Cheng immediately stopped pretending and revealed the answer happily: "The supply of food and fodder for the garrison defending the city has been solved!"

After that, he smiled and sat down and poured himself a glass of water.

Before he could even take his cup of tea, Wu Yuan spurted it out, choking and coughing. The latter seemed to have thought of something. Huo Di stood up from where he was, looked at Gong Cheng in horror, and asked: "What do you mean about food and grass???"

Good guy——

The family gentry was robbed of the granary by the "mob", and the food problem of the garrison in the city was solved. Even a fool could figure out that there was some connection between the two. What's more, Wu Yuan thought of a possibility and asked: "What happened last night?" 'mob'……"

Gong Cheng: "Don't worry, Weng Zhi, your hands and feet are very clean."

Wu Yuan's head was buzzing.

This matter was actually done by Gong Cheng?

In this case, the group of people in the morning did not accuse him unjustly.

wrong--

There was no joy on Wu Yuan's face, but instead there was a hint of gloominess - Gong Cheng acted without his consent at all, and did it without even informing him? This realization made Wu Yuan feel a little unhappy in his heart, like a lump in his throat.

Even Gong Cheng is not good at making opinions.

Gu Chi was speechless and choked at first, then turned his attention to Shen Tang, who had been sitting silently and obediently - Mr. Shen!

He knows much more inside information than Wu Yuan.

Aside from other things, let’s just say that Gong Cheng’s education would have prevented him from doing such a deviant, deviant, and shameless thing.

This is so shameless!

But Shen Tang is different.

Shen Lang acted out of line and was always unexpected. He was surrounded by conspirators like Chu Wuhui and Qi Yuanliang who indulged (helped) tolerate (Zhou) and did nothing (wei) and punished (abuse), and powerful warriors like Gong Shuwu, who were not even as strong as themselves. Common... Haha, the case has been solved.

Before Wu Yuan could ask, Gu Chi brought the topic to Shen Tang and asked with a smile: "Is this Mr. Shen's masterpiece?"

Shen Tang asked, "So what?"

With Gu Chi's reminder, Wu Yuan suddenly understood.

He stood up, bowed his head solemnly, and said sincerely: "Wu is here to thank the tens of thousands of people in Xiaocheng for their heroic deeds."

Shen Tang: "Thank you for what? I'm just 'borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha'."

Anyway, what was taken out was other people’s food.

To put it more simply - those who eat thieves don't feel bad.

Wu Yuandao: "A strong man is righteous."

After some business exchanges, everyone took their seats.

Wu Yuan looked curious and said bluntly: "There is one more thing that I don't know about Wu. How did you intercept the granary?"

In fact, he wanted to ask Shen Tang how a few people avoided his hands and committed such a big case! He didn't know anything about such a big event happening in the territory he controlled. It was really a slap in the face, and it also put Wu Yuansheng in a bit of crisis.

If Shen Tang's target was not the granary but him, wouldn't he have died in a daze?

This is what Wu Yuan is most taboo about.

But Shen Tang couldn't hear the underlying sound.

In other words, Shen Tang subconsciously did not place Wu Yuan as an equal opponent, so he naturally did not think about how to kill him.

Shen Tang took a sip of tea to moisten his throat - he stayed up all night again last night and was feeling a little angry now.

"It's not because we are stronger." She paused and said with disdain, "It's obvious that they are too weak and undefended, with almost no decent defense and counterattack. At first, I thought it was a scam."

Wu Yuan asked again: "The person pretending to be a 'mob'..."

If Gong Cheng goes beyond him and mobilizes people to do things without informing him, he should carefully consider whether Gong Cheng can still use this card - who can use this kind of subordinate with confidence?

Shen Tang replied: "It's not disguised."

"no?"

Shen Tang: "They are the 'mob'."

To be precise, it was the thugs that Shen Tang bought in exchange for ten kilograms of grain.

The lower-class slums of Xiaocheng are full of cheap labor, and everyone is so hungry that they risk their lives just for a bite to eat.

For them, whose rice vat has bottomed out and even rats don’t visit, ten kilograms of grain is really a windfall!

It's worth taking a little risk.

They are responsible for confusing the enemy's sight, but what really matters is the manpower arranged by one's own side - it must be said that high-level brave warriors are really good, and one person can be used as a leader for hundreds of people.

Shen Tang also began to look forward to his courage.

Bring hundreds of boys with you when you go out!

It's cool and grand!

Ah, the second day after the cat came to the house.

I took him out in the afternoon and had my nails trimmed. The cat was too sharp and his hands were scratched yesterday. Although he had been vaccinated and he was a domestic cat, I still wanted to be on the safe side. I went to get a rabies vaccine in the afternoon (I have to complain, in the past there were two rabies vaccines). One injection is more than 100, and now four or five injections are given in one course of treatment, totaling 600 to 700.)

Today I got to know my home a little better and started to become more lively.

Wow, I am really happy to have a cat.

Although it still refused to let me touch it, when I was typing at night, it would sit on the hollow cabinet at its feet, looking at me eagerly, and stayed there for more than four hours.
