The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

　　 The four simple side dishes, although they are not delicious, but they are the most delicious for hungry people on the road.

　　 Before eating, Xiao Rui threw a piece of silver to the tavern guy. The guy thanked him so much and immediately became diligent.

　　 "I want to ask you something. The answer pleases me. Have you seen it? This silver is also yours." Xiao Rui put another broken silver on the table.

　　 The man nodded and bowed, and asked, "Guest, please tell me, as long as I know it, I will never hide it. This money is a magical baby that can let the little ghost let go."

　　 Xiao Rui asked: "I heard that there was a group of bandits outside Qiuyang County who did cutting paths? Your county magistrate contacted the local united soldiers, and repeatedly encircled and suppressed them without destroying them?"

　　 "Guest, are you from another place?" The guy hesitated and asked.

　　 Xiao Rui smiled and said, "Yeah, what's the matter, isn't it convenient to say? We passed by here, worrying not to run into it."

The man said: "There is such a group of bandits who rob past vendors and pedestrians on the official road, and even capture wealthy businessmen to extort money, causing the people to complain, but they are hiding in the dense forest to the west of the county. Adding some other reasons, it is late. It's impossible to encircle and suppress it later."

　　 Xiao Rui’s chopsticks stopped. He and Zhuge Liuying looked at each other. It seemed that this bandit thing was still tricky.

　　 "What are the other reasons?" Xiao Rui asked.

　　 The guy smirked and said, "I am a humble person, and I don’t know where I am."

　　 Xiao Rui took out another piece of broken silver and put it on the table.

　　 Buddy still hesitated.

　　 Xiao Rui didn't say anything, put a piece of silver, and then said: "If you don't say anything, I will ask other people, and I believe they will tell me."

The guy hurriedly scraped away the broken silver with his hands, and whispered: "The three guest officials, it's not that the villain does not say, but that they are afraid to make a mistake and cause the disaster. Since the distinguished guest is a foreigner, what can I say? His mouth only enters your ears."

Speaking of this, the guy whispered: "There are rumours in the county that there is someone behind the bandits who cut the path, and the master of the county is supporting them. If this is the case, who can you say that the bandits can be killed? Right, three. Dear guest."

　　 "Indeed, it is definitely indestructible." Xiao Rui squinted his eyes and asked, "But which master is backing me?"

　　 "I really don't know this." Seeing Xiao Rui shaking the silver again, the guy waved his hand and said, "The villain wants silver, but he can't slander him. I really don't know."

　　 Xiao Rui threw the silver to him, knowing that he really didn't know.

　　 The man thanked him for a thousand graces, and the three chatted carefully.

　　 "If there are yamen backing up and reporting the news, this group of bandits will indeed have no fear. If we want to destroy them, we need to plan carefully." Xiao Rui laughed and said, "Even, we have to pull out the big malignant tumor of the yamen."

　　 Zhuge Liuying said angrily: "You dare to get along with your imperial salaries, **** it. Xiao Rui, you have a lot of ghost ideas, what do you think we should do first?"

　　 Xiao Rui rolled his eyes. There are so many ghost ideas. Are we familiar? Haven't taken a bath together, do you know me that way?

"Look up tomorrow to see if you can find the person behind the bandits. It's best to find out. If you don't find out, we will destroy the bandits." Xiao Rui said, "We should be able to kill a small bandit gang if we take action. From their mouths, it should be possible to ask who is behind the scenes."

　　 "No problem, I will hold the line for you." Zhuge Liuying was confident.

　　 After eating, the three of them found an inn to rest.

　　 The next day, the three of them wandered around in the county to find out the details of the yamen and the bandits, but as the pub guy yesterday said, it was just a rumor. No one dared to say which master of the yamen colluded with the bandits. As to whether this rumor is true or not, it remains to be confirmed.

　　 What Xiao Rui did not expect was that Qiuyang County's magistrate, county prime minister, chief boss, and county lieutenant were all at odds with each other. Heh, the county magistrate couldn't control the small county town, and lost his identity. However, when I learned that the county magistrate was about 60 years old and was about to be an official, there was more than enough energy but there was a reason.

　　 The Emperor Xia stipulated that civil servants should pay 60 times, and military officers can postpone it to sixty-five. If they are reused, they can be used separately.

　　 The bandits behind the scenes could not be found, but the gangs in Qiuyang County knew it immediately.

The county magistrate is old and is already a polished commander. The county prime minister began to dominate. Bo and the county lieutenant team competed with him. According to the promotion system of the Great Xia Kingdom, the county magistrate retired in middle counties like Qiuyang County. As long as the imperial examinations of replenishing fresh officials are not encountered, as long as the operation is carried out, it is basically the county prince or the leader of the promotion.

　　 Xiao Rui and Zhuge Liuying found no results in their investigations, so there was no delay. They left the city in the afternoon to look for the bandits’ den.

　　 To the west of Qiuyang County is an undulating mountain range with a range of about ten kilometers. Although the mountains are not as steep as the north, they are mostly earthy mountains, but the vegetation is lush and suitable for hiding. The official road happened to pass through the mountains, which provided convenience for the bandits to cut the path.

　　 Xiao Rui, Zhuge Liuying, and Wu Zhanfa came to the outskirts of the mountain range. There were two methods before them. One was to search the mountain. Although the range of the mountain range was small, it was still very difficult to find the bandits’ den.

The second one is to wait for the rabbits. People in Qiuyang County said that this official road connects north and south, and is the only official road. So in the past, there were more merchants and merchants~www.wuxiahere.com~ so bandits cut their trails frequently, almost I will do it every three or five days.

　　 Nowadays, many vendors have joined forces and hired security guards to dare to pass. Even so, many passers-by who were unfamiliar with the situation here were arrested and extorted for money.

　　 The last time the bandits cut the trail, it was about three days ago.

　　 So Xiao Rui speculated that the bandits would not wait long to cut the path this time, so Xiao Rui prepared to stand by and wait.

　　 As expected, a group of people slowly entered the official road at midday the next day. When they walked to the center of the mountain range, a dozen bandits suddenly rushed out of the dense forest trail outside the official road and directly stopped the pedestrian.

　　 Xiao Rui and Zhuge Liuying hid in the dark, naturally witnessing everything.

　　 More than a dozen bandits are young and middle-aged. The leader is a one-eyed middle-aged man wearing a green undershirt with a beard and extremely vicious face. At this time, the passengers on the carriage were pulling away and let them kneel on the ground.

　　 This pedestrian is a passenger, who seems to be visiting relatives, an old couple with a young girl, and an old servant driving a carriage, a middle-aged coachman carrying a carriage with luggage, a total of five people.

　　 Five people knelt on the ground and begged, three bandits looked at them, and the others searched for the suitcase on the carriage.

　　 "His Royal Highness, except for the one-eyed middle-aged man who is a first-rank martial artist, the other bandits are ordinary people and have some rough skills." Wu Zhanfa had a high vision and told Xiao Rui.

　　 Zhuge Liuying said: "I'm not mistaken, the highest grade is only one grade, the best for you to practice swordsmanship, and you have no compassion to kill them. Should we do it now, or go back to the nest with them?"

　　 Xiao Rui was about to speak, but when he saw that the bandits didn't find any gold or silver, he was annoyed. The one-eyed middle-aged man even carried a knife and walked towards the tourist who was kneeling on the ground.
