Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    At dawn, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

    No matter how bold the gangsters are, they would not dare to go ashore and rob in broad daylight.

    Officials from all walks of life rushed back to the government office to report to the prefect that they were safe.

    "Thanks to the master's command and strict defense, we were able to frighten the thieves!"

    "Sure enough, those who are good at fighting have no great achievements."

    "It is really a great blessing for the people of Suzhou to have the protection of the government!"

    "Now is not the time to sing praises." Cai Guoxi felt refreshed after listening to the flood of flattery, and felt that all the fatigue in his body had been swept away.  He ordered Zhang Tongpan to send a boat camp to Xishan to investigate and make sure to find out where the mysterious fleet came from.

    Judge Zhang Tong hurriedly responded in a deep voice, and Liu Tuiguan from the mansion quickly walked in.

    "Prefect, urgent report from Kunshan County!" Liu Tuiguan presented an official letter with three red chicken feathers attached to it to the magistrate.

    Looking at the urgent letter, Magistrate Cai quickly tore off the paint and took out the letter paper to take a look.

    The officials saw that the face of the governor changed several times, and then they called out to Zhang Tongpan.

    ¡°There¡¯s no need to go.¡±

    "What?" Zhang Tongpan turned around in confusion.

    "The people in Dasheng Bay are not water bandits."

    ¡°That is?¡± all the officials asked in unison.

    ¡°The Gunners of Kunshan County.¡±

    Magistrate Cai handed the letter to Wang Tongzhi who was standing aside, and all the officials gathered to watch.

    I saw an official document from Kunshan County saying that the day before yesterday, I was shocked to learn that the county¡¯s disaster relief grain and the people who transported it were robbed by water bandits, and they required a ransom to be paid within three days, otherwise they would be killed.

    Because when the news reached the county, it was already the next day, and there was no time to wait for instructions from the government.  Zhao Zhixian had no choice but to report the matter and send a gunman battalion to organize the rescue

    ??~~

    Yang Chenglin, the magistrate of Wu County, looked unhappy at that time.

    Xishan is under the jurisdiction of Wu County. He didn't even know that there were water bandits.  Moreover, Kunshan County enforced cross-border law enforcement, which was a slap in the face of Yang Zhixian, both positive and negative.

    ¡°Moreover, Zhao Shouzheng, the magistrate of Kunshan County, was supposed to succeed him in governing Wu County, but was forced to go to Kunshan by the officials and gentry in the city.

    "This makes Yang Zhixian not think too much. Is the person named Zhao deliberately coming to disgust me, or is he deliberately coming to disgust me?

    Knowing that those occupying Xishan were not water bandits, Magistrate Cai and others felt much more relaxed.

    "Although it is a false alarm, human life is at stake. It is better to believe that it exists than to believe that it does not exist."

    "Yes, this makes the government more mature and dignified! It is really a blessing to the people of Suzhou!"

    "Last night was just a rehearsal. If there is a real conspiracy in the future, I won't be in a hurry"

    "Okay, okay." Magistrate Cai raised his hand, signaling for the flattery to pause, and asked strangely: "Didn't you say that the bandit's nest is in Da Lei Island, why did he go to Xishan again?"

    As he spoke, he glanced at Yang Chenglin and said, "Xishan is your jurisdiction. Please ask Magistrate Yang to take someone to see what's going on. If the hostages haven't been rescued yet, please help."

    "This" Yang Zhixian felt disgusted in his heart.

    "I know you feel uncomfortable, but Taihu Lake is so big, and people didn't know that the bandit's nest must be in your jurisdiction before. Don't worry too much."

    Prefect Cai knows the details of Mr. Zhao better than the officials below.  Although I couldn't be friendly with him because of my sectarian opinions, I didn't want to offend this top scholar with a profound background.

    "As ordered." Yang Zhixian had no choice but to respond in a muffled voice.

    After successfully throwing the baggage to his subordinates, Magistrate Cai yawned and stood up and said, "It's all over now. Stop gossiping here."

    ??~~

    Yang Zhixian left the government office depressedly and rushed to the Xu River in a sedan chair.

    This is the difficulty of being the magistrate of Fuguo County. The magistrates of other counties all say that they are one hundred miles away.  But he was like an angry little daughter-in-law, who not only had to obey the rules, but also allowed her mother-in-law to run around in chaos.

    Wu County¡¯s gunner battalion was still patrolling along the river, so Yang Zhixian called Qiu Dianshi, who was responsible for anti-theft and public security, and took two hundred gunmen on five sand boats and rushed to Xishan.

    When we arrived at Dasheng Bay in the afternoon, we saw from a distance nearly fifty ships of various sizes moored at the pier.  You can still vaguely see people moving in the village.

    Yang Zhixian did not dare to approach rashly, so he ordered the boat to be unloaded and sent an officer to check first.

    While waiting for a reply, Qiu Dianshi asked Yang Zhixian.

    "Your Majesty, what are the regulations for you later?"

    "Let's see if it's those beggars from Kunshan first." Yang Chenglin sat on the top chair, shaking his fan with one hand and holding the teapot with the other.

    "If so, let himGet out of here, we'll take care of it.  In Wu County, when will it be the turn of beggars to run wild?  "

    "Understood." Qiu Dianshi nodded, excitedly gearing up.

    Most of the credit for suppressing bandits belongs to Wu County.

    ??~~

    After the meal, the official returned.

    "How is it?" Yang Zhixian closed the folding fan and asked the official who had just boarded the ship.

    "Go back to the lord, the bay is indeed Kunshan's gunman camp." The official replied hurriedly: "They have been on the island to suppress bandits for two days."

    "That's it." Yang Zhixian breathed a sigh of relief, now at least there was no danger.  Immediately he became very angry again, blowing his fan anxiously and asked:

    "Isn't it over yet?"

    "It is said that some water bandits took hostages and fled into the mountains. They are searching mountain after mountain."

    "Who is leading the team in Kunshan?" Qiu Dianshi asked in a deep voice.

    "It's said to be the yamen of Zhaozhi County."

    "Kunshan County is too trusting. Not even a serious official is here." Qiu Dianshi laughed and said, "Now we don't have to argue, let him get out of here."

    "Zhao Hao?" But Yang Zhixian's expression changed, and the frequency of fanning was obviously faster.

    "What's wrong with the county magistrate?" Qiu Dianshi couldn't help but be surprised.  "Is there something extraordinary in that office?"

    "No, it's nothing" Yang Zhixian covered the twitching corners of his mouth with a fan, and then ordered the official:

    "Go and ask if you need help? Be polite."

    "Uh" Qiu Dianshi and other officials stared at each other.

    Didn¡¯t you tell them to get out?  Why do you want to help others again?  Do you have to be polite?

    Yang Zhixian, however, had no intention of explaining. He was pacing back and forth on the deck with his hands behind his back, wondering what he was thinking about.

    After a while, the official came back to report:

    "They say we have enough manpower. If our county wants to help, please provide fruits, vegetables and meat for 900 people. They can pay double the price"

    "Uh, I understand." Yang Zhixian nodded as if he had eaten a fly, and then resolutely ordered to return.

    "Sir, isn't that just a government office? Is it so scary?" On the way back, Qiu Dianshi finally couldn't help but ask.

    "Old enemy, you should pay more attention to outside things in the future, and don't just stare at your one-third of an acre of land all day long." Yang Zhixian sighed and shook his head.

    He has heard of Zhao Hao¡¯s name for a long time.

    The youngest millionaire in the Ming Dynasty, the founder of science, a fifth-level Jinshi, lectured at Lingji Palace, and was awarded the Imperial Doctorate of Hanlin as a lecturer on Jingyan.

    The godson of the eldest princess, the teacher of three bachelors, the fig leaf of the Ming Dynasty poetry circle, the vice chairman of Xishan Company, the god who made Mr. Xiaoge kowtow and kneel down!

    There is nothing that a magistrate like him can offend

    Oh, by the way, Mr. Zhao is also the first human being to ascend to heaven.

    Who can resist this?

    ps. Second update.  It's probably due to the raw fish. Hey, I've been eating at home every day for the past few months, and I can't eat spicy food or raw food. I no longer have an iron stomach.  The third update hasn't been finished yet, so wait.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
