"Master Magistrate, you have to make the decision for my Deng family in this matter! Those Green Forest Army soldiers are so brave, they even dare to touch our people!"
The Mingzhou government office was brightly lit at night, and Zhou Zhiyuan, the prefect of the first state, was sitting at the top with an ugly face, listening to the cries of the people below.
The man was all dressed up, and his face was white and rich. When he cried, his whole body trembled unconsciously. He looked very much like the pig that specialized in providing meat for people, and he was the stupidest kind.
However, stupid pigs also have their uses. This stupid pig’s daughter and son are even more aware of current affairs, so Zhou Zhiyuan quickly smiled and said:
"This government knows that Bao Hu and others were killed by the Green Forest Army. You must feel uncomfortable except for Deng. But according to the two people who came back, Bao Hu and others also fought to the death and almost wiped out each other."
Deng Bing, who was crying and complaining passionately, raised his head and looked at the prefect in front of him with a somewhat aggrieved look, obviously waiting for the other party's next words.
And Zhou Zhiyuan didn't intend to disappoint him, so he quickly relaxed and said:
"This office believes that Bao Hu and his party were very heroic in fighting against the Green Forest Army and killing the bandit leader Lin Xiong. You, the Deng family, as their trainers, also contributed a lot. It just so happened that our office intended to use this matter to summon Song Yichun. This is what I said. Let your Deng family send someone to handle it."
"What the prefect means is..."
Deng Bing's eyes flashed with gold, while Zhou Zhiyuan, who was in charge, said calmly:
"After all, we are helping the people of Qingquan fight against the Green Forest Army. Qingquan County must give Bao Hu and others an explanation, right? At least how to bury a few heroes, or provide support to their families..."
Zhou Zhiyuan felt that he had made it very clear. As long as Deng Bing was not a fool, he would have understood what he meant.
As expected, Deng Bingdang nodded and said:
"What the prefect said is true, then I would like to ask you to send a few capable government servants and an adult with strong martial arts to accompany us. Our third child is very good at this!"
As a father, he felt heartbroken when he thought of the expression on his third son's face this morning when he learned that the beauty had not been intercepted but Bao Hu and others were gone.
You must know how tempted the father and son were when Bao Hu sent a portrait from Qingquan County that day and said that the beauty was not only beautiful, but also a rare miracle doctor.
Where can I find this beautiful woman?
As long as you have power and money, it only takes a matter of minutes to get what you want!
But this woman who is not only beautiful but also has medical skills is different...
She is hard to come by!
Once you ask for it, you must hold it firmly in your hand!
He had already thought about it. Since the third child liked the girl so much and the girl was capable, he would make an exception and let the third child accept her.
Although she was already a ruined woman who had been married before, she could still be a concubine.
With the same imagination as Deng Binghua'er, Zhou Zhiyuan above also nodded in agreement, and even immediately nodded to Sanqi who was standing in the hall to accompany him.
After watching Deng Bing and Sanqi leave, Zhou Zhiyuan raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, then turned to look at the young man in blue who came out of the back hall. His son Zhou Xun said:
"Didn't you go with Deng Chaodong and others to the camp in the western suburbs to recruit troops? When did you come back?"
"just."
Walking up to his father, Zhou Xun, who looked rather bookish, said:
"Father, what's going on with Wu Kui and the others? Why are they attacking our people? Didn't we have an agreement with them long ago not to attack each other recently?"
"So what if it's made an agreement? If it's made an agreement, can't it be changed?"
Zhou Zhiyuan sneered, his son was still too naive, did he really think they could order General Wu Kui and Wu?
As a former colleague, he knew that person's character very well.
"You mean they want to betray their trust? But aren't we both members of that lord's family?"
Zhou Xun asked with some displeasure.
Deng Chaodong and his younger brother Deng Baochang often fawned over him, and he asked his father for the errands of Bao Hu and others.
Now that that group of people is gone, where can he put his face as a prefect?
However, facing his son's displeasure, Zhou Zhiyuan just smiled and said:
"These brothers have to settle accounts openly, and competition among colleagues is naturally inevitable. The task of the Green Forest Army is to confuse those poor people, make them hate the princess above them more and more, and create a bigger rebellion that can pull her down. .
Do you think this is easy? No, those poor people won't believe you if you don't have enough chips. "
Zhou Xun was silent, but Zhou Zhiyuan’s teaching became more and more attentive:
"They need merit to gain a foothold in Qingquan. Once they have established a foothold, they can make the people of Qingquan no longer trust Song Yichun so much, and thus push Song Yichun, a bad guy, to the edge of the cliff step by step."
"You mean that only if Song Yichun is forced hard will he join the Green Forest Army, or is it to protect the poor people in Qingquan that he will join the army to respect himself?"
The displeasure on his face gradually dissipated, and Zhou Xun finally came to his senses and began to think:
"So you asked Deng Baochang, a man who is accustomed to bullying others and who has a big grudge against Song Yichun and the others, to go to Qingquan to spread the word, just to continue to stimulate Song Yichun?"
Zhou Zhiyuan smiled and said nothing, but his eyes said that he could be taught.
While the government office in Mingzhou was in turmoil, the other four counties in Mingzhou were also quietly undergoing changes.
"Boss, the people in the capital have already set off. According to their current speed, we still have about a month to prepare. Let's join forces, it's almost time."
In Linshui County's government office, where the Green Forest Army is now located, a group of burly men were leaning over to beg for orders, looking with blazing eyes at the middle-aged man sitting on the main seat, who had a body like a tall tower and eyes like copper bells.
If Zhou Zhiyuan and his son were here, they would definitely recognize this man as the Wu Kui they called, the general of the Green Forest Army who led hundreds of Green Forest Army troops into Mingzhou and beheaded corrupt officials and cruel officials for the people.
Today, he summoned everyone under his command here to discuss the important matter of the Green Forest Army integrating the army and officially occupying the territory of Mingzhou.
Regardless of the fact that they are now supported by the people in the four counties of Mingzhou, they seem to have occupied most of Mingzhou.
But in fact, there are still a few people in each county who are really willing to follow them and support them to directly dominate the county.
And what can a group of unintegrated rabble accomplish?
Once the imperial troops responsible for suppressing them arrive, they may not even be able to resist, let alone rebel!
Looking at the weathered faces in front of him but full of fighting spirit, Wu Kui finally smiled and said:
"Second order, all members of our Green Forest Army will be mobilized from tomorrow, starting from Jinshui County at our feet, to officially occupy half of Mingzhou! In addition, we will continue to send people to Qingquan County to educate the people, and we must let more people join our team! "
"yes!"
With the issuance of this order, the four counties of Mingzhou that had just stabilized once again became turbulent.
Some of the people who did not want to join the rebel team, let alone be affected by the war, also packed up their baggage and began to flee to Qingquan County, the only place that was peaceful and did not restrict the access of people from all over the country.
