"What's going on here?"
Wu Dalang, who had prepared the cooking cakes to be sold today, had just packed up his burden and was preparing to go out in the courtyard. The cooking cakes had to be bought early. Those who were doing business outside the city came to the city when they were hungry.
"Open the door!"
There was a sudden knock on the far door, and there was the light of a torch outside the door, which frightened Wu Dalang.
"Who are you? It's not daylight yet!"
Wu Dalang shouted to the outside of the courtyard. He was a little scared and did not dare to open the door. Just now he vaguely heard the shouts of "thief" and "thief".
"Could it be that thieves have entered the city? This is the county seat!"
Wu Dalang was a little panicked. Wu Song was not at home at this time. If the thief really came, he would have nothing to do.
"Brother Wu, I am Wu Song's brother from Jianghu. I came to the city today to pay a special visit."
Sun Lei shouted outside the door.
"Erlang's brother?"
Wu Dalang felt a little more at ease now. His younger brother really liked to make friends with people in the world. There were so many people here but they didn't force the door open. Maybe he really meant no harm.
"My lords, Erlang is not here!"
Wu Dalang opened the door and saw the people outside holding fire, and said with a look of fear.
"Brother Wu, I am Sun Lei from Liangshan."
Sun Lei smiled and signed up.
"It turns out to be Brother Sun Lei. I often hear Erlang mention it, please come in quickly!"
When Wu Dalang heard Sun Lei's name, he immediately turned from worry to joy. After his brother came back, he mentioned this heroic brother from Liangshan many times, full of admiration. It must be someone who can make his brother, who has a higher vision than his parents, praise him so much. Waiting for a hero.
"Brother Wu, are you ready to show up?"
Sun Lei looked at the cake picker in the yard and asked with a smile.
"I made my brother laugh, and I'm getting ready to go out."
Wu Dalang smiled inappropriately, and in order to cover up his embarrassment, he kept wiping the flour on his hands with his apron.
"I came to Qinghe County today only to eliminate violence and provide justice, and I found out something by the way."
Sun Lei's house
"I didn't expect Liu Yuanwai to be so vicious. I almost lost my life at his hands! No wonder he wanted to buy my ancestral home again and again!"
Wu Dalang suddenly realized that Liu Yuanwai wanted to buy his ancestral home not once or twice.
"Thank you brother for saving me, thank you from Wuhan University!"
Wu Dalang immediately bowed down and thanked him.
"Wu Song and I hit it off immediately. He regards me as his elder brother. Naturally, I want to help him. But I have to plan for money matters in advance. It will always be a disaster!"
Sun Lei smiled and helped Wu Dalang up and said, "If you are not afraid of thieves, you are afraid of thieves. Today there will be Yuan Liu, and tomorrow there will be Yuan Zhang, and Yuan Song. If the Wu family is still like this, it will not be able to keep the money."
"Brother, please remind me more, I know."
Wu Dalang nodded repeatedly, but after looking at the yard, he felt a little confused. He didn't know anything about this.
"Brother Wu, please don't go out today. There will be some chaos in the city. My identity is sensitive and it is inconvenient to stay for a long time, so I will say goodbye."
Sun Lei clasped his fists at Wu Dalang and left. He was not ready to capture the county yet and was about to leave after finishing his work. If people knew that Wu Dalang was related to bandits, it would harm Wu Dalang.
"elder brother"
Wu Dalang wanted to say something else, but Sun Lei had already led them away.
The city gates of Qinghe County were closed tightly. The people in the city already knew what happened in the city, and they were all worried at this moment. They had never experienced bandits taking over the city.
"how's it going?"
Sun Lei asked as he looked at Deng Fei who was patrolling the street with his minions.
"Brother, there were only a few rogue idlers who took the opportunity to rob, and they have been executed on the spot."
Deng Fei replied.
"Bang the gong and let everyone go to the county office!"
Sun Lei nodded, as long as there was no trouble, this gave them a lot of inspiration. It turned out that attacking the county town was not as troublesome as imagined. As long as the defenders were defeated and the yamen were controlled, there would be no resistance in the entire city, and civilians would not participate at all. in this battle.
The sound of gongs rang in Qinghe County. The civilians who were hiding walked out of their homes in fear and followed the crowd towards the county government office.
"Brother, the treasury has been opened and the money and food have been loaded onto the truck!"
When Lu Fang saw Sun Lei coming, he cupped his fists and reported.
"Okay, where is Pei Xuan?"
Sun Lei nodded.
"The trial is almost over!"
Guo Sheng replied.
"Tell the brothers to get ready and leave after noon."
Sun Lei said with satisfaction that this operation was actually very risky. His Liangshan Society was still very weak, with less than 2,000 people and more than 20 leaders. This time he only brought 500 people. It is risky for people to attack a county. If they do not withdraw quickly enough, they will only be destroyed when reinforcements from surrounding counties arrive.
"Yes, brother!"
Lu Fang and Guo Sheng clasped their fists and left.
Outside the county government office, the official table had been set up. Pei Xuan sat behind the official table, with twenty neatly dressed minions standing on both sides, looking very majestic.
"Snapped!"
A scream shocked the noisy crowd, and Pei Xuan began to publicly interrogate the cases. Liangshan received several cases this time, all from Qinghe County.
Pei Xuan's trial was concise and clear, with all witnesses and material evidence, and every sentence was just right. The trial was completed in a short time.
The fair and strict punishment made everyone watching applaud. The people arrested this time were all landlords and bullies who had done many evil things. Usually these people collude with the government to commit all kinds of evil, but ordinary people dare to be angry but dare not speak out.
"Brother, the case has been reviewed. Please take a look at it."
Pei Xuan handed the compiled manuscript to Sun Lei with both hands. At this moment, everyone present realized that the young man was the leader of Liangshan, and the black-faced officials were just subordinates.
"Everyone, today I, a hero from Liangshan, am here only to uphold justice and uphold justice. I have no intention of robbing civilians. Don't panic, we will leave soon!"
Sun Lei looked at the crowd and said, as soon as these words came out, everyone in Qinghe County breathed a sigh of relief. They were really afraid that these people would occupy the city.
Sun Lei didn't say much because he could see the joy in the eyes of the people watching the ceremony. Since these people didn't welcome him, it would be a waste of time to say more. It was better to maintain a cold attitude, making people unpredictable and awe-inspiring. .
He also had no idea of distributing money or grain. In Song Dynasty, colluding with thieves was a serious crime, and at least one had to be imprisoned for thousands of miles. Whoever received the money and grain was in collusion with Liangshan. This was not the area around Liangshanbo. The government would never be soft after it recovered. Giving money and food is harmful to people.
At three quarters of noon, Li Kui raised his ax and executed the criminals one by one.
The people in Liangshan left Qinghe County directly under the leadership of Sun Lei.
"Tieniu, what are you doing wearing this shabby official uniform? It doesn't fit you. It looks like a bear in a big coat, like an opera singer!"
Sun Lei looked at Li Kui, who was wearing the official uniform of the county magistrate, and said, the county magistrate ran fast and escaped before Lu Fang and Guo Sheng went there. Li Kui didn't catch anyone, but he got the official uniform.
"Brother, Pei Xuan is so majestic as a judge. I, Tieniu, will also want to be a county magistrate and sit in court to judge!"
After speaking, Li Kui shook his sleeves and made a shocking gesture.
This action made everyone burst into laughter, and even this brash Tieniu, who didn't know a single Chinese character, wanted to be the county magistrate.
