East of Yuncheng. Qinbei Pavilion
"Mr. Magistrate, we can't go any further. The boundary of Liangshan is ahead."
Lei Heng followed Zhang Shuye on horseback and said quickly that he didn't know what was wrong with the new county magistrate. He didn't want to wait for the good county magistrate. He insisted on riding a horse to inspect Yuncheng County and went specifically to the direction of Liangshanbo.
"The boundary of Liangshan Bodi? Is this the land of the king in the whole world? This place is under the rule of Yuncheng. As the magistrate of Yuncheng, I am the magistrate of Yuncheng. There is no place in Yuncheng that I cannot go to!"
Zhang Shuye looked at Lei Heng and said in a stern tone.
These days, he has finally figured out that everyone in Yuncheng has been frightened by the bandits. Except for everyone who has a better head, everyone else is talking about Liangshan and wants to stay in the city all day long.
"Look at these deserted villages and towns, they are all under the rule of Yuncheng!"
Zhang Shuye pointed at the deserted villages and towns in front of him and began to lecture the officials accompanying him.
"Master Magistrate, these people in this town are all unruly people, and now they have all gone to join the Liangshan thieves."
An official opened his mouth to explain.
After Liangshanbo became powerful, he began to collect protection fees, stopped plundering caravans, and established Liangshan Town, which made the area around Shuibo very lively. People traveling from south to north now pass through Liangshan Town, and these towns around Yuncheng are also Abandoned, after all, this kind of town mostly relies on passing merchants to make money.
"The unruly people should be educated. This is what you should do!"
However, Zhang Shuye kept explaining that in his opinion, these were all excuses, and it was the officials' responsibility to flee the civilians under their rule.
"Mr. Magistrate, if we go further we will reach the territory of Liangshanbo. We have few manpower. If we encounter thieves, we will not be able to deal with them."
Zhang Wen saw that Zhang Shuye wanted to go east after seeing the deserted town, and immediately panicked. Zhang Shuye had brought out all the Yuncheng officials this time. If Liangshan saw this, he would probably be slapped with a pot.
"What the Liangshan thieves like most is kidnapping and extortion, but they can't come any closer!"
"Yes! Yes! We can't get any closer!"
The rest of the people also spoke up and said, thieves are not to be feared, but the thieves from Liangshan are to be feared. Not only are those people vicious, but they also regard wealth as life. They extort money from officials when they catch them, and they ask for tens of thousands of dollars. Those in Jeju have suffered big losses.
"As an official, how can you be afraid of thieves!"
Zhang Shuye gave an order and forced everyone to move forward. How could he face the enemy if he was afraid of the enemy like a tiger? He has to give these guys some confidence.
"Master Magistrate, it's not that everyone is afraid of you, but the people of Liangshan are really powerful and we can't stop you!"
Seeing that everyone was afraid, Zhu Tong helped explain that he did not understand Zhang Shuye's thoughts, and it was not a good choice to be close to Liangshanbo now.
"What's so scary about thieves?"
Zhang Shuye took a gun and said coldly.
"this……"
Zhu Tong was surprised when he saw Zhang Shuye holding the spear. When did civil servants start playing with weapons? Moreover, Zhang Shuye's posture and kung fu are quite good.
The people in Yuncheng had not gone far when a large group of people came from the direction of Liangshan.
"Who is this! Everyone from Yuncheng wants to come to Liangshanbo as a guest?"
Sun Lei took the lead and looked at everyone in front of him with a smile.
"This person is Sun Lei!"
When Lei Heng saw that it was Sun Lei, his face suddenly changed with fear. No one in Yuncheng knew where Liangshan was better than him, and he had been a hostage in Liangshan.
"Sun Lei?"
Zhang Shuye frowned slightly. Sun Lei's appearance really surprised him. There was no trace of the ferocity of a bandit in appearance. He was as harmless as a scholar or a young man, but behind him were all burly men.
"This is the new Magistrate Zhang. We will be neighbors from now on, but it is best not to bring so many people around. It is easy to cause conflicts if we cross the boundary."
Sun Lei looked at Zhang Shuye. He was about fifty years old, with gray temples, a tall figure, and sharp eyes. He didn't look like a civil servant at all, but a bit like a middle-aged general.
"Bold thief, how dare you be so arrogant when you see me!"
Zhang Shuye didn't listen to what Sun Lei said at all, but he felt a shiver in his heart. From Sun Lei's plain words, he could tell something was wrong. The person in front of him was far more difficult to deal with than the vicious thieves he had dealt with before. .
"Brother, why bother talking to him? If we catch them, we will get a lot of money!"
Sun An pointed at the Yuncheng officials in front of him and said with a smile, the story of Liangshanbo arresting corrupt officials and demanding ransom has spread throughout Shuibo. People said that this is Liangshan heroes punishing those greedy officials and trying to squeeze out all the money from corrupt officials.
All the officials in Yuncheng panicked when they heard that they had been arrested for exchanging money. The Liangshan thieves were really addicted to kidnapping and extortion.
"Be bold!"
Zhang Shuye shouted like thunder, instantly calming the panicked officials.
"The thief shall die!"
Zhang Shuye pointed his spear at Sun Lei and killed him.
"I come!"
Sun An faced him directly with two swords in hand.
Zhang Shuye arrived first with his spear at night. When he saw Sun An coming to kill him, he thrust out his spear and took Sun An directly.
Sun An blocked it with one sword, and then the other sword struck Zhang Shuye, but Zhang Shuye reacted very quickly and blocked Sun An's sword with a retraction of his spear.
"Oh, Zhang Shuye actually has martial arts skills and looks very tall!"
Sun Lei looked surprised. This was beyond his expectation. Zhang Shuye could actually fight Sun An back and forth.
"This... I have never heard of it. This person has always been a local official. Most of them are civil servants such as county magistrates and magistrates! In Tokyo, there are also official positions such as Zhongshusheren. There are only more than twenty I worked as a clerk in Lanzhou and joined the army years ago."
Wen Huanzhang was also greatly surprised. He was the one who introduced Zhang Shuye's situation. Now it seems that his expectation of Zhang Shuye was wrong, and it was a huge mistake.
"Zhi...xian, Zhixian?"
Lei Heng and others opened their mouths and didn't know what to say. A magistrate could actually fight with the leader of the thieves with a gun. They had been officials for many years and had seen and heard of many magistrates. This was the first time they had seen this. Moreover, Zhang Shuye's martial arts was extraordinary. , he is no match.
"I can't tell you still have some martial arts skills!"
Sun An was greatly surprised. After twenty moves, he already had an understanding of Zhang Shuye's martial arts. Zhang Shuye's martial arts were authentic military moves, and they were extremely brilliant.
"Suffer death!"
Zhang Shuye only replied with two words.
The two fought again. This time Sun An directly used his strength. Zhang Shuye had a hard time resisting the two moves. After all, he had reached the age of knowing his destiny. He was old and frail. He was not as strong as Sun An in his thirties. Chinese.
However, Zhang Shuye was extremely experienced and used his moves to neutralize Sun An's attack.
"As expected of someone from a military family, it's getting more and more interesting."
Sun Lei could tell from Zhang Shuye's martial arts that he was extraordinary. Although he was at a disadvantage, he fought calmly and methodically, which showed that he had a strong psychological quality.
"Brother, how about I go get those people first!"
Du Bo pointed at the Yuncheng officials and said.
"No rush, let's take a look first. Today is not in vain. This uncle's night is much more interesting than I thought."
Sun Lei shook his head and looked at the battle with squinted eyes. Sun An failed to take down Zhang Shuye even after a series of fierce attacks. However, Zhang Shuye was already sweating profusely and it was obvious that he had exhausted a lot of physical strength.
"Brother Sun An, stay here!"
Sun Lei shouted to Sun An, it was not the time to take down Zhang Shuye yet.
"Zhang Zhixian, you must have had a good time after the beating. Can you talk now?"
Sun Lei rode up and looked at Zhang Shuye and asked.
