Since the founding of Daliang, Beixi County has been a famous poor county in Daliang.
The people of Beixi have long been accustomed to and numb to poverty. They never believe that a century-old disease that has been difficult to cure will be cured by the appearance of Qin Feng, unless he is a god!
Faced with the doubts of many scholars, Qin Feng did not explain.
It's late at night.
Qin Feng did not start work immediately. Instead, he asked the hired scholars to go home to rest and report formally to the county government tomorrow.
Back in the backyard, Qin Cheng and Li Xiaolan had already fallen asleep.
Qin Feng was afraid of waking the two of them up, so he tiptoed back to his room. He seemed to be falling apart and collapsed directly on the bed.
I thought I could finally have a good sleep, but as soon as my head hit the pillow, a ghost came out of the yard with a roar and a scream.
"Brother Qin, come out quickly!"
Qin Feng was so frightened that he couldn't help cursing in his heart. He reluctantly pushed the door open and went out. After making sure that his mother and third sister had not been awakened, he breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the aggressive Ning Hu. Said: "What a ghost this late at night?!"
"I've been busy for so many days and can't even get a good night's sleep?"
Qin Feng felt that if he continued at this rate, he would die of overwork before long.
Ning Hu's eyes flashed with apology, but he still walked forward with a very serious expression: "Something happened."
Since Qin Feng came to Beixi County, what day has nothing happened?
Qin Feng was already a little numb and said casually: "What can happen this late at night? Could it be that Chen Li's corruption case has been exposed again?"
Ning Hu's eyes were solemn, and he lowered his voice and said: "Speaking of which, this matter has something to do with Chen Li... Since you took office, Brother Qin, the county government has almost changed its police officers. Those who should be jailed should be jailed, and those who should be questioned After all, there were only a few head catchers and cadres left. These birdmen were worried about ending up like Chen Li, so they actually defected."
After hearing this, Qin Feng finally became interested: "Defection? With those crooked melons, cracked dates, stinky fish and rotten shrimps, where can they defect to? No matter how bad the Beidi people are, they will not absorb these wastes."
Ning Hu smiled bitterly: "It would be better if we escaped to Beidi. The border troops would intercept and kill those birdmen without us taking action. Just now, the villagers of Dayangshu Village came to report the case, saying that the government officials and bandits cooperated inside and outside. They looted Dayangshu Village and killed and injured countless people."
Originally, Qin Feng didn't take those government officials seriously at all.
After all, they are just worms who rely on human power. Chen Li has fallen. What kind of waves can these bastards create? Reality gave Qin Feng a slap in the face!
These government officials were originally "certified gangsters", but now that Chen Li has fallen and lost their backers, they have naturally become gangsters in the true sense.
Qin Feng frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "What is the casualty situation in Dayangshu Village?"
Ning Hu sighed, with a flash of indignation in his eyes: "There were a total of seventy-three people in Dayangshu Village, at least fifty of them were killed, and the remaining people escaped by escaping into the mountains. And... can rob Those who were gone were taken away, and those who could not be taken away were burned.”
Qin Feng nodded, surprisingly calm. After all, blind anger has no meaning at this time.
Qin Feng dragged his exhausted body back to the lobby. Looking at the map of Beixi County, he couldn't help but sigh: "The situation in Beixi County is far worse than I imagined. The Beidi Rangers led by Zhong Ling have not yet Now, banditry has emerged again. If these two troubles cannot be solved, Beixi County will never have peace."
"Little Marquis, you ask Qimeng to order thirty guards to go to Dayangshu Village to carry out the aftermath. The surviving villagers will be moved directly to the county for resettlement, and the resettlement funds will be paid out of the county government's treasury."
"In addition, send someone to inquire about the banditry and find out where the banditry is hiding..."
As soon as Qin Feng said this, he was interrupted by Ning Hu.
Ning Hu clenched his fists and said coldly: "There is no need to check. Those who defected from the Yamen are defecting to Feiying Village. Feiying Village has been entrenched in Beixi County for more than 20 years, and there are many bandits in the village. There are three hundred people. Due to its strong momentum and Chen Li's unwillingness to waste money on paying fees, Feiying Village has become deeply entrenched. And..."
Seeing Ning Hu hesitate to speak, Qin Feng raised his eyebrows: "And what? But it doesn't matter."
Ning Hu gritted his teeth and pointed at Yinggang Mountain on the map: "This is where Feiying Village is located. It is less than twenty miles away from the border in a straight line. Due to the complex terrain and the battle between the two armies, the border troops were unable to move forward. Go to encircle and suppress. I just went to the prison and learned from the county captain that Feiying Village and Beidi have already had a secret arrangement, exchanging grain and other materials for Beidi weapons."
Qin Feng frowned slightly, stared at the map, and said thoughtfully: "In other words, the Zhong Ling Department may also be hiding in Feiying Village?"
Ning Hu nodded heavily: "It's very possible! If it's just a mere bandit, it's not worth mentioning at all. But once Zhong Ling enters Feiying Village, with this legendary general commanding him, known as the Wolf of Beidi, the situation will change drastically. .”
After hearing this, Qin Feng also vaguely felt that the situation was not good.
There are three hundred bandits in Feiying Village, plus twenty defected government officials, and one hundred rangers under Zhong Ling's command.
These four hundred and twenty people, relying on the complex terrain of Yinggang Mountain, will become a force that cannot be underestimated.
If left unchecked, not to mention threatening the people of Beixi County, it would also plant a time bomb for the border war.
What is not said must be killed!
After careful consideration, Qin Feng immediately ordered: "Little Marquis, you quickly send people to the border town and second two hundred border troops. With this amount of manpower, the border guard general will not refuse. In addition, gather all the government soldiers. Tomorrow night When night falls, set out on Yinggang Mountain to suppress the bandits!"
Ning Hu took the order and turned around.
Qin Feng sat behind the desk, his thoughts racing. Now Qin Feng finally understood why Captain Gao trapped himself in Beixi County.
The situation in this damn place is extremely complicated!
In addition to people's livelihood problems, he is also inextricably linked to Beidi. If he is not careful, he may get into trouble.
After all, Qin Feng now has an official status and is subject to the constraints of the officialdom. If something goes wrong, the political enemies in Kyoto will definitely label Qin Feng as a "collaborator"!
Everything in Beixi County must be done step by step and be cautious!
Qin Feng just lay on the desk and lost. When he woke up again, it was already the next morning, and he was actually covered with a blanket.
Before Qin Feng could react, Li Xiaolan came over from behind the curtain with a bowl of steaming chicken soup, her brows filled with distress: "Feng'er, this mess in Beixi County shouldn't have fallen on your shoulders. Now that the situation is forcing it, it’s really hard on you.”
Qin Feng took the chicken soup and felt warm in his heart. He wiped away the fatigue on his face and laughed heartlessly: "Hey, no matter how tired I am, it's worth it if the third sister cares about me. I don't know what blessings I have cultivated in my previous life." , to have such a good sister like you."
