This house covers a very large area and is almost the largest house in Shanyang County.
Although Xu Bo'an couldn't see the furnishings inside the house, just looking at the courtyard, he could see how high-end and extraordinary this place was.
Rockery gardens, pavilions and pavilions.
Boy, isn't this the villa style I dream of?
Xu Boan subconsciously glanced at the house number outside.
Oh, it’s okay, it turns out to be the county government.
But at this time, the county government was occupied by the rebels who occupied Jiuchao.
A tall and tall man stood in the courtyard.
The man has a resolute face, delicate facial features, bright eyes, and extraordinary bearing.
Wearing a black satin white jade hairpin and a gray brocade robe, the man remained motionless in the strong wind. Only his brocade robe moved in the wind, exuding a chilling aura that made people feel frightened.
Beside him, a dozen rebels wrapped in turbans struggled to stabilize their bodies by inserting their spears into the ground.
The man looked at the strong wind in the sky with a complicated expression and said nothing.
This is a fierce man, and such a strong wind cannot affect him.
Xu Bo'an resisted the thought of increasing the wind power and continued to observe this man who looked extraordinary at first sight.
The man let out a long sigh and said: "As long as you give me three more days, I will definitely be able to capture Shanyang County! Then I will attack the Qingyun Dao armed forces in the Yushan area from both fronts and back. I, the Baimian Sect, will be able to accomplish great things! I won't give in!"
"Young Master, please go back to the house and take shelter. The wind is too strong!" A soldier nearby shouted at the top of his lungs.
There is no way, the wind is howling, if the sound is not louder, it will not be heard at all.
The strong man gritted his teeth and said: "God forbid me from the Baimian Sect! Huh... give me the order to evacuate Shanyang County." As he spoke, the man exhaled a heavy breath, showing his fatigue.
"Young Master, it's not necessary. As long as this evil wind stops, our brothers will be able to capture Shanyang County." The soldier knelt on the ground and shouted loudly.
"You know what the heck! Hit, hit, hit! You guys only know how to use brute force. What's the point of beating you down? This evil wind came at the wrong time. I lost my mountain eagle, and the mountain eagle lost you." Understand!
We are invincible along the way. If God helps us, it will not only be because we can fight, but also because we have the eyes of the mountain eagle to help us. Now that Shan Ying has been lost, even if we capture Shanyang County, we will no longer be able to get in touch with our father.
It’s not easy to achieve great success again! "
The man known as the Young Master shouted hysterically, with tears in his eyes. He didn't know whether it was because of the strong wind that blew his eyes, or because he was sad to lose the mountain eagle, or because he thought about the grand ambition and hegemony that was within reach and left it alone.
The soldiers were reprimanded and no longer dared to say anything.
Xu Boan blinked, somewhat understanding.
So this man is the animal trainer?
Judging from the meaning behind his words, his mountain eagle was blown somewhere by the strong wind he created!
Boy, what an unexpected surprise.
Otherwise, Xu Boan would still be thinking about how to silence these rebels.
It would be the best to call the gold and withdraw the troops.
After all, there is no enmity between these people and Xu Bo'an, and Xu Bo'an doesn't want to commit more crimes if it is not necessary.
As for those unlucky guys who were blown into smelly ditches or even toilets by the wind, their fate is really bad.
Although the upper limit of the electric fan's wind power has not yet been reached, Xu Bo'an is not ready to continue pressing it.
Xu Boan saw with his own eyes that some thin trees had been uprooted, and some thin houses had begun to lift their roofs and collapse their beams.
If the wind force increases again, Shanyang City will become a ruins after the typhoon.
On the city wall, Wang Chao looked at this vision between heaven and earth and was filled with emotion.
In the same Shanyang City, sand and rocks were flying in the south of the city, making it difficult for vehicles and horses to move, and strong winds were raging on the streets.
Although the north of the city where he was located was also affected, it was only a gentle breeze and was harmless.
Looking at the fleeing rebels, Wang Chao said with emotion: "You are worthy of being a god. He can turn his hands into clouds, turn his hands into rain, and blow his breath to make strong winds! If Grandpa Mountain God hadn't taken action today, I am afraid that everyone else would have been trapped in the underworld. Let’s get together.”
Lao Jiao, who was following behind, smacked his lips vigorously and said regretfully: "It's a pity. It would be great if we could wipe out this group of rebels in one fell swoop, so as to prevent them from taking a rest and making a comeback."
Chao Chao shook his head and said: "No! The Mountain God Grandpa can use such methods, which shows his great preference and care for us.
To us, the crimes of those rebels are unforgivable, but in the eyes of Grandpa Mountain God, the battle between those rebels and us is just an inevitable battle for all living beings in the world.
Could it be that if you encountered two groups of ants fighting on the road, would you stop and crush one of them to death? "
Lao Jiao said with a tone of sudden enlightenment: "Of course it won't happen, it's because I'm stupid. After hearing what you said, it really enlightened me."
Chao Chao continued: "Besides, I heard that gods are most particular about cause and effect. If Grandpa Mountain God kills many living beings here without authorization, he will probably bear too much karma and affect his spiritual path. There is a high probability that Grandpa Mountain God will take action this time. This is the best he can do for us.”
Lao Jiao bowed in admiration and said: "It makes sense. What you said makes sense. I, Lao Jiao, just found out today that you had to settle for the position of arresting the leader before. It was really an incompetence of your talents. This skill and this knowledge are the key to the government." I’m afraid it’s not like there isn’t a place for you, sir, on the Taoist platform.”
Chao Chao said with a smile: "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Speaking of this, I really forgot one thing. Now that I have been promoted to the position of county magistrate, the county headhunter has become vacant. Nowadays, Shanyang County is booming, and it is the time when we need to employ people, especially the position of the head catcher, which is very important. If it is handed over to others, I will not worry about it. Lao Jiao, you are also an old man in the yamen. I think you are very suitable for the position of head catcher."
When Lao Jiao heard this, he was overjoyed.
How can I not be happy?
In the management system of the Jing Dynasty, although the position of head catcher was not an official position, it was almost the ultimate position that an official could achieve.
Especially for Lao Jiao, he suddenly transitioned from an identity equivalent to an ordinary law enforcement team member to the position of captain of the law enforcement brigade.
How could this make him unhappy?
Nowadays, the financial level of the yamen is also very tight. Although Lao Jiao is very decent in the eyes of outsiders, to put it bluntly, he knows his own happiness and suffering.
In addition to a small amount of food and salary, the only thing he could afford was a uniform for duty as a sergeant.
Many new colleagues who have been with the company for less than a year are not even provided with the clothes for duty in time, so they all rely on a waist badge to prove their identity.
It was also because of this that Lao Jiao's colleague who had lost his status was extremely nervous.
After all, the food and salary are not much, and there is no money to reissue you a new waist card. If you lose it, you will have to admit that you are unlucky.
Lao Jiao also knew that looking at the entire county government, there were too many places to spend money.
In addition, most of Qingyun Road has suffered from severe drought in recent years, and various financial funds are really insufficient.
I heard that even serious officials find it difficult to pay out their salaries in full and on time.
Not to mention grassroots workers like Lao Jiao and even temporary workers. It would be nice to be able to get some money and food to ensure a living. Clothes, shoes and hats should naturally be put off as long as possible to survive this difficult period.
But head arrest is different.
Let's put it this way, for the position of head catcher, it doesn't matter whether you get a salary or not, you can live a good life.
Just so arrogant.
Lao Jiao immediately kowtowed and said, "Thank you for your appreciation, sir. It's just... I am an ordinary police officer. Can those fellow detectives be convinced?"
Lao Jiao's worries are not unreasonable.
There are many servants in the yamen.
Being a detective is the hardest work, and it's also dangerous.
The other ordinary servants are usually government servants who work in the house, collect taxes, and do chores. They are not as dangerous as the police officers.
However, as a subordinate, you have your own difficulties, but it is not a reason to complain to your superiors.
A trace of displeasure flashed across Wang Chao's brows.
Huh, what I'm asking is, isn't this a problem you have to solve? I bet you, this guy, only knows how to flatter others?
Is it possible that you still want me to repair my former brothers?
How ridiculous.
If it weren't for the fact that you are an acquaintance of Li Qingshi, the beloved general of Grandpa Mountain God, I would really like to take back what I just said.
Chao Chao sighed and said: "You are right. Maybe I didn't think well. Otherwise, I would let..."
When Lao Jiao heard this, he immediately knew that he had said the wrong thing.
He won't change his tune and let someone else be the catcher, right?
Lao Jiao was anxious and immediately said in a resolute tone: "My lord, I have great ambitions, but I am cowardly. In the next step, I will definitely follow your footsteps, do my best to be the leader, and help you solve your problems."
Chao Chao nodded and said: "Oh, if that's the case, then just do your best. Go ahead and ask people to clean up the City God's Temple. The damaged roof must be repaired as soon as possible. Grandpa Mountain God cannot be exposed to wind, sun, and rain. of labor.”
Xu Bo'an's attention was still curiously looking at the antique buildings in the county town, and he didn't notice at all that the two of them had begun to plan to seal the gap on the roof of the City God's Temple.
Lao Jiao quickly took the order and left.
Wang Chaoxiao watched Lao Jiao leave, glanced sideways at the ugly-looking subordinates of the police, and said softly: "What? Do you have something in mind?"
One of the detectives said with a displeased face: "Boss, I've been with you for so long, and I can't help but tell you the truth. Why should he, an old idler, be the catcher?" How can brothers be convinced?"
In the eyes of the police officers, all the yamen servants in the yamen, except the police officers, are idle and idle in their posts.
Several other detectives on the side also nodded in agreement with this statement.
Chao Chao smiled and shook his head, and said softly: "What do you know? Lao Jiao is familiar with Li Zhuangshi, and he is someone whom Grandpa Mountain God values. Besides, if he can stay with us and risk his life to fight against the enemy, it is already What a remarkable act.
He can be reused, which can be regarded as showing to everyone that staying to fight the enemy is much more promising than shrinking and running away.
Otherwise, if the rebels come back again, we will have no one available, only you and me, brothers. What can we do to resist and cost our lives? enough! You can’t expect Grandpa Mountain God to help you every time, right? "
The detectives looked enlightened and nodded in approval.
The person who spoke earlier said with a face full of shame: "Boss, I'm sorry, I was wrong. My knowledge was shallow and I made you laugh."
Chao Chao shook his head, reached out and patted this brother, and said: "You are just still young. When you reach Lao Jiao's age, you will understand a lot. From now on, I don't want any dissatisfaction among our brothers." The newly appointed Chief Jiao, do you understand?"
"Yes, boss." All the catchers responded one after another.
"Okay, don't waste your time here. Take advantage of this rare opportunity and seize the time to rest. There may be a tough battle to be fought next."
The dynasty did not know the news that the rebels were about to retreat, so they could only stay on guard and stay here quietly to cope with any changes.
Seeing the brothers who were the detectives walking away, Wang Chao finally let out a breath.
"Alas, it's not easy to be the county magistrate. It would be great if Grandpa Mountain God could protect me, Shanyang County."
At this time, Xu Boan, the mountain god grandfather he called, was looking at a newly discovered building in the county with great interest.
This building is three stories high and mainly made of wooden structure. At first glance, it does not look like a residence for ordinary people.
In addition, the area of this place is quite large. Although there is no front yard or backyard, it is like a palace, and the roof is not much better than that of a mansion with a courtyard on the side.
Xu Boan looked carefully and saw that the building's door plaque had been blown off and fell to the ground.
There are three large gilded characters on it.
"Juxiangfang!"
Xu Boan blinked.
Good guy, I think I guessed where this place is.
