Yuan Feng came to Nao County a few days ago.
At that time, the city gate of Guoxian County was not like it is now, and it only opened for an hour every day.
The daughter of the county magistrate of Guo County and Yuan Feng were the son-in-law, so as soon as he arrived in Guo County, Yuan Feng moved into the home of the magistrate of Guo County.
The county government officer took Deputy Inspector Qian to the county magistrate's house.
When he arrived outside the house, Deputy Inspector Qian carefully knocked on the door knocker with his hand, fearing that he would use too much force and make the people living inside dissatisfied.
And after knocking a few times, he listened carefully to the movement inside until he heard footsteps coming from inside, and hurriedly retreated to the foot of the stone steps.
After a while, the large wooden door of the county magistrate's house was opened from the inside.
A middle-aged man walked out of the door.
"What are you knocking on? Don't you know this is the county magistrate's house?" The middle-aged man who came out of the house glanced condescendingly at Deputy Inspector Qian and the police officer standing below.
"Excuse me, I would like to see Deputy Yuan Qianhu." Deputy Inspector Qian said with a smile on his face.
The seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister, the person in the county prime minister's house, even if he is just a servant, is not someone he can offend with a small inspection.
The middle-aged man frowned slightly and said, "You can also meet Deputy Yuan Qianhu when you meet. Just wait."
After saying that, he turned back to the door.
"Please also send a message to Deputy Yuan Qianhu. The commander of Zhenwu Guard is outside the city gate now." Deputy Inspector Qian was afraid that the other party would not be attentive, so he quickly added.
Bang.
The large wooden door of the county magistrate's mansion was closed.
Normally, the county magistrate's house rarely stays closed during the day. However, due to the recent influence of bandits, the city is a bit unstable, and the gates of the house are usually closed as often as possible.
Not seeing Deputy Yuan Qianhu, Deputy Inspector Qian did not dare to leave and patiently stood guard outside the door.
The policeman who brought him here completed the errand of taking him to the county magistrate's house, greeted him and returned to the Yamen.
This time, Deputy Inspector Qian did not have to wait too long. The large wooden door of the county magistrate's house was opened, and the middle-aged man who had left earlier came out with a man with a square face.
"You said Commander Zhenwuwei arrived outside the gate of Nao County." The square-faced man asked urgently as he walked out from behind the door.
Deputy Inspector Qian knew that this person was Deputy Yuan Qianhu, so he hurriedly stepped forward and replied: "Commander Zhenwu Guard and Yuan Qianhu are both outside the city gate."
"Take me there." Yuan Feng said simply and clearly.
"Deputy Yuan Qianhu, please follow me." Deputy Inspector Qian walked in front to lead the way.
At this time, the middle-aged man from before said to Yuan Feng: "Uncle, please wait a moment. I have already sent someone to prepare the horses."
"Go and urge them to hurry up." Deputy Yuan Qianhu said to the middle-aged man.
"I'll go now, little man." The middle-aged man said respectfully, then turned and returned to the door.
Deputy Inspector Qian saw this and had no choice but to stay and wait.
Not long after, in the direction of the upper side entrance of the County Prime Minister's Mansion, a servant led a horse and walked towards the main entrance of the County Prime Minister's Mansion.
Before he could get closer, Deputy Yuan Qianhu rushed forward, grabbed the reins, turned over and mounted the horse, and actually said to Deputy Inspector Qian: "I will go over first, and you should be faster behind."
As he spoke, he spurred his horse and started running.
The horse's hooves made a clattering sound on the road, and soon the horse's tail disappeared from a corner of the street.
Deputy Inspector Qian smiled bitterly and moved his legs to catch up.
However, two legs cannot run as fast as four legs, even on a street with many pedestrians.
Yuan Feng rode up to the city gate on the north side, got off his horse, threw the reins to the oncoming soldiers, and said, "Leave the horse to my general."
The soldiers were not familiar with Yuan Feng, but they heard him calling himself a general, so he knew he was a high official, and he honestly took care of the abandoned horses for him.
The horse path leading up to the city wall was close to the city head, and Yuan Feng stepped on the horse path and quickly climbed up the city wall.
The guards stationed on the city wall were mainly officers from the inspection department and the Yamen, and some were young men from the city who were temporarily recruited to the city wall.
"What are you going to do? You don't want your life."
Some guards saw a stranger like Yuan Feng on the city wall and wanted to go over to drive him away, but were stopped by the guards beside him.
Just listen to the officer saying: "This is the good son-in-law of the county magistrate, Deputy Qianhu of Zhenwu Guard, and he should be with those people outside the city gate."
When the guard heard this, he wiped the cold sweat from his head with lingering fear.
No matter who he is, he can crush a small guard to death.
"Brother, is that you?" Yuan Feng leaned against the female wall, his upper body sticking out from the crenel.
Yuan Chong, who had been waiting outside the city gate for a long time, heard a familiar voice on the top of the city. He hurriedly looked up and found that it was his second brother. He said happily: "Second brother, you are here. You wait first, I will send my father to you." Take it."
"Father is here too?" Yuan Feng looked excited.
Yuan Chaoju was old and had blisters on his legs after riding a horse for such a long time. He was sitting in a clean place to rest under the care of two soldiers.
"Father, the second brother is here, let's go over!" Yuan Chong came to invite Yuan Chaoju.
After hearing this, Yuan Chaoju stood up, got on his horse with the help of his own soldiers, and came to the city gate not far away with Yuan Chong.
"Father, why are you here in Guo County? How is Daizhou?" Yuan Feng couldn't help but ask when he saw Yuan Chaoju who came with Yuan Chong.
Yuan Chaoju was the commander of the Zhenwu Guard, and the bandits were attacking Daizhou. At this time, Yuan Chaoju was not fighting the bandits in Daizhou, but came to Guo County, which made him feel inexplicably panicked.
"Stop talking so much, let someone open the city gate quickly and let my father and I enter the city." Yuan Chong raised his head and shouted to Yuan Feng.
"You guys wait, I'll ask someone to open the city gate." Yuan Feng also knew that now was not the time to inquire about the situation in Daizhou, so he turned to the guards on the city wall not far away and said, "Go and open the city gate and let the people outside People come into town.”
No one on the wall moved.
Seeing this, Yuan Feng's face sank and he said coldly: "Do you know who I am?"
"Deputy Yuan Qianhu, please don't embarrass me. No one dares to open the city gate without the county magistrate." The man with the highest position on the city wall said with a wry smile.
He was a police officer in the Yamen. Now that the bandit army was invading, he was assigned to guard the city wall.
"You're talking so much nonsense. If you don't open the city gate, I'm going to kill you now." Seeing that a policeman dared to disobey his order, Yuan Feng cursed angrily.
At this moment, Deputy Inspector Qian climbed onto the city wall out of breath.
"Deputy Yuan Qianhu, please don't embarrass the people below. Before I came over from the county government office, the county magistrate told me not to open the city gate at any other time except at noon. Otherwise, I don't need you to do anything, Deputy Yuan Qianhu." The county magistrate can take the life of a lower official."
As soon as Deputy Inspector Qian reached the city wall, he told Yuan Feng his difficulties.
