After Qin Yu and Du Tao entered the county captain's house, the atmosphere between the two armies suddenly became subtle.
Du Tao's men believed that their lord was here to show authority to the county captain, so they always wanted to overpower the Cang County defenders in terms of momentum.
However, Gongsun Qi and Qin Yuan also believed that Du Tao was here to embarrass Qin Yu, and Gongsun Qi and others were absolutely loyal to Qin Yu, and Qin Yuan and others had the arrogance of coming from the general's palace.
Therefore, the two sides refused to give in to each other in terms of momentum. They stared at each other with their eyes almost getting angry.
Gongsun Qi suddenly pushed to the back quietly and pulled Lao Huang out at the same time.
"Uncle, you take people to gather the people before dawn and tell them that the county magistrate has come to see the management of Cang County."
Lao Huang looked at Gongsun Qi doubtfully and asked, "Okay! Stabilize the situation and stop fighting."
Lao Huang has little education, but he is definitely a good person when it comes to human relations and sophistication.
The purpose of calling the people here was to use the people's support to put pressure on the county guard so that the county guard could not embarrass Qin Yu.
And the premise of all this is that there can't be a fight.
Once a fight breaks out, its nature will change, and even using people's support will have no effect.
Time passed little by little, and the two sides were still confronting each other.
The two people in the county captain's mansion were chatting happily.
The two of them were half-hidden in the fog. After explaining some things clearly, Qin Yu was basically the one listening.
Du Tao is also a talkative person. Once he starts talking, he can't stop it. He almost talks about all the great things he has done since he was a child.
Qin Yu also became a qualified listener and interacted with Du Tao from time to time, which gave Du Tao great satisfaction.
Suddenly, Du Tao changed the topic, stared at Qin Yu and asked: "I heard that you are the illegitimate son of General Qin Zhen?"
Qin Yu was stunned, why did he talk about himself?
He smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "It's just rumors. It's just that my family has some connections with General Zhenguo."
"That's it." Du Tao said this, but there was a look of disbelief on his face.
At this moment, Xiao He's room door was suddenly opened.
Xiao He was wearing single clothes and stood sleepily at the door. Looking at the two of them, he asked drowsily: "What have you done? Why don't you let people sleep? Is it easy for me at such an old age?"
Du Tao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Brother Qin, is this the kid you adopted? It's quite interesting."
Qin Yu laughed twice and said to Xiao He: "Now that you're awake, let's go get some supper for the governor."
"Master Sheriff?" Xiao He was stunned, looked at Du Tao, nodded, then turned back to the room and closed the door.
"This brat!" Qin Yu took off his shoes and threw them out.
"Hahaha! This guy is quite interesting." Du Tao laughed.
"Brother Qin, I made you laugh. This brat just needs to be dealt with." Qin Yu said, scratching his head.
"Are you sure you adopted him?" Du Tao asked with a smile.
"Of course, I would like to have one, but I have grown so old that except for my dead mother, I have never touched the hands of any other woman."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Yu thought of the iron-faced Li Yue, whose skin was so smooth that it was unforgettable.
Du Tao looked at Qin Yu thoughtfully and suddenly said: "Brother Qin, do you need a wife? If you ask, how about I give you one?"
"Ah? What?" Qin Yu was in a trance just now and did not hear clearly what Du Tao said.
"Brother Qin, do you need a wife? As long as you ask, how about I give you one?" Du Tao repeated it again.
Qin Yu was surprised, why did this sentence feel so familiar?
"Brother Du, please stop joking. I still hope you will agree to this kind of thing." Qin Yu waved his hand and refused.
"Oh, how many loves can there be in this world, Brother Qin..."
Before he finished speaking, a fire suddenly brightened outside the yard, and there was a burst of restlessness.
"What's going on?" Qin Yu looked out of the yard in confusion.
There was still some time before dawn, so the fire outside was very dazzling.
"No!" Du Tao exclaimed, jumped up, and ran straight to the door.
Qin Yu was stunned for a moment, but then he came to his senses.
"Fuck!" He shouted and ran out in a hurry.
Outside the county captain's mansion, almost all the people in the city gathered together, holding torches in their hands, and surrounded the gate of the county captain's mansion.
Gongsun Qi and Qin Yuan have already ordered their soldiers not to do anything, let alone move.
Du Tao's generals and soldiers were frightened by this scene and hurriedly formed a battle formation to protect the gate of the county captain's mansion behind them.
When the people of Cang County saw a group of unfamiliar soldiers blocking the county captain's mansion, they immediately became anxious, thinking that the county guard was trying to harm Qin Yu, so they shouted and rushed to the county captain's mansion.
"Stop! Stop! If anyone comes forward again, don't blame me for being rude!" The general drew his sword and pointed it at the people who came forward.
"You're welcome? Why are you so rude?" An old man pressed his chest against the sword blade.
"We want to see the Sheriff! What's wrong! Why do you stop us!"
"Come on! If you want to kill us common people, just come on! Stick your sword into my chest!"
The old man roared and tore off his shirt, only to see that the old man's chest was covered with injuries.
These injuries showed that the old man was also a veteran who had been on the battlefield before, and these scars were the old man's glory.
The general was also frightened by the old man's momentum and hurriedly put away the sword in his hand.
"We want to see the Sheriff! We want to see the Sheriff! We want to see the Sheriff..."
Facing the cries of the people, the general panicked and hurriedly sent his men in to report to the county governor.
Just as the general was about to send someone, he saw Du Tao running out.
After Du Tao came out, he was confused when he saw this scene.
This dense crowd of people filled the streets. I'm afraid people from all over the city were here.
Du Tao pushed the general aside, walked to the front, bowed his hands to the people and said, "I am the governor of the county, Du Tao. If you have anything to say, you can tell me."
The old man from before raised his hands and said: "Master Sheriff, it is all thanks to Master Qin that we ordinary people can have enough food and clothing in Cang County now!"
"Your Majesty the Sheriff, Mr. Qin works very hard for our Cang County. He distributes food and clothing to everyone, and goes to the fields with us mud-legged people. He is a good official! Please give me some advice, the Sheriff."
"Yes, Lord Sheriff, Lord Qin is a good official!"
Du Tao was shocked when he saw this scene. He didn't expect Qin Yu to be so popular among the people in Cang County.
Qin Yu who was behind saw this scene and was greatly moved. He also understood the meaning of that sentence and the happiness it brought.
At this moment, a fast horse galloped from a distance.
Seeing that the horses could not pass through the crowd, the soldiers on horseback had no choice but to jump off their horses and try their best to push through the crowd and run towards Du Tao.
"Sir! Oh no, sir!" The soldier stumbled and fell in front of Du Tao.
"Sir, this is bad! The Chu State has accumulated 300,000 troops at the border! Yucheng is in emergency!"
