Now Liu Mang's life is going smoothly.
Although Liu Mang provided information last time.
But before he could collect the reward money, he was robbed halfway, so naturally nothing was caught.
Zhao Changsheng saw that he was short of manpower, so he made Liu Mang a white servant under him.
Wearing the clothes of a government servant.
Although Zhao Changsheng did not capture the bandits.
But he was successful in arresting people and killed the enemy bravely.
He was heavily rewarded by the county magistrate.
Zhao Changsheng was promoted to a manager.
He was specially given to look after the dog named Fugui.
Zhao Changsheng handed over this task to Liu Mang.
Recently, Liu Mang would lead his dog when he had nothing to do, and wander around the county house in a showy manner, eating and drinking for free.
After all, this is the county magistrate's dog.
When I go to a restaurant, I just put the dog on the chair.
Ask for food and wine.
Everyone dared to be angry but dared not speak out.
This time, he came out of the restaurant and arrogantly asked the restaurant owner for a few large cakes, saying he would save them for the rich to eat at night.
How could the restaurant owner not know which dog this was for?
But what can be done?
If you are a government servant, if you casually say that you are a bandit.
Then you have to be taken to prison and tortured!
Even if you don't die, you will lose some skin.
The restaurant owner was almost crying as he sent the man and the dog out.
Then he closed the door with great fanfare.
no way.
Originally, in the year of great disaster, there was not much to eat.
These old men come here all day long to eat and drink for free. The kitchen is empty and they really can't work anymore.
"Shopkeeper, why is it closed in broad daylight?"
"What happened to that person just now?"
While the shopkeeper was busy.
Two people came over and asked.
One is a young man with delicate eyebrows, and the other is a middle-aged man with dark skin.
"well……"
"What else can happen?"
"It's unlucky for me to open a store close to the Yamen Gate. These officials rely on their status to keep accounts and don't pay at all."
"We really can't hold it anymore, you two should go somewhere else."
The shopkeeper spat, closed the door and went in to sleep.
These two people are Zhang Bao and Hu Dugu.
When they saw Liu Mang's appearance just now, they didn't dare to recognize him for a moment.
When did Liu Mang become a government official?
"Master, this Liu Mang doesn't have a knife on him, so he is probably just a white servant."
"Let's follow up and take a look."
Hu Dugu said to Zhang Bao.
Zhang Bao nodded.
To put it simply, a white servant is a non-staff servant. The yamen servant can find help by himself. He comes to help when necessary. He takes care of the food but does not receive any salary.
The two of them just followed him all the way.
Liu Mang held the dog in his arms and walked around, picking up whatever he saw.
Finally, he went straight to the Sanhe County Yamen.
Zhang Bao and Hu Dugu could only retreat into an alley.
"It's not easy for my grandson to enter the county government. It's not possible to force his way in."
Zhang Bao frowned.
"Master, there is no need to worry. At least for now, it seems that he doesn't know about Lao He. It must have been transferred to the bandits."
"But it's hard to tell later. I just took a look at the number of yamen servants in the yamen, and there are a lot less than before."
"I guess there will be a chance in the evening. Let's wait until the evening."
Hu Dugu said on the side.
The two of them came to a restaurant, finished eating and drinking, and found an abandoned house in the city to rest for the time being.
Waiting for dark.
At night.
Because of the curfew, the entire county government building was empty.
Zhang Bao and Hu Dugu quietly approached the Yamen.
But I didn't encounter any patrolling government officials.
For those government officials, there is no need to patrol now. Once the city gate is closed, bandits cannot enter at all. There is not even a ghost in the county government at night.
I would never have thought that someone would enter the county government office.
So Zhang Bao and Hu Dugu climbed on the courtyard wall and entered easily.
According to Hu Dugu's inquiry.
These yamen servants are not in the yamen at night.
On the other hand, there are some homeless white servants who live in the side rooms of the Yamen.
Liu Mang was naturally among them.
Wait until Zhang Bao and Hu Dugu came outside.
But I heard shouts coming from inside.
A few white servants are playing with money.
Zhang Bao and Hu Dugu looked at each other and quietly hid in the backyard.
So many people now.
Can't do anything.
The two of them didn't have any weapons now, so it was difficult to kill them with one blow, so they had to hide in the guest room in the backyard for the time being.
Wait until you fall asleep before taking action.
But after the two entered the backyard.
But found out.
There were lights on in a room in the backyard, and there were people talking inside.
Zhang Bao winked at Hu Dugu.
The two approached quietly.
"I don't blame you for this. It's Chen Dadao from Heyang County who doesn't know how to appreciate others."
"But you can't rest any longer. Continue to Nanxiang County. Kong Xuan from Nanxiang County has some friendship with me before."
"Take this letter with you and he will understand it. From now on, you will stay in Nanxiang County and closely monitor Kong Xuan's movements. If anything is wrong, report it to me immediately."
"Go!"
Inside the room, a voice commanded calmly.
Zhang Bao and Hu Dugu quickly lay down in the shadow of the steps.
Not a moment.
I saw a man come out, closed the door respectfully, and walked outside.
Zhang Bao was about to stand up when Hu Dugu pressed his shoulder.
At this time.
Several people came out from the side, and the two of them walked straight in. There were also a few people guarding the door.
Zhang Bao complained secretly.
Now there is a dilemma.
I had no choice but to hold my breath and concentrate, quietly leaning against the wall, not daring to make any sound.
"Sir, Chen Dadao from Heyang County doesn't know how to praise him?"
"Your Excellency, you are the governor, but you don't mobilize your troops despite the instructions you gave me personally. You are simply seeking death!"
A deep voice came from inside.
"It makes sense. Fan Hanzhong saved Chen Dadao's life. Naturally, he will not listen to me so easily."
"But it stands to reason that this time is really not a private matter, but a matter of suppressing bandits."
"This Chen Dadao actually refused. I'm afraid this matter is not that simple!"
"It's very possible -"
"Let them handle the matters here themselves. Let's recuperate and go to Yanghe County as soon as possible."
"Maybe, this might be a good opportunity."
The governor smiled lightly.
Although his arms and legs are still hanging, he has regained his former composure.
"But--"
"Sir, you have already said that you would mobilize troops to suppress the bandits before, but now you have not come, will your prestige be affected..."
The man opposite the governor asked hesitantly.
"Zhao Da, remember, at any time, the result is the most important."
“Those who achieve great things don’t stick to trivial matters!”
"It doesn't matter what a mere county magistrate thinks of you. Everything must be prioritized!"
"Our major task is to split Hezhou and seize the opportunity to capture Fan Hanzhong. The rest is not important."
"Understand?"
The governor said slowly.
"yes!"
"My subordinate understands!"
"Thank you for your teaching, sir!"
The man stepped forward quickly and said.
Zhang Bao, who was outside the house, trembled when he heard what was said inside, and almost screamed.
did not expect.
The person inside turned out to be the governor.
And actually planning to split Hezhou? !
I couldn't help but be shocked.
"who?!"
"come out!"
At this moment.
Suddenly, several people outside the door shouted towards the place where Zhang Bao and the others were hiding.
