In Linzi County today, the officials serving there have become mere decorations and have no power to resist.
It's not that they don't want to resist, but that they really have no choice but to let the bandits run rampant in the county, burning, killing and looting.
The official named Fei Yu was a good official who fulfilled his duties, but it was a pity that he only had the ink in his belly and did not have the courage of a military attache.
The gang of bandits had already come three days ago. At that time, there were only a few government officials left to support the scene. The organized militia had long been defeated. The county citizens who had seen the bloody death scenes no longer had the courage. To reorganize the militia, you can only find a place to hide at home or with your family.
"Sir, those bandits are here again." A government official hurriedly ran into the county government office to report to Fei Yu.
"What? Didn't we already have a robbery three days ago? Why are we here again?" Fei Yu secretly complained in his heart.
"Alas, I don't know about the humble position. Nowadays, many places are like ours, and reinforcements from the imperial court arrive for no apparent reason."
Hearing this, Fei Yu's heart fell to the bottom.
Outside the county government office, a group of bandits were riding horses, holding knives, and running up and down the street shouting. County residents have received the news and are hiding in their homes and not daring to come out.
After the bandits made a fuss for a while, they got off their horses, raised their swords, and began to kick open doors from house to house in search of money and food.
The people who thought they could escape today's disaster never imagined that they would be looted if they hid obediently. For a while, wailing and screaming could be heard in the streets and alleys.
Those who had money and food were robbed of their money and food. Those who had no money or food were severely beaten. Some pretty women were targeted, treated frivolously, and were about to lose their innocence.
"stop."
Although the sound was not loud, it was extremely loud in the wailing streets.
The bandits involuntarily stopped what they were doing and turned their heads to look at the person coming.
I saw Fei Yu wearing official uniform, standing in the center of the street.
The thin man held a county government's standard long knife and pointed it at these evildoers.
There was no one behind him, and the county government officials were afraid of losing their lives and did not dare to follow Fei Yu out.
"Hey, isn't this our useless county magistrate? What, do you have any instructions?" a bandit said with a smile.
Fei Yu glanced at him, and then at the woman under him who was about to have her clothes torn off.
Although Fei Yu was scared at this time, there was a fire burning in his chest. As a parent official, he is unable to take responsibility for these people, which makes Fei Yu feel that his ambitions have always been false.
He stepped forward quickly and hacked at the opponent with the long knife in his hand without any plan.
But in the eyes of the other party, Fei Yu is just a non-threatening person.
The bandit dodged Fei Yu's attack as if it were child's play. The two of them advanced and retreated, making the other bandits around them laugh.
"Master County Master, be careful not to hurt yourself."
With that said, the bandit flicked his wrist and the blade directly chopped off the black gauze hat on Fei Yu's head.
Fei Yu knew that he was no match, so he had to protect the poor woman behind him, hold the knife across his chest, and stare at the enemies around him.
"I urge you to leave as soon as possible, otherwise you will be doomed when the court's reinforcements arrive."
"Hahaha, return the reinforcements from the imperial court. My lord, are you really confused or are you pretending to be confused? There are riots everywhere now. No matter how powerful the imperial court is, it is impossible to take care of everything."
"If you know what's going on, go back to your county office and stay there. We won't kill you, just be a coward. Otherwise, you will have to lie here today."
Fei Yu was afraid of death, but still said in a trembling voice:
"Everyone is destined to die. It may be heavier than Mount Tai or lighter than a feather. As a parent official of Linzi County, how can I live alone while abandoning the people of the county?"
"It's so sour, a scholar is a scholar, it's of no use at all."
After saying that, the bandit raised his knife and sprinted, stabbing Fei Yu directly in the stomach.
When.
The sound of iron clashing sounded.
"Master Fei, take her and run away." A government official appeared on the street and shouted.
At the critical moment just now, he was the one who shot an arrow to help Fei Yu escape the siege.
"His grandma, brothers, kill this troublesome guy for me."
The bandit who was almost shot said angrily.
Not only this yamen servant, but other yamen servants appeared at this time, all of whom were hiding in the county yamen just now.
Seeing Fei Yu taking the lead, they felt useless and emboldened themselves to come out.
Fei Yu knew that there was no way to escape, so he could only let go and risk his life.
"Brothers, come on, kill this official and these errands today, and let these county people know what the consequences will be for disobeying us."
At the command, the bandits got on their horses and wanted to charge over.
At the critical moment, a crossbow arrow accurately hit the head of the bandit who was running first from a distance, and penetrated directly into the head, killing him on the spot.
The sound of horse hooves and footsteps approached from far away, from the original black shadow to the more and more real person. I saw Lu Feng arriving with the two sisters in Qingyi and Suyi and a hundred soldiers.
"Kill me."
Lu Feng shouted loudly and took the lead in the charge. The horse galloped under his crotch. Soon, Lu Feng rushed to a bandit. He raised his knife and dropped it, and a human head fell to the ground.
In order to arrive in time, Lu Feng also rushed here non-stop.
The two sides fought hand to hand, shouting loudly.
As soon as Lu Feng fought against these enemies, he knew that Linzi County was inevitable. There are several Mahayana warriors among the bandits. It is surprising that they can be stopped by the government officials and militia alone.
A rough calculation showed that there were more than thirty bandits in this group, and they were no match for Lu Feng and others.
After killing more than a dozen of his companions, the remaining enemies also knew that Lu Feng was not easy to mess with.
"The idea is tough, get out quickly."
When he came he was majestic, but when he ran away he was like a lost dog.
But Lu Feng would not let them go just like that. With a wave of his hand, the one hundred soldiers immediately bent their bows and set arrows, shooting freely at the fleeing enemies.
In addition, the two sisters in Tsing Yi and Su Yi were moving like ghosts, shuttling and assassinating them. Soon, only one bandit with several arrows in his back escaped from the range of the bow and arrow on horseback.
Even if he ran away now, he wouldn't live long.
Lu Feng raised his hand, and the one hundred soldiers put away their bows and arrows.
"Fei Yu, right?"
"That's the official." Fei Yu bowed and asked, "I wonder who your lord is?"
"I have been ordered to lead troops to exterminate bandits. You don't need to know who I am. Let me ask you, apart from these bandits who have been killed, are there any other bandits in Linzi County?"
Fei Yu nodded quickly, "Yes. Ten miles further south in this county is the lair of that gang. They have gathered hundreds of people there, and the money and food they collected are all stored there. All we need to do is kill them all. , the crisis in Linzi County can be resolved."
