Chapter 665 Nothing to do
The old dog blushed at first.
His image in Guzhuang has always been quite strong, not afraid of heaven or earth, but in short, it is completely different from when he was in the Yongyi Army before.
Even many of the brothers of Yong Yijun came to Guzhuang to see him, but they were a little afraid to recognize him for a while.
Now I want to tell the villagers about the lazy skills he had figured out back then, which really affected his heroic image.
But as he talked, he became interested. The old dog was also quite thick-skinned, so how could he be afraid of ridicule?
After talking for a while, the old dog breathed out: "Actually, you may not be able to do it all in all my words. Now I would like to emphasize two points. First, don't be passionate about blood. If you really feel bloody, then think about your people, your father, mother, your wife and children. If you die, our princess will definitely be buried with a grand funeral, and your parents and relatives will definitely take care of it. But you have also said that the princess is kind and righteous, and has the ability. With the princess, isn't it better to live than die?"
The old dog smiled: "I didn't think that living was like anything before, but I didn't dare to die. The sick and weak family were still very young. Without my strong labor, the old and young family couldn't live anymore. Now it's different. Good days are coming, so we naturally have to work hard to live."
Qiu Li sat by the window and rolled her eyes when she heard it at the end, and she was a little annoyed: "Brother Wang, you are wrong. Now that Shouling County is surrounded, if the city is broken and the Yongyi army is wiped out, wouldn't this area become a bandit world? It really reached that point, even if our Guzhuang villagers can be safeguarded, we will escape, escape to the mountains, or migrate the whole village, run away in a mess, and flee to a foreign land..."
"That's great!"
Before Qiu Li finished speaking, the villagers who were trained in front of the door were immediately exploded.
Several people were fascinated.
"My family has just opened three acres of wasteland, and the land has just been fattened. My mother is seventy years old. She left her hometown and left her saved family business. Oh, I won't do it!"
"No, where can I escape? We don't want the Gu Ji Restaurant? We don't want the newly built house? We don't want the chickens, ducks, geese, cattle and sheep? We still raise a calf in my family on the farm, and we're waiting to take it home. Now we're running away, can the calf be taken away?"
"Running! You want to run away, I'm not happy. Who dares to come to Guzhuang? I'm going to have to kill him even if I have to fight this life!"
Others were also clamoring.
Old dog: "…"
After savoring it, he suddenly realized that he was thinking so.
In the past, he was scammered and cheated. When he met a job of suppressing bandits, he could hide when he could, and he would not work hard. He always shouted loudly. When he was really good at taking action, he would definitely not rush forward.
But what about now?
Now he has his own home in Guzhuang.
The little lady arranged for him a green brick and green tiles, and a unique courtyard. There were seven large rooms in the house alone. As long as he worked in the Gu family for ten years, this courtyard belonged to him.
In fact, he already earns a lot of wages every year and has a lot of bonuses. After saving for a while, he can afford it to go to the county town to buy a house, but now the status of this set given to him by his own little wife is quite high in his heart.
What kind of guys are those bandits? How can he not know? If they are allowed to break through the county town and occupy Shouling, then if the villagers want to survive and continue to live a stable life, they can only go one way, which is to leave Shouling County.
"It's so cheap to leave your hometown!"
If you leave home, you will lose most of your life.
After a while, the old dog wiped his face and whispered in a low voice: "Little lady, don't worry, our brothers will not take the initiative to seek death."
"But if anyone wants to harm our village and let our parents and brothers live this ordinary life, I am willing to fight with him. I must fight to the death."
Gu Xiang listened to the shouts, his smile calmed down and his expression was frozen, but he was stunned for a while, and curled up the corners of his lips and smiled: "...Okay."
Shouling County.
The dusk mist is heavy.
The wind keeps blowing, but the fog cannot be dispersed.
The weather was so wet and cold, and a stream of cold air penetrated into the bones.
The entire county town was dead and silent without any movement.
"Hey, this bandit is not new."
In the small restaurant opposite the county government office, the old man in his twilight years was circling around like a headless fly and didn't know what to clean up. "Don't think about me anymore. Take my eldest grandson out and leave it for our family."
The old man looked at the sky outside and sighed, "Natural disasters and man-made disasters are all impossible."
This is the fourth day when bandits siege the city.
This morning, the group of bastards broke into the city gate again. At that time, the old man stood on the wall of his house and watched, with blood all over the ground. Even Sun Sangang, who was guarding the county government, got on the top of the city and barely knocked out of the city again.
"Why."
The weather for longevity has not been very good in recent years. This year, this year will be drought, next year, and locusts will come again the year after. People's lives are like a pot of boiling water with white air.
If the county government office is not satisfactory, it means that it can only help the soup and stop the boiling.
The year is better, and the few people starve to death, so the days of this year will be peaceful.
As the years go by, the people will eventually cause some trouble in order not to starve to death.
"I remember telling you whom I was the county magistrate when I became the county magistrate, to let me be in harmony with the government and not to close my door at night... what did you say to you?"
Magistrate Wang squatted in the back hall of the yamen with a pair of dark circles, rubbing his face with a scribble in cold water, while looking at Zhou County Magistrate in a daze.
County Magistrate Zhou's face was worse than that of him, all turned gray and his eyes were straight.
The two Zhouxianwei family members looked at each other from a distance and could not feel any worry on their faces. They were simply afraid that the husband would never get up again just after closing his eyes.
County Magistrate Zhou was stunned for a while: "...Yes, in the first year, we suppressed twice. The first time was summer and the second time was winter?"
After that, I didn't seem to have seriously suppressed the bandits.
There is no way to suppress it.
Both of them didn't say anything for a moment, and they sighed.
"How to suppress it? But where can we distinguish between the bandits and the common people?"
The bandits are vast, and many of the copycats look like a village. The weather is good, they farm, but the weather is not good, so they go down the mountain to rob.
All bandits have to rely on the village behind them. In the bad years, the boys in the village were sent to the mountains to be bandits. Maybe they could still make a living. If they didn't send them, they would be dead.
But becoming a bandit is just a chance to live longer, and few people can really live long.
Magistrate Wang and County Magistrate Zhou did not start to be a bad person since they became officials on the first day. After struggling, they found that they were really not geniuses. Without the ability of those famous ministers who have been famous throughout the ages, they could not survive this small county town.
"I have done everything I can."
After Wang entered the officialdom, all the levies that could be saved were stopped. It could almost be said that he was not greedy for a penny. He had been firmly in the position of magistrate over the years and had no hope of promotion. It was probably because of his unsociable behavior.
