Chapter 486 Appalling
Wu Nian frowned and thought to himself.
"Just now he calmly gave my son a good name. Why is he like this now?"
Wu Nian let go of the horse's rein and asked a soldier to come up and hold the horse for Li Ya. He came to the corridor, raised his head and asked Liu Zhixing, "Zhixing. What happened?"
"General, something happened in Yuan County."
Liu Zhi was walking so fast that he was out of breath. He bent down and rested with his hands on his knees, then handed the black-covered booklet in his hand to Wu Nian.
At present, all official documents in the three counties use this system.
"Yuan County?" Wu Nian's eyes flashed. The county magistrate over there is Wang Youxiao, and the guard is Zhang Jin. What can happen?
Judging from Liu Zhixing's expression, it didn't seem like there was an invasion from a foreign enemy.
Wu Nian shook his head, reached out and took the book, opened it, and started reading. After reading it line by line, Wu Nian's face turned black and he cursed: "I just relied on one chance after another to make it.
We only took back three counties from the hands of the Meng Yuan people. The Meng Yuan people are still strong and tyrannical, and they are watching with eager eyes. But some people think that the world is peaceful. I really don't know what to say."
Wu Nian angrily threw away the book in his hand.
"Hey." Liu Zhixing sighed, folded his hands on his lower abdomen, and remained silent.
"Dad, what happened?" Seeing that her old father was angry, Li Ya quickly got off her horse, came to Wu Nian's side, hugged Wu Nian's arm, and asked in a low voice.
"Uncle." Zhang Zhen put away the steel knife, came to Wu Nian covered in sweat, cupped his fists and saluted.
"It's okay. You can either practice martial arts or ride horses. Just do your own thing." Wu Nian waved his hands towards them, then looked up at the soldiers and said, "Call the troops from five hundred households and follow me to Yuan County.
"
Having said this, Wu Nian looked up at the sky and said, "Let's set off tomorrow."
"yes."
A soldier responded, turned around and went down.
Li Ya, Zhang Zhen looked at Wu Nian, turned around and left obediently. After a while, Wu Nian calmed down, bent down to pick up the folded book he had thrown away, and patted the dust. He raised his head and said to Liu Zhixing:
"Zhixing, please go back."
"Yes." Liu Zhixing bent down and walked away with steady steps.
Wu Nian sat on the bench, opened the booklet again and started reading. This time he didn't curse, but he frowned deeply.
Things are not complicated.
Now that life is getting better, some people are starting to enjoy themselves.
There is a Baihu under Zhang Jin's command, named Liu Zhongting. He is a veteran of the Beishan Fort army in the past. He accumulated military exploits and became a Baihu.
In the year of Wu, the finances here were not rich, and soldiers did not receive food and salary. But officials, such as small banners, general banners, hundreds of households, thousand households, etc., would be given a certain amount of money.
There are also military merits divided into fields and houses, and given to maidservants and domestic slaves.
Liu Zhongting accumulated military exploits to hundreds of households, received many good things, and lived a good life. But this man was greedy and arrogant.
He actually learned from the bad habits of former Liaodong generals and used soldiers as tenants, cultivating fields and building houses for them.
Wu Nian knows best what the generals of Liaodong were like in the past.
Now the Mongolian people are still in Liaodong and are very powerful. This guy is already like this.
This guy has shit in his head.
If it was just like this, Wu Nian wouldn't be so angry. Liu Zhongting also killed a concubine. Although this concubine entered the husband's family, her status was low.
This is something that can't be helped.
But it is still a human life after all. Liu Zhongting must give a reason for killing someone. If the concubine Hongxing cheats on her or commits other crimes, she can sue the official to deal with it.
Liu Zhongting did not report it to the officials and killed him privately.
And when this happened, the army did not report it. That is to say, other hundreds of households, thousands of households, and the captain Zhang Jin either didn't know about it, or turned a blind eye.
This matter was discovered by Wang Youxiao, the magistrate of Yuan County, and reported to the police.
Wang Youxiao personally led people and detained Liu Zhongting.
I don’t know what’s going on now. Will the army cause trouble?
"Brother, brother. What are you doing?" Wu Nian felt helpless in his heart. Zhang Jin, the eldest brother, had been familiar with military books since he was a child, and he was also good at leading troops in war.
What happened this time?
This matter may cause a big fuss.
Wu Nian had to take care of it.
On that day, Wu Nian arranged private and official affairs, and early the next morning, he led five hundred troops and rushed to Yuan County.
.............
Yuan County.
Since Wu Nian captured the city, the population that had fled to Beishan Fort returned, allowing the city to regain some of its former prosperity.
After Wang Youxiao took office, he also did a lot of practical things.
Build water conservancy projects, encourage farmers to cultivate, and build schools.
He took out all the governance methods that he mentioned in front of Wu Nian that day. Although his time as county magistrate was still short, his prestige had been established.
As long as this continues, great governance in the county will be just around the corner.
But something big happened in Yuan County today.
Wang Youxiao took advantage of Liu Zhongting's unpreparedness and took all the government officials to arrest Liu Zhongting and forcibly escorted him back to the county government office.
Liu Zhongting's soldiers and colleagues were dissatisfied and gathered around the county government office.
The gate of the county government office was closed tightly, and the government servants and domestic slaves were hiding in the county government office, shivering.
Four to five hundred warriors were either armed with steel knives or spears, and there were also archers who drew their bows full circle and assumed an attacking posture.
"Wang Youxiao, you are such a bad county magistrate, please release us Liu Baihu immediately. Otherwise, we will attack the county government office and find you out."
"That's right. Don't think that because you are a county magistrate, we don't dare to do anything. We are soldiers under the general's command and have shed blood for the general."
"Wang Youxiao..."
A few leaders stood up and yelled at the county government at the top of their voices.
A proud and powerful general with a murderous intent.
Inside the county government office, on the main hall.
Wang Youxiao was wearing a blue gown and was sitting on the main seat with an expressionless face. Liu Zhongting was standing in the hall, tied up with five flowers, and four government officials were watching beside him, looking nervous.
This Liu Baihu is also brave and good at fighting.
Even though they were tied up, they did not dare to let down their guard.
"Wang Youxiao. I asked you to meddle with your own business, but something will happen now? Let me tell you, let me go before things get too big. I'll pretend that nothing happened."
Liu Zhongting raised his head, revealing a face full of flesh, and looked at Wang Youxiaodao rebelliously.
"It's too late. The matter has already become a big deal. I have already sent someone to deliver the paper to General Fuhan's Mansion." Wang Youxiao glanced at Liu Zhongting and said.
"Haha. Don't scare me with the general. When I followed the general and shed my blood, you didn't know where you were. General, kiss me or you?"
