Sitting at home with the closed yard door, looking at his frown wife and two sons who were still playing and playing, Yu Jiu couldn't help but sigh again. This day is really difficult. If this continues for a few days, the family will be unable to get rid of the blame.

Yu Jiu is an ordinary small Han vendor in Jinning County. He can support a family of four by walking around the streets and doing diligent business, but that's all, and it's impossible to have much savings.

Then this time, an accident suddenly occurred in the county town. It is said that the Han people had a dispute with the barbarians. The government was still standing on the barbarians and was about to attack many innocent Han people. There were many barbarians outside the city about to come, which scared everyone. No one dared to go out to go out and all hurried at home.

In this way, even if Yu Jiu had the courage to go out to sell anything, he would not be able to attract business. The only thing he could do was to guard his family, keep the door closed, and pray that he would not cause any trouble.

But hiding like this is not a solution. There is not much food left at home. Do you want your wife and children to starve with me? This is something that a man who is a husband and father will never accept. The only way is to obey those people's wishes, everyone unites, go and fight with the barbarians, and fight with the government. But doing so is too dangerous, and it is not something he, a small vendor, dares to take risks.

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang..." A sudden sound of gong interrupted Yu Jiu's sorrow, making him listen curiously, and then the sound of gong stopped, and then a loud shout that was not inferior to the sound of the gong: "Listen, fellow villagers, I have heard that recently, the thief entered Jinning to provoke a dispute between the Han and the barbarian tribes. Although our two tribes have little friction, they have always had a harmonious relationship. You must not hurt the harmony because of a small matter, and give the thief an opportunity to take advantage of..."

When Yu Jiu heard this, he felt a little dissatisfied. He was so empty and false that he could not convince him. Did the government hear some rumors and come to stabilize everyone?

But the subsequent preaching still made him stunned: "This incident only occurred because the two tribes fought in front of the county government office the day before yesterday. The county master will open a public trial tomorrow and will be handled according to the law. There is no bias. If you have any intention, you can go to the county government office lobby after tomorrow!"

This was called two or three times in a row, and then it was changed to the clanging sound of the gongs and slowly left. Obviously, this person was ordered to go around the streets and pass on the government's decision to all parts of the city, so that every citizen knew that the county government had made this decision. This was really a rare practice.

In the past, Jinning County was not like the Central Plains. It would have been held every half a month to give a public trial to the people under its rule. Sometimes there may not be any public trials for half a year. Even if there is, it would not be so popular. The intention of asking the people to come and watch them is to post a notice outside the yamen that most people cannot understand.

But this time, the county government changed its normal state, which really surprised people. But somehow, listening to the sound of the gongs that were leaving and recalling the simple and clear words before, Yu Jiu did not feel suspicious and was willing to believe this statement. Perhaps this was exactly what he wanted to see.

"Is it tomorrow? If it is true, I really want to go over and take a look..." He murmured after pondering.

The same thoughts spread rapidly throughout the county town as the decision to public trial continued to spread. Not only did the Han people want to go to the public trial, but the barbarians also had the same intention. After moving into the city and beginning to integrate into the life of the Han people, these people actually already had the same demands as the Han people and wanted to have a peaceful living environment, but they might not be willing to admit it themselves.

...

Thirty miles outside Jinning City, Baishizhai.

This is the most populous and prestigious place among the more than ten barbarian villages near the county town. Bai Xianhe, the leader here, is also a very important figure in the local area. As long as he climbs a high place and calls out, he dare not say that if he gathers two or three thousand people, it is really not a bad thing to gather two or three thousand people. It can be said that in terms of power, he is above Yin Taibei, the magistrate of Jinning County.

In the eyes of ordinary people, such a big man naturally has few worries, but the fact is just the opposite. Because of this, the burden on him is heavier than anyone else, because he knows that sometimes his thoughts may affect thousands of fellow citizens, especially when there are still large army of government here.

Now, an extremely serious problem has been placed in front of him. The Han and Man in Jinning City are already in a state of great danger. I don’t know when a major chaos will take place. Should he gather people earlier and run over?

He was naturally still hesitating to consider this issue, but the Han man who called himself Liu Xu who sent this issue to him did not have so much patience. He suddenly stared at Bai Xianhe's eyes and said in a deep voice: "Baishou, it's been a whole day. Haven't you made up your mind yet? If you drag it out for a while, the chaos in the city will be together, and many tribesmen will die from the hands of the official army. By then, when the true statement comes, they will not die under the sword of the official army, but your hesitation."

This was really a bit heavy, and Bai Xianhe's face suddenly became dark. When the barbarian leaders next to him were angry when they saw this, they scolded: "Bold, how dare you talk to our leader like this!"

Liu Xu was completely fearless and still looked calm: "Am I wrong? When the breakdown is constantly, the consequences will naturally be borne by you. I know what you are worried about, but have you ever thought that even if you don't move this time, will the people in the government really let you go? Bai Zhu in your village was killed by the government army because she knew the news and wanted to pass it back. Now thousands of Kunming elite soldiers have entered Jinning. They will attack you just by waiting for them to eradicate internal hidden dangers. Are you really willing to be beaten passively?"

These words were both urgent and ruthless, and they heard them in the ears of everyone present, which made their expressions change significantly. Seeing that the leader had not yet made up his mind, someone finally couldn't help but jump up and said, "Head, what he said makes sense. We should hurry up and mobilize our troops and prepare for battle."

Then the other people followed up and agreed. They were all brave and cruel people, and they had always been hostile to the Han people, especially the Han government. At this moment, they naturally wanted to take action first.

They said everything they said, and it really made Bai Xianhe more and more shaken. Liu Xu also took the opportunity to say, "Does the Baitou people have no confidence in their own tribe members, or are they afraid that reinforcements from Kunzhou will come again? Don't worry, my brothers Luo Tian Sect have made many preparations this time. As long as you take action, we will help you, and you will be able to successfully capture Jinning and defeat the official army. Moreover, the revenge of the tribe members is always avenged, right?"

After all this, even though Bai Xianhe had concerns, he could not resist the other leaders' persuasion. He could only ponder: "Then send someone to contact the villages and prepare to raise an army..."

When he heard this sentence that he wanted to hear the most, Liu Xu was immediately happy. Just as he wanted to say a few more words, a person outside the door hurried in. Regardless of the fact that the leaders here were still discussing the matter, he said to Bai Xianhe: "Header, there are a few Han people coming outside, claiming that they have come to tell you about the matter under the order of the magistrate of Jinning County, but do you want to see me?"

This made everyone present stunned, but then, without waiting for the other people to object, Bai Xianhe ordered: "Call him in and talk."

Liu Xu felt nervous when he heard this. This matter was too coincidental. Why did the government send someone to come just as he was about to convince the other party? As far as he knew, the government in Yue Dynasty had never been so polite in the past. At most, it would be to send someone to let these barbarian leaders meet at the county government. This matter is wrong, and there is a problem!

Although he realized that the person who came back this time was not good, he was a guest after all, so he was naturally not able to make the decision for Bai Xianhe and not let the county envoy come in. He could only twist his body uneasyly and glance at the others around him. The people were obviously a little surprised at this time, with a little hostility or suspicion, but he didn't say anything. The white-headed man's prestige in the village was still quite high.

In this strange silence, four men entered the main hall around the barbarians. The young man who was leading the way glanced at Bai Xian and gave a greeting to Wei: "Li Ling, I have seen a white-headed man."

When Liu Xu heard him report his name, he frowned even more. This name was a bit familiar. He seemed to have heard of it somewhere. It should be an important enemy mentioned in the sect?

The barbarians over there didn't have such an idea, but they still maintained the vigilance they should have and looked at them carefully: "What are you officials here for doing? What important things can you have with us?"

Li Ling did not feel unhappy or uneasy because of the other party's hostile attitude, but still looked smiling: "I wonder if the white-headed people and everyone's hearts, more than 3,000 people from Baishi Village, as well as the surrounding villages, and the lives of many tribes in Jinning County are important?"

"Bang!Bang!Bang!Bang..."

As soon as Li Ling finished speaking, the sound of slapping the table was rising and falling. Many leaders had suddenly stood up and glared at him fiercely. Several people even pulled out all the swords with them. It seemed that as long as Bai Xianhe did not object, they would immediately pounce on him and dismember Li Ling and his several random swords.
