Ci Jinzhi Chapter 284

Chapter 284 Captured

Jin Linwei is used to seeing **** scenes, and he is not afraid of riding a horse with corpses at all.

The group mounted their horses, taking with them the horses of the masters who had lost their master, and returned to Lingxian County with great momentum.

The people entering and exiting the city gate were shocked when they saw the movement: "Oh no, the bandits are coming to attack the city!"

When the soldiers guarding the city gate heard this, they were so frightened that they hurriedly closed the city gate. One of them realized that something was wrong: "Wait a minute, it seems they are officers and soldiers-"

Far away from the distance, I saw the horseshoe flying, the smoke rolled, and the front rider was in a vermilion, which was particularly conspicuous.

In a blink of an eye, the team was approaching. The big red flying fish uniforms were dazzling under the scorching sun. Behind them, more than ten people were wearing uniform black flying fish uniforms, solemn and majestic.

“It's Jinlinwei!” Someone recognized him and his eyes widened.

 Jinlinwei?

 Did something big happen?

 “Look at those adults on their horses!”

 This distance was enough for them to see the man lying across the horse.

At this time, people had not realized that it was a corpse. As the horse stopped, they shouted with sharp eyes: "Dead people, those on the horse's back are all dead people!"

Under the scorching sun, people's faces turned pale, as if they were falling into an icy purgatory.

"Jinlin Guards!" Huang Cheng raised his token and revealed his identity, "We were escorted southward by the emperor's order, but unexpectedly encountered robbers on the way. We are sending the captured bandits to the county government. Please give up as soon as possible. Get on your way!"

These words were not polite, but the people listening took them for granted.

This is the Jinlin Guard beside the emperor, and it is normal for him to be arrogant and wanton.

The little official guarding the city gate approached cautiously, checked the token, and respectfully let people into the city.

“Excuse me, where is the county government?” He Qingxiao asked the people who were crowded together not far or near.

He was very well-behaved and his tone was gentle. The people in that direction hesitated for a moment before someone spoke to him: "Follow this road to the fork in the road and turn left..."

Xin You sat on the horse and raised his hands to the other side: "Can you please lead the way? We all ride horses and carry swords. These bandits dare to rob. It is conceivable that they must be extremely vicious people who are causing trouble. I Now that I encounter someone when I go south to do business, I can't turn a blind eye and want to discuss with the county magistrate how to eliminate banditry for the people."

 After hearing what Xin You said, many people expressed their willingness to lead the way.

On the way to the county government, a brave man saw that Xin You was dressed differently from the Jinlin guards and had a delicate and kind face. He asked curiously: "Are you Mr. Xin who is being escorted by the adults?"

As soon as these words came out, Xin You immediately felt countless eyes falling on her.

"I am."

The smile on the young man's lips made the person who asked the question even more bold: “Can you really let the government send troops to suppress the bandits?”

Ordinary people think very straightforwardly. Jinlin Guards are powerful, and those who can be escorted by Jinlin Guards are even more powerful.

 Bandits are not new in recent times. In the past, we occasionally heard about someone who passed by a certain place and had their property robbed. People sympathized with the person and thought he was unlucky.

　　But this is no longer the case. Those bandits are not merciless in killing people. In less than two months, several families in the county alone died at the hands of bandits during funerals.

It would be great if these passing adults could persuade the county master to send troops to suppress the bandits.

Faced with countless expectant eyes, Xin You said in a kind tone: "Then we have to meet with your county magistrate first and discuss it before we know. Don't worry, everyone, we are just going to discuss it."

 “That's great…” Many people in the crowd murmured with red eyes.

  It is related to the stability of life in the future. Although the corpses of bandits on horseback are shocking, more and more people are following the team and heading all the way to the county government.

 “Sir, this is it.”

The people leading the way were not one person, but a group of people, and they all shouted after stopping.

The county government officer who was guarding the gate was shocked by the battle. After asking about the situation, he hurriedly went to report it. There was nothing going on in the Yamen today. Zheng Zhixian was drinking tea, but his eyelids were twitching.

Those bandits should have captured the two official servants from the capital, right?

The two Ministry of War officers sent the bandits and said that when they returned to Beijing after completing their mission, they would report the rampant banditry around Ling County and cooperate to eliminate the bandits.

As soon as he heard this, he decided to get rid of these two officials by using the hands of bandits.

The court really came to the court, captured those mountain bandits, and forced him to accept the bribes of the mountain bandits, but the end of the family was copied.

Zheng Zhixian is not worried about whether the death of two official servants will cause trouble.

There are many mountains and rivers here. If someone is killed and thrown into the cliffs and rivers, no one will be seen alive or dead, and no body will be found. Who can hold him accountable?

 In any case, the dead are the safest.

Zheng Zhixian thought so rationally, but after all, he was attacking people in the imperial court, so he still felt a little uneasy.

At this time, the Yamen servant ran in and reported: "Sir, many Jinlin Guards have arrived, and the leader is the Governor of Jinlin Guards North Town!"

When Magistrate Zheng heard this, he stood up suddenly and asked, "Where are these people? Why are they here?"

“I just arrived outside the government office. I said I encountered bandits on the road and robbed me. I subdued the bandits and sent them to the county government office.”

 Have any other officials in the DPRK encountered bandits?

Zheng Zhixian's first reaction was that the people in Wuyun Village were too arrogant, and he wanted to beat them back to stop being too presumptuous.

Zheng Zhixian naturally knew the identity of the envoy of Jinlin Weibei Town and did not dare to delay going out to greet him. He walked out and stopped for a few steps.

Twice a day, someone from the imperial court sent bandits to the county government office. Isn't it a coincidence?

 Other auxiliary officials and subordinate officials walked out of their respective offices one after another and gathered around Zheng Zhixian.

“Your Majesty, I heard that the Jinlin Guards are coming from outside…”

Zheng Zhixian suppressed his suspicion and straightened his back: "Go and greet him first."

All the officials followed Magistrate Zheng as they walked outside the county government office. Most of them looked nervous because of Jin Linwei's name.

One of the men, a square-faced man in his thirties, was not nervous, but his eyes were shining with hope.

 This person is the county magistrate of Ling County, his surname is Yang, and his status is only lower than that of Zheng County Magistrate.

Of course, this was only on the surface. In fact, because he was dissatisfied with Zheng Zhixian's perfunctory work in suppressing bandits, he was ostracized a lot overtly and covertly.

When Prime Minister Yang heard about the arrival of Jinlin Guards, he thought to himself: If Jinlin Guards reported the rampant banditry to the emperor, Magistrate Zheng would no longer be able to pretend to be ignorant.

Zheng Zhixian led his subordinates out of the gate of the county government office, and the laughter that he had just spoken was suddenly stuck.

The number of people in front of me is countless, and pairs of eyes contain excitement and expectation.

 Why are there so many ordinary people joining in the fun?

Zheng Zhixian subconsciously frowned, then quickly smiled and greeted the young man in the red official uniform: "I have seen the governor of Hezhen."

　　Not to mention the majestic official uniform, just coming to the county government office with such a loud voice cannot be fake.

He Qingxiao showed his token to Magistrate Zheng and asked, "Are you the Magistrate of Ling County?"

 After seeing the token, Magistrate Zheng became more respectful: "Zheng Ming, Magistrate of Xiaguanling County."

 “I have long admired the name Zheng Zhixian.”

As soon as He Qingxiao finished speaking, two Jinlin guards, one on the left and one on the right, suddenly stepped forward and held Magistrate Zheng down.
