Chapter 123: Mr. Bao
"Sir, I'm not doing well, sir~"
In the back house of the county yamen, a yamen runner who was on duty in the front yamen, rolled and crawled into the back house. The shrill shouts immediately broke the tranquility in the mansion.
In the dim night, I don’t know how many people sat up in their dreams, and lights lit up in the houses again, with many screams and scoldings.
"Wang Xiaoliu, why are you yelling? The adults and the third aunt drank a few drinks. They just fell asleep shortly after they fell asleep. Are you desperate?"
Inside the house, a strong figure flashed out from the rockery beside him, and then covered the mouth of the yamen runner.
"Liu, butler Liu?"
The yamen runner widened his eyes and looked at the old man beside him, then looked at the rockery beside him, and couldn't figure out why he came out of the night.
"Go out with me quickly."
The old man pricked up his ears and listened to the movements in the room, pulled the yamen runners and walked out.
"Ah? No, no, it's okay, if something happened to Housekeeper Liu, you must notify Lord Bao."
The yamen runner said that he wanted to break free from the old man's hands.
"What big thing has to be reported now? Isn't it tomorrow?"
"Will you wait for tomorrow? It's a little later that the adults' lives are hard to save. A thief robbed the granary and seized the east gate of the city!"
The yamen runner said sharply.
"What? How is this possible?"
The old man's first reaction was that he didn't believe it. He looked at the dark night in the east of the city, without a trace of fire, and did not hear any sound of fighting.
Moreover, the granary and the defenders of the East City Gate combined have more than 2,000 people. Where did the thieves come from in the city so powerful? Since they have defeated two thousand Da Qianzheng soldiers?
"Oh, this is true. The soldiers who escaped from the East City Gate to report the news were in the front yamen, covered in blood. Is there any falsehood?"
Hearing this, the butler named Liu did not dare to neglect it. He immediately walked towards the house where the county magistrate was sleeping, and then knocked hard on the door.
"Who? I won't see what time it is now? I'll talk about anything tomorrow."
The impatient voice of the county magistrate came from the room.
"Sir, something big happened. The granary and the east city gate were occupied by thieves. The wounded soldiers who fled back to report the news were right in front of them-"
"Bang!"
Before Mr. Liu finished speaking, the door was opened. A fat man with a big belly stood at the door with a gloomy face. It was hard to imagine that such a fat man had such agility and had definitely practiced.
"Have you notified others?"
The county magistrate walked out the door while wearing clothes.
The old butler looked tight and bowed, "Not yet, I'll send someone now."
"Send a few more people, and the speed should be fast, so that the city guards will not be used by me. After joining forces, go directly to suppress the rebellion and must regain the granary."
"Yes, yes, I'll send someone right now."
The old butler answered repeatedly.
Bao Jing's face is so gloomy that water is almost dripping from the water. No one knows the importance of the granary than him. Even if Changqing County is lost, the granary cannot be lost. If this news spreads, it will not be as simple as losing the official position. Many people will directly take his life, such as Prince Qing's Mansion.
"I'll pay homage to Mr. Bao!"
In the inner hall of the front yamen, a man covered in blood saw the fat man walking in from outside and quickly knelt on the ground.
"How many people are there on the other side? How strong is it? Do you know the origin?"
After coming in, Fat County Magistrate Bao Jing waved his sleeves and pressed on the chair to the point.
"There are about one hundred, no, five hundred people, and everyone is wearing armor. Our swords cannot be cut in at all. My brothers resisted hard, but the city gate was finally lost. From the clothes and movements of these people, they should be regular soldiers. As for those with small origins, they are not clear?"
The man looked carefully at the county magistrate sitting on the upper head, his eyes closed and his eyes were sleeping.
"It's invulnerable to swords and guns, which means they are all wearing heavy armor. They can use 500 people to deal with you just five hundred defenders? Do you think I'm a pig?"
Bao Jing's eyes opened, and there was a cold light flashing.
The man felt his scalp numb, and his heart was about to jump out of his throat by the officer. In fact, there were only fifty people attacking the Dongcheng Gate at that time.
But these fifty people pressed down on them and attacked them. Facing these invulnerable soldiers, they had no choice but to see many brothers die, they ran away one by one.
His head was smart and knew that if he did this, he would definitely hold him accountable afterwards, so he came here to report the news, hoping to reduce his guilt.
"I will give you another chance. How many people are there?"
The man shuddered and hurriedly lay on the ground and kowtowed, "Sir, I'm sorry, but I'm wrong. It should be about fifty people."
"You're sure!"
Bao Jing suddenly grabbed the chair's deputy and his fingers turned white.
If you defeated the 500 soldiers on duty in Dongcheng with just fifty people, then the strength of these soldiers should not be underestimated. They are definitely the elite among the elites. Once the opponent has 300 people, the 3,000 soldiers on his side may not be the opponent.
"Yes, there will be no mistakes, I'm sure."
The man must have defeated the last trace of luck in the county magistrate's heart. Only fifty soldiers captured the Dongcheng Gate. How many people were attacking the warehouse? According to the combat power of one to ten, if they wanted to defeat 1,500 defenders, they would have to at least 150 soldiers. By this calculation, the opponent had at least two hundred soldiers!
"I'm in trouble now. Where did the soldier come out?"
Bao Jing's mind was running rapidly, thinking hard about solutions, but in the face of such absolute strength, he found that his resourcefulness seemed to be of no use.
The only way now is to send people out of the city to hire reinforcements. Although the armored soldiers are powerful, they are not invincible. They can injure them as long as they use heavy weapons. Moreover, the heavy armor makes them unable to fight for a long time. As long as they grasp these two points, it is no problem to eliminate these armored soldiers.
Thinking of this, Bao Jing immediately stood up and shouted to the outside, "Come on with the pen and ink."
Soon the yamen runners outside brought in with me.
Bao Jing immediately waved his pen and wrote a letter with his own seal, "You can quickly ride out of the city and send this letter to the garrison's yamen, so that they can send troops to rescue immediately!"
"Abide by the order!"
After the yamen runner took the letter, he hurried out.
After writing the letter, Bao Jing walked back and forth in the inner hall for a few steps, but in the end he couldn't wait any longer, so he left the inner hall and returned to the back house. He picked up a knife and rushed towards the east of the city with a few yamen runners.
Before he could reach the east of the city, a large number of soldiers with abandoned armor were running towards him in front.
