Chapter 93 County Magistrate's Response
Liu He kept imagining in his mind what his future children would be like, whether they would be a man with both civil and military skills like himself, or a heroic woman with both talent and appearance like Zhang Yu.
"Oh, that's wrong! It's April now, and there are still eight months left in the tenth month of pregnancy, which means that the Yellow Turban outbreak will happen soon after my child is born!"
The emergence of this idea made Liu He suddenly become extremely firm in his belief in protecting Huangshui Township and even Langtiao County. Once Langtiao County fell, Huangshui Township would definitely not be able to defend a single village. When the time came, he would have to take it with him
His wife and children were fleeing in all directions. Liu He felt terrible when he thought about this scene.
"No! We absolutely cannot let this happen!"
Liu He's mind was spinning rapidly, as if he had never used his brain so well in the past forty-eight years.
But as the saying goes, caring leads to chaos. Liu He, who was originally quite intelligent, suddenly became anxious and all kinds of ideas came to his mind.
"Tomorrow we will find a way to notify the county magistrate and ask him to be more vigilant. Although Taiping Road is now very famous, the dog officer may not listen to it, but he must give it a try! In addition, the training of the Anmin Army must be stepped up. From now on, we will train for three days
The first training will be changed to a daily training! We also need to pay close attention to mining and forging soldiers!"
Liu He originally did not intend to reveal this matter. Firstly, not only would no one believe him, but he might also attract gossip. Secondly, Taiping Dao was so powerful that if the news got to their ears, they would find him.
If you come to your door and want to kill people and silence them, you will be in trouble.
In addition, Liu Heben also thought that taking advantage of the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he might have the opportunity to take control of Langtiao County and complete the hidden mission.
But now, when it comes to his wife and children, no matter what scruples and worries Liu He has in his heart, he can't care about them. Even if there is just the slightest chance, he will never let it go. He must fight for one.
An environment that is as safe as possible is important. As for system tasks, if they are not completed, they will be put down. Nothing is as important as my wife or as important as my children.
Early the next morning, Liu He sent an alert and eloquent Xiang Yong to give a detailed explanation and sent him to the county town to report the Taiping Road incident to the county magistrate.
When the messenger explained everything Liu He had told him in detail, the county magistrate was really frightened and he quickly summoned the civil servants in the government to come over for discussion.
Yang Zhe, the magistrate of Langtiao County, is a man who looks like a Confucian scholar in his thirties. He was originally a descendant of a down-and-out family. A few years ago, he ruthlessly sold off his already depleted family property and donated it to such a magistrate.
position.
Fortunately, he had been studying since he was a child, so he had some knowledge and ability, and was barely competent, so he held this position fairly securely for a few years.
Originally, he didn't care about the township warrior army organized by Liu He and others. However, in recent years, the township warrior army has repeatedly attacked and eradicated large and small cottages and thousands of bandits, which made him, the county magistrate, take advantage of it.
Moreover, the county magistrate falsely reported his merits and received many rewards, so he still had a good impression of Liu He and others. If not, he would not have listened to the news that Liu He sent people to tell him now.
, and will not even meet the messenger at all.
But the news was too big, too scary, and too big for him to decide, so he quickly called all the officials in the county.
At this time, Yang Zhe was sitting on the main seat of the conference hall, with a sad face.
"Everyone, just now Liu He, the brave man of Huangshui Township, sent someone to deliver a shocking news to this county. This county doesn't know how to deal with it, so I specially invite you to come and discuss it."
The seven or eight people sitting below looked at each other, wondering what kind of news could make the county magistrate panic like this.
"This matter is extremely important, and this county doesn't know whether we should believe it. And even if it is true, it is definitely beyond our ability to contend."
"As for Liu He, the Taiping Road led by the great sage Zhang Jiao from Jizhou has shown many signs of dispatching troops and generals in recent days. And according to people in a mountain stronghold that their local brave team destroyed, there have been
The people from Taiping Road went to persuade these bandits and bandits to surrender, claiming that it would not be long before Taiping Road would obey God's will and raise troops to seize the Han Dynasty. So Liu He came to report to me and asked the county to report to the court.
Make preparations to deal with it.”
As soon as Magistrate Yang said this, the seven or eight officials below were so frightened that they almost fell off their seats.
"This... how is this possible? That Zhang Jiao is just a preacher. He usually does some things to cure diseases and save people. Even though there are many disciples and believers are spread all over the world, they are just ordinary people. How can he have such courage?
How about being an enemy of the imperial court?"
Everyone obviously didn't believe it, or couldn't believe the news.
These people are all members of the aristocratic families in Langtiao County, or local powerful people. Naturally, they have read books and have this knowledge.
Bingzhou and Jizhou are separated by the Taihang Mountains. Over the years, Taiping Road has developed very rapidly. It has long been spread across Hebei, You, Qing, Yan and other states. Although there is no trace of Taiping Road in Bingzhou yet, it is spread all over the surrounding states and counties.
Once Taiping Dao believers raise their eyebrows and cause trouble, and Bingzhou is besieged on all sides, their good days will naturally come to an end for those who are accustomed to sitting on top of the people and dominating others, and they may not even be able to save their lives.
County Magistrate Yang took one look at the expressions of these people, felt angry in his heart, cursed "trash" secretly, and then turned his attention to his good friend Yan Chi who had followed him to take up the post in Langtiao County.
Although Yan Chi did not have an official position, he was a wise man. He had known him for more than ten years and gained his trust. All the other county magistrates and county lieutenants would give him a thumbs-up.
Yan Chi looked at his old friend's eyes and knew that now he had to stand up and speak out.
As soon as everyone saw him coming out, they immediately became quiet.
"Ahem... um..." Yan Chi cleared his throat and said, "This matter is of great importance. In fact, we don't have to worry about it. We will report it directly to the prefect and leave it to him to make a decision."
Magistrate Yang frowned slightly as he heard this. It was not that he had never thought of this approach, but he still had his own concerns.
"My dear brother, I have thought about this as a brother, but my dear brother also knows that my position as county magistrate was donated and has no family background to support me. Over the years, I don't know how many children from aristocratic families have been eyeing my position, just because of this Langtiao County
He is not considered rich, and he has nothing wrong with him. He even won a reward from the prefect for pretending to be Liu He's bandit suppression, and then he was able to sit in peace. If this matter is reported and found to be false, then he will only
Afraid……"
Magistrate Yang did not continue, but the meaning was already very clear.
Yan Chi had known him for many years, and of course he knew very well what his old friend was thinking. As soon as he rolled his eyes, he thought of a way.
"Sir, my foolish brother has a way. If what Liu He said is true, the final credit belongs to you. If it is false, you don't need to worry about being implicated."
When Magistrate Yang and other officials heard this, they immediately became energetic.
"Brother, tell me quickly!"
"It's very simple, recruit people!" Yan Chi expressed his idea.
Chapter completed!
