Chapter 30 Xue Jing’s actions

Master Meng frowned and was about to go forward to ask. Before he had walked a few steps, he saw two county soldiers holding out their spears towards him.

"My lord has an order. No one is allowed to leave or enter the city today. Anyone who violates this will be executed on the spot!"

Mr. Meng took a breath of cold air and realized that something big was about to happen. He turned around and got into the car and told the driver to turn around. He did it in one go without any sloppiness.

"Master, where are we going?" the coachman asked while still outside.

Mr. Meng calmed down and thought for a moment, "County government!"

The coachman received the order and said loudly again, "You've got to drive~". The carriage galloped towards the county government office again.

On the carriage, Mrs. Meng was startled and nervously grabbed Master Meng's sleeve: "What's going on?"

"The troops are gathering at the gate of the city, fearing that they will go out to drive out the bandits."

Mrs. Meng's face turned pale, "What about Harmony!"

Mr. Meng only felt a headache. He stretched out his chubby hand and rubbed the center of his brow, "Let's see Mr. Xue first."

At this moment, the county government office was filled with a large number of people, all of whom were minor officials of the county government office.

Xue Jing was wearing an authentic official uniform and a black gauze that he did not usually wear, and looked at everyone with a serious expression.

"As you all know, the bandits who have been wandering near Yongcheng all year round have recently moved to the boundary of Baibei Mountain outside Qiongzhou County. Since the bandits came here, bad things have happened from time to time. One civilian was robbed in three days, and one in five days.

A case of murder of common people. The evil deeds of bandits are too numerous to mention!"

Everyone in the county government was very angry. A man who looked like a martial artist said angrily: "The bandits have done many evil things! They must not be punished for their crimes!"

"Yang County Lieutenant is right!" Xue Jing roared suddenly and raised his hand to wave boldly, "I can't wait to get rid of such evil thieves who harm the people with my own hands! I am just a scholar and I am weak..."

"Master Xue, don't worry, we are willing to do our best for the peace of the people!" the crowd shouted.

With tears in his eyes, Xue Jing bowed deeply to everyone and said: "Then today I will rely on all the local sages to lead our county soldiers to Baibei Mountain, and work together to drive away the bandits and avoid future troubles forever!"

Everyone raised their spirits, "Drive out the bandits and avoid future troubles forever!"

Seeing the excitement among the crowd, the master came out from the back hall and whispered: "Sir, Master Meng is here and wants to see you."

Xue Jing's expression remained unchanged and he whispered: "Let him wait."

After the momentary excitement, everyone suddenly reacted. County Lieutenant Yang set an example and stepped forward and asked: "Master Xue, I don't know where the bandits are. How should we act?"

"Don't worry," Xue Jing spread out a map as if he had expected it. The appearance of Baibei Mountain was drawn on it.

"I have inquired in advance. The bandits are in the den on the back of Baibei Mountain."

"The backside of Baibei Mountain?" asked a middle-aged man.

"good."

The middle-aged man looked embarrassed, and several others hesitated after reacting.

Seeing this, Xue Jing asked: "How is it? What's the problem for you guys?"

The middle-aged person said: "Xue County Magistrate is not a local, so he naturally doesn't know the rumors about Baibei Mountain. It is said that there are ferocious beasts on the back of Baibei Mountain. In the early years, the land was barren. Our ancestors once wanted to reclaim the back of Baibei Mountain. Anyone who goes to the backside

Everyone died inexplicably, and even the bones were not found."

"That's it..." Xue Jing looked surprised and hesitant, but slowly his eyes filled with tears, "Are we, the people of Baishui County, going to have to be in danger day and night from now on...

"

The middle-aged man thought for a while and finally said firmly: "Don't worry, magistrate, I'm willing to give it a try!"

Several other people also said: "We are also willing to go!"

"Okay." Xue Jing's eyes filled with tears, his thin face full of gratitude to everyone.

County Lieutenant Yang also wiped his eyes with his hands, walked to the map and said, "Master Xue, please continue the discussion."

Xue Jing adjusted his mood, walked over, pointed at the map and said: "Follow this road up, and if you do this..."

"Do you know the number of bandits?"

Xue Jing's eyes darkened slightly, "There are about a hundred people."

Yangxian Lieutenant was instantly happy and said: "There are only a hundred bandits, but our county soldiers are almost a thousand people. We will surely capture them all!"

After the discussion, everyone was ready to set off. Xue Jing suddenly stopped everyone, slowly took off the black gauze, and bowed heavily to everyone.

"Xue Jing relies on you and looks forward to your triumphant return!"

In the back hall, Mr. Meng and his wife had been sitting here for a long time, and they had to refill the tea many times before they saw Xue Jing's figure coming out from there.

Master Meng hurried forward and asked urgently: "Master Xue, what's going on at the city gate?!"

Xue Jing looked confident, put his hand on Master Meng's shoulder, and patted him gently: "Don't panic, I have made arrangements to go to Baibei Mountain to drive away the bandits today."

"Mr.

"Mr. Meng," Xue Jing interrupted coldly, and then showed a very genuine smile, "I received news that my people have found Miss Meng. She is fine now and is not seriously ill. Just wait for Bai Beishan

If the bandits are expelled, Miss Meng will naturally come back."

Mr. Meng was still a little worried. Seeing Xue Jing's vow, he didn't dare to say anything else, so he should be.

"Then please ask Master Meng and Madam to wait for Miss Meng's return at the county government office." Xue Jing ordered someone to come again, "Take the two distinguished guests down to rest."

Mr. Meng still hesitantly followed the boy out of the lobby. Mrs. Meng had not spoken just now, and then she whispered: "Master, is Heyin really okay?"

Mr. Meng shook his head, "I don't know either."

Mrs. Meng covered her heart and said with some discomfort: "I don't know why, but I always feel a little uneasy in my heart."

At this time, the two of them had been taken to the guest room, and the boy was about to close the door and go out.

When Mr. Meng heard Mrs. Meng's panic, he instantly regretted and was about to go out. But at that moment, the door of the guest room was slammed shut.

The Meng couple realized something was wrong and knocked hard on the door.

The boy outside said: "Mr. Meng, I'm sorry. My master said that Mr. Meng was mentally unstable and worried that you would take advantage of the chaos to leave the city and cause inconvenience, so he came up with this policy. Please forgive me, Mr. Meng."

In the back hall, Xue Jing was sipping a cup of tea in his hand, looking very calm and leisurely, but the tea in the cup was trembling slightly, revealing the fact that he was not as calm as he appeared.

The master walked in, bent down and said, "Sir, everything has been arranged. You will never get out."

"Yes." Xue Jing nodded, "Then give the order. No matter what the situation of the bandits is, they must be rescued."

Master nodded in agreement.

Not long after, a boy suddenly came to the city gate and walked straight up to a young guard. It was the handsome guard that Meng Heyin couldn't take his eyes off that day, named Ning Zai.

The boy said something to Ning Zai. Ning Zai's expression gradually became serious, and then he suddenly became cheerful and nodded firmly.

Near midnight, when people were preparing to cook, the city gates opened wide, and more than a thousand people left the city in a majestic manner.
