Chapter 9 Zhou Cheng Suppresses Bandits
"Grandpa Monster, please spare your life... The young ones are blind... Please let the young ones have a way out..." One of the three was the one who had previously reminded the leader of the thief. He trembled all over and knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing.
"Stop it...you listen to me. This official is Zhou Chu, the magistrate of Yuhan County. What kind of monster is not a monster?" Zhou Chu shouted seriously, and then he reported his identity.
The three remaining thieves breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, and then the older thieves hurriedly said, "It was the emperor of the county lord. The young people are really blind. If you die, you will die, you will die..."
The elderly thief shouted that he was dead, but he asked Zhou Cheng and Zhou Chu to look at him differently. Although this person shouted that he deserved to die, he also concluded in his heart that everyone was dead, but the three of them were not dead, which means that the lives of the three of them were saved.
"Tell me about your origin. What's your name by the way?" Zhou Chu took a few steps forward and asked the thief who had been talking, which was quite as powerful as a county magistrate.
"The youngest man in Huixian is named Zhang Danian. We are all from the Eagle Village ten miles away. Apart from us, there are more than twenty people in the village, but most of them are children and women and children." The thief named Zhang Danian said respectfully, and a few words also introduced a rough idea.
"Is there anyone in the village who is carrying a murder case?" Zhou Chu continued to ask.
"Yes...and two people have also killed people before." Zhang Dainian nodded quickly and said.
"Brother Cheng, please follow them and get rid of those two people. Zhang Danian, right? You brought the people in the mountain village to bury these bodies, and then sent these heads to the county. I want to hang these heads outside the county government to serve as a warning." Zhou Chu thought for a moment, and then ordered in an orderly manner.
When he first arrived at Yu Khan, the people here were already fierce and thieves and bandits were rampant. Using these heads to demonstrate could also be considered as a warning to Quan Yu Khan's local snake.
Zhou Cheng nodded silently when he heard this, and then led by Zhang Danian to Luoying Village.
In the evening of that day, Yuhan County was completely in full bloom.
A team of yamen runners were promoting, saying that the new county magistrate had taken office. On the first day of his tenure, that is, today, the county magistrate personally eliminated the Luoyingzhai bandits who were harming Yu Han. Now more than a dozen bandit heads have been hung on the flagpole outside Yu Han County.
The string of heads hangs down like a string of gourds, causing the outsiders of the county government to be full of people.
Above the county hall, Zhou Chu is in the main seat, and Zhou Cheng stands with his hands hanging down on one side.
The county magistrates, county magistrates, clerks and other inferior officials were separated on both sides.
In the main hall, there were no less than twenty people kneeling down at this moment. The leader was Zhang Danian, a thief from Luoyingzhai.
"I'm sure these people are not murdered? What's going on with those women?" Zhou Chu was quite powerful and looked like a county magistrate. He looked at Zhang Dainian and others and asked the county magistrate and county magistrate below.
"If you say that the county lord is going back to the county, most of these people are coerced by bandits, but they are not involved in murder cases. As for those women, most of them are pitiful people who block the road and robbed people and robbed people and saw that the woman was a bit beautiful and forced to rob the mountain." Yu Han County Magistrate replied respectfully, and there was almost no investigation, and he said it to him.
"Since that's the case, you can stay. The man raises donkeys to protect the hospital for me, and the woman washes and cooks. I will also pay you wages as usual." Zhou Chu thought for a moment and made the decision to keep these people.
Among these people, men have the experience of being a thief. Even if Zhou Chu lets them go, they will find it difficult to survive for a while, for fear that they will eventually embark on the road of evil. And those women are even homeless, and even get coldly watched by the world because of their experience. If they let them go, they will die.
It is a way to keep these people at the best of both worlds.
First, he solved the survival problems of these people, and second, he was a dignified county magistrate, and there were many things that needed to be handled by his servants. It is impossible to leave these trivial matters to Zhou Cheng to do now.
"Thank you, the county lord... Thank you, the county lord... The young men decided to go through fire and water for the county lord." The old and young men in the village kowtowed and thanked him. Such an ending was undoubtedly the best for them.
"Okay, okay...all down, you can do things well in the future. The county magistrate and the county magistrate stayed, and everyone else went down." Zhou Chuhui retreated everyone, leaving only the county magistrate and the county magistrate.
Originally, the county magistrate and the county magistrate were also Yu Khan's local tyrants. They had been in charge of Yu Khan for many years and were deeply rooted. However, after seeing this new county magistrate, the master and servant killed more than a dozen thieves. They knew that this county magistrate Zhou was not an easy person, and they were respectful on the surface.
"Your name is Wang An?" After everyone stepped back, Zhou Chu leaned forward slightly, staring at the county magistrate, and asked condescendingly.
"Return to the county lord, Wang An is the humble position." The county magistrate replied respectfully with his fists.
"How many people do you have?" Zhou Chu continued to ask.
The county magistrate is in charge of military affairs in a county and is responsible for public security and robbery. The yamen soldiers under him are generally assigned to the designated number.
"When Huixianjun, Yu Khan is in Xiaxian County. Now there are only 17 yamen runners." Wang County Magistrate reported with a serious look on his face.
"The number of people is a little smaller, but it doesn't matter... tomorrow you will summon all the people and follow Zhou Cheng's instructions. He will take you to wipe out all the villages in Yuhan County." Zhou Chu said calmly, as if he was saying a trivial matter.
"This... I'm taking the order." Wang County Wei was suspicious and even more unbelievable. Just by Zhou Cheng and less than twenty yamen runners, he could wipe out the rioters in Yuhan County?
Zhou Cheng just bowed slightly when he heard this. Now he has entered the Tao. In addition to the inner elixir, he can use the strong wind, and the Qingping Sword Pill to kill and kill. Even when facing thousands of troops, Zhou Cheng can handle it freely. No matter how many bandits and riots he has, it is not enough for Zhou Cheng to kill.
"Zhao County Magistrate." Zhou Chu called Zhao Qi again.
"I'm here." Zhao Qi bowed and replied. He was not young, nearly fifty years old, and he was also very prestigious in Yu Khan.
"I plan to lead the people to reclaim the land. Tomorrow you will prepare something. I am willing to follow me. After the new land is reclaimed, I will distribute the land according to the amount of effort." Zhou Chu said to the county chief Zhao in an orderly tone without any negotiation.
In this era, land is the foundation of all life. Yuhan County does not lack the foundation for reclaiming wasteland, and even as long as the people work together, they can rebuild a large amount of fertile land. However, the land of reclaiming is far away from the county town, and Yuhan bandits are rampant. Even if a large amount of land is reclaimed, it is not necessarily possible to obtain it if the food is planted.
What Zhou Chu has to do now is to let Zhou Cheng eliminate bandits and bandits while leading the people to reclaim wasteland.
In this way, Yuhan County will be able to have a bumper grain in just one to two years, and the increase in grain production will naturally make people rich. At that time, public security will be good and the grain will be harvested, and Yuhan County will be able to change the world.
Early the next morning, the yamen runners of Yuhan County, led by the county magistrate Wang An, followed Zhou Cheng out of Yuhan County.
In this world, even if there was no horse to drive in Yuhan County, Zhou Cheng still rode his black donkey, followed more than a dozen yamen runners, heading towards a place called Heihu Mountain.
Heihu Mountain is the most dangerous place in Yu Khan's territory. There is a Heihu Village in the mountains, which gathered more than a hundred bandits of all sizes. These people usually rob families and even occasionally raise troops to rob the county town.
"You said this is the most powerful person in the county?" On a hundred-foot mountain peak on the east side of Heihu Mountain, Zhou Cheng stood in the wind on a protruding huge rock. Behind him was the county magistrate Wang An in leather armor.
"The village has a population of hundreds, and there are no less than a hundred strong bandits. Please see, there are guards holding bows and arrows on the corner tower of the village gate. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. I am afraid... "We are the ones Wang pointed to the Heihu Village and said with a fearful look. In his opinion, the attack on Heihu Village is no different from the death.
"It's okay... I can destroy the cliché just waved, you can take someone to finish it." Zhou Cheng said expressionlessly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang County Magistrate was surprised to see a green sword pill flying out of Zhou Cheng's mouth, and then the sword pill flashed and disappeared.
After a moment, the bandits who were originally guarding the Black Tiger Village fell silently, and blood splashed out from their eyebrows.
A blue sword light wandered quietly in the Black Tiger Village. Wherever they passed, all the bandits holding weapons and ferocious faces were shot through the eyebrows and cut off their vitality.
But in a few breaths, the Black Tiger Village, which was originally crowded with people, suddenly became silent and strange, and the huge horror that followed enveloped the mountain village...
The villagers who were not killed by Jianwan suddenly felt like a sharp sword was hanging high above their heads. These people subconsciously raised their heads and looked at the sky.
At this moment, a blue sword shadow that emitted a sword light and was three feet long slashed from the sky towards the village gate...
The sword shadow slashed down, and the village gate turned into ashes in a blink of an eye.
