Chapter 110 Sending Them a Chance
Chapter 110 Sending Them a Chance
Dong Ling has never been so leisurely.
I don’t have to do anything every day, just herding cattle and cooking.
There are almost no people coming to this mountain, it is very quiet.
He likes this kind of life very much, but he also knows that now is not the time to relax.
In addition to herding cattle, he has a more important mission, which is to form a team and give them the most rigorous training so that there will be people available when the young master and his wife want to rebel in the future.
Instead of temporarily finding a group of desperate villagers to fight against the regular army of the court.
But God is my witness, he has been waiting here for so long, but he has not seen any villagers turn to banditry. It seems that the story of bandits in Guitou Mountain is just a rumor.
If this continues, he might not be able to complete his mission.
As it was getting dark, he drove the ten cows into a valley.
There is a shallow cave here. If you install a fence outside, it will be a good cattle pen.
He did not return to Guitou Mountain at night, but spent the night in a small shed in the valley.
After locking up the cows, he built a small fire and began to prepare dinner, but just then he heard the sound of someone talking.
He immediately put out the fire and followed the sound, where he saw a dozen people climbing up Guitou Mountain and entering the cave.
This made him secretly excited. The bandits he had waited for for so long finally arrived?
So he went up the mountain briskly, but for the sake of safety, he did not show up immediately. Instead, he stood at the entrance of the cave to listen to what the people inside said to find out whether they were planning to become bandits.
Hearing this, he frowned.
Because these guys were not villagers who couldn't survive, but were sent by the county magistrate. The leader was the county magistrate's brother-in-law, and most of the rest came from the capital!
They should all be quite skilled and carry steel knives.
They don't really want to be bandits, but they want to pretend to be bandits to rob money!
"Make a fire, sir, and fill our stomachs with food," Magistrate Shen's brother-in-law, Hu Mingzhang, instructed the others, "This broken place is not suitable for human beings, let's cut the Gordian knot, take a good rest tonight and tomorrow, and go to Liuyun Village to do something at midnight tomorrow, and then we can go to the town and kill those gentry in a few days. Get my brother-in-law and Mr. Liu's affairs settled as soon as possible, so that we can go back and hug the girl earlier!"
His words were immediately recognized by others, who immediately took out the prepared dry food, made a fire and started cooking.
Dong Ling retreated down the cliff quietly.
It is outrageous that a county magistrate actually asked people to pretend to be bandits and rob the common people of their money and food.
The most unforgivable thing is that these guys actually want to go to Liuyun Village first. It goes without saying that their target is the lady's home.
If you're not on guard, these guys might really cause some trouble.
……
"You said, someone is going to rob us tomorrow night?" After listening to Dong Ling's report, Jiang Si Ning asked, "How many people?"
"There are eleven of them in total," Dong Ling said, "most of them are well-trained guards, and the leader is the brother-in-law of the Gaochuan County Magistrate."
Jiang Sining frowned slightly. The county magistrate's methods were much more radical than she had imagined.
But this is a good thing, because she was worried that she couldn't find an opportunity to take action against the county magistrate.
"I know, you go back first."
"Madam," Dong Ling asked, "Do you want me to kill them all tonight after they go to bed?"
"No, I'll keep these people for use, just keep an eye on them."
Jiang Sining thought about it, exchanged a door for Dong Ling in the space, and taught him how to use it.
"If you have anything to say in the future, just use the space to communicate. You don't need to run around anymore." Jiang Sining said, "Also, you don't need to cook. I'll put something in there for you every day, and you can eat it yourself."
"Thank you, madam!"
It would be a lie for Dong Ling to say he wasn't excited; he just didn't show it on his face.
This is magic!
Now he can also use this magic like Brother Qingyu and the others!
After Dong Ling left, Si Chenan said, "I'm sorry, my lady."
"What are you sorry for?"
"Most of these people came here because of me," Si Chenan said, "Involving my wife is just causing trouble for her."
"It's a little troublesome, but it's not a problem." Jiang Sining said, "But if you let me command the four secret guards to help me, then we'll be even."
"So how does the lady want to deal with this?"
Jiang Sining thought for a moment and said, "This time Cao Cunzheng and those yamen runners will have an advantage. Let's give them a chance."
……
The next day, the two yamen runners from yesterday continued to come to the village to collect grain.
There were only a few shops left yesterday, so we planned to finish the job in half a day at most.
But under Jiang Sining's secret instructions, the people from these families were slow to produce food today and could not get it for a long time. As a result, these few families dragged it out until the afternoon.
The last family is Jiang Sining’s.
When Jiang Sining divided the family property, he did not ask for any land, and the land in the mountains had just been opened up, so logically, he did not need to pay grain this season.
But Cao Yin would not miss this opportunity, and he brought two yamen runners to Jiang Sining's house.
"You make wine at home, so you have to pay taxes, of course."
"Of course," Jiang Sining said, "but you two officials have been busy all day, there is no need to rush. Why don't you sit down and rest for a while. I will make some side dishes and bring some wine brewed by our family for you two officials to taste."
I don’t know what happened. This was supposed to be an easy job, but today I feel more tired than yesterday.
When they heard that Jiang Sining was going to cook for them and give them wine, how could they not be happy?
Jiang Sining also invited Cao Yin, and asked Si Chenan to come out and accompany them. She went to the kitchen herself and soon made several delicious dishes.
The fragrant dishes were served on the table, and the best wine was brought out, making the yamen runners and Cao Yin swallow their saliva.
Si Chenan kept urging them to drink, and although the wine tasted good but was strong, it didn't take long for the three of them to get a little tipsy.
It was already dark by this time, so Si Chenan took the opportunity to let the three of them stay in the guest room.
"Madam," Si Chenan said as he watched the three people fall asleep, "You didn't drink too much, did you?"
"It's just right that there's more. Alcohol makes cowards brave." Jiang Sining said, "When the bandits come later, if they are sober, they may not dare to attack."
……
At midnight, Liuyun Village was dead silent.
After Hu Mingzhang and his group rested up, they arrived at Liuyun Village as planned.
Jiang Sining's home is on a mountain in the village, a little far from other houses, so he did not attract anyone's attention along the way.
In the darkness, they covered their faces with black cloth and, under the leadership of Hu Mingzhang, quietly moved towards Jiang Sining's home.
But what they didn't notice was that the person walking at the end had his mouth covered by Si Chen'an who suddenly appeared from the darkness from behind.
Jiang Sining took out a few silver needles and inserted them into his body accurately.
The man in black fell unconscious without any struggle.
The two men put the unconscious man in black on the ground and followed him quietly.
