Chapter 284

The biggest hidden danger in Qiongguan County is the monsters and barbarians, but the biggest contradiction on the surface is the army and the local area. Xuanyuan World has always been a noble civil servant, and military personnel have no status in the court, but they are different on the border.

In the border areas, wars are frequent, and the court's ban on military generals' private transfer of troops cannot be so strict. Especially in recent years, the world's vitality has become increasingly exhausted, the demons and barbarians have stepped up their plunder on the border, and there are sudden small conflicts almost every other time.

This situation is impossible to report to the court before handling it, so it gives the border army the power to act cheaply. Among the four border troops, the Eastern Army, which is facing the frontal demon clan's soldiers, and the Western Army, which faces various chaos in the northwest, is the strongest.

Xifeng Pass is an important town under the jurisdiction of the Western Army. It is located in the northwest of Jianmen Province. When Xifeng Pass comes, it belongs to the outer territory. It is the territory of the monster and barbarian tribes. Xifeng Pass controls foreign tribes outside, releases bandits inside, has many soldiers and wide generals, and has great power.

Under such circumstances, these arrogant soldiers and generals inevitably had conflicts with the local government. Ye Xingyuan read the detailed reports of Di Bao and Jinyiwei, and knew that in the past year, there were hundreds of military-civilian conflicts in Qiongguan County.

The former Magistrate Wang was powerless and dared not care about it. The only one who suffered the loss was the local people. The existence of Xifeng Pass was a provocation to the authority of local officials and would also be the first challenge Ye Xingyuan faced.

Ye Xingyuan didn't take it seriously, so he said lightly: "I am very interested in visiting local scenery when I first arrived here. If Captain Li refuses to give up, please sit down and have a drink together."

Captain Li widened his eyes and stared at Ye Xingyuan for a while. Then he bowed his hand and said carelessly: "Is he really the top scholar? The lower official Li Xing, please see the county magistrate."

His tone was frivolous and not much etiquette. Ye Xingyuan knew that the relationship between the county government and the Xifengguan military was like this. When he went to send military documents, the other captain received by the other party was also unpolite and did not take him seriously, the top scholar county magistrate.

The Qin County Magistrate couldn't bear it and said angrily: "Prince Li, the county magistrate, I don't care about you, so don't be too arrogant."

Li Xiaowei said indifferently: "What? Here is a top scholar, Qin County Magistrate, your back is hard? When Lao Wang was there, you didn't dare to say that to me. But don't think that there is a top scholar who is relying on it. This is Qiongguan County, a remote place in the countryside, not in the Golden Palace of Jingzhao Prefecture!"

His words were very direct, saying that even if you are the top scorer, you are not worth a lot here.

The Qin County Magistrate looked blue and wanted to rush forward to tear it. Fang Dianshi tightly pulled it and tried to persuade him: "Forget it, they are all officials, what's the point of quarrel?"

Ye Xingyuan knew that Qin County Magistrate's current performance was somewhat of a performance, but the arrogance of the Xifengguan military can also be seen with the contradiction between the two sides. His mentality was very positive. In the eyes of the people, the top scholar was the most outstanding figure of Wenquxing, who came to earth.

But in fact, whether in the court or here, he was just a small person who had just started. Therefore, he didn't care about Li's blunt provocation, but just sighed that the magistrate of Qiongguan was difficult to be. The former magistrate Wang had been here for nine years, and I don't know how much anger he suffered, so no wonder he almost ran away in panic.

Seeing that Ye Xingyuan didn't speak, Li Zhengwei was even more arrogant and smiled and said, "County Master, Qiongguan County is the rear of our Xifeng Pass. As long as you prepare enough money and food, your brothers will not come to cause trouble. Before, Magistrate Wang was so exquisite. County Master was the top scholar among scholars, and of course he would not be ignorant of doing it.

In two months, autumn will begin. The grass grows and the eagles fly, and the demons and barbarians can hunt, which is about the Mid-Autumn Festival. If the county is not respectful enough, our soldiers are not strong enough and missed the one or two demons and barbarians. You know what the consequences are!"

It was just a provocation, but now it turned into a complete threat. Both Qin County Chief and Fang Dianshi's expressions changed drastically, but they did not expect that Li Xing, a rough man, would actually tear his face apart.

This is actually an unwritten unwritten rule, everyone in Qiongguan County knows it. Every year, the demon barbarian hunts in autumn and goes to the south to hunt grass valley, and Xifeng Pass is the first to be hit. If the soldiers work together and the three armies use their lives to block them outside the pass, the demon barbarian will naturally be divided into two parts and go east and west respectively.

But as long as Xifeng Pass is a little lazy and letting hundreds of monsters rush in, it will be a catastrophe for Qiongguan County.

The officialdom of Qiongguan County was afraid that the Xifengguan army would not work hard, so he endured it again and again. But everyone knew this kind of thing in their hearts, how could they be kept on their lips? Especially when Ye Xingyuan, the top scholar, came here on the first day, Li Zheng was so blunt. Could it be that someone was urging him?

Ye Xingyuan also realized that he was not good. At first, he thought that Captain Li had met by chance, and such a rough military man did not have to be angry about it. But now it seems that he came intentionally, just to convey the meaning of Xifeng Pass to himself.

What is this? He exerted his power? Ye Xingyuan sneered in his heart. Today, when he arrived at the county government office, the Qin County Magistrate and Fang Dianshi flattered and received him warmly, so he did not have the new official to take office. Unexpectedly, the man from Xifeng Pass hit the gun and came up.

He pretended to be ignorant and asked indifferently: "I am not very clear about the meaning of Li Zhengwei. What do you mean is that when Xifeng Pass blocks the demon barbarians, will you deliberately let it go? This is a crime of unforgivable treason!"

Captain Li laughed and said, "It's indeed a young man. I didn't say that we deliberately let the demon barbarian go, but we didn't catch the strength, and there are always fish that miss the net. What if it does?"

Ye Xingyuan said in surprise: "Xifeng Pass is a powerful pass. It is the northwest barrier of our dynasty. When the demon barbarians come, they just need to close the official gate. What are the abilities of these demon barbarians to pass through the city walls dozens of feet high?"

Captain Li frowned and said, "You nerd, you can't make sense. The monsters and barbarians have their own supernatural powers and magical powers. Maybe they come to the ground? Anyway, you don't have to worry about these things. Just know that if Qiongguan County is disobedient, then wait to welcome the demon barbarian's soldiers!"

When a scholar met a soldier, he couldn't explain it clearly. Captain Li felt that he was a soldier who met a scholar and was too lazy to talk to him, so he just threatened him fiercely.

Ye Xingyuan nodded slightly and said, "So that's it, I understand."

Captain Li sneered and said, "It's good if you understand. You can't owe you the money and grain that Magistrate Wang had promised before. You can send it to Guanzhong early to ensure safety."

The Qin County Magistrate and Fang Dianshi wanted to speak, but they stopped. Qiongguan County had always been short of money and grain for the imperial court every spring and autumn, and was exploited by Xifengguan, and the granary warehouse had been empty for a long time. Originally, he thought that Ye Xingyuan, the top scholar, came here, and the soldiers of Xifengguan had to give some face. They were relieved for a few months, but they did not expect to come to ask for it that day.

But it was a helpless thing. The Qin County Magistrate was worried, afraid that Ye Xingyuan would turn against him on the spot, which was really out of control.

Ye Xingyuan was patient and asked again: "Qiongguan County is not a subordinate of Xifengguan. Money and grain should be transported to the provincial capital and then allocated. Unless it is an emergency military situation, Xifengguan can be collected on the spot. Captain Li asked me for grain, but I wonder if there is a command to supervise the army?"

It is a big deal to collect money and food on the spot. Even during wartime, the three-sided governors must give orders before they can act. Captain Li did not have such things, and he said impatiently: "Talk about what? I don't have a warrant, so what are you going to do?"

Ye Xingyuan sighed and said, "If there is no war, it means disturbing the people. If there is no war, you may have to convict the crime of rebellion!"

Captain Li sneered: "Who dares to blame me?"

The Qin County Magistrate became more and more irritated when he heard the two of them talking. He wanted to persuade Ye Xingyuan, but he didn't know how to start. He just saw Ye Xingyuan gently slapped his hand and smiled and said, "I didn't expect that when I came today, I would meet such a crazy thief!"

He pointed at Captain Li and shouted: "You threaten the local area and ask for money and food. I suspect that you are colluding with the demon barbarians and plotting to treason. You should capture them and hand them over to the governor of the three sides for interrogation. The Yellow Turban Strongman will capture this beast with me!"

Ye Xingyuan was ready and took a step back. A tall giant man with bare flesh appeared above his head. He reached out and grabbed it, and pinched Captain Li's throat like a chicken and lifted it up gently.

Although Ye Xingyuan's Jinshi's magical power was not very good, he had abundant spiritual power. At that time, he could easily defeat Chen Jian when he first obtained magical power. After a few trials, he was even more skillful. Although Li Zhengwei was brave, he was caught off guard and he was indeed defeated.

The strong man took off the yellow scarf on his forehead, tied the Li Zhengwei, threw it away, and threw it in front of Ye Xingyuan. Although the Qin County Magistrate was very happy, he was also frightened and hurriedly advised Ye Xingyuan to say, "County Master, although this person is rude, he is a close confidant of General Qian of Xifeng Pass. If he offended him fiercely, he is afraid that there will be any future troubles..."

Captain Li rolled in the mud and cursed: "Children Huangkou, how dare you attack your grandfather! I feel like letting go of me, we will fight for 300 rounds! General Qian will not let you go!"

Ye Xingyuan said carelessly: "General Qian is an important official in the border area. He is loyal to the country, so how could he act ignorant? He has many soldiers under him, and some evil people have mixed in, and there are also some who are not careful for a while.

Since this official has met him, of course he cannot let him go easily, and it doesn’t cost him any trouble. So he escorted him to the three-sided governor’s office, and the military judge will deal with it."

The three-sided Governor's yamen is still in a neighboring province west of Jianmen, and the General of Xifeng Pass cannot control it. If Ye Xingyuan really sent Captain Li, the judge of the military would not recognize the popular man under the general. Even if he only charged him with disturbing the place, he would have to be at least dozens of military sticks.

What's more, Ye Xingyuan was afraid that the hat would not be banned enough, and even the charge of "collusion with demons and barbarians, treason and rebellion" was suppressed. Even if the General of Xifeng Pass wanted to catch people, he would probably have to work hard.

Only then did Captain Li realize his fear. He looked harsh and said, "I have killed the enemy and served the country, shed blood for the country, and made contributions to the court! You are a hairless boy, how dare you frame me with a red mouth and white teeth!"
