Chapter 357 Who dares to take the sword and get out of the way?

Shi Chuan's muscles twitched, curled his lips slightly, and replied without a smile: "Mr. County Master, a crane buckle is just a trivial matter. I just heard from Master Zhizhou that Liangshan gangsters came to Shuyang, and it is said that the momentum is very loud..."

When Qu Magistrate Qu cut off his clothes, he asked again: "Chengxinlang, how much is your crane cloak worth?"

Why did this person get entangled in the subtitles... At this point, he finally understood the reason why Qu Magistrate failed the exam repeatedly. He also realized the crux of why people hate sour Confucianism - these corrupt scholars always focus on insignificant details, such as talking about the several ways of writing the word "未" and talking about what the meaning of a sentence in the Analects. He persisted in annotating for thousands of years, but resolutely refused to understand the key matters and key points in real life.

"If the county magistrate wants to buy it, then... Chenghui thirty cents." Shi Chuan helplessly gave up his efforts to communicate with Qu County Magistrate Qu.

At this moment, it was County Magistrate Qu’s turn to twitch the muscles on his face: “Thirty stakes, I can’t afford my half-year salary. I still intend to buy a few pieces for the girls and ladies at home to decorate them. It seems that I can’t afford it.”

County Magistrate Meng secretly curled his lips: "Pretend, Old Man Qu, just pretend. Although the magistrate Guo has fewer things and more troubles, it is only a case of Fang Junwei. You can only get more than 300 guan in your hand, maybe 3,000 guan... Hey, Liangshan gangsters invaded, Oh my God, this is a big deal... Oh, I am about to retire, and the magistrate doesn't care. What should I care about? Who do I like to send to fight and send to whom, I will continue to drink my little wine."

Qu County Magistrate Qu is rich, but the income from the bandit suppression is gray income. Even if Qu County Magistrate is a sour scholar, he knows that if he dares to get this income openly and buy this luxury goods... The Tongzong in Guihuayuan is not a vegetarian. As a magistrate Guo, he is a person who takes the blame. If he dares to hand over his braid, isn't he a birthday boy eating arsenic and seeking death by himself?

At the same time, at the banquet, Luo Wangjing heard the magistrate sigh that he could not afford the crane flask. He secretly tightened the crane flask, his heart full of pride.

Shi Chuan also knew the magistrate's family well. The magistrate took the opportunity to sigh, Shi Chuan just smiled and said nothing - do you think this is a great and glorious era? If you say a few words of envy of something, I will give me a bribe? This is the official language of the Song Dynasty and Song Dynasty, which dare not ask for bribes.

Sure enough, the magistrate sighed for a while, and he didn't respond when he saw it. He put the topic over and raised his glass to invite everyone to say, "Did your relatives have any leisure on Shangsi Festival? My daughter plans to..."

Shi Shi said: "The Liangshan gangsters are circulating in Shandong and are invincible. Since they have come to Shuyang, how can they underestimate them? I plan to send my marriage to the third day of March. At the same time, Cuizhuang must be fully alert."

Qu Magistrate Qu once again focused on the key points: "What, on the Shangsi Festival, is the rose dock not open?"

At this time, a song ji presented a flower card, invited him to sing, and asked Yan Shu to sing a song. When the singer left with the flower card, Shiteng pulled the sleeves of the county magistrate and pulled him to approach Qu County, whispered: "Just just now, news came from Shuyang County that after the Liangshan gangsters entered the country, they broke several villages and were moving towards Haizhou."

Qu County Magistrate rolled his eyes: "The magistrate is here, now the yamen is sealed. I, a small magistrate, have heard from the magistrate."

Shi Chuan smiled and whispered: "The bandits are here, and the magistrate can hide in the yamen in the city, but the county government is outside the city, without any barriers, and the gangs cannot attack the city. It is easy to break the few villages outside the city."

Qu County Magistrate Qu realized the seriousness of the matter and was under the jurisdiction of the county. Even if the bandits did not attack the county government and broke the villages outside the city, that was the responsibility of the county. He immediately sweated coldly and asked in panic: "Why is this good... Ah, it seems that it is Shangsi Festival, why would I take my daughter from my family to the city for a few days and let them enjoy the scene of the daughter's festival in the city?"

Shi Chuan bowed and reminded again: "When Lord Zhang Shuye was in power, Haizhou's regiment training was well done. In the past few years, the wing army in Haizhou also expanded a lot. Moreover, when the bandits rebelled, Zhang Zhizhou appointed more than 300 generals in one go, so - Haizhou County is not weak."

The Meng County Wei's home has moved to Cuizhuang. Now that Cuizhuang's workshops are getting bigger and bigger, there are more and more migrant workers moving in, and gradually it is becoming a small town. Cuizhuang's group training is the best in Haizhou. The Meng County Wei knows it well: there are no less than 200 group trainings in the entire village, and as for those who are not registered... as long as you shout at each other, it is probably no problem to gather thousands of people.

The safety of the family was guaranteed, and County Magistrate Meng seemed calm and asked: "What is the coach's intention? What is the plan to deal with?"

The official title of the coach reminded the magistrate Qu. He hurriedly said, "The county's seal is not there, I will write you a note. You can gather the five township groups to gather together. Well, some people will be transferred to the vicinity of the county government, and the others will be closed to protect themselves. When the Shangsi Festival is over, the yamen will open the seal on the fifth day of the third month. I will stamp you with the seal."

The Meng County Magistrate quickly reminded him again: "The four territory of Haizhou, the regiment training in Cuizhuang is the most powerful, but the soldiers are gathered first, and the division of troops will make the strength weak."

Qu Magistrate Qu thought about it and followed the words of County Magistrate Meng, "If the county government transfers twenty Leihuo soldiers, you must also send twenty people to protect you at the foot of Baihu Mountain, then Cuizhuang..."

It seems that Qu Magistrate Qu is quite kind. While he is optimistic about his official office and his own residence, he can also think about letting Shi Chuan take care of his own safety at the same time... Shi Chuan is not polite, so he bowed and took the opportunity to say: "There were originally two hundred flower-bosses on Jinxiu Street. They were stationed in Jinxiu Street to maintain public order. They have also conducted some training on them. It is better to transfer 100 flower-bosses to the county government."

County Magistrate Qu coughed for a while and asked in surprise: "Can the group of flower brats on Jinxiu Street also received thunder and fire training?"

Shi Chuan smiled: "It takes at least two or three years for the imperial court to train a crossbowman, but two or three months is enough to train a thunder and fire soldiers. However, this thunder and fire soldiers are very expensive to train, and a training session costs at least a hundred taels. Most people may not be able to support them."

Qu Magistrate Qu followed the topic of Shi Chuan: "The court has no special regulations on what weapons should the regiment trainer use... I often hear people say that the thunder and fire soldiers are fierce, but I have never seen them... Oh, this is right. During festivals, I also saw firecrackers explode. The thing is indeed amazing, but I don't know if it can be used to expel the thieves.

Forget it, if you have financial resources, I will allow you to double the Thunder Fire Soldier... Let's not talk about anything else today. The scenery here is very good. It's a pity to close the yard on March 3rd. I intend to take my family to stay for a few days and enjoy the scenery of the yard. Since you are going to see the marriage, there are only women left in the yard, that's even more perfect. Changqing, I'll ask my wife to tomorrow... No, I'll send a letter immediately and ask her to visit your wife today."

Qu Magistrate Qu said that he would take his family to the courtyard for a spring outing, and was reminded by the words of the County Magistrate Meng. Now that the yamen are sealed, let alone mobilizing the army, even if he wants to respond to an emergency, he can't do it at all. Haizhou City has only force but cannot use it. The Cuizhuang, which is worn at times, looks strong, and there is no need for the local mobilization here. Sometimes, he will wear this extremely fierce man, and he will not wait for the official documents. Therefore, it is safer to stay in such a solid village during the turmoil.

Of course, the reminder of County Magistrate Meng actually implies this meaning. When the magistrate started, the officials present spoke one after another and expressed the same meaning, but their excuse was: at this turmoil, they wanted to bring their families together to see the scenery.

Among the people who spoke, there was no such thing as Lo Wangjing. Lo Wangjing wanted to say a few words, but then he thought that Baihu Mountain was the location of the Shi Family Temple. Shi Chuan treated no one badly, so he didn't have to worry about his brothers living there. As for the mother in the city... with his mother's temper, he knew that Chu Suzhen also lived in Rosewood and waited for her to move to Cuizhuang, and maybe he would leave something that would make people wipe his butt, so he thought about it and didn't take this sailboat.

The officials were all thinking about their homes and no longer interested in having a banquet. Qu County said goodbye first. Then, officials in the prefecture also resigned one after another. However, Song Zhao and Song magistrates were arranged in Baihu Mountain, and they seemed very calm. After everyone said goodbye, the banquet was gone, and the magistrate returned to the city slowly. Before leaving, of course, they called Baihu Mountain to train guards.

That night, Cuizhuang was alert, and the troupe trainers began to distribute weapons such as swords, bows and guns, and organized patrol personnel. Because Shi Chuan was also very well formulated in the Song Dynasty, many practices, emergency plans, etc., the whole process was so tense and orderly that Shi Yanei, who entered the village overnight, did not feel strange. After entering the village happily, he went to Shi Chuan's original house to look for it. After finding nothing, he wandered to the threshing ground. Shi Yanei was an acquaintance and the main supplier of Cuizhuang workshops. He often provided free meat to Cuizhuang, so no one stopped him wherever Yanei went, and of course, no one told him the reason for the chaotic situation in the village.

When the bored Yanei moved to the training headquarters, he happened to see a team of training teams leaving. He opened his mouth and complained: "Dalang, what's going on? I've been here for so long and there is not even a person to greet you. Is there anyone who treats guests like this?"

Shi Chuan was surprised to see Shi Yanei appear, and he asked, "At this time...how many people did you bring to guard?...what, there are only 20 or 30 people, you are so brave."

Yanei was filled with an ignorant fearless expression: "I met your apprentice Ling Fei on the dock and had already given him the token. What happened? Cui Zhuang was busy with something."

"The heroes of Liangshan are here. It is said that they have broken down many villages and towns in Shuyang. The victims will arrive at the latest tomorrow. However, the heroes of Liangshan move too fast and cannot guess their actions. Tonight, the four realms will be in chaos. I am worried that there will be many scoundrels who use the banner of Liangshan to cause trouble everywhere. You should just place your manpower in my fort and wait for the limelight to come and go on the road."

Shi Yanei laughed: "What a big deal? Aren't the gangsters still in Shuyang? They can't come to Haizhou in five or six days. If someone blocks them along the way, maybe they won't see Haizhou City in a month."

Shi Chuan thought about it, turned his hands on his back for a few times, and said, "Block, by the way, I'll go block, wait for me to set off, you can rush to Donghai County, prepare the gunship, and wait for my order... Hey, it's Daughter's Day soon. I heard that your mother and son are pregnant and are about to give birth. When you come to Cuizhuang at this time, I'm afraid Miss Suzhen will not want to see you."

Shi Yanei grinned and retorted: "Look at what you said, am I that kind of person? Miss Suzhen is a relationship I had in the past, but that's over. Now I'm getting older and it's time to know the Gu family. I came to the countryside to find you. The guys we used to get together have their own families. I am alone on the island and have a taste of celebrating every festival, so I came to see you..."

After saying this, Shi Yanei took a step forward and whispered: "What I just said was the language on the surface..."

Shi Chuan had a smile on the corner of his mouth. He wanted to say a few more advice about Chu Suzhen, but Shi Yanei was also very frank. He turned his hand and took out a purple stone from his sleeve, and said with a smile: "I really have something to ask Miss Suzhen for the most important thing. I heard that Suzhen was planning to reopen the jewelry workshop... Well, I remember that the little stone in Donghai County once sold you a lot of gems. I guess you have a little appreciation for gems. Look at what this is?"

Shi Chuan's eyes fell on Shi Yanei's hand and blurted out: "East Sea Amethyst."

Shi Yanei nodded solemnly: "The craftsman from our glass workshop took his family out on a trip by chance. He found such clear and transparent stones in the mountains on the island. Originally, he might have discarded them as an inconspicuous toy, but suddenly he thought of the stained glass made in the workshop and felt that this thing was very similar to the one produced in the workshop... Look, is this thing glass or something else?"

Shi Chuan held it in his hand, rather than observing the stone in his hand, it is better to use his brain to find relevant information: "Glass is never natural, there is no natural glass in the world, so this is not glass, it is a gem that is more expensive than glass. Have you heard of crystals? This is crystal."

Yanei was trembling, and he lowered his voice, his voice hoarse: "No, I have sent someone to that mountain and checked the mine veins. God, that's simply a mountain of glass, and there are all such stones in the mountains..."

Shi Chuan nodded: "We're rich."

Yanei thought about it and asked again: "Can you say this matter be hidden?"

Shi Chuan thought about it and replied: "I can't hide it. Once mined, don't even think about hiding it - so I advise you to go to Donghai County first, buy a few nearby mountains, and then don't rush to mine. When the power is gradually built, you have the ability to protect the ore veins, it's not too late to do it."

Yanei focused his attention: "Such pure crystal is as transparent as glass. Although I have heard the name crystal in the past, I can't believe it. God, I actually moved a crystal mountain in front of us."

Shi Chuan reached out and patted Yanei on the shoulder: "Keep calm, with this wealth, we can do something bigger."

Yanei dragged his footsteps like sleepwalking. At this time, an Indian servant stepped forward and led Shi Yanei to the original Shi's house. Shi Chuan originally wanted to go back with Shi Yanei, but in a blink of an eye, he found that the butler Mushun appeared in the corner. Shi Chuan stopped and reached out to greet Mushun.

Fortunately, Shi Yanei was immersed in the excitement of Crystal Mountain and did not pay attention to Shi Tong. Seeing this situation, Mu Shun quickly walked up to report: "Master, Ling Fei sent urgent documents."

Shi Chuan turned around in the same place and sighed, "There are not enough people. There are too few people who can stand alone. At the foot of Baihu Mountain, there are Jinxiu Street, and Shuyang County, the stalls are too big. If there is anything wrong, there is not even a person available."

Mu Shun bowed and reminded: "The owner, Ling Fei said: There were exactly one hundred people in Yier camp who rushed back to celebrate Shangsi Festival. He first sent these people to the village secretly and continued to rush to Donghai County. The owner, with these one hundred people and Zhuang Ding, we can gather 200 Leihuo soldiers to come, and there are enough people who will send their marriage."

Shi Chuan thought about it and ordered: "Then distribute weapons to them. This is a big disaster. I hope we can handle it."

The so-called Yier Camp is the orphans who adopted during the last rebellion of the bandits. These orphans were all fifteen or sixteen years old. After three years of Shipeng, they provided diet according to nutritional ratios and conducted arduous physical training according to the modern soldier training model. Now this armed force can be regarded as the most loyal, because they are all wandering children adopted by Shipeng, so they are called "Yier".

Yierying's usual reading, literacy and physical exercise were carried out in Cuizhuang. Because of its cooperative relationship with Shi Yanei, Yierying was divided into two companies and took turns to guard the glass workshop in Donghai County. The days when guarding the glass workshop in Donghai County were actually the days when the children conducted musket training and queue training. This armed force also became the last trump card for Shiying, but the sudden appearance of the hero of Liangshan forced him to show his full strength in advance.

In the era of cold weapons, the role of cavalry was like modern tanks. No one doubted the destructive power of Song Jiang and thirty-six people. These thirty-six "tanks" traverse the east and west roads of Beijing for many years. The government sent out the government to teach bandits to be defeated repeatedly, and even some bandit suppression officers turned to Liangshan bandits. Now this group of people broke into Haizhou and conquered three villages in a row. Shuyang County had to close the city and defend themselves... Under such a crisis, can a group of eighteen or nineteen-year-old children cope with this crisis?

Shi Chuan thought about it - to be honest, he has read many novels. If he compares the description of cold weapons combat in the novels, the degree of unreliability in the novels is probably very high. Faced with such a Liangshan hero who has been wandering around for many years and has rich combat experience, he always feels that even if he suppresses all his strength, he will be at a loss.

"I decided to let Yier Camp be equipped with muskets, and then transfer sixty groups of trainees. I will take them to Shuyang City for a while and block the group of people a little first. If it really doesn't work, then keep yourself in the door and try to protect yourself."

Mu Shun thought about it, and he originally wanted to persuade him, saying that a gentleman would not set up a dangerous wall, etc. But the magistrate of Shuyang was Huang E's father. If Huang's father made a mistake in dealing with this war, he would have to implicate his wife Huang E. In addition, Shuyang also has five thousand acres of land at Shi's family, and Liu Bancheng's second son Liu Kuang, who was in charge of the situation, and could not sit idly by and watch them fall into danger due to emotion and reason, so Mu Shun endured it and bowed and said, "The master is careful."

"Don't worry, thirty-six...oh, thirty-seven bandits won't trap me. Even if I really reach that point, I can still protect the wedding team and break through."

Mu Shun sighed: "I originally wanted to persuade the boss to wait until after the Daughter's Day, when the yamen opened seals, Haizhou could mobilize people. In addition, if there is the invasion of the Liangshan River gangs, it is reasonable for us to send the marriage to delay... But since the boss has made a decision, the old man will no longer persuade him, and he hopes that the boss will be careful all the way."

Shi Chuan returned home just in time. When Chuan rushed to report to officials at both the prefecture and county levels, Huang E thought about it and felt that something was wrong. She gradually became scared. Although the thirty-six people did not have the ability to conquer the county town, they robbed everywhere. If the disaster in the countryside was too serious, their father would inevitably be questioned.

The more Huang E thought about it, the more she felt uneasy, so she quickly notified her stepmother about the matter. When Wang got the news, she immediately exploded and yelled to see Da Yin in person and ask Da Yin to send rescue soldiers early. Huang E could not block it on the left and right, and at this moment, Shi Chuan came back.

Huang E was the first to hear a faint low greeting from the gate of the courtyard. This was a language of a black servant. Huang E had the consciousness of being the mistress of the house. Some time ago, she learned a few simple words of a black servant when she was pestering her. Those words were just simple commands to command the black servants. At this time, the black servants outside the door had finished greetings and were still talking about something. Huang E couldn't fully understand the specific content. There was a word she understood - gun.

This foreign word actually refers to muskets. Huang E couldn't sit still. She quickly said to her stepmother: "Wang, be quiet, Dalang is back, if you have something to say to him."

The title of "Wang" is the least to be heard by the stepmother. In fact, when Wang married into the Huang family, Huang E's mother Lin did not die. Therefore, in Huang E's eyes, the other party was just a concubine, but she was just a straightening after her mother died, so she only called her stepmother "Wang".

In the past, Huang E and her stepmother became very angry because of this title. When Wang first came, Huang E thought that Brother Mao could not have the identity of a concubine in front of her father, so she tolerated Wang a little. During this period, the relationship between the two was slightly relieved, and Huang E’s stepmother’s title was not forced. At this time, she mentioned the title of “Wang” again, which was a vague reminder to the other party: I’m so annoyed, pay attention to your identity.

"I knew, I knew that you resent your father to not go to Taohua Temple to save you, so you planned to sit and see your father in danger... Oh my God, Brother Mao, please beg your sister to make her kind and save your father." Wang cried out in pain.

"What's the noise?" Shi Chuan walked in with a dark face: "I'm ordering troops and going to Shuyang to see the marriage - on a festive day, why are you crying?"

Wang immediately closed his mouth, held Brother Mao in his arms, and covered Brother Mao's mouth tightly.

Shidai is always kind at home, and often has a smile on his face. Even if he meets a dog in the yard, he will dodge his way to the dog first. He rarely sees his face with a gloomy face...
