Chapter 2857
The prefect king was thinking about the cause and effect, and hurriedly asked with Mao, "Madam, who saved you?"

Mao patted his head and said, "Almost forgot, I really have to thank that little girl for helping me with this matter. If it wasn't for her, I would probably have met the King of Hades in my life."

"Little girl?"

The magistrate raised his eyebrows and said, "Who is she?"

Mao said, "I heard that she is the leader of the beggar gang, and she leads a large group of beggars. She looks less than ten years old, but she is as experienced as an adult."

"Gang gang?"

The magistrate was even more surprised when he heard it, and he thought about it with Mrs. Mao, "Then tell me, who took our [-] gold coins?"

Mao said, "It must be Luan Tingyu. He colluded with the master and sang and acted this good show."

The magistrate shook his head and said, "Looking at Luan Tingyu's appearance just now, it doesn't look like he got the money."

Mao frowned, "Then who are you talking about?"

"I'm not sure either."

The prefect shook his head, always feeling that something was wrong.

He said to Mao, "Can you think of a way to bring that little girl over for me to see?"

Mao said, "I'll give it a try. I agreed with her before that I will treat them to a meal and thank them after they are saved. At that time, you must thank them well."

"It's natural!"

The prefect nodded and asked her to do it immediately.

He took a group of yamen servants to the front line, and watched the enemy's situation on the battlefield on the city wall.

Because the tower is tall and the moat is wide.

The enemy army did not fully attack, but used a strange weapon to continuously bombard the city wall like thunder.

The wave of bombing just now had killed thousands of defenders, and there were three or four thousand wounded soldiers lying on the ground crying.

The halls and pavilions on the city wall have been bombed and collapsed, there are smoke everywhere, and there are ruins everywhere.

The magistrate walked on it, his legs were a little weak, and he was afraid that the bandits would bomb here again.

After seeing Sun Li, he hurriedly asked, "General Sun, how is the battle going?"

Sun Lidao, "don't worry, my lord, our city is so big that the bandits won't be able to get in for a while."

The magistrate frowned and said, "Does that mean that after a long time, the call came in?"

Sun Li sighed, "We are short of food and grass, and the soldiers below can only eat two meals a day. Without assistance, we can only hold on for a while at most."

"Food, it's grain again!"

The magistrate cursed in his heart, and said helplessly to Sun Li, "I am also very helpless. I originally planned to donate a sum of food and grass to the army, but Luan Tingyu snatched it away. General Sun Li, you should think of a way!" "

Sun Li asked him, "Isn't there any assistance from the imperial court? As long as reinforcements arrive here, we will be able to defeat the rebels."

The magistrate whispered to him, "General Sun, I will tell you something from the bottom of my heart. The privy envoys are gone, obviously they have given up here. We can only rely on ourselves now, and it is impossible to get reinforcements." Already!"

"How can we fight this battle!"

Sun Li slammed on the city wall fiercely, speechless on his face.

The magistrate comforted him, "You stick to it first, and I will find a way for you."

He hurriedly withdrew first with his men, firstly he was afraid that the bandit soldiers would bomb here again, and secondly he was afraid that Sun Li would pester him for military pay.

The military salary of the city defense battalion has always been distributed by the government's finances.

The soldiers in the countryside were raised by the wealthy gentry in the countryside, and only the forbidden soldiers ate the official rations of the imperial court.

Where there is even a little silver in the treasury now, Tong Guan took it away.

The magistrate had already considered his own way out. After returning to the government office, he saw his wife happy to come over, and said to him, "Officer, I invited those two little heroes here."

"is it?"

The magistrate immediately asked her to take them there, and saw the two half-grown babies in the lobby.

Mrs. Mao has set up a good meal and is entertaining them.

This girl was eating a chicken leg, she was only seven or eight years old, she was not at all what the magistrate had imagined.

Such a big child, ordinary people are still in the arms of their parents.

After he and his wife entered, the two people inside got up one after another and saluted them generously.

The magistrate happily clasped his fists and said, "You're welcome, I should be the one thanking you. Two little heroes, thank you for saving my wife!"

Song Yuchan wiped her mouth, and smiled lightly at him, "Seeing the road is rough, I just draw my sword to help, the magistrate, you don't need to be polite."

The magistrate saw that she spoke politely and had an extraordinary bearing, so there was something unusual about her.

He sat down with his wife, and asked Song Yuchan, "Dare to ask the little hero's name?"

Song Yuchan introduced, "My name is Qingdou, and this is my eldest brother, Xiao Yi!"

Yan Qing was on the side, nodding politely with the magistrate.

The magistrate repeatedly praised, "That's right, a boy born from a hero. Listen to my wife, are you still the leader of the beggar gang?"

"It's just a vain name!"

Song Yuchan nodded with a smile.

The magistrate pretended to be curious, "I heard that the Beggar Gang is known as the largest gang in the world. I don't know how the little hero became a gang?"

Song Yuchan knew that he was talking nonsense.

She had already said something and said to the magistrate, "Something happened to the former gang leader, so I was temporarily appointed as the gang leader. This year, I have also worked hard and dared not slack off in the slightest."

"So it is."

The magistrate is relieved, knowing that these Jianghu gangs are similar to the imperial court.

As long as the former gang leader speaks out, it is not impossible for this little girl to become the gang leader.

He poured wine for Song Yuchan and Yan Qing himself, and continued to talk with them, "Now that bandits are overwhelming, I don't know what your beggar gang's plans are?"

Song Yuchan said sternly, "We people in Jianghu never take part in the disputes of the court. However, I heard that bandits who harm people are a group of gangsters who carelessly ignore human lives. We are all people who do justice for the sky, and we will never join forces with them!"

"well said!"

The magistrate cheered happily, "I didn't expect that the girl is so enlightened at such a young age, which really impresses me. I respect you for this glass of wine!"

He and Song Yuchan raised their wine glasses, raised their heads and drank it down.

Song Yuchan and Yan Qing returned a glass of wine together, and took the initiative to tell the magistrate, "I don't know if your lord needs help, we are obliged to wait!"

The magistrate said emotionally, "The two heroes know that the way out of the city has been cut off now that bandits are besieging the city. I am determined to pledge myself to the country, but I don't want to see my family die with me. So, I would like to ask you two to Way, send my wife out of the city!"

He saw the defense situation of the lower city today, and knew that Dengzhou City could not be defended.

Now we have to arrange the way back in advance, lest when the time comes, nothing will be left behind.

Song Yuchan and Yan Qing looked at it, stood up together and said to the magistrate, "We will never disappoint your lord's trust, and we must find a way to send my wife out of the city safely!"

"Then please!"

The magistrate stood up and clasped his fists, letting the two of them sit down first.

He went to the inner hall, opened the box, took a silver ticket inside, handed it to Song Yuchan and said, "Little hero, I am a clean and honest official, and I don't have any savings in my hand. This hundred gold coins should be given to you." Don't refuse the gift of thanks from the two of you."

Song Yuchan sneered in her heart, secretly thinking that the old fox's family was really rich, even ten thousand gold coins would be less.

She took the money with her and said to the magistrate, "Then thank you sir!"

The magistrate nodded in satisfaction. If Song Yuchan didn't accept the money, he wouldn't feel at ease handing over his wife to Song Yuchan.
