Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 113 Concerning the Life and Death of Lingyang People
"My lord, then we will go to Lingyang County! It seems that something happened, or maybe it is the Lu family in Lingyang. If you have anything to discuss with the lord!"

After hearing the person's report, Wang Yuyan also looked confused, thought for a while, and then said to Zhu Wei, the Lu family in Lingyang is the most powerful gentry family in Lingyang County.

"Okay, but Pang Yan and Tai Shici are training soldiers, why don't we let Mulan lead people to go with us!"

Zhu Wei, who had several experience in hosting Hongmen Banquets, naturally couldn't make the mistake of taking risks lightly, so every time he went out, he would be escorted by Pang Yan or Mulan.

Soon Zhu Wei and Wang Yuyan summoned Mu Lan, ordered fifty guards, and took a carriage to Lingyang County.

When they came to the gate of the county seat, Zhu Wei and Wang Yuyan found that many big and small families in Lingyang County seemed to have been summoned. Each family either took a horse-drawn carriage or an ox cart. After entering the city, they went to Lingyang County. Ya Temple in the past.

This made Zhu Wei and Wang Yuyan hesitate again. What is the matter that requires so many people from Lingyang County to come? Could it be that the magistrate of Lingyang County came forward to mediate the current situation in Lingyang County.

It was still the Lu family from Lingyang who wanted to take this opportunity to announce his status to the big and small families in Lingyang, but in this case, there is no need to invite Zhu Wei here.

The two finally arrived at the Yasi Temple in Lingyang County. Mu Lan led people to guard them, and they went to a hall in the backyard under the leadership of the Yasi County soldiers.

Then the fifty guards stayed in the courtyard and stood, while Mu Lan stretched out his hand to hold the saber at his waist, and accompanied Zhu Wei and Wang Yuyan to take off their shoes, got on the couch and walked into the hall.

Seeing that Zhu Wei had arrived, the county magistrate hurried forward to greet him, and the other big and small clans in Lingyang also stood up and saluted Zhu Wei.

Now Zhu Wei's status is not simple. Although he doesn't have the title of Marquis of Qian Tang, the post of captain of Yuzhang County is also a county-level military post that is worth more than two thousand shi.

The county magistrate is just a local civil servant, depending on the population of the county, ranging from six hundred to one thousand shi, so Zhu Wei's official position is at least two levels above the county magistrate.

"Captain Zhu is here, please forgive me for being too far away to greet you! Captain Zhu, please take your seat!"

Although the county magistrate was from a gentry family, Zhu Wei can be regarded as the second generation of high-ranking officials in the imperial court, so he didn't have that kind of gentry's superiority in front of Zhu Wei.

This county magistrate is about forty years old, and his surname is Lu. It is said that he is the nephew of the head of the Lu family in Lingyang. He looks thin, with a sharp face and a goatee.

Naturally, Zhu Wei returned the salute politely, then nodded to the members of Lingyang big and small families who stood up all around, and then took Wang Yuyan and Mu Lan to his seat and sat down.

Naturally, a maidservant brought tea and snacks, Zhu Wei and Wang Yuyan knelt and sat down, while Mu Lan was still standing behind holding his sword.

Not long after, the hall of this yamen temple was already filled with families of all sizes from Lingyang County, and sitting opposite Zhu Wei was the patriarch of the Lu family in Lingyang County, a man who looked like he was five or sixty years old, but he felt very With an arrogant look, he didn't mean to say much to the other family members.

In addition, two powerful families who originally belonged to the same large families in Lingyang County also sent people. One family sat at the head of the old man Lu, and the other sat at the head of Zhu Wei.

Sitting at the head of Zhu Wei is the powerful Li family who was burned by Zhu Wei and killed many people. Now the temporary head of the family is the eldest son of the direct line who led the troops back.

However, the two families looked at the old man of the Lu family obviously with a strange look, with a bit of anger, it seems that the Lu family should have already messed with them.

Well, let’s not worry about these Zhu Wei for the time being, when the people are almost here, the magistrate of Lingyang County who is in charge of the convening will speak, "Everyone, I invite you to come to the Ya Temple today, I have a big event to tell you! It is actually about the safety of the people in Wulingyang!"

As the magistrate of Lingyang said, the goatee jumped and jumped, as if something big had happened.

In this hall, except for the old man Lu who was still sitting expressionlessly, everyone else could not help but show surprise. It seems that this news should have been obtained by Mr. Lu, but Mr. Lu couldn't figure it out, so they had to gather People from the big families in the county discussed, and even Zhu Wei was invited.

"What's the matter?"

The powerful family member sitting under the old man of the Lu family is a fat man in his forties. He knows that the county magistrate is from the Lu family, so he doesn't give the county magistrate very much face.

"Yeah, what's the matter, hmph, there are still a lot of trifles in a certain family, tell me quickly!"

The eldest son of the Li family who was sitting at the bottom of Zhu Wei also said impatiently that he was really worried about family affairs, so he was not willing to take care of other things.

This man looked to be in his late forties, and he was quite strong-looking. He should have some martial arts skills. He was not at home before, but the family fort was attacked and destroyed by bandits. Naturally, he was full of annoyance.

But now the family members are restless and want to divide the power and property, and the Lu family is eyeing them outside. The Li family is suffering from internal and external troubles.

"Hey, you two should know that the ancestor's family in Lingyang was the first to be robbed! Alas, after the accident of this ancestor's family, someone ran to Jing County, and now Jing County sent a message, saying that it was Shanyue Zulang from Jing County. , General tens of thousands of bandits came to attack Lingyang, thinking that what happened to the ancestors was done by people from Lingyang! This Zulang is not an ordinary person, so he must use this as an excuse to raid Lingyang. It's just that Lingyang County doesn't have many county soldiers guarding it, so the place is in danger!"

The magistrate of Lingyang spoke with a trembling voice, obviously very afraid of Zulang's attack this time.

"Zu Lang?!"

"Tens of thousands of bandits!"

"How good is this! Oops!"

"..."

After hearing the words of the magistrate of Lingyang County, people from big and small families in the hall couldn't help talking about it. The mysterious bandit had disappeared before, but now that there is such a catastrophe again, what kind of taboo did Lingyang commit? Such a thing would provoke such a thing.

Zhu Wei was also taken aback when he heard the words, it seemed that he was the one who provoked this matter.

However, Zhu Wei is not afraid of Zu Lang's bandits, but the consequences of this incident seem to be a bit troublesome. Zhu Wei can't help turning his head to look at Wang Yuyan. Zhu Wei is worried that this will affect his training, will it be Delayed his plan to send troops to Yuzhang.

At the same time, Zhu Wei's military camp and private camp are both outside Lingyang County. If Zu Lang comes to attack the county, then Zhu Wei's military camp and private camp will naturally bear the brunt. I am afraid that Lingyang County will not let his five or six thousand All surnames should hide in Lingyang County.

Lingyang County is not a big county. The earthen city wall is taller than Wubao, but the county does not even have a moat. In addition, the population of the county is only more than 2. The place is not big. If tens of thousands of people enter The common people, I'm afraid they won't even have a place to stay.

Therefore, the best way is to kill and defeat Zu Lang before he reaches Lingyang, so as not to affect Zhu Wei's private farm work...
