Tang Dynasty: The seventh rank of official residence, and you will be given the Ten Thousand People

"There is another gangster, who is he?" Liu Zi scratched his head and glanced at the corpse on the ground. The main officials of the county government were all here, and no one was missing.

"This person is naturally Master Sun!"

"Master Sun?"

"That's right." Fan Xin nodded and said in a deep voice: "This person usually behaves in a low-key manner and is easily ignored by others. If Zhang Song hadn't exposed his flaw, I really wouldn't have been able to discover his identity."

Speaking of Master Sun, Fan Xin sighed with emotion. When he first took office, Zhang Song repeatedly violated him, relying on his being a local snake.

It was Master Sun who came forward to help with official affairs before he got used to it.

I didn't expect that such an honest person who is down-to-earth and willing to work would be the spy sent by Li Chong. It's unbelievable to think about it.

"No wonder I didn't look at this guy's shadow. He was hiding." Liu Zi reacted and kicked Zhang Song.

"You are really stupid to be used by your subordinates even though you are a dignified county magistrate!"

Zhang Song snorted coldly: "So what, it's better than losing your lives. No one can save you if you offend the prince!"

"Say that again, you old dog, and I'll kick you to death..."

"Okay!" Signaling the six men to stop, Fan Xin said to Lin Tie: "There are still a few fish that have slipped through the county government office. You should go with me to catch them immediately to prevent these people from escaping early."

"General, I obey your orders!" Lin Tie cupped his fists and waved his hands to several of his subordinates.

"Bring Zhang Song and all these corpses back!"

"Yes!"

After loading the bodies onto carts, the sergeants lined up in two lines with weapons in hand and headed to the Wushui County government office. When passing Zhang Song, Fan Xin paused.

"Remember, there is only one piece of sky above my head in the Tang Dynasty, and that is the emperor. King Langya's sword can't kill me!"

After saying that, he shook the reins and ran towards the city, leaving Zhang Song behind with a pale face.

After the station returned to calm, a man dressed in casual clothes came out of hiding.

He first glanced at the blood stains on the ground, then wrote a few words in the Book of Impermanence, and smiled.

"There is only a piece of sky above the head of the Tang Dynasty. This sentence is interesting."

"If this kid can survive the next catastrophe, he can be recommended to the leader of the inner guard..."

The breeze blew and the inn became quiet again.

……

Wushui County Government Office, lobby.

Master Sun appeared here as always, walking around with his hands behind his back, stopping from time to time to raise his head and take a look outside.

It had been two hours since Fan Xin left for the inn, and it was time to finish killing the pig.

Zhang Song has not come back until now. Years of vigilance told him that something must have happened.

"No, it's not suitable to stay here for a long time. I have to leave Wushui County first!"

After making a decision in his heart, Master Sun stopped and said to the yamen at the door.

"Go and pack your things. We'll go back to Liaocheng in a while."

"Do you need to tell Zhang Xiancheng about such a big matter?"

"No need, if I'm not wrong, Zhang Song, this loser, has already failed." Master Sun sighed.

"Hurry up and pack your things. It's still too late to escape before Fan Xin knows our identities."

Seeing that Chief Sun's words were so serious, the yamen servant also knew that something serious was going on, so he quickly returned to the room to collect the gold and silver.

After half a stick of incense, the two quietly left from the side door of the county government office. Before they could breathe a sigh of relief, a laugh rang out from behind them.

"Master Sun is not in the lobby to help me handle official duties. Where are you planning to go?"

Hearing this, Master Sun was shocked and turned around slowly. When he saw the person in front of him clearly, the last trace of luck in his heart was gone.

Sure enough, Zhang Song failed to kill Fan Xin.

Seeing his expression, Fan Xin chuckled.

"Looking at your appearance, you seem a little surprised that I came back alive."

Forcibly suppressing the panic in his heart, Master Sun forced a smile.

"The Ming Dynasty misunderstood. I heard that Zhang Song led people to the inn to harm you. I was about to go to find reinforcements, but I didn't expect you to come back."

"This is great, God bless you!"

Looking at Master Sun wiping his tears with his sleeve, Fan Xin spoke.

"The reinforcements Chief Sun is looking for shouldn't be King Langya, right?"

As soon as these words came out, Master Sun's movements froze and his face gradually darkened.

"It seems you already know everything. Yes, I am King Langya's spy in Wushui County!"

"I was ordered to assist Zhang Song in getting rid of you, the traitor who betrayed the Li Tang royal family!"

"Give me your life!" As he said this, Chief Sun took advantage of others' unpreparedness, pulled out his short blade and stabbed Fan Xin.

At the critical moment, Lin Tie roared angrily, and the sword in his hand came out of its sheath and hit him hard on the back.

Master Sun was just a literati who had no strength to restrain a chicken. How could he bear this? He immediately fell to the ground and spurted a mouthful of blood from his mouth.

"Master!" The Yamen servant exclaimed and rushed forward.

Chief Sun shook his head, indicating that the government servant was fine, and raised his head to look at Fan Xin.

"You don't have to be proud. It won't be long before the prince will lead his army to destroy this place, and you will definitely die without a burial place. Hahaha...

Bang!

The hammer fell and the laughter stopped abruptly.

Liuzi patted the dust on his sleeves and said, "Master, what should I do with this old bastard?"

"Lock him and Zhang Song first. After guarding the city, they will be handed over to the people sent by the imperial court to deal with them."

Fan Xin glanced at the unconscious Master Sun and led the generals to the lobby.

Although the traitors in the county government have been eliminated, the real danger comes from Li Chong's army attacking the city.

If he remembered correctly, today was the tenth day of August, and there were only seven days left before King Fan Yang reported the matter and Li Chong hurriedly launched an army.

In other words, there is not much time left for him to recruit troops, prepare for war, and consolidate the city!

Thinking of this, Fan Xin no longer hesitated and threw a sign at Lin Tie.

"Lieutenant Lin, I order you to immediately lead two thousand soldiers to take over the city defense, set up oil pans on the city wall, and hoard stones!"

"General, I obey!" Lin Tie clasped his fists, turned around and left the hall with several of his subordinates.

Then, Fan Xin said to Liu Zi: "I have no one under my command at the moment, so I can only let you go once."

Having been master and servant for more than ten years, Liuzi naturally knew that the young master was in trouble. Hearing this, he solemnly said: "Young master, just follow your orders."

Fan Xin nodded and threw him a sign.

"I order you to lead five hundred people to raise a month's worth of food within seven days!"

"Young man understands, let's do it now!" Liu Zi took the order and left the hall.

When there was only one fat official left in the lobby, Fan Xin's expression softened a bit.

"Zhou Dianjiao, you don't have to be afraid. The prisoners Zhang and Sun below have nothing to do with you this time."

"As long as you fulfill your duties and help me defend the city, I will definitely recommend you to be the county magistrate afterwards."

Hearing that Fan Xin did not intend to pursue him, Zhou Cang breathed a sigh of relief, cupped his hands and said: "I am willing to obey the orders of Magistrate Fan."

"Okay, I order you to go to the prison immediately to recruit prisoners. Anyone who is willing to defend the city will be tried again afterwards."

Fan Xin thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to recruit the prisoners on death row to let the women and children leave, and try his best to expand the number of troops defending the city.

Only in this way can he survive the upcoming siege...
