Red Chamber Fellows: You Are Not Guilty

When I got up the next day, the guards and armor guards who had already received the Minggong order cleaned up the place where they lived, and filled the water tanks where they lived before returning the house to the owner. .The people of the whole town were stunned, and the chief there felt hot with the silver in his hand.

"You don't have to be polite, chief," Mr. Shi said to the chief in a warm voice, "Everyone deserves these, but we don't have broken silver, and the chief has to replace it with broken silver and distribute it to everyone. Besides, we still need If you stay here for a few days, whether it is fetching water or shopping, you will have to bother everyone. They say that brothers have to settle their accounts clearly, so it would be better for us to settle the accounts first and then get along with each other."

Such a village head who is dedicated to the people of the tribe deserves respect.But human nature is greedy, and giving money is a good thing in the first place, but once the chief becomes greedy, the money he gives will be cheaper than the cunning villain, so Mr. Shi still raised his voice when he talked about handing over the money, and let the people around people hear clearly.

The words were heard clearly, but troubles also came.When these people saw Jia She and others doing things, and saw that there was money to take, they all felt a little hopeful about Shu, and immediately didn't want Jia She and the others to leave: "Patriarch, we are strong, and we can sleep outside for a few days. If it’s a hindrance, why don’t you let Master Bing live in my house.”

"That's right, that's right, soldiers are working hard, so we still have to live in the house."

"That's right, let the women in the family come out to wash and cook for the soldiers. These are not jobs that big men can do."

There was a lot of chatter for a while, all he said was to persuade him to stay, and all he looked at was the money in the hands of the chief.

Mr. Shi didn't wait for the head of the village to speak, he said loudly to the crowd: "Thank you for your kindness, we have our own tents, and we just set up camp outside the town. I feel sorry for always letting everyone sleep on the street." Everyone wanted to persuade him again, but he changed his tone: "Besides, the general has to meet your magistrate today, so it will be very inconvenient in the town." If we were in the town, your county magistrate might give us a meal. .

In this way, the townspeople are scattered.The guards and Jia She's own Jiawei (let's call it Jiawei from now on, it's always said that the people Jia She leads or the people in Zhuangzi, it's too awkward, Jia Tong Jia) went to camp outside the town.Jia Amnesty and Mr. Shi thanked the head of the village again, and after seeing them off, they discussed the matter of arriving at the Suizhou camp in the private house where they lived, and left after the camp was set up.

Thinking of the matter of a certain emperor Zhou Peigong building the granary for the Northwest Army, Jia Amnesty said to himself, "I don't know if there is a granary built near Suizhou."

Mr. Shi didn't know what was going on in his mind, so he asked: "There are not many grasses here, and it is a waste to build a granary and have to transport grain from other places?"

"What about wartime?" Jia She asked.

What I'm talking about is Mr. Shi. When he slapped his thigh, Mr. Shi felt pain, so he just slapped Jia Amnesty: "You've been saying for 20 years that you're just waiting to die. I don't think so, right?"

Jia She rubbed his aching arm and said, "It's because I'm eating and waiting to die that I thought about how to die in a decent way. For a while, I thought that it would be good to die in defense of foreign enemies." Can tell Is your father also someone who has read historical novels?

Mr. Shi didn't know that he was perfunctory, so he persuaded him: "Now that you have started to take revenge, don't say it, I think several ideas are beneficial to the country and the people. Even if the prince knows it, he will be happy for you as an apprentice. Why do you have to suffer so much?"

"What benefits the country and the people?" Jia Amnesty didn't want to say that he just played the "Su" essence of the traverser: "It's just that I don't want to suffocate myself and think about it before taking revenge."

When Mr. Shi looked at him again, his eyes were different, but he patted his shoulder again and did not speak.This time it didn't hurt, so Jia Amnesty rubbed it without pretending.

In the middle of the morning, Jia Amnesty and the others had completely moved outside the town, when a green woolen sedan chair carried by four people came from afar.

Captain Li is now fully armored, and the three small captains around him are also neatly dressed. They stood at the gate of the camp and shouted to the people: "Nine provinces inspectors, first-class general Mr. Jia is here, who broke into the camp?" The guard immediately pulled the knife out of its sheath.

When the visitor saw him, he felt hopeless, so he only asked the bearer to stop the sedan chair, instead of the master, he came down and bowed his hands to Captain Li, saying: "Wu Youdao, the magistrate of Qingjian County, is here to pay a visit to General Jia."

Captain Li asked people to wait outside the camp, and went to report Jia Amnesty himself.After a while, a guard came over and shouted: "General Jia invites County Magistrate Wu." The master and others also wanted to follow up, but the guards still drew their knives and stopped them outside.

The magistrate of County Wu felt like a drum beating in his heart, and he was careful to go outside Jia She's tent. The Jiawei had already seen the person coming, but he didn't take his eyes off the tent and reported it until he was outside the tent.

After some pretentiousness, County Magistrate Wu hadn't seen the rightful owner yet, and he was already a little timid in his heart. As soon as he got the money, he made a formal greeting ceremony: "Your Majesty Wu Youdao, Magistrate of Qingjian County, pays homage to the General."

Jia Amnesty didn't cry out in a hurry, anyway, he was a first rank, and with the emperor's order, he deserved to be worshiped by a seventh rank county magistrate.After taking a sip of tea, he put the teacup upright and said, "Magistrate Wu, please."

The magistrate of County Wu is also a well-behaved person, and there is no harm in admitting his mistakes first: "The general is diligent in the king's affairs, and the subordinate has not waited to receive the post report. I don't think the general has arrived. It is really the negligence of the subordinate. Please forgive me "I didn't receive the post report, so I didn't know you were coming, so don't make random picks.

Jia Amnesty nodded, and said plainly, "I didn't blame Wu County Magistrate. After all, military orders are only passed on to the battalion and are not under the control of the local government. It's inevitable that the county magistrate didn't know about it." Not good enough to know.

Wu County Magistrate was sweating when he heard this, but fortunately Jia Amnesty didn't make things difficult for him anymore and let him get up and take his seat.It's just asking about the geometry of the area, the population, and the production.This county magistrate Wu is not confused, he answered clearly.

When he gradually relaxed, Jia She asked abruptly, "Qingjian is not far from the camp, how is it related to the camp?"

The county magistrate Wu probably answered this question many times before he opened his mouth and said, "General Sun is now leading the army in the camp. Not to mention strict military discipline, he still loves the people like a child, and will never offend the people."

Jia Amnesty nodded, and asked again: "Have the soldiers in the camp been out of the camp for drills? Has there been any disturbance to the people?"

The county magistrate didn't know that Jia Amnesty and others lived in the town yesterday, and saw that the tents in the barracks were neatly set up and heavily guarded. , absolutely nothing to disturb the people. General Sun has always run the army strictly and strictly prohibited his subordinates, and he is well-known in the state."

"Well." Jia She said thoughtfully: "Then I have traveled all the way, but I heard that there are often bandits infesting here, causing great harm to the people. Since General Sun loves the people so much, County Magistrate Wu never thought of asking General Sun to send troops to suppress them." Bandits?"

Fuck it.How those bandits came, anyone with eyes knows, okay?However, County Magistrate Wu has even regarded Jia She as a Beijing official who does not understand local political and military affairs so far, and only perfunctory him with clichés: "It's not that I haven't invited him, but it's just that when the army moves, the momentum is like a rainbow. Those bandits also have eyes and ears. When the army came, they fled far away, and when the army returned without success, they returned."

Jia Amnesty amused the county magistrate.Are you sure this is still a bandit, not my heroic guerrilla who has learned my Tai and Zu's guerrilla tactics?Seeing him laughing, County Magistrate Wu didn't know what he was laughing at, so he laughed along with him.

Jia Shele praised and said: "The bandits are so cunning, the army is helpless? I wonder how many times the army has taken the bandits' lair? What have they gained?"

Can I say not once?But I talked too much just now, and it is not easy to take it back at this time, County Magistrate Wu can only talk nonsense: "This place is mostly bandits, and the place is difficult, but the gains are not great."

Mr. Shi couldn't take it anymore: "Even if it's not big, it's better than nothing. In Beijing, I haven't heard about the Suizhou army suppressing bandits."

It's still really hot this day, even the large tent of the lieutenant general is quite spacious, but it's not very ventilated, making county magistrate Wu sweat all over his body.Jia Amnesty also offered tea frequently, but the county magistrate didn't dare to reply to Mr. Shi's words while drinking tea.

When the county magistrate's tea was almost drunk, and the sweat disappeared with the hot tea, Jia She said again: "This time we came to Guixian, I'm afraid we will bother you for a few days, I hope Guixian will not born resentment."

How dare the county magistrate complain?Even if there is, don't say it in person. It's just a general's work.Jia Amnesty didn't need him to be a dog or a horse, and he was afraid that he would bite him back, so he said: "I heard what Guixian said today, and I know a lot about Suizhou's military. This is the kindness of your county. This general has already remembered it gone."

You know a lot about what I said?This county magistrate Wu really wanted to cry for Jia She to see, if Jia She can say good things about the garrison in the future, then he will be fine, but if there is a word "no", then he will become a villain who sues behind his back.Thinking about General Sun and his fierce son, the county magistrate already felt that he was not far from meeting his ancestors.

It is to let your dog bite the dog.Being able to flatter the garrison so smoothly in front of his face, who would believe that the county magistrate hadn't been recruited by that General Sun?He didn't expect them to really be able to fight each other, he would be satisfied even if he responded to someone a little.It can be said that for this County Magistrate Wu, Jia Amnesty has already made you feel uncomfortable, and I will let you be unlucky for the rest of your life to the extreme.This matter has nothing to do with personal grievances, and it was only the first time he met the county magistrate, so what kind of grievances could there be?However, the county magistrate does not make decisions for the people, and even assists the murderer to sing praises, which is not something that young Jia Erb can tolerate.

Waiting for the county magistrate with a bitter face, he promised to send Lao Jun's things to condolences to General Jia in the afternoon.He also thought that he asked Jia Amnesty and Mr. Shi whether they needed a considerate girl to serve him. He was rejected and praised for being honest and upright. After being a model, he finally met his master's bearer outside the camp and went back to the county to prepare. do not mention.

Mr. Shi asked someone to change the tea again, and said to Jia She, who had a bad face, "This kind of person is common in the localities. You just haven't seen it before, so it's worth getting angry?"

But Jia Amnesty said, "I have to take the exam."

"Haven't arrived in Suizhou yet, so I'm in a hurry to submit the booklet, isn't it a bit too hasty?"

Jia She explained: "I thought that with the list given by Qin Ying, it would be easier to win Suizhou. But now it seems that General Sun may have caused a lot of trouble, and he has a lot of grievances in the local area. Once If there is a change, we will be embarrassed. It is better to simply stay here for a few more days and wait for the emperor's reply before entering the camp, so that we can have more leeway."
