In the face of the distrust of the villagers, he didn't care at all, he continued: "Some time ago, the government suppressed bandits, and this gang of robbers was the bandits who were defeated by the government. Most of them are already frightened birds. If they were scared again, they would think that it might be the nearby townspeople, or the government was coming, and they didn't dare to make another move, and they would definitely retreat! Everyone, hurry! Pressed for time! ”

The oil dealer's analysis was reasonable, Zhang Biwu nodded, he couldn't help but look at the oil dealer, and he looked at the oil dealer differently.

The oil dealer urged: "Hurry! It's too late! Hurry up! Before he finished speaking, he came to the lotus fork in person, and cried out, "Tie me!" "What he meant was to make him a hostage, and the villagers would believe him and act quickly.

On the contrary, the person with the lotus fork was afraid, but he didn't expect that he was really not afraid of death! The old man nodded and said, "Yes! Our village is close to the official road, and it is said that robbers dare not come, and some time ago there was indeed an official government to suppress bandits, and what he said is also reasonable! Do as he says! The robbers don't know the way, time is pressing, if they come, everything will be finished! ”

The old man pointed to firecrackers, drums, gongs, etc., and said, "We have prepared all these things!" Let's go, everyone! ”

Since Zhang Biwu and Lin Xiangfeng are foreigners, they have also been looked at by some old people and women, and they are afraid that they are the robbers' internal response!

But people haven't taken action yet, they're still hesitating. Zhang Biwu touched Lin Xiangfeng and said, "Uncle Lin, what he said is reasonable!" We have to give him a hand! Lin Xiangfeng bowed his head clearly.

He was about to identify himself, he immediately took out the waist card, which was the waist card of the government, held it to everyone, and shouted: "Listen to his orders!" Otherwise, we will all die! ”

This time, when they saw that an official was speaking for the oil dealer, they didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and immediately complied. The young men quickly divided into two groups and set up an ambush after arriving in the village, preparing to burn firecrackers or beat gongs and drums.

Sure enough, the robbers came with a clamour, and they made a long detour to the back of the village. Just as they were about to storm the back of the village, the village was full of drums and shouts, not only that, but there were also people on both sides shouting, and some people shouted: "Catch the robbers!" Brothers, your lordship has an order, and there is a reward for catching robbers! ”

The robbers were eager to storm the village and burn and loot, but as soon as they heard the shouts of the arrival of the officers and soldiers, they were all afraid! After all, they let the officials and soldiers flee for their lives, and this village is close to the official road, maybe the officials and soldiers really came here. They did not dare to be reckless any longer, and fled one after another.

The villagers were surprised, they originally thought that the robbers would force their way into the village, and even if they did what the oil dealer said, they were uneasy, and if they saw the robbers entering the village, they would have to go back to the village and fight the robbers to the death. Now that the robbers had run away, they were overjoyed, and they couldn't help but have a good impression of the oil dealer.

When Zhang Biwu saw all this, he couldn't help but praise: "This oil dealer is really accurate!" He's not an ordinary person! I'm really interested in getting to know him! ”

Lin Xiangfeng couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, and said, "Isn't he still being held?" Won't we just save him later? If it's useful, I want him to help you fight the country, it's also good! Zhang Biwu smiled, he was really interested in this oil dealer.

The villagers returned to the village one after another, and the oil dealers were also brought out, and the villagers did not have the appearance of asking for the guilt before, but they still felt that the oil dealers had burned the house, although there was a reason for the incident, but they wanted to ask for compensation!

At this moment, Zhang Biwu spoke, willing to help the oil dealers compensate for the losses, and first explained the reason, without the oil dealers' clever plan, their village would not be able to survive this difficult time, and the oil dealers' actions are also excusable, although the behavior is excessive.

Since Zhang Biwu and Lin Xiangfeng had already revealed their official identities just now, of course these villagers would not be embarrassed. And they think that the oil dealers are doing it all to save them.

Zhang Biwu didn't want them to have no compensation, so he said: "Of the five houses burned, three are old houses, and I have twenty taels of silver here, and you can give them to five families!" As for your village to be rescued, do other people have the money to contribute some money, and the strength to help the people whose houses have been burned down to build houses immediately? ”

Since Zhang Biwu has spoken like this, they have also agreed to come down together, and they will no longer embarrass the oil dealers. And this night, they will also arrange for Zhang Biwu and the others to sleep well.

Of course, after the robbers made such a fuss, this night was also tossed for most of the night. At the end of the day, Zhang Biwu woke up, and because he had agreed with the oil dealer before, they would go on the road together, so they went together.

When they arrived in town, they found a tavern, and sat down, Zhang Biwu had too many questions in his heart, and he wanted to let the oil dealer answer them one by one.

Of course, this is not in a hurry, and after three rounds of drinking, it is good to ask. The oil dealer first introduced himself, his surname is Xuan Jianhao is a native of Hengzhou, Nanning Prefecture, in order to make a living engaged in oil sales, this time he went away, due to heavy rain missed the trip, and then there was today's incident.

Hengzhou was originally under the jurisdiction of Xunzhou Prefecture in the early years of Hongwu, and later belonged to Nanning Prefecture in the tenth year of Hongwu, and soon it was assigned to Xunzhou Prefecture, and it was later determined to be under the management of Nanning Prefecture.

Zhang Biwu brought the topic back to the topic: "Brother Jianhao, when you did this, didn't you think about yourself?" Don't you have an accident because of this? ”

Xuan Jianhao laughed and said, "Do you know what other people call me? They all call me a bad guy or a fool! They all say that I am a wonderful person, always thinking about others and living for others, rarely living for myself and thinking about myself! Zhang Biwu and Lin Xiangfeng nodded, they believed what Xuan Jianhao said.

Xuan Jianhao said: "The big husband has something to do and something not to do!" If you want to do it, don't think about personal honor and disgrace. No matter what happens, there are successes and failures, and you have to take risks! If you want to do it again, you never have to! Besides, the matter was urgent, and all I could think of was this idea, so I naturally had to implement it quickly. ”

"I told the old man in the village first, and when he was still stupid, I didn't care if he agreed or not, ha! I'm so stupid! ”

"I know that the old man is well-informed, and he also knows that there are not many young and strong men in their village, and because of the long period of peace, they are really not the opponent of the robbers. Even if it is repulsed, there will be a lot of deaths! It might as well be my way! The old man will definitely gamble! They didn't bring firecrackers, drums, and gongs to prove that I was right! ”

Zhang Biwu and Lin Xiangfeng nodded, because they felt strange when they saw that the old man came so quickly, and he brought gongs, drums, etc.! At that time, they were out of breath when they saw a group of old people, but now when they heard what Xuan Jianhao said, they understood the whole story.
