The second courtyard of the county yamen is the county yazheng hall, which is the place where the people say that the county lord ascends to the court to try the case. Huang Xu fled into the main hall in a panic, but it was pitch black inside. Huang Xu grew up in Yamen since he was a child, and he is very familiar with the main hall, even if there is no light, he can't help her. Huang Xu knew that there was a hall house on the right side of the main hall, which was a temporary resting place before the magistrate was promoted. She didn't think about it, and after escaping into the main hall, she went straight to the hall.

Huang Xu had just slipped into the hall and hid behind the screen, only to hear the sound of footsteps, and then someone said: "Guard the corner gate of the front yard, no one is allowed to enter the courtyard without the instructions of the prefect." ”

Huang Xu heard that it was Zhang Baixing, the copywriter of the Zhixian Yamen, who spoke. This person has always been powerful in the county government, and even Huang Chong, the county magistrate, dared to contradict him, because Huang Xu was very disgusted with him. Hearing this person's voice, Huang Xu was startled. Because she knew that Zhang Baixing was extremely cunning, if she found herself hiding in the hall, she would definitely come up with some way to embarrass herself. It was because she shrank behind the screen, not even daring to make a sound.

Huang Xu's hiding place was no more than a foot away from the official case in the main hall, so that he could hear the voice in the main hall clearly. After Zhang Baixing finished speaking, someone agreed. Then there was a chaotic sound of footsteps in the main hall, followed by people moving tables and chairs, and others whispering. After a long time, I suddenly heard a person cough twice, and the main hall suddenly fell silent.

After a while, I heard someone say in a deep voice: "You have seen today's events. Although the Xu family has been cut down and eradicated, the fierceness and cunning of these pirates are not under the Xu family. It is because everyone must not be careless, we must be cautious and defeat the pirates, so that the four of us can end this deep hatred for nearly a thousand years. ”

Huang Xu was a little familiar when he heard this person speak, but he couldn't remember who it was. After the man finished speaking, a rough voice said: "The year before last, I went to the military department to report on my work, and I heard a few Lang Zhong of the post department say that pirates are nothing great, but their whereabouts are strange, and they rarely engage in tough battles with officers and soldiers. Hidden in the sea on weekdays. While the officers and soldiers are unprepared, there will be a sneak attack. When you sneak attack, take advantage of a little bit and leave, and you will definitely not fall in love. Although the imperial court set up a commander on the southeast coast, it was a big knife to cut mosquitoes, and it was useless. If we could find the location of the pirate headquarters, we would have wiped out all these clowns. ”

When Huang Xu heard this person speak, he immediately heard that the person who spoke was Hu Kun, the commander of Ruyangwei. The reason why she is so familiar with this person's voice is because after Hu Yiyue was killed, Hu Kun broke into the county yamen and wanted to embarrass Huang Chong. After Huang Xu heard the news, he was afraid that his father would suffer a loss, so he hurried over, and heard Hu Kun making a lot of noise outside the house, which was extremely arrogant. It was Huang Xu who firmly remembered Hu Kun's voice.

Hu Kun's voice fell, and the person who spoke before said: "Old Hu, don't be so arrogant. Today, although the 3,000 iron horsemen under your command showed great might, they killed and injured countless of these gangsters. But don't forget, these guys are just second- and third-rate characters in the rivers and lakes, and there is no one in the middle to dispatch and command. Moreover, Huashan, Kunlun, Emei, Qingcheng and other famous and decent masters have also made great efforts, so that you Lao Hu can take the opportunity to defeat these stinky fish and rotten shrimp. However, unlike these gangs, most of the pirates have had the experience of fighting against officers and soldiers. Moreover, there are big and small bosses in the middle of the dispatch and command, and your old Hu's soldiers and horses may not be able to take much advantage when they meet them. ”

I only heard Hu Kun sneer and said: "Master Ji, could it be that the first battle in Haizhou scared your courage, and you were afraid that these little thieves on the sea would not succeed?"

Huang Xu's heart sank, and he remembered that the person who spoke before was Ji Dingzhong, the master of the Luoyang Prefect's Yamen. Since Han Qusi, the prefect of Luoyang, came to Xiuwu County, Huang Xu has also met Ji Dingzhong twice. It's just that this person doesn't talk much, and Huang Xu is not familiar with him.

I only heard Ji Dingzhong say: "Not bad." The battle of Haizhou really made me see the strength of these pirates. It's not that I grow the ambition of others and destroy my own prestige. If they really fight one by one, the officers and soldiers are definitely not the opponents of the pirates. Lao Hu, don't be unconvinced, blow your beard and stare at me. I'm going to put my words here today, the reason why you are empty-eyed is because your cavalry is powerful. But if you fight against pirates, they will never fight against you in the wilderness. The leader of the pirates will definitely try to find a place where your cavalry can't run and fight you, and at that time, I'm afraid that your thousands of iron horsemen will become the target of the pirates. ”

Ji Dingzhong's voice fell, only to hear the sound of "pop", thinking that Hu Kun slapped the table hard. Immediately afterwards, I heard Hu Kun say angrily: "Okay, then I'll fight with the pirates and see who can take advantage!"

At this time, another person said: "Okay, well, the enemy has not yet arrived, and we have quarreled with ourselves, isn't it too ridiculous? Today we have won a great victory, and these shrimp soldiers and crabs will be killed or captured, disrupting the pirates' wishful thinking." In this way, their conspiracy to use these charlatans to contain us has come to naught. The most important thing now is to be prepared to deal with the upcoming pirate boss. ”

Huang Xu heard that the person who spoke was Han Qusi, the prefect of Luoyang. This person is Huang Chong's top boss, since he arrived in Xiuwu County, he has discussed with Huang Chong in the county government many times, and has also met Huang Xu a few times, so Huang Xu recognized him as soon as he heard his voice. It's just that Huang Xu didn't know what these people were talking about, and he felt a little strange in his heart.

After Han Qusi finished speaking, he heard a shrill voice say, "Didn't Master Ji have a plan a long time ago? ”

This person's voice fell, and he only heard Ji Dingzhong say: "Master Yang, you are putting gold on my face." It's just that the situation has changed again, and we have to plan again. We originally planned to borrow the power of the major gangs in the martial arts to lure the pirates to Yuntai Mountain, and then wipe them out in one go. Unexpectedly, the pirates actually noticed it, and they took the first action and burned down the Wuji Temple, the Xiaoyao Temple and the Kongming Temple, turning our original lies into the truth. In this way, the martial arts gang that rushed to the left side of Yuntai Mountain was not only chivalrous characters, but even the evil demons and foreign ways were also lured. Since ancient times, good and evil have not been separated, and when these gangs gather in one place, they must be a mess. The pirates can take this opportunity to use the evil demon path to easily lure away famous and decent families such as Huashan, Kunlun, Emei, and Qingcheng, and their main force can attack Fengmen Village with all their might. Today, although we have defeated these evil demons, we have also seen one thing clearly, except for a few gangs such as Huashan, the so-called chivalrous way is also a plate of scattered sand. If we want to use them to deal with the pirates, we will have to suffer a big loss. The original plan no longer worked, and another way of dealing with the pirates had to be found. ”

After Ji Dingzhong finished speaking, he listened to Zhang Baixing continue: "Right now, in addition to Lao Hu's three thousand iron cavalry and the guards, we can only use the six or seven hundred disciples and disciples of the Shi Family Knife, Lei Fist Sect, and Biyunwu. Although the strength of several major sects such as Huashan, Kunlun, Emei, and Qingcheng is quite strong, they are only one or two hundred people together. The other gangs are simply not reliable. The eyeliner of our faction in several gangs has just spread the word, saying that many gangs have received news and found a treasure left by the former general of the Southern Dynasty in Jiangxi. These gangs are on the move, and they are afraid that they will leave Xiuwu County tomorrow. At this critical juncture, we must work together to defeat the prates who are about to arrive in droves. ”

Zhang Baixing's voice fell, and he only heard Hu Kun say: "There are more than 200 people in Xiuwu County, plus more than 100 people in the Luoyang Prefect's Yamen, but they can also help a lot. Moreover, the dignitaries of the Henan governor's yamen will also rush to Xiuwu County in the near future. In terms of strength, we are naturally above the pirates. I don't think you need to be so nervous, as long as we work together, the pirates will definitely be defeated. ”

Ji Dingzhong smiled and said, "Although Lao Hu's words are a bit big, he has a very good sentence. At present, we are facing great difficulties, and the most important thing is not to make a mess ourselves. The reason why pirates have the upper hand everywhere is that they have long planted eyeliner in the court and the rivers and lakes. I heard that today's Huashan faction found out the undercover pirates hiding in the Red Gun Society, the Iron Palm Gang, and the Xiema Villa, and we can't let the traitors hiding in the five families in Fengmen Village continue to do evil!
