When the servants came back to report, Wu Yuan secretly thought that "there is a tacit understanding", these people took the initiative to come to the door and saved him a lot of trouble. Unexpectedly, when he met the people, he realized that all of them were either crying or unhappy, as if their ancestral graves were being destroyed.

Clean appearance.

Wu Yuan's heart skipped a beat when he saw this. He couldn't help but mutter in his mind what kind of medicine these people were selling, and he had prepared himself mentally in advance. He was about to say a few words of greeting, and by the way, he would tell these people not to come and touch him at this time.

of mold.

Before the manuscript even started, one of them was already aggrieved with tears in his eyes. He came forward to express his grievances and hoped that the county government could lend them someone.

Wu Yuan still didn't know what happened.

He only heard the word "borrower".

He then said: "Borrowing someone? You all know the current situation. The rebels are watching eagerly outside the city. We have reached the predicament of having a sword hanging on our necks. The troops in the city dare not slack off for a moment. Borrowing someone... I must not be willing to do so. It is really necessary."

There is no shortage of manpower..."

The best way to deal with this kind of "borrower" is to "repay him in kind". Wu Yuan changed his embarrassed expression and sighed: "It's embarrassing to say that I was still thinking about it last night

, do you want to be shameless and borrow your private department from your family..."

As he said this, he rolled his eyes in his heart.

The fool thought with his toes and knew that these elite private subordinates of the family gentry had already escorted the master's family out of Xiaocheng, leaving behind only crooked melons and cracked dates. When sent to the battlefield, the damage was better than scraping, and they purely provided warmth to the enemy.

Give away a human head and give military glory.

Wu Yuan never counted on these people.

As soon as he said this, everyone who came to the door looked at each other.

At this time, one of them stood up covering his bruised eyes. Wu Yuan took a closer look and almost lost control of his expression and laughed out loud. However, he has been very good at managing his expressions for many years, so he held it back and showed a bit of "coming from the heart"

Concerned, I stepped forward to ask him.

"What-what's wrong with you?"

Half of his sleeves were burned to ashes, most of his goatee was gone, and there was a big bruise on the orbit of his right eye. If you look closely, you will find that the bridge of his nose is more skewed than before, and the root of his nose is slightly green, which makes

How pitiful and pitiful.

Wu Yuan was shocked in his heart - you must know that this is Xiaocheng, and these family gentry who are rooted here are the local snakes! Even if the rebels come to the city, no one will open their eyes to provoke them. What happened to them, how could it be like this?

Embarrassed?

The middle-aged man in question wiped away tears with half of his burnt sleeves and cried out what had happened - at midnight last night, a group of mobs took advantage of their weak defense and rushed into their tribe's land to plunder and plunder, injuring dozens of servants.

Guard, and then walk away!

Wu Yuan said in horror: "Mob?"

The middle-aged man replied: "Yes, they are all mobs."

Wu Yuan looked at the others again: "What about you?"

Others said: "The situation is similar."

Wu Yuan then asked: "So - you are here to report to the official?"

The middle-aged man put away his crying expression, wiped the remaining tears from the corners of his eyes, and twirled his half-scorched beard: "That's right. We are also aware of the county's difficulties, but the losses this time are huge. If we can't catch that gang,"

Mob, how can we have the face to stay in Xiaocheng and Sibao County in the future! Please give us justice, and we must let the lawbreakers be punished!"

Wu Yuan twitched the corner of his mouth and said secretly, "How can you old guys have such a face?" No matter how disgusted he was in his heart, he still couldn't show it on the surface. He said: "Listen to me, gentlemen, it's not right or wrong.

Ken, it’s really because…”

He still wanted to use the lack of manpower as an excuse.

How can they solve the case and catch the thief at this time? They also said that they were a group of mobs and successfully robbed their property. Being able to do this shows that there are quite a few people involved, and maybe there are also strong warriors.

Warrior, how should he be captured?

The middle-aged man took a deep breath.

Asked Wu Yuan: "So you don't agree?"

Wu Yuan raised his eyebrows: "What are you talking about? What do you mean by refusal? The relationship between you and me is like lips and teeth, lips are dead and teeth are cold! But I am really powerless. I can't allocate the soldiers on the city wall who are dealing with the enemy to deal with this matter.

Bar?"

The middle-aged man snorted coldly.

Asked Wu Yuan: "Do you know what was robbed?"

The more Wu Yuan listened, the more he felt that there was something in this person's words, and he felt a little bit angry. Although he seemed to be easy to talk to, it didn't mean that these people could really get into trouble. So, he responded a little more forcefully and asked: "Don't you guys?

Say, how do I know that?"

The middle-aged man stared at Wu Yuan's face for a moment, not wanting to miss the slightest bit of strange expression, and said in an eccentric manner: "It's food!"

Wu Yuan's voice suddenly rose: "Food?"

How could it be such a coincidence?

He was determined to "borrow food", but their food was intercepted by the "mob". Wu Yuan couldn't help but glance at everyone with suspicious eyes, secretly worried that they had placed eyes and ears around him, and these eyes and ears were still

Someone he trusts quite a lot.

The people in front of him didn't want to "borrow", so they staged a drama of "mobs intercepting food" and even ran to him to cry.

Wu Yuanxin's face turned green and pale.

He has begun to worry that his identity will be exposed.

If so——

He lowered his eyelids calmly, suppressing the killing intent in his eyes.

I'm afraid I can't keep this person in front of me!

The middle-aged man was not aware of his dangerous situation. His fingers were trembling with anger, his back teeth were grinding loudly, and he said in a strange way: "Yes. Not only my family, but also every granary present was attacked by the 'mob'! This is unavoidable"

What a coincidence! How could a group of 'mobs' know the location of each family's granary? How could they move so quickly without unified command and dispatch?"

This time I came here not only to "borrow someone" to recover losses, but also to test the situation. After all, the county government, which is extremely short of food, is also highly suspected.

Wu Yuanyin had a sullen face.

For the first time in my life, I was suspected of being a thief.

"You guys, tell me what you want to say, don't beat around the bush! What does the life and death of Xiaocheng have to do with me if you say something that doesn't sit well with me? It doesn't matter if the rebels surrender as soon as the city gate is opened, but it is related to your personal fortune and the life of the whole family!

On the county side, even if there is a shortage of food and people, it will not bother you, right? You guys are indiscriminate and frame up by rogues, which is really chilling!"

Although Wu Yuan is still young, he is a bit timid when he gets angry, and his attitude is even more open and aboveboard.

For a moment everyone looked at each other and couldn't make up their minds.

They didn't dare to really anger Wu Yuan. If they really pissed people off and he didn't say anything about Kaicheng surrender, they really had no place to cry.

The middle-aged man spoke politely to comfort him.

"Wu Lang, please calm down, that's not what I meant. It's because the loss was too great that I lost my composure... Please forgive me."

After saying that, he bowed his head to the end.

Wu Yuan could only reluctantly soften his expression and walked down the steps.

The two sides cannot quarrel with each other yet.

So, everyone takes a step back.

Wu Yuan wrote a few bad checks and promised to send someone to keep an eye on the whereabouts of the "mob" and inform him as soon as there was any news - after all, there was such a "mob" who could rob various granaries and walk away.

"Wu Yuan is not worried about the power.

Is this different from an enemy sleeping on a hanging beam in a bedroom?

How old do you have to be to fall asleep?

After finally getting rid of these people, Wu Yuan became angrier the more he thought about it.

Wu Yuan received everyone, and Gu Chi was also listening in the back hall, which was only separated by a screen. As soon as they left, he walked out of the back hall, his brows still furrowed tightly, making his already gloomy and weak face look even more gloomy.

.His ideas are partially consistent with Wu Yuan.

These family gentlemen came prepared!

Wu Yuan looked in the direction of the door with a gloomy face, put down the tea cup with a snap, and asked: "Mr. Gu, what do you think of this matter?"

Gu Chi said: "The timing is too coincidental."

Wu Yuan asked again: "Mr. Gu also suspects that there is a mole?"

Gu Chi was about to answer "yes",

At this time, the voice belonging to Gong Cheng was approaching - although his voice did not have a logical and complete expression, judging from the fleeting short sentences, Gong Cheng was in a very good mood at this time - ten sentences, five sentences of praise

My brother-in-law is so brave, wise, smart and decisive. The remaining five sentences are all about praising my uncle for being a strong warrior, how powerful he is, and how he is so much like his second uncle!

Gu Chi was speechless.

After spending so much time with Gong Cheng, it was rare to hear the increasingly silent former favorite praise someone from the bottom of his heart. Even for Wu Yuan, Gong Cheng's voice was mostly gratitude, or guilt that he was a burden to Wu Yuan.
