One hundred and twenty-four: throw a pen into a sword
"Sir Bu is not here?"
Li Buzhuo stood at the door in the official post of Hedong County. In front of him was Bu Donghua's maid Tan Qin. He had visited Bu Donghua several times before, but Li Buzhuo recognized Tan Qin. From her tone and expression, it can be seen that she did not lie.
"The human inspector will return to the Heavenly Palace every month to report that you came here unfortunately. The lord left two days ago. If Li Zhanshu has an urgent matter, I can pass on the letter to my lord on his behalf." Tan Qin said.
“No need.”
Li Buzhuo said goodbye to Tan Qin and left Guanyi.
After killing ten horse bandits in Baibeasts, he asked the villagers to deal with the burying the body. Li Buzhuo came to Hedong County without stopping. He had read the files before and knew that although the population in the village was only more than 120, more than 70% of them were middle-aged men who practice martial arts and shooting. He was alone, although he was a qi-refining man in the upper realm, he was also afraid of bows and crossbows.
At present, Hedong County dared to borrow a team of county soldiers to attack the village before Baizhanzhuang Village received the news. At that time, as long as the owner of the manor and other evil people were captured, the people of Baizhanzhuang Village would disperse and the crisis in Jiuwenzi Village would be resolved immediately.
Since Bu Donghua was not here, he had to ask Cao Yan for someone. Li Buzhuo left the post station and came to Lingguanya.
In Lingguanya, Li Buzhuo saw Cao Yan and said that a bandit in the village had robbed and killed people.
Cao Yan said in surprise: "It turns out to be Li Zhanshu? I will go to Mao for many days. I thought you were in seclusion and practice. Why did you come to ask someone to suppress the bandits when you come?"
"Mr. Cao only needs to borrow ten elite soldiers. In one day, I will return them all. At that time, I will not take any of the money and the achievements of suppressing bandits in the village." Li Buzhuo said.
"This is a bit reckless." Cao Yan rubbed his forehead and sighed, "You said they killed two villagers, both of whom died at your hands. In my opinion, this matter will be put on hold for the time being. As long as the villagers do not spread the news, there will be no crisis for the time being."
"Is Lord Cao joking?" Li Buzhuo said, "Before the second head of Baibeasts, the second head of Baibeasts, had already found out the details of the winery clearly. Even the annual profits must have made a comprehensive plan in advance. If they do not return to Baibeasts, unless the head of Baibeasts, they will definitely suspect that Jiuwenzi Village will be in the mind."
"This..." Cao Yan hesitated for a moment, "This matter is still to be discussed. Let's do it. I will send Zhou Jie to the village first. After checking the bodies of those people, you will discuss with me about the bandit suppression. If you don't think about it, this matter is not something I can trust you. It was Mr. Bu who told me before leaving. After he left, he would have to consider any movement in the county and make sure it is correct before he can decide. Although I am a spiritual official in the county, I can do so as to how much I can get from the Heavenly Palace. This necessary process is still necessary. Otherwise, once the missed child comes again and the blame comes from the superiors, I will not be able to bear the responsibility anymore, and you will not be able to bear it."
"If Lord Cao believes in me, why should I send a coroner to check the body? When I go back and forth a few more times, the Baibeasts' Manor will be killed at the door."
Li Buzhuo snorted in his nose. He had been in Hedong County for so long, and had seen through Cao Yan's character. The life creed of this Hedong County spiritual official is to push it if you can, and avoid it when you should. The most longing for is to retire safely without being responsibilities, which is smoother than loaches.
Seeing that Li Buzhuo's face was not good, Cao Yan shook his head and sighed: "I was not intentionally shirking the responsibility. Do you know why the remnants of the previous dynasty suddenly stopped in this period? That's because before Lord Bu left, he arranged the county's troops to deploy defenses. Not to mention ten people, even if only five people are needed, the defense will be missed. Then it will be the time for the dragon bird to cause chaos. You are asking for people at this moment, which is really embarrassing me."
"If ten people don't do it, then five people." Li Buzhuo stretched out five fingers and spoke in a decisive tone. "But these five people must be elites who can wear heavy armor, otherwise they will not be able to stop the crossbow. Five people will follow me and scoop up the formation for me. I will conquer the Hundred Beasts Manor tomorrow! Lord Cao still refused. Could it be that he wanted to cover up the bandits?"
"Oh, I..."
Cao Yan hesitated and said such heavy words by Li Buzhuo without any hesitation, but he had no official power, but he was the most difficult thing to deal with if he didn't get into the soft and hard way.
At this time, someone outside the door said, "Li Zhanshu, can't you hear what the lord mean? The twenty elite soldiers who were ambushed outside the refining department were wiped out because of the news you got from nowhere. Before this matter was cleaned up, you actually came to ask for someone again?"
Cao Yan's eyes moved and he shouted, "Is it right? Come in quickly."
As soon as the people outside came in, it was Zuo Gongcao Yao Shunzhi.
"I'm not clean?" Li Buzhuo smiled and looked at Cao Yan, "What does Lord Cao mean?"
"Don't think about it, don't misunderstand it. I have made an appointment with Shunzhi to discuss matters long ago, but it was not targeted at you. After all, I don't know that you will suddenly come here today. Shunzhi's words are indeed too much. You two have old grudges, so I don't want to worry about this matter. But let's put aside this level and talk about it. It's really up to you to ask for people. Of course, you can send someone to suppress the bandits, but the same sentence is still the case, and you have to wait for confirmation." Cao Yan said earnestly.
Unlike Yao Shunzhi, Cao Yan and Li Buzhuo have no grudges, and can see Li Buzhuo's potential, and do not suspect that Li Buzhuo has a different intention.
However, now the Dragon Bird has been at peace for a long time, and it is obvious that some kind of subtle balance has been reached between the Heavenly Palace and the Dragon Bird. Half a month later, it is approaching that he will retire and return home. At the critical moment of Bu Donghua's departure, he dare not make any moves to break the balance.
"This is what Lord Cao means." Yao Shunzhi walked in the door and looked at Li Buzhuo: "If you really send troops to you, you will probably be the only one who survives tomorrow. The county will not only lose its elite troops, but also the layout left by the Lord of the Human Inspection Commission will also be disrupted. This is your intention!"
"My intention?" Li Buzhuo picked up a wolf pen on the table and played with it in his hand, and said lightly: "I have ulterior motives. Why do I want to use the list I found out if I have been wanted outside the county?"
Silent for a moment.
Li Buzhuo suddenly waved his hand, and the wolf pen in his hand turned into a gray shadow, shooting directly into Yao Shun's face!
As a county gongcao, Yao Shunzhi was also a Qi-refining man in the siege. He felt that his murderous intention was coming. When he realized that he wanted to hide, the wolf's pen had already brushed his cheek and flew over, and shot the pillar outside the door, leaving no handle.
When he came to his senses, Yao Shunzhi burst into a cold sweat, and his heart was cold. With the simple move just now, he could see that Li Buzhuo made several moves faster than him. If he started, he would definitely not be his opponent.
"If I have intentions, you will not be alive now."
Li Buzhuo looked at Yao Shun and walked out the door.
Cao Yan was afraid of taking responsibility, so Yao Shunzhi made a fuss. He thought too much about sending troops in the county.
