It was afternoon, and the rain stopped. Although the streets were a little muddy, it could not affect the noise among the people at all. Maoxian also ushered in the most lively day since its construction. People all over the city gathered to have dinner and eat and drink.

At the beginning, these ordinary people were a little restrained, and their eyes were wide open when they saw big fish and meat. These good things that only eat during festivals are now placed in front of them to enjoy their appetites, and they are all rushing to be taken first.

The restaurants in the city were brought in and the meals were opened to several streets around the county magistrate's mansion. The people tasted refreshing, but the people were not so restrained after the crowds, as if they were treating guests.

This made the gentry in the city suffer, and they all paid for the cattle and sheep, but they spent a lot of money. However, they could still accept eating such a little bit of food, because they were afraid that these vampires would even eat and take them back.

"Who is the head of Huo family, why don't you invite all the brothers to the table?"

The older gentry didn't move when they saw Huo Bing and the bandits, but just watched the people eat. The gentry was a little nervous, fearing that these bandits would let the people eat the dead head rice.

"Call the commander." Huo Bing said dissatisfied.

"Yes, Commander Huo, why... brothers don't come to the seat?"

Huo Bingyi said righteously: "Our commander has a order, no one can disturb the people. You gentry are not the people? So, yes, we only eat the dry food we bring."

The gentry looked at each other in shock, and they all looked at each other. They had never heard of the bandits entering the city, not robbing and looting, but instead invited the people to dinner. Although the gentry was the one who treated them.

"How much money did you spend?" Huo Bing asked suddenly.

The older gentry said respectfully: "You can't spend much money. As long as you are satisfied with the commander, the people will have a happy meal."

"How can you make money? There are a few boxes of gold, silver and jewelry in it. It seems that the bastard county magistrate who was originally named Sun got it from corruption and abuse of power. You deduct a little of the cost of this meal and share the rest for the people."

The gentry heard this and was filled with an uproar. These bandits were not just joking, right? They knew exactly what Sun Yi was like. Sun Yi must have accumulated a lot of wealth over the years. After seeing the big boxes and small boxes carried out by the bandits, this speculation also confirmed. So many gold, silver and jewelry, but these bandits were not moved and wanted to send them all to the people?

This is a big deal. If these bandits were just talking, it would be fine if the gentry who represented Mao County to receive these bandits. At most, they would be complimented and humble, and let them take it away. Finally, they would have to deal with it. Even if the matter was solved successfully. But now they don’t want money. Do they want to attract a group of people to be robbers on the mountain? The bandits who want people are the most unprovoked.

"Please take back Cheng's life. These are all the money from the government, so how dare the people take it?"

"Why don't you dare to accept it? I'm still from the government." Huo Bing was excited and almost exposed his identity. Fortunately, he pulled his clothes behind him even after he was rescued by life and disaster. Huo Bing then remembered Liu Yu's instructions and said, "It's okay, aren't there just a few boxes of silver? If you don't bring it to death, our commander doesn't care about this thing."

The older gentleman asked with a bitter face, "What... what does the commander need? A woman, or a brother?"

"Woman, brother?" Huo Bing thought for a while, "How can I know what the commander wants? Don't talk nonsense. Let the people finish eating quickly and divide the things, so we can leave!"

The older gentry was still worried and asked again: "Then Commander Huo, don't do anything before you leave? Or... you have anything to take away, you can speak."

"I said to me, old man. Do you think I'm not satisfied if I don't steal something from you? Let me tell you, the commander has an order, and I'm not allowed to bully you. On weekdays, I hate you, the arrogant and domineering masters and officials the most. I used to be bullied by you..."

Huo Bing remembered the rolling eyes when he was a gangster, and the man became ferocious. He was swaying and clawed. Lian Husheng quickly pulled him and said politely: "Except for this old man, don't worry, we are just going to the city this time. Apart from burning the food in the city, we will not take or take anything else, and will not harm the people!"

Huo Bing had a ruffian spirit and spoke very violently, which made these gentry very worried. But when he heard this humanistic Zou Zou Ke say politely, the big rock in his heart immediately fell.

The older gentry immediately greeted the people and calmed them down. After a while, the people remembered that the group of bandits who were treating people today were murderous bandits. They immediately looked at the direction of the gate of the county magistrate's mansion, and did not dare to breathe.

"Friends, these two... are the two leaders, called the army commander. They not only invite the people to come for a banquet, but also distribute the money from County Magistrate Sun to the people. They have not thanked these heroes!"

The people whispered one by one, and couldn't understand why these bandits were so polite. A few of them bowed and thanked twice, and there was no movement behind them.

"After eating, come and get the money, and put a handprint after you get it. People, let's eat it first." Huo Bing didn't know what to say, and waved to the people with a smile.

The people were still frightened, and Huo Bing looked at the older gentry with some confusion. The older gentry said, "You don't know, after you leave, County Magistrate Sun will definitely take back the money twice as much as possible."

"Who said we were going to let that person named Sun? The person named Sun was corrupt and abused the law. If the commander had not stipulated that the surrendered prisoners could not be killed, I would have killed him first!" Huo Bing said with a fist.

"Then the court sent other officials to come, it's still the same."

"This..." Huo Bing was a little embarrassed and immediately said relieved, "The commander also explained that if you are afraid of King Jing's revenge, you can rule by yourself and guard the city and decide on the final decision. The people will vote for the big matter... It's roughly what it means."

The gentry was shocked again. He had never heard of such a county town that dared to leave the court and play "autonomous" by themselves.

"Don't worry, the court will come to accept the county town in the future. Maybe I will come to visit you later." Huo Bing finally added.

The gentry did not dare to speak more. These bandits were not only strong, but also had a straightforward manner in their words and affairs. Many things they said were something they did not dare to think about. But since the Army Commander Huo had an order to distribute money, these gentry did not dare to disobey, so they had to count the money and prepare to distribute it according to the household registration list of Maoxian.

Next, the bandits fulfilled their promise, not attending the table or disturbing the people. They just took out dry food and started eating it. Faced with such a group of disciplined bandits, the gentry had a lot to say, but now they didn't dare to say it.

"Captain, Commander, it's not good. We caught a spy and found a letter from him!"

A guard handed over a paper seal.

Huo Bing looked at it and found that there was no word he recognized on it. He quickly called Lian Husheng to read it.

"The above said that King Huai sent 5,000 cavalry to assist in transporting grain and suppressing bandits, and asked the surrounding counties and counties to assist. Calculate the time, I will pass by Mao County tomorrow."

Huo Bingmei smiled and said, "It's a good one, it's a good one. I'm worried about an opponent who has no signs. Now there are those who come to your door."

Lian Husheng said in surprise: "Captain Huo, you don't plan to let our two armies fight against the 5,000 regular cavalrymen, right? Do you need to notify the commander in advance?"
