Chapter 182 The first problem in the city
Chapter 182 Entering the city, the first problem
Wang Kang's convoy was huge, followed by hundreds of private soldiers from the Earl's Palace. It was so grand that as soon as it entered Xinfeng County, it immediately aroused the attention of the surrounding people.
"What's going on? Another big shot is coming?"
"Our poor place has become a hot commodity. Last month, even the governor and the earl came. Now someone is here again. Is there any iron ore left?"
"This is someone from the Earl's Palace of Fuyang. Look at that flag."
"Hey, look at the back of that motorcade, what's on that car?"
"Ah! It's a human head! A cart full of human heads!"
People around him were talking a lot, all of them were surprised.
"Why do I look at that head on the top, so familiar?"
"That's Shi Feng, the third boss of Qingyakou, who has been to our county."
"Those are bandits. Look, isn't that boy from Wu Lao'er's family? Oh my god, their heads have been chopped off. Something big is going to happen!"
More and more people gathered to watch, especially pointing at the carload of bandit heads behind the convoy.
Wang Kang also got out of the car at this moment. He discovered something different. The people around him were obviously at two extremes in appearance.
Some were well-dressed, and Wang Kang could tell that they were still clothes from his Fuyang cloth shop, while some were shabbily dressed and had a bitter yellow complexion...
Seeming to see Wang Kang's doubts, Luo Bin explained: "Those who look wealthy are all bandits, or some of their families are bandits."
"And those poor people are the real people!"
After hearing this, Wang Kang was shocked and said: "Are people here so upright as bandits?"
Luo Bin nodded, "Xinfeng County also has another name, called Bandit City!"
"I don't know if you have noticed that the location of Xinfeng County is at the junction of three states and is located in Yangzhou."
Luo Bin pointed to the west and said: "Over that mountain is Yongzhou, and to the north is Wanzhou!"
"Surrounded by mountains and inconvenient government management has led to the gathering of mountain bandits in Xinfeng County, which has led to many people here joining the bandits!"
"Has no one cared about it for so many years?" Wang Kang asked doubtfully.
Luo Bin said: "Control? How to control?"
General Zhang Boguang has tried to clear them out several times, but to no avail. The surrounding mountains are their home base, so it is very difficult to clear them out, and many of the bandits here have colluded with the government!"
"A lot of bandits?" Wang Kang heard the voice and asked, "What do you mean?"
"You are right. There are not just one group of bandits gathered here, but many. The three most powerful groups should be Qingyakou, Heifeng Village, and Green Forest Bandits!"
Luo Bin said again: "The ones who attacked our convoy today should be the bandits from Qingyakou!"
It turns out that this is how Wang Kang understood the situation. It seems that the situation is much more serious than he imagined.
"That's why I said before that we wanted to take over Xinfeng County, but I'm afraid it will be very difficult!" Luo Bin said with a solemn expression.
Wang Kang snorted coldly, "The soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it!"
"I don't care what it was like before, but now this is the territory of my Earl's Mansion. I have the final say. Whoever dares to make mistakes will have their heads prepared and made into a Jingjing Temple!"
At this moment, Zhou Qing rode up to Wang Kang and said, "Master, in front of us is the county seat of Xinfeng County. We..."
"Go to the city with a banner and go directly to the county government office. I want to see who this Xu Yun is?" Wang Kang said coldly.
"yes!"
Immediately, all members of the motorcade raised the Earl's Palace flag and entered Xinfeng County in a mighty manner!
Xinfeng County is very dilapidated. The bluestone bricks outside the city wall have peeled off and are very short!
But the city is very big, and most of the ground in the city is land. When the convoy enters, it will cause dust to fly.
There were obviously more people in the city than outside the city. There was a lot of discussion when they saw such a huge convoy, especially when they saw the head count of the car!
At this moment, at the Xinfeng County Government Office, County Magistrate Xu Yun was listening to the report from his subordinates. He was about forty years old, tall and dark-skinned. He looked more like a military general than a civil servant!
"Master Xu, the convoy from the Earl of Fuyang's Palace has entered the city, and their convoy is also pulling a car of people. I recognized a few people, they are people from Qingyakou!"
"What? There is such a thing?" Xu Yun was startled, his face was uncertain, and he asked: "What about Shi Feng?"
"Shi Feng's head is also among them, and it is also placed on the top..."
"Trash, the people in Qingshan Cliff are all trash!" Xu Yun cursed: "I have told them so many times that they must be treated with caution and all members are dispatched!"
"In the end, Shi Feng brought fifty people there. Do you really think that the people in the Earl's Mansion are vegetarians? Now, what's better, they have their heads chopped off and made into human figures!"
"This is a threat to intimidate!" Xu Yun's body was also shaking a little.
"I got the information that this time the Earl of Fuyang came to take over the fiefdom. Wang Dingchang did not come, but his son Wang Kang. He is so ruthless, even more powerful than his father!"
"Then what should we do now? Look at the direction they are going, it's the county government!" the subordinate asked again.
Xu Yun thought for a while and said: "Many of the bandits in Qingyakou are from Xinfeng County, and many of them have been beheaded. You go and notify the families of those people and ask them to stop the car to make trouble!
"
"These people will definitely not give up when their sons and husbands die. I want to see if that Wang Kang still dares to chop off their heads?"
Xu Yun said coldly: "The governor has strictly ordered not to let them take over smoothly. Thinking about my county government, it is not that easy!"
"Okay, I'll get ready right now!" After listening to Xu Yun's instructions, the subordinate turned and left.
It is already difficult for the convoy to move here because there are too many people watching. I am afraid that the entire Xinfeng County people have run out.
"Hey, this is the Earl of Fuyang's Palace who came to take over Xinfeng County!"
"What's the meaning?"
"You don't know yet, but Emperor Zhao's imperial edict was issued the day before yesterday, and Xinfeng County has been granted territory to Uncle Fuyang!"
"So, we are all subjects of the Earl's Mansion?"
"That's fine. Uncle Fuyang claims that one person's wealth is comparable to that of Yangzhou. By following the Earl's Mansion, we will definitely be able to live a good life!"
There was a lot of discussion here, and the convoy was suddenly blocked by someone. A group of people, wearing sackcloth and mourning, burst into tears, "God damn it, my son, you died so miserably!"
"Give me back my husband!"
"Give me back my brother!"
They were the family members of the bandits who were beheaded by Wang Kang, whom Xu Yun had come to find.
At this time, Zhou Qing came over with an anxious face and reported: "The young master's motorcade was blocked by someone, including young and old women, wearing sackcloth and mourning..."
Wang Kang naturally saw this scene, and he did not expect that he would encounter difficulties as soon as he entered Xinfeng County, and it was still like this.
Luo Bin also echoed from the side: "Master Kang, many people in Xinfeng County are entangled with bandits. Such incidents need to be handled with caution, otherwise the obstacles to our taking over Xinfeng County will be even greater!"
