Farmer's Little Girl

Chapter 2895

Where does the village head know which mountain the bandits are on? They can only say: "it's on the nearby mountain. They will go down the mountain to rob things every harvest and Chinese New Year's festival. A few days ago, they came down the mountain again and said that we should give each family five bags of wheat. If there is less, they will kill people."

"We don't have many fields. Five bags of wheat. The family will work in vain for half a year. If the imperial court has to pay taxes, we won't have a grain of wheat left."

Bai Shan asked, "how many times have they been down the mountain? I mean, how many times have you met in your village? "

"Three times!" The village head said, "we only paid taxes after Chongyang last year. Not long ago, they ran down at night and robbed the eight families living at the entrance of the village and at the foot of the mountain. Another time, during the Chinese new year, people came down in the early morning, drove out all the people in the village, and then searched a lot of things."

"This is the last time, but only five of them came down and told us to prepare wheat," the village head said shyly: "the people in the village have eyes and don't know noble people. I don't know if it's the county magistrates. When they see you with knives, they thought it was the mountain bandits who came down, so..."

Bai Shan comforted him and said, "the county knows. No wonder you. Do you know the number of people they went down the mountain twice before?"

The village head thought and said, "the first time I didn't know, it was night, and there were only eight robbed. However, they said that there were about three or four people in one family, all with knives. It was terrible. Later, ah, I was too nervous and didn't count much, but there were at least a hundred people?"

Dong county Lieutenant's face was livid and took the lead in saying, "it's impossible. If there are more than 100 mountain bandits in the county, I won't know at all."

The village head was not sure, so he changed his mouth, "that's 70 or 80 people?"

Bai Shan frowned and asked, "the village head has heard that any other village has been robbed?"

The village head patted his thigh and said, "it's just not."

He said: "these mountain bandits targeted our village for some reason. I asked people in other villages, and they said they didn't find any mountain bandits."

"Does the chief know about it?"

"Yes," he said, "I reported it to the mayor last year. Later, I reported it again when I was robbed in the new year."

He turned his head and said to Dong county captain in embarrassment: "when I was young, I went to the city to find the adult. At that time, I happened to see the adult patrolling the street with the Yamen service. I wanted to go up and avenge..."

Seeing that he stopped talking, Bai Shan picked his eyebrow and asked, "why didn't he come forward?"

After hesitating for a while, the village head had better bite his teeth and say, "it was the chief who found me and pulled me back. He said that he had reported it and the county magistrate in the county yamen was promoted and left. The adults in the Yamen are very busy. Even if we have to do something, we have to come one by one. We may not be able to urge others, but also offend the adults in the county yamen, It must be more difficult in the end. "

County Magistrate Dong jumped to his feet and said, "fart, which county yamen dares to despise such a big event as mountain bandits? Sir, there is a long slander against us. "

Bai shanchong pressed his hand to calm him down.

The village head was startled and reacted, "my Lord, don't you know... Didn't the chief report it?"

Bai Shan didn't come to a direct conclusion, but asked with a smile, "have you reported to the chief officer about the bandits coming down the mountain and asking you to prepare wheat this time?"

The village head nodded, "yes, it's a big deal. How can we not report it?"

"The family has five bags of wheat, and the harvest will be gone for more than half a year. If they come down again after the autumn harvest, we don't even have rice, how can we live?"

It was also because the mountain bandits had a great appetite this time that the villagers were so excited that they ran out directly with hoes and kitchen knives.

Bai Shan said he understood and said to the village head, "the county will make decisions for you. We will live in the village these two days. Don't worry. It's ok if they don't come. If they come, the county will let them have no return."

Whether this is true or false, the village head has a lot of peace of mind.

Bai Shan said, "I think the wheat in your field is ripe. You'd better send someone to harvest the wheat. Stay in the field all the time. When you turn back, it will be wasted."

The village head should go down immediately.

Before, the enthusiasm for harvesting wheat in the village was not high. Because there was a message from the mountain bandits, they didn't think the wheat in the field was their own, so they slowed down, watched them heartache, and didn't want to harvest in the sun.

Now with Bai Shan's promise, the villagers are full of love and pity when they look at the wheat in their own fields. No matter the sun is high at this time, they go home to say hello and directly harvest with a sickle.

The village head also has a lot of land at home. He asked his sons to cut wheat and his daughter-in-law to free up the room.

Man Bao asked the cake to help. Then she assigned a place to Wen Tiandong and said, "go to a free clinic."

It was under a tree not far from the village head's house. There was a shadow at the moment. Many children were playing there. The open space was also large. It was really good.

Wen Tiandong went back to the village head and asked him for a table and some chairs to put there. Then he took the village head's hand and introduced them to the medical department.

The village head doesn't want to hear much. He still wants to go to the county magistrate to inquire about the suppression of bandits.

There are so many mountain bandits. They can't do it alone, so is the army outside the mountain? Shall I call you into the village?

Otherwise, will it be too late for the soldiers to enter the village when the mountain bandits suddenly go down the mountain?

At the same time, he has to calculate the food stored in the village. The soldiers and yamen have to provide this food to suppress the bandits?

I wonder if they eat much?

Although it hurts, the village head also knows that if the mountain bandits are suppressed, today's expenditure will only be once. If they are not suppressed, their village will not have a good life every year.

But Wen Tiandong pulled him so close that the village head couldn't walk away.

Man Bao saw Wen Tiandong holding the village head, turned around and hurried back to Bai Shandao: "there are bandits on the mountain. Are we going to dispatch troops from the county city?"

Bai Shan said, "I'm discussing with county magistrate Dong."

He said, "if there are at least 100 mountain bandits, as the village head said, we need at least 500 soldiers."

Dong Xianwei: "... Sir, the Yamen servants of our county yamen are only 40 people, including the guards you brought."

Bai Shan nodded, "there are two hundred people there, and only two hundred and fifty people count us all."

Dong county Wei said, "do you want to ask for help from Qingzhou City?"

Bai Shan said, "check it out first, but it really needs to be reported to Qingzhou City. Come and study ink."

Daji went to the luggage to find pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Bai Shan said, "in addition, we have to send someone back to the county government to check whether the mountain bandits have really not been reported."

If you don't report it, I'm afraid it has something to do with the chief of the family.
