Before Sikong Ji came to Hansai City, he heard from Xiao Zhaoxue that the prefect Jiang in Hansai was also a good prefect who actively and bravely fought against the water bandits, so after the chaos in the city, he immediately wanted to come and see Jiang. What is the performance of the prefect?
As a result, as soon as he arrived on the roof of the government office, he heard such miserable cries, and his face sank slightly.
At this time, Magistrate Jiang was still in the government office, and he didn¡¯t look like a good official who rushed forward bravely.
He made a gesture and pressed it lightly, signaling Qingbai and Chilan to hide themselves and see what the situation was first.
Next, a somewhat stern male voice sounded, probably scolding the woman.
"As the prefect of Hansai City, I am an official for the local parents. The whole city is full of people under my jurisdiction. If one of them died, it was all due to my negligence. If the whole city was killed, my death would not be enough to apologize. Just Just now, when I heard that water bandits were sneaking into the South Water Channel, I should have gone out immediately. Do you want to drag me with the threat of death to make me a sinner for the ages?"
In the yard, a man in official uniform was walking out, while a woman was holding his thigh tightly. Even after he was dragged to the ground, she still didn't let go. She held his thigh tightly and wouldn't let go.
The man was cruel and took her two steps forward, as if he was dragging her.
There was a maid and a maid in the back, both watching this scene with tears in their eyes, standing there at a loss and not knowing what to do.
"But you are already injured. You obviously only learned a few moves of Three-Legged Cat Kung Fu in the academy when you were young, and learned horse riding and archery for a year. However, you lied to them and said that you also knew martial arts. Every time you wanted to rush there in person. Go forward, if it weren't for the heart armor I gave you, you would have been stabbed in the heart by a sword and died from death!"
Mrs. Jiang was shouting and crying, her voice a little hoarse.
"Isn't it okay in the end?" Magistrate Jiang still felt a little guilty when he heard her talking about the heart armor she gave him. If it hadn't been for the heart armor, he would have really died last time.
"You were very lucky in the past. You were so lucky that I was particularly surprised. You were obviously just a person who knew the Three-Legged Cat Kung Fu, but you rushed to the front every time, and you were able to narrowly avoid danger every time. But sir, your recent Didn't you realize that your good luck has run out?" Mrs. Jiang cried again.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Really! You fell off your horse last time, and there was a big bump on the back of your head. Before you could rush in front of the water bandits last time, a deflected arrow hit your shoulder. Just now you When I was about to go out, I tripped over the threshold and fell. This is not a good sign. If you go out today, something will probably happen to you. I will never let anything happen to you! For the sake of the people of Hansai City, you must also You have to save your life so that you can lead them to fight against the water bandits again in the future. If you die and there is a new prefect who is as cowardly as a rat and does not act well, what do you want them to do?"
In such a call, the previous few words, Jiang Zhifu disagreed, what wrestling tripped, isn't it all coincidence? Did he stumble because he was too anxious to get out? Why do you say it so wickedly?
But the next few words still spoke to his heart.
He is well aware of the situation here in Hansai City. If he were replaced by another prefect, he would not be able to hold on for half a year. If he had not died here, he might have tried his best to abandon this place and escape, otherwise he might have colluded with the water bandits. , this will definitely bring suffering to the people of Hansai City.
¡°It¡¯s not like he hasn¡¯t had contact with water bandits before. Those water bandits have their own purposes. They have always wanted to force Hansai City to actively pay tribute to them, and even send some girls there from time to time.
Recently, they have even planned to move into the city and find a resettlement place for them in the city.
How can those people live in it? If they live in the city, won't the people in the city be more like living in dire straits and never be able to live in peace for a day?
Mr. Xiao and Young Master Xiao have tried hard to persuade him to stay in Hansai City no matter what.
He is willing to stay, but what if he dies in the battle?
Magistrate Jiang closed his eyes, sighed heavily, squatted down, and opened Madam's fingers one by one with his own hands, with a sigh in his voice, "I know, Madam, I know all this, but Every time the water bandits attack, I can only worry about this one time, I can't think about the future. If I shrink back every time thinking about the future, what's the difference between me and the new officials who may take over Hansai City in the future?"
He is no longer Magistrate Jiang. What difference does it make if someone is replaced here or not?
His words made Mrs. Jiang freeze. She did not hug Magistrate Jiang's thigh anymore. She just sat on the ground and looked at him blankly, tears gushing out incessantly.
Magistrate Jiang helped her up, patted the dust on her skirt, and looked at her intently, "Madam, I know you have suffered a lot to give up the beautiful environment in Beijing and follow me to Hansai City. This Once you retreat from the water bandits, I will send you and your child back to Beijing. Your father-in-law and mother-in-law feel sorry for you and will definitely take good care of you and your child."
"My lord, what are you talking about?" Mrs. Jiang covered her mouth and cried uncontrollably, but Magistrate Jiang had already turned around and strode outside the government office.
Sikong Ji on the roof made another gesture and followed out with Qingbai and Chilan.
There was already a group of officers and soldiers waiting outside, fully armed. When they saw Magistrate Jiang coming out, one of them immediately handed over a sword, "Sir, your sword."
Magistrate Jiang took the sword and said, "Go to the South Waterway!"
"yes!"
As expected, Magistrate Jiang was at the front, and the group rushed forward.
Along the way, people ran towards us from time to time. Some were carrying burdens, some were holding children, some were carrying baskets, some fell while running, and some children were squeezed to the ground and started crying. .
The city is indeed in chaos.
There were many shops and houses around where doors and windows were being banged shut in a hurry, and shouts were heard from inside the house. Some people couldn't run anymore and went to shoot at the nearest door, "Let me in - "
"Dad! Mom! Where are you?" Some separated children cried out in fear.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Behind, there was the sound of horse hooves chasing after them, the sound was fast and furious.
Someone had already seen the man on the horse, and his face changed with horror, "It's the water bandits! Why do they have horses?"
"Where did the horse come from?"
Yes, where did the horse come from?
"These water bandits sneaked into the South Waterway, so they had to swim in, and horses can't enter the underground waterway. After they came up, where did the horses come from?
The water bandits are already fierce, but they also have horses. Isn¡¯t this even more powerful? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
