"I've seen this general," the young official said when he came to the yamen gate and happened to bump into Liu Zhizu who was leading the troops in. He bowed and saluted.

"Who are you?" Liu Zhizu was impressed by the talented young man in front of him, so he asked.

"The humble position is that of Xu Ze, the head of the household in Xia County."

"Xu Ze?" Liu Zhizu muttered silently, as if he wanted to remember this person, "Xu Ze, is there anyone else in this yamen?" Liu Zhizu looked at the tall bulging door in front of him.

"There are just some rotten wood people in there, it's not worth bothering with them." Xu Ze disdainfully described his former colleagues as rotten wood.

Liu Zhizu laughed loudly, "Okay, if that's the case, then we won't go in. Qin Yuming, you take people to arrest everyone inside."

"Yes" Qin Yuming accepted the order and left.

"Do you know where the Xia County treasury is?" Liu Zhizu turned to Xu Ze and asked.

"As a humble person, I know it."

"Okay, lead the way." Liu Zhizu waved his hand and led the army out of the county government office again.

Many officials in the lobby originally heard the commotion outside, and finally made up their minds to go out and surrender. Unfortunately, as soon as they walked out of the door, they encountered a red-faced man with a group of iron troops who surrounded them and detained them without any explanation.

.

They were a step too late after all, but unfortunately this step was a huge difference for them.

The treasury is not far from the county government office. When Xu Ze arrived with Liu Zhizu and the others, the place was already occupied by another group of unidentified gangsters. There has never been a shortage of daring people these days, occupying a small mansion.

Ku, how dare you ask for an equal division of Xia County with the Pei family army.

However, Liu Zhizu obviously would not satisfy their wishful thinking. No nonsense, Liu Zhizu immediately ordered the entire army to line up, with spearmen in the center, and sword and shield soldiers to guard both sides, to launch an attack.

These gangsters obviously didn't expect that Pei Jiajun was so tough and didn't even have room for negotiation. We're asking for a high price, so you can pay us back on the spot. Do you want to be so violent?

However, these gangsters still have some courage. Seeing the opponents coming up in neat rows, they are not thinking about other things. They are also holding knives, and they are rushing towards them.

However, it is obvious that these gangsters do not understand the difference between fighting in rivers and lakes and war in the army. The Pei family's army formed a tight square formation, like a rock in the stormy sea. No matter how strong the wind is and how high the waves are, they cannot shake it at all.

.

The gangsters surrounded the Pei family's army and fought for a long time. They didn't kill anyone, but they killed eight or nine of their own men. Seeing that the situation was not good, the leader shouted: "The wind is tight!"

When the besieging gangsters heard this, they abandoned their opponents and chose to flee one after another as if they had been granted amnesty. As the saying goes, it is disrespectful to come back without reciprocating, how could Liu Zhizu allow them to escape so easily?

A group of people had already detoured behind the treasury, directly blocking the gangsters' escape route, and creating a trap for these gangsters who were not only high-end and high-end, but also trapped in a jar.

When the bandit leader saw that his retreat was blocked, he became fierce and shouted: "Follow me, let's rush out. Kill!"

After saying that, he rushed forward. When he reached the front of the military formation, he jumped up suddenly and stepped hard on the wall on one side with his right foot. With this strength, he jumped directly over the first row of soldiers and flew into the formation.

middle.

A nine-ringed broadsword flew up and down, dancing like a watertight sword, killing several soldiers in a row, causing chaos in the military formation.

However, after all, the Pei family's army has been trained for a long time. Since the army was launched in Peijiazhuang, it has experienced several wars in Taixiao. This time, it is about to capture Xia County, and its morale is at its peak. It didn't take long for it to stabilize, and the decline was restored little by little.

"Big Brother", "Dad"

Seeing that the bandit leader was unable to hold on any longer, the remaining defeated soldiers behind him turned pale with fright, shouting that they were about to rush in and fight to the death with the Pei family's army.

"Come on, leave me alone." Seeing that his brother and son were coming to save him, the bandit leader in the formation was both happy and angry. "Old Jiu, take Tao'er away and leave me alone. If it's too late, none of you will be able to leave."

"Dad, if I don't leave, we will die together." The gangster named Tao'er struggled and tried to fight his way into the formation.

"Old Jiu, take Tao'er away quickly." The bandit leader was extremely angry with his son and was about to teach him a lesson. At this moment, a spear pierced his lower abdomen. The bandit leader held on to the spear with a smile on his face.

The blood fell drop by drop, and I used my last strength to shout "Tao'er, run!"

"Dad" the gangster named Taoer wanted to do something else, but he was forcibly pulled away by the middle-aged man beside him.

The war gradually subsided, and slowly, the night returned to its original silence.

Liu Zhizu inspected the treasury and ordered the treasury to be temporarily sealed. No one was allowed to enter or exit. At the same time, he sent someone to report to Pei Xiaoer. The overall situation was decided.

When the messenger found Pei Xiaoer, he was talking to the captured Mr. Zhao, "Executive member Zhao, I am a rough man. Please don't mind if I said something wrong."

"I don't dare. I don't know what the general wants to ask. I will definitely tell you everything." Mr. Zhao's attitude was very low.

"I wonder what your surname is, Mr. Zhao? How old is your birthday this year?" Pei Xiaoer seemed to have chosen his name casually.

"My surname is Zhao and my name is Huaiyu. Thanks to God's blessing, I am already sixty-seven this year." Zhao Huaiyu stroked his beard and seemed quite content, but then he thought of something and his attitude returned to respect.

"Mr. Zhao has passed the age of hearing, but he doesn't know why he got involved in this mortal world? Isn't it good to take care of himself at home?" Pei Xiaoer said, seemingly intentionally but also unintentionally.

Zhao Huaiyu hesitated for a long time as to whether this sentence was good or not, but couldn't say anything. When Pei Xiaoer saw this, he didn't want to push him too much. He happened to see the ordering soldier coming, so he changed his question and asked about the ordering soldier.

Zhao Huaiyu breathed a long sigh of relief and wiped the sweat on his forehead without anyone noticing.

"Report, General, Mr. Liu has occupied the county government office and the treasury."

"Okay, Liu Zhizu did a good job, come and tell me the detailed process." Pei Xiaoer clapped his hands and praised, and pulled the messenger to tell him the specific situation.

At this moment, Zhang Zhiyuan's messenger also arrived.

Zhang Zhiyuan was responsible for seizing the remaining city gates, but when he arrived, the defenders near the city gates had already opened the gates and fled. He could only close the city gates again, send a few teams of troops to garrison, and return to resume his duties.

"Okay, the overall situation has been decided, let's go to the county government office." Pei Xiaoer smiled and ordered the guard beside him. After walking for a few steps, he seemed to have thought of something, turned around and said to Pei Xiaosan beside him: "Xiaosan, take Master Zhao back.

Well, tell him that I will host a banquet at the county government office the day after tomorrow for the city's gentry, and ask him to inform me on my behalf."

"Okay" Pei Xiaosan accepted the order. Pei Xiaosan is now the captain of Pei Xiaoer's personal soldiers. Firstly, this position is extremely important and requires a trustworthy person. Secondly, there is no suitable opportunity.

"General, don't worry, I will definitely notify the city's wealthy gentry to come to the banquet." Zhao Huaiyu has a very good ear. He can hear so far at such an old age.
