I'm Actually The Big Villain In The Book

Chapter 87 I am good at suppressing bandits

the next day.

Because of the tossing all night last night, Liang Zhen decided to spend an extra day in Zhongling County.

Wei Changtian didn't care about this, and after getting up in the morning, he ran around the county town and didn't prepare to return to the inn until lunch.

Sitting in the carriage, he looked at the scar on Zhang San's face, and asked boredly:

"Zhang San, what did you do before?"

The members of the Freemasonry are all from the pending prisoners of Dali Temple, so Zhang San must have been charged with crimes before.

"My lord, are you asking about all the things I've committed? Or just those written on the file?" Zhang San asked without changing his face.

"Yo? It sounds like you've committed a lot of things."

Wei Changtian suddenly became interested: "Tell me everything!"

"yes."

Zhang San nodded, and after recalling for a moment, he began to "confess" one by one: "Young master, the first time I committed a crime was when I was ten years old. Because there was a bully in the village who robbed my family of two ducks, I quietly slaughtered his family's three ducks." Cattle……"

"The second time was when I was eleven."

After half an hour.

"...The thirty-sixth time I committed a crime was at the age of twenty-five. At that time, I had already reached the seventh rank and joined a small gang..."

"You stop first!"

Wei Changtian was overwhelmed and interrupted Zhang San's rambling: "How many of these things are recorded in your file?"

"None."

"What?"

Wei Changtian was taken aback: "Then what crime were you arrested for?"

Zhang San answered truthfully: "There are twelve charges in total, the first one is..."

"Stop, stop! Stop talking!"

Wei Changtian looked this "outlaw lunatic" up and down, and said with emotion: "No wonder your name is Zhang San."

Zhang San showed doubts: "What do you mean by this, young master?"

"It's not interesting... Is Zhang San your real name or a pseudonym?"

"A pseudonym."

"Then what's your real name?"

"Zhang Quandan."

"...I'll continue calling you Zhang San."

Wei Changtian was speechless for a while, and after a while he came back to his senses and changed the subject and asked, "By the way, how do you remember what happened in the past so clearly?"

"Master Hui, the villain can't do anything else, but he has a very good memory."

Zhang San said seriously: "Basically, I can remember clearly everything I see and hear."

Wei Changtian was a little surprised: "Is this true?"

"Don't dare to lie to the young master."

"Then this is quite a skill..."

Wei Changtian dragged his chin and thought for a while, his face gradually became serious.

"Zhang San, although I don't know why Wang Er wants you to follow me, but since I trust him, I trust you too."

"This time we are going to Shuzhou, I may ask you to do a lot of things... Do you know how to do it?"

"Know."

Zhang San immediately replied: "Just do it and don't ask."

"Then what if I tell you something you can't do?" Wei Changtian asked again.

"The villain should do his best."

"wrong."

Wei Changtian shook his head and corrected: "No matter what, if you feel that you can't do it, you should tell me in time, and you must not try your best..."

"And don't make your own claims."

"Don't make too much of a fuss about everything, especially in a place like Shuzhou where you're not familiar with people."

"Big things can only be achieved by being careful, remember?"

Zhang San nodded seriously: "Remember, son."

Wei Changtian glanced at him, then suddenly asked, "What's the first word of the four sentences I said just now?"

"No, also, ordinary, small."

Without any hesitation, Zhang San immediately blurted out word for word.

"good!"

Wei Changtian nodded in satisfaction.

"It does have some ability!"

...

It was noon when the carriage returned to the inn.

Yuan'er has been waiting at the door, saying that the thin county magistrate has come again and set up a table in the inn, and everyone is waiting for him to come back and have a banquet.

As soon as Wei Changtian heard this, he hurried into the lobby. As expected, the dishes were already on the table, and Liang Zhen and the others were drinking tea and chatting while waiting for him to come back.

"Nephew! It's just in time for you to come back, let's go to the table for dinner soon!"

Liang Zhen put down his teacup and said hello, while Wei Changtian hurriedly apologized to everyone with cupped hands: "Everyone, I'm really sorry."

"I didn't know Lord Wang was hosting a banquet before, so I went around the city and came back a bit late."

"Hahaha, it's not too late."

Liang Zhen laughed twice and sat down at the first seat, and asked casually, "How does my nephew feel about Zhongling County?"

"This... the streets are spacious and spotless."

Wei Changtian really had nothing to boast about, so he could only find two random words.

However, these words were a bit sarcastic in the ears of the thin county magistrate.

The people have all run away, isn't the city spacious?

He blushed, lowered his head and cupped his hands and said, "It's my incompetence that made you laugh."

"Master Wang..."

Wei Changtian didn't bother to explain, so he just followed him and comforted him: "You don't have to blame yourself too much, as long as the banditry can be calmed, Zhongling will definitely be prosperous again in the future."

"Borrowing my son's auspicious words..."

The thin county magistrate forced a smile, but anyone could see the bitterness in the smile.

Although they killed a group of bandits yesterday, this was only the tip of the iceberg of banditry in Zhongling County.

The other bandits may not be controlled by monsters behind them, and their actions will not be so extreme, but it is certainly commonplace to enter the village to rob.

So the problem of banditry has not been solved at all.

"father……"

Seeing that the magistrate of Shou County and the people of Zhongling were too pitiful, Liang Qin suddenly suggested, "Why don't you write a letter to the governor of Tanzhou and tell us about Zhongling..."

Tanzhou is not a frontier, so there is no post of commander-in-chief, and the military and political power is concentrated in the hands of the governor.

In terms of rank, the governor of Tanzhou is the third rank of the general army of Shuzhou. If such a letter is really written, the other party will definitely sell his face and send troops to suppress the bandits.

But how could Liang Zhen be willing to owe such a favor for a small Zhongling.

"Hey, Master Feng and I don't know each other. I'm afraid it's inappropriate to write a letter rashly..."

"Father! How do you know that the governor of Tanzhou is named Feng if you don't know him?"

"I……"

Liang Zhen was going crazy, wishing he could gag Liang Qin's mouth.

But at this time, he couldn't get angry again, so he could only speak more plainly: "Qin'er, this is a matter of Tanzhou after all, we are just passing by, so it is not appropriate to interfere indiscriminately."

"Why do you meddle indiscriminately?"

Liang Qin earnestly persuaded: "You can save countless people in Zhongling from fire and water with a single letter. Why don't you do this?"

"This……"

Liang Zhen was stunned by such righteous reasons and was speechless, for a moment he didn't know how to make his own silly girl understand the joint.

Fortunately, Wei Changtian opened his mouth to make a rescue at this time.

"Qin'er, in fact, there is a way to get the state government to send troops to suppress the bandits without uncle Liang writing a letter."

"what?"

Liang Qin hurriedly asked, "Brother Changtian, what else can I do?"

Wei Changtian smiled and said, "That's what I said yesterday, as long as the wealthy businessmen in Zhongling are willing to donate money."

"But……"

Liang Qin glanced at the county magistrate, hesitated and said, "Didn't Mr. Wang say that they don't want to donate money?"

"That was before."

Wei Changtian played with the wine glass, and said softly under everyone's curious eyes: "I have a way to get them to go to the county government office obediently tomorrow morning and offer the money with both hands."

"Young master!"

The thin county magistrate eagerly rushed ahead of Liang Qin and asked, "Dare to ask what is the solution?"

"This matter is very simple, all you need is Master Wang and Uncle Liang to cooperate..."

Wei Changtian smiled, raised his neck and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

"It's just a few unscrupulous people killed."
