Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

The people from the county government acted quickly. Xiao Tao, Ao Chen, and the others had already ascended the city tower and began to observe.

At the same time, they sent people on horseback to notify everyone on the streets to return home and not to go out.

Because the toll station was unmanned, Jiang Hu's men and horses rushed through the toll station all the way unimpeded, directly to the city gate.

More than a thousand people lined up neatly, without a trace of chaos.

A trace of worry flashed in Xiao Tao's eyes. She had never seen such a battle formation in Taoyuan County for so long.

The last time two hundred people came to attack, she had a bad feeling in her heart. This time, so many people actually came.

And Fang Zheng is not here... She felt a little flustered.

"What is the situation with the people below? Is it related to the last time?"

Ao Chen looked carefully with binoculars and said, "This is a regular army. The weapons they carry are different from the people who came last time. It's hard to say whether there is a relationship."

"In any case, the city gate must not be opened now!" Xiao Tao said.

Ao Chen nodded: "Yes, let's ask first and verify their identity."

As he said that, he shouted loudly towards the outside of the city: "Who is coming?"

Jiang Hu had a smile on his face.

He finally saw the city gate. As long as the city gate was opened, Taoyuan County would be a lamb to be slaughtered, and he could get whatever he wanted!

"I am Jiang Hu, the guerrilla general of the Xiaoyong Camp! In recent days, thieves have been causing trouble near the capital. There is news that the thieves have entered Taoyuan County. This general is ordered to讨贼 (Tǎo zéi - eliminate the thieves), open the city gate immediately! !"

"Do you have proof!?" Ao Chen shouted again.

"Yes! The token and documents are here, send someone to get them!"

A basket began to be lowered from the city wall...

Xiao Tao was so nervous that she asked, "What did you get from interrogating those prisoners yesterday?"

Ao Chen said, "No, it's too short. It should be about the same in two days."

"Didn't even one of the nearly two hundred people confess?"

"Only a few are locked in the prison. Most of them were taken away by the research institute. They said that the animal experiments of penicillin had no problems, and now human trials are needed. Those people were injured, so they were all taken away."

Xiao Tao's face showed anger when she heard this, and she stomped her feet and said, "No rules! Who allowed them to use living people for experiments! Are you all taking the young master's words as a deaf ear? Starting next month, they can forget about getting a penny from the county!"

Wasn't it the master who did the experiments with living people first...

Ao Chen looked embarrassed: "No one in the county dares to come to do experiments. They all say that we are making poison... So... we can only resort to this. We can't waste so much money we invested..."

While speaking, the basket lowered from the city wall had already been taken back.

There was an official document and a token inside.

Ao Chen picked it up and unfolded it, and everyone couldn't help but gather around.

Looking at the content above, Ao Chen murmured: "This seems to be no problem. The Xiaoyong Camp is indeed one of the Jingying (capital army)... Go to the printing workshop and call Old Chen over!"

Xiao Tao said with a cold face: "Since they are here to find those robbers, then pick a few people from the prisoners and throw them down from the city wall to see what their reaction is. You can tell whether they are accomplices or government soldiers at a glance!"

Ao Chen broke out in a cold sweat. Xiao Tao usually looks lively and lovely, but as expected, she has been with the master for a long time. At critical moments, there is a ruthlessness in her bones...

"Let's wait for Old Chen to come and talk about it. No one should be better than him at counterfeiting. He will have the result after a glance."

The people on the city were waiting, and the people under the city were already tired of waiting.

Jiang Hu shouted loudly: "How is it going! Why don't you open the door for this general!"

"General, please wait a moment!" Only this light sentence floated down, and then there was no sound.

However, Jiang Hu was anxious in his heart, but he couldn't do anything about it.

Naturally, he had no confidence in using fake goods. The more he waited, the less confident he became!

The fake seal and token used in this document were made by a craftsman casually found in the city. After it was done, the craftsman was cleaned up.

In case something goes wrong, he can only forcibly attack the city or withdraw....

After a cup of tea, Old Chen from the printing workshop finally came late, panting and rushing to the city tower.

He was already old at more than sixty years old. Obviously, Old Chen couldn't stand the gallop all the way.

Before he could catch his breath, Ao Chen immediately handed over the document: "Old Chen, quickly see if the seal on this is real or fake?"

"Fake." Old Chen only glanced at it and then continued to gasp.

Ao Chen was anxious: "Take a good look! Don't joke, look at the people under the city, they may be bandits or they may be soldiers, if you admit the wrong person, we will get into trouble!"

Old Chen poked his head out and looked at the outside of the city, a little surprised, then turned back and said seriously: "It must be fake!"

He snatched the document, pointed to the red seal on it and began to point out: "I have made so many fakes for the county for so many years, you can't trust me!"

"Although there are many styles of official seals in the world, there are actually only four craftsmen who engrave them! I have long been familiar with the styles of these four people, do I still need to take a closer look? At first glance, this is a shoddy product that can't be more fake!"

"The royal engravers have extremely superb skills. One knife goes in, one knife comes back, never procrastinating. The horizontal and vertical lines are well-organized, and the whole thing is natural!"

"Look at this seal again, the knife is cut in all directions, regardless of direction, and the strokes are slightly messy, and the knife skills are not sound enough. The person who engraved this seal seems to have been shaking his hands when engraving, obviously it is a shoddy inferior product made in a hurry!"

The crowd looked at each other, their faces sinking.

Ao Chen handed over the token again and said, "What about this token?"

"This is even more fake! You see that the pattern on the token is raised, but the word is concave, obviously it was changed from another brand." Old Chen took the token and bit it in his mouth, and laughed: "Hey, it's pure gold!"

Xiao Tao quickly took back the gold medal and put it in her sleeve: "This is an important property of the county! Old Chen, thank you for your hard work."

Old Chen smacked his lips, seemingly recalling the taste of pure gold...

Ao Chen stretched his head again to look at the crowd below, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

"Again and again, you want to rob our Taoyuan County, you really have the courage of a bear and a leopard."

"Call all the artillery over! And get some explosive packs!"

Xiao Tao was surprised: "Are you going to use the artillery?"

Ao Chen said seriously: "That's right, our people here are definitely stronger than them in quality, but they don't have as many people as them. It is inevitable that there will be casualties in a fight. In order to avoid casualties, let the artillery go directly! It has been put away for so many years, and we will really not have much left after we use up this stock this time...."

After the artillery weapons were in place, Ao Chen shouted: "General! Please wait a little longer, I will send someone to open the city gate immediately, you can line up in advance now."

Speaking of lining up in advance, several people in Jiang Hu's team swayed, and a bad feeling suddenly surged in their hearts.

However, Jiang Hu did show a complacent smile.

Soon, soon, after entering the city, he can do whatever he wants!

Before he could think about it, in the next second, Jiang Hu suddenly heard a cracking sound in his ears.

He suddenly raised his head and looked at the city wall,

He was shocked to see that a row of stone slabs near the top of the city wall were cracked! Obviously, the person standing behind had smashed them with a hammer.

Is the inside of this city wall hollow?

But... what is that short, thick black tube?
