The best ring

Chapter 268: Troublemakers

"How are the refugees outside the city feeling now?" Magistrate Guo asked.

Magistrate Guo knew about the existence of refugees outside the city, and he personally ordered the city gates to be closed. He could not allow those refugees to enter the city and destroy the "stable and peaceful" atmosphere in the city.

In fact, many people in the city knew that there were a large number of refugees outside the city, and they were also worried. Magistrate Guo's simple and crude approach could not really calm the hearts of the residents in the city. However, he did not know the hearts of the people in the city. He governs the county based on his own feelings rather than actual conditions.

"Their emotions are quite stable. The previous attack on the city gate has not happened again recently." The master replied.

"Humph, a bunch of unruly people! If you don't show them how powerful they are, they really don't know how high the sky is!" Magistrate Guo said with a cold snort.

"However, there were very few things to eat outside the city. Now, people there starve to death every day." The master said softly.

"A group of beggars are just unruly people. They will be clean after death." Magistrate Guo said nonchalantly.

Although those refugees did not attack the city gate again, they were blocked outside the city every day. Magistrate Guo was also upset. In his heart, he wished that all the refugees would starve to death. Only in this way would his Qingyuan County be clean and return to its past. of peace and tranquility.

When Magistrate Guo thought about it, he had done his best to them by not sending out troops to clear out the refugees, and they should be grateful to him.

"Yes, it's not a pity to die for a group of unruly people." The master agreed: "However, my subordinates heard that Baron Wu's people have been recruiting refugees there recently and have taken away two to three hundred people."

"Baron Wu?" Magistrate Guo was slightly startled.

"That's Wu Fan, who was just made a baron not long ago." The master reminded him in a low voice.

"Is it him? Why did he recruit those refugees? Does he think his family has too much food? Or does he have some evil intentions?" Magistrate Guo frowned.

In Magistrate Guo's heart, Qingyuan County belongs to him, and no one can shake his rule here. Ever since a baron appeared in his territory, Magistrate Guo has felt like he has a lump in his throat and is very uncomfortable. Now that he hears Wu Fan actually recruited a large number of refugees, so he would inevitably have other ideas.

Especially in this special period when rebels are rampant, does Wu Fan want to rebel?

Thinking of this situation, Magistrate Guo was both excited and nervous.

If Wu Fan rebels and he can put it down, it will naturally be a good achievement, and it can even promote him to one or two ranks, and he will naturally be excited.

However, he had never led troops or fought in a war before, so he was still very nervous when encountering something like rebellion.

"Probably not." The master denied Magistrate Guo's speculation: "He took all the refugees out of the county and went to the Hermit Village. After all, he is a baron and can form a private army. Moreover, His Majesty has previously ordered that all the people Villages and towns form their own militia. You should know the situation in Hermit Village. There are not many people there. If you want to form a militia, you naturally have to find people from outside. "

"That's it." County Magistrate Guo felt both lucky and regretful in his heart: "Then don't worry about it. It would be better if he takes all the people away, so as to save those unruly people from blocking the outside of the city and making people feel heartbroken when they see them. ”

County Magistrate Guo didn't want to see those refugees in the first place, which was not good for his image as an official. There were so many refugees around the county under his rule. Doesn't this mean that he was not good at governing?

He doesn't want to let all those people into the county. In his opinion, these are unstable factors, and they have to be raised by him after entering the city. He doesn't do this loss-making business, so he has been doing it recently. I was worried about how to deal with those refugees, and even thought about whether to take advantage of a dark and windy night to completely eliminate them.

Now that Wu Fan is willing to accept them, that would be the best.

"Yes, sir." Master nodded.

"What's the situation with that rebel army?" Magistrate Guo asked.

"I don't know where they fled." The master said, "But don't worry, sir, the gates of our county are tightly closed. Those rebels cannot break into the county. It is absolutely safe here."

"Well, don't be careless. Strengthen the defense in the city and don't let those rebels take advantage of the loopholes." Magistrate Guo said.

County Magistrate Guo indeed had never thought about clearing out the rebel army. In his opinion, that was what the army should do and had nothing to do with him as the county magistrate. He only had to manage Qingyuan County well. As for suppressing bandits, let's leave it to the army.

Therefore, County Magistrate Guo only strengthened the defense of the county town and had no plans to take the initiative. He did not believe that the rebel army had the strength to attack the county town, so he did not have too many worries.

As for the situation in the villages and towns below, that is not something he needs to worry about. The villages and towns are full of mud-legged people, some lower-class people, and it will not matter if some of them die. Anyway, there are rebel forces everywhere now, as long as they are in the county seat If there is no problem on the side, then no matter how many casualties there are in the villages and towns below, the adults above will not blame themselves. They can even use this opportunity to attack the military generals. It is precisely because of their unfavorable performance in suppressing bandits that led to The rebellion was rampant and many villages and towns were destroyed.

This is a good opportunity for their civil servant group to launch an attack.

"There is another very important thing!" Magistrate Guo said: "The fifth day of next month is the birthday of His Majesty's favorite seventh princess. We have to prepare a generous gift."

The seventh princess of Yanfeng, Zhao Qi, is the most beloved princess of His Majesty the Emperor, no one else!

As we all know, the old emperor is not very satisfied with several princes, so that he has not yet established the position of the crown prince, but it is well known that he loves the seventh princess Zhao Qi. Next month is the 18th birthday of the seventh princess Zhao Qi. Although His Majesty has not said anything, all officials are preparing gifts to present to the princess as a gift.

Generally speaking, a woman is considered an adult at the age of 15 and can get married. However, the seventh princess will be 18 years old next month, but she is still waiting to be married and has not been betrothed to anyone. If she is not married at this age, in ordinary families, she is an old girl, and there may be rumors.

However, the seventh princess is different. His Majesty loves her very much. The seventh princess does not want to get married, and the old emperor does not force her. Moreover, the old emperor is reluctant to marry the seventh princess. With the status of the seventh princess and the love of the old emperor, let alone 18 years old, even if she is 28 years old, no one dares to say anything if she does not get married.
