The Female Officer Became a Farmer After Getting Reborn

Chapter 176 177 Bandits, the dilapidated Qingchuan City Wall

After leaving Xishan Village, they galloped all the way, surpassing everyone in Majiagou. After riding on the road for half a month, they finally arrived at Qingzhou Mansion.

After entering the city, the group first sent Brother Xu Chun to Sihai Bank. The shopkeeper of Sihai Bank in Qingzhou Prefecture was also named Chu, named Chu Jiang.

After seeing the courtesy, shopkeeper Chu said to Zhou Jia: "Master Zhou, there are many bandits in Qingchuan, and you have few manpower. Let the two brothers Xu Chun help you for a while, and then wait for you to sort out everything in the city. It’ll be done when they come back.”

Brother Xu Chun also said: "Yes! Mr. Zhou, there are many bandits in the mountains over there, and you have few manpower, so let us brothers help you for a few more days!"

After hearing this, Zhou Jia cupped his hands gratefully and said, "Thank you, Brother Xu! Thank you, Shopkeeper Chu! It's better to obey orders than to be respectful, but I will have to pay the wages of brothers Xu Chun from now on."

Chu Jiang smiled and said: "Master Zhou, you are so polite. Since you insist on doing this, I will do as you say. I heard that you and your wife are going to Qingchuan, so I asked about the current situation in Qingchuan. The situation is not good. I I have specially prepared a cart of rice and grain for you to take to Qingchuan."

After hearing this, Zhou Jia had no choice but to thank Sihai Bank for treating him so thoughtfully.

At this time, Shen Wu received the news that the two people had arrived in Qingzhou, and came over from the Yamen. When he saw Zhou Jia, he smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou, I haven't congratulated you yet! Congratulations on your title on the gold list!"

Zhou Jia cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Then you have to show it. I am going to Qingchuan to take office. I heard that there are many bandits there. When the time comes, I will have to rely on Brother Shen for help."

Shen Wu said sternly, "Brother Zhou, don't worry. If you need a brother, just let us know. I'll order the food and drinks at the restaurant to take care of you."

Zhou Jia smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Shen."

After resting in Qingzhou Mansion for half a day, Li Yu and Zhou Jia took their people and set off for Qingchuan early the next morning.

When approaching Qingchuan, when the convoy passed through a mountain road, Ruyi, who was at the head of the team, noticed a frightened bird flying in the grass in front of him. Ruyi pulled out his long knife and shouted to Tie Zhu behind him: "Tie Zhu told Xu Chun that there was something strange in the grass in front of him." .”

"Yes." Tiezhu had just passed the news to Xu Chun and the others behind him. Behind the rocks near the cliff, a group of ferocious gangsters wearing short-sleeved clothes of various colors sprang out from the grass. They rushed towards Ruyi with knives and guns. , shouting, "Hand over your property and women, and I will let you pass."

Ruyi threw away the reins, jumped up from the car, and rushed towards the bandits. Before he landed, the long knife swept towards three or four bandits holding machetes. The blade passed across the chests of the bandits, and three The four bandits covered their chests and fell to the ground. Li Yu, who was behind him, held a crossbow in one hand and shot at the bandits rushing toward the carriage. After shooting down several bandits, he threw down the crossbow and jumped from the carriage. He jumped down and slit the throats of two bandits with a knife. Li Yu stepped on the head of one bandit and raised his knife to sweep past the bandits who were rushing towards the car. Wherever the sword passed by, he harvested the mountain. The gangster's life.

Brother Xu Chun held up a long knife, and the sound of the knife piercing his body and the screams echoed throughout the valley.

The long knife in Li Yu's hand was like a meat grinder. Wherever he went, the bandits fell to the ground one after another. Seeing that the situation was not good, the bandit leader shouted wildly: "Retreat, retreat, leave quickly."

Zhou Jia stood on the carriage, pointed his bow at the bandit leader, and shot the bandit in the chest with an arrow. Li Yu shouted to the bandit who turned around and fled towards the mountain, "Where to go!"

The knife in his hand swung faster, and the remaining bandits were chased by Ruyi and Xu Dong and beheaded to the ground.

Mr. Qian looked at the corpses scattered on the ground, his face turned blue with fear, and he murmured, "Too tough, too tough,..."

Yang Wei jumped off the carriage and collected the machetes and spears of the bandits on the ground, not even letting go of the money in his pockets. Zhou Jia pointed at Yang Wei and smiled at Li Yu: "This boy, his actions of searching for money are a bit different from his wife's. Very similar."

Li Yu looked at the bandits gathered together by Ruyi and frowned: "Xiao Xi, we only have five carriages, how can they send out so many people?"

Zhou Jia pondered for a moment and said: "There are no aristocratic families in Qingchuan?"

When Xu Gui, the coachman sent by Sihai Bank to drive the carriage, heard this, he said to Li Yu: "Sir, madam, I heard this when I was in Qingzhou. The bandits in this area always use a large number of people to rob. When this happens, It's easy to succeed, and secondly, if you encounter someone who is trying to steal something, you will have the manpower to fight against it."

Zhou Jia nodded and said, "I see, I thought someone didn't want us to take up our posts in Qingchuan."

Yang Wei carried a bamboo basket of copper coins, broken silver, gems, jades, and a dagger inlaid with gems and placed them in front of Zhou Jia and said, "Master, you see they were all found from those bandits."

Zhou Jia touched Yang Wei's head and said with a smile: "Awei, aren't you afraid?"

Yang Wei puffed out his chest and responded loudly: "Don't be afraid, the dead have nothing to be afraid of."

"You're right, the dead have nothing to be afraid of." Li Yu patted Yang Wei's shoulder, picked up the dagger inlaid with gems and gave it to Yang Wei, "Awei, I'll give you this dagger. Practice with Brother Ruyi." , practice kung fu well so that you can protect yourself and the people you want to protect."

Yang Wei took the dagger, looked at Li Yu and said, "Madam, I will practice well with Brother Ruyi. In the future, I will protect the young master and his wife like Brother Ruyi."

Li Yu touched Yang Wei's head and said with a smile, "Thank you, Awei."

Ruyi, Tiezhu and others found a pit, buried the bandits, and reported to Zhou Jiachen: "Master, there are thirty or forty bandits in total, and one bandit has a green dragon tattoo on his shoulder."

Zhou Jia nodded, "It seems they are bandits from Qinglong Village. After burying them, we can continue on our way."

The group of people drove in the mountains for less than half a month, and finally arrived at Qingchuan County before noon on the second day of August. When they arrived at the city gate, they saw that the walls of Qingchuan City were in dilapidated condition. After looking around, they found that only every city gate remained. One section is still in good condition.

The group of people were dumbfounded. Not to mention the government officials who were guarding the city, they stood at the city gate for a long time and could not even see anyone entering or leaving the city gate.

Mr. Qian shook his cattail leaf fan and looked at the city gate, turning it in a circle and sighing, "Oh! Madam is really right. It's really a place where birds don't shit."

Ruyi and Xiaoyu looked at Zhou Jia and Li Yu worriedly. Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu and smiled awkwardly: "I really didn't expect it to be so shabby! It seems that everyone will have to suffer with me in the future."

Li Yu rolled his eyes and waved his hand: "Let's go! You can't abandon your official position and run away! If you go into the city, there will always be a way."

Ruyi climbed onto the carriage, raised his whip and shouted: "Drive" the horse spread its hooves and ran into Qingchuan City.

After entering the city, I saw dilapidated houses and potholed streets on both sides of the street. In broad daylight, I only saw an occasional pedestrian walking through the street. When someone saw Li Yu and his team, they quickly ran away against the wall.
