Chapter 334: Trouble in neighboring countries
After listening to the description, Lin Xiaofan looked at Zhao Shan. The latter shook his head slightly and said:
"Based on these points alone, it is impossible to determine whether he is a member of the Chen family. However, I feel that the possibility is unlikely. I have met most of the direct descendants of the Chen family, and none of them meet the requirements. The head of the Chen family is cautious and suspicious, and he should not do it to deal with us. Pass on the skills to the people under your command.”
"Indeed, that sword technique doesn't look like that of the Chen family."
The maid in pink clothes also echoed.
She has fought against members of the Chen family many times and is very familiar with their fighting style.
The Chen family likes to use daggers. The sword is fast and close, making it difficult to find flaws. To deal with them, you either have to use force to break them, or you have to use up your physical strength to expose their flaws. And the third master held a big sword, and most of his fights involved exchanging injuries for injuries, which was completely different from the Chen family's fighting style.
Lin Xiaofan nodded slightly, it didn't look like it was done by the Chen family. In this case, who would benefit the most from destroying the people's livelihood in Qingzhou County?
Shen family? Qing family? Zhang family?
Their only motive is that they don't want to sit back and watch the Zhao family grow bigger and bigger. However, raising rogue bandits in Qingzhou County does not seem to cause much trouble to the Zhao family. On the contrary, after the Zhao family sends people to destroy the rogue bandits, it will make the people of Qingzhou County more dependent on the Zhao family.
Who is that?
Lin Xiaofan thought for a moment, and a possibility suddenly occurred to him.
"Logically speaking, any family with martial arts would not do such a thing!"
Zhao Shan frowned, unable to find the answer.
"Miss Zhao, do you think it's possible that it was done by Daliang and Dachang?"
Lin Xiaofan said.
The two countries dispatched most of their troops to attack Daqian, and finally returned with a disastrous defeat. Now the country is short of troops, morale is low, and it cannot withstand the battle.
Although the Daqian Kingdom did not send troops, who knows if the emperor will change his mind? Once a war is provoked, the two countries will definitely lose a lot of territory, and may be in danger of annihilation.
And they sent people to destroy Qingzhou County. Firstly, the Qingzhou Army could be busy quelling the chaos and had no time to take care of them. Secondly, if the war really started, this group of people could take action to cause destruction behind the scenes. When civil strife breaks out, Daqian will definitely deploy a large number of troops to deal with these bandits.
As for whether the exercises will be leaked, when the two countries are in a national crisis, they don't care so much.
The more Zhao Shan thought about it, the more she felt it was right. From raising rogue bandits in Qingzhou County, these two countries will benefit the most. It's just that this strategy is good and evil.
"Brother Lin, I think it is what the two countries did. With their development speed, it will soon spread throughout Qingzhou County. In this way, I will write a letter to Uncle Zhao Cang and ask him to mobilize manpower to solve this matter as soon as possible."
Since the other party is sincere in causing sabotage, they must resolve the matter as soon as possible.
But there are still more than three hundred bandits. If we take advantage of the terrain, it will be difficult to deal with the bandits with only 200 city guards from the two counties, plus the 200 people under Lin Xiaofan.
In her opinion, it would be best to tell the Zhaocang County Sheriff first and mobilize manpower to catch them all in one go.
"Haha, we haven't gone to trouble them yet, but they actually came to us."
Lin Xiaofan sneered.
But he wasn't too afraid of the group of bandits they had formed temporarily.
Most of them were forced to embark on this path, and there was disunity within them. With just a little bit of coercion and inducement, he could make them fall apart from within.
Moreover, with his 30,000 Qingzhou Army, he was able to compete with the 200,000 coalition forces of the two countries. Now that the numbers are equal, can he still be afraid of this group of bandits?
No matter how powerful those leaders are, in terms of strategy, can they compare to the royal generals of the Liang Kingdom?
"This matter cannot be delayed. The two leaders of this group of bandits are smart and will definitely choose to move tonight. If they hide and do not come forward, it will be difficult to find them."
"What's your name?"
Lin Xiaofan looked at the more talkative bandits and asked.
"Sir, the younger one's name is Liu Shisan."
The rogue hurriedly replied, with a hint of joy in his eyes. It seems that this adult is willing to spare his life.
"I'll give you a chance to make up for your mistakes. Wait until you take people to your lair to investigate the situation. If this is successful, I will exempt you from the death penalty of murder."
Lin Xiaofan said.
Liu Shisan and others were really forced to kill people. If they could make up for their mistakes and save more people from being invaded by rogue bandits, they could be given a lighter sentence.
"Sir, you won't lie to me?"
There was a bit of joy in Liu Shisan's eyes. The moment he was caught, he felt like he was dead. Unexpectedly, Magistrate Lin was so kind and willing to give him a chance to make up for his mistakes.
"I keep my word, but if you dare to trick us..."
"Don't worry, sir. I've long hated those gangsters. If I have a chance to deal with them, it's not too late for me to be happy."
Liu Shisan said quickly.
"Walk."
Lin Xiaofan patted him. In the courtyard, row after row of guards stood upright.
"Sir, there are a total of one hundred and seventy-nine people, excluding those who were injured, they are all here."
Song Shang said.
The moment he caught the prisoner, he knew that with Lin Xiaofan's temperament, he would take action tonight. Therefore, he sent people early to gather manpower.
Lin Xiaofan nodded slightly and said:
"Well done. How are the seriously injured brothers?"
"I brought all the doctors in the town here. Doctor Hua said that several of them can be saved. However, a few of them are seriously injured and may be disabled in the future and unable to fight."
Song Shang looked sad.
"It doesn't matter, I will support them for the rest of my life."
Lin Xiaofan said.
Since these people are following him, he will definitely take responsibility for anything that happens. Otherwise, no one will follow him sincerely in the future.
But when these words reached the ears of the guards, it was different.
In this era when human life is at stake, even if someone is seriously injured on the battlefield, the rescuer will only be given a small amount of money at most, which will not even last a year or two.
If you work under some families, you may not even be given any money, and you will be left to fend for yourself.
But County Magistrate Lin actually said that he would support those seriously injured brothers for the rest of their lives.
Where can you find this kind of treatment in the country?
"Brothers, no matter who of you is seriously injured, you will be treated the same. I will find you a lighter job with the same salary and benefits as being a guard. If someone unfortunately dies in battle, your family will receive two They will receive a compassionate payment of ten taels of silver, and they will also be given a decent job."
Lin Xiaofan glanced at everyone and said.
Hearing this, there was some restlessness among the guards. If he is seriously injured, he will be a useless person that everyone hates. But County Magistrate Lin was willing to recruit them and give them the same wages as before.
After he died in battle, his family could receive a full twenty taels of compassionate compensation. In this day and age, they would never be able to save such money in their lifetime.
At the same time, he also has a decent job. Considering Magistrate Lin's temperament, this job is enough to prevent the family from starving to death.
For a moment, they were even a little impulsive and couldn't wait to fight the bandits. Death in battle is the best, serious injury is not bad either...
