Chapter 123 No one can trust

The light snow, which had been falling for several days, finally stopped on the afternoon of the 28th day of the 12th lunar month. The ash clouds in the sky dissipated, revealing a dazzling but not much warm sunshine.

County Magistrate Jia finally gave away all the things he could deliver, and asked a few bribed yamen runners to help deliver them to some faraway places. He was really not in the mood to do this.

Of course, those yamen runners who delivered things would not say that they were given by the county magistrate, but to the people who received the things they were from Zhangjiazhuang. That's right, they were from Zhangjiazhuang, but the people who received the things they thought they were from Zhangjiazhuang.

"Come here, go out with me." County Magistrate Jia, who was restless, put on a casual outfit and carried a package. He didn't know what was in it, shouted to the yamen runners guarding the yamen.

Song Yang brought two bribed yamen runners here today, and things had been arranged long ago. When Magistrate Jia returned from Tuqiao Village, someone sent a letter to him. Except for himself, no other yamen runners knew what was written in the letter.

After reading the letter, County Magistrate Jia became even more excited and nervous. Until he saw that the letter turned into ashes and turned into dust, he looked at the yamen runners outside the car vigilantly.

Today is the time for him to take action. To be precise, tomorrow, he has to go to a place first. At the junction of Huayuan County and Sanshui County, someone has found a helper for him. He did something in the yamen yesterday and did it secretly, and he had never told his family.

"Sir, where are you going?" Song Yang asked respectfully when the car was ready.

County Magistrate Jia did not tell Song Yang where to go, looked around and asked Song Yang, "Have you arranged the things you asked you to arrange?"

"Don't worry, sir, it's already arranged. Brothers are waiting on the road, but which one should sir do on those roads?" Song Yang replied.

County Magistrate Jia smiled mysteriously, "You will know then, let's go."

After speaking, County Magistrate Jia got on the car and walked out under the escort of three yamen runners in Songyang. He followed a small road toward the location of Tuqiao Village.

The car is not going fast, so in order to get more roads, the one who pulls the cart is replaced by a donkey, so you don’t have to worry about freezing the horse on the way.

After walking out for an hour, County Magistrate Jia picked up the curtain and ordered a yamen runner outside: "You should hurry back now and stay outside the yamen. When someone asks me about me, I will say I will go out to visit the people."

The yamen runner agreed and turned around and left.

The car went forward again, waiting for another half an hour, and County Magistrate Jia once again ordered another yamen runner, "You go back now and summon all the yamen runners, not only you twenty people, but also others, let someone use a fast horse to report to the yamen runners in Tuqiao Village.

Waiting for everyone to arrive, it's almost midnight. Go to Xiao Luoshui Wharf and surround the wharf with my master. Something happened there. I will wait for you there at that time. In the future, the weather in Sanshui County will be different."

The yamen runner was about to leave, and Song Yang advised from the side: "Sir, there are only the young and the older ones left here. You should go back first and find more staff."

"Well? Song Yang, you must believe that Sanshui County is stable and no one will hurt me. Go." County Magistrate Jia looked at Song Yang in the car, and said with a meaningful grace, waved his hand, and let the yamen runner leave.

After doing all this, County Magistrate Jia continued to ask Song Yang to drive the car forward. This time he urged him to speed up. This time, County Magistrate Jia picked up the curtain from time to time and looked out, waiting to reach a small slope with two big trees next to it. County Magistrate Jia stopped the car again.

This time he walked out of the car, looked at Song Yang with a puzzled look and asked with a smile: "Song Yang, tell me, can I trust you?"

"Sir, what do you mean? The young one is loyal to the adults. As long as you give instructions, even those with small swords and fires dare to break through." Song Yang patted his chest with a firm expression and promised.

The smile on County Magistrate Jia's face became even more intense. He took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Song Yang, saying to Song Yang: "Since that's the case, you immediately take this letter to Tuqiao Village, the courtyard where the Han family is staying in Shuiyun, hand it to him, and then follow his arrangements. If you want to hurry, it depends entirely on this whether this official can gain a foothold in Sanshui County."

Song Yang took the letter, looked around, then looked at County Magistrate Jia, and said, "Sir, no, you ask the younger one to go, what should I do here?"

"I drove the car back by myself, don't worry, I brought something out, look." County Magistrate Jia took out a hat from his big package and a wide thick hemp dress, which looked a little worn.

"I put on this dress and drove the car slowly back. You have to go there quickly. Unfortunately, there is no horse. You can see where there are horses around you. Find them first. It's better than you walking around. When you get this done, I will never treat you badly. Go quickly."

As he spoke, County Magistrate Jia put on his hat and put the clothes outside. He reached the place where he drove the car and walked forward with the car. He did not forget to look back at Song Yang.

Song Yang stood there for a moment and shouted to the car that had not gone back: "Don't worry, the younger one must deliver the letter as fast as possible, so take care of yourself."

After saying this, Song Yang looked around and chose a road without a road and walked over the snow.

After dozens of breaths, the donkey cart stopped. County Magistrate Jia jumped out of the car, looked at Song Yang's departure and stared at it until Song Yang's figure could no longer be seen. Then he returned to the car, opened the package, put away the hat and wide clothes.

He then took out a thin linen outfit, broke his hair apart, changed his head shape again, and after doing all this, County Magistrate Jia lifted the curtain of the car, looked at the place where Song Yang left, then stuck his head out, looked back, and then pushed open the car door, then closed it, and then pushed the switch.

After repeating this five times, the cold wind kept pouring into the car, and County Magistrate Jia stopped and waited.

After a while, four figures appeared on the hillside. Three of them stood there and looked around. One of them ran over quickly. When they arrived at the car door, they opened the car door and got in.

"Sir, go down quickly, leave here to the younger one." The man got into the car and said to the Magistrate Jia. At the same time, he took the hat and clothes from Magistrate Jia and put them on quickly. His figure was similar to Magistrate Jia.

County Magistrate Jia nodded, without saying a word, got out of the car, glanced around, trotted up the small earth slope, gathered with the three alert people, and went down from the other side.

The people in the car also came out and got to the rushing position, and still rushed forward. The wheels left deep marks in the snow. After walking out for dozens of feet, the donkey pulling the car felt that the car seemed to be lighter and walked faster. A gust of wind swept over, and there were two traces on the snow that seemed to be deliberately messing with others.

County Magistrate Jia went down from the slope and immediately got into another car. There were three same cars parked here. Even if the horses pulling the cart were not close, they couldn't see clearly. One of the cars was driven towards the yamen, and the other turned around, went up the slope first, and then followed the car that County Magistrate Jia himself had driven before.

The car that the county magistrate Jia was riding was waiting for a while and boarded another small road. The people driving the car seemed a little anxious. They kept whipping their whips, and three horses pulled the car and ran quickly.

Song Yang walked to a farmhouse. Seeing that there was no livestock to ride here, he had to run to another place and to the next to a house. Song Yang looked around and saw that no one took out the letter in his arms, opened it and looked carefully.

I saw it said, "The waterway is blocked, and the person coming should bypass the direction of Xinping County. The county yamen runners have been sent to Xiao Luoshui by me. After two days, come quickly."

When Song Yang saw these words, he was shocked. Judging from the situation, County Magistrate Jia was about to find someone from outside to deal with Xiao Luoshui. After thinking about it, Song Yang was unsure of his mind and knew that there was a small village in front of him with more than 70 people and horses inside. Song Yang held the letter and ran towards him desperately.

"Sir, have you done the things in the yamen? You must know that if you lack that thing, you will have less support when you act tomorrow."

County Magistrate Jia was riding the car and driving it out to Erli Road, someone who had been waiting for a long time on the road got into the car and said to County Magistrate Jia.

County Magistrate Jia knew that this was sent by the Yuan family and nodded, "Don't worry, it was done last night and asked my boy to carry it with him, so there would be no mistakes. This time, I think what else can he say in Zhangjiazhuang?"

"That's great. Sir, can the yamen runners really gather at Xiao Luoshui? Then they are transferred together?" The man relaxed a little when he heard the words of County Magistrate Jia and asked about the yamen runners again.

County Magistrate Jia smiled and said, "It doesn't matter whether they gather or not. Even if I don't let them gather, someone will help me, and then go to Xinping County to guard it. This is the plan to attack the east and lure the tiger away from the mountain."

"Sir, I am very awesome. My master only asked him to help transfer the yamen runners away, but he didn't expect that he would come up with such an unpredictable strategy. After the lord succeeds, we will be a family." The man flattered him next to him.

County Magistrate Jia was really relieved at this moment. He opened the package, took out his official uniform and seal from it, and after putting it on, he said to the man: "How are you doing with you?"

"When I say that, it's almost done. But in the villages of Zhang and Wang families, the merchants built houses there, and I don't know why?" The man said, and couldn't help but frown.
