Chapter 17 Setting Fire to the Mountain

Feng Feng and the others asked Xie Ji to walk in front and walk aside by themselves, like a guide.

Xie Ji entered the county government and saw the decorations inside. It was very luxurious. Although the people were much worse than the prime minister's mansion, they were definitely much better than ordinary wealthy families.

"Prime Minister, the county government is simple, please forgive me."

Feng Feng smiled at Xie Ji, who felt his excessive enthusiasm and was a little uncomfortable.

Xie Ji looked at the luxuriously decorated yamen and asked, "The decoration of this county yamen is really different, and I can catch up with my prime minister's mansion."

Xie Ji felt that he just didn't like the person in front of him. The person in front of him was a snake-eyed and mouse-eyed person, and he was obviously not a good person.

Although it is just a malicious speculation, does it take a reason to hate someone?

Feng Feng saw Xie Ji's words and praised him and felt that this arrangement was worth it. However, after a while, he pondered Xie Ji's words, and his smile gradually disappeared. When he looked at Xie Ji who was still smiling in front of him, he felt scared.

So Feng Feng just laughed awkwardly, not knowing what to say, and just say more and make mistakes, so he simply stops talking.

"By the way, how did the thieves in Longhu Mountain do evil?"

Xie Ji returned to the main point, suppressing bandits is the key, and everything else has to be sidelined.

"Prime Minister, those bandits burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil. They often came to the county to harass them and robbed the taxes they handed over to the treasury."

"Yes, yes, those bandits and bandits fought against the government, did evil, frequently disturbed the people, occupied the mountains and became kings, intended to rebel, and acted recklessly, and did not take the county government seriously. They also asked the Prime Minister to uphold justice for us."

The other person echoed Feng Feng's point of view.

"Since that's the case, why not send troops to suppress the bandits?"

Xie Ji asked, if the bandits were not yet in a state of chaos, they would not have reached this point.

Now it was Feng Feng's turn to be embarrassed. He could only bully the bandits and show off his might in front of the people. When it comes to letting him suppress the bandits, he would not have time to avoid it.

"Prime Minister, those bandits have seven or eight thousand people. We are no match for those bandits!"

"Yes, those bandits are holding swords, guns, sticks, and we are helpless in our hands. How can we fight against those people?"

"That's right, those bandits are born with divine power and have extremely strong destructive power. These officers and soldiers are not their opponents, not to mention that the mountain king Wu Pinghuai is even more difficult to deal with. We can't stand it!"

“…”

Discussions were heard everywhere, and the officials said more and more miserable, and various complaints kept hitting Xie Ji's ears.

Xie Ji became more impatient the more he listened.

"Quiet." Xie Ji couldn't stand it and said directly to calm them down.

"So you let those thieves go without paying attention, right? Let him occupy the mountain and be king?"

Xie Ji asked back, shouldn’t these people find ways to solve those thieves? Why are the bandits becoming more and more serious now that they are bandits that cannot be fought against? I think you just don’t want to deal with the thieves.

"This... Prime Minister, it's not that we don't want to eliminate the bandits, but that their power is too strong. Even if we mobilize the officers and soldiers of the entire county government, it will be useless and will give away the heads for nothing."

"Then why didn't you report it?" Xie Ji frowned. These people were obviously shirking responsibility.

"This...this..." After hearing Xie Ji's words, the officials looked a little weird. Didn't you suppress it yourself? Didn't you just count it?

"Prime Minister, this matter should be reported by Hengyang Order."

They dare not show resentment and anger towards Xie Ji now, so they can only put the blame on Xie Ji.

Anyway, Hengyang Order has been dismissed from office, so he can be pushed to his head if something happens.

When Xie Ji heard Hengyang Order, he seemed to remember something and his face looked a little weird, but he would not admit that he had suppressed this matter.

This is done by the original body, not by him.

"Since the bandits have become bigger, the lessons learned in the future is that the most urgent task now is to clean up the bandits."

"Do you have a good idea to suppress bandits?"

When everyone heard this, they said, "A good plan? They didn't even dare to fight against the bandits, so how could they talk about good plans!"

Everyone stammered, looked at each other, and signaled with their eyes. Who would answer?

Xie Ji knew that he was asking for nothing when he saw it.

Seeing that Xie Ji's face was a little bad, Feng Feng smiled and leaned over and said, "Prime Minister, I have an idea, don't you know if it's feasible?"

Xie Ji looked at Feng Feng who was quite confident and was a little suspicious. Is Feng Feng really sure?

Why doesn't he believe it?

"Speak and listen."

Xie Ji said that although he didn't like the person in front of him, he still wanted to hear his opinions.

"Prime Minister, Wu Pinghuai is occupying the mountain on Longhu Mountain and becoming the king. We just need to besiege Longhu Mountain and clear their nests, so that they will surrender."

Feng Feng came up with such an idea.

Why does Xie Ji feel that it is a bit unreliable?

I can't suppress the bandits, so what should I do now? I looked at Wang Xi next to me, as if I had never said a word since I came in just now.

Then he asked Wang Xi: "Deputy Envoy Wang, what do you think should be done?"

Wang Xi said solemnly for a while: "You can make them surrender. If you don't surrender, then set fire to the mountain."

Setting fire to the mountain? Xie Ji looked at Wang Xi again in shock.

This is too cruel. In order to suppress the bandits, the entire mountain was burned.

It is really not done by humans to bury thousands of people in the sea of ​​fire.

No, this is absolutely not possible, Xie Ji would not accept it from the bottom of his heart. This is the same as those executioners, is it still considered human?

"This is how you go and invite General Li Yun."

It is absolutely impossible to ask him to set fire to the mountain, so he might as well think of other solutions.

"No." Wang Xi nodded. He thought setting fire to the mountain was the best way. He buried the bandits in the sea of ​​fire without having to abandon one soldier. Even if the mountain was burned, it would only take a few

It can be recovered in years, and the cost is the smallest.

However, since the Prime Minister does not agree, I will first find General Li Yun.

After seeing Wang Xi leave, Feng Feng said, "The Prime Minister is exhausted, why don't he take a break first? The subordinates have prepared drinks for the Prime Minister, so they can think about countermeasures while having a meal."

This is a good time to curry favor with the prime minister. How could he give up if he is smart?

Xie Ji thought he was tired, so he nodded.

Feng Feng saw Xie Ji nodding, and a stone in his heart finally fell down.

"Prime Minister, this is the bear's paw, but a big black bear that the officials had spent a lot of effort to hunt. The bear meat tastes delicious, especially the bear's paw, which tastes fragrant and makes people feel endless.

It is said that if you put aside fish and take the bear's paw, you can see that the bear's paw tastes delicious."

"And there is this Pixiu. The taste of Pixiu is far better than that of a bear's paw. People who come to the world are sorry for not eating a Pixiu."

"This is a pufferfish. I heard that many people are not afraid of dying for this bite of pufferfish. There was an emperor in the previous dynasty. Before he died, he ended up regretting. The last sentence he said was actually

It's 'I haven't tasted the taste of pufferfish, but I'm sorry for death.' It can be seen that the pufferfish is delicious."

“…”

Xie Ji looked at Feng Feng introducing the delicacies, introducing them with relish.

I was wondering, why does a deputy Yin actually have so many delicious foods, and he has tasted them many times, judging from his appearance?

Could it be that his family has a lot of money to enjoy it?

However, Xie Ji was a little interested in these delicacies, most of which were endangered protected animals from later generations.

Why did it become a protected animal? Xie Ji has reason to believe that the ancients ate these animals.

These animals have become the food on the plate of ancient people. No wonder they will be endangered in the future, but they look so delicious.

The original body actually often eats these jade plate delicacies, but I only learned how delicious these delicacies are through memory, and I have never tasted them myself. I am really looking forward to this.

But I have two villains in my heart, one is eating him. Look at the bear paw. I heard that it is extremely delicious and cannot be eaten in modern times. In ancient times, someone came to my door to open. If I don’t eat it, it would be a pity.

?

Another voice said, "What to eat? That is a protective animal. You still eat it. If you eat it, won't the animal like a bear die?"

Xie Ji looked at the very attractive food, and another aroma came to his face. He looked at the food, thinking that they had been made into delicious food, and they couldn't survive without eating it, so they could just get into their own stomach.

Don't waste it.

So Xie Ji felt it was right.

Xie Ji put a bear paw into his mouth. It was really delicious. I don’t know what words to describe it, just one word, fresh.

No wonder the ancients loved bear paw and regarded eating bear paw as a symbol of power and status. Without a certain identity, they really couldn't eat bear paw.

Bear paw is beautiful, but the person in front of him who treats himself to eat the bear paw still doesn't like him. The purpose of his invitation to eat the bear paw is nothing more than the identity of the prime minister. If he changes his identity, the picture may be different.

"Prime Minister, I am fortunate to be able to see the Prime Minister's appearance this time. It is a blessing for eight lifetimes."

Xie Ji wants to have good fortune in eight lifetimes? You are the only one who can have good fortune in eight lifetimes?

If you want to be flattered, don’t do it so obviously. Even if you treat me to this paw, I will still not let you flatter you.

Xie Ji complained in his heart, anyway, the more he watches Feng Feng, the worse he feels. He looks like the villains on TV, and is still a brainless villain.
