Keep red beans and ask Qinghuan

Chapter 62 Conscription


Ouyang Qing kicked the man and said, "Get lost, don't let me see you again, or..."

The man turned and ran, not even daring to look back.

Ouyang Qing wiped his face carefully with a handkerchief, wiping off the blood on his face.

Looking up at the horse, he frowned.

On the second day, Ouyang washed his face and patted the plaster on his body carefully, then led the horse and strolled to the gate of the city.

As expected, he was stopped, and the guarded soldier frowned and looked at Ouyang Qing, and scolded: "What are you doing!"

Ouyang Qing looked at the soldiers and said, "I heard that they are enlisting in the army. I also want to contribute to the country." Ouyang Qing's voice had become hoarse and deep. Put the poison and spit it out quickly, so that the poison only destroys the throat part.Although her body was slightly poisoned, but because she didn't swallow much, she recovered after a few days.

The soldier looked Ouyang Qing up and down, frowned and said, "Go in!"

Ouyang Qing led the horse and strolled in.

Go southwest as the man said.

The life of the people in the city is completely different from the outside. It looks rich and peaceful. There are stalls selling goods, and the streets are bustling with men, women and children. A city wall separates two worlds.

Ouyang Qing frowned. When he saw the recruitment banner, there was already a long queue in front of him. It seemed that most of them were refugees who came to seek refuge outside to recruit soldiers.

When they arrived at Ouyang Qing, the inspecting soldier in front looked at Ouyang Qing carefully, frowned and said, "You are only twelve or thirteen years old, what can you do with such a small body?"

Ouyang Qing said: "I'm already fifteen or sixteen years old. My body is like this because my family is poor and malnourished. I believe I'll get better soon after I'm in the army. Besides, I brought a horse. It should be helpful to some of the army. usefulness."

The man looked at the horse behind Ouyang Qing, then at Ouyang Qing, and said with a sneer, "I don't know how you, with your small body, stole other people's horses."

Ouyang Qing was about to speak, but the man waved his hand and said: "Okay, it doesn't matter, we are a military camp here, not a government office. There is a shortage of horses in the army. It doesn't matter how you got here. Just sign the form and go in."

Ouyang Qing nodded quickly, then hesitated: "I still have an old mother at home, can you let me go back and talk about it."

The man waved his hand, signaling Ouyang Qing to go back quickly.

Ouyang Qing nodded quickly, and then led the horse away.

I went to a tailor shop first, and bought a suit of clothes under the slightly disgusted eyes of the shop owner.

Then I went for a stroll to the yamen. On the top of the yamen door was "Integrity and Justice" and "Bai Sun Qing Tian" stood under the door.

Ouyang Qing glanced blankly, then raised his hand and beat the drum. After dozens of beats, someone ran to open the door.

The insider glanced sideways at Ouyang Qing, frowned and said: "Today rest, come back tomorrow."

Ouyang Qing raised his hand, motioned the man to look at her palm, and said: "This is the signboard of Marquis Anyang, Marquis Anyang was ordered by the emperor to come down to observe the people's sentiments."

The man hurriedly opened the door, then ran over to examine it carefully, and handed it back with trembling hands: "Please come in! Please come in! I don't know if you are here, so I am far away to welcome you."

Ouyang Qing glanced at the yamen servant beside him and said, "Where's your county magistrate?"

The yamen servant was sweating profusely from the top of his head, and said: "The county magistrate checked the files yesterday, and he was really sleepy until midnight. He just rested. Please wait a moment, my lord. I'll go and call our county magistrate to pick him up."

Ouyang Qing was not polite, so he directly sat in the upper seat, facing north and south, without any feeling of treating himself as a guest.

The yamen servant didn't dare to say anything, poured a cup of tea in a panic, and went down to find the magistrate.

The magistrate of that county was sleeping with his lover in his arms, when he heard that the Marquis of Anyang sent someone to inspect him privately, he was startled.After hiding the small treasury and settling down the lover, he ran here in disheveled clothes.

When he saw Ouyang Qing, he knelt down and said, "I don't know if my lord is coming, I'm too far away to welcome you, damn it!" Then he raised his hand and slapped himself twice.

Ouyang Qing gently put the teacup on the table, looked around the house and said, "Did I come to the yamen, or to the theater? Why is there someone acting for me in front of me?"

Hearing this, the magistrate of the county felt that the visitor was not kind, and quickly recalled what he had done, and his forehead was covered with sweat. "This... how can this be a play, I sincerely welcome you, sir."

"Then you probably really want to lose your job."

When the county magistrate heard the words, the sweat on his forehead grew even more, and he said tremblingly, "I don't know what your lord means?"

"Hmph! What do I mean! You collude with the conscription, shut out the fleeing victims, and then force young men to join the army! Do you know what crime this is!"

"This……"

"The old and the weak, women and children are left unattended outside, and the corpses are everywhere! If I report this matter to the Holy Majesty, you will punish you for an undetectable crime and take off your black gauze hat, okay?"

The county magistrate hastily kowtowed and said, "It's impossible, there's nothing you can do about it! It's been so peaceful for so many years, who wants to enlist in the army, those victims of the disaster are better than starving to death outside."

"Men can be recruited, but what about old and weak women and children! Are you starving to death outside?! If you don't want to take care of it, then find someone else to take care of it!"

"Take care, I will definitely take care of it. I will order the opening of the warehouse to release the grain now."

"Conscription can be discussed. When opening the warehouse to release food, tell all the conscripts that if someone in the family enlists, they will enjoy additional military subsidies."

"This……"

"Hmph! You think I'm easy to talk to. If it wasn't for the fact that your city is well governed, I wouldn't be considered a corrupt official. I would have taken the sword given to me by the emperor and cut off your head! Now...you still Want to bargain with me?"

The county magistrate quickly shook his head and said tremblingly: "This subordinate dare not, this subordinate dare not."

Ouyang Qing stood up and said: "You just pretend that I have never been here, but I will live in the city for a few days. If you have a little bad sitting, I don't have to report it to the court. I will take care of your little life." Accepted."

The county magistrate was so frightened that he didn't even dare to lift his head, and said repeatedly: "It must be."

"Okay, don't be so scared. If you do a good job, I will definitely report it to the Holy Majesty and reward you."

"Don't dare, don't dare."

"The Marquis of Anyang sent me to make an unannounced visit this time to examine the sentiments of the people, and I hope you keep your mouth shut and don't talk nonsense. Remember, people can live a long life by talking less. Talk more and make mistakes."

The county magistrate nodded quickly, and when he was about to look up, he found that the person in front of him was gone.

He was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat again, and quickly said: "Go and find the master! Also inform the people below to open the warehouse to release the grain!"
