The wasteland has been reclaimed for two years. Although there is no particularly good harvest, it is by no means a failure like in previous years. At any rate, there is more or less grain, and the land that originally had an owner will be much better.During the autumn harvest, everyone put a smile on their faces, but who would have expected that the pirates would come again just a few days after the harvest.The beacon fire on the city gate was lit again, and some people beat gongs to inform the people everywhere.Although the people panicked, they packed up their important personal belongings and moved to the nearest hiding houses according to the previous county magistrate's instruction. The elderly and children were in front, the women were in the middle of the team, and the strong men and laborers were at the end. , Some strong men simply took their own kitchen knives for self-defense.As for the two cellars, although they have been built, they have not been put into use for the time being, so each place is still properly placed according to the original arrangement. Jia Zhen took the guide, Gu Su, and the guards to the city wall quickly. rush to.

"Master, there seem to be a lot of pirates this time. I'm afraid there are more than one pirate." Just as Jia Zhen was on the wall, the guard pointed at the pirates who were running towards the wall. "These pirates are like wolves who smell blood." Jia Zhen sneered. In fact, he wanted to say something about vultures or great white sharks, but he changed the word.The pirates came aggressively this time, and they also brought ladders specially used for climbing the city. "Let the arrows go first, and I'll see if they shoot. The rest of the people take knives and prepare to kill people." There are very few arrows and other things stored in the county. This was originally to prevent the county magistrate from forming an army privately with the intention of rebelling. That's why Jia Zhen had such an order.However, the number of people who came to help this time was much higher than last time. They did not come up to the city tower, but only moved wood, bricks, stones and other materials from the back, so that they could be used by the guards and Zhuang Li.

This time the pirate's attack was surprisingly strong, as if they were desperate. "I think they should know that Sheyang has money and food. He has tasted the sweetness before, and this time he wants to plunder and make a fortune." Gu Su looked at the posture and analyzed. "Hmph, they are all people with hands and feet, but they come to do this business. Even if they die, they deserve it. The people in Sheyang don't deserve it and should be robbed by them." Jia Zhen didn't say a word about this. It seemed that even if these pirates were really dead, they didn't deserve sympathy. Instead, he asked the guards to continue to strengthen their vigilance.

Gu Su changed the subject, he didn't sympathize with these pirates, even if he had some unavoidable grievances, he couldn't use them as an excuse for massacring people and robbing others, and said: "This time the officers and soldiers seem to be slow to come. "The guards on the city wall change every half an hour, and now it's about to change for the third round, and the officers and soldiers still haven't arrived yet. "Why, you think we are going to lose." Jia Zhen smiled slightly, and he could see the weirdness.Thinking of these days, Jia Jing wrote letters to him and made several mentions.In fact, Jia Jing has a good relationship with Dongping Prince's Mansion. I know from Dongping County King that Nan'an County King is a little dissatisfied with him. I think it's because of Sheyang and he doesn't have much contact with Nan'an County King. Think carefully about the current situation. If you think about it, you can figure out the doorway.

"Your Excellency is really calm in the face of danger, but it is true if you think about it. No matter what, those officers and soldiers dare not make fun of your life. If you think about it, they should come here in a short time. Your life is much more valuable than ours. "Gu Su was not worried. Although Nan'an County King made a stumbling block, the officials below did not dare to see death without saving them. This is indeed the truth, but I don't know what is going on, and it is more important to deal with the current situation. It seemed to be sarcastic, even Gu Su himself didn't know how to divert it for a while after he finished speaking. "Do you think I should mention it to the Holy One?" Jia Zhen didn't take Gu Su's words. The world is like this, that is, the era he lived in could not achieve equality for everyone, let alone ancient times, when encountering these things It just made him want to do more for the common people while he was rejoicing, otherwise he would be sorry for his identity.Gu Su's mind turned very fast, and he naturally understood that Jia Zhen meant to make the person who did these things unhappy, but although some words were clear in his heart, he couldn't express them, so he said vaguely: "The Holy Majesty has always been sympathetic. The common people will definitely agree with the general."

Jia Zhen smiled and said nothing. What the emperor cared most about, of course, was whether the chair under his buttocks was safe or not. Of course he was extremely happy with such things.However, the two of them didn't focus on this issue for too long, and turned their attention to the situation in front of them.The guards have been trained for a long time, and they are no worse than officers and soldiers, but it is due to the lack of people.Although the performance of the trained strong is not as good as that of the officers and soldiers, it is much better than before.At this time, the officers and soldiers finally arrived late. When they arrived in Sheyang, the chief soldier broke into a cold sweat. Although he obeyed the orders from above, he came to the rescue slowly.But the magistrate of Sheyang County is not easy to mess with. If something happens, he will have to apologize with his head, and he may even take the lives of the whole family, so it is hard to survive for an hour. , He immediately led the officers and soldiers to kill them.Seeing that Jia Zhen was fine, Zongbing finally put his heart in his stomach, and he became more energetic in doing things.

After repelling the pirates, the chief soldier came to see Jia Zhen in person.The general army was first established in the Ming Dynasty. At first, there was no rank. The soldiers under its command, the number of staff, and the ranks were not fixed. Military attache, but this position changed in the Qing Dynasty.And in this time and space, although many official positions come from different dynasties, they generally follow the system of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, Wei Guang, the commander-in-chief in charge of the counties and counties around Sheyang, is the seventh rank, equal to Jia Zhen.Then, Jia Zhen has the title of a third-rank general on her body, so the commander-in-chief should still salute Jia Zhen.

In fact, Wei Guang had something on his mind this time, so he was unavoidably a little guilty, so he paid more attention to etiquette. After all, he came late, and if he didn't explain well, I'm afraid Jia Zhen would blame him. Write a note on the memorial, I am afraid that the hat on his head will be lost.But if he doesn't do this, he won't be able to hang around here in the future.God knows that during the procrastination just now, he almost begged all the gods and Buddhas in the sky, and he was extremely pious. He was afraid that Jia Zhen would have an accident, and finally saw that Jia Zhen was safe and sound, so he was relieved, but the following Things were even more difficult at the end.

Seeing Wei Guang's appearance, Jia Zhen understood Wei Guang's intentions, but she didn't show it on her face, and invited Wei Guang to drink tea with a smile on her face.But Gu Su who was standing on the side suddenly opened his mouth, pretending to be puzzled and said: "Master Chief Soldier, why is it so late this time, is there something that got you in trouble?" Asked by Gu Su, his hands almost trembled, and he hurriedly put down his glass, wanting to apologize. "Master Wei is too polite. Master means, if you have any difficulties, feel free to speak up. My grandfather also led troops on many expeditions, and he has quite a lot of contacts in the army. Maybe he can help Lord Wei a little bit. Mr. Wei has always been conscientious and conscientious, and I see it." Jia Zhen hurriedly got up to stop Wei Guang's movements, and said.

Wei Guang couldn't help crying in his heart, he couldn't afford to offend any of these two, one was the king of Nan'an County, the other was the grandson of Ning Guogong, the current county matriarch, so he had to smile uncomfortably: " This time, I was careless, and I should plead guilty to the general." Jia Zhen smiled slightly, and said: "I think that Mr. Wei should not plead guilty to me, but to the Holy One." The tone suddenly came to the back As soon as he got cold, he flung his sleeves and sat back on his seat. This sudden change of face made Wei Guang at a loss for what to do.It was Gu Su Shiran who came over, knelt down and saluted, "Master General, calm down, people are not sages, and there is nothing wrong with it. Mr. Wei has always been conscientious, and His Majesty appreciates him very much. This time is just an accident." Gu Su Su is talking nonsense with his eyes open. The Holy One has a lot of affairs every day, and there are so many officials in the world. How can he remember a mere Wei Guang, but Gu Su said it very naturally, as if it was true.

"It is precisely because the Holy Majesty appreciates it so much, shouldn't Master Wei plead guilty to the Holy Majesty, fortunately, nothing happened today, but the guards specially sent by the Holy Majesty to protect the princess were injured because of the pirate attack. Tomorrow If it's just another accident." Jia Zhen sneered and said relentlessly.

At this time, Wei Guang was dripping with cold sweat, almost soaking his official uniform, thinking that this matter might not be good. "Boss, please listen to the next sentence." Just now, in order to be more formal and to intimidate Wei Guang, Gu Su called Jia Zhen Master General, but now that the effect of the words has been achieved, it is time to take the next step.Sure enough, as soon as Gu Su changed his name, Wei Guang immediately attracted Wei Guang's attention, and he was busy looking at Jia Zhen who was sitting. "Say." Jia Zhen seemed to hold back her breath and said. "I know that Master Wei is very important to Master Wei, and I often praise Master Wei in private, saying that if Sheyang has not had Lord Wei for many years, I am afraid it will be even worse. Right now, although the pirates are harassing Sheyang, the people have not been harassed. , even those who guarded the city were not injured or injured. Thinking about Mr. Wei's achievements in the past, why don't you—" Gu Su knelt down again and said.

"Bold, this is deceiving the emperor. How can I do such a disloyal thing because I owe the sage Long En?" Jia Zhen was furious, and immediately asked someone to drag Gu Su down, and wanted to beat him.Wei Guang is a person who values ​​righteousness, and he is not a man who seeks fame and fortune. He was so passionate that he gritted his teeth and said, "Everything is due to the negligence of the subordinates. Please, General, please don't blame the master. The subordinates will be guilty of the crime willing to be punished." Jia Zhen seemed stunned by Wei Guang's words, and the servants who were about to drag Gu Su away also stood there motionless.It took Jia Zhen a long time to come back to her senses, she waved the servant away, and couldn't help sighing: "Master Wei is indeed the pillar of the country, he is high-minded and upright, and he doesn't want to drag others down."

Where did Wei Guang dare to speak again, right now he only wanted to save his family's life, so he kept kowtowing. "My lord Wei's responsibility makes me ashamed. My lord Wei, I'm just a newcomer to the officialdom, and I only know how to do things according to the emperor's orders. I really don't dare to be careless if I know the whole world. But today I know one thing, a man should act like Master Wei." Jia Zhen seemed to be shaken, gritted her teeth and said, "It's just that this matter must be reported, and I can't report all of it. I have a way to solve this situation. , but I don’t know what Master Wei thinks?”

"Please, General, give me some advice." Before Wei Guang's heart went up and down, sometimes he felt like he was in a cloud, and sometimes he felt like he was falling into the hell of Abi. Now that Jia Zhen has a solution, he can't care about anything else, just begging Jia Zhen If he can give some pointers, he will be grateful. "The pirates were rampant, and they made a surprise attack on Sheyang. Mr. Wei was sick in bed, but he still got up and led the troops. Although there was a delay, Mr. Wei was brave and good at fighting. He led the officers and soldiers to repel the pirates, and was even stabbed twice." Jia Zhen got up and helped Wei Guang, who was kneeling on the ground, spoke softly. "Your Majesty understands." Wei Guang immediately understood Jia Zhen's meaning and heaved a sigh of relief. This is the best way to say it. Even if the Holy Majesty is angry, it will have the least impact on him. This thank you is a bit more sincere .
