Chapter 126 Opening the City Gate

Xiushan County is located in a remote area.

Dai Viet has always been at the bottom.

Even a three-year-old child knows that the poorest place in Dai Viet is called Wang Son House, and the poorest county is called Xiushan County.

The three poorest areas in Dai Viet are selected every year, and Wang Son has topped the list for ten consecutive years.

Among them, in Xiushan County, even poor birds are unwilling to fly down and settle down.

The extent of poverty is known to the world.

Magistrate Zhu knew this, and he also knew that being demoted here meant being given up. All these years, people have been enjoying peace and prosperity, and the people are just enjoying themselves, just because no one cares about this place.

Magistrate Zhu shivered as he stood on the city wall. He popped his head out secretly and saw the densely packed Beidi soldiers below. His legs couldn't help but feel weak.

The opponent has excellent weapons, a strong body, and has never been defeated in successive battles.

As for Xiushan Town, because of his lax management, he didn't take it seriously.

Most of the people looked distracted and had a lot of fat on their bodies, and they didn't look like they were fighting!

"My lord, we believe you, my lord."

"Sir... please save our lives. The common people have nothing to repay. I will always be loyal to you in this life. Please save the common people." When the people heard the shouts outside the city gate, their faces turned pale with fear.

Everyone raised their heads with sad expressions on their faces.

What can ordinary people do? They can only place their hope in the court officials and Magistrate Zhu.

I just hope that he can resist the enemy army and reach the city or the reinforcements from His Highness the Crown Prince.

Magistrate Zhu's face darkened, and he glanced disdainfully at the people under him.

"Magistrate Zhu, look who this is?"

"Sir, please save me. Master..." A sharp and harsh voice came, and Magistrate Zhu suddenly raised his head.

I saw a beautiful woman kneeling in the snow.

The woman was dressed in silk and satin, and behind her was a hurried middle-aged woman kneeling.

Suisui suddenly narrowed her eyes.

"Those two people look familiar..." As she said this, she hid the horse in the mountain and led everyone to climb the dog hole into the city.

Everyone rushed towards the city wall.

"I think I saw it in my great-grandmother's bedroom. There was a little person hidden under her pillow. The face of the little person was exactly the same as that of the two women. There were also birth dates written on the back of the portrait. She often hid in the room and stabbed the little person. "Suisui said seriously.

Yanchuan's eyelids twitched, you know so much.

But what surprised him even more was that it was such a coincidence!

"That... is probably the one who stole their money and took away great-grandmother's food..." That middle-aged woman is probably Lin's stepmother.

The young woman kneeling was probably her daughter.

There was also a package thrown underneath, probably gold and silver.

"Last time you cursed them to die a good death. It came true so soon? Have you ever opened your mouth before?" Yan Ming looked shocked.

Suisui coughed lightly and glanced left and right, but didn't look at him.

"Master, please help me. I was caught by them just after I escaped from the city gate. Please help me, master." Lin Rouer was trembling with fear. At this moment, she was not as vicious as the one who stole Old Mrs. Lin's property.

They stole the family's belongings and food, but they didn't even have a chance to survive.

"Master, my wife and the young master were all killed. Please save me, master..." He learned that she was Magistrate Zhu's favorite aunt recently, so he spared her life.

Magistrate Zhu's face turned pale, and the black gauze hat on his head almost fell off.

But the people in the city cried out.

The county magistrate had already moved his family members, but they could not escape.

The magistrate didn't even think about resisting, he had already made preparations.

Lin Rou'er cried sadly, but the little prince lost his patience.

With a wave of his hand, the soldier behind him kicked the middle-aged woman away.

"mother!"

There was a pop.

The woman who betrayed the Lin family was killed on the spot. Lin Rouer's increasingly shrill cries made Magistrate Zhou frown again and again.

A fierce look flashed in Magistrate Zhu's eyes.

"Are you really going to leave me a way out?" Magistrate Zhu's face was gloomy, his eyes full of selfishness and indifference.

There was a cruel smile on the little prince's lips, and the young man behind him gently squeezed his shoulders.

"Of course. Then this little aunt...does the county magistrate still want her? If the county magistrate wants it, I'll give her an arm in exchange."

Lin Rou'er immediately kowtowed on the ground: "Sir, Rou'er is pregnant with you, please help me."

Magistrate Zhu didn't even frown: "I'll just kill my aunt." Pregnant? As long as he is alive, there will be plenty of children!

He could abandon the city and flee, but still care about his aunt?

As long as he is still here, the bloodline of the Zhu family will continue!

The little prince chuckled twice, with a mocking and disdainful tone. He waved his hand and raised the knife.

The two people who had caused countless pain to the Lin family were splashed with blood on the spot.

In this world, you will only be late and never absent.

Magistrate Zhu didn't even frown and immediately stepped off the city wall.

All his belongings were taken out by his relatives, and they were just at Lin Rouer's feet. If he escapes, the big deal will be...

At worst, relying on that pile of money to remain anonymous and become a wealthy and idle person is better than dying here!

"My lord...the city gate cannot be opened."

"They are deliberately trying to humiliate you. As an official of the Dai Viet imperial court, how can they deserve to be knelt down by you? Sir, please think again." Master Wu stopped in front of the county magistrate, his eyes full of determination.

Mr. Wu is a native of Xiushan County and has been the chief bookkeeper there for more than 20 years.

Because he was not as good at pleasing the county magistrate as his master, the magistrate often ignored him.

"Sir, as long as we persist until rescue, we will definitely be able to survive this disaster. There are countless people in the city now, and everyone is looking at you!" Chief Wu almost didn't dare to think.

If Magistrate Zhu comes out of this door, he will kneel down to the barbarian and beg for mercy.

Almost everyone's self-esteem, the entire Dai Viet's self-esteem was trampled to the ground and crushed.

He represents the imperial court official!

In the face of a powerful enemy, everyone's morale, everyone's military spirit, and everyone's hopes will be crushed in one blow!

"You bastard! Are you the county magistrate, or am I the county magistrate?" Magistrate Zhu slapped him in the face.

Master Wu staggered and fell to the ground.

"Are I begging for mercy for myself? I am begging for mercy for Dai Viet and for the people of this city!"

"I'm kneeling down here, is it for myself? Of course I'm begging for the people of the city! How many of us are there? We're only a thousand people, but we're still a mess! Why should we resist fearlessly? I'm here to reduce casualties!"

"I am worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth!"

Magistrate Zhu's words were so righteous that he almost beat his chest so loudly.

Master Wu's face turned red with anger. As an official of the imperial court, he was the hope of all the people! ! How could he destroy the morale of the army in the face of a powerful enemy? He was going to destroy the people of the entire county! !

"You are an official of the imperial court. If Dayue knows about it, you will definitely copy the nine tribes!" Master Wu shouted angrily.

Magistrate Zhu smiled sarcastically. Who could find him out of this door?

"Open the city gate!"
