Deal with Liang Shanpo?
After Lei Heng and He Tao heard this, they immediately looked at each other.
Zhou Kang's gaze swept over the two of them and asked in a deep voice,"If I gather all the soldiers and constables in Jeju City and let the two of you lead them to attack Liangshan Lake, what are your chances of winning?”
Hearing this, the two of them were stunned at the same time.
Lei Heng said bitterly,"Magistrate, it's not that we don't want to work hard. It's just that the quality of the soldiers in Jeju City is far inferior to the soldiers in Liang Mountain!"”
"Marquis Zhu Yu and I suffered a crushing defeat because of those people!”
"The Liang Stronghold people had just started charging, and they were already crying and shouting!”
"If you let this humble servant and Arrester He lead those people to attack Liangshan Lake, the final result will only be that you will have to spend another sum of ransom!”
Zhou Kang let out a long sigh and said unwillingly,"Is there really no way?"
He Tao and Lei Heng looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time!
After Liang Shan Po changed its master, its momentum was like the sun at noon!
Now that Zhu Tong had been captured and Lei Heng was seriously injured, there was no one in the government office who could beat him up!
How were they supposed to exterminate the bandits?
"Zhizhou, are you going to personally take action?" He Tao asked tentatively.”
Zhou Kang almost jumped up when he heard this!
"I am the prefect of Jeju City. I have to guard the rear. How can I personally fight?”
He Tao nodded repeatedly. But now that Marquis Lei Yu is heavily injured and Marquis Zhu Yu has been captured, how are we going to exterminate the bandits?”
Zhou Kang rolled his eyes and said unhappily,"Wouldn't there be someone to redeem Zhu Tong and the others?”
The two of them were stunned.
Lei Heng hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he still braced himself and said,"Magistrate, it's not that I want to boost others 'morale and diminish my own prestige!”
"In the battle at White Tiger Mountain today, I and Marquis Zhu Yu did our best!”
"Even if you can redeem Marquis Zhu Yu, we are no match for them!”
"Hmph!" Zhou Kang snorted coldly.”
"Sir, do you have other experts under you?" He Tao asked curiously.”
Zhou Kang shook his head and sighed helplessly.""If only there was. I wouldn't have to spend so much money!”
"Then how do you plan to exterminate the bandits, sir?" Lei Heng asked curiously.”
"Suppress bandits?" Zhou Kang frowned. Why do I have to exterminate the bandits?"
Hearing this, Lei Heng and He Tao looked at each other.
"Didn't you just say that you wouldn't allow Marshal Tong to lead troops?" He Tao asked. If they did not exterminate Liang Shanpo, how would they explain this to the officials and the Bureau of Military Affairs?”
"Foolish!"
"The order from the officials is to suppress the bandits!" Zhou Kang scolded. Let me ask you, if there are no bandits in Liangshan Lake, will the government still exterminate them?”
"Then we naturally won't exterminate them!" The two of them shook their heads at the same time." Since there are no more bandits, what's the point of exterminating them?”
"But Sir, how do you plan to make Liang Mountain Lake free of bandits?" Lei Heng asked hesitantly.”
He Tao was also puzzled. Based on my understanding of Lord Lin, he shouldn't be that easy to talk to, right?”
Lei Heng nodded repeatedly.
The scene of Lin Yuan cutting the flesh on Chen Hai's neck with a smile had frightened him!
If they wanted to persuade Lin Yuan to move, the difficulty might be even greater than directly annihilating Liang Shanpo!
Zhou Kang did not answer but talked about another matter.
"I heard that the people of Liangshan Lake exterminated the bandits of White Tiger Mountain and even built a capital temple at the foot of the mountain.”
The two of them nodded at the same time.”
Zhou Kang stroked his beard and said,"Do you think that Lin Yuan is willing to sell these heads?”
He Tao thought for a moment and nodded."It's really possible!"
"Liangshan Park built the Jingguan to intimidate the officials and the people of the Green Forest!”
"Now that our goal has been achieved, the people of Liangshan will definitely get rid of those heads!”
"The weather is hot now. After the corpse decays, it is very likely to breed a plague!”
"Lord Lin is well-read. He definitely understands this logic!”
Zhou Kang nodded in satisfaction.
He asked again,"To go further, if I'm willing to spend money, is Lin Yuan willing to help me put on a show?”
"Sir, you mean…" Lei Heng suddenly reacted.
Zhou Kang smiled mysteriously,"If I recruit Liang Shan Po, won't there be no bandits on Liang Shan?"”
"Without the bandits in Liangshan, wouldn't Marshal Tong have no reason to send troops?”
"As long as those heads are here, my contribution to exterminating the bandits of White Tiger Mountain will be real!”
"Once these two great merits are reported, the Ministry of Revenue will be embarrassed to ask for the 100,000 silver back, right?”
"With money, I can redeem Marquis Zhu Yu and the others!”
"Report another death in the line of duty to County Lieutenant Chen, and his pension will be paid out of the military budget. The government will have one less expense!”
"During the year-end evaluation, I only need to give you a few pointers and at least give you a top-notch evaluation!”
As soon as he said this, Lei Heng and He Tao's eyes widened.
You can even play like this?
"Sir, if the imperial court finds out, the consequences will be unimaginable!" Lei Heng reminded.”
Zhou Kang waved his hand nonchalantly.
"This official has been in Jeju Prefecture for a few years.”
"After this year's assessment, I will be promoted to the capital!”
"So, I just need to make sure Liang Shanpo doesn't cause any trouble before the year-end evaluation!”
"What if Liang Shanpo starts to cause trouble again after you leave?" Lei Heng was flabbergasted.”
Zhou Kang stroked his beard and smiled smugly.""That's because the next magistrate did not do his job well, what does that have to do with me?”
Lei Heng and He Tao looked at each other and fell silent at the same time.
Zhou Kang's gaze swept over the two of them.
"I know that you are good friends with Zhu Tong!"”
"So I'll pay for his ransom this time!”
"Moreover, I will not hold you responsible for your defeat and capture!”
"You are smart people, you should know what to do, right?”
Lei Heng and He Tao sighed in their hearts at the same time, then nodded silently.
When Zhou Kang saw this, he immediately smiled in satisfaction.
He admitted that Lin Yuan was indeed talented!
However, when it came to official methods, Lin Yuan was still very inexperienced!
Zhou Kang stood up and said to Lei Heng,"Marquis Lei Yu, you should rest first. We still need you to handle the rest!”
Lei Heng nodded.
Just as he was about to speak, he saw a security guard walk in quickly.
"Magistrate, there are two Yu marquises outside the government office!”
Zhou Kang was stunned for a moment and asked curiously,"Where did Yu Hou come from?"”
"They claim to be the subordinates of Minister Liang of Hebei's Daming Prefecture!"”
Hearing this, Zhou Kang suddenly stood up!
"So you're Grand Preceptor Cai's son-in-law.”
The security officer left with the order and soon brought in the two Yu marquises.
When the two of them saw Zhou Kang, they knelt on the ground at the same time."Greetings, Magistrate!"
"Please get up!"
Zhou Kang smiled." We parted at the Grand Preceptor's Residence two years ago. I haven't seen Magistrate Liang for three years. How have Magistrate Liang and Miss Cai been?"”
The marquises nodded at the same time.”
Then, one of the Yu marquises cupped his fists and said,""Master, we came here today to ask for a favor!”
Zhou Kang raised his eyebrows and said with a relaxed smile,"Tell me, as long as I can do it, I won't refuse!”
The two of them looked at each other and said in unison.
"The birthday gift that my master gave to Grand Preceptor Cai is missing!”
"Magistrate, please help me find it!"
Hearing this, the smile on Zhou Kang's face froze!
