Chapter 019 Arrangement

Wang Pengfei held the handle of the knife and walked around the front hall anxiously. Lin Zimo, who was ready, came to him alone from the north room and wanted to speak, but Wang Pengfei took the lead. He leaned over Lin Zimo's ear and muttered a few words, which made Lin Zimo frown and look panicked.

Lin Zimo, who said 'wait a moment', quickly returned to the north room, took off the long sword from the wall, came to the front hall again without saying a word, and then the two left in a hurry. Yang Mengqi, who was chased out of the room, had no time to shout and no longer saw them, and an inexplicable sense of desolation kept emerging from the bottom of his heart. Her tears flowed out uncontrollably, guessing that her father was going to kill someone to save them.

Lin Zimo and Wang Pengfei did not have any communication on the road and trotted into the Pingnan County government. The two did not stop and ran directly into the back government. They saw that they were all wolf. Silver, porcelain, clothes were scattered on the ground... but Zhang Chi and his family did not see it. Without saying a sound, they came to Li Renjie's office again and found that he was already a warm body.

Lin Zimo, holding the sword in his left hand, sneered and said, "I didn't think these two guys were so useless. Li Renjie is a fierce and introd way. Some of the unscrupulous things he did depended on the power granted by the court. Zhang Chi is even more not a thing. Regardless of the life and death of the people in the city, he actually led his family to escape.

Some uncontrollable Wang Pengfei asked impatiently, "It is said that the rebels who rebelled against the court have come to us, and there are tens of thousands of people. Now, your official rank is the highest in Pingnan County. What do you think?

Lin Zimo, who is born with leadership and crisis management ability, has already made up his mind on the way here. If he leads his family to escape like Zhang Chi, I'm afraid that the Ming court will not let him go in the future. After all, he is a baseless sesame official. He doesn't want to fight hard, and he really doesn't want to involve those people who have something to do with him.

Lin Zimo also thought about leading the whole city to escape from the city, but he was worried about causing an extremely serious panic. There are only two gates in Pingnan County, and there are tens of thousands of people in the city. If they scramble for their lives, they will definitely trample on each other. At that time, I don't know how many people will die on the way to escape. In case of unfortunate encountering the rebels against the court, they will really become other people's fish.

Lin Zimo boldly made the final decision and said, "Go down with my order and close the two gates immediately. No one is allowed to enter or leave. The reason is that the county government is stolen, and thieves need to be caught in the city. The people in the city should close the doors and windows and not move around at will. If there is any disobey, it will be punished as a thief. What's more, you call all the officials in the government office to my office.

Wang Pengfei held his fist and said, "I will obey your orders. I will do it immediately. I will ask my cronies to inform the gate officials to close the gate immediately, and I will inform others in person.

Lin Zimo added: "No one is allowed to show the wind, and violators are punished according to the enemy. Go and call your cronies and let them keep two places. They can't enter the inner hall and here without my order. Let's do this separately. I will go back to my government office now to issue you the official document of the county government office.

Wang Pengfei nodded, and then the two went to do it separately. Lin Zimo, who returned to the government office, put the long sword in his hand on the desk, quickly wrote two notices with the pen, and then went to the lobby to stamp the big seal of Zhixian County. Zhang Chi, who knew that he was eager to run for his life, must be busy carrying yellow and white things and didn't have time to think about this thing.

After everything was done, Lin Zimo returned to the government office and saw that many people had come. Although they are talking a lot, they are completely unclear about what happened. Lin Zimo didn't say anything, and the notice in his hand was handed over to Wang Pengfei. After receiving the notice, he ran out silently, got on his horse and galloped towards the city gate.

"Let's sit down first and wait for everyone to arrive. Let me tell you one more important thing. Lin Zimo pretended to be relaxed.

"Master Lin, if you have something to do, just say it. I'm still busy on the other side. A stew official said hurriedly.

With that time, many people also got involved with him, and Lin Zimo smiled coldly and said, "Don't worry! At that time, you will be busy. Let's have a cup of tea first."

When everyone heard his cold answer, they had to sit down knowingly. Wang Pengfei kept beating the horse's buttocks and ran to a city gate. Today, if he hadn't been on duty with his men, I'm afraid that Pingnan County would have been in chaos. Naturally, he did not dare to be arbitrary about such a major thing, and even more to save tens of thousands of lives here. Wang Pengfei handed the two notices to the gate officials of the two gates and saw the gates closed before returning to Lin Zimo's office.

He hugged his fists with sweat all over his body and said, "Lord, I have done everything according to your instructions."

Lin Zimo nodded his head with great satisfaction and said, "Mr. Wang is working hard. Sit down and have a rest and drink tea."

Wang Pengfei sat down and didn't see whose tea it was. He picked it up and drank it.

Lin Zimo's face was extremely serious and said half-truthly and half-falsely, "I called you here to inform you. There is news that the rebels who rebelled against the court came to Pingnan County. Zhang Chi has led his family to abandon the city and escape, and Li Renjie wanted to run away, but he was executed by me in his government office.

As soon as all the officials heard this, they immediately blew up and whispered one after another. The fear in their hearts immediately appeared on many people's faces. Some people even began to curse Zhang Chi. Why didn't they inform themselves in advance? After all, they were loyal to him.

Wang Pengfei stood up and said harshly, "Be quiet. Now, we should take the lead. As for what to do next, we will all listen to him.

The speaker slowly lowered his voice until he stopped, and then his attention was focused on Lin Zimo.

Lin Zimo stood up and said very seriously, "The two gates in Pingnan County have been closed by me. If you don't have my order, you can't leave here. Now that things have reached this point, we can only coexist with the city. If we all die, the court will definitely give a commendation. Even if it's not for this, we can only do this for our family.

The government office is full of dead silence, and each has their own plans. Some people know it's too late to run. It's not that Lin Zimo has closed the gate long ago, but it's too late to get the news. If they really run away recklessly, they will bump into the rebels who rebelled against the court and feel that it is better to stay in the city than to run out of the city and take great risks. Some people are willing to defend the city. After all, it is their responsibility to defend the land, while some people still want to run...

During the period waiting for Wang Pengfei to come back, Lin Zimo's mind was not free. If you want to make this group of people obey his orders, you have to take some extraordinary means, otherwise you can't control these people. Although they don't talk, it's hard to guarantee that they don't have the intention to escape. If some of them run around, it's really difficult for them to clean up the situation.

In order to take care of the overall situation, Lin Zimo was cruel and wanted to alert them again: "Since Li Renjie wants to take his family to escape, he is more than enough to die. According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, his family must be involved in this matter. Wang, you take someone to arrest all his family members and take them to the county magistrate for questioning.

Wang Pengfei got up quickly and said, "I obey you."

After he left, Lin Zimo ordered: "Notify all the men who took the silver from the government office to cancel the rest and come back immediately. If you don't get it within half an hour, you will be punished according to the escape from the battle.

All the officials got up and said with one voice, "I'm in charge."

After answering, everyone has to go to their own affairs one after another. After all, it is about the life and death of themselves and the whole city.

"Leave the prison head for me and go to prison with me." Lin Zimo ordered with a blank face.

He knew that he could not rely only on this group of public guards who oppressed the people. Lin Zimo's purpose is to tie the interests of all people together and guard Pingnan County with one heart and one mind. I'm also scared from the bottom of my heart, but only in this way can I get a glimmer of life. There are still reservations about the situation described to him by Wang Pengfei.

Lin Zimo came to the prison in Pingnan County under the leadership of the prison head. According to his meaning, the prison leader concentrated the people who dared to resist taxes in the county on a piece of open space. Lin Zimly concluded that since they had the courage to resist, it showed that they had some courage. Their families are all in the city, so it is necessary to work hard to defend the city. The reason why he did not release people outside the city or traitors to defend the city is that he was afraid that they would turn against the enemy.

When everyone arrived, Lin Zimo said in a voice that everyone could hear: "I tell you the truth, the army that betrayed the court is about to come, and the purpose of letting you out is to defend the city. You can have resentment in your hearts, but you have to protect your wives and children from slaughter and adultery. So, if you have the guts, stand up for me."

After looking at each other for a moment, someone took the initiative to stand up. Lin Zimo stood in front of them for less than three minutes, and all of them stood up and shouted to defend the city. When he saw such a situation, he was very happy, and his next plan was to mix this group of people with the tolerance of the government office. In that way, the two groups can supervise each other.

"Very good, bloody, like a man from Pingnan County." Lin Zimo praised them well.
