Chapter 029 Head

The next day, Zhao Wenxuan and his two soldiers went to the county government with the heads of five rebels. When he came to the county government office, he did not directly go to Zhang Chi to talk about recruiting volunteers, but found Lin Zimo, who was working in the government office. Lin Zimo, sitting on the chair, saw the five cloth-wrapped heads they brought and thought that they should play a role in their affairs.

Yesterday, the two had already negotiated, so that Lin Zimo did not say much gossip and got up and led them to the office of Zhang Chi's office. Four people entered his government office and happened to see him sitting there drinking tea. Zhao Wenxuan's two soldiers arranged the five heads on Zhang Chi's copy according to his meaning.

The two soldiers who completed the task withdrew from the government office, closed the door, and then stood left and right under the corridor. Lin Zimo, who still didn't say anything, found a seat to sit down and expected that this matter would need to be negotiated slowly by three people. Looking at his Zhao Wenxuan, he did not show anxiety for the time being, so he immediately sat down.

Zhang Chi, who was holding a tea bowl in his hand, guessed when the two of them came together? He personally sent someone to invite Zhao Wenxuan to the banquet, but he didn't give any face. When he saw Lin Zimo and Zhao Wenxuan coming, he decided that the people were not good, but would not think that they were giving gifts to himself. Although he is just a seven-level county, he is reluctant to just be a decoration.

"You two come to me together. There must be something wrong." Zhang Chi slowly put down the tea bowl in his hand and came straight to the mountain.

Lin Zimo smiled and wanted to give him an intuitive feeling: "The county is really expected. Before we explain our intention, I hope you can take a look at the contents of the package.

Zhang Chi, who was curious, looked at the five packages in front of him. Driven by curiosity, he casually opened one of the views. A dead head suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. Zhang Chi, with a pale face, leaned back behind the chair and trembling with fear.

"What do you...you... mean?" Zhang Chi is the head of the person on the copy of his finger and stammered.

Lin Zimo, who turned sideways, wrote lightly: "I don't mean anything extra. I just want the county magistrate to check the head of the thief killed by Zhao Baihu."

"I've seen it." Zhang Chi said in shock, "You still have to take these things away."

Zhao Wenxuan saw his coward and said contemptuously, "Master Lin and I came to you to discuss this matter. Rebel spies have appeared outside the city, and my strength is not enough to defend Pingnan County, so I need to recruit volunteers among the majority of people. Based on all aspects, I estimate that 2,000 people need to be recruited.

"What you say is." Zhang Chi, who was scared enough, said with a bloodless face, "I agree. If you have nothing else, then bring these things out to me.

Lin Zimo winced at Zhao Wenxuan, with the intention of asking him to take away the head placed on the table. With understanding, he shouted the soldiers outside the door and took out the head on the copy. Zhang Chi, who was so scared that the three souls lost the second soul, picked up the tea again with his hands and took a sip of shock.

Zhao Wenxuan, who was in a good mood, smiled and said, "Since Zhang Zhixian has agreed to recruit volunteers, please transfer the required silver to me in time. After all, this matter is not easy or later."

"Alle." Zhang Chi's eyes were blank and he was scared enough to say, "You can go to Lin's book to handle it."

Lin Zimo said solemnly, "Go back to the county, the money in the treasury of Pingnan County is not enough to pay the amount needed by Zhao Baihu."

"Go figure it out." Zhang Chi, who couldn't care much, was blank in his mind. He got up tremblingly and interrupted.

"Yes." Lin Zimo got up and said, "I will do my best to complete the orders of the county lord."

I thought I was going to bargain with Zhang Chi, but I never thought that Zhang Chi would be so useless that he would be scared by the head of the dead and lose his sense. Lin Zimo couldn't help laughing when he thought of his past style and today's gaffe. The most unrelievable thing is still Zhang Chi's bad intentions against Chu Hanlu.

Since their goal has been achieved, it is meaningless to stay here. They got up back and forth and went out without giving Zhang Chi a gift. Zhao Wenxuan's heart did begin to admire Lin Zimo's talent. After all, this matter was handled neatly by him, and the time he spent was just a cup of tea.

Lin Zimo's mood is not relaxed at all. Although Zhang Chi agreed to recruit volunteers, I'm afraid no one knows better than himself how much money is left in the treasury of the government. He didn't think that Zhang Chi was just painting cakes for the two of them. After all, his boss was really scared. If it hadn't been for the county magistrate's nod, everything would have become a mirror.

After Lin Zimo's rough calculation, excluding the daily expenses in the government, it is enough for them to recruit 100 names. He knew that this number was still far from Zhao Wenxuan's 2,000 people, but it was better than nothing. The biggest problem in front of you is not people but silver.

Not long after the two came out, Lin Zimo invited Zhao Wenxuan to his government office for tea. I have to tell him the actual situation. How to get a lot of silver there, the two still have to sit down and slowly figure it out. Since silver can't fall from the sky, we can only find a way on the ground.

As soon as they entered Lin Zimo's government office, they heard someone shouting outside, "Come on, our county magistrate fainted."

"It's really useless." Zhao Wenxuan showed a very contemptuous expression and said, "Don't you just look at the head of the dead, as for the fear of being like that?"

Lin Zimo, who did not answer directly, called the little man to set up tea, and then sat down as usual and said, "We don't have to worry about him anymore."

Zhao Wenxuan shook his head and said, "If it hadn't been for you, I'm afraid it would have become a ghost city. However, Zhang Chi is really powerful, and he was not asked to be dismissed earlier. It seems that he is the old fried dough stick in our Ming officialdom. From a certain point of view, I can't even admire him.

Lin Zimo, who knew well, brought the topic of the two to the topic and said, "The problem we face is still the problem of silver, and I can only take 5,000 taels of silver to recruit 100 nominal braves. As for the remaining 1,900 people, there is nothing I can do. If you have a way to solve the problem of money, then say it.

"There's nothing you can do, then I can't help it." Zhao Wenxuan spread out his hands and said helplessly.

Lin Zimo, who took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, said what he thought and said, "There are hundreds of people eating imperial grain in the government. I think you can select capable people to form another brave team. In this way, we can organize a team of about 300 people. If we suddenly organize a team of thousands of people, it may not be a good thing. Maybe we will be slandered into rebellion.

Zhao Wenxuan knew his difficulties and lowered his head without saying a sound. What he wants is how to train this team well. Although Zhao Wenxuan is very young, he is quite experienced in leading troops. If he hadn't been trained enough in dealing with people, he would not have been sent to Pingnan County to garrison.

Lin Zimo, who didn't make a sound, thought that if Pingnan County was really hopeless in defense, it could not be summed up with the word 'trouble'. It is very unrealistic to organize the evacuation of the people in the city. After all, there are tens of thousands of people in the city. The situation outside the city is unclear. Running there is a huge problem, and I have not organized a large group of people to avoid disaster.

After being silent with each other for a long time, Lin Zimo took the lead in saying, "I think you are not familiar with some situations in Pingnan County, and you plan to let the catcher here go with you to recruit volunteers. If you have any other requirements, just ask. I can handle it for you to dispose of it so that you can act in the future.

"Or do you think well." Zhao Wenxuan, who raised his head, said half jokingly and half seriously, "It would be better if you were the chief officer of Pingnan County."

Lin Zimo did not hide his intention and looked at him and said, "Slowly, don't worry."

After that, the two looked at each other and laughed, and Zhao Wenxuan knew the meaning of his meaningful words. Lin Zimo not only showed his heart, but also pointed out Zhao Wenxuan's desire to make contributions.

......

Zhang Chi, who was carried to the back hall of the county government, was finally awakened by the invited Langzhong. Zhang Chi, who woke up, still looked bad, but his mind was no longer blank. While lying in **, he scolded Lin Zimo angrily, he ordered his housekeeper to pay attention to his movements, and the housekeeper standing by his bed carefully wrote it down.

Still restless, Zhang Chi was helped up by his fifth concubine and repeatedly told his housekeeper, "You can check the relationship between Lin Zimo and Zhao Wenxuan again. Did they make any deal secretly?

"Master, you should pay attention to your body and don't worry too much. You'd better lie down and rest. He is not just a master book of Zhengjiu, it's not a big deal. You are a dignified county magistrate. His concubine is a flattering concern.

"You are a woman who knows nothing." Zhang Chi said angrily, "If Lin Zimo really said so stupidly, I would have brought his Chu Hanlu to my home long ago."

The concubine looked unhappy and said strangely, "Master, it's really hard for you to miss Lin Zimo's concubine."

When he heard the irony, Zhang Chi shook his hand and gave his concubine a big mouth. A crisp sound made her white and tender little face have five more red marks.
