Zhang Mazi, the magistrate of Goose City, said goodbye without saying goodbye, and Huang Shilang, the chairman of the county senate, was shot and killed by a mob, and Goose City was left without a master for a while.

Some thugs with Zhang Mazi's guns robbed several landlords in Goose City and killed several landlords' doglegs. At this time, the landlords and gentry of Goose City are all in danger. They spontaneously carried cattle, sheep, and silver to labor the army, and asked Brigade Commander Guo's army to maintain order in Goose City.

Brigade Commander Guo avoided it, and they carried the silver to the county office. The county government now has no county magistrate and master, and there is no one who is in charge. The servants did not dare to call the shots, so they could only persuade them to go back in a good voice.

"Master Dai and Master Hou, there is no way to go on like this, we have to introduce a person to talk to before the provincial capital determines the new county magistrate!" a landlord said to the heads of the two major families in the south of the city who took the lead in petitioning. As soon as he said this, there were all kinds of responses.

"Yes, according to me, I will ask Master Dai and Master Hou to preside over the overall situation of the county government. Another gentry proposed.

"Master Dai himself is the vice chairman of the Senate of Goose City, the number one county magistrate ran away, and the chairman of the Senate died, so it is justified to come out and preside over the overall situation at this time. A group of landlords and gentry echoed one after another, and Master Dai and Master Hou were indistinguishable for a while.

Master Dai touched his beard and cleared his throat to signal everyone to be quiet. "Everyone is old. In our Goose City, there is another person who is more suitable for the position of county magistrate than me. ”

"Who?" asked the landlords.

He is Zhou Xing, a statistical investigator of the provincial party department. This person is extremely talented, and he is really a rare hero. He is now on business in Goose City, and the case of Huang Shilang's beheading is that he is behind the scenes to collect evidence and give advice for the county magistrate. If you can invite him out of the mountain, the goose city will definitely return to a clear day. ”

He and Zhou Xing had already discussed this statement, but now it is just a smooth remorse.

"In that case, he should be invited to preside over the overall situation!" In their eyes, the people who came from the provincial departments of the Kuomintang were all senior officials. In Goose City, that's a great big guy, and he deserves to be in this big role.

In the meeting room of the county government, Brigade Commander Guo, who was closed to guests, made a rare appearance, he sat in the main seat in a military uniform, and Zhou Xing sat in a suit to sit with him, with a clear distinction between primary and secondary.

They were flanked by landlords and gentry of all sizes in Goose City. "Ladies and gentlemen, this uniformed general is Brigade Commander Guo under Liu Dutong, and the one next to him is Zhou Xing, Investigator Zhou. ”

After Mr. Dai's introduction, the landlords were in an uproar. They thought that they could serve as investigators in the provincial ministry not in their forties or fifties, but they were also in their thirties and forties, but they didn't expect that they were a stinky boy.

"Last time, I proposed that Investigator Zhou temporarily serve as the county magistrate of Goose City, and everyone had no objection. Today, under the witness of Brigade Commander Guo, we went through a ceremony to officially elect Investigator Zhou as the county magistrate..."

"I'm against it!" he said, and before he could finish speaking, an old man in a printed satin stood up in protest

"The position of county magistrate is very important, how can it be handed over to a hairy boy so hastily?" he said, nodding yes, there are many people.

Zhou Xing's eyes were cold, "I don't know what this old man is called?"

"If you don't change your name, you don't change your surname, and under it is Cao Kun of Goose City Jin Jiang Hotel. The old man named Cao Kun arched his hand arrogantly, not taking Zhou Xing a hairy boy in his eyes at all.

"Well, I admire those who dare to speak the truth! That's all for today, and since there are people who oppose it, we'll discuss it another day. ”

Zhou Xing bowed slightly to Brigade Commander Guo, "Brigade Commander Guo, I'm sorry, I have to let you run again!"

Brigade Commander Guo returned the salute, "Don't get in the way!" he snorted heavily at Cao Kun, startling the other party. After everyone left, Zhou Xing grabbed Master Dai, "What's the origin of this Cao Kun?"

"His background is not big, but he relies on a nephew who is the deputy captain of the security team, and he usually doesn't even give us face except for the county magistrate and Huang Shilang. Master Dai smiled bitterly, this matter can be regarded as a mess for him. I don't know how Childe will blame him.

"How's his character?"

Character? Master Dai didn't understand the meaning of Zhou Xing's question. He thought for a moment and replied, "He has a bad reputation, and I heard that he likes to take concubines." Several of his tenant farmers were ruined by him, because he fell in love with the tenant farmer's daughter. He took ten concubines, but now only three are still alive. ”

"Oh, why is that?"

"It is said that they all died of illness. However, there are also rumors that the eldest woman of his family is jealous and has forced many favored concubines to death. ”

"Why do you have such a house of sin left? find a few people to do him and push it on the mob. Zhou Xing commanded, and Master Dai grew his mouth when he heard this.

"Why don't you go soon? With your little bit of woman's kindness, you still want to be Huang Shilang?" Seeing that Master Dai was stunned, Zhou Xing frowned and urged.

"Yes, Childe!" Master Dai took the order and left.

That night, mobs attacked landlords again in Goose City. Mr. Cao of the Jin Jiang Hotel, the largest hotel in Goose City, was beaten to death with the butt of a gun by a thug with a gun. His family's belongings were looted.

If Master Cao's incident was accidental, then the incident that happened the next day was quite intriguing. Cao Yun, the deputy captain of the county security team, was arrested by Brigade Commander Guo and shot dead on the spot.

According to people familiar with the inside story, Cao Yun colluded with bandits to rob Liu Dutong's tobacco soil. The large amount of tobacco and soil that Brigade Commander Guo copied from his house proved that he had indeed not been wronged.

People with a heart connected the two things, and they suddenly shuddered. Master Cao is afraid that he is not a thief, but he is a cheap mouth. The captain of the Goose City security team crawled to Dai's mansion and asked Zhou Xing to see him.

The armed commander-in-chief of this goose city was extremely respectful in front of Zhou Xing. Not only did he give 10,000 taels of silver, but he also half-knelt to show his loyalty, saying that only the county magistrate of Zhou was looking forward to it, and he was pointing to where to fight.

Zhou Xing waved his hand to correct him, "I'm just an investigator, not a county magistrate!" The security captain came over flatteringly, "County Magistrate Zhou, who dares to stop you from taking office, the little one will not let him go." ”

Zhou Xing looked at him with a smile, and saw that the latter's heart was furious. The lord in front of him is not a good type, and with a wave of his hand, he killed the deputy captain of the Goose City security team and a big man, just because the landlord sprayed feces indiscriminately.

"You go back, when I take office, the captain of the security team in Goose City will still be you, do a good job!" Zhou Xing patted him on the shoulder gently.

This man in his forties was so moved that he was about to cry. The new county magistrate has passed this hurdle, and his position and head have been retained. Returning to the courtyard arranged for him by Dai's mansion, Daiyu Qingwenzi came over. "Slave and maid damn it!"

She knelt in front of Zhou Xing with a plop, her head buried in her chest, her shoulders shrugged slightly, obviously quite emotional. "What are you doing here?" Zhou Xing asked knowingly.

"Master, slaves shouldn't try to report to Huang Shilang!" Zhou Xing lifted her chin on her toes, and a delicate and charming face suddenly appeared in front of Zhou Xing.

This woman is quite scheming, Huang Shilang died, she came to confess to Zhou Xing, and she also painted a light makeup before repenting. It doesn't look like he's here to atone for his sins, but like he's seducing the old man for a long time.
