After Zhang Dezhong pondered for a moment, he asked, "Are you afraid of death?" ”

Wang Zhen gritted his teeth and said, "The villain is not afraid of death!" Now, he had no choice but to let go.

Zhang Dezhong said with a smile: "Okay, you go and get the evidence to the official first, and then go and tell the Haixian order, and the county magistrate, the doctor and the county lieutenant are also notified, saying that you have given the evidence of all their corruption to the official, and tell them to come here immediately to confess their guilt to me!" ”

Wang Zhen was shocked: "My lord, this is too dangerous, they are likely to murder you!" ”

Zhang Dezhong stroked his beard and smiled: "I was about to ask them to make trouble, I will interrogate them one by one, go quickly, I have my own arrangements." ”

Wang Zhen nodded, and Zhang Dezhong ordered: "Duan Xing, go and tell Captain Geng to get ready." ”

"Yes." Duan Xing answered and took the order.

It didn't take long for a team of officials to surround Cuixianju, and the county commander Haikang took the county Cheng, the county lieutenant and the doctor into the restaurant.

With a sweep of his eyes, he immediately saw Zhang Dezhong, sneered, he walked over, and arched his hand: "Xiaguan to meet Lord Shaoyin." ”

Tie Zheng was furious: "What are you doing here? Want to rebel or not? ”

Haikang Y said compassionately: "Don't dare, but Lord Zhang seems to have some misunderstanding about Xiaguan, and Xiaguan wants to invite Master Zhang to go to the county government and explain it to you." ”

Zhang Dezhong said lightly: "What about Wang Zhen? ”

At this time, the officials had already cleared the people, there were no idlers in the restaurant, and Haikang no longer had scruples when he spoke.

He said coldly: "That dog thing said something to Master Zhang that shouldn't be said, and he has been sent to prison by the lower officials." ”

Zhang Dezhong nodded and asked the group of officials, "Who is the head catcher?" ”

One of the officials with a full face stepped forward and said coldly: "Below is the head catcher, what is the matter with Lord Zhang looking for a villain?" ”

Haikang laughed and said: "This person is the nephew of the lower official, does Lord Zhang still want to rebel against him?" ”

Zhang Dezhong shook his head: "It seems that it is indeed hopeless." ”

At this moment, a dense vibration sounded outside the house, and Haikang panicked: "What sound? ”

Without waiting for others to reply, a team of horses appeared outside, and after a few breaths, these people subdued the officials outside the inn.

A young general in armor entered the inn, followed by Tie Zheng and the famous scholar, he walked quickly in front of Zhang Dezhong, and arched his hand: "Lord Zhang, is the end too late?" ”

"General Geng came just in time, let's take down all these people." Zhang Dezhong said with a smile, and then said to the scholar: "Kong Qian, from now on, you are the commander of Xiuning County, I will leave you three hundred military horses, and the rest will be handed over to you." ”

This scholar is the Sihu Zuo Kongqian of She County, who has been following Lu Yuan and is loyal, and he has finally been reused.

Kong Qian smiled and said, "Don't worry, Lord Zhang, your subordinates will definitely govern this county well." ”

Zhang Dezhong said again: "By the way, although the officialdom of Xiuning County is corrupt, the business governance is good, the city order can be reused, and there is another catcher named Wang Zhen can also be reused." ”

"My subordinates understood."

After that, Zhang Dezhong left with Tie Zheng and Duan Xing.

Captain Geng pointed to an officer beside him and introduced to Kong Qian: "Kong County Order, this is my subordinate Pan Yue, who is currently the head of the capital, and I will keep him for you to call." ”

Saying that, without waiting for Kong Qian to reply, he also left quickly, Qin Youyu gave him the task of protecting Zhang Dezhong, so he didn't dare to leave an inch.

Kong Qian sat down at the table where Zhang Dezhong had sat before, drinking tea and thinking about something.

Pan Yue pointed at Haikang and the others: "Lord County Commander, what should you do with these people?" ”

Hearing the words "Lord County Order", Kong Qian subconsciously stood up, then shook his head, and laughed, in his mind, the four words of Lord County Order were basically equal to Lu Yuan, and he thought that Lu Yuan was gone.

Thinking that he would be able to govern a piece of land in the future, he was feeling a little proud, and overheard Haikang say: "Kong County Order, as long as you are willing to let me go, I can give you three thousand taels of silver!" ”

Kong Qian was shocked in his heart, and said with a smile: "Is your county order worth three thousand taels?" ”

Pan Yue frowned when he heard this, but he didn't speak.

Haikang gritted his teeth and said: "Five thousand taels at most, no more." ”

Kong Qian asked the county magistrate and the county lieutenant, "What about you?" ”

The county Cheng said happily: "Xia Guan is willing to give two thousand taels!" ”

The county lieutenant and the doctor were silent, and they didn't know if they had run out of money or were disheartened.

Kong Qian smiled and said: "Pan Dutou, you have heard it, they have at least seven thousand taels of silver on them, I handed them over to you, and you can find a way to help me "ask" the money." ”

Pan Yue smiled and said: "Don't worry, my lord, the last general is the best at "asking" things!" ”

Haikang scolded: "Bastard, if you dare to lie to me, you won't die well!" ”

Pan Yue slapped him hard: "Speak again, Lao Tzu pulled out your tongue!" ”

Kong Qian no longer paid attention to the four of them, and walked all the way to the gate of the county government of Xiuning County, he was about to go in, and suddenly thought of the qi ng scene when Lord Lu first came to the county office, his heart moved, and shouted: "Come here, ask the county officials to come out to see me!" ”

Immediately, a sergeant entered the county office and called everyone out.

Since the officials in the county government were all arrested by him, all the officials who came out were some officials.

Kong Qian took out the appointment letter of Hui'an Mansion and the self-made official certificate of Hui'an Mansion from his sleeve, and said loudly: "I am the new county magistrate of Xiuning County, who is the recorder, come out and check the appointment letter!" ”

A middle-aged man in his forties walked out unwillingly: "The next is the record." ”

Kong Qian was startled at first, and then laughed: "Isn't this Lord Li Wencheng?" Why, didn't you follow Jiang Tingshi to Shinshu? ”

Li Wencheng's teeth were almost crushed, Kong Qian didn't dare to come out when he saw him before, but now he actually dared to laugh at himself, but after all, he was a person who knew the times, and said in a low voice: "How can Jiang Huai compare with Lord Lu, he is willing to stay in Xiuning." ”

Kong Qian patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, we are old acquaintances after all, and it is not the same to make friends, as long as you don't take the initiative to get along with me, I will reuse you." ”

Li Wencheng squeezed out a smile on his face: "Thank you, Lord County." ”

Kong Qian said: "By the way, check the letter of appointment and official certificates, right?" ”

Li Wencheng picked it up and looked at it, his brows furrowed slightly: "My lord, this official certificate is different from the previous one, and the appointment letter does not have the seal of the ministry." ”

Kong Qian said lightly: "Now that the officials of Hui'an Mansion use this new one, you can go to Hui'an Mansion and other counties to inquire, and in addition, in the future, the appointment of officials will only look at the seal of Hui'an Mansion, and you don't need to manage the seal of the Ministry of Officials, understand?" ”

Li Wencheng was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly said: "My subordinates understand." ”

……

After Zhang Dezhong left Xiuning County, he was originally going to take a carriage to Kaihua County, and his son Zhang Du is currently serving as the county magistrate of Kaihua County, so he is a little worried that he will not be well governed and will cause criticism.

However, halfway through, suddenly a Hui'an Mansion official came on a horse, and the official said: "Lord Zhang, General Qin asked you to go back immediately!" ”

Zhang Dezhong's heart moved, and he hurriedly said, "Is Lord Lu back?" ”

The official said, "General Qin didn't say it. ”

Zhang Dezhong hurriedly said: "Turn around and go to Hui'an City!" ”

……

On the eighth day of August, it is approaching night.

At the border between Jinling Mansion and Xuanzhou, Lu Yuan's five people rode horses, formed a formation of 212, and rushed on a small road.

Suddenly, a heavy rain fell without warning, and the five had to stop their horses, but fortunately, they immediately prepared their coats in their baggage, and the five immediately changed into them.

Qi Zhen, who was riding in front, said loudly: "My lord, the rain is very urgent, it looks like it won't stop for a while, if it's late today, why don't we find an inn to rest for the night." ”

"But in this wilderness, where is there an inn?" Lu Yuan frowned.

Xuankong interjected: "Lord Lu, there is an inn not far ahead. "He planned an escape route when he was trying to seize the jade seal, so he was very familiar with the terrain of Jinling Mansion.

"Okay, then let's get over there."

Not long after riding, a wild shop appeared in front of him, the door of the inn was closed, Qi Zhen stepped forward and patted the door, and the door of the store opened immediately.

The person who opened the door looked at the five people, and when he saw Lu Yuan, the corners of his mouth curled imperceptibly, and asked, "Does the guest officer want to be sharp or stay in the hotel?" ”

"Stay for one night, prepare us four spacious and tidy upper rooms, and feed the horses some good fodder." Qi Zhen said.

"Guest officer, I'm sorry, the rooms in the small shop are full, why don't you deal with it for one night in the lobby."

Seeing Qi Zhen looking at him, Lu Yuan nodded and said, "It will be one night." ”

"Come on, little two, go and feed the horses to the guests." The man who opened the door shouted.

"Got it, shopkeeper." A skinny young man dressed as a shopkeeper answered and trotted over.

It turned out that the person who opened the door was the innkeeper.

Because this inn inn is large, the cleaning is also very clean and tidy, it is the favorite inn for merchants in the past, and it is raining heavily outside, so the inn lobby has already been full.

Lu Yuan and a few people found a table and sat down, and asked the shopkeeper to serve wine and food, as soon as the wine was served, the flowers fell and drank, he didn't say a word along the way, and he seemed to be preoccupied.
