After placing the accompanying soldiers and the captured bandits, Han Zhan said to Zhao Yun who was standing aside: "Zilong, anyway, we are idle, and we are not allowed to go out for a walk." ”

When the two of them were wearing civilian clothes and were about to walk out of the county office, they were seen by the flower master who was staying in the signing room, and he knew from the clothes of the two that the two wanted to go for a private visit, so he hurriedly ran to the door and asked Han Zhan with a smile: "Envoy, I don't know where you plan to go?" ”

"I'll just hang out." Han Zhan replied casually.

Han Zhan's answer made Master Hua's mood become uneasy. Don't look at him as just a master book, but because the county orders have been changing like a marquee over the years, the power in the county is actually in his hands. With the power in his hands, he will inevitably do something to bully men and women, and at this moment, knowing that Han Zhan and they are going to go out for a private visit, where will they not panic.

He called a servant and said to Han Zhan: "When you first came here, you are not familiar with the place, and this official is quite familiar with the city, so it is better to let him be a guide for you." ”

"Thank you for your kindness." Regarding the arrangement of the flower master's book, Han Zhan politely refused: "Zilong and I are just walking casually, and we won't get lost." Zilong, let's go! ”

Looking at the backs of Han Zhan and Zhao Yun, Hua Hu said to the officer, "You go and follow, see where they have gone, and come back to tell me." The official agreed, and quietly followed.

Zhao Yun is a person who practices martial arts, and he feels much more sensitive than ordinary people, and the official who followed him far behind him was quickly noticed by him. He approached Han Zhan and whispered, "Envoy, there are people following us behind." ”

After hearing this, Han Zhan asked expressionlessly, "Do you know who it is?" ”

"The other party has been following us from the county government until here, and it should be someone from the Hua Zhushu faction." After explaining the identity of the stalker, Zhao Yun asked Han Zhan for instructions: "Envoy, should I send him away?" ”

"Let him go." Han Zhan scoffed at this villain trick of the flower master, and said disapprerovingly: "If you don't let him know where we've been, I'm worried that he won't be able to sleep tonight." ”

Zhao Yun said vigilantly: "Envoy, how do I feel that the master of the flower book is a bit of a thief, could it be that he is worried that the two of us will have evidence of what he is doing when he goes out on patrol?" ”

"Zilong," Han Zhan stopped and said to Zhao Yun with a serious expression, "You have to remember: when the water is clear, there are no fish." As long as the master is a person who can do things, even if there is corruption, we must make the best use of our talents. ”

Han Zhan's statement is very fresh to Zhao Yun. According to his thinking, if there is corruption and preying on the common people, he should be dismissed from his post without hesitation. However, he thought about it, since the envoy said this, there must be his reason, so he did not continue to dwell on this matter, but asked: "I don't know where we are going next?" ”

"Let's go casually," Han Zhan said lightly, "Let's see how well Master Hua governs this county." ”

Although the population of Sheguo County cannot be compared with Jizhou at all, there are many pedestrians on the street, and the shops on both sides of the street are open for business, and there are many customers.

Seeing this situation, Han Zhan couldn't help but nodded, and said with emotion: "I didn't expect that there is quite a set of master books to govern Sheguo County, and it is indeed a bit condescending to have a master book." In my opinion, it is not impossible to let him be a county minister. After saying these two words, he looked left and right, pointed to the city wall not far away with his hand, and said to Zhao Yun: "Zilong, let's go to the city wall." ”

When he arrived at the city wall, Han Zhan found that the situation was worse than he had imagined. Except for the section of the city wall near the city gate, which is relatively intact, the further you go, the more dilapidated the city wall becomes, and most of the bricks on the ground are broken, revealing the rammed earth below. There are even some areas where weeds are more than half a person tall.

Han Zhan pointed to the weeds in front of him, as well as the few big trees in the wall next to the city wall, and said to Zhao Yun, "Zilong, you saw it. The city wall of Sheguo County is not only short, there is no moat, and even there is such an inaccessible place on the city wall, it is hard to believe that once a thief comes to attack, how can we defend the city. ”

If he hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, Zhao Yun couldn't believe that the city wall would be overgrown with weeds, and after he gasped, he said to Han Zhan: "Envoy, judging from the current situation, if you want to eliminate the bandits and yellow turbans in Sheguo County, you need to first improve the defense of Sheguo County. ”

"That's right, to repair the city walls and improve the defenses, we newcomers still don't know how to start, and this matter must be presided over by the flower master." Han Zhan said to Zhao Yun with a smile on his face: "Zilong, you should understand by now, why did I accommodate him even though I knew that there was something wrong with the flower master book, right?" ”

Han Zhan's words made Zhao Yun feel enlightened, and he suddenly became enlightened, he nodded and said, "Yun understands." ”

……

……

Just when Han Zhan and Zhao Yun were on the city wall, discussing how to repair the city wall, the official who had been following far behind returned to the county government and reported what he had seen and heard to the flower master.

After listening to the official repeat Han Zhan's original words, Hua Hu felt as if he was in a dream, and he coveted the position of county prince, but he thought about it in his heart, and he had never said it to anyone. I didn't expect the new county magistrate to think that he had the ability to be a county magistrate, which is simply a pie-in-the-sky thing. But for the sake of safety, he still asked: "Did you really hear clearly, did the envoy mean that I can be a county magistrate?" ”

This official is Hua Hu's henchman, and if Hua Hu can be promoted, he will naturally be able to get benefits. Therefore, after hearing what Han Zhan said, he didn't care about continuing to follow him, so he hurriedly ran over to report to his master. At this time, when he heard Hua Hu asking, he nodded hurriedly and said affirmatively: "That's right, Lord Bookkeeper, the little one was only a few steps away from the envoy at that time, and he heard it clearly, absolutely right." ”

"I see." After Hua Hu confirmed the news, his expression returned to normal, and he waved his hand at the officer, "There's nothing for you to do here, you go down first." ”

As soon as the official left, Hua Hu stood up excitedly, walked back and forth in the signing room, and said in his heart that since the new county magistrate wanted to promote himself, then he must be close to him tomorrow to leave a good impression on the other party. By the way, Han Envoy Jun and the county lieutenant went to the city wall, it seems that they are planning to repair the city wall, and they can ask Han Envoy Jun for his life and be responsible for the maintenance of the city wall.

The maintenance of the city wall is a big project, and those who have undertaken this project in the past can reap a lot of benefits from it. However, if you are responsible for it this time, then you must not make money from this project, and only by honestly repairing the city wall and leaving a good impression on the envoy can you be sure of being the county leader.
