Guo Zhiyuan hurriedly said: "Mr. Zhao, don't be presumptuous, if it weren't for the Lu Mi Gong sent to me by Mr., let me suppress the people who are besieging the county government, I would be in danger......"

When it comes to firearms, Zhao Shizhen is energetic again, and said excitedly: "Yes, I can show my strengths in firearms, I can't help Gongzi in this power struggle, so I can only help Gongzi develop firearms, I already have some clue about the flintlock pistol that Gongzi said that day, so I will test it first......" After speaking, he left happily.

Guo Zhiyuan looked at Zhao Shizhen's back and had a headache for a while, it was his great luck to be able to dig up Zhao Shizhen, a firearms expert, but this research and development cost money, along the way for Zhao Shizhen to buy various materials for the development of firearms, it cost Guo Zhiyuan hundreds of taels of silver, and Guo Zhiyuan's family was about to be emptied.

At this time, Xu Guangqi also sighed and said: "Childe's current situation is indeed a little difficult, and there are many problems he faces, the top priority is to help Childe establish his prestige, otherwise you have no real name, and no one listens to the decrees issued, even if you have the power of heaven, you can't use it, but you can't be in a hurry, Childe has just arrived, if he is too strong, it will backfire, and Gongzi behaved very well, and most of the accounts of the king's master book were problematic, but Gongzi didn't get angry on the spot and stabilized him......"

Guo Zhiyuan glanced at Xu Guangqi, squeezed his fist hard and said: "Mr. can also see it, this Wang Demin is aggressive today, instigating the officials present to force the palace to me, it should be relied on, most of the things that besiege the county government today are also the mastermind behind him who came specifically at me, if I tear my face with him on the spot, I am afraid that it will fall into his hands, but I must get the detailed accounts of the county government, otherwise I can't understand the real financial situation of the county, and I can't prescribe the right medicine, it's not early today, and it's too late to check the accounts. So I first stabilized him, waited for me to find out the situation in the county, made proper arrangements, and then forced him to hand over the detailed accounts on the spot, if there is a problem, I can kill the chicken and monkey, and use him to make a threat! ……”

At this time, Wang Demin was pacing the official steps into the county Cheng's signing room, and said triumphantly to Bai Du: "It seems that this new county order is nothing more than that, today I will put him in the army, it should be enough for him to have a headache, he promised in public today to give the people an explanation within a month, the prefect Yamen is impossible to allocate money and food to him, and then I will let people make trouble with him, see if he has any reason to shirk!" ……”

Bai Du glanced at Wang Demin, who was carried away, and sneered: "If you think so, you are very wrong, although this Guo County Commander is young, it is by no means simple!" He's just behaving like this today to stabilize you, I'm afraid it won't be long before he will be able to cut you! ……”

A cold light flashed in Wang Demin's eyes, and he said ruthlessly: "I have the protection of the prefect and the help of my colleagues, what can he do to me?!" ”

"What a frog at the bottom of the well! This Guo Zhiyuan is the holy hand-picked Jiupin County Order, is there no backer in the capital? If the prefect can deal with him clearly, why would he privately repair the book and let you be a pawn? As for why these colleagues in the county government are willing to obey your orders, don't you know? Once that Guo County Commander takes your handle, you see if he can help you! ...... "Whiteness sneers at the nasal passages."

Wang Demin was still a little unconvinced and snorted coldly: "It's not so easy for him to hold my handle!" ……”

Bai Du shook his head and sneered: "I don't know where you got your confidence!" Do you really think that the money and food accounts you make are really seamless and flawless? ……”

Wang Demin chuckled in his heart and exclaimed, "He wants to check the accounts?!" What if I don't let him find out! ……”

Bai Du pouted and said: "He is a county order, and it is only right that he wants to check the accounts, why should you stop it?" His entourage is powerful and extraordinary, even if you are strong, you are not an opponent! ……”

As soon as he said this, Wang Demin was really a little flustered, and said a little helplessly: "That... How's that for good?! ”

Bai Du became more and more disdainful in his heart, this Wang Demin was also fierce, and he panicked when he really encountered something, is such a person worthy of cooperating with him? However, he didn't want Wang Demin to be caught by Guo Zhiyuan, because if Wang Demin was caught by Guo Zhiyuan, he could only go to fight against Guo Zhiyuan alone, and thought about it: "If you don't want to be caught by him, you can only take risks, I will teach you a trick to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle, you burn all the accounts, or you will die without proof!" ……”

Wang Demin was shocked again, this arson is a big crime, especially the county public accounts that are burned, as long as the news leaks a little bit and Guo Zhiyuan finds evidence, even Huang Yihua can't protect him, but now he has no choice, since he has chosen to fight Guo Zhiyuan to the death, then he can only go to the dark one way out, gritted his teeth and said: "This can only be the case!" I'll go and arrange ......," he said, and hurriedly turned to leave.

"Wait!" Bai Du stopped Wang Demin, lowered his voice and said: "The matter is big, the crime of arson is not trivial, you must choose a person who is strict and capable to handle this matter, have you thought of a suitable person?" Also, how do you think about how to explain to the Naguo County Order after a good thing? …… I've figured it out for you, you're arranging it like this......"

That night, Guo Zhiyuan did not stay in his official residence in the county government, but lived in an inn in the county seat, after all, there are some rules to be followed, and he also hopes to be able to get some news he wants from the innkeeper and Xiao Er, Zhang Cheng is good at dealing with the three sects and nine streams, and it is appropriate for him to do this, so after he stayed, he called Zhang Cheng to whisper.

Originally, Guo Zhiyuan wanted to go around the county town after dinner to understand the people's feelings, but he found that the people in the county were very vigilant when they looked at him, and closed the door when they saw him coming from afar. So Guo Zhiyuan also felt a little bored, and walked back to the inn after walking for a while.

Back at the inn, Zhang Cheng also came back from inquiring about the news, and he brought Guo Zhiyuan a very surprising news: in the minds of the people of Gutian, the most powerful person in Gutian County is not Guo Zhiyuan, the county master, but the patriarch of the two major families in the county, the Sun family and the Chen family! Nearly half of the people in this county are either surnamed Sun or surnamed Chen, which shows how influential these two patriarchs are, it can be said that the two patriarchs do not nod, and no one listens to the decree issued by the county decree when it comes out of the county government.

Moreover, the two patriarchs of Sun and Chen themselves have very strong financial resources, among which the Sun family started in business, more than half of the shops in the county are the industry of the Sun family, even in many big cities such as Fuzhou and Guangzhou, there are also Sun family shops, and the business is very large, and the Chen family is a big landowner, and nearly half of the fields in the county are Chen family. It is conceivable how powerful these two are!
