At this time, in a mansion in Gutian County, a middle-aged man with a mustache was holding a letter he had just received, this person was the Gutian County Lord Bo Wang Demin, he was born in Xiucai, he was not qualified to be an official, relying on his sister to the prefect Huang Yihua as a concubine, only to become the Gutian County Lord Bo, don't look at this Bo official position is not big, but the power is not small, in charge of the county's grain tax, household registration, equivalent to the county finance director, civil affairs director in one, in the county in addition to the county order and county Cheng, the number of the main Bo officials are big, and they are the third person in the county.

In particular, Wang Demin is a native of Gutian, and he is quite influential in the local area, plus he has the prefect Huang Yihua as a backer, and those small officials in the county listen to him, so he is even better than the county order in terms of real power.

After reading the letter written to him by Huang Yihua, Wang Demin excitedly took the case, and the opportunity came! Originally, his sister-in-law has gradually fallen out of favor over the years, he went to Fuzhou several times to meet Huang Sihua, a cheap brother-in-law, but Huang Bihua didn't meet him, which also made him a little panicked, although he is now the number one person in the county, but if there is no Huang Bihua's big backer, he will soon be beaten back to his original form!

Unexpectedly, at this time, Huang Sihua would take the initiative to repair the book for him and let him do things, and promised that as long as he did his job well, he would drive away the new county commander Guo Zhiyuan, and he would take over the position of the county commander and become the respect of a county! Do you think Wang Demin can't be excited?!

As for Huang Bihua's letter, he also told him that although the new county commander Guo Zhiyuan is young, it is not simple, let him deal with it carefully, and he will automatically ignore the words of carelessness, where can a yellow-haired boy be, and there are still Jinshi in the previous county orders, isn't it also the same as being set up by him, playing with it in the palm of his hand, and finally having to ask for a transfer from Gutian County?

Of course, since Huang Sihua wrote a letter in person, he still had to pay attention to it, so he excitedly paced back and forth in the hall for a few steps, and then called the little servant loudly: "Go and invite Bai Xiancheng here, say that I have something important to discuss with him, forget it, I will go to him in person, quickly get my official uniform, I want to change my clothes!" ……”

The relationship between Wang Demin and the county is not very good, at most it is a relationship of mutual use, when the county order was sent down, they joined forces to set the county order in the air, and when the county order left, they fought inwardly, but this whiteness is very shrewd, and he is friendly with the Sun family, one of the two major families in the county, so although Wang Demin has local advantages, he can't help him, and the two maintain this relationship of mutual use.

Baidu is working in the county government at this time, he is a man, when he first came to Gutian County as a county leader, he was also full of ambitions, and wanted to do a career in Gutian County, but he soon found that the ideal is very plump, the reality is very skinny, Gutian County is not only poor and backward, the family power is entrenched, the county government's decree out of the county government is basically no one listens, and what's worse is that there are often bandits here, these bandits come and go like the wind, looting everywhere, and the locals give them internal response, can't catch, can't fight, There is such a group of guys who specialize in sabotage, and the county can't do any construction.

At the same time, Baidu also felt very unfair, the county orders sent by the imperial court were all straw bales, and the four bodies were not diligent and the grains were not divided, and those ridiculous decrees were simply ridiculous, and it was simply an insult to his IQ to succumb to such a straw bag, so the whiteness has also changed, and it is no longer the Baidu who was full of ambition and wanted to do a career, and even he joined forces with Wang De* to set those straw bales county orders in the air.

The only thing that hasn't changed in Baidu is that no matter what, he still has the habit of going to the county office on time, even if he arrives at the county office, he doesn't have any official business for him to do, he can only read books and practice calligraphy, he still shows up at the county office on time every day, rain or shine.

So Wang Demin knew very well where to find Bai Du at this time, he came to the county office in a hurry, Bai Du was practicing calligraphy in the office at this time, Wang Demin broke in, and shouted at Bai Du: "Brother Bai, you are really calm, haven't you heard?" The new prefectural magistrate will take office tomorrow! ……”

Bai Du glanced at Wang Demin, continued to practice his calligraphy, and said expressionlessly: "What does he have to do with me?" ……”

Wang De slapped his thigh and said: "You can't say that, the county order doesn't come, this Gutian County is you and I have the final say, the county order is coming, some things are not so convenient for you and me to do, and if you come to a lord who is not easy to get along with, it will be even more troublesome......"

Bai Du glanced at Wang Demin again, and said slowly: "I'm afraid it's not so convenient for the main king, I don't care about money and food, and I don't care about personnel, he is his county commander, I am my county leader, the well water does not interfere with the river water, what trouble is there?" ……”

Wang Demin was said by Bai Du to blush, he is in charge of the county's grain tax, these years naturally there has been no less than his hands, corruption and bribery, most of the small officials in the county are also his people, if the new county order wants to rectify the county governance, naturally first to take him to the knife, so he hurriedly coughed embarrassedly and said: "Brother Bai, it's not interesting for you to say this, I'm mainly not worth it for you, you are from a good background, shrewd and capable, you should have been a county commander in terms of qualifications, I heard that the new county order that came back here is a gentleman from the capital, and even Xiucai was not admitted, Are you willing to be driven by such a straw bale county order? ……”

These words were just about the sore spot of Baidu, and the hand that practiced calligraphy paused, raised his head and looked at Wang Demin and said coldly: "What do you want?" ……”

Wang Demin knew that he had been moved by his own words as soon as he saw Bai Du's expression, and said with a sneer: "Old way, you and I join forces to set him up!" ……”

Bai Du smiled coldly and said: "Why do you need to say that Bai is not talented, but not everyone can drive him, and not everyone can make Bai subordinate......"

Wang Demin smiled, rubbed his hands and said: "There is one more thing, tomorrow the new county commander Guo Zhiyuan will come to the county to take office, Brother Bai has always been resourceful, can you help come up with an idea, you and I will join forces to give him a dismissal, let him know that you and I are powerful!" ……”

Bai Du groaned slightly, and said with a sneer: "Now that the county is short of money and food, didn't there be any migrant workers who came to ask for wages for repairing the county government a few days ago?" And the annual disaster relief and poverty alleviation funds have not been allocated, right? The new county magistrate is coming, and this kind of affairs will naturally be handled by the lord of the county, this Gutian County has always been a fierce people, and there are many people who do not obey the king, if he does not handle it well, he is injured and killed by the mob, and he can only blame him for not being worthy of the position, and he can't complain about others......"
