On the way into the city, Luo Cheng did hold his breath in his heart.

These days, he is quiet on the surface, constantly reassuring and restraining the brothers below, but in fact, he can't help it.

Rode alone to the north gate of the county seat, and the guards at the city gate had been replaced by a new Zhuangban officer. Luo Cheng glanced over, and they were all unfamiliar faces.

Du Ruhui's actions were fast and steady step by step.

He transferred 120 township warriors from the other four townships of Zhangqiu County, except for Changbai Township, to form a new Zhuang team, and served as the team leader with his own family entourage.

Luo Cheng rode to the city gate, and there were already several strong officials with horizontal knives on their shoulders, and a group of people came to stop him.

"What people!"

Luo Cheng directly showed the sign of the captain of his county and county soldiers.

"County Barracks Luo Cheng!"

A very burly bearded man in the Zhuang class swept his eyes, but he did not let him go.

"What did you do in the city?"

"See the prefectural order if you have something."

In the past, Zhuang Banna was Luo Cheng's subordinate, and even the city defense of Zhangqiu was under his control, but now it is obvious that these new Minzhuang do not pay attention to him.

After all, a Minzhuang was also a member of the township regiment, and he was also incorporated into Luo Cheng's vanguard battalion auxiliary corps when he suppressed bandits last time, so he naturally knew Luo Cheng, and he leaned over to the big man and whispered a few words.

The big man glanced at Luo Cheng a few more times, his attitude was arrogant, and he didn't take Luo Cheng in his eyes at all.

Originally, the county soldiers, the township regiment, and the people were all almost in the same system, all of them were catching thieves and thieves, but now this person's attitude is obviously deliberate.

"What, can't I go into the city?" Luo Cheng asked.

"The county magistrate may not be free to see you, the county magistrate and the county lieutenant have been busy reorganizing the county government recently."

"Whether the county order is free to see me, that is the decision of the county order, and it is not up to you to make the decision for the county order."

The bearded man looked at Luo Cheng, and finally snorted, "Please." ”

Luo Cheng ignored him and hit the horse into the city.

After entering the city, Luo Cheng found that Zhangqiu City was no different from the past, but now there are Zhuang squads wearing the word Minzhuang written on them at the entrances of various streets and alleys, and there is a team of Minzhuang patrolling from time to time.

rode straight to the county office.

In front of the county office, there was also a group of people, all standing with spears in their hands, and a few people with knives to lead the team. Obviously, these knives are the Du family members brought by Du Ruhui, who are worthy of being the children of famous families, and they all took office with many capable staff members and long-term followers.

It stands to reason that although Luo Cheng, the county barracks lieutenant, is stationed in the county town, he actually has to accept the jurisdiction of the county, especially the county lieutenant who is in charge of general affairs, and has the right to directly govern the transfer.

But after Du Ruhui came, he was not summoned at all, and Luo Cheng never came.

"The county barracks Luo Cheng, I want to meet with Zhang County Order, and I have something to report."

Minzhuang, who was guarding the door, checked his official seal as usual, and then sent someone to report it, and did not let him enter directly.

After a while, there was a chief entourage of Zhang Yichen in the ya.

"Captain Luo is here, so the king sent me to welcome you in."

Following this long entourage, Luo Cheng felt that this place was so strange now.

Not long ago, he was the second-in-command in this county office, in charge of Liecao, and in charge of the government, but now the people who come in and out here have basically become unfamiliar faces.

"The county government has changed a lot." The long attendant also sighed.

On the way, he cautiously told Luo Cheng that after Du Ruhui took office, he continued to make big and small moves, not only driving Luo Cheng, the acting county lieutenant, out of his county barracks, but also driving his third squad away. Then all the officials in the two rooms that had been temporarily promoted or retained were also opened.

"Now the two rooms and three classes of officials in the county government are all brought by the county lieutenant, and only a very few are promoted from the local area."

Luo Cheng listened to the meaning of his words, and he was also a little dissatisfied with Du Ruhui's behavior, and he estimated that Zhang Yichen might also have such thoughts.

After all, Zhang Yichen is the chief official, Du Ruhui is the adjutant, and now as soon as he comes, he will clean up the county government from top to bottom, which seems to be cleaning up Luo Cheng on the surface, but in fact it is directly aimed at Zhang Yichen.

When he came to the back office, Zhang Yichen, who was accused, went to the county governor's court in the east chamber of the former ya.

"Please wait here for tea."

Luo Cheng sat there and waited helplessly, and he waited for a long time and didn't see anyone coming.

A bowl of tea cooled early, and no one added it.

It's really a person who walks away from tea and cools.

"What do you think, you've been in a daze, and you shouldn't be called outside."

A voice sounded in his ears, Luo Cheng looked up, only to find that it was the girl next to Zhang Qianjin.

"It's a red-line girl." Luo Cheng got up a little embarrassed and said hello.

This girl is the righteous daughter of Zhang Yichen who originally planned to marry Luo Cheng.

I haven't seen it for a while, the red line has changed a lot, and the dress on her body has also changed, no longer a maid's outfit, but a lady's outfit with a big-sleeved shirt.

"I happened to be passing by, and I saw you here in a daze, what are you thinking?" Red Line doesn't seem to be embarrassed.

"Oh, it's just a little distracted."

Red Line looked at him and saw that he seemed to be more composed.

"Do you think that when people go to tea, the world is cold?" Red Line asked.

"Sort of, indeed."

"Then do you still resent my father-in-law in your heart?"

"Nope."

"I say no, I must have it in my heart, but in fact, you really can't complain about my father-in-law. The new county lieutenant is not simple, that is the descendant of the Jingzhao Du family, the grandson of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Works, who is not only from a famous family, but also young and talented, conceited and arrogant, I heard that he has already arrived in Zhangqiu, but he has not revealed his identity, but is secretly checking the situation in Zhangqiu, and then you and your brothers have offended this one, so ah, as soon as he takes office, he has to drive you away. ”

"My stepfather also said a lot of good things about you, but he refused to budge at all."

Luo Cheng shook his head.

"If we want to say that we offended this Du County Lieutenant, there is really no way to talk about it, although it is a little misunderstood, but I think if he keeps that little thing in his heart all the time, and has to declare a personal vendetta, then he is too narrow-minded."

Red Line covered her mouth and smiled.

The father-in-law said the same thing, and he said, "Actually, what is offended, but it is just an excuse. The reason why I really can't tolerate you is that this person is very ambitious and proud. He wants to be in power as soon as he comes, so he will attack you directly, and he is actually trying to force you to leave yourself. ”

"By the way, aren't you Zhang Juncheng's protégé, why don't you go to the county seat?"

"I'd rather stay in Zhangqiu!"

"But the county lieutenant Du can't tolerate you."

"I'm Zhang Yuanjun's person, Zhang Yuanjun can't see that I've been bullied like this by County Lieutenant Du, right?" Luo Chengdao.

"The father-in-law is also very helpless." Red Line said.

At this time, there were footsteps outside, and the red line hurriedly got up, "I'll go first, you take care of yourself, remember not to mess around, you can't fight County Lieutenant Du." With that, she hurried away.
