Early the next morning, Wang Lei and his entourage turned around and headed towards Julu County.

Nanhe County and Julu County are not far apart, and in one day, Wang Lei and his party have arrived in Julu County by car. The carriage stopped outside the city, but the old man got out of the carriage alone and went to the county seat. Wang Lei planned to be with the old man, but was sternly rejected by the old man. The old man's strange behavior made Wang Lei even more unclear about the origin of the old man.

An hour later, the old man returned from the city.

He returned to the carriage without saying a word, Wang Lei did not ask, and asked Xiaohao to drive to the north. From Julu County to the north, through Pingxiang County, Ren County, and then to Yangshi County, and finally into the northernmost county of Julu County, Xiaqu County.

Further north, it is the territory of Zhongshan Kingdom.

Wang Lei and his entourage left Julu County and soon entered the territory of Wuji County in Zhongshan Kingdom.

At this time, it was already the middle of July.

The new prefectural commander arrived, and the news soon spread back to Wuji County.

When Wang Lei and his entourage arrived at the county seat, soldiers from the county government greeted them outside the city.

At the gate of the city, two carriages came. The carriage stopped, Wang Lei lifted the curtain of the carriage and walked out, he looked up, and when he saw the team at the city gate, the corners of his mouth twitched, and his eyes were strange. Because the soldiers who came to greet them, old and young, staggered, and did not have a decent person. In addition, the officials of the county government did not see any of them.

Encountering such a situation, Wang Lei's heart sank, could it be that this was a threat to him?

Wang Lei suppressed the surprise in his heart and asked, "Who is the person in charge?" ”

"Returning to my lordship, my humble position is!"

A thin and short old man in his fifties walked up, sickly and listless.

Wang Lei endured his dissatisfaction and asked, "What about the rest of the officials and soldiers of the county government?" ”

The old man replied, "Lord Hui, there has been news recently that the Black Mountain Thieves are about to attack Wuji County. When the officials of the county government got the news, they all gathered up their money and fled, and the few soldiers of the county government also dispersed, leaving only us. ”

Wang Lei's face changed greatly, and his mood was even heavier.

I thought it was a dismount, but I didn't expect to encounter a mess.

"Lead the way, go back to the county office!"

Wang Lei sighed helplessly and asked the old man to lead the way back to the county office.

Back at the county office, Wang Lei was even more depressed.

The entire county government is empty, and everything that can be valuable has been sold. There is no money in the treasury. Guo Yu, Queen Guo, Fu Bo and Xiao Hao are busy in the backyard, cleaning the backyard and preparing to eat at the same time.

After lunch, Wang Lei, Du Ji and Guo Jia discussed in the study.

Wang Lei looked serious and said in a deep voice: "The situation in Wuji County is more difficult than imagined, there are black mountain thieves eyeing you outside, and there are countless worries inside, the situation is not optimistic!" ”

Guo Jia looked relaxed and chuckled: "In my opinion, this is interesting." If you take over a complete Wuji County, there is no danger, so why do anything? This kind of thing is challenging to do. ”

Wang Lei rolled his eyes, the problem is that there are too many problems with the county government.

Du Ji thought about it carefully and said slowly: "When I entered the city, the veterans of the county government said that the officials and soldiers of the county government were scattered, which is a big problem. The county government must be put into operation in order to ensure the recovery of Wuji County. I think the most urgent task at the moment is to solve the big and small matters of the county government and sort out the various affairs of the county government. There are five officials under the command of the county order: the thief Cao, the subordinate governor, the gong cao, the chief bookkeeper, and the chief secretary, but now there is no one, and I will take on it for the time being. ”

Wang Lei nodded and said: "In internal affairs, I am not familiar with it, so I can only temporarily wronged Brother Bohou to concurrently serve as a part-time officer." When you encounter something to deal with, you don't have to report it, just arrange it directly. ”

"Yes!" Du Yi nodded in response.

Wang Lei changed his words and said: "Brother Bohou deals with the internal affairs of Wuji County, and Feng Xiao and I have to solve the external troubles of Wuji County. According to the words of the veteran, the Black Mountain thieves may attack the county seat of Wuji County in the next few days, and there are no soldiers, no weapons in the city, and even food and grass are problems, how to solve this? ”

Guo Jia smiled lightly and said, "My lord, this is actually not a difficult thing. There is a Zhen family in Wuji County, the Zhen family is extremely wealthy, and there is a lot of money, so the county order went directly to visit the patriarch of the Zhen clan and borrowed soldiers, money, and food from the Zhen family, and it was expected that the Zhen family would not refuse. ”

"Boom! Boom! ”

Outside the room, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in!"

The door opened, and the veteran ran in and said, "My lord, it's not good, the Black Mountain thieves are coming to Wuji County." ”

"What?"

Wang Lei exclaimed and stood up, his expression even more serious.

The Black Mountain thieves came too fast.

Wang Lei immediately made a decision and ordered: "Fengxiao, the matter is urgent, you organize the soldiers in the city to close the Sifang City Gate, and delay the time with the attacking Black Mountain thieves." I immediately went to Zhen's to borrow troops. Although the danger is imminent, it is the best opportunity to borrow troops. ”

Guo Jia nodded with a chuckle and said, "Please rest assured, Guo Jia will definitely live up to his mission." ”

Du Ji looked at the two of them with confidence, and shook his head in his heart.

The Black Mountain thieves are violently killing Wuji County, there must be a large number of people, even if they borrow troops from the Zhen family, but it is also an egg to hit a stone. But this is not a problem for him to consider, he is good at internal affairs, and he only needs to be in charge of things in the city.

The three of them had their own affairs, Guo Jia and the veteran left the county government and went straight to the city gate.

Wang Lei left the county government with the black gold snake spear and walked towards Zhen's house. He came to the gate of the Zhen family as fast as he could, knocked on the door, and soon, an attendant poked his head out and asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”

When the attendant saw the black gold snake spear in Wang Lei's hand, he shuddered with fright.

Wang Lei looked serious and said, "Please inform the head of the Zhen family, Wuji County has ordered Wang Lei to visit." ”

"Yes, yes!"

The attendant hurriedly went to inform, and after a short time, Zhen Yan, the head of the Zhen family, strode over. Zhen Yan saw Wang Lei carrying the second long black gold snake spear, his heart suddenly burst, but there was no expression on his face, and he said with a smile: "The county commander is visiting, what's the matter?" ”

Wang Lei said straight to the point: "Master Zhen, the Black Mountain thieves have been killed, and Wuji County is in danger." As soon as this official took office, he had no soldiers and weapons under his command, and it was difficult to meet the enemy, so he borrowed a hundred young guards from Mr. Zhen and followed me out of the city to meet the enemy. ”

Zhen Yan looked disbelieving, shook his head and said: "The Black Mountain thieves are attacking the city, and a hundred people can't stop it!" ”

Wang Lei snorted and said disdainfully: "The Black Mountain thief is just a chicken and a dog, not worth mentioning. I came to borrow a hundred young and strong soldiers from the Zhen family, and I just used them to build momentum, and I didn't plan to fight hard with Black Mountain. The Zhen family is the richest man in Wuji County, with huge family assets, if the Black Mountain thieves break the city, the Zhen family will definitely spend countless money to let the Black Mountain thieves leave. And the head of the Zhen family gave me a hundred young men, once the Black Mountain thieves were repelled, the Zhen family would avoid this disaster, this is a business, why not give it a try? ”

Zhen Yan thought about it carefully, nodded and said, "Okay, I believe in the county order once." ”

Immediately, Zhen Yan ordered someone to transfer the guards from the house.

Zhen Yan is a person who does things with great generosity, he did not pinch the number of people, he directly gave Wang Lei 300 people, and also gave Wang Lei a good horse. Wang Lei rode a horse and galloped, and went straight to the city gate with the three hundred people he had borrowed.
