"Lord, the commander of this county, even if Zhou Xiang is willing, will the court accept it?" In the county office, the main secretary who sent away the prime minister's mansion to summon the news roared, and Qiu Chi looked at Ye Zhao with some embarrassment.

The lieutenant of a county, in the Central Plains, although not as important as in the border areas, is also an official position second only to Taishou, different from the separation of military and political in Youzhou, in a peaceful area like the Central Plains, the army is completely subordinate to politics, and therefore, the gold content of this lieutenant is not even as high as Ye Zhao's cavalry lieutenant when he was in Macheng.

Not to mention that Ye Zhao later served as a captain of Wuhuan for a few months, it can almost be said that he holds the official position of real power in most of the military affairs of a state, and other people's officials are getting bigger and bigger, but Ye Zhao's official position is ups and downs, this position of captain, in this Central Plains, is really not as good as a Suiyang County order, even if it is a Suiyang County order, the county guards and private soldiers that can be mobilized under Ye Zhao's hands may not be much worse than that captain.

Such a result made Qiu Chi and the others a little anxious.

"Military power must be held in our hands, at least nominally, military power must be grasped in our hands." Ye Zhao shook his head, chaos is coming, once the world is in chaos, this civil and military position will have to fall one by one, looking at the people with angry faces, Ye Zhao smiled and said: "The official document of the imperial court has not been issued yet, this is just a verbal promise from Zhou Jing, and wait." ”

Taiping Sect, he is not going to light this explosive barrel, Zhou Jing is willing to ask for it, so why not give it to him.

The next few days were relatively peaceful for Ye Zhao, although he was married to Liang Zi of the Taiping Sect, but with Liang Fa being thrown to Zhou Jing, nothing major happened to the county government for a month.

The New Year is approaching, and the gentry in Suiyang City continue to come to give gifts, and Ye Zhao is also considering paying tribute one by one.

Qian Bei was there, Ye Zhao didn't go again, although Qian Bei didn't say it explicitly that day, but the meaning inside, Ye Zhao understood it, before Ye Zhao didn't make an achievement that convinced him, Qian Zhao would not come out to help him, otherwise with Qian Fei's ability and the relationship with the Yingchuan Xun clan, he really wanted to be outstanding, and his current achievements might not be lower than him.

To put it simply, in the eyes of Qian Fei, although Ye Zhao has potential, he is not yet a master, let alone expect others to put their lives on him, as for how to be considered a master, Ye Zhao has some guesses in his heart, now is not the time.

"Lord, it's not good!" On this day, Ye Zhao was processing the file, preparing to sort out the situation of Suiyang for a year, and then submit it to the imperial court, but saw Qiu Chi coming in from outside the door in a hurry, and said anxiously.

"What's going on so alarming?" Ye Zhao put down the bamboo note in his hand and looked at Qiu Chi suspiciously.

"The team sent by the Prime Minister to escort the prisoners was hijacked." Qiu Chi said.

"Who is the escort?" Ye Zhao frowned.

"Liang Fa, and Na Ma'an."

"Tell me the details." Ye Zhao raised his eyebrows.

"Whoa!" Qiu Chi took a deep breath: "During this time, the Prime Minister's Mansion tortured Na Liang, I heard that the torture revealed a lot of things, and was ready to hand over Liang Fa and Ma An to the imperial court, who knew that the team escorting the prisoners had just been besieged by a large number of thieves in addition to Suiyang, Ma An was killed on the spot, and Liang Fa was also rescued. ”

"Just leaving?" Although Ye Zhao's tone was puzzled, he didn't show too much surprise on his face, he just frowned and said, "What does this have to do with me?" ”

He has already dissociated himself from this matter, so he has not paid attention to this matter anymore, for this period of time, he has been working hard to cultivate the people's livelihood, and at the same time secretly compressing the living space of the Taiping Sect in Suiyang, at least to ensure that when the Taiping Sect rises, Suiyang will not be affected too much, as for Liang Fa's matter, Ye Zhao has already expected it, so it is not unexpected.

This is an important figure of the Taiping Sect in Yuzhou, and the Taiping Sect will never allow Liang Fa to be sent to the imperial court.

"The Prime Minister just sent an official document, because this incident happened on the border of Suiyang, so he ordered me to find out the culprit as soon as possible." Qiu Chi smiled bitterly.

"......" Ye Zhao said helplessly: "Since it was done by the bandits, I should find Du Wei, what does it have to do with me?" ”

"The county lieutenant has died in battle, so Zhou Xiang sent an order to let the lord temporarily take the position of the captain, responsible for suppressing the bandits and recovering Liang Fa." Qiu Chi smiled bitterly.

"Heh~" When Ye Zhao heard this, he could only sneer.

"This is an official document." Qiu Chi handed a piece of bamboo paper to Ye Zhao and said, "Lord, what should we do now?" ”

"Now that the order has been given, it is natural to obey it." Ye Zhao frowned and said, "Do you know who the thief who intercepted Liang Fa?" ”

"Where do you know this?" Qiu Chi shook his head with a wry smile and said: "In this area of Liang Kingdom, there are few thieves, but now so many people have suddenly appeared, and even the soldiers of Liang Country have been scattered, don't say that you want to fight, even if you want to find it, I am afraid it will not be easy." ”

"It seems that this lieutenant is not easy to be." Ye Zhao thought for a while and said, "Zhang Yue." ”

"Yes." Zhang Yue appeared silently beside Ye Zhao.

"I asked you to spy on that Li Cloth Village, but there is a gain?" Ye Zhao asked.

Since the Li Cloth Village is the place where Ma An and Ma Yuanyi are connected, this Li Cloth Village must be an important contact place for the Taiping Sect.

"Yes, in the Li Cloth Village, there is a secret passage, which can go straight to the outside of the city, and the Li Cloth Village should be a place to help people sell stolen goods, during this time, there have been several batches of jewelry and jade, but the jade to help is unknown, when someone sent it in through the secret passage." Zhang Yue nodded and said, "It's just that no evidence was found." ”

"Evidence is not needed, when it is extraordinary, it is necessary to do extraordinary things!" Ye Zhao stood up and said loudly: "Pass my order, order Jiang Sheng and Wang Xing to lead the county guards to seal up the Li family cloth village in the name of harboring criminals, and all the cadres in the village will be imprisoned, and no one will be let go, and Fang Yue will be ordered to go to Suiyang school, and the soldiers and horses of Liang Guodu will be ordered on the hour, and a notice will be posted tomorrow, the Taiping Sect will confuse the people with fallacies and plot against them, and in Suiyang, expel all Taiping Sect members, Taiping Sect members, and those who voluntarily break away from the Taiping Sect can be pardoned for their innocence, and those who resist or shield will be punished with the same crime!" ”

"Whoa!"
