After letting Du Yong and Huang Chong follow Zhang Han and Song Hai to do the handover of duties, Xu Xian got up and left the main hall and entered the backyard of the yamen.

The backyard of the Yamen is also the place where the Zhixian family lives, but the backyard here has not only fallen into disrepair, but also been abandoned for a long time, and it is no longer inhabitable.

Bai Suzhen was virtuous, but he wanted his subordinates to repair it and move in, but Xu Xian shook his head directly and decided to rent a courtyard nearby to live.

He will not deliberately eat badly, dress poorly, live badly, and even cause his wife and children to suffer with him.

He is the magistrate of the county, and he wants to rent a yard near the county government in less than an hour, and it is a medium-sized yard with two entrances.

Of course, he didn't take advantage of it, and the rent was given at the market price.

After renting the yard, Xu Xian and his family officially moved in.

At this time, when the sky was dark, the six-room warden and the local squire of the wang clan came over and said that they wanted to hold a reception dinner for him, but Xu Xian directly refused.

In the evening, after dinner, Xu Xian held a meeting in the front hall of the courtyard, and Du Yong and Huang Chong rushed over to report the situation.

Du Yong's handover was quite smooth, after all, he brought 60 tall and strong people, and his strength was no less than that of the barracks.

Huang Chong encountered a little perfunctory, but Huang Chong was an old man, and Song Hai couldn't fool him, so he really handed over in the end.

After listening to Du Yong and Huang Chong's reports, Shen Hao said happily: "My lord is wise, he first entered Yanshan County and took over the military power in one fell swoop. With the military power in hand, at least our security is guaranteed, so that the chaotic situation can be calmly managed. ”

Several other staff members also nodded happily in agreement.

Xu Xian's performance really surprised them, such a wise master, it was much easier for them to be a staff member.

After discussing for half an hour, Xu Xian finally said: "Du Yong, Huang Chong, you must hurry up and take over the military room and the torture room, and find out the distribution of forces in the city. Shen Hao: You are responsible for coordination, co-ordination and organization. Within two days, I will take control of the county seat. ”

"Yes, I will live up to my trust!" Shen Hao, Du Yong and Huang Chong responded in unison.

Xu Xian turned his face to the staff and said: "Tomorrow, I will officially listen to the report of the officer's room, the household room, the ceremonial room and the workshop, you are all in good spirits, I want to hold the financial power in my hands!" ”

"Yes!" Wei Dong, Lu Bin, He Yu, Liu Bao and other staff members stood up and bowed their hands, their eyes dancing with flames.

At the end, Xu Xian announced the adjournment of the meeting, so that everyone could have a good rest.

Due to the rush of time and the insecurity, Xu Xian let all of his horses live in the courtyard temporarily.

Before mastering the county seat, he did not dare to disperse his people, lest he give some people the opportunity to take risks.

In a spacious secret room, the county lieutenant Lu Tieshan, the six-room warden, the head catcher He Zhong of Yanshan County, and the patriarchs of the three major wang clans of Yanshan County sat together, for the newly arrived magistrate Xu Xian today.

"Everyone rebelled directly and killed that dog official!" Lu Tieshan shouted excitedly, "Yanshan County is what we say, the above sent people to investigate, we have all the words, and there is no way from above!" ”

When Xu Xian arrived, he was hit the hardest, and he was directly seized of military power in public.

Without military power, he was terrified in his heart, and if he could not regain military power within a few days, he would have to hide in the city under the pretext of a complaint.

"Don't think I'm the only one who is unlucky, look at his posture, carrying a carload of people to take office! With that dog officer here, none of you can think about living a good life! Lu Tieshan instigated the tunnel with all his might.

Everyone else had a look of hesitation on their faces.

At this moment, suddenly remembered the knock on the door, and everyone immediately returned to silence.

"Come in!" Zhu Xing, the patriarch of the Zhu family, one of the three major clans in Yanshan County, shouted.

This secret meeting was convened by him, and of course it was also instructed by Lu Tieshan.

The door opened, and a spy came in, and reported: "Patriarch, the new magistrate has gathered all his horses in the courtyard and sent people to patrol them. ”

"Got it, continue to monitor closely, and report as soon as there is any movement." Zhu Xingdao.

The spies stepped back, and the door closed again.

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you hear me? This Lord Xu, don't look at him young, but he is bold and cautious, and there must be a master behind him. Li Yuan, the warden of the workshop, said, "Let's wait and see." As the saying goes, the officials who beat with iron are the county magistrates who run water. Maybe he will be transferred away in a few months, and Yanshan County is still our world. What's more, if he wants to govern Yanshan County, he will definitely be inseparable from us. ”

Although the workshop is a bit oily, it is not a powerful and critical department, and Li Yuan really doesn't want to fight to the death with a new county that carries a car of people in office.

Zhang Bing, the warden of the ceremonial room, immediately agreed: "It's just that, you can't do it." Didn't Lord Xu say that the first thing he did when he took office was to suppress bandits? We obeyed him for the time being, let him touch the nail a few times, and he would be able to talk. ”

Among all the people present, he was the only one who had expectations for Xu Xian. Yanshan County's etiquette collapsed, the order was chaotic, and he, the ceremonial warden, was almost a decoration. If order can be restored in Yanshan County, he, the courtier, may be able to gain some power.

"Zhang Bing has some truth." Zhang Handao, the warden of the military room, said, "Let's first instigate the robbers outside to provoke the surnamed Xu, and let his people fight a few battles with the robbers outside, consuming his men." When he is gone, Yanshan County is not what we say? ”

Lu Tieshan immediately objected and shouted.

A group of people quarreled until midnight, and finally reluctantly reached a consensus, that is, to avoid Xu Xian's edge for the time being, and let Xu Xian fight with the robbers.

On the second day, in the hall of the yamen, Xu Xian summoned the officials of the office, the household, the ceremonial room and the workshop to listen to their reports.

Xu Xian sat on the main seat, and behind him stood his five staff, he basically didn't speak, and the staff asked the four wardens. Liu Bao opened his mouth and asked for the account book of the household for the past five years.

Two hours later, after the report was completed, Xu Xian said, "Li Song, you stay, and I will study later." Let's do our part. ”

The other three-room wardens couldn't help but turn their heads to glance at the wardens in the officials' rooms, and Li Song spread his hands in response.

After the meeting ended, Xu Xian took Li Song into the study that had just been cleaned up.

After the official in charge of the internal service delivered the last pot of tea, Xu Xian sent it away and closed the door.

"What do you command, sir?" Li Song asked with a frown in his heart.

Xu Xian smiled and said, "Don't worry, sit down and drink tea first." ”

Saying that, he was about to pour the tea, Li Song hurriedly picked up the teapot first, pretended to please Xu Xian and served a cup of tea to Xu Xian first, and presented it to Xu Xian: "My lord, you drink tea." ”

Xu Xian took the teacup with peace of mind, took a sip, and greeted Li Song: "Sit down, let's talk slowly." ”

"I—I'd better stand and listen to you." Li Song pretended to laugh and said.

Xu Xian smiled and said, "You don't want to sit on it, don't blame me if your legs are numb." Li Song, what do you say is more interesting in our Yanshan County? ”

"What?" Li Song thought that he had heard it wrong, and the style was wrong.
