Chapter Seventy-Seven: Which Is the Official?

On the evening after leaving the camp, Wang Zheng led people to the Jinshui River.

"Mr. Qian, at this rate, at most tomorrow you will be able to reach the Jinshui River, and then you will have a good old age for the white strip in the waves!" 、

Standing here and looking north, there is a plain in the distance, and near it is a Zhuangzi that has been empty for an unknown amount of time, a small stream crosses it, and at the foot is a flat field, and the ground is covered with a layer of fine sand.

Wang Zheng nodded, this side should be included in the scope of the Inspection Division, and said, "Tell me to go down and camp here tonight." ”

"Howler!"

Wang Zheng gave an order, and the shouts of the commanders came and went, and the soldiers hurriedly got busy, and they could finally rest after walking for a long day.

A pikeman put his spear on the ground, raised his sledgehammer at the stake, and turned around before he could smash it:

"Brother Heizi, you haven't finished telling us about the Wuwen River last time, let's talk about it after setting up camp tonight."

Heizi glanced at Wang Zheng, as if he hadn't heard it, this is why he nodded excitedly, suddenly reacted, and pretended to be stern and shouted:

"It's better to set up camp soon, it's too late to put out the meal."

A few soldiers suddenly felt their bellies growling, and this was the beginning of the ding-dong dong.

After camping, it was time to put the meal, and after lining up to receive a big pot of rice, everyone gathered around the bonfire to say something about what was not, and the Yijing veterans who fought last time recalled the last time and told the recruits with a voice.

At first, the recruits listened as cowhides, but when the veterans uncovered their shirts and revealed scars, the recruits no longer doubted it.

One of the recruits stood up and said, "Usually, I thought that the heroes under Lord Wendeng Camp were not easy to get along with, but in the past few months, I have also found that everyone is the same." ”

Huang Yang got up and smiled: "Yes! Everyone is the same, the adults said, there are not so many things to say in the Wendeng camp, come in as brothers, everyone practice hard, go into battle to kill a few more bandits for your family, maybe you can be a sentry like me in the future. ”

"Hey, hey."

The recruits nodded, some kept giggling, and some suddenly fell silent, but there seemed to be something more in their eyes.

Wang Zheng noticed this incident very early, but he didn't say a word, and this incident also reminded him that if he had the opportunity in the future, he could set up such a position in the army, similar to the political commissar in the modern army, which played a big role.

Now everyone doesn't seem to feel anything, and the laughter along the way doesn't seem to miss their family at all, but Wang Zheng knows in his heart that this is just a superficial phenomenon, and the happier he says, the more sad he secretly becomes.

His brows were tightly locked, Wang Zheng squatted on one side, always feeling that something was wrong, would Baitiao in the waves not think that he would take someone to copy his lair?

The land of Ninghai is barren, and the Wuwen River valley is close to the water source, so it stands to reason that planting some crops here will have a good harvest, and the surrounding people should also have more.

Wang Zheng saw this all the way, but this was not the case, after taking people out of the camp, the further north they went, the more sparsely populated, and later they could only see empty villages.

The miserable scene in the Wuwen River Basin Wang Zheng has seen it, and it is still the River Dragon King who knows how to restrain his subordinates, but Wang Zheng has seen some of the poles in Baitiao's hand in this wave, none of which are fuel-efficient lamps.

On the way, Wang Zheng also learned from the refugees that there were water thief leaders at both ends of the Jinshui River in three days and took people out of the bay to the nearby Zhuangzi village for a walk.

The lighter thing is to ask for some money and snatch some rice millet, and the more serious thing is to force people into people's houses and smash them, and that kind of robbery and murder behavior occurs every day, and the people along the river have people mourning every day and suffer from it.

Water bandits are rampant, domineering in the township, the government at first saw that Wuwen River was not so fierce, and wanted to start from there, but was defeated by the two brothers of the River Dragon King and Langli Jiao, so they no longer paid attention to it, turned a blind eye, and couldn't make trouble in the state city anyway.

The attitude of the government also made the water thieves more rampant, and no one stopped their development, and slowly the people living around the Jinshui River also fled from the whole village, and now there are only ruins and tiles left.

Some people are aware of the changes in other places at the moment, and the gates of the inspection department are all over the east of Ninghai, and the households in various health centers also work and eat for the inspection department.

Wang Zheng has been in office for more than a year, and the name of the inspection department is much more famous in the township than in the government.

On the one hand, salt is seized in various places, and those who encounter big and small things when they have nothing to do must also be in charge, and the inspection is the head snake of the land, and the authority and knife handle are placed there.

Wang Zheng is also the general manager of Wendeng Camp and the guard, and it is too late for those officials of the yamen to catch and hide, where will anyone dare to say that the matter of Yanding is out of scope, isn't that too long.

After a long time, the people are used to going to Yanding to solve problems.

Where the inspection department has set up a pass, for the people over there, it doesn't matter whether there is an official government yamen or not, because anyone who goes to the pass to find salt when he encounters a grievance, no matter how big or small the matter is, he will definitely be able to investigate it and make decisions for you, and the efficiency is surprisingly high.

Not long ago, all the tenant farmers in the left hundred households of Jinshan saw that the people who worked for the inspection department were living a good life, so they were moved and thought about adding to it to get a piece of the pie.

Since the inspection department set up a pass nearby and built a few more villages, the tenant farmers on hand of these hundred households have run nearly 30% in less than two months.

Originally, he was holding his stomach, but when he heard that someone was going to run away, the hundred households were furious, and they found the guards to beat the tenant farmer violently and still put him in prison, whether he lived or died, he was not even charged.

Speaking of a Pingshui marriage, the hundred households have a daughter who gave birth to a pretty good, and when she heard that her father was arrested by the hundred households, she immediately cried bitterly, but how can a weak woman fight with the powerful and powerful hundred households with soldiers under her hands.

The people in the neighborhood felt sorry for this woman after knowing this, and suddenly someone asked:

"There is a Zhuangzi near here, and there is also a pass, I heard that it is good to find salt in case of trouble, why don't you try it?"

Within a few days, the door of Zhuangzi was knocked open, and the helper was startled when he saw dozens of people coming outside early in the morning, and hurriedly called the head of the salt in Zhuangzi.

When the leader came out, he took more than a dozen people, and deliberately touched his waist knife to prevent accidents, but as soon as he saw him, these people knelt down for the leader of Yanding, crying, and Ren is heart was also moved.

The leader of the salt ding agreed as soon as his heart softened, but the other party was a hundred households in the guard, and the little boss who was in charge of more than a dozen salt dings did how to be the master, and it was reported layer by layer at the moment, and finally this matter came to Niu Pingliang's hands.

Niu Pingliang had just come back from Wendeng to see Wang Zheng at that time, and he didn't pay attention to it after hearing that it was a small guard house with 100 households, and after the investigation was true, he rushed to the 100 households with dozens of salt dings.

At first, the hundred households were still hard-mouthed, and some people around him reminded him that Niu Pingliang was Wang Zheng's henchman who stayed in Jinshanzuo, and even the government couldn't do it, and the legs of the hundred households were weak.

In the end, the tenant farmer was naturally released, but he did not go to Zhuangzi to help, but was directly taken to his house by Niu Pingliang respectfully.

It's also funny to say, Niu Pingliang saw the tenant farmer's daughter just like Zhu Bajie saw Chang'e, no matter how Yanding pulled, he couldn't walk.

The girl is introverted, and Niu Pingliang is also secretly willing to make decisions for her, although Niu Pingliang is arrogant in plain life, he is also an honest man inside.

After pulling hands once, the girl didn't do much, Niu Pingliang kept saying that he had pulled someone's hand and was responsible for others, and he was married after the New Year.

The girl was shy and didn't speak, but the tenant farmer was not lightly shocked, a powerful son-in-law fell from the sky, and the background was still high, and even asked Niu Pingliang if he was joking.

Niu Pingliang talked about this matter but it was serious and terrible, and the tenant farmer saw that he didn't seem to be cheating, so he nodded in agreement, and the matter was settled.

As for now, Niu Pingliang, who is far away in Jinshanzuo, is busy entering the cave room.

Therefore, the people everywhere were cheering when they heard that Wang Zheng sent troops to conquer the Jinshui River, which is the only cancer east of Ninghai at the moment.
