When the county residents near the cell heard the sound of the fight stopped, lit an oil lamp, and looked into the alley, but saw stumps and blood all over the ground, and ran to report to the officials with both hands and feet, Dian Wei, Yan An and others had already left Dong'e at night, one to the south, and the other to the east.

As for the county officials who were knocked unconscious and thrown by the city gate, what kind of situation they would look like when they woke up, it was not within their consideration.

At this time, a gust of night wind blew, and the heavy smell of blood in front of the prison door drifted into the distance, far away from the county office, near a house in the north city gate, the oil lamp seemed to flicker a little, and an old servant stepped forward to look, added some lamp oil, and closed the open window, and left the room backwards.

"Lord Wang, I have already agreed with the Zhang and Du families, they will fully support the adults at that time, as long as the Xue family and Yang Xu are resolved, the entire Dong'e will be in the hands of the adults. At that time, didn't the widow of Li Yong's family voluntarily climb onto the adult's kang? ”

In the room, the county Cheng Wang Du sat cross-legged, listening to the person opposite, the curvature of the corners of his mouth gradually opened up with the deepening of the topic, but at the end, he suddenly smiled, and the tea bowl in his hand "do" sounded, knocking on the wooden table: "Zhang Yuanchang, don't forget your identity......"

"Huh, identity? Oh, by the way, I almost forgot that I was Orion, but there is also the identity of Qu Shuai's envoy, I don't know my lord, which one are you asking? ”

In the dim light, sitting opposite Wang Du, it was suddenly Uncle Zhang, he picked up the tea bowl on the table and took a sip, and then spread his hands with an innocent expression.

"You! ……”

Seeing that Wang Du was a little annoyed, Zhang Yuanchang put down the tea bowl and smiled: "Lord Wang, it's actually very strange. You see, if I came to see you as a hunter, I would only be driven away by the steward of your mansion, but I came as an envoy of Qu Shuai, but I was treated as a guest of honor. But I'm still me, and I haven't changed at all. ”

"What the hell are you trying to say?" Wang Du frowned.

He was originally from a poor family, and a few years ago, he was lifted in the township examination, but he failed in the examination, and in desperation, he scattered all his family wealth, and after stuffing Zhang Rang and others with a few heavy gifts, he finally got a real shortage of Dong'e County.

However, when he arrived in Dong'e full of joy, he found that the entire Dong'e was under the control of Yang Xu, the county commander. All the decrees issued from him, after they are distributed, they will return to Yang Xu's hands after going around in a circle. After some deletion and correction, it was distributed to the county officials, and the taste of the decree had already changed.

Later, he realized that it was not a way to go on like this, so he hurriedly invited Yang Xu to a banquet and prepared to talk about the governance plan at the banquet, but he didn't expect Yang Xu to come, but he just came in and greeted him, dropped a sentence, and swaggered away

"Wang boy, what this Dong'a looks like now is, and what it will look like in the future. If you keep to yourself, the county government will leave you a place, and if you are still so ignorant of the so-called messing around, don't blame me Yang for being ruthless. ”

At that time, Wang Du was full of ambition, and after being so humiliated by Yang Xu, he thought of resigning on the spot.

The next day, he did this, but as soon as the resignation letter was written, the county government came with the news that the county lieutenant went out of the city to crusade against the Yellow Turban Thieves, but was hacked to death by the Yellow Turban Thieves.

There was no way, he could only be patient, temporarily take over the city defense, and lead the men, women and children of Dong'e to resist the counterattack of the Yellow Turban thieves.

When General Huangfu led the forbidden army north and completely relieved the siege of Yanzhou, Wang Du's heart to resign was also light.

Not long after, Li Yong took office, and I heard that he had been a rich spring chief and his family was rich. However, just a few days after taking office, he, like Wang Du, was suppressed by Yang Xu.

Subsequently, after Wang Du and he consciously got close to him a few times, the two reached a tacit understanding and joined forces to resist Yang Xu, and gradually, they also snatched some real power from Yang Xu.

However, just when the power in Yang Xu's hands was constantly being eaten away by them, this afternoon I heard the news that Li Yong was stabbed to death.

quickly summoned the county soldiers to rush to the scene, and the first thing Wang Du saw was Li Yong lying in a pool of blood. After saying a few words, seeing that Dian Wei still wanted to resist arrest, he really had the idea of killing Dian Wei on the spot, but Yang Xu appeared.

After Yang Xu appeared, he solved the matter in a few words, and looking at his appearance, he actually had the meaning of calming things down.

The rabbit died and the dog cooked, this thought could not be suppressed in Wang Du's mind.

Then, when he returned home, when he heard that Yu Poison had sent an envoy to the door, he let the other party in almost without thinking about it.

After meeting face-to-face, he found out that the other party was an acquaintance, Orion from the county seat, Zhang Yuanchang. I remember that he went on a long trip at this time last year and didn't come back until the beginning of this year, and it seems that it was during this time that he got acquainted with Yu Poison and others.

Seeing that Wang Du suddenly fell into memory, Zhang Yuan gently knocked on the table with his knuckles, and saw that his gaze moved over, before he continued: "What I want to talk about is identity, you see that Li Yong, who commanded the county soldiers before, was high, and the servants in the house all looked like they could call the wind and rain when they went out, but now Li Yong was killed by a reckless man, those orphans and widows, who will remember them?" ”

"I'm afraid that in a few days, those housekeepers and subordinates in the house will start to run their own way, and maybe they will touch some valuable things. You see, this identity ......" Zhang Yuanchang said this, gesturing with his hand at eye level, and then moved to the wooden table, "As soon as a person dies, there is nothing." ”

"What the hell are you going to say!"

Wang Du became more and more agitated, and he didn't understand what he was talking about.

"Forget it, I'll just talk in vain." Zhang Yuanchang shrugged his shoulders, and then his expression became serious again, "Lord Wang, Qu Shuai will let me bring a word, who cares about this Dong'e City, he doesn't care, what he cares about is a thousand taels of gold and 10,000 loads of grain." ”

"10,000 loads of grain? That's too much......"

Seeing Wang Du's embarrassed frown, Zhang Yuanchang smiled lightly, revealing his pale yellow teeth: "At that time, the Xue family will be copied, are you still afraid that you won't be able to get together the grain?" ”

Hearing him mention the Xue family for the second time today, Wang Du glanced at him, and then said: "This Xue family is not as easy to deal with as you imagined, especially those guards under him, you also saw it in the afternoon, that guy named Dian Wei is brave, Yang Xu received the money of the Xue family, and he will definitely take care of it." ”

"Oh, I almost forgot to tell my lord." Zhang Yuanchang patted his head and said naturally, "After Qu Shuai knew about Na Dian Wei, he arranged for someone to go tonight, even if it was a meeting gift for you." ”

"Qu Shuai sent someone?" Wang Du snorted, squinted his eyes and said, "Chaoge is not close to here, even if you use a fast horse, you may not be able to run back and forth without rest for a day and a night, I think, you sent someone there, right?" ”

"You think so, yes."

Zhang Yuanchang smiled, picked up the tea bowl and took another sip, seeing that everything was back on track, he was in a good mood, and from a distance, he saw Wang Du's housekeeper running over in a panic, probing his brain inside, and couldn't help but raise his chin, motioning Wang Du to look over: "Look, the result seems to be out." ”

Wang Du hated the feeling of being controlled, and after pouring a cup of cold tea and drinking it, he beckoned and motioned for the housekeeper to come over.

After the housekeeper came in, he first glanced at Zhang Yuanchang with a strange expression, and then trotted to Wang Du's side and whispered something.

Zhang Yuanchang listened quietly at first, but when he saw that the master and servant glanced at him from time to time, and the conversation was extraordinarily long, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and he only heard Wang Du's voice faintly: "...... How many people died...... Well, the East Gate ......"

There seemed to be a little deviation from the actual plan, but Zhang Yuanchang only thought that a few green forest heroes had died, and it wasn't until the housekeeper went out with a sneering smile on his face that he realized that things were not so simple.

"Eighteen."

Wang Du saw Zhang Yuanchang's puzzled gaze move over, and his index finger unconsciously tapped back and forth in the air, "Zhang Yuanchang, your appeal is not bad, you can find so many good players in the rivers and lakes in half a day's work to do this murderous business." ”

"What the hell is going on?" The corners of Zhang Yuanchang's eyebrows twitched slightly, and twitched again.

"Haha, doesn't there still look like there's nothing missing in front? Then guess what. Wang Du looked at his anxious appearance, secretly cool.

"Eighteen? No, it should be nineteen people......" Zhang Yuanchang vaguely guessed something, and stood up in an uproar, "Huang Aniu and He Feijian, who died?" ”

"Say! What the hell is going on! ”

Seeing Zhang Yuanchang's cold eyes shooting over, Wang Du had the illusion of being targeted by a hungry wolf, quietly swallowed his saliva, and said truthfully: "There is no news yet, I only know that there are two groups of people robbing the prison, and in the end, there was a fight between the two parties, two corpses were left in the cell, and there were sixteen outside the cell, the cell head and the jailer were fine, but Dian Wei was missing, and there was no body for him, so he should have escaped." ”

"There was also an accident at the east gate, and all the county soldiers on duty were knocked unconscious, and when they woke up, they found that there were traces of the city gate opening and closing, combined with the things on the other side of the cell, Dian Wei should have been rescued."

"Bastard! Who is it! Who the hell is it! ”

Zhang Yuanchang was furious, slapped it down, and with a "snap", the wooden table was shattered into pieces under Wang Du's nose.

"Whew...... Call...... Whew......"

For a moment, he took three deep breaths in a row before he could barely suppress the anger in his heart, but there was still a cold light in his eyes, and he was no longer as polite to Wang Du as before: "Lord Wang, I have said everything that should be said, whether Dian Wei is dead or not, at least it is impossible for him to appear by Xue Hu's side again, I think, it is better for you to make a decision as soon as possible." Don't be like Li Yong, who missed the opportunity, there is no regret medicine in this world. ”

"You...... What do you mean? ”

"Hmph, farewell!"

Zhang Yuanchang looked at Wang Du's frightened eyes, sneered, turned around and walked out.
