Zhang Zai, who was far away in the Yin Pavilion, didn't know that his sworn brother was planning to marry his sister to him, and his purpose of swearing with Zhen Yan was not so pure. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

When he got to his position, he was more concerned about interests, and he was in order to get the support of the Zhen family after showing his strong ability.

After all, it is still too reluctant to rely on his own army, which will restrict him from expanding his territory.

He had no family to help him, was regarded by the family as a member of the eunuch family, and was destined to be the enemy of the family, lacking sufficient financial resources, so the merchant became his preferred target.

The more famous merchants in the Three Kingdoms period, Chen Liuwei's family, Xuzhou Mi's family, Wuji's Zhen family, as well as Jiangdong's Lu family, Yizhou's Wu family, and now the Zhen family automatically comes to the door, how can Zhang Zai let it go.

Of course, he will not treat the Zhen family as a cow, what he wants to do is a win-win situation.

Not to mention this beforehand, now he is having a headache for the family in the city.

Since the recruitment list was posted, Zhang Zai selected a large number of poor children to engage in politics, and in two months, not only filled the vacancies of the officials of the Taishou Mansion, but he also installed people in many county offices, and naturally cleared out many children of the family in the county government, so his relationship with the family has also deteriorated a little, but they are also restrained from each other.

Recently, some families have been making a lot of noise, and Zhang Zai is trying to find a way to deal with these things.

There are a total of 14 counties in Yanmen, and only four counties are in his hands, and the rest of the counties are controlled by the family.

There are 800 soldiers stationed in each county, and Wang Bao, the county commander, has about 4,000 county soldiers in his hands, plus each family has private soldiers, if he forces the rebel family, then he will face an army of more than 30,000 people.

Although he was confident that he could wipe out these 30,000 with the 5,000 men in his hands, the remaining troops he had would definitely not exceed 3,000.

In addition, many families in the city and the Xiongnu, Xianbei has colluded, once the war starts, the 10,000 defenders guarding the frontier may not be able to resist the offensive of the alien race, when the time comes, they will be attacked at both ends, even if they win, all the previous efforts will be in vain.

Zhang Zai was big for a while, but what made him feel strange was that the two sides had always been unhappy before, and the family disobeyed his orders, but there was no blatant obstruction, why suddenly the family began to jump up and down, obstructing Zhang Zai's decree.

This is a bit strange, and I'm afraid it's not a good sign.

So he ordered someone to go to the Intelligence Department and invited the commander of the Intelligence Department to come here, and Xu Guangqi and the three of them were also invited here by him.

The bad guy is the intelligence agency set up by Zhang Zai, and he is a shrewd person selected from the bandit captives who have been recruited and suppressed several times.

Bad people set up bad handsome and bad generals, responsible for presiding over the work of various places, with reference to the system of Jinyiwei operation, as for the name, originally wanted to take Jinyiwei, but think about it, the name of bad people is more appropriate.

The bad handsome soon came to the Taishou Mansion with Xu Guangqi.

The bad handsome face wears a bronze mask, except for Zhang Zai, no one has ever seen his true face, even Xu Guangqi.

"Just now I received a secret report from the officials of Guangwu County, the price of grain in Guangwu City has risen by fifty percent, and there are rumors that the Xiongnu are preparing to invade Yanmen, and now the people of Guangwu are panicking, and the nearby villages and towns have been affected." Zhang Zai handed the secret report in his hand to a few people.

After seeing this, the bad handsome immediately knelt down and said in fear: "It's a dereliction of duty, please forgive the lord." ”

Zhang Zai looked at the bad handsome, his fingers lightly tapped on the table, and after a while, he said: "Thinking that the bad people are just starting out, they can't monitor the whole county, so I won't pursue it this time, but if there is a next time, there are many people staring at this position." ”

The bad handsome hurriedly nodded yes, and at the same time swore an oath: "So next time, the lord can cut off the head of the lowly position, and the lowly position will never complain." ”

Zhang Zai looked at the bad guy and said: "Get up, this bad guy wants people to give people, ask for money to give money, and give you half a year to infiltrate all the families in Yanmen as soon as possible, but the planned place can't stop." ”

"No." Bad Shuai sighed in his heart, half a year was enough time for him to install spies in various families.

Xu Guangqi on the side looked at the information in his hand, and the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, this Guangwu County was controlled by the Xu family, and the people of the Chengwang family in the county in the city, the county lieutenant was the brother of the head of the Xu family, and it was too blatant for them to do so.

"Lord, what kind of backing does this Xu family have?" Xu Guangqi didn't know much about the details of the various families in Yanmen.

The bad handsome man on the side got Zhang Zai's signal and replied for him: "This Xu family is just a small family, and the ancestors have only been out of one county, and they have no backers. ”

"That's even more wrong, he doesn't have a backer to be so bold from a small family?"

"This ......"

"Leave that alone, do you have any way to deal with it?" Jang Jae interrupted the conversation between the two.

Xu Guangqi pondered for a while, and said helplessly: "I can't touch these families yet, for the sake of today's plan, I can only open the treasury, first push down the price of grain, and at the same time post notices to appease the people, and then deal with it after finding out the reason." ”

Even Xu Guangqi didn't have an idea, let alone other people.

"Then do it first, and you go down and prepare." Zhang Zai was a little unwilling in his heart, he was calculated for no reason, and he didn't know who the enemy was, this feeling of powerlessness really made him feel very irritable.

Suddenly, the bad handsome man on the side said: "Lord, a few days ago, I received a news that the head of the Yanmen Wang family had entertained a stranger in Qingyun Tower, which may be related to this matter. ”

"Really?" Jang Jae asked excitedly.

"I am willing to vouch for my head."

"Give you the highest authority, give a certain check, and a certain person must know who is calculating so-and-so!" In the end, Zhang Zai's eyes were full of murder.

……

Zhang Zai and the others were divided into two routes, Xue Rengui followed Xu Guangqi's method, took a notice stamped with the official seal of Taishou, and led the troops to escort grain and grass to Guangwu overnight, while Zhang Liao cooperated with the bad handsome to investigate the mysterious stranger who appeared in Wang's house.

In the past two months, Zhen Yan has transported a total of 100,000 catties of iron ore and 30,000 stone of grain, with a total value of more than 50,000 gold, which also makes Zhang Zai have a deeper understanding of the Zhen family.

Thinking that at the beginning, he extorted thousands of gold from the Huns, not only opened up the relations between the DPRK and the country, but also had surplus money to support the army, this Zhen took out 50,000 gold without blinking, this financial strength is really quite terrifying.

In recent months, whether it is building roads or water trucks, Taishoufu has done a lot of practical things for the people, so its status in the hearts of the people is still very high.

But this is destined to be the end of the matter.

At night, the bad handsome secretly entered the Taishou Mansion and met Zhang Zai.

"My lord, I have made it clear, the Wang family entertained the housekeeper of the Bingzhou Assassin Mansion that day." The bad handsome told Zhang Zai the news he had found.

"And the state of the assassin history, Ding Yuan?" Zhang Zai muttered to himself, and then said to the bad handsome: "This matter is like this, you just pretend not to know and rot in your heart." ”

The bad handsome said a little hurriedly: "This... That's it? "He seems to be desperate to deal with Wang.

Zhang Zai looked at the bad handsome and sighed in his heart, if it weren't for the fact that there was no one in his hands, he wouldn't be able to sit in this position with the current bad handsomeness.

Zhang Zai didn't explain any more, and directly ordered him to go back, and then called Xu Guangqi to his side and told him the information that the bad handsome had investigated.

Xu Guangqi also felt that the matter was tricky, Ding Yuan knew it, and he was a close confidant of the general.

This is clearly aimed at them.

Xu Guangqi asked, "What is the next step for the lord?" ”

"Respond to all changes with the same, now is not the time to conflict with them, write it down first, and this account will be settled together next year." Zhang Zai said this very confidently, as if something would change next year.

Since Zhang Zai decided to endure it, Xu Guangqi breathed a sigh of relief, and he was not admonishing, he was really afraid that Zhang Zai's head would be hot and he would make a move to the family and disrupt the previous deployment.
