As long as the Flying Shark Village is still obedient to the Wang family, and Fang Jue has not completely turned his face with the Wang family, then the county magistrate Fang is a guest of honor.

The boss of the boat sent someone to report to the people of the Flying Shark Village, saying that the county magistrate Fang was on the big boat, and the Flying Shark Village really gave face, and immediately sent a small boat to lead the way.

But--here's the trouble!

Fang Juegang put away his mood and thought about his plan after going ashore: what if the other party is innocent? If the other party is really behind the scenes, it will be even more troublesome, the weapon is either hidden in the Flying Shark Village, or hidden somewhere else, how will he act at the opportunity?

"County magistrate, they're going to come up and check."

Fang Jue was stunned for a moment, looked back at the boat boss, and was about to say, "If you want to check, let them check it, and ask me what to do?" ”

But looking at the inquiring look of the boat boss, Fang Jue immediately came to his senses: he is the county magistrate, representing the government, and sitting on this boat is equivalent to connecting the government's face with this boat - have you ever heard of bandits coming to inspect the government openly? It's not just a big joke, it's a big or small issue about the face of the government.

"You go and tell them that there is no cargo on this ship, and I am just stopping by to see the prosperity of Flying Shark Village."

"But ......"

"Huh?"

Seeing Fang Jue's dissatisfied cold eyes, the boat boss had no choice but to step forward and whispered: "My lord, all ships that dock at Flying Shark Village must go through the inspection of Flying Shark Village before they can enter the port to dock and rest, otherwise it will be regarded as having bad intentions towards Flying Shark Village." This is a death order issued by the head of the Wang family himself, and even the owner of the village must not disobey it...... The little man is soft-spoken, you see......"

Fang Jue swept the secretary Xiaohu not far away and nodded.

The boat boss was also clever and hurriedly followed Xiaohu off the boat.

One side is a death order, and the other side is the government's face problem, and naturally both sides will not back down, and the stalemate is in a stalemate, and it gradually becomes noisy.

Fang Jue stood at the bow of the ship expressionlessly and watched, without saying a word: he is the county magistrate anyway, and he negotiated with a few small bandits, which is too cheap.

The Flying Shark Village is so big, and soon, I saw Peng Ziqing coming with a large group of people.

"How did you guys do it, even the big boat of the county magistrate dared to board the ship for inspection? Get out of here......" It sounded like he was suppressing his own people and giving face to County Magistrate Fang, but the next sentence made Secretary Hu's face turn purple with anger.

"But you are loyal, loyal to your duties, iron-faced and selfless, very good, go back to Steward Zhao to receive fifty oceans."

The heavier the reward, the heavier the meaning of not giving face in person!

As a secretary, you must have the courage to stand up for the leader and die! Secretary Hu endured his anger, turned around and glanced at one of his subordinates, and saw that the subordinate immediately turned around to report the matter here to the county magistrate, and then hugged his fists with a smile on Peng Ziqing's face and said: "Master Pengzhai, I ......"

As soon as he spoke, he was directly interrupted by Peng Ziqing again without giving face: "Stop!" Stop! Respect and humility cannot be bad, and the title must be even more cautious, I am no longer the owner of the village here, I am now the commander of the third battalion of the Baojing Regiment. If you want to look up to me, call me Camp Commander Peng, otherwise, you can call Lao Peng. ”

Secretary Hu gritted his teeth and endured it, and said, "Camp Chief Peng, our county magistrate Fang has traveled to Guibao Land, and when he saw the earth-shaking changes here, he wanted to go ashore to inspect it." But your men have to come on board to inspect it, you see......"

"Hey~! Xiaohu, it's not that I don't give face to the county magistrate, but I can't either, the rules for stopping the boat for inspection are set by the head of the family, not to mention the children below, even the owner of the village, and I don't dare to disobey it, otherwise, whoever violates it will die. Saying that, Peng Ziqing smiled and hugged his fist at Secretary Hu and said, "Xiao Hu, I have to bother you to say a few kind words to County Magistrate Fang, please understand the difficulties of waiting." ”

Seeing that Secretary Hu finally couldn't help but show anger on his face, Peng Ziqing chuckled and said: "County Magistrate Fang and my head of the family are friends, so familiar with each other, naturally there will be no mistakes, and I will understand the difficulties of waiting for me...... Please also ask the county magistrate Fang to rest assured, that is, to go through the motions, let me wait for an explanation in front of the head of the family, so as not to be buried alive. ”

"It's really too much to take human life as a child's play for a little face." As soon as Peng Ziqing's words fell, he saw Fang Jue's voice coming from behind the crowd. Everyone hurriedly got out of the way, and County Magistrate Fang walked up to Peng Ziqing with a smile on his face, hugged his fist, and said with a smile: "In this way, please ask Camp Chief Peng to go up and check alone, and we will wait for you below." ”

Peng Ziqing deliberately didn't take Secretary Hu in his eyes, just hoping that Secretary Hu couldn't help but quarrel with him angrily, and at that time, he just took the opportunity to drive away this group of unkind weasels. But in front of the county magistrate, he had to give him face. Seeing that the other party insisted on entering the Flying Shark Village, Peng Ziqing thought about it like electricity, and felt that Fang Jue's proposal was the best way to compromise, so he could only agree.

"Thank you County Magistrate Fang for your understanding, I am offended."

With that, he really went on the boat alone to inspect it.

Originally, I thought that Peng Ziqing was just going through the motions and giving an explanation up and down, but he never expected that his inspection was extremely serious, and it took more than an hour for him to lie down and check the gap of the splint to see if any opium grains fell into it.

County Magistrate Fang was also clever, and when he saw Peng Ziqing being so serious, he immediately thought of a possibility: Peng Ziqing was deliberately delaying time.

Hurry up and urge Peng Ziqing. At this point, he was still pestered by Peng Ziqing's nonsense for more than ten minutes, but he became more and more firm in the guess of the county magistrate Fang just now.

With this thought, after Fang Jue went ashore, he didn't come to the shore, he pointed directly to the warehouse, and said with a smile: "Camp Chief Peng, I have been in politics for many years and have never been to the warehouse, so I have to take a good look at it today." ”

originally thought that Peng Ziqing would find an excuse to delay, but he didn't expect Peng Ziqing to agree with a smile on his face.

Aren't weapons hidden in warehouses?

Just when Fang Jue was about to find another excuse to take a look elsewhere first, he saw Peng Ziqing glance at a guy beside him, and that guy immediately frowned. In an instant, Fang Jue was ecstatic as if he had won a huge prize: Okay! It's really in the warehouse. Hum! Wang Shihua, you wait for me, if I find that batch of weapons, see if I don't knock you hard!

In order to prevent Peng Ziqing from sending people to transfer items, the method took the lead and walked quickly towards the warehouse, and when he came to the gate, he stopped and smiled at Secretary Hu: "Xiao Hu, you have been with me for so many years, and you haven't been to the warehouse to see it, right?" ”

"Yes, sir!"

"With so many warehouses, it must be able to grow a lot. It's a rare opportunity, but you don't have the time to see it all at once. Otherwise, let's look at it separately, and then exchange what we have seen and heard, so that you and I will both see it. ”

"Yes! I'll start with the big warehouse at the back. ”

After speaking, Secretary Hu forgot to even salute Fang Hua, and hurriedly led a group of people to the warehouse at the back.

"Please wait a minute, I'm ......"

"Camp Commander Peng, are you waiting? Let's go in and see the riches of the royal family. As soon as Fang Jue saw Peng Ziqing speak, he hurriedly grabbed Peng Ziqing while talking, and saw that Secretary Hu heard Peng Ziqing's voice and walked faster, and he was very satisfied and pulled Peng Ziqing towards the first warehouse, and said comfortably: "Camp Commander Peng, I won't tell you, I'm a layman here, and I'm very curious about everything." I'll have to trouble you to explain more to me later, and it's best to take out a little bit of everything, so that I can add some knowledge...... You can rest assured, but if there is any damage, I will absolutely compensate for the cost. ”

Fang Jue is face was smug and anxious, Peng Ziqing was just the opposite: his face was anxious, and he reminded his subordinates to hurry up and find a way, but he was extremely proud in his heart: Boy! Play with Lao Tzu, you are not qualified. Lao Tzu will play with you casually, and let you take it seriously. I don't want to think about it, even if Lao Tzu wants to hide the weapons in the warehouse, it is impossible to move the goods in full view of everyone in broad daylight, leaving you clues to trace - in fact, those two ships of weapons have long been transported by four large boats, personally escorted by Peng Shuihu, and at this time they are hiding in a hidden reed swing on the waterway thirty miles away from here, just waiting for it to get dark so that they can be put on the shore, and then protected as planned, and when Wang Shihua purchases a batch of weapons from the outside and passes by by water, they will be mixed in, so that It's hard for others to find out even if they want to.

Fang Jue's action of 'increasing knowledge and knowledge' almost didn't let go of the rat's nest, and really every cargo box had to be checked to make sure that it was not a weapon, and after being disappointed, he went to the next box with hope...... Peng Ziqing was also happy to spend time with him, and he cooperated very authentically, and even played with his subordinates who were also very good-natured.

But there was one thing that made Fang Jue very dissatisfied, and Peng Ziqing said loudly: "This is the county magistrate of Jiangyin County, Fang Juefang, he wants to open the box and check it...... No! It's to grow out of the box, I don't dare to disobey, do you dare to disobey? ”

Don't say that the word remains the same, even the words that were deliberately said wrong in the middle did not change in pitch at all, and it was clear that he wanted to take the opportunity to disgust Fang Jue and stink his reputation. It's hard to refute it, so he can only hold back his anger and laugh haha.

That's it, by the time all the boxes were checked, it was already dark. In the end, after inspecting the last big box with a torch, Fang Jue's anger rushed to the top of his head, and he stared at Peng Ziqing with a blue face...... At this time, he finally came back to his senses - Peng Ziqing was playing with him and deliberately taking him into the gutter, and his face was planted today.

But the problem is that everyone knows what's going on, but it's hard to find out, and if they are played, they can only be dumb and eat coptis--they know it.

"County Magistrate Fang, you see that it's getting dark, do you want to continue to go to various places in the cottage to increase your knowledge, or do you plan to eat first?"

Not to mention the tone of this hanger, it is the original intention of these words, and it is also full of teasing.

Fang Jue's face turned a little blue, but his endurance was very strong, and he replied without anger at all: "Then eat first." ”

Peng Ziqing smiled and nodded.

But at this moment, Secretary Hu suddenly said a few words in Fang Jue's ear, Fang Jue's face was stunned, he looked up among the crowd, and then asked suspiciously: "Camp Chief Peng, I heard that your son-in-law is a master of the water, and he is inseparable from you on weekdays, why don't you see him today?" ”

As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted Peng Ziqing's attention - he was finally asked to the edge of the truth.

"Oh~! What do you say about him? He's not here. ”

"Absent?"

"Yes! Recently, my Wang family has been buying more and more grain outside, but the fleet is going to be overhauled, no, with the leased fleet not yet ready to return, I quickly sent him to the outside to transport a batch of grain back. ”

It sounds flawless, but the problem is - what a coincidence!

Fang Jue immediately thought in his heart: Don't Peng Shuihu really risk going into the water to salvage and get injured, and deliberately avoid me for fear of revealing flaws when he sees me, right?

With more and more suspicions, he and Peng Ziqing began to fight again......

On the other side, Erhu looked at the bloody head in front of him, and was very entangled: should he take the opportunity to kill him, or should he do it according to the orders of the head of the family?
