"Lord Zhou! Wishing the guards, rare guests, please come in, please come in! "Outside Funing County, Zhang Renjie and his team have been stationed here for another three days, and Zhang Renjie has sent two groups of people out to investigate secretly, but there is no news for the time being. He didn't move in the camp, and this Funing County Commander ran to his camp to find him. Before arriving at the camp, Zhang Renjie came out to greet him in person.

"Lord Zhang is young and promising, admire and admire. Please" Zhou County Ling also met Zhang Renjie for the first time, and he was obviously taken aback to see Zhang Renjie so young, but the general's armor on his body cannot be faked. He himself is also very young, he is only thirty years old, and at this age, he has to say that he has some ability, and he is also very proud. But seeing Zhang Renjie ranking in the fourth rank at such a young age, I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart.

"Xia Guan has seen Lord Zhang Dusi!" This Zhu Beibei is also a military attaché, and his rank is two levels lower than Zhang Renjie, and he took a diagonal step out from behind Zhou Xianling and saluted. Zhu Shoubei couldn't tell his age, and the beard on this face covered half of his face, and he was estimated to be nearly forty years old when he heard the voice.

Zhang Renjie also hates this military attache uniform, which is very inconvenient. But there is no way, this reception must be dressed in official uniforms. "Lord Zhou, I wish the guards to be polite, the two of you are here this time, I don't know what happened?" As soon as he entered the camp tent, Zhang Renjie asked.

"Hehe, Lord Zhang went to Funing to suppress bandits on the ground, of course the official as a local parent official wants to come to condole, and the prefect has also sent an official letter a few days ago, asking the official to help with all his might. Today, the official came to see if there is any need here, and if there is a place that needs the assistance of the official, please feel free to ask. Zhou County's face was full of spring breeze, but Zhang Renjie couldn't see sincerity in his eyes.

Zhang Renjie also knew a little in his heart, this Zhou County Order should be said to be very unwelcome to his arrival, and to solve the things on his own turf by himself, this is people's consistent thinking, and there is a possibility, this is it

The two of them may have been connected to the old hammerhead. Although Zhang Renjie didn't know about the situation in Funing, he had also heard many times that many local officials secretly colluded with bandits to share the spoils, and then collected money from the people in the name of suppressing bandits.

"I'm still inexperienced, and I haven't really integrated into this society!" Zhang Renjie's head was spinning at high speed. "Lord Zhou, I wish the guard, this official can be regarded as knowing the difficulties of the two, the old hammer head bandits can really hide, I sent someone out to investigate for several days, there is no news at all, to be honest, I am ready to return tomorrow."

"Leaving tomorrow?!" Zhou County Ling also wished the guards to look at each other, and then Zhou County Ling asked in surprise.

Zhang Renjie made a very embarrassed look: "No way, the army has not moved, the grain and grass go first, I, a few hundred soldiers, eat horses and chew every day, but it costs a lot of silver, plus the two small bandits that were exterminated in front of me have no oil and water at all, it's not that I don't want to stay, but I really can't stay anymore!" Wait for a while, please Lord Zhou, you also send more people out to find out the whereabouts of the old hammer, once there is news, don't make a noise, I will immediately take the soldiers back to kill! ”

"This Lord Zhang should stay for a few more days, and the county will definitely send more people to investigate the traces of the old hammer. Once there is news, Zhang Dusi will be notified that this group of bandits has aroused the anger of the people in Funing, and if they are not removed, the county will not be peaceful! However, this year's grain harvest in this county is not enough, and there is not much food in the official cabin, so the official has sent ten stones of grain, and I hope that Lord Zhang will not be too little! Although Zhou Xianling was a little jealous of Zhang Renjie's youth, he still said sincerely. He has been plagued enough by these bandits, these garrisons in the county are useless at all, and when he sees the bandits, he can only escape, where dare he take the initiative to suppress the bandits.

But at this moment, Zhu Shoubei's face changed slightly, he didn't know that Zhou County ordered someone to send grain and grass, and he wished that Zhang Renjie would leave earlier. Zhu Garrison has not moved here for nearly ten years, and has been doing this garrison, and has long regarded this Funing County as his own territory, and will never allow others to interfere. But Zhang Renjie's official position is higher than him, and he has no choice but to hope that the other party will leave sooner. Zhu Garrison is indeed in contact with the old hammer, the two have colluded for not a year or two, Zhou County Commander has only just been in office for a year and a half, and local affairs are enough for him to be busy, this bandit He really has no ability to clean up, he just wants to suppress the bandits, and Zhu Garrison is an internal response, and Renjie also dispersed early in the morning.

"Zhu Shoubei, I heard that you have been in Funing for many years, and you haven't found any clues of the old hammer?" Zhang Renjie turned his head to Zhu Shoubei and asked.

Zhu Shoubei's face was bitter: "My lord, I have sent people out to investigate many times, but unfortunately there is no result." The old Hammerhead and his gang of bandits were very cunning, and their entrenchment was often changed, and they were also ruthless, and the people sent out by the lowly were found twice, and then they were cut off with one hand and put back. In addition, the number of bandits is large, and I have few men to fight them head-on, so I can only stick to the periphery of the county. ”

"Okay, then so be it, I'll stay for another two days to see if there's any progress, if not, I'll have to go back first. It's hard to come here, but I'm in the barracks, and I don't have anything good to entertain the two, I'm sorry, how about having a light meal here at noon? ”

"Lord Zhang is polite, there are still many things to deal with in the county, so the official will not bother and leave." Zhou County's order arched his hand. At the same time, Zhu Shoubei, like Zhou County's order, arched his hand and left.

Zhang Renjie sent the two out of the barracks, and when he turned around, he immediately ordered Dong Biao: "Dong Biao! You platoon a few clever people secretly ambushed around the county yamen and the garrison yamen. It's likely that one of the two of them is secretly talking to Old Hammerhead, and maybe both of them have problems. You sent someone to keep an eye on it, today they came over not only to send food so kindly, but also to investigate the situation, they suddenly came, and when they saw the appearance of our station, they knew that we were indeed not easy to mess with. If they really have contact with the bandits, they will definitely send someone to contact the bandits when they turn around, and ask the bandits to continue to hide from the limelight. At this time, we can find the bandits' lair! ”

"Good way!" Dong Biao's eyes lit up and he said. "Actually, I hope these two county officials didn't hook up with the bandits."

Zhang Renjie smiled: "Go and do it, remember, you must not startle the snake, I have a hunch that at least one of these two people is related to the old hammerhead." ”

"Don't worry, battalion commander, I'll take people there personally this time. Just dress up as a beggar and make sure that no one will recognize you, and this time you will definitely get something. ”

"Okay, be careful. Second Company Commander! I also inform the brothers to be ready at any time, we may have to retreat in the direction of Andong first! ”

"I understand this, if you really find the bandits' den, you must avoid the bandits' eyes and ears on this side of the county, walk in the direction of Anton, and then sneak around a corner and come back, and catch the bandits off guard!" Zhang Youfa continued excitedly.

It's just that he didn't care at this time, Zhang Renjie's smile was gone. "As long as you can do it, you can't remember what I said. Before I finish my order, you must not interject, as far as you are smart, then why didn't you say it in the first place? You will be punished for running twenty laps around the station, and the next time you will hit twenty boards! ”

"Yes!" Zhang Youfa replied with a bitter face. Dong Biao hadn't left yet, he didn't hold back his laughter, and burst out laughing. "Hahaha, Lao Zhang, when will your problem be changed! Every time! ”

After laughing for a while, Dong Biao began to arrange, he personally selected a team of soldiers, quickly changed into the clothes of ordinary people and beggars, and followed the carriage of Zhou County Lingzhu in several ways, monitoring the movements of these two people at all times. Sure enough, not long after entering the city gate, a soldier beside the Zhu garrison left the carriage, and it seemed that he had really gone to ventilate and report the news!
