On September 29, Wang Yan led his army to leave Linzi County and go to Donglai County. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

As soon as he left, the people of the Qingzhou family breathed a sigh of relief. In a short period of time in Linzi County, Wang Yan killed Xu Zang, destroyed the Xu family, killed Tian Pu and destroyed the Tian family, and countless people died under Wang Yan's knife, which made the Qingzhou family tremble, for fear of accidentally hitting Wang Yan's knife. Wang Yan stayed in Linzi County for one more day, and the people of the family were more worried.

Now, Wang Yan, the murderous butcher, is gone, and the swords hanging above the heads of the major families have completely disappeared. It's just that after experiencing the affairs of Xu Zang and Tian Pu, the family no longer dares to be arrogant, and they all lie dormant and do things in a low-key manner.

Wang Yan led the troops to hurry, and his heart had already flown to Donglai County.

Only now can Wang Yan really have a foothold. Before serving as the county commander of Nancheng County, the official position was too small, the troops were too weak, and even the Taishou of Taishan County had to leave gloomily. When he went to Langya to serve as the county magistrate of Yangdu County, he still had no foundation, he was rootless, and he could encounter risks at any time.

Now in charge of Donglai County, and his father Wang Yun is in charge of Qingzhou, in this case, the Wang family can be said to be a separatist party, and Wang Yan can no longer pay attention to external orders.

The team hurried and drove fast.

However, Donglai County is located in the east of Qingzhou, and from Linzi County to Donglai County, you must first pass through Beihai Country before you can enter Donglai County.

It's been a long journey.

When the army walked out of Linzi County, it entered Guangxian County, which was located in the southeast of Qi State. Guangxian and Beihai State border, and after Wang Yan and his party left Guangxian, they entered Beihai Kingdom. Donglai County is located in the northeast of Beihai Kingdom, Wang Yan did not delay time on the road, and hurried all the way to the northeast. It passed through Pingshou County and Jiaodong County in Beihai Country, and finally entered Luxiang County in the south of Donglai County.

At this time, it was already the middle of October.

The cold wind gradually rose, and the weather gradually cooled down, and it was no longer as hot as it used to be.

It was good weather for the soldiers on the way.

Wang Yan's mood was not happy at all, and his face became even more solemn. After entering Luxiang County, what I saw was a scene full of devastation, the mountains, rivers and fields everywhere were overgrown with weeds, a barren area, sparsely populated along the way, and few people lived.

Closer to the county seat, the villages where the people live are only slightly denser.

It stands to reason that Donglai County is located near the coast, and it is the so-called relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, and relying on the water to eat the water. Located on the coast, it has rich resources, the people should be quite rich, and the county town should be very opposed, but what caught Wang Yan's eyes was a mess.

All the way, that's it.

Wang Yan originally planned to stay in Luxiang County to get a preliminary understanding of the situation in Donglai County, but after seeing the situation in Luxiang County, he didn't have the intention of staying for any longer, so he ordered to rush at full speed and go straight to Huang County, the seat of Donglai County.

Huang County is located in the northernmost part of Donglai County, and is more adjacent to the coast.

The Penglai of later generations is located here.

The army quickly moved north, passing through Dangli County, Qucheng County, and finally reached Huang County.

This day, October 28th.

After a month, Wang Yan and his entourage of more than 1,000 people finally arrived in Huang County.

Outside the city gates, the army lined up.

Wang Yan rode on his horse and looked at the city of Donglai County.

The walls of this city are mottled with uneven holes. The city wall is not high, only about one, and it is the length of the overlord spear in Wang Yan's hand, you can imagine the simplicity of this city.

Compared with Linzi County, it is completely heaven and earth.

It seems that Huangxian is a small town.

The people who came and went inside and outside the city saw the army outside the city, and their eyes were hostile and abrupt.

This situation made Wang Yan feel that the situation was even more serious.

The situation in Donglai County is too weird.

Shi A stood beside Wang Yan and reported: "My lord, after entering the territory of Huang County, I have already sent someone to the county government to deliver the message. The soldier who came back to report the news said that it was indeed the person who informed the county government of the news, and at that time, it was an old man who got the news. It stands to reason that it is impossible for the county government not to know, and someone should come to greet them.

Wang Yan waved his hand and said, "Forget it, don't bother to wait any longer, enter the city"

The situation in Huang County and even Donglai County was like a fog, which worried Wang Yan.

The army began to advance, and at this moment, an old man appeared at the gate of the city, he ran out quickly, rushed to the army formation, and said loudly: "Which lord is Wang Taishou?" ”

When Wang Yan heard this, the expression on his face became strange.

There was no official from the county government to greet him, but an old man who had gone through vicissitudes came. And the old man was dressed plainly and looked very down, is this the person sent by Huang County to greet him?

It's also too frustrating

It's too much to ignore him

Nameless anger grew in Wang Yan's heart.

At this moment, a soldier walked up to Shi Ah and whispered a few words. Shi A took a step forward and reported: "My lord, at that time, the news was passed on to this person

Wang Yan nodded, waved his hand and ordered the army to stop.

After a while, the old man came to the front of the military formation, and he bowed his hand and said, "Dare to ask, which lord is Wang Taishou?" ”

Wang Yan frowned and said, "This official is"

Wang Yan tried to suppress the anger in his heart, this county order of Huang County was too arrogant. No matter what major events are encountered, you should not let a dying old person greet you without saying a word, you should always send someone to say hello in advance.

The old man reported: "The old man came to see Lord Taishou, because there was no one in the county government, so the old man came alone, please forgive Lord Taishou." ”

Wang Yan asked, "What about the county order?" ”

The old man replied: "Lord Huiyu, there is no county order in Huang County."

Wang Yan's face changed, he seemed to understand a little, and asked, "How can there be no county order?" ”

The old man explained: "Since the last county magistrate abandoned the official and left, there has been no county decree in Huang County. Today, there has been no prefectural order for half a year. Even, there is no one to serve as the Taishou of Dongrae County. Because of this, the county government of Huang County was empty, there was not even a single soldier, and only Lao Yu was responsible for cleaning the county office. ”

Wang Yan's eyes showed an incredible look. A county has been vacant for as long as half a year, and even Taishou has been vacant, which is too weird.

"Come with me into town"

Wang Yan suppressed the surprise in his heart and ordered someone to take the old man into the city.

Arriving at the county office, Wang Yan asked Huang Zhong to temporarily station the army near the county government in order to deal with emergencies.

Afterwards, the crowd entered the county office.

In the hall, the guests and hosts are seated.

Wang Yan looked at the old man standing in the hall and asked, "What's your name?" ”

The old man replied respectfully: "Returning to Lord Taishou, the old man's name is Fan Li, and he was originally a servant of the county government. After all the people in the county government were gone, only Lao Yu remained in the county office. ”

Wang Yan said: "From today onwards, you will serve as a housekeeper and take care of the chores of the county government for this official. ”

"Thank you, thank you, thank you."

Fan Li didn't expect him to get a great benefit, and hurriedly kowtowed to thank him.

There was a glimmer of tears in the cloudy eyes. Staying in the county government for many years, he originally planned to spend the rest of his life in the county office, but he didn't expect to get such an errand when he was about to die.

Wang Yan changed his words and said straight to the point: "Now you talk carefully, what's going on in Huangxian?" Why is there a situation where there is a vacancy in the Taishou and the county order? Even if the imperial court did not appoint officials to serve as officials, the village elders, squires, and major families in Huang County should also nominate new people to manage them. ”

Fan Li sighed lightly: "Lord Hui, all this is because the world is not peaceful. ”

Wang Yan asked, "There are thieves in Huang County?" ”

Fan Li nodded and said, "Your Excellency is wise." There are indeed thieves in Huang County, and there are pirates from the sea. However, the problem of Huang County is not just as simple as thieves."

Wang Yan said: "Are there any other questions?" ”

Fan Li replied: "There are still folk customs"

Wang Yan frowned tightly, and said in a deep voice: "People's style? Could it be that Huang County is all Diao people, and they don't obey orders. Thinking of the hostile eyes in the eyes of the people when he first arrived outside the city gate, Wang Yan felt that the people might also have problems.

However, Fan Li shook his head and said, "That's not the case."

Wang Yan became anxious and said, "Make it clear at one time, don't procrastinate." ”
