Chapter 22: The First Step of Ambition (Part I)

Perhaps, even Fang Yun never thought that forcibly taking Du Xun away would have such a benefit.

The Yellow Turban Army is from a poor family or from the common people, so it is not recognized by the family, but Du Xi is different, he is from a real family, and he is also the eldest son, so it is said that all the resources of the Du family will be inclined to his side.

Du Gen still served as the Taishou of Jiyin, so he can be regarded as having saved a huge network for the Du family, but he finally concealed Du Raid's incident in the Yellow Turban Army, and no one knows about this matter so far, which shows that the Du family has indeed made great efforts.

Even, in order to prevent Du Zheng from suffering losses, he also brought many children of the Du family to the army, so that Fang Yun, who was originally short of civilian officials, could quickly solve this biggest problem. Nowadays, many of these children of the Du family are deputies of Xie Yuan, Yu Xing and others, and even a few of them also serve as township heads, in charge of the locality.

After determining that Du Xi would be supported as an agent, Fang Yun naturally also sent him a sum of money, and how to operate would naturally be handled by Old Man Du, and during this time, Du Xi would also make a handover and let Xie Yuan the work in his original hands. At the same time, Yu Xing served as the director of the Bureau of Commerce, Zhao Li was specially promoted to the director of the Audit Bureau, and Xi Zhicai had to concurrently serve as the military political commissar.

In the final analysis, there are still too few civilian talents under his command, depending on the situation, he has to surrender to the trial and frustration in the near future, if he still refuses to surrender, then simply kill and draw the soul, so as to cultivate a few civilian talents to use first!

Du Xian handled it properly, so naturally there is one more important thing, that is, let the county order of Sheguo County leave!

Yes, just let him go instead of killing him, let him go willingly, hang the seal and leave! In this way, things can be controlled in a small range to the greatest extent and not attract the attention of Hanting. Of course, after a person is gone, it doesn't matter whether he lives or dies, and now the world is so chaotic. If he was killed by a thief on the road, then he was unlucky!

Since it is to drive away, it naturally requires a certain amount of technology!

Five days later, Sheguo County and County Ya. Zhao Yan, the county magistrate who had just collected a lot of grain and made a lot of money by operating with the grain merchants, was handling official business in the yamen. As a successful gentry in Zhongshan Kingdom, he spent a lot of money and finally bought a county magistrate. Naturally, it is necessary to have a good experience of this kind of fast power in charge of the life and death of the people of a county. Feel.

At the moment he happened to have a case in his hands, mainly an economic dispute between two businessmen. For him, who looked down on businessmen, he only thought about how to squeeze some silver out of between. Perhaps, whoever gives more money will be judged to win!

"Master, I'm so happy!" He was just about to cut the knife, but he didn't want to disturb his interest when a voice came from outside.

"What are you shouting, what a fuss!" Being disturbed by someone to disturb his fun, Zhao Yan shouted very unhappily.

I saw Lao Zhao, the housekeeper at home, stumbling in. But it came to him with a little joy and excitement. In his understanding of this true stewardship, Zhao Yan naturally knew that he was afraid that something good would really happen.

"Master, the little one just learned that the previous few townships who didn't know what to do before, I don't know where to get another batch of grain. The subordinates thought that this batch of grain was coming from the wrong way! You must know that these townships are close to the Taihang Mountains, which is a big bandit den! Where do you say that this group of villagers who have no backing can get a batch of food? Lao Zhao said excitedly.

"Hmm. You have a point! However, this official is an upright person, and he will never frame any good person, nor will he tolerate any evil person! That's good, send the officials down to investigate. If this is the case, make a decision! Zhao Yan thought about it and pretended to be righteous and awe-inspiring.

"Yes, the little one will arrange it immediately!" Lao Zhao smiled and immediately took the order to leave.

Knowing the master, Mo Ruo's servant, has been the steward of the Zhao family for more than 20 years. Where does Lao Zhao not know what Zhao Yan thinks!

What kind of officials are sent down to verify, if they really send people down, even if they don't, they will become yes, people are arrogant to this point, what excuse do you want to find righteousness?

That's what he said, but as a steward, he naturally won't talk much. After being a steward in the Zhao family for so many years, he also bought a lot of land, and even bought a house in Sheguo County.

Within half a day, some officials came back to report that there were suspected bandits in the five townships. I have to say that the efficiency of these officials is really high, and other departments of the Han Dynasty really have to study hard......

Seeing that there was another opportunity to extort money and food, Zhao Yan naturally wouldn't miss it, especially the two widows who got it back before, that taste...... It's a pity that he committed suicide after that...... A bunch of cheap people who don't know how to enjoy happiness. Seed!

"Come on, inform the county lieutenant to prepare people, and we will go to clear out those untouchables who are bandits!" Zhao Yan announced with a wave of his hand.

Li Ji, the county lieutenant, had just landed here, and there were only 300 crooked melons and cracked dates under his command, so he had weapons in his hands, and when he came to take office, he also brought more than 100 family soldiers.

When I heard that there was an opportunity, I immediately became interested, and immediately gathered all the people and began to work in the countryside. Zhao Yan's side naturally won't go down in person, and the gentleman won't set up a dangerous wall! However, for the sake of his own interests not to be thinned, he ordered Lao Zhao to follow, so as not to eat too salty this Li Ji.

After the Yellow Turban Uprising, the local forces were indeed horizontal, but the Han Dynasty was still stable, and the basic law could still be maintained, so it was not a county lieutenant plus more than 400 people who could threaten to get the county order.

The team set off at noon, and according to Zhao Yan's calculations, it would probably be back within three days. He was also worried and continued to be busy with his own affairs.

However, early the next morning, Li Ji came back and returned to Sheguo County with more than 400 people.

"What's the matter, you're back so soon? What about Lao Zhao?! At this time, Zhao Yan was still busy working, and when he saw a man in armor coming in, he thought it was Li Ji, so he couldn't help but question with his identity.

"That goods, I've already found a random place to bury it!" But I didn't want to, an unfamiliar voice came.

Zhao Yan raised his head suddenly, but he found that the officer in front of him didn't know him at all!

"You, who are you?" Zhao Yan got up immediately, but he didn't want to sit on his knees for too long, and his blood was not smooth, so he fell to the ground again.

"A certain is Wenji, the new county lieutenant!" Wen Ji smiled and continued to step forward.

"You, what do you want to do? Someone, someone! Zhao Yan stumbled and crawled, constantly shouting.

"Die, now the county government and even your Zhao family are under my control! Tell you, if you are interested, just leave me with a seal, and I can leave you and your family's life! If you don't know how to lift, then today next year will be your death day! Wen Ji laughed and gestured at the ring knife in his hand.

"You...... You are presumptuous, I am the county commander of the Great Han Qin, how can I be threatened by you! Zhao Yan naturally refused to leave.

"It's just a bought county order, who birds you! Or do you really want to die? Wen Ji took another step forward.

When it came to the end, Zhao Yan was really cowardly, and escaped from the county government without saying a word, and after a while, he simply cleaned up, and with a somewhat threatening tone, he rolled out of Sheguo County, as for where he would go...... Who cares?! (To be continued.) )
