Everyone sat around the table and waited for a cup of tea, and a sound of rapid footsteps suddenly came in from the main hall of the county government.

After a few breaths, I saw eight men walking into the backyard of the mansion.

The moment they saw these eight figures, the eyes of Su Tong and Wang Yan, the county magistrate, and Wang Yan, the chief bookkeeper, were filled with a look of horror.

Su Tong and Wang Yan have both been born in Youyu County for generations, and the two of them are familiar with the people and things in Youyu County.

The eight characters who had just arrived in front of him were all prominent figures in Youyu County or the surrounding area, how could the two of them not recognize them?

Although the eight people who came into the county yahoutang at the same time, judging from the clothes of the eight of them, they were divided into two different factions.

Six of them were dressed in a bright fish-scale armor, led by a sturdy bearded man, and the six of them were the real power figures of the military forces around Youyu County.

The leader is named Tie Shaotang, who is the commander of the Right Yulin Guard, and the other five people are the five thousand households under his command.

The moment he stepped into the back hall of the county government, Tie Shaotang immediately led the five thousand households behind him to kneel down on one knee, clasped his fists and saluted Zhou Chen, and said: "Right Yulin Wei commands Tie Shaotang to bring a thousand households under his command to meet the Lord of the Prison Army.

There are 5,600 people up and down the right Yulin Guard, waiting for the dispatch of the prison army at any time! ”

Tie Shaotang's words caused Su Tong and Wang Yan to fall into endless panic.

Don't look at Su Tong and Wang Yan, the two of them are now respectful to Zhou Chen on the surface, but in fact, the two of them have already been calculating how to squeeze out Zhou Chen in their hearts.

Originally, after the magistrate of Youyu County was promoted, Su Tong and Wang Yan became the most suitable candidates for the successor of the magistrate.

But who would have thought that the imperial court would directly bypass the Datong Mansion, and even the Shanxi Chengxuan Political Envoy Division, and appoint a Beijing official to take up his post.

This makes Su Tong and Wang Yan, who have disappointed their hopes of promotion, where can they feel good in their hearts? Although the two of them didn't have the courage to assassinate Zhou Chen sent by the capital, they still had the intention of causing some trouble in private, setting up or even forcing Zhou Chen away.

However, Su Tong and Wang Yan only knew about Zhou Chen's appointment as the magistrate of Youyu County, and they didn't know that Zhou Chen was able to dispatch 5,600 Youyu Lin guards stationed nearby.

At the moment, the right Yulin Wei commanded Tie Shaotang to unite the five thousand households to salute, and immediately stunned Su Tong and Wang Yan.

Before the frightened look in the eyes of Su Tong and Wang Yan faded, the actions of the other comer dealt a heavy blow to their hearts again.

Those two were not wearing armor, but the shock that the two of them brought to Su Tong and Wang Yan was much stronger than Tie Shaotang and other generals of the Right Yulin Guard.

The two of them were dressed in a blue weaving gold makeup flower flying fish brocade robe, and a gilt and silver luxury long knife on their waists, showing a murderous and fierce aura all over their bodies.

Flying fish suit, embroidered spring knife, this is a unique symbol of the Son of Heaven's pro-army brocade guard.

These two people are the Jinyi Wei Baihu who is responsible for spying on the military intelligence of the Shenhekou Border Pass, named Chen Yun and Xu Yan respectively.

"Chen Yun, a hundred households of Jinyi Wei, has seen thousands of adults!"

"Jinyi Wei hundred households Xu Yan, I have seen thousands of households!"

The two of them also knelt on one knee and saluted Zhou Chen in unison.

This made Su Tong and Wang Yan's hearts tremble even more, and they almost fell under the table.

You must know that the status of Jinyiwei is extraordinary, and it can be said that it is a first-level existence of the official.

If it is a thousand households in the ordinary guard, Chen Yun and Xu Yan, the two brocade guards, are afraid that they will not even look at it.

But now that Chen Yun and Xu Yan are so courteous to Zhou Chen, and they also call themselves the Lord of a Thousand Households, there is no doubt that Zhou Chen must be one of the fourteen Thousand Households of Jinyiwei.

All of a sudden, Su Tong and Wang Yan were covered in cold sweat and swishing out.

They were actually preparing to persecute a brocade guard Qianhu in the air, and they were really impatient.

Fortunately, all this is just an idea, Su Tong and Wang Yan did not put it into action, which is what makes the two of them feel most fortunate at the moment.

Looking at the eight people who knelt down on one knee in front of the hall and saluted, Zhou Chen raised his hand and waved it, chuckled and said, "You don't have to be polite, let's sit down at the table!" ”

"Thank you, sir!"

The eight of them bowed in unison, and then went down around the round table as they said.

At this time, Zhou Chen turned his head to Wang Yan and said, "Master Wang, you can start the banquet now!" ”

"Yes, yes, the lower official will go down and order the banquet to be held!"

Wang Yan hurriedly got up and said.

Then, he went to the back kitchen to order the food to be served.

After a while, plates of exquisite dishes were presented on the round table, and pots of mellow wine were placed in front of everyone.

After Zhou Chen picked up the wine jug and poured a full glass, he stood up with the wine glass and said, "Everyone, before the banquet, this official has something to say!"

The main purpose of this official's appointment in Youyu County this time is to use Youyu County as a pilot to promote the opening up of the mutual market.

This official is not interested in the original bullshit in Youyu County, and it turns out that he should still do his job!

The official only cares about the opening of the mutual market, and whoever dares to obstruct the slightest influence, the official will personally behead him!

At least three years, at most five years, the official will return to Beijing to resume his life.

I hope that during this term of office, you can cooperate sincerely with this official, and don't let this official really move the murderous intention! ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Chen's gaze directly inserted into the chests of Su Tong and Wang Yan like two sharp swords, and their purpose did not hide anything at all.

Among those present, either the sergeants and brocade guards who obeyed Zhou Chen's orders were ordered, or they were the cronies brought by Zhou Chen, who were the swordsmans himself.

Only Su Tong and Wang Yan are outsiders, and they are the local forces that are already deep-rooted in Youyu County.

Moreover, Zhou Chen's appointment as the magistrate of Youyu County this time undoubtedly blocked the future of Su Tong and Wang Yan, and Zhou Chen didn't believe that the two of them would have no ideas in their hearts.

It's not so much about waiting for the two of them to drag their feet and make a stumbling block, it's better to pick everything out at the beginning.

After all, Zhou Chen is now full of thoughts about the opening of the mutual market, and he doesn't care much about this small Youyu county town at all.

As long as it doesn't affect his affairs, then hello, hello, everyone.

But if anyone dares to disagree with Zhou Chen in terms of the opening of the mutual market, then don't blame the knife in his hand for being too sharp.
