"This ......" Zhou Puze was dumbfounded and stunned all of a sudden. What is the situation? I don't know if Steward Pang's intention has become my own sin? I'm not a roundworm in Steward Pang's stomach, how can I know what he came here for!

"Okay, Xiao Li, don't keep doing this! it's time to scare Lord Zhou!" Old Pang pretended to be displeased, frowning and reprimanding the general. But in fact, he was secretly laughing in his heart, secretly praising this general for being good, and he would come to trouble! Let him sing blackface, give Zhou Puze Shiwei, and sing redface himself, releasing goodwill. The two cooperated, and he would do his best to do his best when he needed Zhou Puze's help next.

The general obviously realized what Lao Pang meant again, and said with a red face: "Steward Pang, I am a straightforward person, and I will speak directly if I have something to say! And I am not wrong, Pu Ze is guilty this week! This Changzhi County is not far from the capital, it can be said that it is at the foot of the Son of Heaven! There is still such a rampant gang of bandits, he is the official of this place, but he governs this place like this, isn't it guilty?"

"This ...... I...... Steward Pang, listen to the explanation...... I ......" Zhou Puze was really dumbfounded now, he couldn't have imagined that the matter of the bandits in Changzhi County had already spread to the capital. Old Marshal Chen has sent Steward Pang to lead the troops, does this mean that the Holy Lord has already known about this matter?

"You can't say that, Xiao Li, I believe that Lord Zhou doesn't want to govern this place well, there should be a hardship!, right, Lord Zhou......" Lao Pang didn't wait for Zhou Puze to reply, then changed the conversation, and then continued to say his own words, "However, Lord Zhou, you also have something wrong with this matter, if you have any difficulties, you should report it to the imperial court!"

"Yes, yes, yes! What Steward Pang said is reasonable, this is indeed the lower official's, isn't it! What the lower official thinks in his heart is that the saint is tired of hard work, and the lower official, as a courtier, even if he can't solve his worries, he can't make the saint worry because of some trivial things! I thought that I would report the good news and not the bad news, and wait for the lower officials to solve these problems and then report to the court so that the saint can be happy!" Zhou Puze defended himself, and at the same time did not forget to respectfully raise his hands into fists when he spoke. His face was very ugly, but he still had luck in his heart, and said tentatively, "Steward Pang, I'm afraid the Holy Lord is very angry now, right?"

Lao Pang is still very calm, a big thing for Zhou Puze, in fact, it is really just a sesame seed for Lao Pang.

"Hehe, Lord Zhou, I won't play dumb riddles with you anymore! The reason why I came back here this time is because the family of one of the marshal's relatives was killed by this gang of bandits, and the marshal was furious and sent me out to deal with this matter! The saint has not known about this matter for the time being. If it is handled well, I believe that Lord Zhou's future prospects are quite big! If it is not handled properly, I really don't know if the marshal will be able to suppress this matter at that time! Lord Zhou, do you understand what I mean?"

Lao Pang's words can be said to have made Zhou Puze excited, not only can there be a way to solve the problem of bandits here, but if it is handled well, maybe he can climb the high branch of Marshal Chen. How could Zhou Puze, who was bent on going further in his career, not be tempted? At that moment, he hurriedly responded: "Steward Pang's meaning, Xiaguan has already understood very well! Xiaguan will definitely do his best to cooperate with Steward Pang, but if necessary, he will never refuse!"

"Okay, Lord Zhou is a person who understands! I believe that this matter will be resolved soon, without further ado, let's discuss all matters related to the suppression of bandits. ”

"Okay, I don't know if there is anything the lower official can do?"

"Of course, we still need your help! First of all, I need all the information about this gang of bandits, the more detailed the better! We came to this place for the first time, and we don't know much about the situation of those bandits, and Lord Zhou confronts this gang of bandits, so we must know a lot about it, so Lord Lao Zhou told us the size of this gang of bandits, the location of the cottage stronghold, and the information of all high-level people!"

In fact, Zhou Puze really didn't know much about this gang of bandits, probably just knowing where this gang of bandits was, who the leader was, and other simple information. Of course, he definitely can't say that he doesn't know this, and he will do his best to cooperate after he finishes speaking, but the first thing that people ask for can't be done, and it's hard to make others believe that he really cooperates. But fortunately, he also has Lu Xin and Yang Fenglong under him, one of them is in charge of catching fast, and the other is in charge of the county guard, it can be said that they are old rivals with the gang of bandits under Yao Juling, although they have always been pressed and beaten, but they still have a considerable understanding of them.

"Steward Pang, forgive the dereliction of duty, the lower official really doesn't know much about this gang of bandits. However, my subordinates, Lu Xin and Yang Fenglong, are responsible for the security work of the county, and often go to deal with this gang of bandits, so they should know something about this gang of bandits. Zhou Puze introduced Lu Xin and Yang Fenglong to Lao Pang.

After Lao Pang learned part of the information about this gang of bandits from Lu Xin and Yang Fenglong, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, he had indeed overestimated the strength of this gang of bandits before he came, but he didn't expect that he still underestimated it. He didn't know why he felt this way, but he decided to believe in his feelings and began to pay attention to it in his heart.

Then, a group of people discussed all matters related to the suppression of bandits in the yamen, and began to deploy plans based on all the information known. This made Zhou Puze, Lu Xin and Yang Fenglong, who were involved, couldn't help but sigh, they were worthy of being people from the army, and they were the first to fight. Even if it is just to exterminate a group of bandits, it is planned and deployed. Where are people like myself and others who have always been in cahoots with this gang of bandits, and where are there any plans and arrangements? They have always been passively defensive, and if people do not offend me, I will turn a blind eye! Where will there be any plans and arrangements to take the initiative to attack this gang of bandits? No wonder this gang of bandits has begun to become more and more rampant and act more and more arrogantly.

It turns out that I'm really too bad, I never felt that way before, but as soon as I find out, I will know how bad I used to be! It's a little uncomfortable, but it's also true, isn't it!

......

Everyone discussed it for a day, and when everything was discussed, they found that before they knew it, it was already dark. Zhou Puze immediately ordered his subordinates to prepare meals, and everyone went to rest after they were full of wine and food.
