That's right, Zhang Xiao's purpose is very simple, that is, to annex the Yi village of Cross, because in Zhang Xiao's memory, the provincial capital of Paravon will hold an annual martial arts conference a month later, and along with the martial arts conference, all kinds of banquets will be held.

As a village chief, he also needs to go to Parabun Province to report to the Governor of Parabun, after which the Governor of Parabun will reappoint the mayors of the towns under him, because the Parabun Province is located in a remote area, so there is no walled city under the subordinates, and the direct administrative body under the jurisdiction is the town.

Zhang Xiao silently calculated, how to win the most benefits in this redistribution of power, Zhang Xiao not only needs to strengthen his own internal strength, but also needs to think about what means to use to pull the current mayor of Lieyuan Town down.

Zhang Xiao had a very clear plan in his mind, but now was his first step, thinking of this, Zhang Xiao raised his eyebrows proudly, and threw the other half of the parchment in his hand in front of Cross.

"Because I am not capable and moral enough to serve as the head of Imura, I have decided to step down as the head of Imura, and now Bonaparte, the head of the neighboring village, is in charge of Imura. A short line of words made Cross break out in a cold sweat.

"Confession or transfer?" Zhang Xiao smiled and waved the confession in his hand and asked Cross with a smile, Zhang Xiao had already written the date on each piece of parchment just now, and this transfer was exactly one day late, that is to say, the previous terms were all signed during the time of Cross's authority and took effect.

"Then what should I do!" cried Cross.

Zhang Xiao's face was not so clear in the dim light of the church: "You can be my auxiliary officer, but only if you have to listen to me." ”

"Impossible! I am a descendant of the great Duke of André, how can I be an auxiliary to a lowly commoner like you!" Cross suddenly became very excited, and when it came to the glory of the nobles or the question of face, he would become very extreme.

Zhang Xiao knows that he and these nobles are not of the same class now, because he has not yet been recognized by the aristocratic class, and without the approval of the aristocratic class, he cannot become a nobleman, he cannot become a nobleman, and many things will be limited by his identity, just like now, it is just a very ordinary annexation of a neighboring village, and it has become so troublesome.

"If this confession spreads, I can't guarantee that you will still be a member of the Andrei family. Zhang Xiao's voice became a little cold.

Hearing Zhang Xiao say this, Cross became a little flustered: "You are despicable!

"As I said beforehand, if this negotiation goes well, I will return this confession to you, anyway, you must sign this letter of transfer, and as for whether or not to be my auxiliary officer, it is your freedom, and I cannot interfere with anyone's freedom. Zhang Xiao knew that his identity class problem could not be solved in a while, so he decided not to force it anymore.

"Yes, I can sign this transfer, but you must get me to leave in a way that suits my identity. After struggling for a long time, Cross finally toughened his mind, for the nobles they could do anything dirty, but they didn't allow anyone to know what they did.

When Zhang Xiao heard his words, he knew that this thing was nothing more than a decent reason to leave, and seeing this, Zhang Xiao did not object, but nodded in agreement.

"Alonso, you go and ring the bell for me to gather the villagers, I have something important to announce to the villagers of Yi Village!" Zhang Xiao turned to Alonso and gave an order, then motioned for him to leave the church in the center of the village with Clos.

Seeing that Cross had left, Zhang Xiao asked a villager beside him, "Are our brothers resting outside?"

"Yes, sir, the brothers are resting outside. "This villager has just seen Zhang Xiao's tricks to play with the nobleman of Cross, in just ten minutes, he annexed the neighboring village, when he heard that his village chief was going to sell all the land in the east of the village, if it wasn't for Alonso pulling him, he would almost turn his face, but when he heard that the village chief behind him actually wanted to annex Yi Village, he knew that his master was a master who eats people and does not spit out bones.

"Take all the brothers to the entrance of the village for me to rest, and later these villagers may be a little excited when they see the brothers who smashed the house, but it will not be easy to do, besides, you call me the Hillman father and son in. Zhang Xiao commanded casually.

Now Zhang Xiao is a great god in the eyes of this villager, and his prestige is flourishing: "Yes, master." ”

After a while, a sturdy middle-aged man walked into the church with a teenage boy, and when he saw the father and son coming in, Zhang Xiao pointed casually: "All beings are equal in front of God, sit down." ”

"Thank you, sir, great grace, the Hillman family is unforgettable!" Old Hillman simply knelt on the ground and kissed Zhang Xiao's upper.

"Arise, my brave Hillman. A civilian kisses another person's upper, which represents the meaning of surrender and willingness to serve him in this world, although Zhang Xiao is very happy in his heart, but he still looks calm and breezy on the surface.

Zhang Xiao asked pointedly: "Old Hillman, you are very courageous, you dare to rush to Yicun alone, and you are not afraid of violating the laws of the kingdom and using iron weapons." ”

"Master, no matter how vicious the dragon is, he will protect his dragon egg, let alone me, this child is all the hope of our Hillman family, I can't let him have anything to do!" Old Hillman suddenly became very excited.

"Take it easy, take it easy, old Hillman, Imura has been conquered by us, and I am about to become the co-head of Imura and our two villages. ”

"What!?co-chief!" Old Hillman apparently didn't react for a moment.

"That's right, it's the common village head, that is, I will be in charge of the two villages in the future. Zhang Xiao paused and said: "However, you also know that after all, the laws of the kingdom do not allow the appearance of a common village chief, so I think there is someone who can help me to find out the news in the neighboring villages and towns, and when I am not ready, I hope to get these news at any time, old Hillman, can you help me?"

"This." Old Hillman was still a farmer after all, and apparently had not yet reacted from this incident.

"Don't worry, little Hillman can stay by my side and serve as my guard, you know, I just served as the co-village chief, and there are some people in our own village and Yi village who disobey me, I need some tough means, little Hillman, are you willing to stay by my side and conquer these two villages together?" Zhang Xiao asked little Hillman with a smile.

Young people are always the best to provoke, and a few random words will make their blood boil: "Master, I am willing! Whoever disobeys the master, I will let them taste Hillman's fist!"

"Haha, do you see, old Hillman, your son really looks like you!"

"Yes, sir, I'll go around the nearby villages and towns and bring you the news you need!" said Old Hillman, gritting his teeth.

"Okay, good, old Hillman, remember! The information I need is very simple, whether there are bandits nearby, how many militias there are in the town, the movement of these militias, what resources are available in the nearby villages, whether they are barren or rich, do you remember?" Zhang Xiao said solemnly.

"Yes, sir, I see, I'll go back to the village once a month to report to you!" said old Hillman.

Seeing that what he had been worried about had finally come to an end, Zhang Xiao also relieved his heart, and at this time, the villagers of Yicun Village who were sparse had also gathered.

"Old Hillman, you go now, this is a copper coin, and it is all your expenses outside for half a year. Saying that, Zhang Xiao took out a copper coin from his pocket and threw it to Old Hillman, and smiled at Little Hillman: "Young man, go, come with me to meet these villagers of Yi Village." ”

Little Hillman happily followed out when he heard Zhang Xiao's words, while Old Hillman quietly left Yicun through the side door of the church.

Walking to the door of the church, Zhang Xiao looked at the black and oppressive Yicun villagers below, and shouted with a smile: "Yicun villagers! I apologize for the reckless behavior of the villagers in my village just now, and the losses in your family can be reported to me later, and I will try my best to compensate!"

Hearing that there was compensation, the villagers of Yicun, who were still a little angry, began to chatter and discuss.
