Zhou Mingyang heard Wei Feng and hurriedly asked, "But Linyi City Lord Wei Feng?" I listened and said, "Could it be that there is a second one?" Zhou Mingyang looked at me for a while, "Sure enough, the hero is a young man, and the city lord has already spread in the city about the disaster victims of the county and Yazhen." I wonder what is the matter of deigning to be here today?"

Of course, Zhou Mingyang is a person who understands, and he has already guessed that I am going to dress up for my visit today. After hearing this, I said sincerely, "Don't hide it from Mr., I am here to ask Mr. to come out of the mountain to help." Put an end to this turbulent situation and return peace to the people. ”

Zhou Mingyang was stunned at first when he heard this, and then he was relieved. The sincerity of a man depends entirely on his actions, and the lord of the city and his wife are willing to put on the clothes of the poor people and invite them themselves.

This move made him more tempted than the golden thousand taels, not to mention that although he didn't ask about the world, he still had some understanding of the current city and county guards. This person is not the best candidate, but he can also help.

But if he easily agreed, he seemed insignificant, so he rolled his eyes and said, "If you want me to help you, you can do it, but you need to promise me a few conditions." Then I'll decide if I want to help you or not." I listened to the posterior words

"Sir, please. Zhou Ming raised his head and said: "First, the city is mainly responsible for the people of the world, second, I join the guard, and I am not restricted by anyone except the city lord, the city lord needs to give me an official position in front of everyone, and third, if one day I succeed, I will ask the city lord to allow me to return to my hometown." ”

I nodded and said, "I can agree to all of these conditions." As long as Mr. can help me, Wei Feng will thank Mr. for his kindness for the people of the world. After hearing this, Zhou Mingyang sat down again, picked up the teacup and asked, "I wonder what the general plans to do with Liu Ye?"

I was stunned when I heard it, I thought he was going to ask the general what position he planned to entrust me with, how much money was given and so on...... When I mentioned Liu Ye, I got angry in my heart, and then said solemnly: "This person acts as Wang Bing's lackey, as a county magistrate, and actually connived at the officials to make chaos and rob finances in broad daylight. I think it should be beheaded to appease the resentment of the people."

After hearing this, Zhou Mingyang persuaded: "No." After hearing this, I asked, "Why?" Zhou Mingyang said, "Liu Ye is a scholar, and his heart is not bad. The general also knew that Wang Bing was in power, and as a county magistrate, he was probably forced to save his life. What's more, most of the officials are Wang Bing's subordinates, and Liu Ye is just a scapegoat for Wang Bing's infamy.

I thought that Liu Ye had some talent, but it was a pity to kill him. What's more, corrupt officials also have their role, otherwise the dynasties and dynasties would not have been repeatedly banned. However, the final decision is still in the hands of the general. The reason why Zhou Mingyang interceded for Liu Ye was because the two of them had several encounters when they were studying, and they had the same ambitions.

It's just that Zhou Mingyang sees through the darkness of officialdom and disdains to be an official, and Liu Ye is forced to make a living. So the two parted ways, although they were in Linyi City, they never met. I nodded and said, "Sir, that's right, I'm doing it willingly." I didn't even think about it, so I spared his life. ”

Then he asked Lin Qi to send Qin Fang back, and he and Zhou Mingyang talked all night about how to gather the hearts of the people and how to govern the army. His unique insights are also unheard of to me, and it seems that Ma Huayun did not recommend the wrong person.

In this way, the next day, he worshipped Zhou Mingyang in front of everyone, became a master, and established himself as a general. Ma Huayun's position as a military division remains unchanged, Feng Hong Zhentian, Li Jin, Qian Qi, and Liu Yang. and other generals of each battalion can recruit troops on their own to set up official positions such as chiefs, captains, captains, army members, and chiefs.

The first thing Zhou Mingyang did after taking office was to behead a few evil officials and then receive Liu Ye under his name. Zhao Qi, the former county magistrate, served as the county magistrate. Then an arrow target was placed at the east gate of Linyi City.

He said that in addition to the officers and soldiers, if there are people who can shoot, they will be rewarded with five taels of silver. For a while, a lot of people surrounded them, and they all looked at you, look at me, I saw you, and no one stepped forward. At this time, a strong man was squeezed out of the crowd and said, "Let go, let go." The squeezed man frowned and cursed in his heart, and the people around him looked at this person.

The man had a seven-foot crescent-like beard and strong limbs. Thick black eyebrows. A pair of eyes as if they were staring at someone. Then he stood up and said, "Is there really five taels of silver when you shoot?"

After hearing this, Zhou Mingyang repeated: "As long as you hit the arrow target, you will have five taels of silver." Then he ordered the bow and arrows to be fetched, and the man took them, examined them, and then stood on the spot. Watching the bow of the arrow target pull like a full moon, as if it was about to break with some more strength, and then let go.

The bow and arrow instantly shoot through the target and hit the red heart, leaving only one tail to stay on the target. For a while, everyone applauded, and when Zhou Mingyang saw it, he took out five taels of silver and sent it to him in person, "This strong man is not only born with divine power, but also has excellent archery skills, I don't know my name?"

As soon as this person heard this, he took the silver and put it in his arms and said, "I don't have a name, my father calls me Huzi, I am the ancestor of Orion in this Linyi City, and I rely on hunting for a living." I came here today because my family was out of food, so I took the risk, thank you for keeping your promise. ”

After thanking him, he turned and left, and the next day he put a log in the east of the city, and said that if anyone could carry it to the west of the city, he would be rewarded with ten taels of silver. This time, there were more onlookers than last time, but no one dared to come forward to try.

So Zhou Mingyang raised the reward to twenty taels, as the so-called heavy reward must have a brave man. Then a man carried a log to the west of the city, and many people followed him along the way.

After arriving in the west of the city, Zhou Mingyang paid the man twenty taels of silver as promised, and announced in public that the Taoist Mansion was true to its word. In this way, everyone is a second monk, and they are confused.

On the third day, a big flag was placed in the west of the city, and if someone could insert it in the center of the city, he would be rewarded with ten taels of silver, and this time someone directly picked up the flag and walked to the center of the city. When Ma Huayun heard this, he walked to the City Lord's Mansion and asked, "General, what is Taishi Zhou going to do with this move?"

When I heard this, I was also puzzled and asked, "What's wrong with the Taishi?" Ma Yun explained the truth of the matter, and after I heard it, I put down the bamboo slip and said, "Maybe the Taishi wants to establish the prestige of my guard among the people." Since I let him be the master, naturally I don't want to interfere too much. ”

Ma Huayun didn't say much after hearing this, so he got up and said goodbye, losing a few dozen taels of silver is nothing to me. But I'm also curious about what Mingyang wants to do this week, and then I stretched and got up to find Qin Fang.

Seeing that she was embroidering something in the house, she pushed the door in and asked, "What is the lady embroidering?" Qin Fang handed me the embroidery when she heard it, and said, "The concubine has nothing to do, just embroider something." After I took it, I saw that there was actually a mandarin duck on it, and maybe the other one had not been embroidered yet, so I exclaimed: "Madame, the embroidery is really good." ”

Then they looked at each other, as if they had a soul in their hearts. I secretly sigh that this kind of day is so good. In this way, on the fourth day, Zhou Mingyang posted a notice

"The former county guard Wang Bing oppressed people with power and misbehaved, and the strong people and women bullied the good. Therefore, some people had no choice but to fall into the grass, and now Wang Bing has been ambushed. I am the Lord of the Wind and love the people like a son, ****. If any of those who have been forced to fall into the grass want to return to the city, our lord will return his house and land. and exempt them from taxes for half a year, and they are not responsible for all the past. ”

Then it was posted all over the city, and the news spread throughout Linyi City in the morning. For a while, many mountain bandits who had houses and land in the city went down the mountain to return to the city, after all, no one wanted to live such a fearful life all day long.

Many bandits had heard of what had happened in the city in the past few days. In the afternoon of the same day, many mountain bandits came to defect, and for a while, the county government surrounded many registered people. Zhou Mingyang's move did not cost a single soldier, and it only cost a few dozen taels of silver to recruit many people who were forced to fall into the grass.

The rest of the people were still waiting and watching, and then the county government found a place to live for them and reallocated the land. The wrongdoers were also no longer prosecuted, and the criminal records were burned in front of them. For a while, many people were grateful and knelt down to thank them.

The story of our guards occupying two cities in a row has already reached the imperial court, but they were all detained by Wang Qiang. For him, he didn't care at all how many cities the Qin State lost, as long as the emperor listened to him.

Then looking at King Qin, who was still obsessed with women, Jin Zhengzheng hugged Wang Qianggang and couldn't put it down for the virgin he had just collected from the people, and began to ravage it directly in front of Wang Qiang. Completely ignoring the heart-rending cry of the girl under him, at this time, a father-in-law came in and whispered, "Lord Wang, General Feng asks to see you." ”

Wang Qiang looked at Jin Zheng's play, so his eyes rolled, and he thought: "Feng Yucheng, you can't complain about me if you look for death yourself." Then he waved his hand to retreat, stepped forward and said softly, "Your Majesty." Jin Zheng looked at the girl who was already unresponsive under him, and then asked impatiently, "What's the matter?" Wang Qiang flattered: "The villain originally had a folk girl to offer to you, but General Feng suddenly asked to see him at this time." Small ......"

After hearing this, Jin Zheng said directly, "Let him go, is the folk girl you said beautiful?" Wang Qiang said with a face: "Back to the emperor, that woman is like a fairy, and you will like it as soon as you see it." But ......"

Jin Zheng hurriedly said, "But what is it?" Wang Qiang pretended to be angry and said, "But General Feng said that the villain was a traitor and a eunuch, and that the villain delayed the emperor in handling things. In fact, the villain is just too tired to see the emperor, so he did everything possible to find you a few beautiful villains who are loyal to the emperor......"

After finishing speaking, he pretended to wipe his tears and looked at Jin Zheng, and Jin Zheng scolded after hearing it, "This Feng Yu Cheng is really bold." Wang Qiang said while it was hot

"General Feng said that he was a hero, so naturally he would not take the villain in his eyes. But he actually complained to others that the emperor was addicted to alcohol all day long and ignored political affairs, and said that if it went on like this, the Qin State would be over......"

Jin Zheng roared after hearing this, slammed the jade cup on the table and said, "This Feng Yucheng, is there still me in his eyes." Is this world his or mine's," and then said: "Someone will take it down for me, and Yu Cheng will be pressed to the prison, and no one will be allowed to visit the violator of the order." Then he asked, "Wang Qiang, where are the beauties you are talking about?"
