"Brother Chang, can you lend me four people, brother, I'm new here, I don't know anything about things here, and I really need a few helpers!"

"This ......"

Seeing the embarrassment on Chang Dahai's face, Shen Mufeng hurriedly continued: "Brother Chang, I won't let these four brothers help in vain, I will definitely treat them well, as long as the brothers have a firm foothold in Wanshan County, in the future, Brother Chang will never postpone if he has a useful place!"

Chang Dahai thought about it and nodded, and took five hundred taels of silver from others, this little thing doesn't help, it is indeed a little unspeakable, and maybe there will be a place to use the other party in the future, and more importantly, the other party is generous, there are not many such fat sheep.

"It's okay! Brother Shen is alone in Wanshan County, and I can't help my brother much, so I will lend my four right-hand men to Brother Shen, don't treat them badly, otherwise they will complain, and the top will beat me up!"

"Don't worry, brother, I understand ......"

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, Chang Dahai took the rest of his subordinates and roared away, the four subordinates are you look at me and I look at you, only a wry smile in my heart.

Shen Mufeng's purpose is very simple, that is, to take advantage of the situation, to borrow the power of the state government, just like the old saying goes, the prime minister is a three-rank official in front of the door, and being an errand in the state government also has a certain deterrent effect on the people of Wanshan County.

And looking at the expressions of the four people, Shen Mufeng smiled, and directly took out four silver tickets of fifty taels, one of them gave one, if he wanted the horse to run, how could he do it without giving forage, and the four catchers never thought that the other party could be so generous, fifty taels of silver, almost their annual income.

"Thank you, sir!"

......

The four of them thanked each other in unison, although the words were simple, but there was a look of surprise on their faces.

Shen Mufeng smiled slightly: "Sensei and I are polite, Brother Chang seconded you to me, just to help me a lot, I can't treat my brother badly, you can rest assured, the time will not be long, as little as half a month, at most a month, when I stabilize the things here, I will personally set up a table to see off your brothers!"

Although the four of them are the state capital, they are different from the head catcher, the fast catch is the fast catch, there is no grade, the head catcher is the ninth grade official, and Mu Feng is also the seventh grade of the county, and so courteous to them, naturally happy.

In fact, there are a few simple-minded people who can work as errands in the state capital, and force is one thing, and secondly, they must have connections, otherwise they will be able to do errands in the state capital.

So everyone is compiling their own network, maybe they will be able to use it when they can, and this Lord Shen in front of him is higher than their head's grade, if it really can't be mixed up one day, taking refuge in this person can be regarded as a way out.

"Whatever the adults say, we are all at the disposal of the adults, if there is an order, don't dare to disobey!"

Shen Mufeng showed a happy look on his face to show that he valued the four of them: "Okay, let's treat them as brothers in private!"

"Thank you for your love, your subordinates and others will do their best!"

Shen Mufeng smiled, but then he looked worried: "Actually, I think that we are the key tonight, there are a few groups of robbers on the way here, but they saw our grain truck, I am afraid that this mountain bandit will break into the county government at night and rob the grain, so I have to guard against it!"

The four of them glanced at each other, and the first one smiled slightly: "Your Excellency, you can rest assured, this is the yamen of the imperial court after all, and those thieves don't have the courage yet, if they dare to come, it will be a rebellion, it is a big crime to kill the nine clans, your lordship can rest assured!"

"Hey, since they are mountain bandits, these people naturally put life and death out of the way, so they can't help but guard against it tonight, the four brothers, there will be labor tonight, as long as they spend tonight, everything will be guaranteed!"

"Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates and others will do our best, we will do whatever your adult says, and we will definitely protect your lordship!"

Although they said that, the four of them really didn't take it seriously, they knew that Wanshan County, although it was chaotic, was also under the rule of Pinglanzhou, and those thieves did whatever they wanted on weekdays, but they couldn't afford the crime of impacting the county government!

"Then there are four more brothers, let's go in and make arrangements, it's getting late, just wait for tomorrow to invite all brothers to have a good meal and talk about it!"

"Your kindness, my lord!"

Under the escort of the four catchers, Shen Mufeng entered the county office, but after entering the county office, Shen Mufeng was stunned, he never thought that the county government of Wanshan County would be so broken.

From the outside, the walls have not been painted for a long time, the roots of the walls are overgrown with weeds, and the gate is also a little damaged, which is nothing, at most it is negligent management, but when he enters the inside, Shen Mufeng finds it hard to believe that this place can be associated with the county government.

The weeds in the courtyard are half a person high, the doors and windows of the county government hall are gone, there are several big holes in the house, and the plaque with four big characters on the lobby is actually split into two halves, the upper half is hung on the lobby, and the lower half is lying on the table, the dust on the table is thick, and there are a few killing rods scattered on the ground.

The corners of Shen Mufeng's mouth couldn't help but pull, Song Wanqiu came to Shen Mufeng's side, and she also looked worried, even the four catchers didn't expect that the county government would be so dilapidated.

Shen Mufeng saw such a dilapidated county office, and he was even more worried about the current situation, because the county government is like this, it is conceivable that the local people may not take the county government too seriously.

Wanshan County was not originally like this, more than ten years ago, but there were 70,000 or 80,000 people in a large town, backed by hundreds of miles of Tianji Mountain Range, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, the life here is much better than other towns.

But since more than ten years ago, Wanshan County was completely messed up, and the old magistrate returned to his hometown to retire in old age, and the new successor magistrate was called Zhu Qigui, but the people called Zhu Qi for Zhu Peel, because this magistrate was too greedy.

After Zhu Qigui succeeded to office, he supported three people in Wanshan County, these three people were specifically responsible for the purchase of mountain goods, the price was very low, and the difference was earned, the three of them were all ruffians, and soon gathered a group of thugs, and there were Zhu Papi behind the back, and they had no scruples about doing things, as long as they found that someone sold the mountain goods to the merchants who came to Wanshan County, the beating was light, and the killing of people often happened, and the result was obvious, the life of the people was getting more and more difficult.

During the period of Zhu Zhixian's large-scale scraping in the past few years, the strength of the three people has become bigger and bigger, and slowly there are three major families later, as the old saying goes, it can just make the ghost grind, seeing that the five-year term is about to expire, Zhu Qigui has already found a way back, so Zhu Qigui in the later period is becoming more and more greedy.

And the three families are already full-fledged, how can they endure the further persecution of the insatiable Zhu Qigui, the three families plotted, and learned that Zhu Zhixian went to the state city at the time, sent mountain bandits to rob, and Zhu Qigui finally ended up in a different place.

The mountain bandits were naturally raised by three families, the purpose was to intercept merchants outside Wanshan County and prevent these merchants from entering Wanshan County, but there were more and more mountain bandits, and with more and more mountain bandits, the three families gradually lost control of the mountain bandits, and even in the end, the mountain bandits specialized in robbing the goods of the three families.

Therefore, in the later period, every time the three major families escorted the goods, they would send a large number of people to ensure the safety of the goods.

However, it is precisely because of the mess left by Zhu Zhi County that Wanshan County is no longer peaceful, and the bandits will be alive, and even some big bandit villages will enter Wanshan County to loot, so that everyone is in danger.

And this kind of situation does not have much impact on the three major families, it is nothing more than recruiting more nurses, and in the eyes of the three major families, this place must not be touched by the imperial court, if they return to the previous situation, it will not cut off their financial route.
