After the routine pointing, Xu Rong just wanted to leave the yamen, but he saw several people standing in front of him.

"Huo Zhutou, what are you?"

Xu Rong looked at Huo Mingjue with a little "confusion", as well as Yuan Xu and others beside him.

When the other hunters saw this scene, no one dared to approach, and even accelerated their speeds to leave.

What happened yesterday can be known if you are a little better-informed.

And now Huo Mingjue stopped Xu Rong with someone, obviously wanting to get back on the field.

Huo Mingjue made a tiger face, and then saw that everyone was almost scattered, and then said: "Cao Liangyuan is also your colleague, you actually did such a poisonous act?" What qualifications do you have to order the punishment of a colleague? ”

"It seems that Huo Zhutou came to Xingshi to ask for the guilt, but Huo Zhutou should have some misunderstanding."

Xu Rong had a faint smile on his face, "I'm not punishing Cao Liangyuan, I'm just punishing a servant, it's just that Cao Liangyuan asked me to give him a face, as a colleague, this is naturally to be given, otherwise wouldn't it ruin the friendly atmosphere?" ”

"It's just that this punishment must be suffered by someone, since the official is not punished, it is natural that other people will be punished, and Cao Liangyuan is naturally the one who will not let it go."

"Don't believe it, ask the other people present at the time, did Cao Liangyuan object?"

A catcher next to Huo Mingjue immediately retorted: "You directly beat Cao Liangyuan to a serious injury, how can he speak against it?" ”

"Speaking of this, Huo Zhutou, you still have to thank me."

Xu Rong smiled, "This Cao Liangyuan said that Xicheng District is your territory, and I thought that Huo Zhutou was neither a prince nor a marquis, how could this be your territory?" ”

"Even if you take a step back, now Xicheng District is also under my jurisdiction, doesn't this Cao Liangyuan not care about the orders of the county magistrate at all?"

"Or did he follow Huo Zhutou's order, that's why he said such things?"

Huo Mingjue squinted his eyes slightly, looked at Xu Rong seriously, and suddenly said: "I thought you were a lamb before, but I didn't expect that you were a wild wolf, and if you are not careful, you will really be bitten to death by this beast." ”

Xu Rong's expression didn't change at all, he just said, "So, Huo Zhutou has admitted it?" No wonder the county magistrate will divide Xicheng District under my command, I think I also know your wolf ambitions, and the white-eyed wolves that can't be raised are even as good as animals. ”

"You ......"

Yuan Xu's face changed, and he was about to step forward to make a move, but was stopped by Huo Mingjue with his right hand.

"It's quite neat, I was blinded before."

A hint of murderous intent flashed in Huo Mingjue's eyes, "However, if this matter is not resolved, I'm afraid everyone's life will be difficult, and when the time comes, no one can afford to blame the county commander." ”

"In this way, this evening, on the street in front of this yamen, you and I will have a competition, and the one who loses will see the one who wins, no matter when and where he retreats, how about it?"

The time and place arranged by Huo Mingjue obviously wanted to make a big deal about this matter.

But for Xu Rong, this is exactly what he wants.

"Since Huo Zhutou has said so, then I will naturally accompany him to the end, but when the time comes, no one will be able to afford to lose, then it will be a shame."

Xu Rong has absolute confidence in the competition.

Huo Mingjue snorted coldly: "I think I have a little ability to be so arrogant, I will naturally see it when the time comes, let's go." ”

Seeing Huo Mingjue and his party leave, the corners of Xu Rong's mouth hooked slightly: "Grandpa, I have already sent it to Xu Mo's house, I want to see how you win me." ”

……

Xu Rong came to the stronghold in Xicheng District, but found that there was no official here today, and there was no one to catch fast, obviously no one was on his side.

"That saves me from cleaning up myself."

Xu Rong was not dissatisfied with this, but was quite comfortable.

He didn't wait here for long, and one by one sturdy men came to report here.

These are the people sent by the rich businessmen to maintain order.

According to Xu Rong's request, they will be divided into their own jurisdictions here, and what happens in this area will be maintained by them.

If there's something you can't handle, come back to him.

Of course, this is just an emergency measure, and after Xu Rong wins Huo Mingjue in the competition, there will naturally be many catchers and servants who will come to his side.

When the time comes, he can select some of these people and become his cronies, and the others become his minions, so as to enhance his influence in the yamen in one fell swoop.

When assigning areas to these people, Xu Rong noticed that Liu Zizai and Chen Xiaoer actually came over together.

After giving these people sent by the wealthy merchants a stern warning, Xu Rong sent them away.

Xu Rong looked at Liu Zizai and Chen Xiaoer, and asked with some surprise, "Why are you here?" ”

Liu Zizi consciously sat down, and then said, "Didn't I hear that you and Huo Mingjue were going to fight, so I came to persuade you." ”

Xu Rong looked at Chen Xiaoer: "Are you too?" ”

Chen Xiaoer nodded a little stiffly: "I'm a little worried, so ......"

He knew that Xu Rong's strength was very strong, but it was not clear how strong he was and whether he could steadily defeat Huo Mingjue.

"Come, sit, don't be so polite, just be like Lao Liu."

Putting aside the small contradiction caused by the "uneven distribution of spoils" before, in fact, Xu Rong and Liu Zizai got along quite well before.

This is also the reason why Liu Zizi is quite casual.

Seeing Chen Xiaoer sitting down, Xu Rong asked, "Huo Mingjue sent someone to deliberately publicize it, right?" ”

"Yes, since this Huo Mingjue is so confident, I advise you to push it better, or give in to him, even if this matter is in the past, otherwise with my understanding of him, you will definitely suffer in the future."

Liu Zizai said with emotion.

Chen Xiaoer didn't speak, but he also looked at Xu Rong.

Xu Rong shook his head: "This matter, starting from the order of the county commander, unless I am a shrinking turtle, I am destined to fight with him, since he chose the way I am best at, then I will naturally not be stupid enough to retreat." ”

"Don't worry, it's not much of a problem for me to win a Huo Mingjue."

Hearing this, Liu Zizai frowned, he had seen Xu Rong make a move before, and he knew something about Xu Rong's strength.

"Huo Mingjue is at least in the realm of refining the marrow, so you are so confident that you can take him? And this person is scheming, you don't know how many pounds and taels you have just because you have become a deputy catcher. ”

This was a bit unkind, but Xu Rong was still able to distinguish between good and bad words.

Xu Rong said with a smile: "Don't worry, you can watch it tonight, and in the future, this Xicheng District will be what I say." ”
