"Wu Zhutou, Wu Dutou, Qinghe County Commander specially came to visit, and they are waiting for the two of them in the main hall!"

The little guy reported truthfully.

Hearing this, Wu Zhi's expression froze.

He pondered in his heart that the Qinghe County Commander suddenly came to visit at this juncture, probably for the purpose of exterminating the bandits in Qingfeng Mountain yesterday.

And it's coming early in the morning, so I'm in a hurry!

Maybe there's something in mind!

Wu Song couldn't make up his mind for a while, and he didn't dare to take a step.

"Brother, shall we go see that old fellow?"

"Of course."

Wu Zhi smiled and nodded, with his hands behind his back, and walked in front alone.

Wu Song followed.

And the little guy who came over to ventilate the news at the beginning was responsible for leading the way, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, I really can't blame him for being too nervous, there is a fierce-looking Wu Song behind him, and anyone will feel nervous!

After a short time, several people finally arrived in the main hall.

Wu Zhi stepped into the threshold with his front foot and said, "Don't come to the county magistrate, don't be harmed!" Yesterday, I was really tired after the war, so I didn't go to the county government to visit, and the county lord came in person today. ”

As soon as he said this, he completely seized the opportunity.

Qinghe County Ling Shang Yuning, even if he wanted to say something to blame, he could only swallow the words back into his stomach first.

It's normal for people to be tired from fighting, not to mention that they are not from Qinghe County, and they are not within the jurisdiction, so it is even more difficult to be too strong.

"Wu Zhutou said that it was a big deal, you guys to suppress bandits, otherwise I wouldn't have come to thank you in person."

With that, Shang Yuning waved his hand outward.

Immediately, several officers and soldiers walked in carrying heavy boxes, and when they were placed on the ground, they made a muffled sound, which was enough to show that they were full of things, and the weight was not light.

After Wu Zhi saw these boxes, he was relieved.

It must be full of gold, silver and jewelry, this Shang Yuning is so generous.

Why is there always a feeling that the weasel is uneasy and kind to the chickens?

"Wu Zhutou, you and Wudutou exterminated the bandits on the two mountains, benefiting thousands of people around, and this county order only sends a thin gift on behalf of Qinghe County, I hope to accept it."

Shang Yuning said with a flattering smile.

Wu Zhi did not nod in response to accept these treasures, his eyes looked into the other party's eyes, and his voice was indifferent.

"If you have nothing to do, go to the Three Treasures Palace, let's say, what are you looking for me today?"

"Wu Zhutou is really smart!"

Shang Yuning gave a thumbs up to show his admiration, and the smile on his face never stopped.

Things have developed to this point, there is no need to continue to hide, he simply spreads his purpose on the surface.

"Wu Zhutou, you should have known when you came out to suppress the bandits that after this operation is over, Qinghe County will merge with Yanggu County, leaving only the latter's name."

"I know that you have prestige in Yanggu County and are respected by countless people, so I want to recommend you as a master, how about it?"

"As long as you nod your head, when the people of the two counties jointly sign a letter, your position as a master will be stable, and I will make a decision on the face of the government, but in private it is all up to you."

When Wu Zhi heard these words, his expression was wonderful.

He was still sighing at the Qinghe County Order before, and he gave him white taels of silver, which was more generous than the county guard.

But now I can't see it.

According to Shang Yuning, the authority of the two counties has been handed over, is it so casual?

For the sake of prudence, Wu Zhi did not dare to agree at will, for fear that the other party's path would fall into a trap.

"Lord County Commander, don't you have a master? Do you have to let me be? ”

"My master met bandits on the road half a month ago, and he had already died a long time ago, and the body was buried, and I myself am a greedy master who is afraid of death, if you can be the master, the deterrent is there, and naturally no one in the two counties dares to provoke."

Shang Yuning finally told the truth.

When the words fell, Wu Zhicai finally knew what this guy was planning.

While sneering in his heart, he was also calculating the reasonableness of this deal.

With the recommendation of the Qinghe County Order, coupled with the will of the people, his position as a master will be stable, and he will have greater real power at that time.

What's more, Shang Yuning is too cowardly and willing to hand over sovereignty to him, so there is no reason to refuse.

Thinking of this, Wu Zhi smiled and took the initiative to take a cup of tea and serve it.

"Lord Prefectural, please advise me soon."

"It should be, it should be."

Seeing that the other party finally nodded, Shang Yuning thought to himself that he didn't spend money on cutting meat in vain, and with the Wu brothers, he didn't have to worry about going to Yanggu County to serve when the time came.

He thanked him again for a thousand thanks, and because there were still important matters to be dealt with in the yamen, he said goodbye and left.

Since Wu Zhi had received the favor of others, he took Wu Song all the way to send Shang Yuning to the door.

The man had already sat in the carriage, but at the moment when he lowered the curtain, he suddenly stopped his movements, and suddenly pulled away and looked out again.

His eyes crossed the crowd and stared closely at the inside of Hujiazhuang.

Wu Zhi looked at it for a long time and didn't know what this guy was looking at, and just about to ask for an explanation, the carriage door curtain was lowered again.

Shang Yuning jumped out of the carriage, swept past everyone, and ran to Hujiazhuang without caring about the gaffe, stopping in front of a maid who was cleaning.

"Laneige, is that you?"

With a snap, the handmaid fell to the ground with the broom in her hand, trembling and looking up.

After seeing the person in front of him, his eyes suddenly turned red and tears flowed down his face.

"Daddy!"

When the father and daughter saw each other, the two hugged their heads and cried, attracting the sideways glances of countless servants passing by.

Wu Zhi was wondering in his heart, but this kind of thing poked people's sore spots, and it was not good to come forward and ask too clearly, so he immediately fell into a kind of entanglement.

Hu Sanniang walked over at this time, glanced at the father and daughter not far away, and sighed.

"Qinghe County Ling lost his beloved daughter a year ago, it is said that he was captured by bandits, life and death are uncertain, I never expected to meet here today, it is really fate."

"I see."

Seeing this touching scene, Wu Zhi also felt moved, and nodded with a soft smile.

Wu Song also knew each other and didn't bother with anything.

And Shang Yuning, on his side, finally learned about the whole process of being rescued from his daughter, pulled someone to Wuzhi, and knelt on the ground without saying a word.

"Wu Zhutou, I didn't think you were Laneige's life-saving benefactor, I don't know how to thank you, please accept my worship!"

"That's a big deal."

Wu Zhi hurriedly helped the person up, he really didn't like this way of thanking the ancients, he always felt weird.

However, Shang Yuning didn't kneel, he felt that something was wrong in his heart, so he simply made a new decision.

"Wu Zhutou, after the merger of Qinghe County and Yanggu County, I will ask the old man to return to his hometown and give you the position of the county order, which can be regarded as repaying part of the favor!"

"Don't mind, you can't help it!"
