Three days later, after walking more than 100 miles, Wugang County was finally in sight.

When he was still entering the county, Sun Siwen sent someone to the county seat in advance to inform him that the new county magistrate was coming.

In fact, as for the news of the new county Cheng coming to office, those local snakes in Wugang County learned about it through the spies buried in Fucheng as early as two days ago.

Not only did they learn the news, but they also learned that Xinxian Cheng had come to take office with 500 officers and soldiers.

Hearing this news, many local heroes couldn't help but be shocked.

For a small county with a population of 20,000 or 30,000, an army of 500 people is already a huge number.

The last time the county government sent an army to quell the rebellion, it was only 2,000 people.

For a while, many people who were originally a little cautious couldn't help but restrain themselves, and were ready to wait and see the direction of the wind, try the quality of this new county man, and then decide on the next step.

Therefore, early in the morning, the envoys sent by them, the five big clans in the county, the two gangs, and the representatives of the Miao villages outside the city all gathered at the gate of the city.

Following the people in the city who were forcibly pulled to gather the number of people, hundreds of people gathered together to welcome the arrival of the county lord.

The sun slowly rose and soon it was noon.

The people at the city gate waited for more than an hour, and they were tired from their feet, and their foreheads were sweaty.

These old men who are in high positions and pampered on weekdays have gradually become impatient in their hearts, and they are secretly angry that the county master has not yet come, and he is so big.

Even those gangsters who are messy and grumpy don't want to wait any longer and are ready to leave.

Fortunately, those big clan talkers in the county next to them stopped them and persuaded them: "Maybe the county Cheng is a little late in leaving, so they didn't come for a long time." When the new county official takes office, we, the local gentry, do not come to greet us, and we may be considered snubbed. Brother Zhao had better wait a little longer. ”

That Brother Zhao is the leader of the Blue and White Gang in the city.

The Qinghua Gang was originally just a small gang of dozens of people, but this time, taking advantage of the chaos of the county's fall, they wantonly recruited people into the gang, and in a short period of time, the number of people skyrocketed to three or four hundred.

Now he controls two streets in the city, two or three people's squares, and relies on the merchants and people like the street people's squares to collect protection fees and support hundreds of people in the gang.

But in doing so, it is undoubtedly robbing the interests of the government.

Therefore, for the arrival of the new county, this Zhao gang leader is very dissatisfied, and he is the one who does not want people to take office.

Originally, he was going to rob and kill the newly appointed officials on the way.

What is hateful is that the new county is escorted by an army of 500 people, which is more than his gang after several rounds of expansion.

Therefore, the original idea can only be abandoned.

Thinking of this, Gang Leader Zhao snorted angrily, but after being able to persuade him, he also came down to the stage, and at this time he said in a strange manner: "Master Ning, we are afraid that we will snub this new county man, but this new county man I don't know if he has ever thought that he will snub us?"

All of you present are all virtuous people in my Wugang County, and the new county magistrate is so snub and virtuous, I don't know if you ever thought that without our help, how could he, an outsider, govern a huge county seat? ”

Hearing these obvious provocative words, the representatives of several surrounding forces all had different expressions.

There are empathetic ones, some expressionless ones, and some secretly frowning......

Seeing this, Gang Master Zhao was overjoyed.

The reason why he behaved like this was not simply because he felt that he was being slighted. is more about taking this opportunity to unite all families, and then boycott the county prince together.

And he did not believe.

The families in their county are united, and they can make up two or three thousand people, even if the new county man brings five hundred soldiers, can he still make waves?

Striking while the iron was hot, Gang Leader Zhao wanted to say something, but at this moment, a puff of smoke and dust flew up in the distance.

Then I saw the earth trembling slightly, and an army that stretched for a mile was marching towards the county seat with neat steps.

After the past few days of training, Lu Yuan's team has gradually taken on some appearance in terms of marching in line.

At this time, from a distance, the competition has the appearance of a heroic division. Coupled with the fierce spirit of those mountain people, after wearing the armor, it is even more intimidating.

Gang Master Zhao, who originally wanted to speak, saw this scene, his throat seemed to be blocked, and he opened his mouth twice, but he didn't say anything after all.

At this moment, he saw that in the middle of the army, three or five horsemen broke away from the team and rushed towards the city gate.

The first person is a black armor and red horse, mighty and extraordinary.

Lu Yuan patted his horse and came to the crowd of people waiting, glanced at them with sharp eyes, and saw that everyone's hearts were tight, and then said unhurriedly: "Are all the heroes of the big clans in the county here?" ”

Although his words were flat, with the momentum on his body and the foil of the army behind him, it brought a great sense of oppression to everyone.

Grunt!

The sound of swallowing saliva suddenly sounded a lot next to it.

"Back to this general, the five clans in the city, the two gangs, and the three Miao people have all arrived." It was the Ning family master who had persuaded the Zhao gang leader before.

"Really?"

Lu Yuan's eyes wandered, he sat on his horse, glanced at the people below, looked at their nervous expressions, and finally showed a smile on his face: "That's good." On the way here, the county heard that the middle sect of bandits in the county was in chaos, and he was worried that there were thieves everywhere here, and they would defend the city?

Now it seems that there are still some good people in the city. ”

Hearing this sarcastic words, as well as Lu Yuan's lofty posture, these "big people" who were "powerful" in the county and called for wind and rain suddenly looked a little ugly.

However, looking at the army getting closer and closer in the distance, these people didn't dare to attack after all, and they didn't even dare to reply with a sarcasm.

Lu Yuan couldn't help but sneer when he saw the cowardice of this group of people, and then waved his horsewhip and said, "Okay, since Lord Xiancheng is here, then you will also welcome people, now step aside."

From this day on, the defense of the city will be taken over by the soldiers and horses of this officer.

Do you have any comments? ”

As he spoke, he looked down.

Those who originally heard that they were going to take over the city defense and wanted to refuse, were swept away by this sight, and they were suddenly frightened and bowed their heads in retreat.

Many people can see that the general in front of them is sending off Ma Wei.

Partially.

Looking at the other party's heroic posture, looking at the army of banner hunting behind him, no one dared to stand up for the first bird.

Because no one knows if he will be killed as the chicken to show the monkey.

At this time, the army behind had already arrived at the city gate.

According to Lu Yuan's original arrangement, they quickly drove into the city, dispersed the rabble guarding the city gate, and took over the city defense.

And as the defense of the city gate was taken over, Sun Siwen's carriage also came.

The car stopped at the city gate, and Sun Siwen stood out of the carriage.

After looking around, looking at the heroes of the big clan who were frightened by Lu Yuan and turned slightly pale, Sun Xiancheng showed a smile on his face, and said, "I have to wait for you." The official came from afar, and the boat and car were tired, so he didn't say much.

Tonight in the county government, the official held a banquet, and invited everyone to enjoy their faces.

At that time, in the cocktail party, I will discuss with all the fathers and elders about the plan of governing the county. ”

Looking at the appearance of Cheng Siwen in Xinxian County, those frightened heroes of the big clan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, seeing that the other party was not ruthless, it seemed that he planned to govern the county with himself and others, and he couldn't help but be secretly happy.

"Since Lord Xiancheng is tired, let's rest first. If you wear out the adults, then it is our sin. ”

"Don't worry, my lord, tonight's banquet will come."

"Exactly! Yes, extremely! The county invites you, whoever dares not to go is against me! ”

These people immediately expressed their stance one after another.

Looking at them, Lu Yuan and Sun Siwen glanced at each other, and they both saw the smile in their friend's eyes.

The Hongmen banquet has been set, and now it is waiting for the fish to take the bait.

Subsequently, Sun Siwen excused himself and returned to the car.

And Lu Yuan also escorted him all the way to the county government.

Now that it has been decided to hold a Hongmen banquet, some preparations will naturally be made, otherwise what if you are in a hurry and miss a big event?

In this regard, the two are still very serious.
