Before dawn, Zhang Ming finally returned to Princess Ayaluo's side, and Princess Ayaluo didn't even know that Zhang Ming went to Hulu Valley at night to fight with the four strong men.
After breakfast, everyone continued on the road to Anxi Mansion.
In the afternoon, Zhang Ming pointed to the tall city wall and said with a smile: "Ayaluo, this is Anxi Mansion City." Princess Ayara said: "Compared with the capital, Anxi Mansion is far behind. ”
Qiulan said: "Your Royal Highness Princess, after all, the capital is the center of the Great Qian Dynasty, and it is not comparable to the Fucheng. In fact, Anxi Mansion is still very good compared to other prefectures. ”
Because Anxi Mansion is adjacent to the barbarians, the city is very strong, and the barbarians have invaded many times, but they have not broken the city. The city of Anzai is like a military fortress.
As the head of Anxi Mansion, Zhang Ming is still under a lot of pressure.
After entering the city, Zhang Ming obviously felt that the atmosphere was wrong.
"Let's go, go to the Yamen of Anxi Mansion. Zhang Ming said lightly.
When he arrived at the Yamen, Zhang Ming's face suddenly became gloomy, and there were only a few officials in the entire Yamen, and the others were nowhere to be found.
"Where's the people?" Zhang Ming asked, catching a small official.
The little official said: "Lord Fuzun, before yesterday, all the adults were ill and wanted to rest for a while. So all the adults went home. ”
Zhang Ming sneered in his heart, his body was sick, this is embarrassing me. Those officials who left were all from major families, and they thought that without the yamen, Anxi Mansion would not be able to function. The family and sects are all silently protesting, hoping that Zhang Ming can compromise.
Eighty percent of the officials in the Yamen of Anxi Mansion left, and the people who stayed were all poor families and had nothing to do with the family sect. These poor officials are also the targets of exclusion in ordinary times.
"Since you are in poor health, then the lord of this mansion will give them a long vacation and let them recuperate at home for ten years. Zhang Ming didn't believe that without the officials of these families, the entire yamen would be paralyzed. It is better for officials who are not of the same heart as themselves to leave, so as not to pull themselves back when they get to do things.
"Ahh ”
The little official exclaimed and said, "Mansion Master, this is not in accordance with the rules. The imperial court has never allowed officials to recuperate for ten years. ”
Zhang Ming said: "There is nothing unruly, they don't want to be officials, then the lord of the mansion will fulfill them." As I mean, write the notice and post it. The emperor was there, and the official went to explain in person. ”
Zhang Ming entered Anxi Mansion to do things, and he didn't have so much energy and time to talk to them. They don't want to do it, so let them get out.
The little official nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, Lord Mansion, the lower official will go and write a notice." ”
Princess Ayara said, "Xianggong, it seems that the officials of Anxi Mansion don't like you very much." ”
Zhang Ming said with a smile: "They really don't like me, but I don't like them either." Let's settle down first. ”
............
There are not enough people, and it is indeed difficult to do things, Zhang Ming plans to find Yu Cheng, the head catcher of Qing'an County, and Huang Yun, a staff member. The two of them have good abilities and can help Zhang Ming a lot.
Then, Zhang Ming issued another order, asking all the bandits in the mountains of Anxi Province to disband, or leave the territory of Anxi Province for a period of one month. A month later, there are still bandits and bandits in Anxi Province, who will be hunted down and wanted by the government.
When this order reached the Zhenbei General's Mansion, Tian Ye sneered, wanting him to take the army to suppress the bandits, which was impossible. Zhang Ming is a fourth-grade official, and he is also a fourth-grade general, so why should he listen to him?
Three days later, Yu Cheng and Huang Yun rushed to the Yamen of Fucheng.
"My lord, no, it's time to call me a lord. Huang Yun was very happy to see Zhang Ming, he was a scholar, and he felt very honored to be favored by Zhang Ming now. He can even foresee that Zhang Ming will soar in the future, and he, Huang Yun, will follow closely behind Zhang Ming, and he will also be prosperous and rich.
Zhang Ming is not only the champion, but also the master of the horse, he is the master of the house at a young age, and his future achievements can be imagined.
Yu Cheng hugged his fists and said: "Yu Cheng has seen Lord Fuzun. ”
Yu Cheng not only recovered from his injuries, but also had a trace of diligence in his cultivation, shameful and brave, he was seriously injured by Yu Ji, and he wanted to take revenge with a sigh of relief.
Zhang Ming said to the two: "You are all very good, in the past few months that I have been in the capital, Qing'an County has been operating normally, and there has been no chaos in the Holy Church. That's good. Now that the official is being resisted by the entire Anxi Mansion family sect, it is really a bit difficult to move an inch, so the official plans to let them help me. ”
"My subordinates swear to follow Lord Fuzun to the death!" the two hurriedly said.
"You guys go down, and tomorrow you will go to the Zhenbei General's Mansion with this official. Zhang Ming said.
Several days passed, and there was no movement in the Zhenbei General's Mansion, and there was no pressure on the bandits in Anxi, so Zhang Ming had no choice but to go to the field in person.
Early the next morning, Zhang Ming took Yu Cheng and Huang Yun to the Zhenbei General's Mansion.
"When I went in to inform General Zhenbei, I said that Zhang Ming was visiting. Zhang Ming said to the guards at the door.
The guards went in to report, and soon they walked out.
"Lord Zhang, our general is not here, you better please go back. She said coldly. To be honest, she was a little afraid of Zhang Ming, Zhang Ming's swordsmanship made her cold, and now her cheeks seemed to be faintly painful.
Yu Cheng saw Yu Ji and snorted coldly: "If you say you're not there, you're not there?" ”
Seeing this woman, Yu Cheng naturally didn't have a good face, a few months ago, not only was she robbed of the goods, but she was also seriously injured. This hatred cannot be insignificant.
Yu Ji glared at Yu Cheng and did not speak.
Zhang Ming closed his eyes and carefully sensed the breath in the general's mansion, the four innate martial artists would not be wrong, but the breath of the field was a little weak and scattered, thinking that it was because he was seriously injured by himself.
"Xuan, you said that the field is not there?" Zhang Ming said with a smile, "Then the official wants to go in and have a look." ”
Yu Ji said loudly: "Lord Zhang, this is the Zhenbei General's Mansion, not the Yamen of Anxi Mansion, without the general's order, even if you are the lord of the mansion, you can't go in!"
The innate qi on Zhang Ming's body flashed away, shaking away the Xuan Qi that was blocking in front of him. Yu Ji's cultivation, compared with Zhang Ming, is too far behind, and it is not at the same level at all. Fortunately, Zhang Ming's men showed mercy and did not hurt her.
Zhang Ming strode into the General's Mansion, followed by Yu Cheng and Huang Yun.
"Zhang Ming, you are so bold. Breaking into the General's Mansion is a capital offense!" the voice of the field sounded loudly.
Tian Ye still walked out with three scattered cultivators. Zhang Ming broke in, and he was not allowed to continue to be a turtle with a shrunken head.
Zhang Ming said with a smile: "General Tian, your voice is loud and full of energy, it seems that your injuries are getting better quickly." If this official doesn't break in, how can he meet General Tian? Tianye, your shelf is really big, and it won't be so difficult for me to meet the emperor. ”
The cold light in Tian Ye's eyes flashed, and he sneered: "Nonsense. Zhang Ming, don't talk nonsense, let's talk about it, what do you want to do when you break into the Zhenbei General's Mansion? Do you still want to kill us and the others?"
Listening to Tian Ye's tone, people who don't know still think that Tian Ye is a victim.
"Tian Ye, this official wants to make sure that there is not a single bandit in Anxi Mansion, and it has been several days since the order was given, but now the army under your command has not moved at all. The emperor asked us to come to Anxi Mansion to do things, and you were so uncooperative. Zhang Ming stared at the field and said solemnly.
Tian Ye sneered: "It's just a bandit, isn't it enough to have you Master Zhang?"
Zhang Ming said: "There are at least more than 100,000 bandits and bandits in the entire Anxi Province, and the mobilization of the army can at least give them a deterrent." I'll give them a month, or they're going to go on a killing spree. I don't want a river of blood to be shed by then. ”
Zhang Ming didn't think that he could let all the bandits and bandits go down the mountain and disband with a single order, so he needed the cooperation of the army to give deterrence, but he didn't expect that Tian Ye would not cooperate at all. Once the one-month period has passed, the bandits who have not yet descended the mountain will become the souls of Zhang Ming's sword. If so, many will die.
Zhang Ming had read so many sage books, and of course he didn't want to kill more.
Tian Ye said: "General Ben has not received an order from the imperial court, how can the army move lightly? Zhang Ming, you better go back, it is your idea to suppress bandits, and General Ben has no interest in participating." ”
Zhang Ming frowned slightly, this guy in the field, regardless of the overall situation, is really damned. Such a person, being a general, is not a blessing for the court, let alone a blessing for the people.
"Good. Field, you have a kind!" Zhang Ming said coldly, "This official will report this matter to the imperial court and inform the emperor." What you did today has a time when you regret it. ”
........................
Tianyun Mountain, the largest bandit force in Anxi Mansion, the big boss Pang Qingshan is a half-step innate martial artist, with thousands of bandits under his command, and he can be described as a local overlord in Anxi Mansion.
Today, Tianyun Mountain gathered the bandit leaders of various forces, and they gathered to resist Zhang Ming.
Pang Qingshan looked at the hundreds of people below and said loudly: "Everyone, many of you have grudges against each other, but now everyone must give up their grudges and unite closely, otherwise it will be the way to die." ”
"Everyone knows that there is a great character in our Anxi Mansion, the champion of the dynasty, the master of the horse, Zhang Ming and Lord Zhang! Zhang Ming's martial arts and swordsmanship, there is no need for Pang to say more, I think everyone also knows, that is a strong man who can fight with the little living Buddha of Leiyin Temple, it is said that the Zhenbei general Tian Ye was suppressed by Zhang Ming. Our Lord Zhang is very unfriendly, he wants to suppress the bandits, and we are limited to disband the brothers within a month, and go down the mountain to become common people, otherwise, we will be killed!"
Before Pang Qingshan's words were finished, there was a noise below. Zhang Ming is trying to drive them to a dead end.
"Huge master, your martial arts are the strongest among us, you say, what should we do?" a middle-aged man said loudly.
Pang Qingshan's eyes flashed with evil anger, and he said firmly: "If Zhang Ming doesn't give us a way to live, we can only resist to the end." People from several major families have already contacted Pang, and we will get their support. Zhang Ming's martial arts are strong, but he is a thorn in the side of the family sect, and if he wants to get rid of it quickly, we have 100,000 brothers, so we still have a great chance of winning. Isn't Zhang Ming going to kill us in a month? Then let's strike first and kill him!"
"Kill him!"
"Kill him!"
"Kill him!"
Hundreds of warriors roared at the same time, and the sound shook the entire Tianyun Mountain.
