Chapter 197 Tianmen County

A large fox car is running on the road.

After Zhang Wei settled the matter in Nanhe Village, he followed the three sisters of the Hu family to Tianmen County in their fox cart.

The fox pulling the cart is called the Chasing Fox, which is a different species of fox. It grows very big, fast, and has strong endurance. More than a dozen of these foxes are pulling the fox cart and galloping, as if sitting on a high-speed rail.

The carriage of the fox cart is very large, about three feet long and more than ten feet wide, because there are many flowers on the carriage, this cart is also called a float.

This is the exclusive compartment of the Spring God Envoy.

Zhang Wei was lying on the bed, with the clingy Hu Qinghao on his side and Xiaoqian on the other side.On the opposite side is Hu Jubai, and next to Hu Jubai is Hu Jingmo.

A faint scent of tea surrounds the carriage.This tea is the finest fox armpit tea collected in the fox tea garden of Jilei Mountain.

The so-called fox armpit means rare.

The yield of this tea is not high, and the tea has a strong aroma. After being steeped by Hu Jubai's skillful hands, the taste is very good.

Zhang Wei is sitting in a fox cart, drinking tea, and is about to take office in Tianmen County!
The journey was safe and there was no carjacking incident.

Three days later, Zhang Wei saw the majestic Tianshan Mountains and arrived at Tianmen County, his jurisdiction.

The Tianshan water irrigates here, and the Tianshan Mountains block the cold wind from the north. The land in Tianmen County is fertile, with forests, grasslands, and lakes.

The only bad thing is that there are too few people here.

It has half the area of ​​Jiangnan Road, but only has the same population as Jinhua Mansion.Most of the human beings in the county live within a hundred miles of Tianmen County.

The management of this person is quite convenient, but the most people in Tianmen County are not people.

Entering the county seat, Zhang Wei said to the three sisters of the Hu family, "I'm going to report to the county government, so you should go back first."

Hu Qinghao said with a smile, "I'll go with you."

Zhang Wei smiled slightly and looked at Hu Jubai.Hu Jubai immediately understood what he meant, grabbed Hu Qinghao and said, "You have to go back with me to greet grandma first."

Hu Qinghao reluctantly agreed.

Zhang Wei also understood that there was nothing he could do about Hu Qinghao.He will hit the girl with the stick if he is soft, and he will hit the girl with the stick if he is hard.Zhang Wei is that stick!
But Hu Jubai is still a good big sister, she can control this vixen.

The three vixens bid farewell to Zhang Wei, and Hu Qinghao said with a smile, "Zhang Lang, I'll come to you after I finish greeting grandma."

Here in Tianmen County, so close to Dejilei Mountain, Hu Qinghao might not have a chance!

The three vixens left in a float, and Zhang Wei led his own people to the county government.

Tianmen County is a county with a long history, which has existed since the ancient demon court period.The buildings here are adhering to the ancient and modern styles.There are not only the palace style of the golden tiles with the cornices of the Central Plains, but also the exotic style of the domes and columns outside the Great Wall.

The same goes for the people on the street, and there are many blond and blue-eyed Rakshasa and Guifang people here.These people are here to trade.

Although Tianmen County is far away from the Central Plains, it is also rich and prosperous.It's just that this kind of prosperity and wealth doesn't attract the people of the Central Plains.

Not long after walking, a building appeared in front of him.

The walls with red walls and black tiles, the buildings with red walls and gold tiles, and the two enlightened beasts carved from jade at the entrance are as high as one foot. The carvings are exquisite and majestic.

It's just that there is not even a single soldier at the gate of the county yamen, and the red-lacquered gate with copper nails is impressive, but it is also tightly closed.

Zhang Wei frowned, and went up to knock on the door first.

The door knocker made of brass made a 'bang bang' sound.I knocked several times in a row, but no one responded.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Wei felt a little annoyed, what's going on with this yamen?It's so negligent.

So he said to the weasel: "Xiao Huang go in and see if there is any living person inside!"

The weasel responded, jumped a few times, grabbed the wall and jumped into the county government office.

Not long after, the gate of the county government opened, but it was the weasel who opened the door.

He said to Zhang Wei: "Uncle, there is no one here."

Zhang Wei laughed angrily when he heard this.

"It's broad daylight, why is there no one in this county government office?" Without even thinking about it, he opened the door and walked in.

Behind the gate is a screen wall of enlightened beasts.Behind the screen wall is the main hall.The plaque hanging high in the mirror is hanging on the high hall, and below it is the wall with the picture of the rising sun.

In front of the wall is a desk with a gavel and a sign.This is where Zhang Wei will sit in court to handle the case in the future.

Facing the main hall, there is a large courtyard on the left, which is the office of the sixth room of the county government.The right side leads to the back hall, which is the back hall where the county magistrate lives.

There is also a small Town God's Temple at the corner on the right hand side.

Green pines stand tall in Yamen, surrounded by green bamboos, and there are flat bluestone roads under your feet.This county government office is not shabby at all.

Just as Zhang Wei was looking at his 'home', suddenly there was a shout behind him.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass on the county government office!"

Zhang Wei looked back, but it was the voice of a bearded, hulking man.

He was wearing a red and black captor's clothes, and he was accompanied by two younger captives.But looking at their appearance, their eyes were a little blurred, as if they had just finished drinking.

Zhang Wei raised his head to look at the sky, and it was only morning and it was not time to rest at noon.He sneered and said, "Look at you, are you the county government's catcher? Why are you drinking wine before it's dark?"

Hearing Zhang Wei's words, the man stared like a brass bell, and said loudly, "It's none of your business! You're a thief who broke into the county government, how dare you teach grandpa me a lesson!"

After finishing speaking, he raised his fist the size of a sandbag, dashed forward, and punched Zhang Wei.

There is quite a method between this stride and punch, and the style of martial arts in the north really lives up to its reputation.

At this time, Huang Dou beside Zhang Wei bumped into the big man, knocking the big man and turning him on his back.

The big man fell to the ground and rolled around a few times, then stood up touching his head, and said in his mouth: "I haven't drunk a few catties, why can't I beat a dog."

When Huang Dou heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly, his heart was full of 'killing intent', and he rushed towards the big man.

The big man didn't let him go, he punched Soybean.

This big man has big arms and a thick waist, with a thick back, and this punch is also fierce.

If an ordinary dog ​​is hit by him, it will be disabled even if it does not die.But what he faced was soybeans.

The heavy fist hit Huangdou's head, Huangdou didn't do anything wrong, but the big man frowned, cold sweat broke out on his forehead in an instant, and then quickly took a few steps back.

His hand trembled slightly, but he fractured his hand bone!
Now that his drink was gone, he backed away and looked at Zhang Wei and the others apprehensively, and then said to the two police officers beside him, "Blow the whistle and shake people!"

The two policemen also woke up from the drink. They looked at each other, then took out the bone whistle in their arms, and blew vigorously.

The bone whistle of "Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow" and this big man blocked the gate of the county government with a gloomy face.

Not long after, thunderous hooves sounded.This time, there were hoofbeats in all directions.

A large group of catchers and postmen appeared at the gate of the county government on horseback.

One of the handsome young men looked at the scene, and said with a smile: "Who offended our brother Guanghu? Is it the person in front of you?"

The big man glanced at him and said, "Shi Juncai, don't get carried away, you little boy, the person in front of you is not simple."

This handsome young man named Shi Juncai smiled and said, "Really, then I have to see what kind of guy he is!"

After speaking, he jumped up from the horse, drew a soft sword from his waist, and stabbed at Zhang Wei.

The soft sword made a "squeaky" sound, and Xiaoqian beside Zhang Wei pulled out the lady sword from her jade clam, and went up to meet this person.

Xiaoqian's swordsmanship has been learned to the gray and white apes. The swordsmanship of these two apes is fast, accurate and ruthless, and it is a fast sword.

And Xiaoqian jumped up, and the lady sword in her hand pointed towards it continuously, reflecting a little bit of silver light.

The two of them fought more than a dozen swords in just one or two breaths of time in the air.

This handsome young man couldn't get any advantage, but after landing, Xiaoqian's speed suddenly increased and she turned into a shadow, rushing towards him.

After a few breaths, the handsome man covered his key parts and backed away, because Xiaoqian had pierced holes in his clothes.

Xiaoqian doesn't need to hurt others, but she can't be too polite.It was just right to puncture the clothes, not to hurt him, but to hit him.

This handsome young man's face turned red for a while. It was the first time he had his clothes punctured at such a young age, and he almost disappeared.

He immediately shouted: "Bows and arrows ready! Shoot them to death!"

At this time, Zhang Wei took a step forward, and said in a flat but unquestionable voice: "I am the champion of Jinke, the new county magistrate Zhang Wei. Are you going to shoot me?"

When the person who was setting the bow heard it, the movements in his hands slowed down.The imperial court sent an urgent letter, saying that a new top scholar was coming to take office.

Counting the time, it's about the same.

These people hesitated for a while, and the big man said: "There is no evidence for what you say, but there is evidence."

Zhang Wei sneered, and said: "Even if there is evidence, who are you, can you check my certificate? When the county magistrate assumes his new post, there should be three witnesses, the chief secretary, the postman, and the county lieutenant. If the three cannot come for some reason, There should be the pawns of the Six Houses present. If the pawns don’t show up, it can be regarded as a rebellion in this county, which is tantamount to rebellion.”

"I just want to ask, where are the three chief officials now? Where is the sixth house pawn? What's going on with this empty yamen!"

Zhang Wei is familiar with the laws and regulations of Dagan, and these words immediately calmed down these people.At this time, the handsome man suddenly said: "I asked you to show evidence, but you didn't come out, and you talked nonsense with us, I think you are a fake, come here, shoot me an arrow!"

A foreign official who comes to work in a place that he doesn't know at all will be taken care of at the beginning.What Zhang Wei said is correct.But the reality is that it takes a month or even longer for many newly appointed county magistrates to actually perform their duties.

for what?It is because they are stuck in the place.

If you can't perform your duties, you can't exercise the power of the county magistrate.This time is equivalent to a power vacuum, and the officials below will take this opportunity to cover up their right and wrong.

The unlucky county magistrate was killed at this stage, and there was not much to do.

But Zhang Wei dared to do this because he was a master of art and bold.

He took out a cloth bag from his bosom, then swung the cloth bag, and five hundred stones were thrown out.The stones exploded instantly after they hit the ground, turning into seven-foot-tall stone figurines.

Holding a long spear, the stone figurines immediately surrounded the gate of the county government office to protect Zhang Wei.

This sudden change shocked everyone.

Zhang Wei said coldly: "Assaulting and killing an official ordered by the court is tantamount to treason, an unforgivable crime. Are you sure you want to do this?"

After his words fell, these tall stone figurines took a step forward, trampled on the ground vigorously, and made a 'boom' sound.

This time, the people present did not dare to move.

This person not only claimed that he was the county magistrate, but also used a spell (they didn't know it was a magic weapon).Everyone looked at the handsome man who spoke.

Dozens of them can't resist these five hundred stone figurines.

At this time, Zhang Wei didn't need to embarrass them, he said lightly: "Within an hour, I want to see all the master book, post office, county lieutenant and six house officials here, otherwise I will go and take out the roster, in order For the crime of treason, arrest them one by one."

He pointed to his stone figurine and said, "You don't have to doubt whether I have this ability!"

As soon as this sentence came out, these people panicked a little.The big man's expression changed at this time, and he shouted at them: "Don't tell your lords and colleagues!"

When the other people heard this, they didn't bother to confront Zhang Wei, so they just flattered and left.

Zhang Wei sneered, and said to the weasel, "Go, get the dripping pot, time!"

As soon as the weasel heard this, he ran into the county government office, and brought a special kettle over after a while.This kettle is the drip timer.

When the water drips out of the pot, the scale inside the pot will be exposed, so that the time can be calculated, which is still very accurate.

The nimble weasel also carried the chair under the hanging plaque of the mirror.

Zhang Wei sat on this chair, occupying the doorway, surrounded by hundreds of stone figurines.

Such a style quickly attracted many people to watch, but these people who did not think it was a big deal to watch the excitement were quickly driven away.

Human beings are easily driven away, but non-human beings are not so easily driven away.

An old owl was standing on a big tree not far from the county government office, watching all this.

At the same time, a few young handsome men were sitting in a nearby teahouse, also looking at this place in a special way.

These young men said while drinking wine, "This is the man of the Spring God Envoy? It seems quite majestic."

This person looked envious, while the person next to him sighed and said, "They are both male, why is there such a big difference? He can get fame, become a high official, and marry the Spring God Envoy. But our brother The two of you can only be spies and run around. Hey, don't be a vixen in your next life, it's good to be a man."

The man nodded, feeling sorry for him.

The galloping horses running around attracted the attention of many people in Tianmen County.It wasn't long before the men got the message.

Their Heavenly Master of Tianmen County has assumed a new role!
