Guo Jia, the ghost of the strongest military division

Chapter 27

As they were walking, a cloud of flying dust rose in front of them, and the ground began to tremble.

Enemy attack!

Zhang Shiping immediately shouted.

The guards of this caravan were well-trained, and they quickly dismantled the carriage, surrounded the city with a simple fence, and everyone hid in the middle.

A team of guards strengthened their defenses with wooden shields and took out bows and arrows, while the other team rode horses and drew guns to prepare for battle.

It is said that on this road, they have dealt with bandits a lot.

"Three, come to me quickly! With my caravan here, those bandits can't do anything to you."

Su Shuang beckoned to Guo Jia and others.

After some conversations, he had a good impression of Guo Jia.

Guo Jia came to his side on horseback, looking ahead.

It has already entered the boundary of Zhongshan County, and there are still such large-scale bandits. It seems that Zhongshan County is not peaceful.

Soon, a team of scouts came to the front of the caravan and stopped with a stone's throw.

These people wore uniforms and carried a banner.

Seeing this, Zhang Shiping was relieved.Immediately shouted loudly: "Masters of the army, we are the caravan of the Su family in Zhongshan, and we are going home today. I hope you will be convenient, and we are very grateful."

As he spoke, he took out a purse and raised it.

A man dressed as an officer rode forward.

"Let's stop talking nonsense, fifty dollars per head, brothers count the heads! Get money according to the head."

The scouts behind him immediately began to count the number of people around the camp.

Zhang Shiping said with a smile: "Master Jun, we are all small businesses, and it's not easy, so just hold your hands high."

As he spoke, he took out a money bag and handed it to the officer.

The officer stretched out his hand, squeezed it, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Okay, count 100 of you, take five thousand and leave!"

There were obviously more than 200 people in this team, but the officer benefited from it, so he underreported the number of people for the caravan.

Thank you sir!

Zhang Shiping took out a bag of copper coins again and handed it to the officer.

The officer waved his hand, and the caravan packed up and moved on.

"Does the army also rob?"

Guo Jia immediately frowned and looked at Su Shuang in confusion.

Su Shuang shook her head helplessly.

He knew that Guo Jia didn't know what was going on here.

"Zhongshan is a border county, which is often plundered by foreigners and bandits. In order to solve this problem, many county soldiers were conscripted in the county. These county soldiers were originally recruited to protect the border and the people to guard Zhongshan. But after so many years, These county soldiers have changed a long time ago. Foreign races and thieves have come, and they run faster than anyone else. They exploit the people, but they are more cruel than anyone else. Our caravan not only has to deal with thieves, but also protects the officers and soldiers. Exploitation."

That's it!

Guo Jia nodded, and gained a new understanding of Zhongshan County.

After hundreds of years of development, these county soldiers have become a local evil.

"I don't know who owns these county soldiers?"

Guo Jia asked softly.

Who else can it belong to?

Zhang Shiping said angrily: "Of course it belongs to the governor. Without the acquiescence of those officials, how dare these people be so unscrupulous?"

He can be regarded as a victim of it.

Shiping!

Su Shuang waved his hands, and continued: "Actually, it's no wonder the Sheriff. After so many years, these soldiers are all from the big families in Zhongshan. Although they are under the command of the Sheriff, the Sheriff is a foreign official. Sometimes I can’t control these local soldiers.”

Local aristocrats!

Hearing this, Guo Jia immediately regained his spirits.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the central government's decrees reached the county level at most, and everything below the county level was under the control of local tyrants.

The tyrants are rich and powerful, and they are all local emperors on one-third of an acre of land in their own homes.

If local officials want to collect taxes or do anything, they have to go through them.

Some tyrants are so powerful that even local officials have to be patient.

What's more, the local tyrants have private soldiers, occupying Wubao and becoming the overlord.

"Shopkeeper Su, may I ask which wealthy families are there in Zhongshan County?"

Since he took office in Zhongshan, Guo Jia naturally had to find a local to understand clearly.

Ha ha!

Zhang Shiping on the side smiled.

"You're asking the right person. The reason why those officers and soldiers let us off so easily just now is because in Zhongshan, the Su family is considered a powerful party."

Oh!
Guo Jiarao looked at Su Shuang with interest.

Su Shuang also nodded, with a smile on her face.

Their Su family has quite a status in Zhongshan, and there is nothing wrong with saying that they are powerful.

"Disrespect, disrespect!"

Guo Jia clasped his fists with a smile and said, "So shopkeeper Su comes from the most powerful Su family in Zhongshan."

Being able to form such a large caravan, this Su Shuang is naturally very impressive.

Don't dare to be!
Su Shuang waved his hands again.

"Although the Su family can be called powerful, they dare not be the number one in Zhongshan. The number one in Zhongshan is the Lu Nu Zhang family, followed by the Wuji Zhen family, and only then can we count our Su family."

The Promise Zhen family!

Guo Jia's eyes lit up.

He does know a little bit about this.

Because this Zhen family produced a Zhen Mi.That is the future Empress Cao Wei, who was made into a peerless beauty of Luoshen by a generation of genius Cao Zi.

But according to the time, Zhen Mi is probably still a baby.

This made Guo Jia, who was happy to see the hunter, a little discouraged.

It's too small, and it needs to be raised.

Maybe it's possible to develop a lolita, a story about a little lolita and a strange sorghum?

Cough!

Guo Jia hurriedly shook his head to get rid of this idea.

He's not a lolicon!
"I've heard of the Wuji Zhen family, who is this Lu Nu Zhang family?"

Zhang family!

Su Shuang regained her spirits immediately.

"Lunu Zhang's family is a big family in Zhongshan County. They have the most land and most of them are officials. They can be regarded as the most powerful in Zhongshan. Zhang Chun, the former prime minister, is the Zhang family. Lunu Zhang's family and Yuyang Zhang's family It is a branch, and the relationship between the two parties is very close.”

Zhang Chun!

Guo Jia frowned.

In his impression, this Zhang Chun seemed to be a rebel and had a close relationship with Wuhuan.

In the later period, he fled to Wuhuan and became the overlord.

If the Zhang family is the most powerful in Zhongshan, it will be difficult for Guo Jia to master Zhongshan smoothly.

"The Zhang family is the hegemony of one party. In Zhongshan, it can be said that it is the same. Most of the county soldiers are from the Zhang family. Moreover, the head of the Zhang family is very domineering. I am afraid that the new county guard will suffer. It is not good to be an official somewhere. I want to come to Zhongshan. Hehe, this is a sad reminder!"

Zhang Shiping on the side said.

Su Shuang also nodded.

With the nature of the Zhang family, the prefects of Zhongshan were all subdued by them, and this newcomer was no exception.

"I haven't asked Brother Guo what you want to do in Zhongshan. If Su can help, just ask!"

Seeing Guo Jia's extraordinary conversation, Su Shuang intends to make friends with him!
Guo Jia smiled lightly.

"I am the sad prefect Guo Jia that you are talking about. This time I came to Zhongshan to take office."

As soon as the voice fell, the smiles of Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping suddenly froze.
