Agents of the Three Kingdoms

Early the next morning, Wang Lei and his party turned around and headed towards Julu County.

Nanhe County and Julu County are not far apart. Within a day, Wang Lei and his party had already arrived in Julu County by car.The carriage stopped outside the city, but the old man got out of the carriage and went to the county seat alone.Wang Lei planned to go with the old man, but the old man sternly refused.The strange behavior of the old man made Wang Lei even more unclear about the origin of the old man.

An hour later, the old man returned from the city.

He returned to the carriage without saying a word, Wang Lei didn't ask, and let Xiaohao drive to the north.From Julu County to the north, pass through Pingxiang County and Ren County, then arrive at Yangshi County, and finally enter Xiaquyang County, the northernmost part of Julu County.

Further north is the territory of Zhongshan State.

Wang Lei and his party left Julu County and soon entered Wuji County, Zhongshan Country.

By this time, it was already mid-July.

The new county magistrate arrived, and the news quickly spread back to Wuji County.

When Wang Lei and his party arrived at the county seat, soldiers from the county government greeted them outside the city.

At the gate of the city, two carriages approached.The carriage stopped, and Wang Lei raised the curtain of the carriage and walked out. He looked up, and when he saw the waiting team at the city gate, the corners of his mouth twitched and his eyes looked strange.Because the soldiers who came to greet them were old and young, and they were stumbling around, and none of them was decent.Other than that, none of the county government officials saw it.

Encountering such a situation, Wang Lei's heart sank. Could it be that this was a warning to him?

Wang Lei suppressed the surprise in his heart and asked, "Who is in charge?"

"Reporting to my lord, it's a humble job!"

A little old man in his fifties, with a thin and short build, walked in, sick and listless.

Wang Lei endured his dissatisfaction and asked, "Where are the rest of the county government officials and soldiers?"

The old man replied: "My lord, recently came the news that the Heishan bandits are about to attack Wuji County. The officials of the county government got the news, they all packed up their money and fled, and the few soldiers in the county government also dispersed. Let us go."

Wang Lei's complexion changed drastically, and his heart became even more heavy.

I thought it was a slap in the face, but I didn't expect to encounter a mess.

"Lead the way, go back to the county office!"

Wang Lei sighed helplessly and asked the old man to lead the way back to the county government office.

Back at the county government office, Wang Lei was even more depressed.

The entire county government office is empty, and everything that can be valuable has been sold.There is no money in the treasury.Guo Yu, Queen Guo, Fu Bo and Xiao Hao were busy in the backyard, cleaning the backyard and preparing to eat at the same time.

After lunch, Wang Lei, Du Ji and Guo Jia discussed matters in the study.

Wang Lei looked serious, and said in a deep voice: "The situation in Wuji County is more difficult than imagined. There are black mountain thieves watching outside, and there are countless worries inside. The situation is not optimistic!"

Guo Jia looked relaxed, and smiled lightly: "In my opinion, this is interesting. If you take over a complete Wuji County, there is no danger, so why do you want to do it? Such things are challenging to do." .”

Wang Lei rolled his eyes, the problem was that the county government had too many problems.

Du Ji thought about it carefully, and said slowly: "When I entered the city, the veterans of the county government said that the officials and soldiers of the county government had all dispersed. This is a big problem. The county government must be in operation to ensure Wuji Restoration of the county. I think the most urgent task is to solve the big and small matters of the county government, and sort out all the affairs of the county government. The county magistrate has five officials, the thief Cao, the sub-supervisor, the meritorious officer, the chief bookkeeper, and the chief secretary, but now there is only one person None, I will take care of it for the time being.”

Wang Lei nodded and said: "I'm not familiar with internal affairs, so I can only wrong brother Bohou temporarily. When there is something to be dealt with, I should follow the authority in a hurry. There is no need to report it, just arrange it."

"Of order!" Du Ji nodded in response.

Wang Lei changed the subject, and said: "Brother Bohou handles the internal affairs of Wuji County, and Feng Xiao and I have to deal with the foreign troubles in Wuji County. According to the veterans, the black mountain bandits may attack the county seat of Wuji County in the next few days , and there are no soldiers, no weapons, and even food and grass in the city, how can this be solved?"

Guo Jia smiled lightly and said, "My lord, this is actually not a difficult task. There is the Zhen family in Wuji County. The Zhen family is very rich and has countless money. The county magistrate directly visited the head of the Zhen family and borrowed soldiers and money from the Zhen family. , Borrow food, it is expected that the Zhen family will not refuse."

"Boom! Boom!"

Outside the room, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in!"

The door opened, and the veteran ran in and said, "My lord, it's not good, the Black Mountain bandits are coming to kill Wuji County."

"what?"

Wang Lei stood up in exclamation, his expression was even more serious.

The black bandit came too fast.

Wang Lei made a decisive decision and ordered: "Feng Xiao, the matter is urgent. You organize the soldiers in the city to close the square gates, and delay the time with the attacking Black Mountain bandits. I will immediately go to the Zhen family to borrow troops. Although it is at stake, it is a borrower. The best opportunity."

Guo Jia nodded with a chuckle, and said, "Please rest assured, my lord, Guo Jia will definitely live up to his mission."

Du Ji looked at the two people full of confidence and shook his head in his heart.

The Black Mountain bandits are attacking Wuji County aggressively, there must be a large number of people, even if they borrow troops from the Zhen family, it is still hitting a stone with an egg.But this is not what he considers. He is good at internal affairs and only needs to be responsible for the affairs of the city.

The three of them had their own affairs, Guo Jia and the veteran left the county government office and went straight to the city gate.

Wang Lei left the county government office with the Wujin Snake Spear, and headed towards Zhen's house.He came to the gate of Zhen's house as fast as he could and knocked on the door. Soon, an attendant poked his head out and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

When the attendant saw the Wujin Snake Spear in Wang Lei's hand, he shuddered in fright.

Wang Lei looked serious, and said: "Please inform Patriarch Zhen that Wang Lei, the magistrate of Wuji County, is visiting."

"Yes Yes!"

The attendants rushed to inform, and within a short time, Zhen Yan, the Patriarch of the Zhen family, came striding forward.Zhen Yan saw that Wang Lei was holding the two-meter-long Wujin Snake Spear, and his heart skipped a beat, but his face showed no expression, and he said with a smile: "The magistrate is here to visit, what's the matter?"

Wang Lei said straight to the point: "Patriarch Zhen, the Heishan bandits have already been killed, and Wuji County is in danger. But I just took office, and my soldiers and weapons have nothing, so it is difficult to meet the enemy, so I borrowed a hundred young and strong guards from Mr. Zhen, and I went out of the city to meet them." enemy."

Zhen Yan looked disbelieving, shook her head and said, "The black mountain bandits attack the city, and a hundred people can't stop it!"

Wang Lei snorted, and said disdainfully: "The Heishan bandits are nothing more than chickens and dogs, not worth mentioning. I came to borrow a hundred young and strong soldiers from Patriarch Zhen, but I only used them to show off their momentum, and I didn't plan to fight Heishanze head-on. The Zhen family is the richest man in Wuji County, and their wealth is huge. If the Black Mountain bandits break the city, the Zhen family must spend countless money to let the Black Mountain bandits leave. And the head of the Zhen family gave me a hundred young men. Once the Black Mountain bandits are defeated, the Zhen family will Will avoid this disaster, it's a no-cost deal, why not give it a try?"

Zhen Yan thought about it carefully, nodded and said, "Okay, I trust the county magistrate once."

Immediately, Zhen Yan ordered someone to call in the guards from the mansion.

Zhen Yan is a person who does things generously, so he gave Wang Lei 300 people directly without counting the number of people, and also gave Wang Lei a good horse as a gift.Wang Lei galloped on horseback and headed straight for the city gate with 300 borrowed men.
