Zhen Yan put on a bitter face, with a bitter expression, "My lord, the Zhen family didn't make money, so how can they have so much money. If you are not in charge of a family, you don't know how expensive it is. The Zhen family still has such a large family to support, and the daily expenses Countless, this is not a small sum.”

With a sigh, it seemed that Zhen Yan was very embarrassed.

Wang Lei snorted coldly, and said in a deep voice: "Patriarch Zhen's words are light, if I can't stop Zhang Yan today, and Black Mountain bandits enter the city to plunder, according to Zhang Yan's request, he will ask for 100 million yuan and [-] sets of armor , a thousand steel knives, and countless grains. Facing the strength of the black mountain bandits, the Patriarch may have to take them out to avoid greater losses."

Zhen Yan shook her head and said, "My lord is wrong, the Zhen family will definitely fight to the end."

Wang Lei said: "This is not the first time that the Black Mountain bandits have attacked Wuji County. The Zhen family can stand still. If we have to fight bloody battles to the end every time, I am afraid it will be another scene." After a pause, Wang Lei continued: "The Black Mountain bandits Returning in vain, I will kill you next time. When the black mountain bandits appear, I don’t want to accept the support of Patriarch Zhen, but lead the troops to meet them. The same thing can be done once, but not twice. A tough battle with real swords and guns."

Zhen Yan's complexion changed, and his expression became serious.

After drinking a glass of wine, Guo Jia breathed a sigh of relief, and persuaded him, "Patriarch Zhen, my lord is the county magistrate of Wuji County, and my duty is to protect the environment and the people, and maintain the law and order of one side. When something happens, it is natural for the lord to give the Zhen family the top." However, if you want to take things up, you need the support of the Zhen family, so that you can form a strong force to defend Wuji County."

One sings the red face and the other sings the bad face, which makes Zhen Yan feel difficult.

Dian Wei interjected and shouted: "Manly man, mother-in-law, mother-in-law, you are not a man."

Zhen Yan glanced at Dian Wei, thought about it, and said with a smile: "My lord, this hero just arrived in Wuji County today, and he must be under your command. If your lord is willing to transfer this person to the Zhen family, why don't you The Zhen family works, and Zhen Yan will comply with all the requests of the adults."

In a word, Wang Lei suddenly changed color.

Dian Wei reached out to touch the big iron halberd on his back, but Guo Jia shook his head slightly.

This is the matter of Wang Lei and Zhen Yan, just watch quietly.

Of course, Guo Jia had another thought, wanting to see how Wang Lei would respond.Dian Wei is not Wang Lei's slave or retainer, but a free body. If Dian Wei is unwilling, Zhen Yan can't force it, and Wang Lei can't force it either.

Zhen Yan continued: "If the county magistrate agrees, I can immediately mobilize food, weapons, etc."

Wang Lei suddenly laughed, and his anger disappeared.

At this moment, Wang Lei became more calm, and said in a deep voice: "Patriarch Zhen's suggestion is good. It is okay to ask Dian Wei to protect the Zhen family. But there is a prerequisite, the Zhen family fully supports this official, and the money, food and grass needed by the county government All the children and guards recruited by the Zhen family were transferred to the county government to accept Dian Wei's leadership. When protection is needed, Dian Wei will naturally take people there."

Dian Wei chuckled and said to himself, these words are really poisonous!

Guo Jia nodded and praised Wang Lei's response.

In fact, anger welled up in Zhen Yan's heart.He entertained Wang Lei with good food and wine, but it didn't mean that the Zhen family was afraid of Wang Lei.Don't forget, the Zhen family is not only the tyrant of Wuji County, but also the tyrant of Zhongshan Country.

Zhen Yan thought for a while and said with a smile, "Magistrate Wang is joking!"

In the end, Zhen Yan chose to compromise.After all, Wang Lei is the county magistrate and the official of Wuji County's parents. It is often said that the county magistrate is not as good as the current one, and the Zhen family also needs Wang Lei to be stationed in Wuji County.

Wang Lei smiled and replied: "Patriarch Zhen really knows how to joke, haha!"

It was as if the unhappiness just now hadn't happened.

Wang Lei took a bite of the food, stood up and said, "Patriarch Zhen really doesn't want to support, Wang Lei doesn't force it. After drinking the wine and eating the meat, Wang Lei said goodbye. I only hope that the Zhen family can flourish under the leadership of Patriarch Zhen."

He flicked his sleeves and walked out.

Guo Jia and Dian Wei followed behind, striding outside.

Zhen Yan sat in the hall with a gloomy face.

This young county magistrate who just took office is too arrogant, and what he has done is infuriating.

Seeing Wang Lei, Dian Wei and Guo Jia leave without hesitation, Zhen Yan hesitated, but after Wang Lei and others left, they still did not step forward to dissuade them.He wanted to get Wang Lei's support, but he didn't want Wang Lei to be domineering, so he was going to suppress Wang Lei's arrogance and let Wang Lei know who was the boss.

Wang Lei and his party left Zhen's house and returned in a carriage.

In the carriage, Wang Lei looked at Guo Jia, and said slowly: "Feng Xiao, it seems that our weight is not enough, otherwise, how could a little Zhen Yan refuse our request."

Guo Jia nodded and said, "My lord, without the support of food and weapons, we are indeed struggling."

Wang Lei said: "Without the Zhen family, we can still persevere."

Guo Jia smiled bitterly and said, "Let's not talk about the distance, just talk about the things that will happen soon. The three hundred guards of the Zhen family belong to us, but we have no food, how can we support them?"

Wang Lei thought about it carefully, and said angrily: "I don't believe that the living can be suffocated to death, Zhen Yan is arrogant, I must let Zhen Yan come to the door by himself. After returning to the county office, I will send the county office The veterans in Wuji County have found and confirmed the big merchants in Wuji County. As the magistrate of my county, I will visit in person, and it will not be difficult to get the merchants to support some food, grass and money. After solving the problems that need to be solved now, and then cleaning up Zhen Yan, I believe it will not stop One person wants to see the Zhen family fall."

Guo Jia smiled lightly and said, "It's actually not difficult to let Zhen Yan come to the door by himself."

"Speak up, speak up."

Wang Lei's eyes lit up, full of anticipation.

He is the county magistrate of Wuji County, but Zhen Yan looks down on him, and he is quite upset.

Guo Jia slowly explained, and after Wang Lei listened to it, he said suspiciously: "Feng Xiao, the strategy is good, but what if Zhen Yan doesn't play cards according to common sense? After all, we have learned Zhen Yan's behavior style once. , it won’t feel good to do it again.”

There was a cold light in Guo Jia's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "If Zhen Yan doesn't cooperate, the lord has another card in his hand, and adopts the strategy of seeking skin from the tiger to completely take down the Zhen family. A merchant's family is nothing to worry about."

Wang Lei's eyes widened, and an unbelievable look appeared in his eyes.

Obviously, he understood the meaning of seeking skin from a tiger.

Guo Jia took a deep breath, and said lightly: "The specific decision is all in the mind of the adults. Guo Jia is just a counselor next to the adults. He can only make suggestions for the adults. Whether he adopts them depends on the courage of the adults."

He seemed calm, but in fact he was quite nervous.

At least, Guo Jia hopes to meet someone who can make things happen.

Without the slightest hesitation, Wang Lei said, "I'm not a good person, nor a law-abiding person. Why don't I adopt a good strategy? Let's hang out outside, don't play tricks, it's better to go home early and have a baby. We I just arrived in Wuji County, I'm not familiar with the place, I don't have prestige, many people are dissatisfied. It is the best way to make the Zhen family famous, I hope the Zhen family will not let me down."

"Done!"

A decisive voice came from the carriage.
