The east gate is the gate where Shen Qingjun is entering the city now, because the east gate has a good meaning of purple energy coming from the east, and it is also the place where people in ancient cities entered and exited most frequently.
And because of these reasons, the east gate of a general city is larger, wider, more important, and more complex than the other three gates, so Shen Qingjun sent five thousand infantry troops to garrison the east gate alone.

"Where is General Xu Zhong?"

"You will lead all the flying cavalry troops to choose a suitable place to build a garrison camp ten miles outside the city and garrison it outside the city!"

Not all soldiers and horses can enter the city. In addition to not being able to accommodate so many people and horses in the city, it is also for military security reasons.

The so-called isolation of a city without defense means that if all the troops and horses are put into the city and there is no mobile army outside the city to support each other, it will be easy to be surrounded and it will be difficult to counterattack and break out.

"The minister takes orders."

About an hour later, Huang Gong rode up to report in person: "The east gate and the high points in the streets and alleys are all occupied by me. The three generals Murong Shu, Yang Yi, and Chen Shunyi also control the other three gates. Please inform me." Down."

"Good, General Huang Gong and General Murong, thank you for your hard work."

"Enter the city." Shen Qingjun thanked his subordinates for their hard work first, and then gave the order to enter the city.

After some arrangements, Shen Qingjun was now surrounded by only the three guards captains Wang Biao, Shen Li, and Dianqiu and the 500 guards led by them, totaling [-] people. However, the entire city was controlled by Shen Qingjun, so Don't worry about danger.

After the instructions, Wang Biao, Shen Li, and Dian Qiu led the personal guards to escort Shen Qingjun's carriage into the city.

Liu Ming stepped aside after being slapped. He saw the troops around Shen Qingjun leaving in pairs. Now he watched Shen Qingjun enter the city with more than 1000 people. "It would be a pity... if..." The wind at noon The dust blown up fell into his eyes, and he said while wiping tears from the corners of his eyes...

When entering the city, there was no scene of people lined up to welcome them. Instead, the doors and windows of every house were closed. Only one or two men with some ideas looked at the army entering the city through the cracks in the door and praised in their hearts: "What a strong army. A good man! This is what a man should do!"

The folk customs in the North are strong and fierce, and all men are eager to make achievements.

And the big houses in the city have also closed their doors. It's not that they don't want to welcome Shen Qingjun, the new master, but the lessons left by the previous county guards are too profound!

The Liu family was not a good family. For those families who had second thoughts and wanted to seek wealth and wealth by relying on the governor sent by the emperor, all of them were liquidated afterwards, and the end was miserable.

In a house in the east of the city: "Grandpa, the new Wuwei County Sheriff has arrived with her army! It's different from those County Sheriffs who came alone to take office! We..." A young voice was suppressed but full of expectation!

"Don't be busy, just wait and see what happens..." The old man's voice was slow and steady... "She is too young, her methods are not sophisticated enough, and she may not be able to see through some things..."

The old man sighed quietly, "Besides, so what if we have soldiers? How many cases in ancient and modern times have there been people who had large armies and were defeated miserably? Intrigue can be seen as scheming, and the Liu family also has a private army. In addition to the 2 people on the surface... then Huangsha Valley... It’s hard to say whether the Duke’s soldiers and horses can defeat the Liu family’s private army! It’s better not to follow in the footsteps of those county guards!”

"Don't be impatient!" The old man once again asked the young man to be patient.

"Yes, Grandpa." The young man's tone revealed disappointment...

In addition to these two grandsons, all the big families and businesses in the city also adopted a wait-and-see attitude towards Shen Qingjun's arrival.

Of course, Shen Qingjun didn't care what these wealthy people thought. Even if these people wanted to join her, she still had to pick and choose, and not everyone wanted them.

Because he had great righteousness, and of course the most important thing was that the army was by his side, he successfully took over Wuwei County.

The sitting tiger of the Liu family didn't seem to have any secrets against Shen Qingjun, the new sitting dragon who competed for their territory. However, Shen Qingjun would not take it lightly for this sitting tiger family, which was also a sitting tiger family with numerous criminal records.

……

On the second day after entering the city, Shen Qingjun brought people to the Wuwei County Government Office to check the warehouses. As a result, every warehouse was empty... Shen Qingjun had actually imagined before coming that the Liu family would plunder the county government treasury before leaving. Yes, but I didn’t expect that the Liu family shaved so hard and didn’t leave even a hair on her?
If there is no supplies, then summon the county officials to ask questions!This order stumped the subordinates. After searching several times, they finally found a person among the lumps. They were overjoyed and immediately brought him to Shen Qingjun.

"Do you know where the household in the county is? Tell me what you know about the situation in the county - for example, how many households there are under the rule and how much farmland is there?

And today the Duke of Japan inspected the treasury. Why was there not half a bushel of grain left in the county treasury?There is not a single intact weapon or armor in the arsenal... There are only a few horses in the stud farm, and they are all old horses that can't walk?Why are these? "

Shen Qingjun is getting angrier as he talks...

"I've seen the Duke..." When a white-haired old official heard Shen Qingjun's question, his expression changed. He nodded and bowed:
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Although this young man works as a household manager and manages the treasury, he couldn't even see the treasury door when the Liu family was here. I really don't know how small these problems of the Duke are! What's the situation at the racecourse, my dear sir?" I don’t even know anymore.”

After hearing the reply, Shen Qingjun raised his head, looked at the old official in front of him, frowned, and asked the retainer next to him:
"I asked people to summon all the officials to come for questioning. Why is he the only one here? None of the other six officials? That's it. What about the other officials who manage the yellow household registration rolls and the land tax rolls? Why are they missing?"

"Here, lord, we searched the entire county governor's mansion and only found this person." The retainer frowned and pointed at the old man.

Old Man Liu smiled bitterly when he heard the two people's questions, "The Duke is generous, but the Duke doesn't know that almost all the officials in Wuwei County believe in Liu. When Sheriff Liu arrived, they followed him and resigned and left. Well, I stay here because I am the servant brought by Prefect He when he took office and I have nowhere to go..."

Liu Laitou shook his head: "The Liu family is overbearing! Before the Duke came, all the officials were members of the Liu family: adopted brothers, adopted sons, in-laws, and concubines. And for some reason, recently In the past 20 years, the Liu family has used more drastic methods to eliminate dissidents, even using everything... 20 years ago, at least there were still one or two non-Liu family officials..."

"Oh, only my own family! How did my father-in-law stay in the county government office?" Shen Qingjun asked.

"Seeing this, Duke Ming, I guess that the little old man should be given the surname 'Liu' if he can stay. If you are not careful, this surname will be mistakenly heard as 'Liu', so he was not driven away and liquidated... Oh, yes Apart from the little old man, there is another person who stayed in the county government office, because his surname "Liu" also sounds the same as Liu, so he was lucky not to be liquidated by the Liu family!" The old man looked like he was going to survive a disaster, and Shen Qingjun was stunned...

Shen Qingjun was also surprised... "Prefect" seems to be Daqi's name for the county governor!Good guy, Da Qi is already the name of the country before the Wei Dynasty! ' Shen Qingjun thought. "Tell me what position this person holds?"

"The boy with the surname 'Liu' is a small official in Diancao. He should know where to find the household registration book and the land tax book!"

"In that case, where is the official named 'Liu'? Where has he gone?" Shen Qingjun asked again.

"Well, there was an emergency at home today, so he went... back home... He probably didn't expect that the county prince would come to check the treasury the next day, otherwise he would stay in the mansion even if there was a big deal at home, I'll wait for the Duke's inquiry." Liu Laosan hesitated as he spoke, covering up for the minor official with the last name in front of Shen Qingjun.

At this moment, a middle-aged man wearing a gray robe, with narrow cheeks and triangular eyes ran in...

When he saw Shen Qingjun, he was shocked and quickly knelt down and saluted: "Young Liu Yunfeng, please see the Duke." Liu Laosan and Liu Yunfeng were both minor officials, so they could not call themselves subordinates in front of Shen Qingjun.

"You came back very soon? No courtesy!" Shen Qingjun didn't bother to worry about whether he was really in trouble. He just came. After becoming the lord and arriving in Wuwei County, her temper improved visibly!

"Are you Dian Cao's junior official?"

Shen Qingjun looked at this man's narrow cheeks and triangular eyes. His last name was "Liu", which was interesting!Smiling slightly: "Tell me, are you the person left behind by the county governor or prefect?"

"My lord, your eyes are as sharp as a torch. I am the one left behind by Sheriff Zhang."

'Governor Zhang?It seems that the first unlucky guy sent by Emperor Shao Wu to Wuwei was named Zhang! 'Shen Qingjun has a good memory.

"But, Commander Zhang is in the Zhangjuan of the Great Wei Dynasty?"

"Exactly! The Duke has a good memory! I came late because my daughter was born and my wife had no one to take care of me. Do you want the Duke to atone for his sins?" Liu Yunfeng took the opportunity to explain his lateness and missing people.

"So, how is everything going at home? How are mother and daughter?" Shen Qingjun raised his head and glanced at Liu Yunfeng. His impression of Liu Yunfeng was a little better, but he didn't know whether what he said was true or not, so he didn't dare to lie to himself. …

"Thank you, Duke, for your concern. I wish you great blessing! Mother and daughter are safe."

"That's good!" Shen Qingjun nodded, "Qishui, prepare a newborn gift for me to give to the little girl who stays at home... and give some blood-enhancing medicine to the mother." Shen Qingjun looked at Gao Gan and ordered, since he knows, give it to There is nothing wrong with giving a gift to a newborn.

"Yes, my lord."

"I'd like to express my gratitude to the Duke. On behalf of my daughter and my wife, I would like to express my gratitude to the Duke for your great kindness!" Liu Yunfeng kowtowed and thanked him. Considering his status, it was really a compliment for Shen Qingjun to give his daughter a gift.

From now on, his daughter's status will be higher than that of her brothers. She has been blessed by the Duke!
"No thanks, get up!"

Liu Yunfeng did not get up, but instead bowed again: "My little girl has just been born, and I haven't had time to give her a name yet. I dare you to ask the Duke to give me a name!"

"Haha, you are quite good at pushing your limits. It would be such a blessing to ask the lord to give your daughter a name." Gao Gan couldn't stand Liu Yunfeng's push to push his limits, so he joked, but he did not persuade or stop him. I think the lord Shen Qingjun will definitely name Liu Yunfeng’s daughter, why!
It can only be said that this is the Lord’s hobby...

"This...this..." Liu Yunfeng was in a dilemma because of Gao Gan's words, with a look of fear on his face!Of course, these are all pretense. In fact, he is not very afraid...

He left Yunfeng as an outsider, and he was able to stay after all the county guards in front of him were unlucky... Even if there was a misunderstanding about the homophony of the last name, he had survived in the Liu family's territory for so long, and he was still alive and well, and he was very observant. His skills are absolutely not bad...

He didn't hear the danger in Gao Gan's words at this moment. He took a peek and didn't notice any impatience on Shen Qingjun's face!

Sure enough, Shen Qingjun was quite happy when he heard Liu Yunfeng begging him to name his daughter. He also confirmed that what Liu Yunfeng said was not a temporary excuse to trick her. The long and narrow cheeks and triangular eyes also looked much more pleasing to the eye. After thinking about it, After a while, he said: "Since I asked you to give me a name, let's call it Xiluo! Happy, Luoluo is generous!"

Naming people and giving them surnames are Shen Qingjun's hobbies, and she doesn't choose them randomly. Of course, she can give Liu Yunfeng's daughter a more elegant and nice name, but it is not as suitable as "Xiluo", and Xiluo is not as nice as Xiluo. With her blessings!

After speaking, he glanced at Liu Yunfeng and added in his mind: 'Of course, the most important thing is that I hope that this girl will be more like her mother than her father in appearance, otherwise it will not be good-looking for a girl to look like this. '

Liu Yunfeng, who didn't know what Shen Qingjun was thinking, said excitedly, "Thank you so much, Duke, I'm so happy! This little daughter is really blessed to receive gifts and names from the Duke. She will definitely be grateful to the Duke in the future." The Duke is so kind! I will definitely repay the Duke for his kindness."

Shen Qingjun was noncommittal about whether Liu Yunfeng's daughter could repay him, and said: "Go and get the household registration records and land tax records for the past three years. I want to see them." After dealing with other things, it was time to get down to business.

"Yes."

After a while, Liu Yunfeng came to Shen Qingjun with two booklets, "Forgive me, the only ones left are the household registration book and the land tax book. The others were all burned due to a 'fire'. These two booklets still belong to the county." He was saved from a 'fire scene'."

Liu Yunfeng specially emphasized the words "fire" and "fire scene", firstly, he took the opportunity to apply eye drops to the Liu family in front of Shen Qingjun, and secondly, he wanted to show his contribution to reporting these records at the fire scene.

'Fire?No wonder her people couldn't find her anywhere in the government office. Shen Qingjun naturally understood what Liu Yunfeng said. Looking at the two people who were dressed in tatters and with tired and cautious faces, he knew that although he and Liu Laosan had survived in the hands of the Liu family for so many years, it didn't seem easy. ah!

After thinking about it, he saw Liu Laosan and Liu Yunfeng standing in the hall at a loss after being asked, and said:
"That's all, go down!" Knowing that nothing could be learned from the questioning, Shen Qingjun was still heartbroken, so Shen Qingjun showed mercy and let Liu Laosan and Liu Yunfeng out.

A large and dignified county must have dozens, not to mention hundreds, of officials!As a result, the Liu family now only leaves Shen Qingjun with two crooked and crooked clerks. Who would be upset if they saw this?

Anyway, Shen Qingjun was very worried, but she couldn't take out her anger on these two people, so she had to mark it down in her heart for the Liu family!
It's okay, one day I can get all the Liu family back.
