My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?.

Chapter 675: Zhang Mazi, the county magistrate, knew to change his name, why don’t you? The black and white collusion, the Qin Dynasty is doomed!
Although it was cold and windy in Yancheng on November 24, there was no snow.

This made Xiong Hou, who was waiting outside Yancheng, feel much better.

Taking a sip of hot water, Xiong Hou said softly, "I wonder what kind of personality this new county magistrate has and whether he is easy to get along with."

Yan Liu smiled and said, "Shangguan, don't worry."

"With the support of the Yan family, the county magistrate will have no influence on the authority of the county magistrate no matter who comes."

"This Yan County will only listen to the orders of the county magistrate!"

Xiong Hou hummed softly in his heart.

County Yan will only listen to the orders of the county magistrate?

I’m afraid that County Yan will only listen to Yan’s orders!

Thinking of the interests he was forced to cede yesterday, Xiong Hou's heart felt like it was bleeding!

If the bandits living in the mountains were not relatively weak, Xiong Hou would have fought with the Yan family even if he took some risks!
I don’t know what kind of person this county magistrate is. I don’t know whether I can help him to control the Yan family and then divide the interests of Yan County together!
Suddenly, a county soldier came galloping back on his horse, dismounted hastily, ran to Xiong Hou and whispered, "Report to the county magistrate."

"We didn't find the county magistrate in the north of the city, but we found a large convoy in the west of the city heading towards Yancheng."

"According to the Western checkpoint, the county magistrate is in this convoy!"

Xiong Hou was slightly surprised: "How many people are there in this convoy?"

The county soldier whispered, "At least a thousand people!"

"Many of them are young and strong!"

Xiong Hou immediately ordered: "Turn to the west of the city and welcome the county magistrate!"

Accompanying a group of officials, Xiong Hou hurried from the north gate to the west gate.

From a distance, Xiong Hou saw a convoy coming towards Yancheng like a long winding snake.

If there weren't some old and weak people in this convoy, it would look like an army coming to attack the city!
A middle-aged man in full armor, holding a spear and full of murderous intent sat on horseback, leading the direction of the convoy.

Seeing that this person was wearing a Gongchengbanguan, Xiong Hou hurriedly stepped forward and led a group of officials to bow and call out: "Yan County Magistrate Xiong Hou/County Lieutenant Qu Qiu, and all Yan County officials."

"Meet the county magistrate!"

The middle-aged man dismounted and looked at Xiong Hou and the others with a slightly amused look, then bowed in return, "No need to be so polite, everyone."

"The magistrate of Yan County is E Ao."

"Meet you all!"

Qu Qiu didn't react, but Xiong Hou and Yan Liu all looked up in shock, looking at the person in front of them in disbelief: "E Ao?!"

E'ao's name is not well-known throughout the world.

But in the land of Jingchu, especially among certain groups of people, the name of E'ao is well-known!
As one of the major chieftains who had long been entrenched in Yunmengze, E'ao's ruthlessness and decisiveness made many people afraid.

And now, this bandit leader has transformed himself into a county magistrate?
At least Zhang Mazi knew to change his name before he became the county magistrate!
E Ao's smile became more obvious: "It is me."

However, in the eyes of Xiong Hou, Yan Liu and others, E Ao's smile seemed a little ferocious.

Xiong Hou smiled happily: "Good! Very good!"

"I have long heard of the talent of the E County Magistrate. Now that we have him as our superior, Yan County will surely be well governed!"

Yan Liu also stepped forward with a smile, but his smile was full of fear and caution: "The Magistrate of E County has come from afar and must have had a hard time along the way."

"We have already prepared a welcoming banquet for Magistrate E."

"Please ask County Magistrate E to enter the city first and take a rest."

Yan Liu couldn't help but feel fearful.

Yan’s fleet was robbed by E’ao many times!
The reputation of the Yan family may be a deterrent to ordinary officials, but to this bandit leader, the Yan family is probably just a piece of fat meat!
E Ao shook his head: "No hurry."

"I am not here alone. I have another colleague who needs to be introduced to you."

"This is Qi Diao Rui, the Censor of Nanjun, who is in charge of the supervision of Nanjun."

"This is Wu Qing, the judge of Nanjun, who is in charge of judging the land."

A middle-aged man with a sword on his waist bowed solemnly and said, "I am Qi Diao Rui, the Censor of Nanjun. I am honored to meet you all."

Wu Qing then bowed and said, "Nanjun Research and Judgment Envoy Wu Qing greets you all."

Xiong Hou, Yan Liu and others did not look at Wu Qing, but just looked at Qi Diao Rui in a panic.

It would have been fine if a bandit had come to serve as the county magistrate, but an imperial censor from the Qi Diao clan also came.

It would have been fine if a descendant of the Qi Diao family had come to serve as the Superintendent Censor, but this Superintendent Censor actually came with the county magistrate!
What kind of world is this?
The censor and the bandits are colluding with each other without telling anyone!
The Qin Dynasty will be destroyed sooner or later!

Xiong Hou hurried forward to greet him: "Greetings to the Imperial Guard of Qi Diao, and to Judge Wu."

"Yan County is honored that you two can come to Yan County!"

“Today we must drink!”

Qi Diao Rui said calmly: "I will not go to the banquet then."

"Lest I lose my patience and draw my sword to kill you all halfway through the banquet."

There was complete silence at the scene, and everyone felt a little strange.

This is very inappropriate!
But these are words that only the descendants of the Qi Diao family can say.

After a few breaths of silence, Yan Liu finally forced a smile and said, "It's not a feast, just some wine."

"I wonder who these warriors behind Shangguan are?"

E Ao smiled and said, "There is little land in Guanzhong, so many soldiers were granted land outside Guanzhong."

"This time, 213 soldiers were granted land around E County, so I decided to take up my post with my comrades."

"But don't worry, I will let them find their own food and lodging later, so you don't need to bother."

Xiong Hou's legs trembled when he heard this.

Just looking at the flat hats of the soldiers behind E Ao, most of them are nobles above the rank of Zan Niao, and a Zan Niao noble has three servants!

Are all these soldiers bachelors?

No. After careful selection, most of these soldiers have reached middle age, have established families and careers, and have at least one male heir!
In other words, these 213 soldiers can at least gather 650 servants and 250 young men, which adds up to 900 young and strong men!
Let us not forget the 213 soldiers who crawled out of the pile of dead bodies.

They are not disabled veterans, but soldiers in their prime who are ready to fight. Once the war breaks out, these soldiers will be pulled to the battlefield as squad leaders, garrison commanders, or even captains!
The army was commanded by E'ao, and more than 200 officers with titles served in all military positions from sergeant to 500 masters, while servants and men served as soldiers.

With just one order, E'ao can gather a fighting force of more than 1,100 people!

Although this force is still less than half of Yancheng's regular county troops.

But don't forget that E Ao himself is the magistrate of Yan County! Would the soldiers of Yan County dare to stab the magistrate of Yan County with their spears?

rest assured?

How can you make us feel at ease!

Yan Liu's face turned even paler, and he forced a smile and said, "It's OK! It's OK!"

"They are all soldiers who fought for the Qin Dynasty and shed blood. They deserve a grand banquet."

"We can still afford some food."

Qi Diao Rui turned his gaze towards Yan Liu, and said with a smile: "The Yan family is quite wealthy, eh?"

Yan Liu's heart trembled, and his smile became more forced: "After all, the Yan family has lasted for hundreds of years. Although it is not rich, it is not an unaffordable burden to host a banquet for some warriors."

E Ao smiled and said, "Then I would be disrespectful to refuse it, right?"

Yan Liu raised his right hand as if he had been pardoned: "County Magistrate, please!"

Except for Qi Diao Rui, a group of more than a thousand people swaggered into Yancheng.

But the banquet originally prepared in the yamen was obviously not enough.

Xiong Hou and Yan Liu had no choice but to set up an open-air banquet outside the government office to entertain these guests who clearly had ill intentions.

But not long after, Wu Qing left the table early with more than a dozen officials and strolled towards the west side of Yancheng, picking up a piece of soil from time to time and observing it carefully.

"who?!"

A shout suddenly rang out, and dozens of young and strong men with swords in hand surrounded Wu Qing.

Wu Qing quickly raised the seal hanging on his waist and said, "I am the Southern County Research and Judgment Envoy, Wu Qing."

Seeing that the person coming was an official, everyone hurriedly sheathed their swords. A middle-aged man stepped forward and bowed, "I am Yan Chen, nice to meet this superior official."

"I wonder what the Shangguan is here for?"

Wu Qing said straightforwardly: "Look at the fields."

Yan Chen's expression suddenly turned ugly.

Although he didn't know what the analyst did, it was obvious that this person came with E Ao.

A new official wants to take a look at the fields under his jurisdiction on his first day in office?

It's the other way around!

Is this something the county magistrate can come and see in person?
This has to be reported by the local tyrants before the county magistrate can know about it!
Yan Chen said with a fake smile: "The people here are tough, bandits are rampant, and dangers are lurking everywhere."

"Shangguan, you must be more careful when walking, so as not to hurt your life for public duty!"

Wu Qing immediately bowed and said, "Thank you for telling me, old man. I will leave now."

Seeing Wu Qing turn around and leave without hesitation, Yan Chen was stunned.

No, I just raised my hand and attacked as usual, and you wanted to run away?
There are more than ten young and strong men following you!

This is a bit too cowardly!

Just when Yan Chen was at a loss, a carriage in the distance suddenly accelerated and finally stopped not far from Wu Qing.

A figure that Yan Chen was very familiar with jumped off the carriage and asked repeatedly: "Wu Yanpan, is today's meal not to your liking?"

Wu Qing shook his head and said, "It's not unpalatable. Yan Yuyuan is worrying too much."

"It's just that Wu is a newly promoted official. I came to Yan County to take up my post under the order of the king and the instruction of Lord Chang'an."

"Mr. Wu believes that it is more important to complete the king's order as soon as possible!"

Yan Kuo solemnly bowed his hands and said, "Wu Yanpan, high righteousness!"

"Please forgive my ignorance. I still don't know what the job of Wu Yanpan is. Why does he need to walk around in the fields?"

Wu Qing said frankly: "The art of using gold juice to treat manure requires first studying the land, but there are only a limited number of people who are capable of doing so."

"The duty of our research and judgment envoys is to travel throughout the Great Qin territory in advance and determine the order of research and judgment."

"Only in this way can we use limited talents to help Daqin increase its grain production within a limited time."

Yan Kuo's eyes suddenly lit up: "Wu Yanpan is actually studying the technique of using gold juice to treat feces?!"

“This is a great merit!”

How could Yan Kuo not know the technique of using golden juice to treat feces?
In order to implement the technique of curing feces with gold juice in Yan as soon as possible, the Yan family held countless clan meetings!

As a result, just when Yan was at a loss, the person responsible for determining the location for performing the golden juice to treat feces technique actually bumped into him?

What is this called?
This is what it means when you search for something everywhere but still can’t find it, yet finally you get it without any effort!

Wu Qing lowered his head shyly and said, "It's not as exaggerated as what Yan Yuyuan said."

Seeing Wu Qing's naive appearance, Yan Kuo laughed out loud and said, "Shangguan is too modest!"

"If your superior needs any help from us, please tell us directly!"

Wu Qing said somewhat awkwardly: "I heard that the people here are tough, bandits are rampant, and dangers are lurking everywhere."

“However, most of my colleagues who deal with excrement have little ability to protect themselves.”

"Therefore, Wu thought that it would be unnecessary to trouble Yan Yuyuan."

"Mr. Wu should go somewhere else for research first."

Yan Kuo immediately became angry: "Which villain is slandering my Yan County!"
