Control the ancestors and create an immortal family starting from the Qin Dynasty

"Which young master of the Zhang family is in the carriage?"

"The governor is discussing important matters with others. If you have time, can you go to the post station to rest for a while? When the governor finishes his work, he will meet you!"

The person next to him said cautiously.

The Zhang family does not need to wait so long to gain such status.

But today is different from the past.

If this matter is not resolved properly.

Jizhou may be in danger of being overthrown.

Zhang Wei never showed up from beginning to end.

No sound was made.

As soon as this person finished speaking, a folding fan suddenly stretched out from the carriage.

Then he knocked on the side of the carriage.

After the people around understood what Zhang Wei meant, they nodded at the officers.

Then, under their guidance, we went to the official inn.

Jizhou's officials only breathed a sigh of relief after they brought Zhang Wei's men to the designated location.

Then he immediately ran away, wanting to inform the governor of the state about this matter.

This matter is no small matter.

The people above must be notified as soon as possible.

After Zhang Wei and others entered the inn.

They all gathered around Zhang Wei with a hint of curiosity in their eyes.

"How did things here develop to this extent?"

"Should we send someone to investigate and find out why Jizhou is in chaos?"

Someone said.

Someone must have done it on purpose.

Bingzhou is located on the border, but it has not been so chaotic. However, it has reached this level here.

No one showed up during the day.

How serious is this?
There is a problem at first glance.

"No need to check!"

Zhang Wei said calmly: "If they want us to know, they will definitely tell us everything they know. There is no need to waste manpower."

"Let the people from Zhang's Commercial Bank get ready!"

"When the time is right, someone will come to you naturally."

The people below looked at Zhang Wei.

Then he nodded at Zhang Wei and began to make plans.

They also knew something about Jizhou's affairs.

Jizhou and Bingzhou are adjacent to each other.

These two provincial capitals are very important to the imperial court.

But these two places are located on the border and are very chaotic, and some people simply do not obey the policies of Wang Mang's rule.

This also led to the complexity of the forces here.

Zhang Wei had received a letter from Liu Xiu before coming here.

Liu Xiu had already made things very clear in the letter. Jizhou was in great chaos and they were taking a detour and did not pass through Jizhou.

Until this incident, Zhang Wei naturally had no intention of bypassing this place, but ran directly into the city.

He wanted to see it.

Who is causing trouble here?
What do they want to do?
……

at the same time.

In the main city of Jizhou.

A fat man was sitting on a seat, looking at the letters sent in the past few days. He was so angry that he threw the documents directly on the ground.

"What are they for?"

"We have provided them with so many soldiers, but they haven't even taken down a small city yet."

"If this matter gets back to the capital, where will my face be?"

"I was planning to take credit for this incident, but now I haven't received any credit, and someone else has taken the blame."

"What are you still doing here? Call the city guards!"

"Here!"

The people below were terrified.

They didn't dare to stay at all.

He immediately left the room and called the city guard over.

After the commander of the city guard appeared in the room, he looked at the person sitting there, his eyes flickered, and then he asked the reason.

"You're still asking me the reason?"

The Lord of Jizhou looked at the city guards coldly.

"Others are about to break into our territory, but you haven't made any movement, not even any discovery. What use do I have for you?"

"General Guo has already left the city to meet the enemy. The guards in the city are lax. You need to think of a way to strengthen the defense of Jizhou and not allow anyone to enter. Do you understand?"

"If a stranger enters Jizhou, I will question you, General!"

"Here!"

The person next to him nodded.

This person's ideas coincide with his.

He originally wanted to come to see the general.

Now that the two of them had the same idea, he naturally had to follow orders.

The two talked for a while.

The situation in Jizhou was explained very clearly.

Jizhou is not particularly stable now.

They have Bingzhou at their backs.

It is also the main source of supplies for Bingzhou.

Once this place falls into the hands of bandits, Bingzhou will cut off contact with them.

If someone did it on purpose.

This place will fall into the hands of the enemy along with Bingzhou.

This place is originally located in a remote area.

The imperial court has never been able to manage it.

But they knew the situation here, and sending troops to suppress the other side had already become a trend, which would not be able to resolve the current crisis at all.

All they can do is to suppress this matter first.

If this matter can be suppressed.

They can more than complete this mission.

It can also leave them speechless.

After the city guards finished discussing with the general, they planned to leave and strengthen the defenses they had remembered.

But he didn't have time to leave.

Then someone rashly entered the room.

This person knelt on one knee in front of everyone and said, "We found someone from Zhang's Company!"

"A carriage suddenly entered Jizhou."

"The logo above is exactly the logo of Zhang's Trading Company. Judging from their appearance, they should not be from the side branches. They may be the direct descendants of Zhang's Trading Company!"

Ok?
The person who was about to leave suddenly stopped.

Then he turned his head and looked at the person who was speaking.

People from Zhang's Trading Company also entered.

What do they want to do?
Do they have to stir up trouble? But if so, it doesn't seem to be of any benefit to them.

The reason why Zhangjia Commercial Bank has been able to continue to this day.

It is because they are independent of major powers.

And he didn't get involved in anyone's battle.

Everyone is confident in the Zhang family.

They will not take action against the Zhang family until the matter is clarified, but why is the Zhang family appearing in Jizhou now?
"Have you found out the reason? What is the purpose of the Zhang family suddenly appearing here?!"

The people below shook their heads.

"They have just entered the city gate and are now being housed in the inn. Do you want to go take a look?"

Whatever happens in this matter, the person in front of us has to step forward.

Whatever they said seemed a little pale and powerless.

Only after the general and Zhang Wei meet can the next plan be made.

The commander of Jizhou looked at the person in front of him, his eyes flickering.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to meet the Zhang family, but his current identity makes it a little inconvenient.

If he went to meet the Zhang family now.

Doesn't this mean that he is tied to Zhang's Business?

Before they are sure of the purpose of Zhang's firm, they must be extremely cautious and not allow any evidence to fall into the hands of the other party.

and so.

He looked at the people below.

He said, "Just say that this general is not free at this time!"

"Arrange two people and have them look around Jizhou and make sure they treat the people well."

"After I finish dealing with the affairs of Jizhou, I will naturally make time to meet with the people from Zhang's Trading Company."

"Here!"

The people below nodded.

Prepare to leave and inform Zhang Wei and others.

But just as he reached the door, he was stopped by the city guards.

"Wait!" The soldier heard the voice of the city guard.

I stopped involuntarily.

Then he looked at the person in front of him and frowned slightly.

Why is the commander of the city guards here?

Shouldn't he be setting up defenses at the city gate now?
General Guo has already left the city to meet the enemy, and now his whereabouts are unknown, and his life or death is unknown.

In this situation, they should first build Jizhou like an iron barrel, so that if someone comes to attack, they will have the strength to defend themselves.

But how could the commander of the city guards appear in the general's room?
Isn't this a waste of time?

"General, this is not appropriate!"

The commander of the city guards looked at Jizhou's commander and said, "Let's take a step back now."

"It is very likely to make others doubt us."

"All we can do now is wait and see what happens."

"Or we can take the initiative and see what the people from Zhang's Commercial Bank are going to do!"

"The Zhang family's business is spread all over the country. If they are willing to join us, we can definitely catch all the thieves outside!"

"but……"

Some of his words were not very clear.

Zhang's firm may not rely on anyone.

Because the Zhang family already has this strength.

If the Zhang family really set their sights on that position, they would have already sent troops to rebel.

Even if someone is sitting in a high position.

They can take it down too.

After all, the Zhang family is indeed very powerful.

Whether in official circles.

Still among the people.

Zhang's business is very popular among the people.

If anyone goes against the Zhang family.

They will be the first line of defense.

They were even blocked outside so that they could not harm the Zhang family in any way.

have to say.

The Zhang family is now at its peak.

Those who go against the Zhang family will never have a good ending.

But if they choose to cooperate with the Zhang family.

They should also become subordinates of the Zhang family instead of being the ones who lead the Zhang family.

because of this.

When he heard the city guard commander say this, he looked at the person at the door in confusion.

"Don't mention this matter again."

"The Zhang family is not something we can get, so let's finish the task at hand first!"

"Send someone to check outside the city to see where General Guo is now!"

"If General Guo is besieged by bandits, send reinforcements to help him immediately and make sure he returns safely!"

"Here!"

The person next to him nodded.

They thought so too.

General Guo is now their backbone.

There can’t be any problems.

If General Guo fell into the hands of the enemy, they would be truly doomed.

After getting the instructions.

A small team immediately left the city.

Then he rushed towards the direction where Zhang Wei and his group came from.

When night falls.

The team just returned from a distance.

When they returned, they were covered in dust and even had some blood on their bodies.

The man guarding the door looked at the returning soldiers, frowned slightly, then looked up at the beautiful starry night sky.

A long sigh.

He probably already knew where this was going.

If you guessed correctly.

The people on their side must have failed.

And the defeat was quite complete.

Twice I met people returning from outside the city gate. They were all dusty and had obvious bloodstains on their bodies.

It's not a good sign at first glance.

The weather in Jizhou may be changing.

……

"boom!"

In the residence of the chief general of Ji Zhong.

The general here has received the battle report from the front.

When he received the battle report from the front, he suddenly stood up from his chair, threw the teacup in his hand to the ground, and a trace of panic appeared in his eyes.

"How can this be?"

"General Guo is the most courageous general in the new dynasty!"

"He brought tens of thousands of soldiers with him. They were just a bunch of thieves. How could they be imprisoned?"

"Did you get the wrong information? Has General Guo already started to besiege the bandits and is going to catch them all in one fell swoop?"

The general was a little bit unconvinced.

It's not like he doesn't know General Guo's fighting ability.

General Guo is a well-deserved military commander.

Whether in strategy or martial arts, he is extremely outstanding.

How could such a person fall into the hands of thieves?
There must be something fishy about this matter, or they haven't checked it clearly.

"General!"

"This is the token on General Guo's body."

"He did die on the battlefield. He was besieged and killed by thousands of arrows piercing his heart!"

boom!
When the commander heard this, he became unsteady and staggered.

If someone hadn't stopped him, he would have fallen to the ground by now.

When he heard the words of the person next to him, his eyes flickered, then he sat down heavily on the chair and asked someone to bring the jade pendant to him.

The jade pendant was already stained with blood, which was enough to show how graceful and brave its owner was on the battlefield.

Looking at the jade pendant in front of me.

The commander was still a little bit unbelievable.

Before General Guo left Jizhou, he drank and chatted with the other party, asking him to return safely, and he would treat him with good wine when the time came.

The other party had clearly agreed to it, so how could such a change happen? He actually died at the hands of bandits. This is too ridiculous.

If this matter were to get back to the capital, the people above would probably skin him alive.

General Guo was a brave general guarding the frontier, but now he is being used to kill bandits, which is a waste of his talent.

Once this matter is transferred back to the capital, he may lose his position.

After learning the news of General Guo’s death.

Naturally he couldn't sit still.

He asked someone to prepare a carriage and appeared outside the inn overnight.

After knocking on the door of the inn.

They showed the tokens, and the people in the inn respectfully invited them in and then took them to a private room on the second floor.

After entering the private room.

Although I saw Zhang Wei sitting not far away.

Zhang Wei is still graceful and elegant.

Sitting there, he looked like a gentle young man.

Plus there are several beautiful women around Zhang Wei.

The commander couldn't help but spit, then entered the room cautiously.

He entered the room in an orderly manner and stood in front of Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei didn't say anything, and he didn't dare to speak.

Originally he was an official of the imperial court.

No matter how powerful Zhang Wei was, he was still a commoner, and he had never been an official in the court. He just relied on the Zhang family.

He didn't actually need to bow when facing Zhang Wei.

But for some reason, the moment he looked at Zhang Wei, he felt as if he saw a top-ranking official in the court.

Fear of the Zhang family.

He could only stay in the room obediently, not daring to say a word.

Originally he wanted to meet Zhang Wei.

Maybe the guest will become the host.

As soon as he entered the inn, he had fallen into Zhang Wei's trap.

Faced with such a Zhang Wei, he had no choice but to accept his fate.

If I hadn't come to ask to see Zhang Wei.

Tomorrow, his head may be hung outside the city gate. (End of this chapter)
