The County Max

"Mr. County lieutenant, why don't we go to the county government?" Peng Renlong saw Han Zhongwei walking towards the drilling ground, and quickly trotted and chased after him to ask.

"Since Master He has gone to the county government just now, there is no need for us to go again." Han Zhongwei said with a smile. Even if he went to the county government, what could Luo Zhongzheng say? He praised himself for his wisdom and courage and wiped out the thieves in Huangtuling? I am afraid that he would not say it even if he killed such words, because once he said such words, the nature of this matter will change. Now Luo Zhongzheng may even dream of covering up this matter, and he just needs to sit firmly at Diaoyutai at home.

"Yes." Peng Renlong seemed to understand a little. The county magistrate wiped out all the thieves in Huangtuling, which is not a good thing for the magistrate. If the thieves who had not reported to Huangtuling were wiped out before, then it would be fine. Now he doesn't even dare to report, let alone ask for the county magistrate Han.

When they arrived at the drill, Han Zhongwei stood on the stage, looking at the neat archers below. These people didn't even have the most standing posture a few days ago. Now they stood straight, just from the outside, they looked a little like an army.

"Do you think your performance was qualified last night?" Han Zhongwei asked loudly.

Suddenly, when the county magistrate asked, everyone below was stunned. They wiped out more than 80 bandits last night, of course they had reason to be proud. Although some people cleverly felt that the victory last night came too smoothly, this was the most perfect performance of the archers since their establishment.

"I think you are not qualified," Han Zhongwei shouted fiercely, "The arrows you shot are weak and have extremely poor accuracy. You are not worthy of calling the archers, and they are worse than infantry."

"Mr. County lieutenant, we wiped out nearly a hundred bandits yesterday." Someone muttered below.

"You are so embarrassed to talk about this? Can the thieves on Huangtuling be called bandits yesterday? They panic when they encounter an attack and do not resist at all. They are even less defensive surnames than you. If you boast to outsiders that you have wiped out such bandits, even I will be ashamed of you." It was indeed too easy to win last night, but Han Zhongwei also knew that if the bandits' resistance was a little more tenacious at that time, the archers might be defeated. Only if they win once can their morale be improved.

Yes, it seemed that it was too smooth last night. Sometimes people were injured when assisting the constable and catching thieves. Last night, more than 80 people were killed, and they were also thieves from the Huangtuling siege, but no one in the archers saw blood. The only person who was injured was sprained when he was going up the mountain, and the rest of the people were not even torn in their clothes. It was so strange.

"Mr. County lieutenant, we will definitely train hard in the future so that all the thieves will run away when they see us." Peng Renlong said loudly.

"Yes, sir, whoever dares to do evil in Changhua in the future, I will definitely give him two blows."

"Okay, okay, I don't want you to spread this matter last night. I don't know how thick your face is, but I definitely don't want to hear what happened last night from outsiders." Han Zhongwei waved his hand. In addition to hitting them well, this was also another purpose.

If it is said that it can indeed put pressure on Luo Zhongzheng, but that will force him into a dead end, and there will be no room for maneuver. Of course, it is difficult to let everyone ban their mouths. After all, they are still living everywhere in the city. Who knows if they will let it go? Besides, everyone has given a ten-ton reward this time, and these kids will definitely brag about it in front of their mother.

Everyone in the archer team was still full of complacency, but after being poured by Han Zhongwei's basin of cold water, everyone woke up. Yes, what's there to be proud of? Although they wiped out the notorious Huangtu Ridge thieves, it seems that it was not the archer team's own credit. To be honest, the servants of the county lieutenant should be. They attacked the mountain first than the archer team, and were also responsible for blocking their retreat. And a few clever people had already thought that maybe the reason why they could enter a no-man in Huangtu Ridge was because they were exposed to the light of the county lieutenant.

Luo Zhong was waiting around in the yamen, but he could not see Han Zhongwei's shadow, which made him feel a little hope. Could it be that He Zheng was telling lies and Han Zhongwei dared not come to see him?

"Sir, County Magistrate He may not be here today." He Zheng looked at the sky. He only had a cup of tea before the archers. But now almost an hour passed, but Han Zhongwei had not yet appeared. It seemed that County Magistrate Han was also a smart person.

At this time, Han Zhongwei was indeed not suitable to meet Luo Zhongzheng, which was too embarrassing. Originally, Luo Zhongzheng had bad intentions and asked Han Zhongwei to take the archers to touch the tough nail of the Huangtuling thief. After Han Zhongwei was hit by his head and bleeding, Luo Zhongzheng came forward to punish Han Zhongwei for violating military orders.

But unexpectedly, the seamless strategy failed because of the sudden magical power of the archers. The thieves in Huangtuling were braised by the archers like a piece of tofu. What can the magistrate and the county magistrate say when they meet? It would be better if the thieves in Huangtuling were newly appeared, then Luo Zhongzheng was just asking for the award for Han Zhongwei. But the matter of the thieves in Huangtuling is not worthy of being told by outsiders. Although this time it was completely wiped out, in the official document, the thieves in Huangtuling had been "fully wiped out" once a few months ago. How dare Luo Zhongzheng report this matter to the superiors again?

Han Zhongwei returned to his victory and returned home privately. It seemed unreasonable, but in fact he saved enough face for Luo Zhongzheng. Han Zhongwei showed Luo Zhongzheng that I had already known your conspiracy and tricks, but you, Luo County Magistrate, are not kind, but I, Han County Magistrate, cannot be unrighteous. This great contribution is not to worry about the county magistrate, but Luo County Magistrate, must show sincerity, otherwise once I get angry, the black hat on your county magistrate will definitely be unsafe.

"Sir, why don't you invite the county magistrate to come?" Liang Deping was not as traversing as they did. In his opinion, if Han County Magistrate has made merits, then the magistrate will have to be rewarded. Now that Han County Magistrate doesn't come to visit the magistrate, he is arrogant and arrogant, which is really rude.

"No need, thank you for your hard work in the palace, let him rest in the palace. The Japanese officials in Ming Dynasty went to visit him in person." Luo Zhongzheng always felt that Liang Deping was just a elm head besides handling the case, and he verified it again today. Isn't this obvious that Han Zhongwei didn't come to the yamen? Not only did he catch all the thieves on Huangtuling in three days, but he also had an insight into his purpose. Even the causes and consequences of the matter were probably clear, otherwise he, a small county magistrate, wouldn't he take himself as a magistrate seriously?

"Sir, go to visit Han County Magistrate?" Liang Deping opened his mouth wide and looked disbelief. He had been in the county government for nearly twenty years and had never seen the magistrate take the initiative to visit the county Magistrate. Although Luo Zhongzheng said it beautifully, he was going to "visit" Han Zhongwei, no matter how dull Liang Deping knew that Han County Magistrate was not sick, so why do you need others to visit? It's just a visit.

"I suddenly felt uncomfortable in this county, and I will not be promoted to the court today." Luo Zhongzheng was very unhappy with Liang Deping's fuss. Isn't it just that the magistrate bowed to the county magistrate? Why should I be so shocked? "By the way, Captain Liang, the real murderer of Wujiazhuang and Wujiang case escaped. This county can only arrest Liu within ten days, otherwise... huh."

"Sir, the ten-day period is too short. What's the better than a month?" Liang Deping didn't expect that County Magistrate Luo turned against each other faster than reading the book. Did he say the wrong thing just now?

"No, if Liu's family does not come to justice within ten days, this county will ask you." Luo Zhong was just angry, but Liang Deping's expression just now happened to vent his anger.

Liang Deping suddenly became frowning. Originally, if Luo Zhongzheng did not urge him, he could investigate slowly. I believe that as long as Liu was still in the city, she would be arrested and brought to justice. But now, Luo Magistrate has stipulated that Liu will be captured within ten days, which made Liang Deping feel unsure. He dared not delay in the county government. When Luo Zhongzheng left, he would also summon all the constables and give them the death orders to arrest Liu within ten days.

Early the next morning, Luo Zhongzheng dressed neatly and went to the county magistrate's mansion not far from the county government. In Luo Zhongzheng's memory, this was the first time he visited the county magistrate's mansion. Han Zhongwei's former county magistrate was respectful to him and did not dare to disobey him at all, and he never took him seriously. The county magistrate's mansion would not even look at him, let alone go, so as not to lose his identity.

But now he has to visit the county magistrate's office. Luo Zhongzheng was also very moved. This time he might have set a precedent for Changhua County.

What made Luo Zhongzheng even more feel that he was blocked from the county magistrate's mansion was actually blocked. The small servant outside the county magistrate's mansion ignored him wearing the seventh-grade official uniform. Han Zhongwei was too domineering, right? Luo Zhongzheng was furious and wanted to teach Han Zhongwei's servant a lesson, but then he thought of his purpose this time and suppressed his anger. Let's give them a glory for the time being when Longyou was in the shallows.

Fortunately, Han Zhongwei's attitude made Luo Zhongzheng talk to himself. When Han Zhongwei learned that Luo Zhixian was visiting the county magistrate's office, he immediately ordered people to open the middle gate, and he also came out to greet him in the official magistrate's uniform. Han Zhongwei could look down on Luo Zhongzheng in his bones, but on the surface, he must be respectful to Luo Zhongzheng. This is the etiquette that a county magistrate should have when facing the county magistrate, otherwise Han Zhongwei would not know how many people would have to face in the future.

The conversation between the magistrate and the county magistrate was kind and friendly, at least in front of outsiders. The magistrate expressed his cordial greetings and sincere concern to the county magistrate. He first congratulated the archers on their great victory, encouraged the archers to carry forward the fine traditions, continue to work hard, and strive to achieve greater results in the future. The magistrate expressed his gratitude to the magistrate for his concern and greetings. On behalf of the archers, he expressed his determination to the magistrate. In the future, the archers will use me in the first battle, and I will win.

After the official scene was finished, Han Zhongwei invited Luo Zhongzheng to his study room. Han Zhongwei's study room was not used much, and he prefers to read books in the woods. As for writing that must be practiced in the study room, Han Zhongwei rarely uses it. Now Han Zhongwei would rather use quill than touch the brush. Therefore, the role of the study room is not as good as a quiet room or a secret room for Han Zhongwei. He would not be heard of it when talking here.

"Prince Han, this is the 200 stakes handed over by Master He yesterday." As soon as he entered the study, Luo Zhongzheng returned the 200 stakes handed over by He Zheng yesterday to Han Zhongwei. Since the matter of Huangtuling cannot be spread, there is no way to seize it. Of course, if Luo Zhongzheng did not receive the more than 20 taels of gold, he would certainly accept the 200 stakes, but now he feels that it would be a bit unauthorized to collect the money again.

Of course, Han Zhongwei understood Luo Zhongzheng's meaning, so that the matter will end here. I will not report the merits to me, and you don't need to hand the seizure to the public. Everyone is tacitly informed.

"Sir, I wonder if the military order from the subordinate can be returned to me?" Han Zhongwei put the 200 guan on the table and asked lightly. Compared with the 200 guan, the military order he made was more valuable. Han Zhongwei could no longer make trouble with this matter, but he must have some support, otherwise Luo Zhong would turn against others in the future, and he would have no way to deal with him.

"Military Order?" Luo Zhongzheng quickly understood Han Zhongwei's meaning. Now he had a real handle. With this thing, as long as he was still a county magistrate in Changhua for one day, he would have to be shorter in front of him as a county magistrate.

"Yes, since the military order was issued and the task was completed, the military order was wanted to take the military order back as a commemoration. This may be of great significance to the first time the military order led troops to suppress bandits." Han Zhongwei said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll take it." Luo Zhongzheng gritted his teeth. Han Zhongwei's conditions seemed simple, but the price he had to pay was really high. But what else could he do now? Unless he made a confession to the superiors, the last time the Huangtuling bandit suppression was just a joke, but in that case, could his magistrate's position still be kept?

"Remember to stamp the seal of the magistrate and the private seal of the magistrate." Han Zhongwei did not forget to remind that only in this way can the military order be regarded as a real reliance.

When things came to this point, Luo Zhongzheng could not say anything, so he had to do everything according to Han Zhongwei's instructions. Moreover, Luo Zhongzheng knew that once the military order came to Han Zhongwei's hands, as long as he was still a county magistrate in Changhua for one day, he would have to execute Han Zhongwei's instructions without fail. This time he really shot himself in the foot, and the stone almost smashed his foot.

"I'll ask County Guard Han to give you a gift in the future." Seeing Han Zhongwei carefully put the military order in hand, Luo Zhongzheng bowed to Han Zhongwei for the first time and said.

"Don't worry, the magistrate Luo, the subordinates know how to advance and retreat." Han Zhongwei smiled. In fact, he didn't have to ride on Luo Zhongzheng's neck to shit. As long as Luo Zhongzheng no longer messes with him, then he will be his magistrate and his own county magistrate.

"Thank you, County Magistrate Han." Luo Zhong was happy on his face. He accurately grasped Han Zhongwei's intention. In the future, as long as Han Zhongwei should be in charge, he would not dare to intervene even if he was beaten to death. As for several other bandits that had not been wiped out yesterday, he would not let Han Zhongwei suppress the bandits again. For the matter of County Magistrate, he would only have the right to suggest the decision in the future, so the right to decide will no longer be in his hands.

"The first time this county magistrate led his troops to suppress bandits has been successful, but the first murder case that happened in office..."

"What the county magistrate Han is talking about the death case of Wujiang in Wujiazhuang? It's easy to say, the county magistrate wants to deal with me as you wish." Luo Zhongzheng interrupted Han Zhongwei and said, "Isn't even the Wujiang case going to be closed smoothly? Your own handle is in your hands. Now you have the final say in this case?

"Okay, the official needs Lord Luo to be able to try this case at a date." Han Zhongwei said. Now that Wu Xingquan's behind-the-scenes commander is already in his hands, the direct participant Liu, also fell into the legal open. As for Zhao Yang, the sheltered person, was also detained by him at this moment, there is no suspect in the entire Wujiang case.

"I wonder what county magistrate Han has to say about this case?" Luo Zhongzheng asked. He was asking Han Zhongwei. If you want to settle the case, I will do what you said. Even if you point to a donkey and say that it was the murderer who killed Wu Jiang, I will not be able to judge. But in that case, Han Zhongwei will have a handle in Luo Zhongzheng's hands. When he accumulates to a certain level, he will use this to exchange for the military order.

"According to the fact that the Liu, the perpetrator of the Wujiang case, and the mastermind Wu Xingquan, have fallen into the legal gate." Han Zhongwei smiled. He didn't need to use any means at all, and he could openly let Luo Zhongzheng try the case openly.

"Wu Xingquan is the young master of Wu Yuanwai? He is the mastermind?" Luo Zhongzheng did not doubt what Han Zhongwei said. If Han Zhongwei dared to point him out by name, there must be evidence. Even if there is no evidence, he would decide Wu Xingquan as the mastermind according to his wishes. Of course, it is still very important to have evidence or not. If there is evidence, then he will act according to the law. If there is no evidence or insufficient evidence, that is, Han Zhongwei owes him favors.

"Yes, the evidence is conclusive, he has admitted it himself. He had sex with the Liu family and became a traitor. The two of them were knocked out by Wu Jiang, so they conspired to kill Wu Jiang." Han Zhongwei said that he had already obtained Wu Xingquan's confession, and the confession was written by Wu Xingquan himself, so there was no need to worry that he would redeem the confession at that time.

"That's easy to deal with. Kill people to pay for their lives, and pay back their debts. I will judge Wu Xingquan and Liu Shiqiuhou to ask the slaughter." Luo Zhongzheng said as he looked at Han Zhongwei's face. If Han Zhongwei frowned, he would change his words immediately. Fortunately, Han Zhongwei has always been calm and he didn't like anything wrong with him.

"They are easy to talk about, but there is a shelterer that is difficult to deal with." Han Zhongwei had no objection to the man's handling. Even if such a person died a few more times, Han Zhongwei would not frown.

"The shelter? Could it be Mr. Wu?" Luo Zhongzheng asked.

"Mr. Wu is the father of Wu Xingquan. Even if he knows the hidden truth, it is normal for human beings to not tell it. The person he said was Zhao Yang, the manager of the Zhao Mansion in Lin'an." Han Zhongwei said lightly.

"What? It's him?" Luo Zhong was so shocked that he almost jumped up when he heard that it was Zhao Yang. If Zhao Yang was really a shelterer, then the letter of guarantee he wrote at that time...?

Luo Zhongzheng couldn't help but sweat
Chapter completed!
