Chapter 675 Zhang Mazi, the County Magistrate, Knew to Change His Name, Why Don’t You? The Black and White Are Colluding, the Qin Dynasty Is Doomed!

On November 24, Yancheng was cold but snow had not fallen.

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

Taking a sip of hot water, Xiong Hou said softly: "I don't know what kind of personality this new county magistrate will have, and whether he is easy to get along with."

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

"With the support of my Yan family, no matter who comes, it will not affect the power of the county magistrate."

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

Xiong Hou hummed softly in his heart.

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

I'm afraid that Yan County will only listen to the orders of the Yan family!

Thinking of the interests that were forced to cede yesterday, Xiong Hou's heart felt like bleeding!

If the bandits raised in the mountains were not still 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. Can he help him to rule the Yan family and then share the interests of Yan County together!

Suddenly, a county soldier galloped back on his horse, dismounted hurriedly, 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 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!"

"Among them, there are many young and strong people!"

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

With 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 winding snake.

If there were not some old and weak people in this convoy, it would be a siege!

A middle-aged man in full armor, holding a spear, and full of murderous aura sat on horseback, leading the direction of the caravan.

Seeing this man wearing a Gongcheng board hat, Xiong Hou hurriedly stepped forward and led a group of subordinates to bow and call: "Yan County Magistrate Xiong Hou/County Lieutenant Qu Qiu, and a group of Yan County officials."

"Greetings to the county magistrate!"

The middle-aged man turned over and dismounted, looking at Xiong Hou and others with a slightly playful look, and bowed in return: "No need to be polite."

"Yan County Magistrate, E Ao."

"Greetings to everyone!"

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 famous all over the world.

But in the land of Jingchu, especially in the ears of a certain group of people, E Ao's name is well-known!

As one of the big stronghold owners who had been lingering in Yunmengze for a long time, E Ao's ruthlessness and decisiveness made many people afraid.

Now, this bandit leader has transformed himself into a county magistrate?

Before Zhang Mazi became the county magistrate, he knew to change his name!

E Ao's smile became more obvious: "It's me."

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

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

"I have heard of the talent of E County Magistrate for a long time. Now that E County Magistrate is your superior, Yan County will surely be well governed!"

Yan Liu also smiled and stepped forward, but Yan Liu's smile was full of fear and caution: "E County Magistrate has come from afar and has worked hard all the way."

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

"Please enter the city first and have a rest."

Yan Liu couldn't help but be afraid.

The Yan family's fleet was robbed by E Ao many times!

The reputation of the Yan family can be a deterrent to ordinary officials, but for 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, and there are colleagues who need to introduce you."

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

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

A middle-aged man with a sword on his waist bowed solemnly: "Qi Diao Rui, the supervisor of Nanjun, greets you."

Wu Qing followed suit and bowed: "Wu Qing, the judge of Nanjun, greets you."

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

It would be fine if a bandit came to be the county magistrate, but there was also a supervisor of Qi Diao.

It would be fine if a descendant of the Qi Diao family came to be the Supervisory Censor, but this Supervisory Censor actually came with the county magistrate!

What kind of world is this?

The Supervisory Censor colluded with the bandits without telling anyone!

The Great Qin will be finished sooner or later!

Xiong Hou hurried forward to greet: "Meet the Supervisor Qi Diao, meet the judge Wu."

"Yan County is honored to have you two come!"

"Today we must drink!"

Qi Diao Rui said indifferently: "Then I will not go to the banquet."

"Lest I can't bear it, I will draw my sword and kill you halfway through the banquet."

The scene was silent, and everyone felt a little strange.

This is very inappropriate!

But this is what a descendant of the Qi Diao family can say.

After a few breaths of silence, Yan Liu finally forced a smile to smooth things over: "It's not a feast, just some wine."

"I wonder who these warriors behind you are?"

E Ao smiled: "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 simply brought my comrades to take up the post."

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

Xiong Hou shuddered when he heard this.

Looking at the caps of the soldiers behind E Ao, most of them are nobles above the level of Zan Niao, and Zan Niao has three servants!

Are all these soldiers single?

No.

After being specially selected, most of these soldiers are middle-aged, have established families, and have at least one male child!

In other words, these 213 soldiers can at least make up 650 servants and 250 young men, which adds up to 900 young and strong men!

Let's not forget the 213 soldiers who crawled out of the pile of dead bodies.

They are not disabled veterans, but soldiers who are ready to fight. Once the war starts, these soldiers will be pulled to the battlefield as squad leaders, garrison leaders, or even hundred generals!

Commanded by E Ao, more than 200 noble soldiers will serve as all military positions from squad leaders to five hundred masters, and servants and men will be soldiers.

With just one order, E Ao can gather a brave army of more than 1,100 people!

Although this force is still less than half of the regular county soldiers in Yancheng.

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 a spear!

Don’t worry?

How can you make us feel at ease!

Yan Liu's face turned even paler, and he forced a smile: "No problem! No problem!"

"They are all soldiers who fought for the Qin Dynasty, and they deserve a big banquet."

"We can still afford a little food."

Qi Diao Rui turned his eyes to Yan Liu, smiling: "Yan family is quite rich?"

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

E Ao smiled and said: "Then I will be disrespectful to refuse it?"

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

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

But the banquet originally prepared in the government office was obviously not enough.

Xiong Hou and Yan Liu had to set up another open-air table outside the government office to entertain these guests who were clearly coming with bad intentions.

But not long after, Wu Qing left the table ahead of time with more than ten subordinates, strolling towards the west side of Yancheng, picking up a piece of soil from time to time and observing carefully.

"Who is it?!"

A shout suddenly sounded, and dozens of young and strong men had surrounded Wu Qing with swords.

Wu Qing hurriedly raised the seal hanging on his waist and said: "I am the Nanjun Research and Appraisal Envoy, Wu Qing."

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

"I wonder what the superior is here for?"

Wu Qing said straightforwardly: "To see the fields."

Yan Chen's face suddenly turned ugly.

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

A new official wants to see the fields under his jurisdiction on the first day of taking office?

It's outrageous!

Can the county magistrate come to see this in person?

This must be reported by the local tyrants, and the county magistrate can know!

Yan Chen said with a fake smile: "The people here are tough, bandits are rampant, and dangers are everywhere."

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

Wu Qing immediately bowed: "Thank you for telling me, 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 are running away?

You are still followed by more than ten young men!

This is too cowardly!

Just when Yan Chen was a little 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 bowed: "Nothing is not to your liking, Yan Yuyuan is worrying too much."

"It's just that Wu is a newly promoted official. He was ordered by the king and asked by Chang'an Jun to come to Yan County to take up his post."

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

Yan Kuo bowed solemnly: "Wu Yanpan, high righteousness!"

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

Wu Qing said frankly: "The technique of treating feces with gold juice requires first researching the land, but there are limited talents who are capable of researching. ”

"The duty of us researchers is to travel all over the territory of Daqin in advance and determine the order of research."

"Only in this way can limited talents help Daqin increase more grain production in a limited time."

Yan Kuo's eyes suddenly lit up: "Wu Yanpan is actually researching the technique of treating feces with gold juice? !"

"This is a great meritorious act!"

How could Yan Kuo not know the technique of treating feces with gold juice?

In order to allow the technique of treating feces with gold juice to be carried out in Yan as soon as possible, the Yan family held countless clan meetings!

As a result, just when the Yan family was at a loss, the person responsible for determining the location of the technique of treating feces with gold juice actually bumped into him?

What is this called?

This is the result of searching for something without any effort!

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

Looking at Wu Qing's naive look, Yan Kuo laughed loudly and said, "Shangguan is too modest!"

"Shangguan, if you need any help from us, just tell us!"

Wu Qing said awkwardly, "I heard that the people here are fierce, bandits are rampant, and dangers are everywhere."

“However, most of my colleagues who deal with manure have no ability to protect themselves.”

“So I think I won’t bother Yan Yuyuan.”

“I’d better go somewhere else to make a judgment first.”

Yan Kuo was immediately angry: “Which villain is slandering my Yan County!”
