Qi Heyao, as the captain of a county, had some simple contacts with the Si family in the past, and his friendship was not very deep.
But Qi Heyao, who was already desperate at this time, after hearing the message from the Si family, he was like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw, holding on to it no matter what.
He came out again, still saluting Li Qingwan, and deliberately ignored Tie Tang in the courtroom.
"Sir, December 15th is the day for martial arts trials in our county. The lower officials have been practicing for a long time and setting up formations. If the generals are changed before the battle... I am afraid that the sergeants will be dissatisfied.
Your Majesty dares to ask for a seven-day reprieve to pay the talisman. After the martial arts test is over, Qi will immediately take up the position of Zhongzheng? "
Tie Tang's expression remained unchanged, but his heart was filled with tears, because he had not known about the martial arts test before, nor did he know whether what Qi Heyao said at this time was true or false.
Lu Zhengqing on the side seemed to know what he was thinking, and immediately secretly sent a message to explain to him.
"This is true, and it is not a temporary idea. It is a long-standing practice. Every year at the end of the year..."
It turns out that every year at the end of the year for the army, a city would send a general to inspect the army of one of its six subordinate counties.
This test is quite complex and cannot be done casually.
People coming from Fucheng need to check whether the military establishments in various places are full, whether there are people who are living on empty wages, whether there is an excess or shortage of establishments, whether vacancies need to be cut or filled, etc.
certainly.
The most important thing is to test the strength of the soldiers. This is an important weapon of the country and cannot be neglected in the slightest.
At this time, Qi Heyao made a fuss about performing martial arts test... At least from the outside, this is definitely something that makes sense.
After hearing this, Tie Tang gently clicked the button on the eucalyptus table and glanced at Li Qingwan.
The breeze blew by, fluttering the red robe, and Li Qingwan just said indifferently: "There is no room for negligence in the martial arts test."
On the surface, he was telling Tie Tang that the matter was serious, but in reality, he was warning Tie Tang not to act rashly.
With someone from the Si family, Qi Heyao has the support of power. Now if he wants to force the other party to sign a talisman, it may cause an accident.
The two brothers Tie Long and Tie Hu, who were watching from the back of the courtroom, saw this appearance and immediately felt that Tie Tang was being unfair.
"Brother Fang, what do you think my lord is doing? He holds the power of the county guard. Can't we just take this person down? There are so many experts present, why are we talking nonsense to him?"
Fang Lexian stepped down and formed a shimmering restriction, enveloping the three of them.
"How can officialdom be so simple?"
"It's not that Qi Heyao doesn't agree with him now, but he has shown that there is a reason for the matter and wants to make the agreement more slowly, so there will be no big flaw.
Do you understand?
It's not that people don't interact with each other, they just do it slowly, which makes sense when applied to Chao Ge. "
Tie Long said angrily: "Now that you are the governor of the county, can't you force him to hand over the military talisman?"
"It's not impossible, but the consequences may be very troublesome. If you insist on finding faults... Brother Tie can only make a fuss over some minor flaws.
If Qi Heyao is really offended and he quits his job and starts a mutiny for you, Brother Tie won't be able to step down. "
"Brother, what you said is right. If he rebels, just rebel. As soon as the master gives an order, he will be wiped out casually. Can he still fly into the sky?"
Fang Lexian laughed loudly and patted Tie Long on the shoulder several times: "It's a good thing you didn't join the officialdom, otherwise you might not have survived for three days.
Brother Tie's reputation is still shallow now, and his strength is not enough to convince everyone present.
If he really pushes too hard and makes the opponent jump over the wall, let alone whether he can suppress the rebellion by then, how many of the officials present will give him their full help?
Mutinies and rebellions often lead to disasters, which may lead to other inexplicable disasters.
These are all unforeseen circumstances!
Even if Brother Tie was very good at coordinating many officials in Qingshui County and suppressing the mutiny and rebellion as quickly as possible, it would still be a thankless task. "
"Why is this? The rebellion was suppressed on the spot. Maybe if you report it, you can get some credit. How could it be bad?" Tie Long didn't understand.
"title!"
"If word of this gets out, my reputation will be ruined."
"The so-called fame and fortune, fame is beneficial, especially in the officialdom, the importance of a person's reputation is not much weaker than his strength.
Even if I can suppress the rebellion in time, it will be very unpleasant if word spreads about it, and I may even be dismissed from the position of county guard on the spot.
You think...
It would be great if you were asked to become an official, but you provoked local mutiny as soon as you took office. Which superior would like such a subordinate?
Is this kind of official really capable?
The local county that has always been peaceful has become angry, mutinous and rioting just because you took office. Once this impression spreads, no one will think highly of you.
Therefore, the way to be an official...not only requires the ability to calm the storm, but also the ability to quietly and thunderously sweep away holes.
When it comes to really breaking things off and overturning the table...even if you win, you still lose. "
Tie Long sighed: "This official position is really difficult!"
As Fang Lexian said, Tie Tang also considered all aspects. It was impossible for him to completely break up with the local officials when he just took office and before he was firmly in the position of county governor.
Coupled with Li Qingwan's hint, he quickly made a decision.
"Since there is such an important matter, why didn't Lieutenant Qi say it earlier? It almost ruined our friendship. Performing martial arts and performing martial arts trials is a major military matter. I hope Captain Qi will work hard and not bring shame on me, Qingshui County."
Qi Heyao's brows trembled and he secretly asked, "What relationship do I have with you?"
However, when he heard Tie Tang's name, he knew that his military power was temporarily preserved, at least for seven days.
He quickly bowed to Tie Tang and saluted: "My official was not thinking well and almost bumped into Mr. Tie. I am busy with military affairs. Please allow me to excuse myself first.
Please rest assured, sir, after seven days, Qi will definitely not fall into the power of my Qingshui! "
Tie Tang had already given him the steps, but Qi Heyao still dared to hold on to his back, so he hurried down the slope and called himself "Sir". He would wait until he returned to the base camp to consider everything.
Tie Tang smiled slightly and waved his hand: "Captain Qi has military affairs to attend to, so he can go on his own."
After he left, other officials did not want to or dare to ask for leave.
Every time a new county magistrate takes office, it means that there will be a major reshuffle of the county's power structure. If you don't try to show your face and gain favor at this time, you may be squeezed out by then.
Therefore, the atmosphere of the following meeting was extremely lively. Regardless of whether they had taken sides in the past or whether they were cliques, everyone began to try their best to establish friendship with Tie Tang and talk politely.
It feels really good to be praised!
Tie Tang felt a little distracted at first, but after doing it more often, he began to feel a little boring. At the same time, he began to be alert in his heart and could not be immersed in the quagmire of officialdom.
Strength is the foundation of this world.
After briefly getting to know all the officials under his command, Tie Tang quickly decided to leave the meeting. Among the officials, he was invited to another banquet.
This reception banquet was indispensable. Tie Tang was sitting at the main seat and was being toasted and drank one glass after another.
Seeing that this attitude could not be stopped, Tie Tang decided to give the many officials in Qingshui County a hard blow and test their bottom line.
“Everyone, Tie’s trip to the Holy Capital opened his eyes a lot, and he also realized the shortcomings of our Qingshui County.
There are many improvements here...Do you have any ideas?
There are no official ranks at the banquet, so everyone can speak freely and there is no need to take it seriously. "
Some things are difficult to say in official circles, but it is different when it comes to private banquets.
But as soon as they heard that Qingshui County was to be improved... the mouths of many officials who had just returned their tongues seemed to be sewn shut with needle and thread, and the banquet instantly became silent.
Tie Tang sneered in his heart, knowing that what Fang Lexian said before was true.
Even if he is willing to contribute money and effort...
I'm afraid that this matter of setting up the formation will not be so easy to discuss.
At this banquet, Li Qingwan and Qiu Zhengyang did not come. Only Lu Zhengqing and He Changsheng supported Tie Tang.
The two of them knew that Tie Tang wanted to do something, but they didn't know the core of it, so they looked at their subordinates to support him.
Gao Zhuo, the commander of the county, stood up and saluted Tie Tang: "Your Excellency, you are an unparalleled genius with a great reputation. It won't take long for you to reach the fairyland.
Under your leadership, I believe Qingshui County will get better and better.
Moreover, Qingshui County is also the hometown of a certain Gao. If your Excellency is willing to establish a new law, I am willing to serve as a vanguard and fight through mountains of swords and seas of fire without even frowning. "
His words first pointed out Tie Tang's identity.
Tell the other officials present not to make too many unnecessary struggles and offend a talented person who can ascend to the fairyland. This deal cannot be done.
In addition to stating his position and supporting Tie Tang... he also had some true inner thoughts.
After all, Tie Tang's reputation has long been spread in Qingshui County, and he is really capable. He may really be able to manage Qingshui County in an orderly and prosperous way.
Immediately after Kong Gaozhuo, several more officials stood up and expressed that no matter what Tie Tang did, they would fully support him.
These people spoke without any hesitation, because they had already lined up and belonged to the faction of Lu Zhengqing and He Changsheng. All they had to do was follow their leader.
Tie Tang nodded repeatedly after hearing this, then glanced around at other officials who had not expressed their opinions, and immediately dropped a piece of bombshell news.
"I want to imitate the prefectures and gather the strength of a city to build a city defense formation. I wonder if you have any good ideas?"
As soon as these words came out, the sounds of throwing kuaizi, throwing bowls, and coughing could be heard one after another.
Many people were genuinely shocked.
Even Lu Zhengqing and He Changsheng, who were familiar with Tie Tang, raised their eyebrows. They did not expect that Tie Tang would make such a big deal when he first came up.
Fortunately, He Changsheng came from a poor family and his family was not large, so he basically relied on his reputation as the chief county catcher.
But Lu Zhengqing is different!
In addition to being the Prime Minister of Qingshui County, he also has the entire Lu family behind him.
As the No. 1 family in Qingshui County, any action in Qingshui City will inevitably conflict with the interests of the Lu family.
Especially for such a huge event as setting up a city defense formation, the Lu family could not stay out of it.
Even if he thinks highly of Tie Tang personally and has a deep friendship with him, as a member of the Lu family, he has to think about the Lu family.
As long as family interests are not involved, Lu Zhengqing naturally fully supports Tie Tang. Even if there is some conflict between the two, he can choose to give in.
But the city defense formation... was really involved, and it was no longer up to him to make a personal decision.
Lu Zhengqing is like this, and the reactions of other officials can be imagined.
Most of the officials are from wealthy families and have a strong base in Qingshui City. If you want them to give up their own interests, it is really a cut.
Letting Tie Tang be the county governor is justifiable and no one will have any objections.
Therefore, even though Tie Tang didn't have much foundation in the hall, he easily recruited most of the officials.
But now that their personal and even family interests have been touched, the situation is completely different.
Many people didn't even make superficial remarks. They stood up one by one and made excuses to leave.
"Ugh~ Sir, I'm too drunk to drink, so I'll take my leave first."
"Sir, my wife has boiled a pot of hot chicken soup at home and ordered me to rush back in time. I will take my leave now."
"Sir, I have a wife and concubine at home who is about to give birth. I apologize for the inconvenience."
"Oops, it hurts. I think I've eaten something bad. My stomach hurts like cramps. I need immediate medical attention. Please forgive me for being so slow."
.......
All the powerful court officials seemed to have been cursed at this moment, and everything was wrong with them.
Less than half a stick of incense.
The ten tables full of officials all left.
Even some officials who were not involved in the matter chose to leave on the spot in order to avoid right and wrong.
At this time, only Tie Tang, Lu Zhengqing, He Changsheng, and Tie Long, Tie Hu, and Fang Lexian were sitting at a table downstairs.
He Changsheng had the closest relationship with Tie Tang, and there were not many interests involved. After seeing the other person exposed, he began to speak frankly about what was on his mind.
"Setting up a formation? Why do you have such an idea? Not to mention whether the aristocratic families in Qingshui City are willing or not, the county doesn't have that much money.
Don’t you know how much a city defense array costs? "
Tie Tang picked up the wine bottle and poured a glass for Lu Zhengqing, then picked up his own glass and drank it all in one gulp.
"What do you think, Mr. Lu?"
The Lu family is the number one family in Qingshui County, and defeating the Lu family is half the battle.
on the contrary.
If the Lu family takes the lead in opposing...
That would be difficult!
Lu Zhengqing raised Tie Tang's filled wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. After putting down the wine glass, he slowly said: "Of course Lu agrees."
"It's just that...the Lu family may not nod so easily."
Tie Tang understands that Lu Zhengqing is Lu Zhengqing, and the Lu family is the Lu family, and they cannot be confused.
"How do you think I can convince them?"
Lu Zhengqing frowned, as if he thought of something, and slowly shook his head.
"Disaster!"
"Once the formation is down, nothing can be controlled by anyone. Even if the method of controlling the formation is only in your hands, many clues will inevitably be leaked. They will not agree so easily.
Since you have this proposal, you must have made a lot of preparations. You might as well talk about it and work together. "
Tie Tang pointed down: "The earth wizard downstairs is a member of the Fang family. He has a good relationship with me and got me the opportunity to have the formation master of the Fang family come.
Once that master arrives, he can coordinate the entire Qingshui City's dangerous terrain and build a tailor-made city defense formation.
In terms of money... Brother Fang will do his best to help me. With the Fang Family Treasure Pavilion here, the price will never be too high.
As long as each major family in Qingshui City contributes a small amount, I can make up for all subsequent expenses. "
The Fang family, the formation master, tailor-made, and several keywords in a row made Lu Zhengqing and He Changsheng shrink back.
They naturally knew what it meant. It was obvious that Tie Tang had made full preparations and it was not a sudden move.
"Do you... have so much money?" Even Lu Zhengqing didn't believe it.
Uh-huh! Uh-huh! Uh-huh!
Tie Tang took out the white paper fan and flicked it, and three white jade bottles fell down. Inside were the lucky numbers he got at the Qu Shui Shang.
"There are almost 30,000 years of life here, which can be used as principal. I can make up any difference in the future. If it doesn't work, I can also make a profit with Brother Fang.
He is a member of the Fang family, so it is not difficult to use some natural and earthly treasures.
I am about to enter the realm of witches and wizards, and breaking through the fairy gate is just around the corner. Money matters will never be a problem. "
"Hiss~"
He Changsheng took a breath and took a white jade bottle to check in disbelief.
When I saw that it was full of life elixirs, my mouth almost dropped.
"Good boy, where did you go out to rob the rich and give to the poor? It's just thirty thousand yuan for a lifetime. I've worked hard for so long, and all my belongings combined don't even amount to that much."
Lu Zhengqing relies on the Lu family, has a higher vision and stronger financial resources, but when he sees 30,000 years of life before his eyes, he has to tremble.
Moreover, Tie Tang's move has almost shown his determination. The formation of the formation must be carried out, and all obstacles in the way will be kicked away by him.
Lu family, Tie Tang.
When the two collided, it seemed that Tie Tang was the vulnerable one, but Lu Zhengqing knew that Tie Tang's ability was by no means that simple.
"I'll go back and check it out first. If I encounter any difficulties, I'll come to you for discussion. You don't have to rush. You can wait for a year and a half until you are firmly established as the county governor..."
Before Lu Zhengqing could finish his words, he was interrupted by Tie Tang with a wave of his hand: "I will never wait too long!"
Divine light was revealed in his eyes, the sun and moon appeared in the boy's hole, and the boundless starlight gathered in it. The blood flowing all over his body was like a sea, and his heartbeat was like thunder. It was like a god and demon came to the world, and the terrifying energy spread from the restaurant, making the entire Qingshui City Experts feel it.
"Seven days later——"
"No matter whether Qi Heyao will be obedient or not, I will cleanse the entire Qingshui City!"

The streets that used to be bustling with people are now desolate.

Only blood and mud mixed with minced meat, dust, and paper were left, indistinguishable from each other, which was shocking.
Not far away, a broken carriage was stuck deep in the mud, full of sadness. Only an abandoned rabbit doll hung on the shaft, swaying in the wind.
The white fluff has long been soaked into wet red, full of eerieness.
The turbid eyes seemed to have some residual resentment, looking lonely at the mottled rocks in front of them.
There, a figure was lying down.
This was a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old, his clothes were torn and covered with dirt, and he had a broken leather bag tied around his waist.
