Zhao Ping did not move, and naturally no one else tried to persuade Xu Tianhua to stay.
The first person to react was Qian Liu.
He pushed the confused Zhao Ping and said, "Brother Ping, Xu Tianhua is our God of Wealth, are you just going to let him leave like this?"
"Don't you even want to explain it?"
"If things really get unpleasant, how can we make money through him in the future?"
"He just couldn't believe our great achievements and couldn't accept it for a while."
Zhao Ping smiled bitterly, "When he investigates clearly, he will come over to apologize to us and ask for our forgiveness."
"Sure?"
"You have to be sure. When have you seen me make mistakes?"
"Hehehe, that's true."
After Xu Tianhua left Xiping Village, he did not return to the county government, but went to the county town.
When he came, in order to give Zhao Ping the money early, he told Zhao Ping the benefits he had gained in the capital, which made Zhao Ping happy.
Passing by the prefecture and county towns, he did not stop.
But now I have to go back and find out the truth.
If Zhao Ping dares to deceive him, he will never be done with him.
Just thinking about it, he found that he had no way to deal with Zhao Ping.
First, the official position.
We are all seventh-grade wine tasting officers.
I have an additional seventh-grade county magistrate.
But Zhao Ping is a general holding a military talisman and Shang Fang's sword in his hand.
If you take the initiative to look for trouble, you might be beheaded by his sword, right?
Secondly, in human hands.
Even the county official Qi Liang obeyed Zhao Ping's orders. He, the county magistrate, was the only one, and at most he could be accompanied by some purchased slaves to protect the courtyard.
It is completely incomparable to the escort in Zhao Ping's hands.
What's more, there is Liu Mengru, a general of the Flying Eagle Army, beside Zhao Ping.
Finally, money.
Do you have more than Zhao Ping?
Even if there are really many, Zhao Ping knows how to do business and can tinker with them to still have diluted treasures.
What about yourself?
Apart from drinking, he knows nothing else.
As for uniting with others, Xu Tianhua has no such plans.
After all, I have worked with Zhao Ping for a while and are considered relatively good friends.
Even if the friendship breaks down, it's between them.
There is no need to ask others for help.
It seemed like he had grown up to the point where he looked up to him.
"Forget it, the worst possible outcome is that we won't have any contact with each other in the future."
Xu Tianhua shook his head and sighed, "Anyway, I have earned enough money to spend for several lifetimes, so I don't need to rely on him to make money anymore."
"But we should investigate anyway."
As for what Zhao Ping said was true, Xu Tianhua didn't believe it.
Are you kidding me?
Zhao Ping only has a few people in his hands. The Black Wind Village bandits plus the bodyguards led by Xia Quan probably cannot exceed 500 people, right?
What's more, when the bandits in Yun'an County were wiped out last time, hundreds of people were injured.
Even if he recovers a little from his injuries, his combat effectiveness will still be damaged.
How long have you left Yun'an County?
It only takes a month to make a full calculation.
Can he wipe out all the bandits in Qingzhou?
Even if Liu Dingbei comes in person with tens of thousands of troops, he may not be able to do it in such a short period of time.
Can Zhao Ping's few hundred men be worth Liu Dingbei's tens of thousands of troops?
Xu Tianhua couldn't believe it even with his toes.
As soon as it got dark, Xu Tianhua rushed to the county governor's house, met Peng Yue, and explained his purpose of coming.
Peng Yue stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Guan Xu, congratulations."
"Congratulations on what?"
Xu Tianhua was annoyed and replied angrily: "I have already been demoted to Yun'an County, is there anything else to celebrate?"
"How not?"
Peng Yue said: "A talent has emerged under your rule, a very, very outstanding talent."
"You single-handedly wiped out the bandits in the entire Donghai County. Doesn't this count as your credit?"
"Promotion is just around the corner."
In fact, it was also alluding to himself, who finally had a chance to be promoted.
"Zhao Ping really wiped out the bandits in Donghai County?"
Xu Tianhua asked: "How did he do it?"
"So and so..."
Peng Yue briefly told the story.
Of course, he did not personally attend the scene. He only sent people to various cottages afterwards to inquire about the situation and came up with his own conclusions.
All were sneak attacks late at night, without spending a single soldier.
Although Peng Yue didn't quite believe it, the facts were in front of him and he couldn't help but not believe it.
But in the last battle, because Yi Zhengbo, the deputy of the county official, was there, he understood it in more detail and told the whole story.
"Plot!"
Xu Tianhua exclaimed in amazement: "Mr. Zhao is really like a god with his troops."
"If he were to lead the army and guard the border, how would the enemy dare to invade?"
Xu Tianhua had already made up his mind to discuss this matter with Zhao Ping later and must persuade him to go to the border.
Only in this way can we be favored by His Majesty.
Stand out and be the best.
As for the thoughts of causing trouble for Zhao Ping, they have faded a lot after hearing Peng Yue's introduction.
But this is only the bandits in Donghai County, there are also bandits in Qingzhou.
Xu Tianhua did not pause, mounted a fast horse, and drove to the capital of Qingzhou day and night.
On the way, we changed three horses at the inn, and arrived in time for the opening of the city gate on the morning of the third day.
"Guan Xu, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing Xu Tianhua's appearance, Chen Xinghe couldn't believe his eyes.
If the other party hadn't reported his family name and produced his identity certificate, Chen Xinghe would have definitely thought that the other party was someone else pretending to be him.
There is still a little bit of the charm of the past.
The whole person looked as if he had emerged from the dust, with thick dust covering his face and body.
As soon as he raised his hand, he could see clumps of dust falling off his body.
He looked like a clay figure.
Xu Tianhua was equally shocked.
Because the Chen Xinghe in front of him was also very different from the Chen Xinghe he saw a few months ago. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were completely different.
Chen Xinghe, a month ago, had a rosy complexion and a round waist.
He staggered a bit as he walked, looking very rich.
But now Chen Xinghe has a sallow face and thin muscles, his belly has disappeared, and he looks tired.
He also staggers when walking.
But it's not that he's wealthy, but rather that he's sick and may fall down at any time.
Could it be that after he left, Chen Xinghe sang and sang every night, which led to this?
True, old age makes you stronger.
Xu Tianhua secretly admired him.
After coming back to his senses, Xu Tianhua shook his head and said, "Chen Zhoumu, let's not talk about this for now. Please tell me first, is the banditry in Qingzhou serious?"
"serious."
Mentioning this, Chen Xinghe became more energetic.
"Very serious."
"Half of the six departments in Qingzhou are involved."
"This is exactly what I am worried about."
"Look, I'm frothing at the corners of my mouth."
Chen Xinghe pointed at his lips, and they were indeed curled up. There were several white holes, which were scary to look at.
Sure enough, Zhao Ping lied to himself.
Xu Tianhua sighed secretly and greeted all Zhao Ping's ancestors.
Seeing Chen Xinghe's tragic situation, he symbolically comforted him: "Chen Zhoumu, suppressing bandits is not a temporary matter, but a long-term plan."
"You must not ignore your own health just because banditry is serious."
"If you fall, it will be a loss to the Wei Dynasty."
"Suppressing bandits?"
Chen Xinghe was stunned for a moment, "What kind of bandits are you suppressing?"
"Didn't you say that banditry is serious? Of course we want to suppress the bandits in Qingzhou."
"The Qingzhou bandits have been completely wiped out."
"It was wiped out? Then why are you still so anxious?"
"Can you not be in a hurry?"
Chen Xinghe said angrily: "I was only halfway through the investigation, and I found out that more than ten officials are involved with the bandits."
"The most serious thing is that the three ministers who have always been around me also colluded with the bandits."
"If the investigation continues, the entire officialdom of Qingzhou may have to be purged."
"They are all sent to the Regular Staff Department for punishment. How should we operate in Qingzhou?"
"Where can I find so many available people at once?"
"And this also involves some officials from the capital. Their direct or collateral relatives, in the name of doing business, collude with bandits and oppress the people."
"If I arrest all these people, those in the capital will definitely be unable to sit still."
"When the time comes, if you say something unfavorable to me in front of His Majesty, with His Majesty's suspicious temperament, you might cut off my head."
Xu Tianhua didn't care about these political affairs, he was concerned about the bandits.
He stepped forward and grabbed Chen Xinghe's arm and asked, "Who wiped out the bandits? How?"
"Your Majesty has just promulgated this decree, and in less than two months, you have actually completed it in Qingzhou? How is this possible?"
"Of course it's Mr. Zhao."
When it came to suppressing bandits, Chen Xinghe regained some of his expression, "Mr. Zhao is so powerful, he is like a god with his troops."
"He gathered the bandits in Qingzhou together, and then used only two hundred people to annihilate thousands of bandits without losing a single soldier."
"That person named Ruan Wendi is also very powerful."
"The strategies were endless, and the remaining bandits were so frightened that they all fled to Yuzhou."
"Just a few days ago, my men reported that except for bandits in Linhai County, there are no bandits anywhere else in Qingzhou."
thump!
Xu Tianhua fell to the ground and did not recover for a long time.
He kept mumbling in his mouth.
"Wrong, I was wrong."
"I have misunderstood Mr. Zhao and want to sever ties with him. I am really not a human being."
As he said that, Xu Tianhua raised his palm and slapped his face repeatedly.
this……
Aren't you here to help me?
Why are you beating yourself up?
Should I start a fight?
Chen Xinghe hesitated and just watched helplessly as Xu Tianhua wiped the dirt off his face.
First it becomes smaller, and then it grows larger into a pig's head.
