How did Han Zhen agree to him in the first place?
He will do his job carefully, and after he leaves office, he will be promised millions of dollars.
At that time, Han Zhen rebelled against him, and Changzhi County promoted him to an official position. The two sides will not owe each other!
But now, in just two months, there has been a sudden uprising and the capture of Yidu County.
You know, if Han Zhen gets into trouble and raises the flag of rebellion, Changzhi County will have no way out.
That's why Changzhi County was so horrified.
However, at this moment, Han Zhen paid no attention to Changzhi County. He stared coldly at the three people in front of him and said expressionlessly: "My order is for you to plunder the county granary. Whoever changes the order without authorization will Liu Qi or Nie Dong?"
He could not tolerate making his own decisions and changing orders without authorization.
Hearing the chill in his tone, the three Qingzhou Army soldiers trembled.
A soldier swallowed his saliva and hurriedly replied: "Excuse me, county magistrate. It was not because Nie Dutong changed the order, but because we had to do it because of the situation. Last night, when we arrived outside the county city on time, we suddenly found that people outside the city had already arrived. A group of dare Chi troops numbered five to six thousand people..."
The three soldiers told each other exactly what happened last night.
After listening, the evil spirit on Han Zhen gradually dissipated.
call!
The three soldiers couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The coldness in Han Zhen's eyes just now made them breathless.
Chang Zhixian, who was on the side, looked at Han Zhen and then at the three soldiers, his eyes filled with surprise and uncertainty. He somewhat suspected that this was a show that Han Zhen deliberately colluded with the soldiers to perform in front of him.
But when he looked at the expressions and tone of the three soldiers, they didn't seem to be fake.
For a moment, I wasn't sure.
Han Zhen asked: "What's going on in Yidu County now?"
A soldier replied: "When we came back, Battalion Commander Liu had already controlled all the city gates, and all the state officials were in the government office. Nie Dutong did not dare to make any independent decisions, so he asked us to rush back quickly. Please ask the county magistrate to take charge of the overall situation."
After pondering for a moment, Han Zhen waved his hand and said: "Thank you for your hard work, please go back to the military camp to rest. By the way, give me an order to have the Wei capital organize an army of two thousand, and be on standby at any time!"
"Got the order!"
The three people clasped their fists in response, then turned and walked out of the lobby.
After the three people left, Han Zhen turned around and explained: "This incident was purely accidental. I had no intention of occupying Yidu County. Premature exposure would be harmful to me."
Chang Zhixian stared at him, and after a moment, he slowly said, "How are you doing?"
He finally chose to believe Han Zhen.
After getting along with him for this period of time, he asked himself that he knew something about Han Zhen. Although this son had an unruly temperament, he was not a villain who broke his word.
Throughout Han Zhen's actions from the time he killed officials and went up the mountain to the present, everything he did was an upright conspiracy.
"What else can I do? I've already taken it all."
Han Zhen shook his head and laughed: "We can only repeat the old trick and completely tie Zhao Ting and others to the chariot. I hope they are wiser, otherwise I can only use their heads to test whether my sword is sharp!"
Hearing this, Chang Zhixian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
At the beginning, he was coerced and lured by Han Zhen, and finally boarded the pirate ship.
Now it's quite funny that old things are happening again.
Suppressing the weirdness in his heart, Changzhi County reminded: "Yidu County is no better than Linzi County. There are many officials in the state government. There are enough officials including Liu Cao to join the army, Mu Ke Du Tang, Professor of Ti Xue, and Supervisor of Soldiers and Horses. Bai, can you guarantee that all officials will be caught in one fell swoop? There will be no double-crossing people?"
"Any time a fish slips through the net, there is a risk of exposure."
The problem of redundant officials in the Northern Song Dynasty was serious. Many departments obviously only needed two or three officials, but they had more than ten officials.
There are even absurd situations in some counties where magistrates and county magistrates exist at the same time.
Han Zhen asked with a half-smile, "Does Changzhi County have any countermeasures?"
"This is difficult to say, but not difficult to say."
A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Chang Zhixian's eyes, and he said in a solemn tone: "Get a group of people, kill a group of people, and let them do it themselves. Then all the blame will be placed on the head of the Gan Chi Army."
"This is a good idea!"
Han Zhen nodded appreciatively and said, "Changzhi County is in charge of the county seat. I will go to the county seat!"
"Han Erlang..."
Chang Zhixian hesitated to speak.
Seeing this, Han Zhen pretended to be displeased and said: "You and I are just grasshoppers on a rope. If you have something to say, just say it. Why hesitate."
Chang Zhixian looked complicated and said: "If you get into trouble, please let me know in advance so that I can make preparations."
As for this preparation, it is unknown whether he is running away in advance or bringing his family members back.
Perhaps Changzhi County itself doesn't know this at this moment.
"Don't worry, I will!"
After Han Zhen said that, he turned around and left the lobby.
He mounted his war horse and galloped all the way to the military camp.
First, he came to the arsenal, put on his armor, and picked up his horse. Then Han Zhen stepped onto the school field.
At this moment, Wei Da's army has been organized, with 500 cavalry and 1,500 infantry arrayed on the campus.
Each one was heavily armored, reflecting dazzling light under the scorching sun.
The sturdy aura is unmistakable.
Standing on the high platform, Han Zhen shouted loudly: "Wei Da!"
"The general is here!"
Wei Da took a step forward and answered with cupped fists.
Han Zhen ordered: "I order you to guard the military camp. If anything goes wrong, you are the only one to ask!"
"The last general takes command!"
Wei Da responded.
"Xiao Wu, I order you to lead 1,500 infantry and set off immediately to go to Yidu by water."
"Got the order!"
Xiao Wu answered with cupped fists, then led the infantry quickly out of the military camp and headed towards the dock.
Then, Han Zhen ordered: "The cavalry battalion obeys the order, one person and four horses, follow me on the official road."
"yes!"
Five hundred and fifty cavalrymen shouted in unison, the sound was overwhelming.
Han Zhen waved his hand, walked quickly down the platform, and mounted his horse.
…
…
The sun was shining brightly.
The smoky smell, mixed with the strong smell of blood, filled every corner of the county.
After one night, the people in the county finally realized that something was wrong.
From last night to now, not a single state official has shown up. The city gates are closed and guarded by the so-called 'Army Guards'.
During this period, some people wanted to get close to the city gate, and the soldiers guarding the city gate immediately drew their swords to warn them.
At this time, even a fool discovered the problem.
For a time, the people in the county and city were panicked and uneasy.
The wealthy gentry in the city even closed their doors and hid in their homes, shivering.
Fortunately, these Qiu Ba only controlled the city gate and made no other actions, which gave the people some comfort.
In the government office, the officials, big and small, who had worked hard all night, finally couldn't stand it any longer. They all fell asleep on the desks in each hall without caring about their image.
In the lobby, Liu Mi took a nap and then woke up quietly.
Hunger in the belly, burning like fire.
Rubbing his cheeks, Liu Mi looked in the direction of the door.
After hesitating for a moment, he finally didn't have the guts to walk out.
They all blame Zhao Ting!
If it weren't for him, why would he have to suffer like this?
Thinking of Zhao Ting, Liu Mi couldn't help but stand up and walk towards the backyard.
He wanted to take advantage of this moment to ask Zhao Ting what kind of conspiracy he had with Han Zhen!
When he came to the backyard, the scene in front of him made Liu Mi tremble with anger again.
Zhao Ting, who had slept all night, was full of energy. He was sitting under the shade of the trees in the backyard, sipping hot tea and eating pastries. He felt very comfortable.
"Zhao Ting!"
Liu Mi's face turned red and he shouted loudly.
This sudden loud drink startled Zhao Ting, and he almost dropped the teacup in his hand.
When he turned around and saw that the person coming was Liu Mi, he breathed a sigh of relief and said in a reproachful tone: "How unbecoming is it to yell like this!"
Liu Mi was extremely angry and laughed back: "So, it's my fault, isn't it?"
All the troubles last night were caused by Zhao Ting. In the end, the guy was fine and left them alone to go back to the backyard to sleep soundly.
He was in the lobby of the front yard without a drop of water or a grain of rice. He was drinking tea and eating cakes in the backyard.
The more Liu Mi thought about it, the angrier he became and she wanted to slap him twice.
Seeing this, Zhao Ting knew he was in the wrong and sneered: "I was just about to call Brother Ning'an to come for dinner, but Brother Ning'an came by himself. Please sit down quickly."
With that said, Zhao Ting diligently made him a cup of hot tea.
"snort!"
Liu Mi snorted coldly and stepped forward.
When Qi returns, you still have to eat.
Besides, it was impossible for him to break up with Zhao Ting just because of this matter.
After sitting down, Liu Mi picked up a pastry, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it.
Seemingly choking, he quickly picked up the hot tea and took a sip.
After eating three pastries in a row and drinking some hot tea, I finally felt better in my stomach.
Liu Mi then asked: "What's the conspiracy between you and Han Zhen?"
"..."
Zhao Ting looked hesitant.
Seeing this scene, Liu Mi smiled bitterly: "Zhao Yanjian, Zhao Yanjian, you are in such a situation, do you still want to hide it from me?"
Zhao Ting hesitated for a moment, then lowered his voice and said: "This... Han Zhen and I conspired to plot the grain for the granary, 120,000 grains, priced at 100,000 guan."
As soon as Han Zhen arrived, he couldn't hide the matter even if he wanted to, so he might as well tell Liu Mi so that the two of them could discuss countermeasures.
"..."
Liu Mi was silent for a while.
He didn't know what to say. This guy would do anything to make money.
He dared to touch even the taxes collected by the state capital in the summer.
The key is that this time I ate alone without telling myself!
"You...you are really obsessed with money!"
It took a long time for Liu Mi to hold back such a sentence.
"well!"
Zhao Ting sighed and explained: "Last night was not my fault. Who knew that Dare Chijun would suddenly appear."
Liu Mi twitched the corner of his mouth, and then asked: "I'm afraid Han Zhen came here with bad intentions this time. How will you treat him?"
Hearing this, Zhao Ting said matter-of-factly: "What else can I do? Just give him the grain from the granary."
Liu Mi frowned and said, "Aren't you afraid that he will kill us and start a rebellion?"
"Don't scare yourself."
Zhao Ting's heart trembled, and he forced a smile and said: "Han Zhen is still doing business on the basis of our identity, and he will not be able to do without us in the future. Besides, if he wants to rebel, he can kill him last night Why wait until now to enter the government office?"
I don't know if these words were meant to comfort Liu Mi or himself.
"I hope so."
Liu Mi let out a long sigh.
"The county magistrate is here!"
Suddenly, there was a burst of cheers outside the government office.
The two of them were startled, and then looked at each other.
Han Zhen is here!
