Ziyang City is not too far from Qufu, and you can reach it on the same day by horseback.
Because of the appearance of the Tiger Banner Cavalry, it was very quiet along the way. Not even a single pedestrian was seen on the road. The situation did not improve until near Ziyang City.
Kong Yinjing appeared outside Ziyang City with his servant.
Looking at the flow of people coming in and out of the city gate in front, it was much better than when he left Ziyang City in embarrassment.
"Sir, it doesn't look like Ziyang City has been bandited anymore. It's almost the same as when I came to Ziyang City before." The boy looked at Kong Yinjing with puzzled eyes.
In his imagination, Ziyang City suffered a military disaster and was occupied by bandits. It should be in a state of depression. It should never be like this, with hordes of people lining up to enter the city.
"You'll know after you go in and take a look." Kong Yinjing also didn't understand what was going on.
If it weren't for the elderly and young people among the people entering the city, he would have suspected that these people in front of him were disguised by people from the Tiger Character Banner.
It is really unbelievable that Ziyang City, which had just suffered a military disaster, restored people's livelihood and stability so quickly.
Kong Yinjing urged his horse to move forward and slowly merged into the flow of people entering the city.
In front of the city gate, there are soldiers with tiger flags guarding it.
These people are just maintaining order. They are not like the guards at the gates of the Ming Dynasty in the past, who collected entry fees from people entering the city.
"Stop!"
Just when Kong Yinjing and his boy were about to enter the city gate, a tiger-character flag soldier stopped them at the gate.
Kong Yinjing tightened the reins in his hands and controlled the horse to stop.
Turning around, he looked at the Tiger Flag soldiers who stopped him in confusion and asked, "What mistake did we make? Why did we stop my master and servant from entering the city."
"I'm not stopping you from entering the city." The soldier who stopped Kong Yinjing said, "You are riding horses among the crowd. If the horses startle, they will easily hurt passers-by. You'd better hold them. When horses enter the city, it is not too late to ride on horseback when they reach a section with few pedestrians."
The soldier explained the reason why he stopped Kong Yinjing's master and servant.
Kong Yinjing breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
As long as it's not directed at yourself, that's fine.
He said, "You're right, it's me, Meng Lang, who didn't notice this. Now let's dismount and lead the horse away."
With that said, he turned over and jumped off the horse.
The boy on the side had no choice but to dismount with him.
"Okay, let's go into the city. Don't make trouble after entering the city. If you encounter any trouble, you can directly tell the people patrolling on the street, or you can go to the Yamen." Seeing that Kong Yinjing was very easy to talk to, the soldier said enthusiastically A few words of advice.
"Thank you, I'll note it down."
Kong Yinjing thanked the soldiers in front of him and hugged his fists, then led his young man into the city.
When he came to the city, he found that there were more pedestrians on the street, and most of the shops on both sides were open, with only a few still closed with their doors closed.
"Master, we have already left the city gate for a while. Do you want to get on the horse first? I will lead the horse for you." The young man said to Kong Yinjing.
After hearing this, Kong Yinjing waved his hand and said: "The government office is not far away. It's only a few steps away. Let's lead the horse and walk!"...
He looked left and right to look at the situation on the street.
It had only been a few days since the battle in Ziyang City. Unexpectedly, Ziyang City had returned to its previous liveliness so quickly, and there was no trace of chaos at all.
Along the way, he watched and admired the power of the tiger flag.
The fact that Tiger Character Flag was able to restore the prosperity of the city so quickly is enough to show that Tiger Character Flag's ability is extraordinary.
"Sir, we are here. This should be the government office." The boy noticed the plaque in front of the government office and hurriedly pointed his finger to remind Kong Yinjing.
Few boys in ordinary families can read, but in the Kong family, many boys can read some words, and many of them are originally from the Kong family.
When I was a child, I went to family school, or as a book boy, I went to school with the young master of the family.
Kong Yinjing raised his head and glanced at the direction of the boy's finger, and then realized that he had arrived at the door of the government office unknowingly.
"You stay here and look after the horses. I can go in alone." Kong Yinjing told the boy beside him and handed the reins to the boy.
And he walked towards the government office alone.
When we arrived at the stone lion in front of the government office, we met a man walking out of the government office.
"Are you here to complain?" The other party asked when he saw Kong Yinjing was about to enter the Yamen.
Kong Yin bowed to the other party respectfully and said politely: "I came from Qufu and came here specifically to see General Chen."
"Master Chen is not here, you are in the wrong place." The man said to Kong Yinjing.
Kong Yinjing was stunned for a moment after hearing this.
You must know that he just met Chen Xunping in the government office a few days ago. It has only been a few days, but he did not expect that the person is no longer here in the government office.
And his first reaction was that the other party's troops were setting off again, and maybe the target was Qufu.
"You have something to do with Master Chen?" the man asked.
Kong Yinjing hurriedly replied: "I came here specifically to see General Chen. I wonder where General Chen has gone?"
"You need to find Chen Shizheng and go to the Wei Commander's Yamen. He just moved there yesterday." The man explained to Kong Yinjing.
Kong Yinjing breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
As long as we don't attack Qufu.
"Thank you brother for informing me, thank you very much." Kong Yinjing thanked the other party, turned around and left the government office to go to the commander's office.
He is very familiar with the situation here in Ziyang City. Several yamen were no stranger to him.
However, just as he was about to leave, he turned around and asked the person in front of him: "I wonder who is in charge of the government office at the moment? Master Chen is trying not to stay here in the government office."
"You are quite curious." The other party looked at Kong Yinjing and said, "The prefect in Ziyang City came from Henan. When he just took office, Chen Shizheng has handed over government affairs to the new prefect. If you If you have any questions, you can also contact the new prefect."
"I see." Kong Yinjing understood what was going on.
At this time, he realized that the Tiger Character Banner actually had its own civilian team, which was different from the general team. It was not like ordinary bandits who had the final say on who conquered the city.
"Do you have anything else? If anything happens, I can take you to see the prefect." The other party said to Kong Yinjing.
Hearing this, Kong Yinjing waved his hands hurriedly and said: "It's okay, it's okay. I'd better go to the commander of the guards to see General Chen. I have some friendship with him."
"Okay, you can go if you want. However, if you really have something to do, you can ask the prefect to resolve it. Chen Shizheng has stopped interfering in government affairs." Seeing that Kong Yinjing insisted on seeing Chen Xunping, the other party had no choice but to explain more. One sentence.
"Thank you, I'll note it down."
Kong Yinjin clasped his fists. .
