In the county government office, Zhao Xingzhi personally poured a cup of hot water for Qin Yu.
It's not that Zhao Xingzhi is so hospitable, but that there are no servants in the house, and there is no wine to warm up, so he can only drink hot water.
"Oh! You made Qin County Lieutenant laugh." Zhao Xingzhi smiled bitterly and sat opposite Qin Yu.
Qin Yu looked at the dilapidated state around him, "It seems the situation is much worse than I thought. Even the county government mansion is so dilapidated."
"It seems that Qin County Lieutenant already knows something about the situation in Cang County." Zhao Xingzhi sighed.
"I only took up a post in Cang County before March..."
Zhao Xingzhi told Qin Yushu about a series of ridiculous things he encountered when he first came to Cang County.
As soon as Zhao Xingzhi arrived in Cang County, he encountered robbers several times in a row, and all the servants he brought with him were scared away.
After Zhao Xingzhi finally brought his family to Cang County, he was invited to drink by the so-called Cang County Army.
While he was drinking the wine, a sword was placed on Zhao Xingzhi's neck.
Then Zhao Xingzhi lost almost all his rights, and even letters to the court had to be checked by them and approved before they could be sent.
Even the salary from the imperial court first went to the hands of the Cangxian Army and was deducted to the point that it was finally in the hands of Zhao Xingzhi.
Now the whole family is scrimping on food and clothing, so they can barely survive.
"Master Zhao, these days are not easy." Qin Yu was very moved after hearing this.
I originally thought that the magistrate of Cang County was also in cahoots with the Cang County army, oppressing the people and doing all kinds of evil.
It seems to be a mistake. The magistrate of Cang County is just a puppet and can't do anything.
Qin Yu stood up and said: "Master Zhao, since I, Qin Yu, am the county captain of Cang County, then Qin Yu must change this situation! The Cang County army must be wiped out."
"Who can tell lies? I don't think you will live long!" At this time, the girl he saw before came in from outside the house.
However, the girl held a kitchen knife in her right hand and a wooden board in her left hand, resembling a soldier about to charge into battle.
The girl's look stunned both Qin Yu and Zhao Xingzhi.
"Nonsense! Put down the knife in your hand quickly!" Zhao Xingzhi's face turned dark.
"Oh." The girl muttered in response, then dropped the knife and wooden board in her hand to the ground.
Zhao Xingzhi said to Qin Yu with an embarrassed look: "This is my little girl Zhao Ling'er, who made Qin County Lieutenant laugh."
"Ling'er, I haven't said hello to Qin County Lieutenant yet." Zhao Xingzhi looked at Zhao Ling'er with a straight face.
Zhao Ling'er's first impression of Qin Yu was not very good, but due to her father's pressure, she obediently bowed to Qin Yu.
"I've met Captain Qin."
"Miss Zhao, you're welcome. I've offended you a lot before, so please forgive me, Miss Zhao." Qin Yu stood up and offered Zhao Ling'er his hand.
Zhao Ling'er didn't expect that he looked like a disciple before, but now he looked like a humble gentleman.
"Forget it, I don't remember the faults of villains, so I forgive you." Zhao Ling'er snorted, forgiving Qin Yu for his previous rashness.
"How presumptuous! Why are you talking to Qin County Lieutenant!" Zhao Xingzhi couldn't bear to listen. Qin Yu was the County Lieutenant after all, but he actually said that the County Lieutenant was a villain. How could this be okay?
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Qin Yu said hurriedly.
I had just been forgiven, but I couldn't make this girl angry again.
Sure enough, Zhao Ling'er became angry after being scolded. She snorted coldly, glared at Qin Yu, and left angrily.
"You girl! Be careful of how I treat you!" Zhao Xingzhi was so angry that he was so rude! How rude!
Qin Yu helplessly held his forehead, he finally made the beauty forgive him, what did you say, you bad old man?
"Captain Qin, my little girl is naughty, please forgive her." Zhao Xingzhi stood up and apologized.
"Master Zhao is joking, making Qian Jin forthright and lively." Qin Yu said with a helpless smile.
"Hey, let's not talk about that girl." Zhao Xingzhi's face turned solemn, "Qin County Lieutenant said before that he wanted to annihilate the Cang County Army?"
"Exactly! There is a cancer in Cang County Military City. If you want Cang County to survive, you must get rid of this cancer!" Qin Yu punched the table.
"I wonder how many troops Qin County Lieutenant brought to take office?"
Qin Yu stretched out three fingers and said, "More than three hundred people."
"More than three hundred people..." Zhao Xingzhi frowned, "The Cang County Army has at least a thousand people. The Qin County Lieutenant's more than three hundred people may not be enough."
"Three hundred people are enough." Qin Yu looked confident.
The three hundred people Qin Yu brought were all elites who had fought all the way back from Tunliu City.
The more than 5,000 Qi troops who faced the Qi army at the beginning, and even the Qi army camp with hundreds of thousands of troops, were able to kill them.
No matter how elite the Cangxian army is, it cannot be as elite as the Qi army.
"To be honest with Mr. Zhao, we have all just returned from the battlefield. Don't say he has a thousand people, even if he has ten thousand people, so what!"
Seeing Qin Yu being so confident, Zhao Xingzhi could only smile bitterly in his heart.
The soldiers who have just returned from the battlefield are indeed rare elites.
But the Cangxian army with more than 300 people who wanted to wipe out thousands of people was still a bit fanciful.
What's more, the Cangxian Army has been rooted in Cangxian for so many years and knows everything about Cangxian. It is extremely difficult to wipe them out.
At this time, Lao Huang hurried in.
"Sir! Your Excellency!" Lao Huang reported breathlessly: "Sir, there are several people claiming to be Cangxian Army, just outside the door."
Zhao Xingzhi's expression changed. He didn't expect the Cang County Army to find the county captain so quickly.
However, Zhao Xingzhi was also curious about how the young county captain in front of him would respond.
If he was a fool who only knew how to fight and kill, then that would probably be the end of the day.
"Who are they from the Cang County Army?" Qin Yu asked.
"There is a guy who calls himself Song Qian. If we hadn't stopped him, he would have just barged in." Lao Huang said.
"Song Qian!" Zhao Xingzhi stood up and said, "This man is the leader of the Cang County Army, he is extremely fierce."
"Qin County Lieutenant, I think you should avoid it if you can. There is no need to fight to the death with this person." Zhao Xingzhi admonished.
Qin Yu stood up with excitement on his face and said, "I didn't expect this person to be so restless. I thought I had to use some means to lure him out."
"Let's go! Since he is here, let's get rid of him today!" Qin Yu waved his hand and walked out with Lao Huang.
"Hey!" Just as Zhao Xingzhi was about to stop him, Qin Yu took Lao Huang out.
"Alas! After all, young man, I'm afraid I will have to change to another county captain this time." Zhao Xingzhi shook his head, very disappointed with Qin Yu's performance.
At this time, a large and dark group of people gathered outside the county government office.
Most of them were not well dressed, but these were not normal people, but members of the Cang County Army.
The three leaders, wearing large tiger-skin coats, sat on a carriage with eight horses, sipping wine very comfortably.
