Upon hearing this, Hu Yanzhuo hesitated slightly and said: "Wen Yao, you have not been with your brother for a long time. You may not know that since my brother officially came to power, Liangshan has been divided into civil and military affairs. We are in charge of affairs, secrets are in charge of military affairs, and general civil servants are in charge. The appointment was selected and reviewed by Wu Yong's military advisor's office, or my brother personally ordered me to be the leading general. If I appoint the general judge privately, I might be suspected of overstepping my bounds, which doesn't seem good."
Han Wenyao's eyes moved, and he pretended not to care and smiled: "The general is one of my brother's generals, and his ancestor was a famous general who founded the country. He is just a general judge. I guess even if he is appointed, my brother will not blame him!!"
Hu Yanzhuo's face changed, and he immediately said seriously: "Wen Yao, don't talk nonsense. How can you change my brother's orders at will? Whether it's me as a person, employing people, running the army, managing politics, or even martial arts, I am Hu Yanzhuo." Zhuo admires me very much, even if I, Hu Yanzhuo, am proud, I will never disobey my brother!!"
Seeing this scene, Han Wenyao showed admiration, "The general is so loyal, I admire him!!"
Hu Yanzhuo took a look and immediately understood that Han Wenyao was testing him, and said angrily: "You guy, don't do this again."
"General atones." Han Wenyao smiled and said: "Actually, the general has overly worried. He did not appoint him directly, but recommended him. The people of Zichuan have suffered so much in the past. It is best to find someone who understands the local situation to temporarily serve as the governor of Zichuan." The general magistrate of the state is in charge of people and knows the power of the state. In this way, Yang Yin may take the initiative to resign after he comes back. In fact, this matter is not easy for my brother to handle because of his promise. The general's intervention will definitely be more in line with my brother's wishes. In addition, After all, he is a general magistrate, not a state magistrate. If it is not suitable in the future, he can be appointed again."
Hu Yanzhuo heard this and said curiously: "From your words, it seems that there is a suitable candidate."
"There is indeed one, but I don't have enough qualifications and prestige. The general needs to go there in person."
Hu Yanzhuo nodded, "Of course, a great talent should be respected. Who is this person??"
"This man's name is You Ziqi. He used to be the county magistrate of Changshan. However, he lost his official position after being framed by Yang Yin. He is extremely capable and has high prestige in the hearts of the people in Changshan. When I was the magistrate of Zhangqiu County, , I have often heard of him, and now he is in Yidu City. I heard that his current situation is not very good. He has lost his salary and his family is somewhat poor, especially now that the New Year is about to come."
Hu Yanzhuo heard this and said, "Then I will send someone to bring some valuables."
"No, Commander, what such a person needs most now is respect and trust."
Hu Yanzhuo's eyes moved, and after taking a look at himself, he said, "If I go wearing armor, am I suspected of being a threat? How about I change into casual clothes first?"
Han Wenyao was stunned and said with a smile: "It's still the general's thoughts."
"Haha, okay, let's go, let's go, you are telling me about his situation," Hu Yanzhuo said.
"good!!"
. . .
Not long after, in the North Street of Zichuan City, in front of an ordinary house, Hu Yanzhuo, who had changed into casual clothes and became more easy-going, arrived here with Han Wenyao, Ou Peng, and several soldiers. .
"Is this here??" Hu Yanzhuo said.
"Exactly"
After hearing this, Hu Yanzhuo tidied his clothes and said, "Ou Peng, knock on the door and be polite!!"
"yes"
I saw Ou Peng stepping forward and knocking on the door carefully. After a while, the door opened, and a beautiful and elegant woman with a big belly appeared in front of me. Looking at the arrival of Hu Yanzhuo and the others, I couldn't help but wonder. Explained: "How many people are there??"
Hu Yanzhuo took a look and quickly saluted and said: "Madam, you are polite. We want to come and pay homage to the county magistrate."
Hearing this, the woman was surprised and said: "Do you know your husband??"
"Exactly"
"I'm really sorry. My husband has something to do and is out temporarily. How about you go inside and wait a moment?" the woman said hesitantly.
Just when Hu Yanzhuo was about to respond, Han Wenyao pulled gently.
Hu Yanzhuo took a look and understood immediately, "Thank you madam, but since Magistrate You is not here, we should wait outside!!"
"Little sister, who is here??" At this time, a dissatisfied shout rang out, and a man dressed as a businessman appeared next to him with a bit of arrogance in his eyes.
"They are some of my husband's acquaintances."
"His bad temper, we still know each other." After taking a look, the man suddenly looked at Ou Peng, who was standing behind Hu Yanzhuo, and was shocked and said: "This, isn't this Commander Ou?"
Ou Peng was stunned, "Do you know me??"
"It's really Commander Ou. The Commander severely punished the Zhou family this morning, and I'm here too." The man said excitedly, and suddenly looked at Hu Yanzhuo and Han Wenyao, and suddenly trembled, "It turns out that General, Military Advisor Han is here, hurry, please come in !!”
The pregnant woman's expression also changed at this time.
Hu Yanzhuo took a look and said, "Your Excellency is..."
"I am Zhang Bu, the shopkeeper of Nanmen Silk and Satin Store, and this is my little sister Zhang Xiuxiu," the man immediately introduced himself.
Hearing this, Han Wenyao said: "Madam is alone at home and pregnant. We rough guys will not go in for the time being. We will wait until Magistrate You comes back!!"
"Military Han, it doesn't have to be like this." Zhang Bu quickly gestured to Zhang Xiuling anxiously.
Zhang Xiuling took a look and was about to agree when suddenly the words her husband once said came to her mind and said: "How about I go find my husband first?"
"Little sister, you..."
When Hu Yanzhuo heard this, he immediately said: "Madam is pregnant, so don't work too hard."
After saying that, he looked directly at Zhang Bu.
Zhang Bu was startled and said quickly: "Go to the common people, the general will wait a moment."
After seeing Zhang Bu leave, Zhang Xiuling saluted and said: "Xiao Zhai is neglecting."
"Madam is serious"
Not long after, after a burst of anxious footsteps, a man in his thirties with a short beard rushed back anxiously, carrying a piece of meat and Zhang Bu, and shouted: "lady"
"Husband" Zhang Xiuling looked happy.
"Madam, are you okay?" The man ran to Zhang Xiuling worriedly. He was the former Changshan County Magistrate You Ziqi.
"I'm fine"
"This must be Magistrate You! Under the command of the Jiedushi of the Xia Song Dynasty, Liangshan Youxiao Guard Hu Yanzhuo" Hu Yanzhuo said at this time.
You Ziqi looked at Hu Yanzhuo and the others who were still standing at the door. After a moment of surprise, he clasped his fists and said, "General, I'm waiting for you, please!!"
"Thank you!!"
. . .
Soon, in the main hall of the small house, excited voices could be heard, "Tong Juan, exercise the power of knowing the state!!"
Zhang Bu's face was full of excitement.
Seeing this scene, Hu Yanzhuo smiled and looked at You Ziqi. Seeing that he was not very excited, he said softly: "You County Magistrate, is there any problem? Just say it."
When You Ziqi heard this, he shook his head and said, "I have been dismissed from my official position a long time ago. I'm afraid I won't be able to take on such an important responsibility."
"Brother-in-law" Zhang Bu suddenly became anxious and said quickly: "The general values this and cannot be entrusted to others."
"It seems that Brother You still has misunderstandings about Liangshan. However, Brother You should not consider himself, but also the people of Zizhou. For some reasons, Yang Yin's Zhizhou cannot be withdrawn for the time being. Brother You feels that if he lets him control Power, what will be the consequences?" At this time, Han Wenyao said.
You Ziqi's expression changed and he hesitated slightly.
"You County Magistrate, I did occupy the mountains and forests in Liangshan before, but now my brother has been officially appointed by the court. My brother attaches great importance to the people and talents. As long as you are willing, you can arrange the future development of Zizhou. We can’t let Yang Yin wait to harm the people!!”
"Yes, yes, what the general and military advisor said is true. In addition, you should also consider Xiuling. She is pregnant now and has to take care of the housework. What if she is careless?" Zhang Buye said.
You Ziqi was startled and turned to look at Zhang Xiuling who was looking and listening through the side door. In the end, he was defeated by the ruthlessness of reality. He stood up with a sigh and said: "The general is so polite. If the subordinate refuses again, he will be a little arrogant." Big!!”
"Haha, okay, then I will wait for the verdict at the government office tomorrow."
"Thank you General!!!"
. . . .
On the second day, I saw an official in the house carrying a brand-new official uniform, several maids, servants, guards, and a lot of money and property arriving here in advance.
"I report to you Tongpan, the military advisor has arranged a special residence for Tongpan. These are all rewards given by the general on behalf of his brother. A sedan has been prepared outside the door. From now on, it will be used exclusively for Tongpan."
Seeing this scene, You Ziqi glanced at Zhang Xiuling with a sigh on her face, and said warmly: "Madam, please change my husband's clothes!!"
"kindness!!"
Not long after, in front of an official sedan outside the house, You Ziqi, who had changed into official uniform at this time, suddenly looked very majestic, looked at Zhang Xiuling who came to see off Zhang Xiuling, and said warmly: "I may come back later today, this period It’s time, madam, you go to your new house first, and be careful about your health!!”
"My husband is at ease"
"Okay." You Ziqi nodded and got into the official sedan.
After Zhang Xiuling watched the official sedan leave, suddenly a shout came from behind her, "Sister, brother is here."
Zhang Xiuling turned around and looked at Zhang Bu, who was excitedly coming with several helpers. She smiled bitterly and shook her head. In fact, his brother was not a bad person, but a bit of a philistine.
