?Life seems to have returned to peace.

The weather is getting colder and closer to the New Year.

Luo Cheng's daily life is very regular. He went to see Zhang Xutuo every morning, and then learned riding and shooting from him. Sometimes he would listen to Zhang Xutuo explain the methods of the army and the situation in the Sui Army's Guard Mansion.

Then have breakfast.

After breakfast, I went to the county magistrate Zhang Yichen to discuss some official matters. After that, I returned to the county magistrate's public room in the west wing of the county magistrate to check the daily affairs of the two houses and two houses of the household and three shifts.

Have a working lunch at the county government office at noon.

In the afternoon, I went to the county barracks to supervise the county soldiers. I occasionally took time to go to my father's blacksmith house in the camp to see the situation of the military construction. My father is also very busy now. During the day, he brought a group of rural soldiers to make iron and armor in the camp, and at night, he had to bring a group of bought slaves to make iron pots in his blacksmith shop.

Life is arranged very fulfillingly every day.

His riding and shooting skills and horse lance skills also made rapid progress under the guidance of Zhang Xutuo.

Another half month passed in a blink of an eye.

Zhang Xutuo asked him to come over early in the morning.

"You have good talent and learn things very quickly. You are already a little bit like riding and shooting now. You have also learned the basic key points of horse lances. In the future, you will become stronger and stronger."

"It's all good guidance from the teacher."

Zhang Xutuo said, "The bandit suppression in the mountains is almost done, and I am going to return to the county town."

"Is the teacher leaving now?"

"Well, this matter has come to an end. It's cold and we're going to prepare for the New Year."

Luo Cheng felt a little reluctant to leave after hearing this.

"I just received a bad news, so I asked you to come and tell you immediately. News came from Daxing. The Ministry of Personnel did not pass my recommendation. They chose another new county magistrate. I guess they will take office in a while."

Upon hearing this news, Luo Cheng felt a little fluctuating.

It is fake to not be fluctuated. After all, Zhang Xutuo first appointed him as the county lieutenant and personally recommended him. He also felt that the merit of suppressing bandits and capturing thieves should be able to be actually appointed as the county lieutenant.

But now, things still happened.

"I don't know what those people in the court think, but the meritorious ministers don't reward them, alas." Zhang Xutuo sighed in disappointment.

The new county magistrate is about to take office, so Luo Cheng, the county magistrate, will naturally not be regarded as the county magistrate.

Now that he has the ninth rank of official rank, he naturally cannot be the head of the third class.

"Even if you can't become a county lieutenant, you are still a chief lieutenant. Or, as long as you are willing, you can follow me back to the county town. When you arrive at the county town, I can arrange for you to take a military position in the county soldiers, which is relatively easier."

If you go back to the county town with Zhang Xutuo, you will have a future. After all, Zhang Xutuo is now his teacher, and you have a second-in-command teacher in Qi County, so how can you worry?

But Luo Cheng thought about it carefully, and finally shook his head.

"Teacher, I still want to stay in Zhangqiu."

"You have thought about it. Last time you rejected Zhang Yichen's relatives, and now you are going to have a new county magistrate who will seize your position. Moreover, the county magistrate and lord of Zhangqiucheng will definitely send new officials to come, and the situation may be very different at that time."

"Then I'm in the county barracks, they can't take care of me."

Of course, the county and county barracks must be assigned by the county government, but at the same time, the county barracks are also under the command of the county magistrate. After all, this is a county military system and will still have a relatively independent position.

If you don’t go to the county town, there are a few points to consider.

First, he went to the county town, and at most he had served in the military positions in the county soldiers, and perhaps he was still the commander of the county military camp. He could still lead the county military camp in Zhangqiu, and this camp in Zhangqiu was still the team he had already brought out.

Besides, there are so many old brothers and his family here.

This is his foundation.

"I'll let Runpu continue to stay and help you."

"Teacher Xie."

"I would like to remind you that the new county magistrate is very young, but very well-known. He is the legitimate grandson of the Minister of Works of the Ministry of Works of the dynasty. He is twenty-four years old and comes from the Jingzhao Du family, a famous family of the Guanlong gentry. Although he is young, he is very famous. This time he comes to Zhangqiu, he is obviously here to train. Don't mess with him, it's not easy to mess with him. If you really make trouble, I can't protect you by then."

I heard that the person who came was a crossing river, and Luo Cheng was helpless.

Such a good family background and such a good talent, he insisted on robbing him the position of county lieutenant.

"Anyway, I'm back to the county town, so I can't pay attention to you at any time. You'd better be low-key and clamp your tails together. Don't have a conflict with that young man. This County Magistrate Du is not a playboy in the capital, be careful."

On that day, Zhang Xutuo left Zhangqiu and left with several battalions of county soldiers.

City gate.

Du Ruhui looked at Zhang Xutuo and Luo Cheng farewell from a distance in white, and then led his army to leave.

"Zhang Xutuo finally left!"

"Well, he's gone, we can show up too."

Du Ruhui has been in Zhangqiu for more than half a month, but has not revealed his identity. He traveled around every day, and even went to the five towns in Zhangqiu to visit, and even went to Changbai Mountain, which had just wiped out the bandits.

I visited many places and recorded many words.

The homework has been done almost, so I just waited for Zhang Xutuo to leave.

Afternoon.

At the entrance of Zhangqiu County Yamen.

More than ten riders arrived at the door.

Several people turned over and got off the horse and walked into the yamen.

"Stop, who!"

"Shangguan is in office, hurry up and get out of here."

The young men in the yamen were guarding the yamen, and Luo Cunxiao came here to hear him.

"Stop the person coming and inform me of his identity!"

"Shangguan has arrived, why don't you come over to greet him quickly." The man said condescendingly.

The fourth brother became popular as soon as he heard this.

"You dare to pretend to be dead in front of me. I will be ordered to show your identity immediately, otherwise you will be killed for the crime of rioters. Brothers, search the guys, and prepare to take action!"

The young men didn't care about Shangguan. They only recognized Luo Cunxiao and Luo Cheng.

The fourth brother yelled, and all the young men on duty at the yamen picked up their hooks and sickles and surrounded them.

Seeing this situation, the man finally didn't dare to be arrogant.

"I am the new county magistrate entourage, you must not be rude."

"Bad, Zhangqiu County Captain is my fifth brother. Where did you come from? How dare you pretend to me?" As he said that, Luo Cunxiao was about to draw out a horizontal knife and chop people.

"presumptuous!"

A shout came from behind.

Du Ruhui rode forward, and more than ten riders surrounded him in front and behind him.

"I am the new Zhangqiu County Chief Du Ruhui. I came here to take down this arrogant person to me!"

With a command from Du Ruhui, more than ten cavalry around him surrounded him and wanted to get people.

"Who dares!" The fourth brother yelled and pulled out the horizontal knife.

"You said you are a county magistrate or a county magistrate? I also said I am the new county magistrate!" As he said that, he suddenly realized that this kid was the guy who had eaten the tyrant meal at his house before. "Good kid, it turned out to be you. Last time I went to my shop for the tyrant meal, I became even more courageous today, and I dared to pretend to be an official!"

Du Ruhui showed off his official seal and took out his officialdom and pronounced himself.

This complaint was issued by the Ministry of Personnel, and was a letter of appointment from officials. It was covered with the seal of the Minister of Personnel, which stated in detail the status of appointment by officials.

After venting his body and the official seal lit up, the fourth brother also knew that he seemed to have really messed with the new county lieutenant.

"Take it for me!" Du Ruhui waved.
Chapter completed!
