On the way to the city, Luo Cheng was indeed full of anger.

These days, he remained calm on the surface and kept comforting the brothers below, but in fact he could hardly help himself.

He rode alone to the north gate of the county town, and replaced the guards of the city gate with a new Zhuang yamen runner. Luo Cheng glanced over at one glance and was full of strange faces.

Du Ruhui's actions were very fast and steady step by step.

He transferred 120 village warriors from the other four townships in Zhangqiu County except Changbai Township to form a new team of squads, and served as the head of the team with his own servants.

Luo Cheng rode a horse to the city gate, and several Zhuang yamen runners carrying horizontal swords were already leading a group of Min Zhuang to stop him.

"Who!"

Luo Cheng directly showed off his county military commander's sign.

"Luo Cheng, the county barracks!"

A very burly bearded man in the squad glanced at him, but he did not let him go.

"What happened to enter the city?"

"If you have any questions, please see the county magistrate."

In the past, the Zhuang Ban was Luo Cheng's subordinate, and even Zhangqiu City Defense was under his control, but now it is obvious that these new Min Zhuang ignored him.

After all, a Minzhuang was also from a village corps. When he suppressed bandits last time, he was incorporated into Luo Cheng's vanguard camp auxiliary corps, so he naturally knew Luo Cheng. He came to the man and whispered a few words.

The big man glanced at Luo Cheng a few more times, with a arrogant attitude and did not take Luo Cheng seriously at all.

Originally, the county soldiers, township groups, and people are all in the same system, and they are all catching thieves and gathering thieves to suppress bandits, but now this person's attitude is obviously intentional.

"What, can't I just want to enter the city?" Luo Cheng asked.

"The county magistrate may not have time to see you. Recently, the county magistrate and the county magistrate are busy reorganizing the county government."

"Whether the county magistrate has time to see me, it is the county magistrate's decision. You can't decide for the county magistrate."

The bearded man looked at Luo Cheng at the same time, and finally snorted, "Please."

Luo Cheng ignored him and rushed into the city.

After entering the city, Luo Cheng found that Zhangqiu City was no different from the past, but now there are Zhuang squads wearing the words "Min Zhuang" written on the streets and alleys of Lifang, and there are also a team of Min Zhuang patrols from time to time.

He rode his horse straight to the county government.

In front of the county government, there were also a group of strong men standing with spears, and led the team with a few knives. It was obvious that the ones carrying the knives were the Du family members brought by Du Ruhui. They were worthy of being a famous family. They brought many capable staff and easy-going servants in their office.

Logically speaking, although Luo Cheng, the county barracks commander, is stationed in the county town, actually has to be under the jurisdiction of the county, especially the county magistrates responsible for common affairs, have the right to directly manage and mobilize.

But after Du Ruhui came, he was not summoned at all, and Luo Cheng never came.

"Luo Cheng, the county barracks, wants to pay a visit to the magistrate of County Zhang and report any information."

Min Zhuang, who was guarding the gate, checked his official seal according to the rules, and then sent someone to inform him, not allowing him to enter directly.

After a while, Zhang Yichen's eldest son came out in the yamen.

"Emperor Luo is here, the envoy sends me to welcome you in."

Following Changsui into the yamen, Luo Cheng felt that it was so strange now.

Not long ago, he was the second-in-command of this county government, in charge of the rank of Cao and commanding the common affairs, but now all the people coming and going here have basically become strange faces.

"The county government has changed a lot." Chang Sui also sighed.

On the way, he carefully told Luo Cheng that after Du Ruhui took office, he kept making big and small moves, not only drove Luo Cheng, the county lieutenant and his county barracks, but also drove away his third squad. Then he also opened all the clerks of the two houses and warehouses that had been temporarily promoted or retained.

"Now, the two houses and three ranks of clerks in the county government are all brought by County Magistrate Du, and only a very small number of them were promoted from the local area."

Luo Cheng listened to his words and was also a little dissatisfied with Du Ruhui's behavior. He estimated that Zhang Yichen might have such thoughts.

After all, Zhang Yichen is the chief official and Du Ruhui is the assistant official. Now when he comes, he cleans up the county government from top to bottom. On the surface, it seems to be cleaning Luo Cheng, but in fact it is directed at Zhang Yichen.

When he arrived at the Houya, he was accused of Zhang Yichen and went to the county magistrate hall in the east wing of the front yamen to discuss matters.

"Please wait with tea here."

Luo Cheng sat there waiting helplessly, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't see anyone coming.

A bowl of tea has long been cold and no one has added it.

It’s really cold when people leave.

"What are you thinking? I've been in a daze and I can't help calling you outside."

A voice sounded in my ears. Luo Cheng looked up and realized that it was the girl next to Zhang Qianjin.

"It's the Red Line Girl." Luo Cheng stood up awkwardly and said hello.

This girl is the adopted daughter who Zhang Yichen originally planned to marry Luo Cheng.

After a while, the red line has changed a lot, and the dress on my body has also changed. It is no longer a maid's outfit, but a lady dress with a big sleeved dress.

"I happened to pass by and saw you dazed here. What are you thinking?" Hong Line didn't seem to be embarrassed.

"Oh, I was just a little distracted suddenly."

Red Line looked at him and found that he seemed to be more calm.

"Do you think the tea is cold when people leave, and the world is cold?" asked Hongxian.

“It’s a bit.”

"Then do you still blame my adoptive father in your heart?"

"No."

"I said no, but I must have it in my heart, but in fact, you really can't blame my adoptive father for this matter. The new county magistrate is not simple. He is the legitimate descendant of the Du family of Jingzhao and the grandson of the Minister of Works of the Ministry of Works. He is from a famous family, with a noble status, and a young and talented person. He heard that he had arrived in Zhangqiu long ago, but he did not reveal his identity. Instead, he was secretly checking the situation of Zhangqiu. Then you and your brothers offended this person, so he insisted on driving you away as soon as he took office."

"My adoptive father also said a lot of good things to you, but he refused to give in at all."

Luo Cheng shook his head.

"It's really impossible to say that we offended this County Commander Du. Although there is a bit of a misunderstanding, I think if he keeps that little thing in his heart and wants to avenge his private revenge, then he will be too narrow-minded."

Red line covers his mouth and smiles.

"The adoptive father said the same thing. He said, in fact, offense is just an excuse. The reason why he can't tolerate you is that he is very ambitious and arrogant. He wants to take power, so he attacks you directly. He actually wants to force you to leave by himself."

"By the way, aren't you a disciple of Zhang Juncheng? Why don't you go to the county town?"

"I would rather stay in Zhangqiu!"

"But County Magistrate Du can't accommodate you."

"I am Zhang Jun's person. Zhang Jun can't see that I have been bullied by County Magistrate Du like this, right?" Luo Chengdao.

"The adoptive father is also helpless." Hongxian said.
