At this time, in a large man in Gutian County, a middle-aged man with a beard was holding a letter he had just received. This person was Gutian County Lord Bo Wang Demin. He was born as a scholar and was not qualified to be an official. He relied on his sister to be a concubine of the prefect Huang Sihua and became Gutian County Lord Bo. Although this master Bo is not very strong, his power is not small. He is in charge of the county's grain tax and household registration, and is equivalent to Jixian Finance Bureau Director and Civil Affairs Bureau Director. In the county, except for the county magistrate and county magistrate, he is the number three figure in the county.

Especially Wang Demin is a native of Gutian and has a strong local power. In addition, he has the governor Huang Sihua as his backer, and the minor officials in the county listen to him, so he is even more powerful than the county magistrate. The county magistrates of Gutian were defeated by him and joined forces with the county magistrate Bai Du to become the commander of the bare commander. They either asked for transfer or accomplish nothing. They failed the performance appraisal and were dismissed. In short, no one could stay for a long time.

After reading the letters written by Huang Sihua to him, Wang Demin excitedly slapped the table. The opportunity came! A girl from the family gradually fell out of favor over the years. He went to Fuzhou several times to see Huang Sihua, a cheap brother-in-law, but Huang Sihua didn't meet him, which made him a little frightened. Although he is now the number one figure in the county, if he had no such backer as Huang Sihua, he would soon be defeated back to his original form!

Unexpectedly, Huang Sihua would take the initiative to compile a book for him and ask him to do things, and promised that as long as he did his job well, he would drive away the new county magistrate Guo Zhiyuan, and would recommend him to take over as the county magistrate and become the honor of a county! How could Wang Demin not be excited?!

As for Huang Sihua's letter, he also told him that although the new county magistrate Guo Zhiyuan was young, it was not simple. He asked him to deal with it carefully. If he should not underestimate the enemy, he would automatically ignore it. How powerful can a yellow-haired boy be? Among the previous county magistrates, who were also from Jinshi, were he also used to play with it in his palms. In the end, he had to ask for transfer from Gutian County in shame?

Of course, since Huang Sihua personally wrote a letter, he still needs to pay attention, so he excitedly walked back and forth in the hall and room for a few steps, and then called the servant loudly: "Go and invite the county magistrate Bai, and say I have something to do to discuss with him. Forget it, I'll go find him personally. Get my official uniform and I want to change my clothes!"

The relationship between Wang Demin and the county magistrate Bai Du was not very good. At most, it was a relationship of mutual use. When the county magistrate was sent down, they joined forces to undermine the county magistrate. When the county magistrate left, they fought internally. However, Bai Du was very smart and had a good relationship with the Sun family, one of the two major families in the county. Therefore, although Wang Demin had local advantages, he could not do anything to him. The two maintained this relationship of mutual use.

Bai Du was working in the county government office at this time. He was a juren. When he first came to Gutian County to be the county magistrate, he was full of ambitions and wanted to do something in Gutian County. However, he soon discovered that his ideals were full and the reality was very skinny. Gutian County was not only poor and backward, but also had family forces. When the county government orders came and went, there were basically no one who listened to it. What's worse is that there were often bandits here. These bandits came and went like the wind, looting everywhere, and locals were helping them. They could not catch them or beat them. There were such a group of guys who specialized in sabotage, and they could not handle any construction in the county.

At the same time, Bai Du also felt very unfair. The county magistrates sent by the court were all idiots, they were not diligent in their four bodies and were not divided into grains. The absurd government orders he gave were simply ridiculous. It was an insult to his IQ when he wanted to surrender to such idiots. Therefore, Bai Du also changed. He was no longer the Bai Du who was full of ambitions and wanted to do something in his career. He even joined forces with Wang De* to put those idiots under the idiots.

The only thing that Bai Du has not changed is that he still has the habit of working in the county government on time no matter what. Even if he goes to the county government, he has no official duties to do. He can only read books and practice calligraphy. He still appears in the county government on time every day regardless of wind and rain.

So Wang Demin knew very well where to find Bai Du at this time. He came to the county government excitedly. Bai Du was practicing calligraphy in the office at this time. Wang Demin broke in and shouted at Bai Du: "Brother Bai, you are so calm. Haven't you heard of it? The new county magistrate will come to take office tomorrow!..."

Bai Du glanced at Wang Demin, continued to practice his calligraphy, and said expressionlessly: "What does he have to do with me when he takes his duties?..."

Wang Demin slapped his thigh hard and said, "You can't say that. The county magistrate doesn't come. You and I have the final say in Gutian County. When the county magistrate comes, it will be less convenient for you and me to handle some things. If the person who comes is a difficult master, it will be even more troublesome..."

Bai Du glanced at Wang Demin again and said slowly: "I'm afraid the main reason is that the king's lord is not that convenient. I don't care about money and grain, and I don't care about personnel. He is his county magistrate, and I am my county magistrate. If the well water does not interfere with the river, what's the trouble?..."

Wang Demin blushed when Bai Du said that. He was in charge of the county's grain tax. He naturally made many moves over the years, embezzled and accepted bribes. Most of the minor officials in the county were assigned by him. If the new county magistrate wanted to rectify the county seat, he would naturally have to take surgery on him first. He immediately coughed awkwardly and said, "Brother Bai, it's boring to say that. I'm mainly because I'm not worth it for you. You are a juren, smart and capable, and you should have become a county magistrate in terms of qualifications. I heard that the new county magistrate came this time was a playboy from the capital. He didn't even pass the exam for scholars. Are you willing to be driven by such a fool's county magistrate?..."

Just as Bai Du said this, he was sore about Bai Du, who was practicing calligraphy, and raised his head to look at Wang Demin and said coldly: "What do you want to do?..."

When Wang Demin saw Bai Du's expression, he knew that he had been moved by himself. He smiled sinisterly: "Old solution, you and I will join forces to undermine him!"

Bai Du smiled coldly and said, "Why do you need to say that Bai is not talented, but not everyone can drive Bai's place under him..."

Wang Demin smiled and rubbed his hands and said, "There is another thing. The new county magistrate Guo Zhiyuan will come to the county to take office tomorrow. Brother Bai has always been resourceful. Can you help me come up with an idea? Let me join forces to give him a warning and let him know how powerful you and me are!..."
