The strong man with arrows at his throat claimed to be a child of the Tian family of Yan. His words were extremely arrogant. Obviously, he thought that his identity was not limited by military orders, and he did not take General Pingbei seriously. It is natural for him to dare to be so rude. The Tian surname is a big surname of Youzhou, and it is divided into three branches: Beiping, Yuyang, and Yan. There have been many talents and officials throughout the ages. At the end of the Han Dynasty, Tian Kai, who served as the governor of Qingzhou under Gongsun Zan, served as the guide for Cao Gong's conquest of Wuhuan, and many others, such as Tian Yu, the general of the Huns who was powerful in the northern border, stirred up the storm and was a famous figure in historical records.

Although there were few central officials since the founding of this dynasty, many governors and county magistrates who came to the local government would rely on the forces of the Tian family to recruit the children of the Tian family as officials. This strong man named Tian Min was a unique reputation among the contemporary legitimate children of the Tian family in Yan State. He served as the chief clerk of the county twice, and his family was in Lu County. Yongnu had a large wall and had a large number of relatives and had great influence. Even among the people in the tent at that time, he was one of the few people with a high status. It was Zhu Shuo who worked hard to win over and divide the old ranks of King Peng Zu.

Unexpectedly, such a local hero with extraordinary status, the Dai County Army actually killed him without even saying a word of hello! Everyone in the tent saw Tian Min still making a sound before, but was nailed to the pillar the next moment, his hands and feet were still twitching slightly, and they were all shocked. While they were silent, they heard someone outside the tent sneer: "What is the Tian family of Yan State? Is it very famous? I killed it like killing a dog."

The man who sneered immediately stepped into the tent and turned out to be a young officer in full military uniform. His slightly rounded face made him look a little childish, but his cold eyes when he glanced at the people in the tent immediately made everyone understand that this must be an officer in the Dai County Army who had been through many battles.

The young officers and soldiers ignored the people in the tent with a panic expression, but walked directly to the beam and pillar to stand firm. He held Tian Min's hair bun in his left hand and grabbed the arrow shaft of the eagle arrow with his right hand swaying up and down. With this action, the broken blood vessels were squeezed by the shaking arrow shaft, and blood surged out in the strange sound of the princess. After shaking three or five times, the wound between Tian Min's throat was torn to a terrible level, so that the gray cervical spine could be directly seen.

The officer nodded with satisfaction, exerted force, pulling out the arrows. Releasing his left hand, Tian Min's body fell to the ground like a pool of rotten flesh, his head and neck twisted, and his originally protruding eyes turned blood-red for some reason, and seemed to be staring at the people in the tent. The officer rubbed the blood-stained arrows on his sleeves without any concern, and turned to face everyone.

Not to mention the children of the wealthy clans, even the leaders of the army who were usually brave and fierce, were so frightened by these actions that they thought he was not going to attack someone next, so they took a step back in one go. Unexpectedly, the officer still ignored everyone. He strode to the tent door and shouted loudly, "Mr. Fang, Zao joins the army, why haven't you come in yet?"

"Cough cough cough cough cough..." The two people's coughs rang out at the same time.

After a while, someone outside the tent said helplessly: "The tent is very narrow... Cough cough... I am planning to ask you to come out and talk... General Zhu is worried."

"So that's it." The young officer muttered and asked again: "Is that nothing wrong? I think these people dare not make trouble anymore, but they still have to stare at them!"

"...It's okay, General Zhu please do whatever he wants."

"Okay!" The young officer seemed to find it a little boring. He nodded, and turned away as soon as he lifted the curtain. Seeing that he seemed to have done something insignificant, he did not take any shooting to heart.

The curtain was lifted up again.

Everyone in the tent trembled for a while, fortunately, the one who appeared in front of them this time was not a murderer who was not a soldier who was killing without blinking, but a handsome scholar. Fang Qinzhi, the chief clerk who is now highly valued by Lu Daoming.

Many people in the tent knew this great merchant who had been in contact with Youzhou and the grassland for many years, and even had many business deals with him. Even if he didn't recognize him before, when watching the competition during the day, he had seen Fang Qinzhi accompanying the general Pingbei day and greeting him from afar.

Fang Qinzhi looked full of spring breeze, as if the bloody scene had never happened. He took turns to bow to everyone, and said endlessly: "Oh, Brother Feng Shi, long time no see, your spirit is getting stronger and stronger! What? I have a new concubine? Ah hahaha, come back and give me a gift, don't be polite... Old Man Lu has always been safe? The last time the two northern horses still attracted your favor? Hahahaha, no problem, there are many good horses, how many are you?... This one is... Oh oh, it turns out to be Xianyu's nephew. I haven't seen him for a few years. The young man is so handsome that I can't recognize him! Ling Zun is so good... What? It's actually... Oh, this... today's weather hahaha..."

With just one mouth, Fang Qinzhi took care of more than ten powerful families at the same time. The overly enthusiastic dealing with people often made people feel uncomfortable, but at this time, it brought some vitality to the representatives of the wealthy clans. Everyone responded to him and was taken out of the tent in a daze.

Most of the hundreds of soldiers who had originally surrounded the tent had dispersed at some point, and only dozens of people were left holding pine torches to illuminate them. Several servants were busy arranging seats in the open air. Two main seats were placed in the middle, and the lower seats were empty, which should be Fang Qinzhi's. The first one was already a middle-aged scholar who was beautiful and beautiful in the upper seats.

This man is even more an acquaintance of the representatives of the wealthy clan. He is the son-in-law of the former General of the Cavalry and the governor of Youzhou Wang Pengzu, and the famous scholar Zao Song Zao Taichan.

Zao family was a high-ranking clan in Yingchuan. Since his ancestor Zao Zhi, he has served as county magistrate for five consecutive generations. A high-ranking official above the Secretariat, Zao Song himself was also good at literature and had a very beautiful talent. Therefore, he was deeply loved by Wang Jun. Not only did he be his wife, but he also entrusted the important task of the shogunate. After Wang Jun died suddenly, his wife and son returned to Jinyang to maintain filial piety according to the usual practice, and Zao Song stayed in Youzhou as half of his son to stop the successor's affairs. After Lu Yao entered Youzhou as the general of Pingbei and the general of Youzhou military affairs, he was extremely generous to Wang Pengzu's private finance and land in Youzhou, so he was able to recruit Zao Song as the military office to consult with the military. Although he did not participate in the confidentiality, his status was only under Shao Xu.

Compared to Fang Qinzhi's smile, Zao Song's expression was much colder. He supported the table with his elbow and leaned against the couch, watching everyone coming, but he did not want to get up to greet him.

Zhu Shuo took water from the army and rinsed his mouth, barely suppressing the pain of his teeth. He and Zao Song had gathered themselves in the past, and were jealous in front of Wang Pengzu, and had a lot of conflicts. However, after all, he was a colleague, so he stepped forward and laughed: "When will Brother Taichan come here? We have not been able to meet you from afar. I am really disrespectful, disrespectful."

Zao Song glanced at Zhu Shuo and said expressionlessly: "I've been here long ago. But when I was away with Master Fang, I was listening to you all the children's rhymes in Jicheng. Zao was too late to cover his ears, so I was really ashamed to meet him."

Everyone was arguing fiercely just now, and some people used the nursery rhymes "Zhuobo in the mansion, and five pills into Zao Lang" to attack Zhu Shuo's investigation, but they did not expect to accidentally pull out Zao Song's old background. Zao Song recently joined the Pingbei Military Mansion, and his family knew that they were afraid that the intention of the Qianjinshi horse bones would be the main purpose, but they might not have much trust. While they were fighting for power carefully, someone mentioned his former corruption and abuse of power in front of the confidant of General Pingbei. Wouldn't he deliberately make a dilemma? No wonder Zao Song was very angry.

Everyone screamed in unison, but they didn't know how to explain it. The first young man who brought up the nursery rhyme gritted his teeth and bowed forward with a look of earth. He was about to say something to explain, but Zao Song reached out and stopped him: "Chief Fang, let's talk about it?"

Fang Qinzhi smiled and asked everyone to sit down separately, then took out a few blank orders with bright red seals from his arms: "I will not hide it from you. General Pingbei first established the military office, and the scale began, and hundreds of times were created. Although Zao joined the army to help..." He nodded to Zao Song and continued: "...After all, I am not familiar with the local situation. Those of us who are officials often feel trembling, fearing that they would be trusted by the court and feel ashamed of their trust in General Pingbei. Fortunately, when we convened the generals of the army, we came to watch the ceremony thanks to all the young men of Youzhou. This move shows your kindness. Fang here to express our gratitude to you on behalf of General Pingbei."

When Fang Qinzhi said this, he leaned forward slightly and bowed his head to greet him.

Who dared to sit and receive a gift from him? They stood up and thanked him, and after a long time of noise, they sat down again.

But Fang Qinzhi continued, "General Lu thought that you are all pillars who can be used to shoulder heavy responsibilities, and are also dedicated to the court and have a innocent heart. Therefore, there are still many senior officials in the military palace. The quota of the chief officials is missing, so I ask you to take over. This is not the special favor of the military government, but the need to pacify the local area and stabilize the common people. Please take the local hometown as yours and do not refuse. At this moment, the blank edict is in my hands. Just after you have clarified your duties, you will be announced and implemented."

After Fang Qinzhi finished speaking, no one answered the children of the wealthy clan for a while, and the situation was in a mess.

These people are indeed the core children of the wealthy families in various places. Fang Qinzhi called them "Youzhou Junyan's children" and deserved it. The important position of officials in the prefectures and counties is indeed very needed, and the position they can perform is enough to become the starting point for a brighter future in the future. But they all knew very well that they were waiting to come to watch the ceremony just to show a certain degree of kindness to the Pingbei Military Prefecture, but they did not expect to be in office immediately. Even if some of the people who are more optimistic about the Pingbei Military Prefecture's position in Youzhou and feel that some wealthy families are too aggressive in competing for the army with the military prefecture, they only plan to watch the military prefecture of the military prefecture, and then make a decision after returning home. Not to mention that there are also those who are determined to obstruct the military prefecture and intend to use this opportunity to incite Zhu Shuo and others from various families.

Everyone looked at each other and muttered softly for a while before someone stood up and said, "We are grateful for the beauty of General Pingbei. We are sincerely willing to run under the general's command to serve the work of a dog and horse. But we feel that our talents are shallow and may not bear the heavy responsibility of the military government... Why not wait for us to discuss with the clan and choose another capable person to come and take orders?"

Their refusal was expected by Fang Qinzhi. In the past few decades, the imperial court's control over the border has become increasingly weak, so that such local clans who are proud of their family and power are not particularly afraid of Fang Zhen's power. Sometimes they have some scrutiny and even bullying their lives, and are even reluctant to surrender to anyone easily. Fang Qinzhi was not angry and looked at Zao Song with a smile.

Zao Song snorted coldly at the right time: "Okay. You have a lot of words just now, and I need to report to the lord."

"this……"

Wang Pengzu has been governing Youzhou for many years and has always been harsh and violent. Whether the families present are helping the evildoers or taking advantage of the troubled waters, no one can tell how noble and honest they are. If anyone intends to collect the so-called "Jicheng nursery rhymes" that ridiculed corruption and abuse of power, he might be able to find hundreds of different versions. In addition, there is a capable official under Wang Pengzu, who is the most knowledgeable official of Zao Song and Zaotai. If the Pingbei Military Office intends to collect crimes, who can stop it? The sound of answering out of the list looked back at his companions during the banquet and suddenly felt that he was exhausted.

He heard Fang Qinzhi laugh and said, "It's okay, it's okay... This is a big thing, you need to think carefully. Don't worry, don't worry. It's too late today, so let's break up. It's not too late to talk again in a few days... Oh, by the way, the general who just entered the tent, surnamed Zhu, is the person in charge of the military camp's security these days. He is a little anxious and is one of the most trusted capable generals of the lord. Sometimes his behavior is a bit out of order, and no one dares to persuade him. You live in the military camp, but be careful not to violate the military law..."

Everyone was suddenly frightened. Tian Min's body was still spread in the camp behind him. Several Yan's Tian clan members were still sad and worried and didn't know what to do. Should he go and break the military law again? It's not that he is tired of living! Fang Qinzhi said these words, which was filled with an indescribable terrible charm.

After thinking about it, this new General Pingbei, the general of the military commander of Youzhou, Lu Daoming, is really a powerful figure:

Faced with the provocative behavior of local tyrants invading the imperial court's troops, he did not directly express his hostility, but should use the system of issuing land and acres to compete for the morale of the army. This is a polite one.

The newly built school ground was named after the word "Bird's Nest". Although its meaning is Fang diligent and flattering, it may not be his intention. He directly presented a blank order to the children of the aristocratic race who came here to watch the ceremony today, allowing him to choose his own positions... This is sincerity.

For some people who are stubborn and determined to fight against the military palace to the end, there are the guidance of Zao Song, the local snake, the elite soldiers and generals who left a deep impression on everyone during the day, and the ruthless force of Zhu Sheng shooting and killing the children of the famous clan in a disagreement... This is the most powerful threat!

Faced with such a situation, how should we choose? Should we flatly reject Lu Daoming's sincere grudge and completely break up with him; or...

Not long after, the young man who initially praised Lu Yao's ability to govern the army looked at others and stood up first: "Xian Yusi thanked General Pingbei for his kindness. Xian Yu's family has lived in the northern border for hundreds of years and is familiar with cities, mountains, rivers, geography and other matters. If he does not abandon his fortune, he will be willing to join the army of the Military City Bureau and serve for General Pingbei."

The Xianyu family was also a large family with high officials and high status in the northern borders in the past. Xianyusi took the lead, and then many children of the wealthy clans asked to serve in the Pingbei Military Palace one after another. Even two clans who were not good at clans and did not dare to be proficient, they also swear that they would discuss with the elderly in the clan and would urge the dispatch of capable children to serve. Among all, Zhu Shuo may have angered the military palace because of his previous act of fanning the flames, and he was unable to get an appointment in the end.
