Guan Wei could see the trick at a glance and said with a wry smile: "Your Highness, why bother?"

Zhao Yuanzuo laughed and said, "I am the most unique one in our family's Song Dynasty. This time I will give you a unique treatment. I really want to see how wonderful the officials in Yichuan County looked at this imperial edict."

Guan Wei was very helpless, but he still accepted Zhao Yuanzuo's kindness. Since he had received the imperial edict in Liu Neiquan, he would leave Bianjing within three days.

So Guan Wei and Zhao Yuanzuo and others gathered for a few days, and they also met Yang Yanzhao and Cao Wei. Everyone talked about Guan Wei catching thieves in the Yang family, and they all applauded and praised each other.

Guan Wei waved his hand and said, "Don't be polite, everyone. Speaking of which, this kid has been sent to Kaifeng Prefecture. Your Highness is the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture, so you have to deal with him well."

Zhao Yuanzuo nodded and said, "Let me tell Zhang Quhua and let him deal with this little thief well."

Guan Wei and others could only pay silence for Lin Zhu. With a word from the Crown Prince, you can only admit that you are unlucky.

After two days of gathering, Guan Wei packed up and brought a few clothes. The bag contained the imperial edicts, and 500 guan of money were tied under the saddle. He was carrying a Park knife, carrying a bow and arrows on his back and said goodbye to Zhao Yuanzuo and others.

"Zizheng, when I settled in the new city, I will definitely send someone a letter. I will ask for advice from time to time if I have doubts."

Guan Wei said to Zhao Yuanzuo: "Don't worry, your highness, I will write a letter to your highness as soon as I settle down. Zhang Quhua and Chen Zai are both old ministers in the court, and I have no idea what kind of experience they have. Your highness still asks them for advice.

There are also Brother Yang and Brother Cao, who are the best among young people. I hope you can also assist His Highness more.

And no matter what difficulties your Highness encounters, think about our agreement in Hedong first, and think twice before acting!”

"Okay! I have written it down, Zizheng also needs to take care of himself all the way!"

"Don't worry, we will definitely assist Your Highness!" Yang Yanzhao and Cao Wei who came to see him off also agreed.

After a few days of reunion, several people became good friends. When they heard that Guan Wei was leaving, they all went out of the city to see Guan Wei off.

"Okay! We'll have a date later!" Guan Wei flew on the horse, clasped his fists at everyone, and then walked away. Zhao Yuanzuo looked around from afar, and could not see any figures. Then he returned to the city next time he persuaded Yang Yanzhao and Cao Wei.

Guan Wei traveled and stayed overnight all the way, usually only rested in the inn and did not encounter anything. He arrived in Yichuan County in about ten days.

Yichuan County belongs to a border county, but it is just a central county. It has just passed the war and is in a state of chaos. Zhao Yuanzuo found out about the news about Yichuan County for him. Of course, the Ministry of Personnel only has information about the county magistrate Niu Quanzhong.

Niu Quanzhong was a Jinshi during the Taiping Xingguo period. After 10 years of promotion, he became a magistrate of the eighth rank (the magistrate of the upper and middle and lower counties of the Song Dynasty was the eighth rank).

This person is now 42 years old. He is a standard scholar. He is honest and upright as an official, but he is relatively brave and can be said to be a little cowardly.

Only Zhao Yuanzuo, the official in the county, could not be found, and there was no record of these Ministry of Personnel.

Guan Wei came to the outside of the county town by horses. When he arrived here, he frowned. The city of Yichuan County was dilapidated and the city walls were only two meters high. The road was rugged, and Guan Wei had seen several cars broken on the road.

How can such a broken city stop the Liao Dynasty's army? Yichuan County is on the front line of the battle between Song and Liao, and the Liao army is coming, the first thing that the Liao Dynasty wants to encounter is Xiongzhou, and Yichuan County is the forefront of Xiongzhou.

There is also this road, which is the main road in a county, and it is like this. You can imagine what the situation will be for other roads?

"Hmph!" Guan Wei was very dissatisfied with Niu Quanzhong's inaction and also a little slandered about the court's arrangements. This is a key border defense area. Not to mention sending a tiger or a wolf, even a dog is good. Why is it a pig to guard here?

Guan Wei thought so in his heart, and urged his horse to enter Yichuan County. The city was filled with low brick and tile houses, and the people around him looked lazy and unimpressed.

Guan Wei slapped his horse, stepped on the sludge, and then rushed directly to the county government.

The gate of the county government office is already a bit dilapidated, and the walls are mottled, so there is no majestic appearance.

Guan Wei kept urging his horse to the gate of the county government, then turned over and jumped down. He carried the horse on his body, tied the horse, and strided to the front of the county government, clasped his fists and said, "One or the other, I am a messenger from Bian Jing, and I asked to see the magistrate and the minister of the county government to report to each other."

"Bianjing?" The two soap officials were shocked. They quickly stood up and clasped their fists at Guan Wei and said, "Master, please wait, I'll go in and report." As they said that, the two ran in quickly.

These two guys will be their colleagues in the future. There are three yamen runners in the county yamen, which are divided into three types: soap, fast and force. Quick means constables, the supervisor catches thieves and maintains public order. Soap and force are similar, soap and force are on duty, fast and force, the fast and force are in charge of arrest, the strong and force are poor, and they are responsible for internal staff, standing in the hall, execution, guards, and roadside.

The Song Dynasty was a dynasty with few officials and many officials. One county was a county magistrate, county magistrate, chief clerk, county magistrate, county magistrate, county magistrate, county magistrate, and county magistrate. In addition, some middle and Xia Counties were all in a position, they were not fully qualified. However, the average number of officials in a county was more than 100. This did not include some temporary soldiers such as local soldiers.

Guan Wei waited at the door for not long, and a few people came out. The leader was in his 40s wearing a blue official uniform, and two people were fat and thinner next to him.

"Who is the messenger from Bianjing?"

Guan Wei quickly stepped forward as soon as he saw this: "See the villain Guan Wei."

Niu Quanzhong looked at the young and somewhat distorted young man in front of him and said, "I don't know if the messenger has any official documents to pass on to the officials."

Guan Wei handed over his identity certificate and imperial edict without saying a word and said, "My husband, this is a villain's imperial edict, please accept it."

"Uh~" Niu Quanzhong was stunned. He had only been a county magistrate for one year and had two years left after his term? Why did he suddenly want to change people?

Thinking of this, Niu Quanzhong took the imperial edict tremblingly and looked carefully. After a glance, his eyes widened suddenly, and then he took Guan Wei's fish bag, which introduced his hometown, appearance, height, identity and other information in detail.

"Or it is true? Why would the Ministry of Personnel issue such an imperial edict?" Niu Quanzhong calmed down slightly and said in a heart-warming manner: "Niu An, take Lord Guan to the class room to rest. Changzhuan, County Magistrate Kang, come with me, let's discuss how to deal with this matter."

Niu Quanzhong was so confused that he didn't care about talking to Guan Wei, and hurried back and discussing with his two subordinates.

Niu An agreed to take Guan Wei to the class room and served tea. Guan Wei took out about one or two pieces of broken silver and gave it to Liu An and said, "Niu Tou, wait a moment, I am new to tell me what the situation in the county is like?"

"You are kind to you, please, if you have anything to ask, just say it."

"Niu Tou is also surnamed Niu. Does it have anything to do with the county magistrate's husband?"

"That's right, I am my husband's nephew. My husband Yichuan County took office, but I took me alone."

"That's great. I'm just about to hear about the situation in the county. I'll introduce it to me if I'm so tired!"

"Although Yichuan County is not big and has not many people, it is not a good place to go. It is located in the border area, and people do not accept education and produce unruly people. A kind person like our master is difficult to make progress here. Moreover, the two deputy chief clerks Chang Zheng and county magistrate Kang Ming, one is greedy for money and the other is valuing power. They are both locals here and often fight against the master."

It can be heard that Niu An is very resentful about the work of Yichuan County, especially the chief clerk and the county magistrate.

"The county magistrate is the official of the court. I don't think they dare to resist casually, right?"

"What's the use of this? The master is a kind person and is most afraid of things that hurt the people. This is just a greedy person and is determined to use his position to do his own business. There is no direct conflict. But Kang Ming is different.

Kang Ming is from the Kang family in Yichuan County. The Kang family is the local snake here. The largest family force is the dominant force in the county. The three yamen runners and local soldiers here are all in their hands. Anyone who dares to disobey will be attacked immediately."

"Didn't my husband ask Xiang Jun for help?"

"Why didn't I find it? But the Kang family is the largest family in Yichuan County. If it is suppressed and ruthless, it is easy to cause riots, so no one dares to touch them. Alas, to be honest, I, the soap official, are not easy to be a good person! My subordinates are all from other people, and they can only do some jobs to serve the master, and they can't control anything else."

Guan Wei nodded slightly after hearing this. It seemed that the first person he wanted to touch when he came to Yichuan County was the county lieutenant. The third yamen runners were in charge of the county lieutenant. He wanted to pry away one squad away, and he probably wouldn't be happy.

It's okay! Let me see if you are the local snake, or me, the Jianglong! Guan Wei's heart was filled with fighting spirit.

Niu Quanzhong and his men are also worried about Guan Wei’s arrangements. What is this guy’s origin? How could he ask the Ministry of Personnel to give him such an imperial edict?

A deputy magistrate of the ninth rank, who is accompanying Rong, is he going to be a constable? To be honest, he is the eighth rank, and the chief clerk and the county rank are both from the ninth rank. We can accept it even if you add a county rank.

But no matter what? The fourth official in Yichuan County appeared!

"Mr. Kang, this is an imperial edict from the Ministry of Personnel. Please make him a captain. You can arrange it!" Niu Quanzhong was still happy to see this situation and handed over the matter to Kang Ming.
Chapter completed!
