"Lord, even if Zhou Prime Minister wants to do this county lieutenant, will the court accept it?" In the county government, the chief clerk who came to send the prime minister's office to summon the news roared, and Qiu Chi looked at Ye Zhao with some embarrassment.

Although the commander of a county is not as important as in the border areas, it is also the second only to the prefect. It is different from the military and political separation of Youzhou. In a peaceful area like the Central Plains, the army is completely obeying politics. Therefore, the value of this commander is not even as valuable as Ye Zhao's cavalry commander when he was in Macheng.

Not to mention that Ye Zhao was the magistrate of Wuhuan for several months later. He could almost be said to have a real official position in the military affairs of a state. Other people's officials were getting bigger and bigger, but Ye Zhao's official position was floating and deeper. This position of the magistrate in the Central Plains is really not as good as that of a Suiyang County Magistrate. Even the magistrate of Suiyang County, Ye Zhao's county guards and private soldiers could be mobilized by Ye Zhao may not be much worse than that of the magistrate.

This result made Qiu Chi and others a little anxious.

"Military power must be held in our hands, at least nominal military power must be held in our hands." Ye Zhao shook his head. Chaos was coming. Once the world was in chaos, the position of civil and military personnel would be lost. Looking at the people with resentment, Ye Zhao smiled and said, "The court's official documents have not been issued yet. This is just Zhou Jing's verbal promise, so wait."

He didn't plan to order this explosive barrel of Taiping Sect. Zhou Jing was willing to ask for it, so why not give it to him?

The following days were relatively calm for Ye Zhao. Although they had formed a relationship with Liang Zi of the Taiping Sect, as Liang Fa was thrown to Zhou Jing, nothing major happened in the county government for a month.

As the end of the year approaches, gentry from Suiyang City is constantly coming to give gifts, and Ye Zhao is also paying back one by one.

Ye Zhao did not go there again. Although Qian Mo did not say it clearly that day, Ye Zhao understood what it meant inside. Before Ye Zhao made a convincing achievement, Qian Mo would not come out to help him. Otherwise, with Qian Mo's ability and relationship with the Xun family in Yingchuan, if he really wanted to become an official, his current achievements might not be lower than him.

Simply put, although Ye Zhao has potential in Qian Mo's eyes, he is still not a wise master, let alone expect others to spend their lives on him. As for what to be considered a wise master, Ye Zhao had some guesses in his mind, and it was not the time yet.

"Lord, big things are not good!" On this day, Ye Zhao was processing the file, preparing to sort out the situation in Suiyang for a year, and then presented it to the court, but saw Qiu Chi hurriedly coming in from outside the door and said anxiously.

"What happened so panic?" Ye Zhao put down the bamboo paper in his hand and looked at Qiu Chi in confusion.

"The team sent by the Prime Minister's Office to escort prisoners was robbed." Qiu Chi said.

"Who is the escorted?" Ye Zhao frowned.

"Liang Fa, and that Ma An."

"Let me tell me the details." Ye Zhao raised his eyebrows.

"Here!" Qiu Chi took a deep breath: "During this period, the Prime Minister's Office has tortured Liang's words and deeds. He heard that a lot of things were questioned and he was preparing to hand Liang Fa and Ma An over the court. Unexpectedly, the team escorting prisoners was besieged by a large number of thieves except in Suiyang. Ma An was killed on the spot, and Liang Fa was also rescued."

"Let's leave?" Although Ye Zhao's tone was puzzled, he did not show too many unexpected expressions on his face. He just frowned and said, "What does this have to do with me?"

He had long been cleared of this matter, so he did not pay attention to this matter anymore. For this period of time, he has been working hard to cultivate people's livelihood, and at the same time secretly compressing the living space of Taiping Cult in Suiyang. At least, he must ensure that Suiyang will not be affected too much when the Taiping Cult rebellion. As for Liang Fa's incident, Ye Zhao had expected it, so it was not surprising.

This is an important figure in Taiping Cult in Yuzhou. Taiping Cult will never allow Liang Fa to be sent to the court.

"The Prime Minister's Office has just sent official documents. Because this happened on the Suiyang border, I ordered us to find the culprit as soon as possible." Qiu Chi said with a wry smile.

"..." Ye Zhao said helplessly: "Since it was done by the bandits, we should find the commander, what does it have to do with me?"

"The county magistrate has been killed in battle, so Zhou Xiang sent an order to let the lord take the post of the chief magistrate temporarily, be responsible for suppressing bandits and recovering Liang Fa." Qiu Chi said with a wry smile.

"Ha~" Ye Zhao could only sneer when he heard this.

"This is a document." Qiu Chi handed a bamboo note to Ye Zhao and said, "Lord, what should we do now?"

"Since the order has been issued, we must naturally obey it." Ye Zhao frowned and said, "Can we know who the thief who cut Liang Fa?"

"How can I know?" Qiu Chi smiled bitterly and shook his head, "There are few thieves in the Liang Kingdom area, but now so many people suddenly emerge. Even the soldiers of Liang Kingdom County have been dispersed. Not to mention fighting, it is probably not easy to find them."

"It seems that this Academic Commander is not easy to be." Ye Zhao thought for a while and said, "Zhang Yue."

"At." Zhang Yue appeared silently next to Ye Zhao.

"I asked you to secretly monitor the Li family cloth shop, will you gain something?" Ye Zhao asked.

Since the Li family cloth shop is the connection between Ma An and Ma Yuanyi, this Li family cloth shop must be an important connection between Taiping Cult.

"Yes, there is a secret passage in the Li family's cloth shop that can lead directly to the outside of the city. In addition, the Li family's cloth shop should be a place to help people sell stolen goods. Over the past period of time, several batches of jewelry and jade have been sold, but the jade is unknown. It is believed that someone sent it in through the secret passage." Zhang Yue nodded and said, "It's just that no evidence was found."

"The evidence is not needed. In extraordinary times, extraordinary things should be done!" Ye Zhao stood up and said loudly: "I passed on my order, ordering Jiang Sheng and Wang Xing to lead the county guards to seize the Li family cloth village in the name of hiding criminals. All the people in the village were imprisoned and no one was allowed to be let go. He ordered Fang Yue to go to the Suiyang schoolyard to get some troops from the Liang State Commander, and post a notice tomorrow that the Taiping Cult is inconsistent with the public and the plot is indiscriminate. In Suiyang, all Taiping Cult members, Taiping Cultists, who voluntarily leave the Taiping Cult can forgive him for his sins, and those who resist or shelter him will be punished for the same crime!"
