"The Liu family is willing to use all the industries of Dai County to exchange for the understanding of the prefect."

When Liu Bao, the county magistrate, saw his official official, he was not talking about official affairs, but about private matters, and he knew what he wanted to do as soon as he spoke.

"After years of development, the Liu family has not had the same foundation as the Zheng family, but their industries in the county territories are not much inferior to theirs. Many fields outside the city have been purchased, and there are even more tenant farmers who depend on it."

Liu Bao's words were sincere and pleading. After he described the Chen family's industry, he said bluntly: "I know that the prefect has a lofty ambitions. Whether it is Wu Ding or the equipment that can attract Tianhuo, it is not cheap. It requires a large amount of land, industry, or even population. Our Liu family is willing to contribute these to request that you not pursue Liu Fu's fault."

Chen Zhi narrowed his eyes, looked at Liu Bao in front of him, nodded without concealing his head, and said, "I do need these, but as far as I know, the Liu family has not reached an agreement on how to deal with it. Your opinion may not represent the Liu family."

At this time, he did not hide what he wanted, and no one forced him to do what Liu Fu did. Although Chen Zhi's original intention was not good for the aristocratic family, he also had the idea of ​​cooperation. As a result, Liu Fu wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of siege and use the power of the Liu family to make Chen Zhi doom. In this way, just punishing one person would not serve as a warning, and of course the Liu family behind him could not let him go.

However, Chen Zhi's words shocked Liu Bao, and he immediately realized that Chen Zhi must have many informants within the Liu family, otherwise he would not have said the most critical point in just one sentence.

However, he quickly suppressed all kinds of thoughts and said bluntly: "For this matter, my subordinates will handle the matter properly. At most, there will be a result!" He said word by word, his voice gradually increased, showing a firm will. "After the incident, I will also resign from my official position, take my family back to my ancestral land, and then strictly restrain my clan members. I will never let the prefect have any worries."

After saying this, he looked at Chen Zhi worriedly, waiting for the other party's response.

In fact, what Liu Bao was most worried about was that Chen Zhi felt that the Liu family was vengeful and killed them all!

At that time, even if Liu Kui was the prefect of Poyang, even if he was the governor, he would probably be unable to stop it. After all, Wang Jun was the governor of two states and was defeated by Chen Zhi one after another. The Liu family's foundation was under Chen Zhi's rule. How can he avoid it?

After a brief silence, when Liu Bao's heart had begun to sink, Chen Zhi finally nodded.

Liu Bao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Zhi said again: "No matter what the Liu family has in mind this time, whether they bet on both sides, or have other preparations, they have touched my bottom line. He, Liu Fu, joined forces with outsiders, wanted to subvert Dai County. If it succeeds, no one can be safe from me. The Liu family will let it go, and there are even many people following him. If it is not severely punished, who can convince me?"

Hearing this, Liu Bao's heart couldn't help but lift it up again and looked at Chen Zhi with a gaze.

"So, the Liu family must hand over a few people related to Liu Fu."

Chen Zhi said this, which made Liu Bao, who was opposite, breathed a sigh of relief again, but his entire back was soaked in cold sweat, but he still nodded in a hurry, for fear that Chen Zhi would say something again.

"In addition," Chen Zhi was unwilling to end it, "You don't need to resign."

This decision surprised Liu Bao.

Chen Zhi said bluntly: "You are competent as a county magistrate, and there is no need to leave. Besides, if you make such a decision on behalf of the Liu family, if you lose the title of county magistrate, it will definitely be difficult for you to live in the family in the future. Therefore, if you continue to work in the yamen, as long as you do your best, you will definitely not be criticized."

"I... I understand. Thank you for being magnanimous."

Liu Bao said, but his heart was extremely complicated.

As a member of the Liu family, even if he wants to cut off his arm's arm now, it is definitely a scam to say that he does not feel sorry for those industries and the land, because as the county magistrate of the Dai County, he has many industries located here. If he handed over them together, it would be like a destruction of many years of business. It would also be a serious injury to the vitality and would end up in the family.

Just as Chen Zhi said, the Liu family did not dare to blame Chen Zhi in the end, and it is very likely that they would vent their anger on Liu Bao, saying that his group was ripped off, at that time, in addition to the losses in wealth, Liu Bao's group would face in addition to the loss of wealth, but also face the overall lack of voice in the family. Become a sinner in the family, and eventually it is likely to be in a slump.

Originally, Liu Bao was mentally prepared to sacrifice his future for the family. As a result, Chen Zhi's words made him see hope again.

If he can maintain his original position, it will undoubtedly be like Chen Zhi's support. Then his group will not only not sink into the family, but will even become the backbone of the family during Chen Zhi's administration!

But the cost of doing this is also very high, which means becoming a vassal of Chen Zhi and a spokesperson in the Liu family. In order to maintain the situation, when facing a conflict of interests between Chen Zhi and the family, they must sacrifice the interests of the family to ensure Chen Zhi's support.

However, Liu Bao had no room for choice, so he could only agree, because he could not stimulate Chen Zhi at this moment, because it was related to the survival of the family.

What's more, Liu Bao also has selfish intentions and is unwilling to just quit the stage.

"Forget it, when the industry in this county is taken out, what else can my Liu family be left? It will inevitably return to a weak family. Even if Liu Kui is outside the prefect, it will be useless, because Liu Kui may not be able to be promoted. Only when the Liu family is poor and weak and without threat can they survive under the prefect's nose. How big is the difference between whoever is in power and who loses power in such a family?"

After figuring this out, Liu Bao had to nod and respond, and then said goodbye.

Then Chen Zi walked in. Before he could stand firm, he said first: "The Liu family will definitely be seriously injured this time. Even if they don't say it, they will definitely have resentment in their hearts. After all, Liu Bao will be the Liu family. If there is anything he thinks about, it will affect the whole situation."

"Yes," Chen Zhi nodded, "Of course, this matter is done thoroughly and ultimately, but even if the Liu family is suppressed, I still have to be careful. It is better to keep someone in front of me, so as to make it easier to grasp and understand the situation. What's more, the Dai County family was suppressed by me, and the Zheng family and the Liu family were in decline, but the disciples were still there, and it will take some time to completely decline. This kind of family is the best tool for some people to use..."

Chen Zi was stunned: "What do you mean?"

"Now, the entire Dai County is controlled by me. It is difficult to achieve rapid results with strong attacks. Choosing a family as an internal supporter and cooperation is undoubtedly the ideal goal. Do you think that at this time, is the Zheng family and the Liu family a good choice? Then, trying to control the people of these two families will definitely have miraculous results."

Chen Zi pondered for a moment and couldn't help but nod.

At this time, someone finally came to report that it was Bao Jingyan's carriage that had already entered the city.

"Okay, let me go and welcome Mr. Bao." Chen Zhi stood up, greeted Chen Zi first, and then sent an order to let all the officials in the city come forward to welcome Bao Jingyan, "He has suffered a lot of grievances this time, but he has not lost his position as a county, and he has also made contributions."

Chen Zi nodded, followed Chen Zhi, and suddenly said, "Does the prefect have any plans for the rewards of the Yang brothers? These two people have made military achievements now, so they must be rewarded with great rewards."

"Of course, but this county magistrate's office is the court's law and orders. It is hard to reward and punish me. I should fight for the title of General of the North. All related matters are in the memorials of the victory. It will probably be almost at the capital."

While talking, everyone gathered and arrived at the east gate of the city, and happened to see the carriage entering the city.

Next comes the process.

The entire city became more and more lively and full of prosperity, replacing the caution that had been surviving after the disaster.

"This Dai County must have a development in the future. But I didn't expect that the two large army attacks this time, and the troops were trapped in Dai County were lifted so quickly, and even our servants were not used."

Among the people welcoming, Zhang Jingsheng and others were among them, and the whole city was watching, and they couldn't help but sigh.

Wang Kuai smiled bitterly and said, "It's ridiculous that we were always worried at first that when the servants of our family arrived, they would be forced to requisition by Chen Zhi. Therefore, they were preparing for the response, but they were worried about it."

"No need to say that, who can explain the military affairs clearly? There will always be ever-changing changes. The key is what we will do next?" Luo Yang looked open-minded, "When will we get this Tongdian? You can't stay here all the time, right?"

"This is hard to say." Lu Jian shook his head and chuckled, "A letter from home is sent to me again. This time, it was not blocked by Dai County. It fell directly into my hands. It was very clear that I asked me to continue to stay and finally purchase the property to facilitate the settlement. It also helps the family and Taishou Chen. I believe you will get news soon."

As soon as these words were said, everyone couldn't help but sigh, as if they felt deeply the same.

The king said: "I have another news, saying that the court really could give Chen Taishou a name and let him gradually take over Youzhou."

Zhang Jingsheng's expression changed slightly: "If this is the case, then the situation will be complicated! That country may become the center of the vortex, which is particularly dangerous, but it depends on what the court means."

After he finished speaking, a voice suddenly came from behind

"The more dangerous the place, the safer it is. The more vortex the place, the more it can push people upward. This is the way of yin and yang. Why should you worry about some gentlemen?"
