The next morning, Wang Lei and his group turned around and headed towards Julu County.

Nanhe County and Julu County were not far apart. In one day, Wang Lei and his group had already arrived in Julu County. The carriage stopped outside the city, but the old man got off the carriage and walked into the county town alone. Wang Lei planned to be with the old man, but was sternly rejected by the old man. The old man's strange behavior made Wang Lei even more confused about what the old man was.

One hour later, the old man returned from the city.

He returned to the carriage without saying a word. Wang Lei did not ask questions and asked Xiaohao to drive north. From Julu County to north, pass by Pingxiang County, Ren County, and then arrive at Yangshi County, and finally enter Xiaquyang County, the northernmost part of Julu County.

Further north, it is within the territory of Zhongshan Kingdom.

Wang Lei and his group left Julu County and soon entered Wuji County, Zhongshan Kingdom.

By this time, it was already mid-July.

The new county magistrate arrived and the news soon came back to Wuji County.

When Wang Lei and his group arrived at the county town, the soldiers from the county government greeted him outside the city.

At the gate of the city, two carriages drove towards him. When the carriage stopped, Wang Lei lifted up the curtain of the carriage and walked out. He looked up and saw the team greeting at the gate of the city, his mouth twitched and his eyes were strange. Because the soldiers who came to greet him were old and young, and there was no decent person. Apart from that, none of the county officials saw it.

When Wang Lei encountered such a situation, he felt a slump in his heart. Could it be that he was giving him a warning?

Wang Lei suppressed his surprise and asked, "Who is the person in charge?"

"Report to my lord, I am a humble position!"

A small, thin and short man walked over to the age of fifty years old, sick and listless.

Wang Lei endured his dissatisfaction and asked, "Where are the other officials and soldiers in the county government?"

The old man replied: "Report to the Lord, recently the news that the Black Mountain bandits were about to attack Wuji County. The officials of the county government received the news and all fled with money. The few soldiers in the county government also dispersed, leaving only us."

Wang Lei's face changed drastically and his mood became even heavier.

I thought it was a warning, but I didn't expect that I encountered a mess.

"Lead the way and go back to the county government!"

Wang Lei sighed helplessly and asked the old man to lead the way back to the county government.

When he returned to the county government, Wang Lei was in a deep mood.

The entire county government is empty, and all the valuable things have been sold. There is no money in the treasury. Guo Yu, Queen Guo, Uncle Fu and Xiaohao are busy in the backyard, cleaning the backyard and preparing to eat.

After lunch, Wang Lei, Du Ji and Guo Jia discussed matters in the study.

Wang Lei looked serious and said in a deep voice: "The situation in Wuji County is more difficult than imagined. There are black mountain bandits staring at them outside and countless worries inside. The situation is not optimistic!"

Guo Jia looked relaxed and chuckled, "It's interesting in my opinion. If you take over a complete Wuji County and there is no danger, what else can you do? Only such things can be challenging."

Wang Lei rolled his eyes and said that the problem was that there were too many problems in the county government.

Du Ji thought carefully and said slowly: "When entering the city, the veterans of the county government said that the officials and soldiers of the county government were dispersed, which is a big problem. The county government must be operated to ensure that Wuji County recovers. I think the most urgent task is to solve the big and small matters of the county government and sort out all the matters of the county government. The county magistrate has five officials under his command, including the thief Cao, the subordinates, Gongcao, the chief clerk, and the chief clerk, but now there is no one, so I will take on it for the time being."

Wang Lei nodded and said, "I am not familiar with internal affairs, so I can only temporarily give up Brother Bo Hou to serve as the other party. When encountering things to be handled, I will be in a hurry to follow the power of things. There is no need to report them, just arrange them directly."

"As for your order!" Du Ji nodded and responded.

Wang Lei changed his subject and said, "Brother Bohou dealt with the internal affairs of Wuji County, and Fengxiao and I were able to solve the external troubles of Wuji County. According to the veterans, the Black Mountain bandits may attack the county town of Wuji County in recent days, and there are no soldiers, no weapons, and even food and grass in the city. How can this be solved?"

Guo Jia smiled lightly and said, "Sir, this is actually not a difficult task. There is a Zhen clan in Wuji County. The Zhen family has a wealthy family and has countless money. The county magistrate went directly to visit the head of the Zhen clan and borrowed soldiers, money, and grain from the Zhen family. I thought the Zhen family would not refuse."

"Dong!Dong!"

Outside the room, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in!"

The door opened, and the veteran ran in and said, "Sir, it's not good. The Black Mountain bandits are coming to Wuji County."

"What?"

Wang Lei exclaimed and stood up with a serious expression.

The Black Mountain bandits came too fast.

Wang Lei made a quick decision and ordered: "Fengxiao, the matter is urgent. You organize the soldiers in the city to close the gates of the four sides and delay time with the attacking Black Mountain bandits. I immediately go to the Zhen family to borrow troops. Although it is in danger, it is the best opportunity to borrow troops."

Guo Jia nodded with a chuckle and said, "Please rest assured, Guo Jia will definitely live up to his mission."

Du Ji looked at the two of them with confidence and shook his head in his heart.

The Black Mountain bandits were stormingly killing Wuji County, and there must be a large number of people. Even if they borrowed troops from Zhen, they would hit stones with eggs. However, this was not a question he considered. He was good at internal affairs and only needed to be responsible for the affairs in the city.

The three of them had their own affairs, and Guo Jia and the veteran left the county government and went straight to the city gate.

Wang Lei left the county government with a black golden snake spear and headed towards the Zhen family. He came to the gate of the Zhen family as fast as possible and knocked on the door. Soon, a servant poked his head out and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

The attendant was so scared that he shivered when he saw the black golden snake spear in Wang Lei's hand.

Wang Lei looked serious and said, "Please inform the head of the Zhen family that Wang Lei, the magistrate of Wuji County, came to visit."

“Yes, yes!”

The attendant hurried to inform him that it was not long, and Zhen Yan, the head of the Zhen family, walked over. Zhen Yan saw Wang Lei carrying a two-meter-long black golden snake spear, and his heart burst out, but there was no expression on his face. He said with a smile: "The county magistrate is here to visit, what's the important thing?"

Wang Lei said straight to the point: "The leader of the Zhen family, the bandits of the Black Mountain have come, and Wuji County is in danger. But I just took office, and my soldiers had no weapons and could not meet the enemy, so I borrowed a hundred young and strong guards from Mr. Zhen and followed me out of the city to meet the enemy."

Zhen Yan looked disbelief and shook his head and said, "The Black Mountain bandits can't stop the city!"

Wang Lei snorted and said disdainfully: "The Black Mountain Bandits are just native chickens and tiles, and it is not worth mentioning. I came to borrow a hundred young and strong soldiers from the head of the Zhen family, and I just used their strong momentum and did not intend to fight against the Black Mountain Ze. The Zhen family is the richest man in Wuji County, with a huge family capital. If the Black Mountain Bandits break the city, the Zhen family will definitely spend countless money to make the Black Mountain Bandits leave. The Zhen family gives me a hundred young and strong. Once the Black Mountain Bandits are defeated, the Zhen family will avoid this disaster. This is a business without any money. Why not give it a try?"

Zhen Yan thought carefully and nodded, "Okay, I believe the county magistrate once."

Immediately, Zhen Yan ordered someone to transfer the guards from the mansion.

Zhen Yan was a person who was generous in his work. He didn't pinch the number of people, but directly gave Wang Lei three hundred people, and gave Wang Lei a good horse. Wang Lei rode a horse and headed straight to the city gate with the borrowed three hundred people.
Chapter completed!
