Zhen Yan had a bitter face and looked bitter, "Sir, the Zhen family is not a money-making company, so how can they have so much money? If you don't be a family, you don't know how expensive it is. The Zhen family still has such a big family to support, and they spend countless money every day, which is not a small amount."

With a sigh, Zhen Yan seemed to be in a very difficult situation.

Wang Lei snorted coldly and said in a deep voice: "The head of Zhen's family is said lightly. If the official could not stop Zhang Yan today, the Black Mountain bandits entered the city to rob, according to Zhang Yan's request, he would want one million yuan, one thousand sets of armor, one thousand steel knives, and countless food. Faced with the Black Mountain bandits' strength, the head of the family might have to take it out to avoid greater losses."

Zhen Yan shook his head and said, "Sir, you are wrong. The Zhen family will definitely fight to the end."

Wang Lei said: "It is not the first time that the Black Mountain bandits attacked Wuji County. The Zhen family can stand firm. They have to fight to the end every time. I am afraid that it will be another scene." After a pause, Wang Lei continued: "The Black Mountain bandits returned without success and will come next time. When the Black Mountain bandits appear, I don't want to accept the support of the head of the Zhen family, but lead troops to fight. The same thing, once, but not twice. At that time, it will definitely be a tough battle with real swords and guns."

Zhen Yan's expression changed and his expression became solemn.

Guo Jia took a glass of wine and breathed a sigh of relief, persuading: "Head of Zhen, the Lord serves as the county magistrate of Wuji County. His duty is to protect the country and safeguard the public security of the people. When encountering problems, the Lord will naturally bear the support of the Zhen family, but if the Lord wants to take on the task, he must also need the support of the Zhen family so that the Lord can form a powerful force to defend Wuji County."

One sings the red face and the other sings the white face, which made Zhen Yan difficult to deal with.

Dian Wei interrupted and shouted: "A man is a real man, mother-in-law and mother, he is not a man."

Zhen Yan glanced at Dian Wei, had a plan, and said with a smile: "Sir, this hero has just arrived in Wuji County today. I believe his subordinates will be under his command. If he is willing to transfer this person to the Zhen family and serve the Zhen family, Zhen Yan will respond to his request."

In a word, Wang Lei changed color suddenly.

Dian Wei reached out to touch the big iron halberd on his back, but saw Guo Jia shook his head gently.

This is the matter between Wang Lei and Zhen Yan, just watch.

Of course, Guo Jia still had a thought to see how Wang Lei would deal with it. Dian Wei was not Wang Lei's slave or retainer, but a person of freedom. Dian Wei was unwilling, Zhen Yan could not force it, and Wang Lei could not force it.

Zhen Yan continued: "If the county magistrate agrees, I can immediately mobilize food, weapons, etc.."

Wang Lei suddenly laughed and his anger disappeared.

At this moment, Wang Lei became more and more calm and said in a deep voice: "The Zhen family's advice is good, so it is okay to let Dian Wei protect the Zhen family. But there is a prerequisite. The Zhen family fully supports the official, and the money and food required by the county government are all responsible for the Zhen family. All the servants and guards recruited by the Zhen family are transferred to the county government to accept Dian Wei's leadership. When protection is needed, Dian Wei will naturally bring people there."

Dian Wei chuckled and said to himself, this is so poisonous!

Guo Jia nodded and praised Wang Lei's response.

In fact, Zhen Yan's heart was already filled with anger. He was entertaining Wang Lei with great wine and food, but it did not mean that the Zhen family was afraid of Wang Lei. Don't forget that the Zhen family was not only a powerful person in Wuji County, but also a powerful person in Zhongshan Country.

Zhen Yan thought for a while and said with a smile: "Mr. Wang was joking!"

In the end, Zhen Yan chose to compromise. After all, Wang Lei is the county magistrate and the parents of Wuji County. It is said that county magistrates are worse than to take charge of it now. The Zhen family also needs Wang Lei to be stationed in Wuji County and cannot make the relationship stagnant, otherwise the Zhen family will suffer the final loss.

Wang Lei smiled and replied: "The Master Zhen is really good at joking, haha!"

It seemed that the unhappiness just now did not happen.

Wang Lei took a bite of the dish and stood up and said, "The head of Zhen is really unwilling to support him, so Wang Lei will not force him. After drinking wine and eating meat, Wang Lei said goodbye. I just hope that the Zhen family can be carried forward under the leadership of the head of Zhen."

He swayed his sleeves and walked out.

Guo Jia and Dian Wei followed behind and strode outside.

Zhen Yan sat in the hall with a gloomy face.

This newly appointed county magistrate is too arrogant and his actions are infuriating.

Seeing Wang Lei, Dian Wei and Guo Jia left without hesitation, Zhen Yan hesitated, but after Wang Lei and others left, he still did not come forward to dissuade him. He wanted to obtain Wang Lei's support, but did not want Wang Lei to be arrogant, so he was ready to suppress Wang Lei's arrogance and let Wang Lei know who is the local tyrant.

Wang Lei and his group left the Zhen family and returned in a carriage.

In the carriage, Wang Lei looked at Guo Jia and said slowly: "Fengxiao, it seems that we are not worth enough. Otherwise, how could a small Zhen Yan refuse our request?"

Guo Jia nodded and said, "Sir, we are really struggling without food and weapons support."

Wang Lei said: "Without the Zhen family, we can still hold on."

Guo Jia smiled bitterly and said, "If you don't talk about it, just talk about what you are about to encounter. The three hundred guards of the Zhen family belong to us, but we don't have food, how can we continue to support it?"

Wang Lei thought carefully and said angrily: "I don't believe that living people can be suffocated to death. Zhen Yan is arrogant. I must let Zhen Yan ask for a visit by himself. After returning to the county government, I found the veterans of the county government and confirmed the big merchants in Wuji County. I went to visit in person as the county magistrate, so that the merchants would support some food, grass, and money. I think that more than one person wants to see the Zhen family fall."

Guo Jia smiled lightly and said, "It's actually not difficult to get Zhen Yan to come to his house."

"Speak quickly, speak quickly."

Wang Lei's eyes lit up, full of expectations.

He was the county magistrate of Wuji County, but he was looked down upon by Zhen Yan and felt quite unhappy.

Guo Jia slowly said, after hearing this, Wang Lei said skeptically: "With filial piety, the plan is good, but what if Zhen Yan doesn't play according to common sense? After all, we have learned Zhen Yan's style of behavior once, and it will be unpleasant to do it again."

Guo Jia's eyes flashed coldly and he said in a deep voice: "If Zhen Yan does not cooperate, the adults will have another trump card in their hands. Adopting the strategy of trying to get a skin to the tiger will completely take down the Zhen family. A businessman's house is not worth worrying."

Wang Lei widened his eyes, and an incredible look appeared in his eyes.

Obviously, he understood the meaning of seeking a skin with a tiger.

Guo Jia took a deep breath and said lightly: "The specific choice depends on the adult's thoughts. Guo Jia is just a counselor around him. He can only give advice for him. Whether he adopts it depends on his courage."

He seemed to be calm, but in fact he was quite nervous.

At least, Guo Jia hopes to meet someone who can succeed.

Wang Lei said without any hesitation: "I am not a good person, nor a law-abiding person. Why not adopt good strategies? We are outside and don't use some tricks, so it's better to go home and have children early. We have just arrived in Wuji County. We are not familiar with the place and have no prestige, so many people are dissatisfied. The best way to establish our authority in the Zhen family is, and I hope the Zhen family will not disappoint me."

"Done!"

A decisive voice came from the carriage.
