After returning to the county government office, Guo Jia implemented the plan according to the agreed plan.

Wang Lei sent someone to invite the veterans to the hall, inquired about the specific situation of the gentry and businessmen in Wuji County, and then brought Dian Wei to visit them one by one. Wang Lei personally visited the door, giving the gentry and businessmen enough face. These people warmly received Wang Lei, and they were all talented. They all agreed to Wang Lei's request. After walking around, Wang Lei raised a thousand stones of grain, tens of thousands of dollars and a small amount of weapons.

For a huge county, it was a drop in the bucket, but it also relieved its thirst. When Wang Lei returned to the county government office, before he had time to rest, Xiaohao informed that the old man would invite him.

When he arrived at the old man's yard, Wang Lei sat down directly.

Mr. Du asked, "Go to the Zhen family to have a banquet? How is the situation?"

Wang Lei came up with what happened to the Zhen family and said viciously: "I just arrived in Wuji County and the Zhen family didn't take me seriously. In the final analysis, it was because I lacked strength. I have discussed with Fengxiao and prepared to suppress the Zhen family's arrogance."

The old man nodded and said, "It's not scary to have no strength. What's scary is that he doesn't have the heart of a strong man who overcomes all obstacles. The Zhen family is not convinced, so you start to suppress it. This is done very well."

"I see!"

Wang Lei talked to the old man for a while, then said goodbye and left.

The old man looked at Wang Lei's departure back and opened his mouth, but the words stopped when he said it.

...

The next day, the wine shop in the west of the city.

There were a lot of guests in the lobby, people coming and going, and it was very lively.

In the corner of the hall, a middle-aged man in a coarse gurban dress picked up a bowl of wine and drank it. His eyes were blurred and his face was flushed. He chatted with his friends while drinking. As he chatted, he pulled the county government office.

The man reached out and patted his chest and said loudly: "Brother, the old uncle of our county government got a news that the county magistrate had just caught two black thieves' sentry detectives. After interrogation, it turned out that the black thieves were eyeing each other and were preparing to attack Wuji County."

"Impossible. The Black Mountain bandits were just repelled by the county magistrate, why are they coming again?"

The other person shook his head and denied it, not believing it.

"What am I lie to you? Every time the Black Mountain bandits come to Wuji County, they will be greatly won. This time they are defeated by the county magistrate, the Black Mountain bandits will definitely not be willing to fail. It is normal to attack Wuji County again."

"It makes sense that the Black Mountain bandits are extremely vicious and will not give up."

"We are suffering in conjunction with each other, mainly because of the gentry and clan in the city, they are the targets of the Black Mountain bandits."

"In my opinion, the Zhen family is most likely to be affected."

"Every time the Black Mountain bandits come, the Zhen family pays for the Black Mountain bandits, which is for sure."

The two of them spoke, and the people around him gradually joined in and discussed together. The so-called three people became tigers. After being spread by countless people, a news quickly changed and became an upcoming fact. It involved the black thief, and the news spread more like a plague, with extremely fast speed.

The news spread in Wuji County, causing panic.

The people were hiding at home, while the gentry in Wuji County was more sensitive. They sent consecutive calls for information and found that the county government had indeed captured several black bandits' sentry detectives, which was even more nervous.

Who is the most worried about the Black Mountain bandits? It is undoubtedly the prominent gentry.

Similarly, the Zhen family also received news.

In the study, Zhen Yan and his staff sat opposite each other.

Zhen Yan looked worried and said, "The Black Mountain bandit is about to attack. What do you think?"

The staff replied: "It seems real and false, it is difficult to distinguish."

Zhen Yan frowned and asked, "What does it mean?"

The staff explained: "The Black Mountain Bandits besieged Wuji County yesterday. Although they were blocked by the county magistrate, after careful consideration, they can find that the Black Mountain Bandits can actually attack the county town, but they don't know why? No one knows the reason, but the Black Mountain Bandits suddenly withdrew, and it is still possible that they will suddenly kill them. But after the Black Mountain Bandits suddenly withdrew, they may encounter important things and will not come back for a short time. It is precisely because of this that it is difficult to distinguish."

Zhen Yan took a deep breath and expressed his opinion, "Yesterday, Wang Lei invited to the banquet. Wang Lei asked the Zhen family for support. I rejected Wang Lei's request. I was worried that the news might be the county magistrate's actions against the Zhen family. Such a thing happened before."

The staff sighed: "The head of the family, the people do not fight with the officials, and you argue with the county magistrate. This is not good at first. Especially when you dig the corners of the county magistrate, isn't this intentional stimulation of the county magistrate?"

Zhen Yan snorted, "Wang Lei's heart is too thick-faced, and he will need hundreds of thousands of dollars to open his mouth, thousands of stones of grain and a hundred sets of steel knives. This is a lion's mouth, otherwise how could I stimulate him?"

The staff member thought for a while and said, "Suppose the news of the Black Mountain bandits siege the city was spread by the county magistrate, what should the head of the family do?"

"expose!"

Zhen Yan said without hesitation.

The staff member shook his head and said, "The head of the family is pushing the Zhen family into a desperate situation!"

Zhen Yan said: "Strange words!"

The staff member chuckled and said, "The county magistrate has just taken office and has no strength for the time being, but he is the head of a county after all. If the county magistrate investigates the Zhen family from time to time and checks the goods sold by the Zhen family, it can easily cause some trouble for the Zhen family. Even the county magistrate can use various things to delay the Zhen family and cause trouble for the Zhen family. In short, your quarrel with the county magistrate will only make the other businesses in Wuji County secretly excited and make the fisherman profit."

After a pause, the staff continued: "Suppose the news of the Black Mountain bandit siege was rumored to be heard, then the county magistrate's intention was to force the Zhen family to surrender, and let the other businesses raise money to raise money, etc. If you expose it, you will force the county magistrate to the dead corner. After getting angry, Wang Lei really cooperated with the Black Mountain bandit to cooperate inside and outside, what will the head of the family plan to do?"

"It's impossible."

Zhen Yan swallowed, worried about such a situation.

The staff member said again: "The head of the family and the county magistrate had a brief contact. What kind of person do you think this is?"

Zhen Yan said angrily: "I am insatiable, my face is thick and my heart is so shameless."

The staff continued: "That's right. It's already like this at a young age, and the future will be immeasurable. An official like Wang Lei has no scruples in his work and can use tricks. You are very unaware of his evil deeds. As the saying goes, it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain. A gentleman has rules and regulations, but a villain is difficult to deal with. The head of the family, I wish to say bluntly, please let go of your contempt for the age of the county magistrate and treat it as a real old fox. Without the intention of contempt, the head of the family should know what to do?"

The staff's words touched Zhen Yan's weakness.

After all, Zhen Yan was because Wang Lei was young and energetic, thinking that you, who had no hair, was arrogant in front of me, and was a little tender. If Wang Lei was in his early thirties, Zhen Yan would not be what he is now.

Zhen Yan sighed lightly and said, "Well, I'll come to the door to apologize in person."

The staff member said: "For the head of the family, and for the Zhen family."

Zhen Yan waved his hand to let the staff go down. He sat alone in the study, his face gloomy and gloomy. It made him bow to a boy who was still stinky, which made Zhen Yan feel unacceptable.

Now that things have come, he has to go.

As the staff said, once things cannot be controlled, the Zhen family will be in danger.
