Chapter 193 Putting the cart before the horse, jumping over the wall in a hurry
After sending Ding Zhi out, Zhao Yan took advantage of his meal time to inspect the file warehouse, and specifically repeated the order of the guards not to let anyone get close.
After a lot of work, at around nine o'clock in the evening, everyone was finally settled.
Zhao Yan came here in a hurry and did not bring a maid to serve him, so he asked the old woman in the city lord's mansion to boil hot water.
After washing up, I went straight to bed.
The heavy official duties and heavy pressure directly offset her joy when she first arrived in Feng'an City to serve as the city lord.
She will have to deal with a lot of people tomorrow, and there may be important matters, so she needs to stay in good condition.
At 5:30 in the morning of the second day, Zhao Family Martial Arts School.
Huang An and his group of eighteen people had already gotten up. The lights in the kitchen were brightly lit. Liu Zi and the others had gotten up before four o'clock in the morning to prepare breakfast.
After the eighteen people practiced martial arts, they hurriedly filled their stomachs, rode out from the side door of the martial arts hall, and headed straight to the city lord's mansion.
There were few pedestrians on the road, and Huang An and his group were traveling very fast.
When passing by the market, he planned to visit Xiao Wu's drug store. He said hello, but it was obvious that the drug store was not open, so he gave up.
At about 6:30 in the morning, we entered the city lord's mansion directly.
At the main entrance outside the mansion, many people gathered, all dressed in beautiful clothes, including silk and silk.
Huang An's eyes flashed and he guessed their identities.
However, he ignored these people, instead bypassing the crowd and leading his brothers in through the side door of the City Lord's Mansion.
There were also some people waiting at the side door, looking anxious.
It's just that the number of people is very small, only three or five people.
They want to enter the city lord's palace, and their purpose is easy to guess.
However, Zhao Yan has strictly ordered that no one except Huang An's team can enter the mansion for the time being.
This news spread around the city lord's palace in a very short period of time, and all the officials and big shots from the aristocratic families who had woken up early in the morning became anxious and became ants on the hot pot.
The ominous premonition in their hearts became stronger and stronger.
And this is what Huang An and Zhao Yan like to hear and see.
If you want to achieve your goal, you need to start with a psychological offensive, followed closely by a physical offensive, which can get twice the result with half the effort.
It was already very bright now, and even if there was no oil lamp, it would not delay the people in the house from doing their work.
In the entire city lord's mansion, including the people from the three hundred households, there are now more than 400 people. They have also gotten up and are all busy.
It looks like he just woke up not long ago.
Huang An quickly found Zhao Yan who arranged for people to sort out the files.
However, Huang An also discovered a very unexpected person, Luo Feiyao, who was watching the show with his arms folded.
She was really watching the show, she was really just folding her arms and leaning half of her body on the pillar, looking at Zhao Yan's arrangements with boredom.
Huang An looked at Luo Feiyao with a very strange look.
This girl doesn't sleep or work so early in the morning, but just goes to the theater?
Could it be that he was born with a hard life?
It seemed that the meaning in his eyes was too much, making Luo Feiyao feel a little uncomfortable.
"I'll just take a look. Just treat me as a transparent person!"
Luo Feiyao said something, turned her head slightly and looked at the crescent moon in the distance, deliberately not looking at the two of them.
Huang An and Zhao Yan were both confused. Is this man sick?
Although they didn't understand her intention, the two of them could still tell that Luo Feiyao was determined to follow them.
Could it be that they want to keep an eye on us and prevent us from leaving Feng'an City and getting in touch with Kong Zheng from the Martial Arts Department?
Huang An and Zhao Yan could only make such guesses.
It's true that her behavior all along has been so strange that Huang An and Zhao Yan couldn't even think about it.
If Luo Feiyao knew what Huang An and Zhao Yan were thinking at this time, his mentality would probably collapse.
The reason why she suddenly changed her mind and stayed in Feng'an City instead of going back to Youzhou was entirely because of Huang An's influence.
She was stimulated by what Huang An did in Xialin Village.
That different and efficient style of doing things deeply shocked her.
She wanted to follow Huang An to see how capable and capable he was.
By the way, learn something from Huang An.
Seeing Luo Feiyao take the initiative to transform into a transparent person, Zhao Yan and Huang An stopped taking care of her and let her go.
Zhao Yan is very busy. When she first came to the City Lord's Mansion, she was not familiar with the people at hand. She was greatly restricted in terms of employment, and she had to consider and arrange everything by herself.
Before Huang An brought his brothers into the city lord's palace, he was in a hurry.
Fortunately, Huang An helped, otherwise he would never have gotten on track so quickly.
In addition to arranging normal official duties, even the preparation of meals requires her to personally arrange manpower.
Huang An's arrival at this time made her breathe a sigh of relief.
After the two met, Huang An took over a large part of the work.
On the road yesterday, Zhao Yan had already told all his soldiers that Huang An's orders were her orders.
No one is allowed to make trouble or violate the rules, otherwise she will punish them severely.
On the way, the three heads of households and the general flag officers who were in the Bronze Skin Realm were reluctant in every way, but they could only hold their noses and recognize it.
They convinced themselves easily.
No matter who you work with, you are destined to be a slave. It's not like you haven't been commanded by people with connections like Huang An before. At least Huang An can keep them full, right?
They can only comfort themselves in this way.
However, along the way, more than a hundred miles of mountain road, they gradually came to understand Huang An's character, and gradually accepted the fact that they had to be commanded by Huang An from the bottom of their hearts.
Thinking about it carefully, from the time he landed in Dilin Village to the 120-mile mountain road walk, Huang An did not put on airs in front of them or boss them around, but instead treated them with great respect.
Coupled with Master Zhao Yan's order and Huang An's own identity issues, they were willing to be driven by Huang An this morning.
"Yan Long, take the two brothers to the kitchen and keep an eye on it. There can be no problems with the food. Let the brothers eat and drink well!"
While Huang An gave instructions, he winked at Yan Long.
The meaning is self-evident, keep an eye on it and don't let anyone do anything wrong.
In the next two days, several officials in the city lord's palace and big families in the city will be attacked. If someone jumps over the wall and bribes someone to tamper with the food, it will be difficult to deal with it.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After all, this kind of thing is too normal. The fact that these servants can enter the city lord's palace shows that their wealth will not be so innocent.
Without a certain background, he couldn't even get a job as an official in the city lord's mansion.
This matter must be guarded against.
Then, Huang An turned his attention to Liu Yun of Baihu who was standing on one side and ordered:
"Master Liu, how about asking your brothers to help out? We can also eat and feel at ease."
Liu Yun's eyes flashed, knowing that Huang An was giving him face and asked for his opinion beforehand.
If Huang An had been tougher and given an order, he could bypass him directly, and his subordinates would have no choice but to obey orders and follow Huang An's steward Yan Long.
His eyes glanced to the side slightly, and he saw his immediate boss, Mr. Zhao Yan, looking at him sideways.
Suddenly my whole body was excited, and I immediately smiled back:
"Master Huang, please wait a moment, I will make arrangements right now."
After speaking, he looked around and whispered to the flag officer behind him.
Although the voice is small, who among the people present is not a warrior?
"Pick a few exciting ones, take them with you personally, and follow them to the kitchen to help!"
The chief flag officer nodded and waved to Yan Long and the other three, and the four of them left quickly and headed straight for the kitchen.
This chief flag officer turned out to be a bronze-skin realm warrior.
I have to say that it is good to have enough manpower.
Yang Zongqi and Yan Long quickly trotted towards the kitchen. On the way, among the teams gathered in corridors and roads in the house, waiting for orders, twelve people were picked out and selected to help in the kitchen.
.
This chief flag officer is a warrior in the bronze-skin realm, because he has no connections behind the scenes and doesn't have the money to curry favor with his superiors or clear the way for him.
That's why even after his cultivation reached the copper-skin realm, he still stayed in Youzhou and still couldn't get into the position of Baihu.
Not to mention being directly assigned to a small county town like Ding Zhi, where he can comfortably work as a steward, or be given the title of county magistrate or county lieutenant.
If he has connections in Youzhou or money, then he can completely replace the position of Baihu official who died in battle or is vacant after his cultivation breakthrough.
If he has connections in other major states, he can also use this to transfer away from Youzhou and go to other inner states to become an official of hundreds of households, or get other official positions.
It's a pity that he has nothing except his own martial arts cultivation and some small military achievements.
However, such a veteran can still be relied on, because he has been around long enough and has seen more darkness.
He clearly knows what a dangerous situation Feng'an City is now.
I also clearly understand how heavy the responsibility is on my shoulders and how high the risks are.
If food can always be kept normal and no problems occur, then he has made a contribution. Although the reward will not be big, he can get some credit for his contribution.
But if something went wrong, it would be serious. Not to mention himself, even his boss Baihu Liu Yun would be implicated.
On the way here, many brothers gathered together and discussed it during the break.
He also knew the real purpose of Lord Zhao Dun in sending so many of them to Feng'an City.
That is to carry out a crippling or even extermination attack on the aristocratic families in the city.
This is a fat man. A little something leaks out from Mr. Zhao's fingers, which is enough for them to eat.
Likewise, this is an excellent opportunity to become a direct force of the Firearms Department.
Because when I came to Feng'an City this time, I was actually doing private work for my immediate boss.
Therefore, when General Yang was selecting candidates, he raised his vigilance to the extreme.
He was afraid of something happening.
He is mentally prepared for all kinds of dirty tricks that may appear in the future.
These aristocratic families in Feng'an City have cultivated Feng'an for generations, and their influence spreads throughout Feng'an City. Everyone inside and outside the city lord's palace must be their people.
If you are severely offended, you will definitely jump over the wall and resort to all kinds of dirty tricks.
Poisoning food is a simple and effective method that must be avoided.
Huang An asked Yan Long to take his two brothers to watch in the kitchen in person, also because he was worried about this.
Although Yan Long's cultivation level is not at the copper-skin level, he is as meticulous as a hair, and a warrior's insight and five senses are far beyond those of ordinary people. With him watching, Huang An can rest assured.
After all, the poison that can poison the six-organ realm and the copper-skin realm will definitely not work in small amounts.
With the copper-skin realm warriors personally watching over you, you want to sneak a large dose of poison underground?
hehe.
This is a big flaw.
This can be considered a kind of insurance.
Yan Long left, Huang An turned his attention to Zhao Yan, and then said:
"Find all the account books in the city lord's palace for the past ten years, as well as all the case files of the past three years, etc., and move them to that room. Put them into categories by year and send people to guard them. I will be of great use.
!”
While speaking, he pointed his finger at the small courtyard outside the independent courtyard in the not far corner.
When Zhao Yan heard this, he was stunned for a moment and frowned:
"There are so many account books. If we check them, we may not be able to find them out within a month or two. Moreover, there must be some manipulation in them. We may not be able to find out for a while."
She expressed her concerns.
She knew that her junior brother was good at calculating and checking accounts. After all, when he was in Xialin Village, he had also seen the account books written by Huang An "personally".
Although she couldn't quite understand it, she still understood part of the unique recording method in the account book and the super convenient calculation rules between those strange characters.
However, there are so many account books and files within ten years that they can fill up half a room.
The junior brother seems to be putting the cart before the horse by doing this. They don't have that much time.
Even Luo Feiyao, who was watching the show, looked at Huang An with doubts in his eyes.
Why use such a stupid method?
She had some doubts about whether the shocking changes in Xialin Village were caused by Huang An himself.
