That night, the Fuyang County Magistrate carefully entertained Wang Junlin, a peerless villain, at his residence. The Fuyang County Magistrate led the county officials and several minor nobles to accompany the guests. Based on the fear in his heart and his intention to please, the wine and food were very sumptuous, and the dishes were as good as every other.
There are more than fifty kinds of food, and the dancers in the hall are the most beautiful and the best dancers selected from brothels in the county and the homes of several officials and nobles. And Nie Xiaoyu dressed up as Nie Xiaoyu brought by Wang Junlin
Yu, Liu Ziming, and Li Xuanba are also there.
As the night got darker, Fuyang County officials and maidservants filed in with food boxes and distributed food to everyone. Female musicians also played the piano and sheng, singing and dancing.
Wang Junlin had not just come to this world a long time ago, so he was full of misunderstandings and discomfort. In the past few years, he had visited the mansions of countless high-ranking officials in Yongzhou and Daxing City, and had toasts at the same table with emperors, princes, and heads of powerful families.
In the eyes of the county officials and minor nobles, his behavior naturally revealed an inexplicable nobility. Coupled with Wang Junlin's illustrious reputation, this nobility contained enough majesty.
And everyone's attention and minds are on Wang Junlin. Every word he says, everyone will rush to agree and laugh with him. Even every strange change in his expression will make Fuyang County officials and nobles tremble with fear, and Wang Junlin
Although Jun Lin came for Du Ruhui, he did not deliberately look at Du Ruhui, nor did he say a word to him.
At this time, there was a sound of running outside, and Shan Xiongxin strode in, handed a scroll to Wang Junlin, and said loudly: "Sir, Fanyang County is reporting urgently. Thousands of pirates have landed on the beach, attacked Haiping County, and burned it.
After killing and looting, they divided into several groups and moved around. Ying Yanglang led Xue Li to suppress the bandits everywhere, but with little effect."
Wang Junlin's face suddenly turned gloomy, and a faint chill enveloped the entire hall.
In the hall, when the Fuyang County officials and minor nobles saw this, they suddenly became panicked. Some of them thought of the legendary Wang Junlin's bloodthirsty, and couldn't help but feel fear. It was almost winter, and although it was a bit chilly outside, it was still cold at this time.
The copper stoves in the four corners of the hall were burning brightly and were as warm as spring, but the look on Wang Junlin's face still made everyone in Fuyang County feel a biting cold.
Before Qin Angong took office, something like this happened in his jurisdiction, and anyone else would be in a very bad mood.
"Sir, would you like to speed up your trip and go to Fanyang County as soon as possible!" Liu Ziming said urgently.
"This is natural, but I heard that Xue Li knows military affairs well and should be able to control the situation until I arrive."
When Wang Junlin said this, the gloom on his face had disappeared. He looked confident and indifferent, and even had a bit of a smile. This made the Fuyang County officials and minor nobles feel a little relieved, but they were still not satisfied.
Dare to speak more.
"It's almost winter now, how could these pirates..." Liu Ziming was talking, he glanced at Wang Junlin, his heart moved, and he said, "Maybe my subordinates are overthinking it."
Wang Junlin smiled and nodded without saying anything, thinking of Fan Yanglu's family.
More than ten people sat around the hall, but they were silent. Only Wang Junlin was in a calm mood. He took a sip of tea and sighed leisurely: "Fuyang County is less than four hundred miles away from Fanyang County, and it is not very far from the Bohai Sea.
, you must have heard a lot about pirates, so I don’t know what you think about the fact that so many pirates gathered ashore to plunder this time.”
Everyone in Fuyang County looked at each other, and no one dared to speak for a while. Wang Junlin said again: "Fanyang County has eight counties: Zhuoxian County, Gu'an County, Fanyang County, Changxiang County, Fangcheng County, Rongcheng County, Qiuxian County, and Haiping County.
, do you think the pirates were divided into several groups after the robbery in Haiping County, where should the main force go?"
"It's Fangcheng County!" Others were still thinking. Du Ruhui, who was a little enthusiastic after being provoked by Liu Ziming's experience in the afternoon, already responded, "After the main force of pirates dispersed in Haiping County, the first step should be Fangcheng County!"
"Oh! Tell me why the main force of pirates went to Fangcheng County?" Wang Junlin thought to himself that Liu Ziming was indeed right. Du Ruhui had been in this county captain position for too long. He had long wanted to spread his wings and fly high, but unfortunately he didn't have the chance. Now,
Give him a chance yourself. If he really has the wings to fly high, he will not be silent.
"As far as Xianguan knows, Fangcheng County is the location of the largest seaport in Fanyang County, and once Fangcheng County is occupied, it will be able to cut off the connection between the county and the three southeastern counties of Fanyang County. If the main force of pirates did not go to Fangcheng County
, if you go elsewhere, there is still the danger of being cut off by Fan Yangjun."
The movements of pirates are easy to guess and can be seen at a glance on the sand table. However, there are no maps and sand tables now. If you want to make a judgment, you have to rely on daily accumulation and extraordinary mental and logical abilities, and you need to be in the military.
I have a pretty good understanding of geography.
Wang Junlin sighed in his heart, anyone who can be a prime minister in history is not simple. Fang Qiao and Xu Jingzong have proved this, and now Du Ruhui is also the same.
"Are you Du Ruhui, the captain of Fuyang County?" Wang Junlin pretended to confirm further, as if he had just noticed the existence of such a person.
But it is only normal for Wang Junlin to say this. When Wang Junlin was at the city gate, the county magistrate and more than ten officials from Fuyang County who greeted Wang Junlin at the city gate all reported their homes. Under normal circumstances, Wang Junlin would be everywhere.
record.
Du Ruhui stood up and replied respectfully: "The lower official Du Ruhui is now the captain of Fuyang County."
"How many years have you served as county captain?" Wang Junlin asked casually.
Du Ruhui's eyes suddenly flashed with shame and annoyance. People who are promoted slowly, or who work in the same position for seven or eight years, or even more than ten years, are common in officialdom, but in front of everyone
, was asked by the legendary Qin Angong, but it was still very hurtful. However, Du Ruhui could always keep a calm face and said: "Xiaguan has been in Fuyang County for eight years."
"Eight years." Sure enough, it was too long. No wonder this man resigned in the end and waited for his master to appear before running to seek refuge. With this thought in his mind, Wang Junlin suddenly asked: "What should we do?"
When Du Ruhui heard the words, he was stunned for a moment, then he became energetic and his eyes flashed. He was obviously very happy in his heart, but his face remained calm. Wang Junlin was staring at him, and he suddenly had a high opinion of Du Ruhui at this time.
After a certain amount of time, he was able to hide his emotions and anger in his heart without showing his expression. With his character of the city, he was truly worthy of being the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty who will be remembered throughout the ages.
"The official thinks that pirates are roaming around and are difficult to annihilate in a short time. However, if a large army can be sent to destroy the pirate ships, or if this news is spread, the pirates can be reunited, and then the army can encircle and annihilate them."
"What if the pirates take precautions in advance and move the ship away from the coast, wait for the pirates to bring the stolen property to the shore, and then dock to pick up the people?"
"As far as I know, Fanyang County has a navy that can be sent to deal with pirate ships. It should be able to achieve the same effect."
"The sea is vast and boundless. If pirates hide their ships somewhere, the navy may not be able to find them in a short time."
"...It's not necessary to find the pirate ship. On the one hand, you can spread the news. On the other hand, you can find someone to pretend to be a pirate and fight with the navy at sea. It's enough to be known by the pirate spies staying on the coast."
Du Ruhui answered each question fluently, and he could answer every question with just a moment's thought. This made Wang Junlin very satisfied, thinking that his visit to Fuyang County was not in vain this time.
