The first poisonous scholar in Daxia, starting from the abdication of the prime minister

"In that case, you will handle this matter!"

The two were siblings, so the village chief gave this important task to his younger brother without hesitation, and then asked, "When do you plan to leave?"

"We need to prepare in the next few days. As soon as their official ship sets off, I will lead my men down the mountain to ambush them!"

"it is good!"

The village chief nodded and then warned, "Be careful when you go out. Your own safety is the most important thing! Also, send more people to investigate these days, just in case!"

"Okay sister, I will definitely bring the brothers back safely!"

……

In the following days, both sides made intensive preparations.

Ever since the news got out, Gu Jingzhi has been pretending to be a corrupt official and acting like he is not doing his job all day long.

But in fact, only a few people know that he has not been idle during this period, but is formulating the entire plan for Ningzhou!

After suppressing the bandits, he would hold a meeting with the county magistrates of the four counties in Ningzhou. Without some knowledge, how could Ningzhou be developed?

After a few days of hard work, everything is ready!

This day is also the day when all the county magistrates come to Ningzhou!

Ningzhou Ferry.

Chen Baonian looked quite worried.

A few days ago, the imperial guards went to Fufeng County with the imperial envoy's order. Later he learned that the imperial envoy, who was appointed by His Majesty as the Northwest Tour Guide, was also in charge of Ningzhou Prefecture.

Then he was told some things. Although it was just a pretense, he was not sure whether the imperial envoy was using this as an excuse to ask for bribes.

He is just a county magistrate, an eighth-rank official. What good things can such a small official give?

What was left from his salary this year... was only a few dozen taels of silver, how could he possibly give it away?

He suffered a lot in Fufeng this year. Although he had his good friend Gu Jingzhi to help him, Fufeng's foundation was too poor. He could only use his method to ensure that no one would starve to death this year!

Without the help of his good friend's grandfather, he would not be able to carry out his work.

Now the court has sent an imperial envoy to Ningzhou, who is the immediate superior in charge of the government affairs of Ningzhou. If I cannot leave a good impression in front of my superior this time, will I have to stay in Fufeng for the rest of my life?

Come to think of it, my friends are living a better life!

He helped Daxia regain six prefectures with just his mouth, and now he has been promoted to such an important position as Shaoqing of Dali Temple, a fourth-rank official. How many people can never reach this height in their entire lives?

The boat slowly approached the shore. Chen Baonian came out of the cabin, only to find that the county magistrates of three other counties had also arrived at the same time.

When the four of them met, they were all stunned.

"Master Chen!"

"Master Jin!"

"Master Wu!"

"Lord Guan!"

Ningzhou governed four counties: Jin Yongnian, the magistrate of Lingnan County; Guan Meng, the magistrate of Gan County; Wu Qi, the magistrate of Lan'an County; and Chen Baonian, the magistrate of Fufeng County.

The four of them looked at each other, especially the other three who looked at Chen Baonian and said, "Master Chen, wouldn't it be faster to travel by land from Fufeng County to the prefectural capital? Why are you taking the water route?"

"This was arranged by the Imperial Envoy!"

Chen Baonian felt helpless.

The four of them had met once before the spring plowing last year, and then they rarely got together. Now it is spring plowing again, and a new superior has taken office, so they met again!

The four of them boarded the ferry and watched the soldiers of the imperial guard carrying their belongings off the boat. Chen Baonian was a little confused: "My Lords? Are all these you..."

He wanted to ask if it was a gift prepared by the magistrates of the other three counties for the new superior.

But when he saw that the other people also looked confused, he immediately knew... their new superior must have made other arrangements.

As they were speculating, a soldier suddenly stepped forward and said, "My lords, please stay behind the team for a while. Be sure to pay attention to your safety!"

"???"

The four county magistrates were suddenly confused!

Stay safe? What does that mean?

The four were about to ask when they suddenly heard shouts and cries of killing not far away. They raised their eyes and saw a large group of people rushing towards them with swords in hand.

"Brothers, rob all these corrupt officials!"

The leader was the second leader of Lianyun Village. He was riding a horse, holding a spear in his hand, and rushing towards the ferry.

When Chen Baonian and the other three saw this, their faces changed drastically!

Bandits...

But why are there still bandits here?

Before they could think about it, the soldier who had just reminded them shouted, "Brothers, form a formation to resist the enemy!"

"Wow..."

The three hundred soldiers immediately drew their swords in unison, formed a formation at an extremely fast speed, and rushed towards the bandits from Lianyun Village.

Seeing the bandits approaching, the soldier shouted, "Archers..."

"quack……"

The two hundred men in the back row raised their bows and arrows and shot upwards into the sky. With a single command, two hundred arrows simultaneously streaked across the sky...

"what……"

Suddenly, there were continuous screams from the bandits not far away, and the face of the second leader of Lianyun Village changed.

Isn't this just an ordinary escort mission?

Why are you still carrying a bow and arrow?

Although the bandits in their stronghold also wore armor, they had been wearing it for more than ten years and could not protect against bows and arrows at all.

As arrows continued to be shot, the second leader suddenly realized that these people seemed to have been prepared for it.

and so……

Did I fall into a trap?

Almost instantly, he tightened the reins and shouted, "The enemy is ambushing, brothers, retreat quickly!"

What?

After hearing the second leader's order, the bandits were all stunned.

Is there an ambush?

All the bandits stopped in a hurry and looked at their second-in-command. The second-in-command shouted, "What are you all standing there for? The enemy is ambushing us. Why don't you run?"

As he said this, he turned his horse around.

However, at this moment, two groups of people suddenly rushed towards this side from the front. Without exception, they were all cavalry.

"Second, Second Chief, it's the soldiers! The soldiers are coming!"

For a time, the bandit camp was in chaos.

"What are you panicking about? What are you panicking about?"

The second leader yelled angrily, "Everyone follow me, let's charge out!"

The second leader roared and finally calmed the group of bandits.

However, Gu Jingzhi's imperial guards had also arrived, and Lin Feng, holding a spear, rushed into the enemy camp first!

……

Ningzhou Prefecture.

Gu Jingzhi held the teacup and watched Wu Xiang walking back and forth in the government office leisurely.

Wu Xiang felt helpless!

My boss is so unsportsmanlike. He never even mentioned such a big thing as suppressing bandits to me. Now the arrow is on the string, but the army has already gone out.

Although he has no right to supervise Gu Jingzhi, this matter has a far-reaching impact.

If anything goes wrong in suppressing the bandits, then Ningzhou Prefecture will...

"Master Wu, you look a little uneasy?"

Gu Jingzhi held a cup of tea and looked at Wu Xiang with interest. Wu Xiang smiled bitterly and said, "My Lord, this bandit suppression is no ordinary matter. If..."

"Ugh……"

"Ha ha!"

Gu Jingzhi smiled and said, "Now that the army has left, I'm sure there will be news soon. Lord Wu, please be patient. Take this opportunity to talk about the bandit problem in Ningzhou."
