Being an emperor is not something he can do, so he can only rely on his connections.

The meeting lasted for two full hours. The military token was the key to entering the camp, and beautiful women and fine wine were the means to get Han Ye drunk.

In fact, after analysis, it is very easy to kill the alcoholic and lustful Han Ye, but if you want to completely eradicate his roots, you must capture the accountant.

According to the information provided by Yifeiyu, it will arrive in the near future.

Zhang Jingwei looked out the window and saw the dying Gaoyang County Yamen officials.

He couldn't help but worry, "There's another problem now, the Gaoyang County Magistrate. If my predictions are correct, he'll definitely send someone to Jia Village today."

Biao Heizi patted his chest and said, "They are just a few yamen officials. I can scare them to death by showing my axe."

The captain, who was familiar with the officialdom, said angrily, "The reason this county magistrate is amassing so much wealth is because his three-year term is almost up. These local officials are all as bad as dogs!"

At this time, a flag officer pushed the door open and walked in.

"Master, a group of officials are approaching Jia Village in a carriage!"

Zhang Jingwei frowned and spat, "Tsk, how come you're here as soon as you said you would?"

"Everyone, get your weapons ready. Let's hide and see what they're going to do." Zhang Jingwei made a quick decision. After obeying the order, everyone quickly found a place to hide.

After a while, a group of people came into the village in a mighty procession.

"Why are there so many horses here?"

In the carriage, I saw a man who looked like a legal advisor, stroking his beard and looking at the horse temporarily tied at the entrance of the village.

Seeing the villagers gathered, he cleared his throat and said, "By order of the Gaoyang County Magistrate, all villagers of Jia Village are to go to Lin County to open up wasteland from now on. You must set off within three days, without any delay!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the villagers protested.

Zhang Jingwei stepped out of the crowd and demanded, "Excuse me, sir, what is the meaning of this? We are living well here, why are we going to Lin County?"

The lawyer sneered, "This is the order of the county lord, just follow it. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

Zhang Jingwei was furious. "I see, we're not going to Lin County, we're clearly going to the limestone kiln! We won't leave Jia Village!"

Seeing this, the master's face changed. "You dare to disobey orders? Come, arrest these troublemakers!"

At this moment, Yi Feiyu jumped and pulled the master off the carriage.

Yi Feiyu smiled wickedly: "Master, how are you?"

The master was shocked and took a long time to come back to his senses. He said, "Master Yi! Why are you here?"

Yi Feiyu said sincerely, "I have received orders from the captain to recruit people for forced labor!"

The lawyer clapped his hands and said, "Isn't this a coincidence? I am here to recruit people by order of the county magistrate!"

Yi Feiyu politely evaded the question, "All the men here have been conscripted, so Master, you may return empty-handed."

"No, no, the general wants males, and the county magistrate's order is that everyone, regardless of gender, age or status, must perform labor service! There is no conflict." Everyone present was shocked when this statement was uttered.

Zhang Jingwei was also shocked. He was not shocked that the whole village had to perform labor service, but he was shocked that this lawyer could say such words so calmly.

"You... did a great job!" Zhang Jingwei turned and left, patting Yi Feiyu on the shoulder.

Yi Feiyu gave a look to several officers under his command, and then drew the steel knife from his waist.

He looked at the Gaoyang County legal advisor and the police officials with a wicked smile.

"We have been ordered to recruit laborers, but without men, it would be difficult to complete the task! Your Excellency is only fifty years old, so you should respond to the call. I advise you not to act rashly and endure unnecessary hardship!"

The master was terrified: "What do you want to do? Are you planning a rebellion?"

The officers were also quick and agile, quickly controlling the advisor and the others.

The master who was under control was still talking nonsense, so Biao Heizi took out a towel and stuffed it directly into his mouth.

This scarf is used to wrap hair when wearing armor. The smell...

As expected, the lawyer burst into tears and dared not move.

Jia Renyi then brought out the jailers who were guarding his own courtyard, tied them up, and beat them until their faces were bruised and swollen. They hadn't been given any food or water for the entire day, and they were all on the verge of death.

After they were all tied up, Zhang Jingwei put on his clothes and had a folding fan in his hand.

Zhang Jingwei asked Jia Renyi about the "beauty".

"Uncle Jia, is Xiao Cui ready?"

Jia Renyi looked displeased. He pointed towards Xiao Cui and Sanlang's room and went back to his own room.

At this time, she heard a noise, but she didn't dare to go out to check, and sat on the bed anxiously.

Until there was a knock on the door.

"Sister-in-law Xiao Cui, it's me, Zhang Jingwei!"

Seeing no one responding from inside, he called out again. "We're ready to go! No time to waste..."

Still no one responded.

"This operation is indeed extremely dangerous. If sister-in-law doesn't want to go, then don't go. I can also accomplish it with this group of brothers... Take care!"

After saying take care, the door opened.

The woman in front of him was very different from the one he saw yesterday. She looked exactly like a young lady waiting to be married, and didn't look like a village woman at all.

Xiao Cui is born beautiful, and with this red makeup, these delicate Daiyu eyebrows, eyeliner, opened eye corners, and pink eye shadow, her eyes become more charming.

This newly made dress, with its blue long sleeves and double-breasted design, does not look messy, but instead exudes a sense of nobility from the inside out.

The light blue long skirt covered her feet tightly, and the semi-transparent fabric allowed Zhang Jingwei to still see the exquisite flat-soled brocade shoes on her small feet.

Although Xiao Cui is not tall, her body proportions are very good, especially when paired with this exquisite dress, she looks very well-proportioned and even has a hint of elegance.

Zhang Jingwei, who was used to seeing long legs in stockings, was a little stunned.

Gao Fei, who was not far away, was also fascinated by the sight. His late wife also loved blue so much. Thinking of his late wife, his hand involuntarily clenched the knife at his waist.

Xiao Cui, who noticed something was wrong, looked at Zhang Jingwei shyly: "Why are you in such a hurry? Your makeup is smudged, just touch it up..."

That’s right, this is exactly the type Zhang Jingwei likes, quiet and elegant, just such a sweet girl.

Zhang Jingwei scratched his head with a smile, then turned away.

He coughed twice and said to everyone, "All troops, assemble and set off for the water defense camp!"

Several small flag officers beat gongs and shouted "All troops assemble".

The guards of the water defense camp hurriedly put on their armor, and the cavalry mounted their horses.

The group took the tied-up lawyer and the police officer and walked out of the village.

Gao Fei was now driving the lawyer's carriage, and sitting in the carriage were Zhang Jingwei and Xiao Cui.

Both of them lowered their heads.

Xiao Cui was shy, after all, she hadn't been alone with another man for a long time.

Zhang Jingwei was trying to restrain himself from having any more evil thoughts.

Although the Water Defense Camp is not far from Lijia Village, it will probably take until dark to walk there at the current pace.

Outside the carriage there were the sounds of horse hooves and the shaking of armor. The quieter the carriage got, the more deafening the noise outside became.
