As time went by, the family's wealth was consumed like water. In the end, he not only spent all his fortune, but also had to borrow a huge loan from the bank to maintain the various expenses of Wu County.

When Li Chengqian was reviewing the information of officials from various places, he was shocked to see the unique situation of Qian Shuwang borrowing money to govern Wu County. He was speechless for a while.

He really couldn't imagine that there would be officials who would take on such a huge debt in order to govern the local area. In his opinion, the management of Wu County was just like a strange makeshift team, full of incredible things.

There are many officials who make money, but he is the first one to take out a loan.

In the county government, the person Qian Shuwang disliked the most was the county lieutenant Tang Wang.

He was willing to spend all his money and put in countless efforts and sweat for the development of Wu County, but Tang Wang was completely different.

Tang Wang always mentioned "Your Majesty" on his lips and acted like he was loyal to the Tang Dynasty and willing to sacrifice everything for the country on various occasions.

But when it comes to actually doing something for Wu County, he always does things perfunctorily and takes no real action.

As a county lieutenant, Tang Wang should have been responsible for maintaining public order in Wu County and assisting the county magistrate in handling various affairs, but he never made any substantial contribution to the development of Wu County.

He can only talk and use some high-sounding words to cover up his inaction.

Whenever Qian Shuwang assigned him to handle some specific matters, he would always find various excuses to shirk responsibility, or just deal with it superficially without actually implementing it.

What’s even more infuriating is that Tang Wang is extremely cunning and cautious in his actions, never leaving any handles.

Every time Qian Shuwang expressed dissatisfaction with his behavior, he could always cleverly use the name of "Your Majesty" to excuse himself, leaving Qian Shuwang helpless even though he was filled with anger.

Qian Shuwang hated Tang Wang's behavior, but he couldn't find a suitable way to deal with him, so he could only choose to avoid him as much as possible. Every time he saw Tang Wang, he felt as disgusted as if he had eaten a dead fly.

Today, Qian Shuwang was handling official business in the county government office when he suddenly heard his servants come to report that Tang Wang had encountered a tough guy while performing his duties outside.

It is said that Tang Wang brought twenty men to capture three foreigners, but was beaten by the madman and had no chance to fight back.

After hearing the news, Qian Shuwang couldn't help but feel secretly happy. He thought to himself, finally someone can curb Tang Wang's arrogance.

At the same time, he was also full of curiosity about this madman who could fight twenty people alone.

The reason why the people from the county government arrived at the scene just now was because Qian Shuwang wanted to see Tang Wang in trouble.

So I started preparing slowly.

If this matter had only involved Tang Wang suffering a loss, there would not be anything special about it.

But the key point is that the man was able to fight against twenty well-trained yamen runners on his own. In Qian Shuwang's eyes, such skills made him a rare talent.

Qian Shuwang was eager to achieve greater success in his official career. If he could recommend such a talent to the court, once this person made military achievements on the battlefield, he, as the recommender, would definitely be rewarded by the court.

Because of this reason, Qian Shuwang could no longer delay and immediately rushed to the scene of the incident in a panic.

This is why everyone was out of breath but still came so slowly.

On the way to the scene, Qian Shuwang was full of worries. He was not worried about Tang Wang's safety, but was afraid that the man would accidentally kill Tang Wang during the conflict with Tang Wang and others.

If that were the case, although I would feel relieved, that man would also have committed a serious crime and his bright future would have been ruined.

And his plan to recommend him will come to nothing.

After a quick rush, Qian Shuwang finally arrived at the scene.

He looked around and saw a young man sitting leisurely on a bench, with no trace of panic on his face, as if the fierce battle that had just taken place had nothing to do with him.

Qian Shuwang immediately determined that the man in front of him was the talent he had always dreamed of.

He secretly felt lucky that the boy did not take the opportunity to escape.

Qian Shuwang couldn't wait to jump off the horse and walked hurriedly towards the man.

However, just after he took two steps, the expression on his face suddenly changed drastically.

The originally joyful expression disappeared in an instant, replaced by a look of panic.

His eyes began to become flustered, and he kept looking left and right, as if he was looking for something.

He unconsciously took a few steps back, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
