After watching Xu Mo get on the carriage, Xu Rong closed the yard door and returned to the house.

Seeing that the old man was still sitting at the table, Xu Rong said, "Master, go back to the house and rest. I will clean up this table tomorrow morning. It's already very late."

If the current time is converted into Xu Rong's previous life, it will be only around nine o'clock.

For the original world, many social animals were still working overtime, and most young people were still playing with their mobile phones, computers, going to bars to dance, etc.

But in this world, very few people have not yet slept at this time, and most of the people who have not slept go to have fun.

As usual, the old man should have gone to bed long ago.

"No hurry."

The old man's face was flushed, but his eyes were not turbid, but they were particularly bright.

"Now you are the deputy chief, and you can be regarded as the glorious ancestor. I am sure that with your ability, you will never stop here."

"But, in this officialdom, it is not enough to have the ability alone. If you don't handle this kind of relationship and intrigue, you may ruin your future because of one thing at any time."

When Xu Rong heard this, he understood what the old man meant.

The old man was worried that he was not familiar with the world and was easily deceived by those old men.

After all, in the eyes of the old man, he has fewer opportunities to deal with different people, especially those in the officialdom.

However, Xu Rong was originally a social animal in his previous life, and he had experienced many intrigues, and he watched many TV and news. Even if he hadn't experienced it, he had mostly heard of it.

So he is not completely inexperienced, he just needs to be more cautious, and even if he cannot do everything in a bad way, he will not make any big mistakes.

But this was the old man's kindness after all, so Xu Rong did not interrupt him, but listened quietly.

The old man looked at Xu Rong and saw Xu Rong looking at him, and he couldn't help but feel relieved.

He was afraid that Xu Rong would suddenly ascend to a high position at a young age and would not obey other people's advice.

However, at present, Xu Rong is obviously not such a person, and he also has a calmness that is beyond his peers.

"Actually, with your personality, I am more at ease, just because I am afraid that you will be blinded by this good thing and do something."

"Master, don't worry, what Xu Mo said today is also a good thing for me, and I didn't blindly agree to him."

Immediately, Xu Rong told the old man some of his thoughts.

After hearing this, the old man looked at Xu Rong with some surprise: "This... did you think of it yourself?"

Although this is the question, the old man already had the answer in his mind.

After all, Xu Rong has not been to other places during this period, so naturally it is impossible for him to tell others what just happened and let others find a way.

Xu Rong nodded slightly: "I almost have no foundation. The county magistrate asked me to take charge of the west and north of the city, which meant both rewarding me and testing me."

"Of course, there is another meaning, which is to use me to check and balance Huo Mingjue so that the yamen will not fall into a dominant situation, so that he can calmly grasp power without worrying about being undermined."

Xu Rong looked up at the old man, and saw that he was listening carefully, he continued, "Now I want to gain a foothold, the west of the city must be taken down, and the west of the city is a piece of fat meat, Huo Mingjue will definitely not be willing to spit it out like this.

In this way, conflict is almost inevitable."

"I have confidence in my martial arts. It's not difficult to beat Huo Mingjue, and even his confidants, but what if I accept the west of the city?"

"I can't do everything myself, right? In this way, how can I have time to practice and improve myself? It's not what I want to be busy with trivial matters every day."

"So Xu Mo's proposal is an extremely good thing for me."

"When I drive Huo Mingjue away, with the assistance of these merchants, the west of the city can still remain stable."

"And what I have to do is to cultivate some of my own confidants in the next period of time and completely control the west of the city."

Xu Rong's analysis made the old man extremely satisfied.

"You see better than me. When you sit in your current position, you can only go against Huo Mingjue. As long as you make this first step, even if the situation is in decline, the county magistrate will support you."

"It's just that, you can only be limited to the county government in this life. However, Arong, you know your ability, and it won't be difficult for you."

The old man was completely relieved. He was worried that Xu Rong was young and had no rules in his work, but he did not expect that Xu Rong had already thought of a comprehensive plan.

He stood up and stood straight: "I'll go and rest first. I'm old now, I feel sleepy if I drink two bowls of wine."

"Master, please wait."

Xu Rong slightly helped the old man into the room.

When he saw the old man going to bed, Xu Rong closed the door and then went to the yard to wash.

Although this winter is a bit cold, it is no big deal for Xu Rong.

His thick body of qi and blood is easy to resist the cold.

After washing up, Xu Rong returned to his room to sleep.

...

Early the next morning, Xu Rong got up and cleaned up everything yesterday, washed up before leaving.

After the yamen, Xu Rong followed a few constables in charge of the west of the city to the stronghold located in the west of the city.

Many yamen runners are already waiting here.

Cao Liangyuan narrowed his slender eyes slightly, then pulled his face and said, "Assistant Captain, everyone is here, what instructions do you have?"

"I came here on the first day and was not very familiar with the situation here, so I won't say anything. Today I will gather here to recognize people first, so that no one will know me, and no misunderstanding will happen at that time.

alright."

Xu Rong had a smile on his face, and he seemed to be very kind.

As the saying goes, he is not a sure thing. His current age is that many people will definitely have ideas about him.

So he needs to find an opportunity to maintain his majesty, so that it will be more convenient to defend himself in the future.

However, before this, he needed to act harmless, so that people would think he was easy to bully and would bring the opportunity to establish his authority.

Sure enough, seeing Xu Rong's behavior, Cao Liangyuan, who didn't look down on Xu Rong, gave a wink at some of the yamen runners beside him.

Suddenly, a yamen runner sneered and said, "Is there no one in our yamen? Who can you control if you send such a yellow-haired boy?"

"There are many thieves in this market, and many of them are looking for the wind. If you encounter those thieves, they run to you with their knives, don't scare you to pee at that time."
