Even if the city is full of storms, Wu Nian can cover the sky with one hand and suppress the storm.

As Wu Nian entered Yuan County, all the disturbances were settled. The soldiers stayed where they should be, and the county magistrate also stayed where he should be.

Civil and military affairs go hand in hand, and everything is in order.

Only one hundred households, Liu Zhongting, was imprisoned in the county jail, awaiting judgment.

Wu Nian did not deal with this matter. He wanted to leave the matter to Zhang Jin himself. This was a favor to Zhang Jin.

He also believed that Zhang Jin could handle it well.

But the premise is that this brother has to wake up on his own.

Wu Nian has never believed in fate in his life. He only believes in his own hands. But maybe, it is really auspicious people who have a destiny.

That night.

Wu Nian lived in Zhang Jin's mansion.

Zhang Jin woke up at noon the next day.

Wu Nian was eating when he got the news. He quickly threw away his bowls and chopsticks and quickly came to Zhang Jin's bedroom.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Mrs. Zhang sat on the stool, covering half of her face with her sleeves, crying with joy. Zhang Jin sat leaning on the head of the bed, still weak, but with his eyes open.

Still awake.

Wu Nian looked at him carefully and smiled.

"General, why are you here?" Zhang Jin asked in surprise. He had been in a coma for many days, and his memory still remained at the time when he had just passed out.

Wu Nian was about to speak when a maid came in carrying a bowl of steaming rice porridge.

"Drink the porridge first and then talk." Wu Nian smiled and stepped away.

Zhang Jin felt that something was wrong, but his stomach growled, so he did not refuse. Mrs. Zhang personally picked up the rice porridge, blew it again and again, and then fed it to Zhang Jin one spoonful at a time.

After Zhang Jin finished eating, she tactfully left with her maid, leaving the place for the two brothers.

"How do you feel?" Wu Nian sat on the stool, looked up at Zhang Jin, whose face had regained some color, and asked with concern.

"It's okay. But my head is still a little groggy." Zhang Jin turned his neck and said.

"Hahaha. It's just that your head is a little dizzy, so be lucky. The doctor said that if you can't wake up within three days, there will be no hope. It's the second day now."

Wu Nian laughed and said.

"Really?" Zhang Jin was surprised, then smiled and said: "That's good. Lord Yama won't accept us either. We are determined to survive."

"That's right. Life is tough." Wu Nian smiled and nodded.

The two brothers talked for a while, and Zhang Jin's expression suddenly became serious and he said, "General, if you have anything to say, just tell me."

"Yeah." Wu Nian nodded and explained everything in detail.

After Zhang Jin heard this, his expression became silent. Then he took out his hands from the quilt, struggled and clasped his fists at Wu Nian and said, "General, I made an oversight."

"You made an oversight, brother." Wu Nian sighed and nodded. No matter what, this brother is the coach, and if anything happens, he is at fault.

and.

Liu Zhongting asked his soldiers to cultivate fields and build houses. It took more than a day or two. So besides Liu Zhongting, was there anyone else who did this?

Zhang Jin didn't even know.

Maybe Zhang Jin is busy training new recruits, or maybe Zhang Jin is low on energy because of illness. An oversight is always inevitable.

Zhang Jin was very ashamed, but there was no point in being ashamed. He could only spend more energy and work in the future to avoid such things from happening.

"General, how do you plan to deal with it?" Zhang Jin exhaled, raised his head and asked.

"This matter is your business." Wu Nian said with a smile.

"I understand." Zhang Jin immediately understood that this was Wu Nian's favor for him, and nodded heavily. After a pause, he said: "General, please give me three days, and I will investigate. In addition."

Zhang Jin lowered his head and looked at himself, and said with a wry smile: "I'm too weak. I need to spend some time to recuperate before I can move around on my own."

"Okay. I'll give you five days." Wu Nian said with a smile.

Since his brother was fine and the matter had been told to him, Wu Nian left the bedroom without disturbing Zhang Jin's rest.

Zhang Jin also summoned his cronies to investigate the matter of officers in the army using soldiers to reclaim fields and build houses, so that they could have a clear idea.

Five days later.

morning.

The sun is scorching and very annoying.

In the military camp in the south of the city, there stands a captain's mansion.

Many soldiers held spears and stood guard all around under the direct sunlight.

Surrounded by several government officials, Wang Youxiao entered the military camp and arrived outside the main hall of the captain's mansion. He straightened up his appearance slightly and then walked in with his head held high.

Inside the hall.

Zhang Jin sat in the main seat on the right, and Wu Nian sat on the left. In the two rows of seats in front, three thousand households sat on the right.

After Wang Youxiao walked in from outside, he first saluted Wu Nian and Zhang, and then sat on the left side, face to face with the three thousand households.

Zhang Jin stood up, walked to Wang Youxiao, and sincerely saluted with clasped fists: "Master Wang, I am incompetent and have caused you trouble."

The three thousand households frowned, a little dissatisfied, but because Wu Nian and Zhang Jin were both present, they did not dare to get angry. Instead, they also stood up and saluted Wang Youxiao.

Wang Youxiao was not a ungrateful person, and Zhang Jin was not entirely to blame for this incident. He also stood up, clasped his fists in return and said, "Zhang Xiaowei's words are serious."

Zhang Jin nodded, returned to his seat and sat down. He raised his head and looked at the three thousand households with very stern eyes.

"You three have been with me for many years. You have lived in Liaodong for half your life. Don't you know the incompetence of Liaodong's generals?"

"How can you allow the hundreds of households and general banners under your command to use soldiers as domestic slaves?"

"Are you indulging them or using them to test me? Do you also want to use soldiers to cultivate fields and build mansions for you?"

As soon as Zhang Jin said these words, the three thousand households couldn't bear it. They immediately stood up and knelt on the ground with one knee.

"Brother." One of the Qianhus raised his head and looked at Zhang Jin. He was interrupted by Zhang Jin as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Call me Captain." Zhang Jin said sternly.

"Master Captain, we are all brothers who have gone through life and death. Do I have to deal with Liu Zhongting just because he asked the soldiers to do something? I can't bear it."

This Qianhu said with red eyes and lowered his head.

"Liu Hu, I guess you're not bad yet. It's just because you can't bear it, instead of using Liu Zhongting to test my bottom line. I believe you."

"I will demote you to the rank of Hundred Households and temporarily take over the official position of Thousand Households."

"The same goes for you two."

"I have investigated the matter. Eight of the thirty hundred households under your command are secretly doing this kind of thing. Among them are Wang Jinyong, Lai Gongshun... Chen Xuyou and others. All of them have been dismissed from their posts."

"Liu Zhongting. He killed his concubine privately and executed her immediately."

"Tell Liu Zhongting that we are brothers through life and death. I will take good care of his wife and children. There is no need to worry about him."

Zhang Jin acted vigorously and said in a deep voice.

"Yes." The three thousand households opened their mouths, wanting to plead with Liu Zhongting, but they did not dare. They had to respond.

"General." Zhang Jin stood up, knelt on one knee in front of Wu Nian, and said sincerely: "General, I made an oversight. Please request to be reduced to a thousand households. When will you kill the enemy and perform meritorious service, and then forgive the crime. Please ask General again.

The official was reinstated."

"No need. It's too troublesome to be demoted to a thousand households and then reinstated. Just continue to be your captain." Wu Nian smiled, bent down, grabbed Zhang Jin's shoulders, and helped him up.

Zhang Jin was very ashamed when he heard this, but looked at Wu Nian's face and said nothing more.

Wu Nian was very satisfied with Zhang Jin's ruling. He was worthy of being a general he relied on. Although there were some minor issues, the big issues were unmistakable.

Brother is very good.

This matter ends here. But there is one more thing.
Chapter completed!
