The layout of the county government is actually a smaller version of the palace, with the front and back sleeping, which is both an office place and a courtyard for rest.

The houses next to each other on the periphery are all very busy, and the officials are holding bamboo slips and frequently entering and leaving, and all the affairs of the entire county are handled here.

The backyard where several soldiers guarded the wall was separated by a wall was where the family of the fifth family was located.

It has been a while since Ma Chanchan moved in. Although this yard is not as spacious as the Ma Family in Maoling, it is much larger than the Fifth Family Dockyard. A few locust trees were planted, with the crowns higher than the walls, with dense branches and leaves, and locust flowers in full bloom.

Under the walls of blue bricks and black tiles, there were some flowers, trees, green bamboos planted by the former county Yin family. Ma Chanchan thought that the wife was probably from the south.

No matter how careful the fifth family is, he is a man. He is busy with his daily life, so he has no intention of controlling these flowers and plants. However, the people in the county government have changed a lot, and they are mostly trusted maids from the fifth family. It is okay to be loyal. He is just a rough hand and is more interested in growing vegetables, so no one cares about flowers and trees. Now he is a little declining.

"If a guest who cares about the details comes to visit and sees the courtyard so messy, he feels that the county magistrate cannot be integrated, let alone a county, it is probably a big deal for the good man."

So Ma Chanchan was idle and would water some water to restore them to their colorful and green height. She also repaired the broken bricks and stones on the ground, and shoveled the moss to avoid letting the visiting elders slip. She ignored the chaos in the past, and kept the appearance of the county government in the future and let the fifth reunion live comfortably. It was her responsibility.

A servant passed by and saw the mistress standing by the wall in a simple and deep dress, and saluted her: "Fifth Lady."

Ma Chanchan smiled and replied, "Just call me Young Master."

There is no way, just because the surname of the fifth reunion is so strange, especially when you are connected with your wife, you don’t know that she is the wife of the fifth wife of the county magistrate!

If you want to do it, be the first and be the fifth.

When she brought people to the back house with food, the fifth reunion was still sifting through the bamboo slips that the subordinates sifted through, but they were still piled up like a hill.

The fifth reun was frowning and holding a pen to write something. When Ma Chanchan approached, he could see three symbols above.

Gouge, fork, and question marks that are original to the fifth reunion. Sometimes there are three consecutive calls???

Whenever I encounter such bamboo slips, the fifth reunion will get up and walk, whispering to a silly county priest.

After cursing for a few words, I could only rub my painful temples and sit back and continue watching.

Anyway, Ma Chanchan felt that the bamboo slips of the fifth reunion could never be finished. Sometimes she had to take the initiative to reach out and pull the bamboo slips from her hand away before he could sit down and have a meal.

I don’t know if they didn’t fall in love before marriage or if they had been separated for a long time after marriage, but they still didn’t have too much intimacy and were still respectful to each other. However, after more than a month, there was a bit more interaction, and there was no more awkward scene of just one or two words for a meal.

Ma Chanchan said when adding the second bowl of rice to the fifth reunion: "I have lived in my uncle Zengshan Lianru Mansion in the past. When I heard from my aunt that there are few bamboo slips on my uncle's desk, and I am very leisurely every day."

Wu Lun shook his head: "There are many bamboo slips sent by the county, which are actually a good thing. If it suddenly becomes less, it is not that the county has been under great control, but that there are two possibilities."

"First, the county no longer listens to the county magistrate and no longer reports everything."

For example, the three counties controlled by the Li family in the northwest of the county and three old marquis countries with descendants of King Zhao, communicated once or twice a month. The real situation there must be sent to do it carefully. It was originally a jurisdiction, but it was the same as the enemy country.

"Second, the bamboo slips are stuck in the hands of the officials and ministers."

Local officials collude with powerful people and underestimate the 2,000 stones. Don’t listen to the following words that fool you to “rule with your back”. They are usually relaxed and will give you a big surprise at critical moments.

Of course, we cannot go to the opposite side and work too hard. For example, if a soldier in the army makes a mistake and wants to be punished with twenty rods, let Ma Yuan and the military officer deal with it themselves, without having to review it, and arrest everything in person, which will only make oneself exhausted.

The fifth relationship is not a political genius, and his luck is not very good. He can only win the mediocre part and make up for the shortcomings by diligence and continuous learning.

After dinner, Wu Lun thought about the information revealed by Ma Chanchan. Looking at the third uncle from home, Zengshan Lian led the horse officers to control Shangjun. I was afraid that he would give him three questions and provide him with as much as possible help in the future?

It seems that Ma Yuan is the most talented and capable of it. The fifth replies now rely on him quite a lot. There is no way. Whoever makes this father-in-law really capable? Whoever uses it will say it is really good! He is not there for those three months, the fifth replies have to personally capture the military so that the military preparations will not be left behind.

In the long run, it is not a good thing to rely too much on a person or a family, but it is inseparable in the short term. Ma Yuan has brought his children, wives and concubines to Wei Chengjun, and he has tied him closer to the fifth reunion. The current situation is like a son-in-law and his father-in-law's family to invest in opening a store, but the fifth reunion has just been named a boss.

The fifth reunion sat on the couch and secretly checked his power. Ma Yuan was the first military general, and Geng Chun was the first civil servant. However, his daily attitude towards the fifth reunion was not regarded as the master, but as a friend. He was originally brought by the fifth reunion through his old friendship.

There is no loyalty in this world for no reason, and Geng Chun is also selfish, in order to give Song Zi Geng a way out in the future. After all, Dingtao, Jiping County, where his father works, is not reliable in the world. Especially in Gengshi, the more than 100,000 royal troops of the Taishi's Eastern Expedition used that as a gathering place. After the war was over, they were afraid that the former rich land would become a ghost.

Therefore, Geng Chuncai invested in Wei Di and became the deputy county magistrate of the Fifth Lun. Considering the strength of the Julu Geng family, he could be the main stock of Ma Yuan, a shareholder!

People can invest and withdraw funds, which is the current situation that must be clearly recognized.

This is true for Big Geng, let alone Xiao Geng. Geng Yan now agreed to join the army, not even because of his fifth relationship, but to come to the south to have fun, and by the way he wanted to compete with his fellow villager Ma Yuan.

Shuo Dian led Geng Kuang to be a long-time general in the frontier, holding three thousand Youzhou cavalry. Once the world is in chaos, Xiao Geng may resign and hang his seal, and turn around and run back to Shuo Dian. But even in order to establish a good relationship with Geng Kuang and become an ally, this kid must win over it, which can be called a "potential shareholder".

In the final analysis, the real chassis of the fifth reunion is the Zhu Tufengyong old subordinates, as well as the tribe members, Wan Xiu, the Seventh Biao and the veterans, which he brought, were all complete, and were for the minions.

Huang Chang and Feng Qin are locals, but they can't escape. They either want to find a good future or tie their family interests to the ship of the fifth reunion [www.biqugew.co], hoping to survive in troubled times. Feng Qin can do things down-to-earth, and Huang Chang can be eloquent, and they can be confidant. Unfortunately, their eyes are mostly limited to Wei Di itself.

With his thighs, minions, confidants, and wings gradually grew. After building a team of five people for more than half a year, the team of fifth ties was basically complete, and he also understood what he lacked the most now.

Of course it's not a brain, he is just himself.

"Lack of eyes."

"There is a lack of a strategy man who has a long-term vision and a broad mind, and can help me observe the current situation in the world!"

...

Chenliu County, which is hundreds of miles away from Wei Cheng County, followed by the failure of the last advice, Feng Yan also ended his second advice to General Gengshi Lian Dan.

"It is not to betray Your Majesty, but to protect yourself. The saint turns misfortune into blessings, and the wise man is successful because of his defeat. I hope that the Ming Gong will make great plans without the same as the common people. If this can be done, then the blessings and wealth will be endless, and the merit will be strong and the immortal."

But Lian Dan's loyalty to Wang Mang was far beyond Feng Yan's vision.

The often defeated general said, "Jingtong is right. This is indeed a world collapse. This land collapse is not the fault of Your Majesty alone. If we are the generals of the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers, we will also have a serious crime."

"My family was not prominent in the Han Dynasty. When I was young, I served Your Majesty little by little. I was promoted and granted a title of marquis. I served as the pastor of Yong's ministry, Grand Marshal, General of the Southern Expedition, and General Gengshi. I asked myself that I was just a little bit of it. I even made a fool of myself when I attacked Jucheng, which made me useless for a long time and ruined the national savage. After being summoned to Chang'an, I thought I would definitely be held accountable and killed."

Lian Dan raised his head and sighed: "I never thought that Your Majesty had forgiven my sins and entrusted him with important tasks to fight against the Huns in the north."

"I agree with Yan Boshi's view that the troubles of the new room are not the Huns and Jucheng, but the rebellious thief inside, so I joined forces with the Grand Tutor to design that Han Wei went out of the frontier to end the war, but is my loyalty to the new room more than Han Weishao?"

"Now that the Guandong Bantang is doomed, Your Majesty has sent me as a general. Although Lian Dan is not capable enough, he has received heavy responsibilities from the country and will not be able to repay his kindness if he does not donate himself to the middle and wilderness. Not to mention that our army has many power in this battle, even if he is defeated, he will be worthy of Your Majesty! As for those words that cannot be accepted, Jingtong should not say anything more!"

This is not a scene. Feng Yan really saw a trace of spirit in Lian Dan's eyes that had been big and unsightly, the idea of ​​dying to repay the king.

Incompetence and stubbornness and loyalty are beyond help.

Feng Yan suddenly realized and stopped persuading. When the army continued to set sail from Chenliu to Dingtao, Feng Yan asked Lian Dan again to go to Zhiting County (Dong County) to supervise the food and grass.

Lian Dan did not stop him, and asked Feng Yan to take a few people to the left to the north. At the end of April, after reaching Zhiting County, the scene of starvation began to appear along the way. The Grand Master Wang Kuang's division of troops was in this state. Even without the orders of his superiors, they still could not change their habit of levying heavy taxes and killing innocent people indiscriminately, so that the people all shouted a song.

"It's better to meet the Red Eyebrow than the King's Army!"

This made Feng Yan even more determined. When he passed by a Lilu, which was damaged by soldiers and bandits, he found that there were also many corpses inside, some of which were already smelly, and some were quite fresh. Wild dogs were running around in the alley, eating human flesh and red eyes.

Feng Yan asked his family to kill one, then took off his official uniform, covered it with a dog corpse, and then stabbed it with a knife!

Finally, he handed over the blood-stained official uniforms all over the knife holes to a private servant.

"Take a few people back and report to General Gengshi, and said that Feng Yan was killed by the bandits before he arrived at the Zhiting Pavilion. The body was buried on the spot, leaving only the clothes and official seals. I hope to leave a memory for the general!"

Fake death and escape? I was shocked, but I still took the order and left. Feng Yan breathed a sigh of relief: "From now on, I have jumped out of the water and was about to sink."

He was grateful for Lian Dan's appreciation and promotion, but Lian Dan wanted to be buried with Wang Mang together for his new house, but Feng Yan could not persist with Lian Dan.

It was time to jump ship. His ancestors were Feng Fengshi, a famous Xuanyuan period. The Feng family and Wang family had some minor frictions. Feng Yan had never been met by the emperor later. There was no need to trap himself and his family. He had persuaded him all the time. Since General Gengshi insisted on not following him, he could only let him down.

"Du Ling can't go back for the time being, where should we go?"

Although he jumped off the ship successfully, you can tell that he was still in the water and it was still early to get ashore after looking at the broken Lilu and the corpses everywhere.

Feng Yan had already thought of a way out and said to himself: "There are three places where I can go."

One is to go to General Dou Rong, the general who threw the waves and water. They worked together, but Dou Rong is now in Yan You's army and is afraid that he will not be able to get the best. Wherever he goes, it's like throwing fire, which is unwise.

One is Shangdang County. The Feng family originated from Shangdang, which is considered his hometown. Moreover, Feng Yan's good friend is also a dissident in the court. Bao Yong is an aide to Shangdang Dayin and is deeply trusted and can provide Feng Yan with some protection.

But that shelter is just a thatched cottage in a rainy day, and may be blown away by the strong wind. Feng Yan hopes to get into a solid brick and tile house, and it is best to be able to show his strength and strength in it.

"Then choose my third cave!"

Feng Yan looked to the north. Why did he, before, risk being discovered by General Gengshi, helping him change the route of Zhu Tufeng bravely marching in the new Qinzhong for him for no reason?

Why can you do it for the future... no, it is to find a way out for the present!

"Let's go to Weicheng County!"

"Fifth Reunion, he owe me a big favor!"
