"In the past few times, the messengers from above came down directly, but no one was sent to stand in front."
"Brother Zhou, please help the county's staff."
"This time the envoys from above sent people to attack the front station. What do they mean? How should this county respond?"
Wei An looked solemn and asked Zhou Peirong in a low voice.
"Well, I think there are two possibilities."
Zhou Peirong rubbed his chin and thought carefully before pointing two fingers at Wei An.
"Either, this messenger is more greedy than the previous ones. He wants to get more, so he sent someone to remind you."
"Either, this envoy is very principled and will not join in the trouble with the previous envoys. He sent people here to give you a warning."
"If it's the former, then it's very simple to deal with! To deal with a greedy person, just feeding him is enough!"
"But if it's the latter, then no matter how much preparation you make, my lord, the final effect may not be too great!"
After listening to Zhou Peirong's analysis, Wei An's expression did not change much.
Obviously!
Guardforce has actually thought of these two situations.
Zhou Peirong also understood that when Wei An called him here, he was not here to listen to his analysis.
Wei An's real purpose is definitely to want him to make decisions, and maybe even to want him to solve problems.
"This old fox, he is really rude to me!"
Zhou Peirong complained silently in his heart, but in fact, he didn't care about Wei An's behavior.
Now, he and Diana are in the same boat.
Helping Guardsman solve a problem is also helping him.
So even if Wei An really asked him to solve this problem, Zhou Peirong would not refuse.
"Don't worry, County Magistrate!"
Zhou Peirong tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and a confident smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"As long as you are a human being, you will definitely have preferences and weaknesses."
"As long as we collect good intelligence and prescribe the right medicine, it won't be difficult!"
"Brother Zhou, you have to be open-minded!"
When Wei An heard this, his expression relaxed as he murmured.
He looked pleased and nodded to Zhou Peirong with a smile.
“Leave the matter of gathering intelligence to this county.”
"This county guarantees that first-hand information will be delivered to you as quickly as possible."
"But then, it depends on your performance."
"Don't worry, County Magistrate! When have I, Zhou Peirong, ever let you down?"
Zhou Peirong vowed to make a guarantee to Wei An.
This matter has been stopped for the time being.
Seeing that it was almost noon, Zhou Peirong immediately waved his hand and signaled the waiter to serve the food quickly.
"Don't forget to bring the wine I brought. I want to have a few drinks with the magistrate!"
Zhou Peirong raised his voice and reminded the waiter from behind.
"Don't worry, boss, I won't leave behind anything you want!"
The waiter agreed and then rushed into the kitchen.
In just a moment, a table full of delicious food was ready.
The low-end version of pomegranate wine brought by Zhou Peirong was also served by the waiter.
"Come, Lord Magistrate, try this pomegranate wine!"
"This pomegranate wine can produce fluid, quench thirst, activate blood circulation and relieve pain. It is a really good thing."
"When the better-quality pomegranate wine arrives later, I will send you a few jars to the county magistrate as soon as possible."
Zhou Peirong said happily while pouring wine for Wei An.
"If this is the case, then this county will no longer be polite to you, Brother Zhou!"
Wei An smiled with satisfaction, picked up the wine glass, and tasted the pomegranate wine carefully.
Fifty miles away from Liming County, there is a small village.
In this village, the number of villagers is very small.
Normally, you rarely see people walking around in this village.
But in recent days, this village has suddenly become lively.
The reason why this village has undergone such changes is naturally because many outsiders have come here.
And these outsiders are the so-called "little devils" that Wei An and Zhou Peirong have been wary of, not wanting to offend.
In the largest courtyard in the village, a group of people were gathering here, obviously waiting for someone.
If Zhou Peirong were here, he would definitely recognize most of these people.
Sun Debiao, Li Shaorong, Lin Yuan...
Most of Zhou Peirong's enemies actually gathered here.
And their purpose was naturally to welcome the representative of the envoy sent by the imperial court.
If they want to take revenge on Zhou Peirong, they have to count on the messenger.
As the saying goes, the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door!
They have established a good relationship with the representative of the envoy now, and when the envoy arrives, it will be easy for them to close the relationship with the envoy.
Everyone didn't wait too long, and the representative of the messenger arrived.
It should be said that he is worthy of being someone who came from the feet of the Emperor!
He has obviously experienced enough big scenes, so he doesn't take seriously the petty quarrels of Sun Debiao and others at all, and he doesn't even pay attention to them.
"Everyone, please listen to me!"
The man looked cold and said in a deep voice: "The reason why I came here first is to serve as a frontline for the imperial envoy and to collect intelligence."
"Gathering intelligence?"
Look at these people present, look at me, look at you, everyone has the word "Meng" written in capital letters on their faces.
The man didn't bother everyone to think about it, but then spoke again coldly.
"What I want to collect is information about guard security."
"He has been entrenched in Liming County for so many years, so he can't be without any dirty information, right?"
"What you have to do is help me get Wei An's evidence!"
"..."
Everyone present fell silent again.
There was even a hint of flinching on a few people's faces.
The original purpose of these people was to fight back against Zhou Peirong, nothing more.
In order to achieve this goal, they needed to use the power of the envoy to put pressure on Wei An and prevent him from helping Zhou Peirong.
In fact, their desire to deal with Wei An was not that strong at all.
But now, the guy in front of them wants them to contribute their efforts to do something sinful to Wei An, and of course they are not happy!
But no matter how reluctant they are.
But in front of this person, they didn't dare to show it too obviously.
And that person didn't care about the performance of these people at all, he just exhaled coldly again.
"In addition to dealing with Wei An, Zhou Peirong is also my target."
"When you are collecting evidence of Wei An's crime, you should also check on this Zhou Peirong."
"Hmph, a scholar who doesn't respect his seniors, I have to educate him!"
