Chapter 1623 Become the County Magistrate

The City Lord's Mansion and Yitian were immediately dumbfounded when they received the news. They never thought that another force would dare to play cards in such a way that did not follow the rules. The City Lord immediately took his personal guards to the Changshi Mansion to ask I understand, but it's useless to ask this now, or Yitiandang's people are more direct, and they will chase after them directly. Large forces like them have their own force, and even in their calculations, If the cooperation with Li Cong fails, they will also take such actions, but they just don't say it. Li Cong also expected that they would have such a move, so he told them, although he can handle it These people from the Divine Arrow Army, but you also have to do your best. Li Cong knew that it might be very troublesome if he, a businessman, killed all these hundreds of people, but the City Lord's Mansion and Yitiandang are all people with backgrounds. If people are killed by them, there will not be so many things, and the current situation is two to one. Under such circumstances, if their people can't kill these people in the provincial capital administrative region, then Li Cong has to reconsider Let's take a look at the abilities of these two partners. Maybe a different partner is what Li Cong needs more. m

They naturally understand that Li Cong just gave this guarantee and that guarantee, and he agreed without asking, and he gave you so much tea. You are going to make money, and now you just made it. Guaranteed that something will happen immediately, and it is not a trivial matter. This is not just bullying Li Cong, but also slapping you in the face. Suoye has lost his former peace at this time. The backstage of the Changshi Mansion he It is also very clear that this person should not be a person who does things like that, even his background in the capital, the dean of the Executive Yuan, is not such a person. But why did they make such a crazy move? At this time, Master Suo also knew that it was pointless to think about it. It's useless for the city lord to go to the Changshi mansion to make a fuss. There is no one else except Cui Changsheng there, and the city lord can't do anything to Cui Changsheng. At this time, Lord Suo, hurry up and use your own strength They were sent out, and they set off in less than two hours. Li Cong's tea forest is very big, and they can't do too many things in two hours, and they don't know where Li Cong's core is. On the contrary, the two later batches of reinforcements knew about it. So their speed should be faster.

Now the city lord's mansion and Yitian don't need to hide. It's already been made public at this time, and it's meaningless to say this again. Both parties have gathered together to find a way at this moment. Although they comforted themselves that there was only two hours, it cannot be ruled out that people's luck is just a matter of time. so good. People can find Li Cong's warehouse directly. They also know that there are two thousand catties of tea in Li Cong's warehouse, and there is now a batch of them in it. If it is burned, the loss will not be small. But they can't blame Li Cong for this matter. This is their carelessness. They should be responsible for opponents at this level, and they all have ugly faces.

The speed of the Shenjian Army is still very fast, and their riding skills are very good. In addition, their horses are all good horses, not ordinary horses. Besides, the place where Li Cong is located is only five hours away from the fast horse in the county city. It took them four hours to get there, because Li Cong's communication Equipment, so most people here know that someone is going to attack them. Master Hu's tenants thought they were bandits at first, but when they saw the banner of the Shenjian Army, they were immediately frightened and didn't know what to do.

It’s okay to ask them to deal with bandits or something, but they don’t have the skills or the courage to ask them to deal with the God’s Arrow Army. At the moment, it dissipated immediately. Originally, the dozen or so people from Li Cong didn't expect them to do anything. They also collected some news about the God's Arrow Army, and some of their brothers also entered this special group. The army of the gods, so their combat effectiveness is still very clear. In fact, even if the guards organized by these ordinary people rushed up, they would probably be slaughtered. The hit rate is 80%, and they also have powerful crossbows specially used in the army, which are not available to ordinary people. These things can shoot hundreds of meters in an instant, with extremely strong penetration and lethality. Very powerful, the hundreds of people who came this time also carried such weapons.

If there are no more than a dozen people from Li Cong, it is estimated that two thousand more people may not be able to stop them from hundreds of people, let alone these ordinary people, even the city guards in the county are not their opponents. , but now with Li Cong, these people are completely different. These archers are going to suffer today. They sprint quickly from the main road, and they have no intention of guarding against them at all. Afraid of this, in their view, there is no enemy in this land Shanghai that they need to worry about, even if there is, it is the guard of the city lord or the people who rely on the sky from behind, but they don't know they are coming at the moment, Even if they want to come over, they should be behind, they can't make it through.

"Attention, the target has entered the sniper range, attention, the target has entered the sniper range, the target distance is 512M, the wind speed is level one, and each part is equipped with a silencer and can be sniped freely." The captain's voice came from most people's ears, ten sniper The gun was already aimed at them. It can be said that this is Li Cong's first contest with modern technology and these ancient elite troops. The dozen or so people in front of the Shenjian Army immediately entered the shooting range. They are battle-tested veterans. When they are targeted, they all have a feeling. Some of them even looked around. They would never feel that someone 500 meters away would be against them. Not to mention them, even the best archers in the army can't hit the enemy 500 meters away. Now they calculate it according to the steps. It can be said that one meter is two steps, and it is very difficult to get up to 400 steps. It's amazing, some sharp archers can only take 500 steps, and no one has ever achieved the 500 meters in front of them.

"Ah..." With the first scream, more people started to be shot. The soldiers behind were so fast that it was impossible for them to stop their horses. So they can only trample on the corpses of their comrades in front. The Shenjian Army has never encountered such a thing. How could they encounter an ambush? However, they are well-trained troops after all, and they immediately know how to dismount and then They were looking for cover, but they couldn't believe it. In this instant, dozens of them died. These were all their comrades who fought together on the battlefield. Speaking of which, these people are more important than their relatives There are many. But these people did not die on the battlefield. They actually died in such a small place, including their captain. Their captain has led them for more than ten years. It can be said that he is the person with the most powerful record. He has shot and killed hundreds of people. But he didn't even see his enemies here, so he just died here. At this moment, their confidence was shaken. It is not that there is no army in this world that is stronger than them, but the chances of their army encountering those troops are really high. It's too small. The nine major administrative regions all have their own elite troops. They belong to this administrative region. It is impossible for the troops in other administrative regions to be stronger than them. At most, it was a tie. Even if it was a sneak attack, it would be impossible for them to suffer so many casualties. On the territory of the empire, the only one who could completely defeat them was the imperial guards of the imperial capital, but the imperial guards relied on them The heavy armor quickly impacted to win the victory. These people have not yet shown up, but they are relying on long-distance attacks to cause them casualties. But they looked for their enemies in the way they used to watch archery, why couldn't they find them.

Archery and shooting are definitely two different things. The speed of archery cannot keep up with guns, let alone sniper guns. One is that there will be wind noise when shooting arrows. After adding the latest silencer to this sniper gun, it makes no sound at all. No, it is absolutely impossible for them to rely on listening to the voice. After the captain died, the deputy captain at the back of the team immediately became their supreme commander, "Everyone put out their own torches. The enemy is in the dark." The deputy captain looked at the pitch-black surroundings, soldiers were still being killed, he was next to a soldier's corpse, there were no arrows on the corpse, but there were two blood The holes are bleeding. In fact, this is because they have armor on their bodies. If not, the blocking bullets will definitely open a big hole in their bodies. Is it really useful to just extinguish the torch? Not necessarily, in the face of modern warfare, such small tricks will not have any effect at all.

The snipers in the distance sneered when they saw their actions to extinguish the torches. There are thermal imaging cameras here. Unless you are as hard as rocks, otherwise you can't do anything even if you put on ten layers of armor. When nearly half of the people were killed, their deputy captain finally saw sparks on both sides in front of them. Although silencers were added, sparks from some bullets could still be seen in such a dark night." They are in front of us, we can't continue here, if we continue here, we will be killed by them sooner or later, brothers, get on your horse and rush over." The deputy captain shouted, this is the effort of a cup of tea These people killed half of the people on his side. He knew very well that extinguishing the torches had no effect at all. Many people were killed after extinguishing the torches. The enemy has the ability to see them in the dark Yes, his soldiers are all well-trained, and they can sprint in the dark night without using torches. The remaining one hundred soldiers immediately got on their horses and rushed towards the front of the fire. They knew that archery is not good now. Yes, they must use their strongest thing, the crossbow, that is their ultimate weapon, and none of them expected to use it here.

The ten snipers didn't expect them to move so fast, and these people's eyesight is very good. Besides, they are all scouts, not professional snipers, if they are snipers of the Guards , It is estimated that none of these people can get up now. They don’t just have such a skill. A crossbow arrow shot at a sniper’s side. He felt the danger. No, although these people are still shooting blindly now, But soon their distance will get closer and closer. When the time comes, they will have dozens of people. Ten of them will definitely not be the opponents of these people in close combat. The captain of the blocking team ordered to retreat. Throwing a grenade, even if the horses here are well-trained, they have never encountered such a thing. One by one, they started to jump up uncontrollably. The soldiers of the Divine Arrow Army had never seen such a glowing explosive body. And it can actually hurt people. When they stopped to evade, the ten snipers had already retreated in an all-round way. At this time, there were less than 80 people in the Shenjian Army who could fight. The team leader's judgment was correct. They charged Their skills are indeed very strong. If they have a machine gun at this time, they may not be afraid of them. This is also the mistake of the team leader. They thought that the sniper gun would be able to deal with them very well, but who knew they would be exposed so quickly. It was exposed halfway through. Sure enough, these people are not vegetarians, so they came up so quickly. Of course, we are not without help.

"Direction 311.123, altitude 65 degrees. Rapid fire, fire." There are two mortars behind, and it is really a piece of cake to deal with these dozens of people, and there are three people holding submachine guns in a dangerous place behind. As for the place where the eighty of them want to rush over, it is absolutely impossible. They will kill them with zero casualties. Speaking of which, the eighteen of them have all kinds of weapons. If they can't deal with these people , that is simply too embarrassing. No matter how trump card troops are, the gap between these weapons is too great, just like the current situation, they can hit the enemy, but people can't even see them, if they wear ordinary people's clothes. It is estimated that the Shenjian Army can also find them, but at the moment they are all wearing night clothes. Such battlefield cover clothes are very useful, and the explosion of the grenade temporarily caused most of the soldiers to have ear problems, so the judgment is not so good Sensitive, the most important thing is that their confidence is gone.

Li Cong said a long time ago that an army without confidence is not an army. At this moment, the remaining 80 people have such thoughts. The deputy captain has also been killed by the snipers. What the snipers have to do It is to kill their leader immediately, and these people can see that whoever is the leader will definitely be killed immediately, so none of the rest of them dare to stand up and say anything, many people They all thought of escaping. If their troops would not have such an idea in the past, they would fight to the end even if they were the last ones, but now it is different, they have not seen their enemy , the casualties have already reached this level, they must live, this is their idea, what is the idea of ​​defeating the enemy, they dare not even think about it, once they have the first one, they can immediately have the second one, They were all scared, and many of them didn't even know how to dodge. They all got on their horses and were about to run, but the snipers in the distance would not give them a chance to escape. All the dozen or so mounted horses were shot down, and now There are still dozens of people left, and the group leader still doesn't want to take risks. The husband told them that they can keep a few alive, but there is no need to keep so many. They can still manage two or three people, but if there are so many people, they will not be able to survive. It is impossible to beat them. You must know that these people are much stronger than them without training. After such a long time in the army, it is absolutely effortless to deal with them.

The mortars continued to fire, and there were fewer and fewer people inside. The shelling stopped when there were still three or four people who could stand. The soldiers went up and shot a corpse. At this time, they But don’t dare to be careless, who knows if the people on this planet have good physical strength and can survive a single shot. Anyway, many people on the earth can die with a single shot, and many people here survived a single shot , it may be because of the armor. At the end of the last dozen or so people, the three of them were tied up on horseback and dragged back. They don’t care about the corpses in this place. These are all evidences. Let the troops who came here clean up. They must have these evidences if they want to attack the person in the administrative area. These three people are also prepared for them. The witnesses and evidences are all there. This time it is enough for the guy in the administrative area to have a drink It's over, the Divine Arrow Army is an army that can only be mobilized by the imperial government. Now you ask them to come out to help you with private work, no problem, you are responsible for it yourself. Although His Majesty the Emperor also treats officials very preferentially, but you mobilize the army This is not a trivial matter. His Majesty the Emperor will definitely punish him severely if such a thing happens, and the officials of their line will definitely suffer heavy losses.

Li Cong didn't express how happy he was after receiving their report. A small team of hundreds of people like them can't show anything. Their hard crossbows can be regarded as long-distance attacks, and other The troops still don't know what to do, and it seems that they still haven't got any news. But this time it's pretty good, at least I know what's going on with the ace army in this administrative area. It is already very good to deal with troops with long-range attack power like them.

When the city lord's mansion received the report from the guards who rushed over, the city lord and Suo Ye were both dumbfounded. The more than 300 people of the Archer Army were all killed, and they didn't know what was killed. For the Divine Arrow Army, they will not send troops of hundreds of people. Don't look at it as the city lord's personal guards. These people under him feel lucky, if these divine archers were not killed, it is estimated that after a fight, they and Yi Tiandang's people would have an advantage in numbers. But the final result is definitely a lose-lose. People's magic arrow army is not blown out, the magic arrow is released, and there are no false shots, this is not an empty slogan.

"I really didn't expect this guy to dare to use the God's Arrow Army. It seems that he is really desperate. With just one, I think someone in our administrative district should be able to replace him. What action do we need to take? Is it?" The city lord said in his living room, he was very envious of that seat, but he also knew that if Suo Ye didn't nod, he couldn't get to that seat, but he couldn't get to that seat However, officials who have been promoted step by step can make room for him. The empire also has a regional administrative organization between the provincial level and the county. It can also govern the five counties. If their regional leaders can go up, there is no problem for the city lord to move this seat, so the city lord has this question, although he wants to enjoy it here. It's been a while, but how can you not be jealous if you have a position to climb up. It's just that he can't grasp these things well, it's better for Suo Ye to grasp them.

"Hehe, I think it's hopeless for the master to want this position. There are too many people staring at this position, but our county prince's mansion also gets some benefits. After all, we created this opportunity. I It seems that the chief executive of the region should be able to go to the master's head, but this matter still needs to be operated, and it must be supported by the Jingcheng County Prince's Mansion. It seems that we can't make a profit with this batch of 200 catties of tea. , plus some of our inventory, I think I can give it a go with three million gold coins." Suo Ye calculated the current treasury and some other income, all activities need money, although The county prince's mansion is all his own people, and it's relatively close recently, but what should be there is still a must.

"Everything is up to the boss, as long as the boss can do it." Naturally, the city lord will not have any objections, and his position will not be raised by a little bit. If there is no old man in front of him, then , Maybe the position of the city lord is coming to an end, maybe I can't keep this position, there are quite a few idle nobles like him in the family, and there are many people who want to become a city lord. He also has to be careful with it.

Yitiandang soon knew the news, and they were also dumbfounded. They really didn't expect that guy to have such courage. You must know that an army like the Shenjian Army is the cornerstone of the country, let alone him, even if it is If there is no order from His Majesty, the Imperial Army cannot be transferred casually. Of course, chief executives from all over the country generally have their own cronies in such an army. , how can there be any reason to really go up to do things, this time these people not only really went up, but also killed dozens of people on their side, they were all killed themselves, and they were caught alive , the arresters are naturally the guards of the city lord's mansion. Speaking of which, the city lord still has a question, not only him, but all the people in Kahuan County who know about this matter are asking, what is it? The elite Archer Army was killed. The current technology is not so advanced. Even if they found the warhead, they would not be able to research what it came from. They can only judge that these things are hidden weapons. These people can only write the report with doubts. A conical object entered the body and killed them. This is the final conclusion.

This incident also sounded a wake-up call for Li Cong. Although Master Hu is not his friend, this guy has helped him a lot. Moreover, his tea forest is in his area, so Li Cong decided to let Master Hu's eldest son continue to take on this matter. Master Hu's eldest son, Hu Qingshan, knew about his father's affairs. On the day before he left, he didn't want to let his father go. Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened. Their father and son knew sooner or later when they entered this circle. There may be such a day, but I didn't expect it to come so soon. Now they have formed a deep hatred with the guy in the area. They are very cooperative with the investigation of the City Lord's Mansion. For Li Cong's summoning He is also well prepared, he knows that his father's recent windfall was developed by following Li Cong, and he also knows how important it is to follow in Li Cong's footsteps. Compared to Mr. Hu. This Hu Qingshan is more shrewd, and the young people are strong and strong, and there will be no such problems. Originally, Master Hu also thought that he would hand over the seat of the family to this Hu Qingshan in the past few years, but now it is just Just a little early. For Li Cong, there is nothing to lose.

"Sit down, I'm also sorry about your father. I should have told your father not to go back, but your father was worried, so he went back." Li Cong said sadly. It was a friend of a few days, Hu Qingshan nodded. He was indeed very sad about his father, but he didn't blame Li Cong. After all, although this matter has something to do with Li Cong, this relationship is what many people want. It should be blamed on those people in the area who did not play cards according to the rules and caused his father's death. Now he has spent a lot of money to find many good players Yes, even if they encounter the Archer Army again, they will be able to resist, and they will not be slaughtered.

"Mr. Li. This incident can be regarded as a wake-up call for us. We must have our own team in the future. I don't know who helped us this time to achieve such a result. But next time They may not necessarily come to help us, and our current escort team simply cannot resist some external dangers." This kid is also very discerning, and he saw the crux of the matter immediately, in fact, Li Cong also I don’t want my own people to show up. After all, what’s going on is still unclear. This time, the situation is really critical. It’s impossible to wait for the support of all parties. Next time, such a thing can still be avoided. , It is better not to arouse the ideas of others, especially the high-level empire.

"You're right. Is there anything you can do about this? I'm at a loss about this." Li Cong thought for a while and said, that is Master Hu's territory over there, and he is one of them. It is better to let the people over there find a way to strengthen the defense.

"I have a preliminary plan. This is the information of Fuwei Escort Bureau, the largest bodyguard agency in our area. They can also undertake some escort work. I just spent 200 gold coins to hire three of their bodyguards to protect it. My security, although their fees are a bit more expensive, but their work is very good, I discussed with their escorts, they will send hundreds of people to provide us with security work in our place, we Over there, they are organizing a 4,000-strong guard to listen to their command, which is basically enough. Take the attack of the Shenjian Army as an example. They said that if this system can be organized, they can resist it. "Hu Qingshan has done some things very well, and what he said at the moment is also straightforward.

It turns out that the bodyguard bureau in this place is not just about transporting things, it even does some security work. Isn’t this the security company of later generations? It is the largest bodyguard agency in the country. It can be said that some things in the past are rarely missed, but it is a good choice. The fees for more than a hundred of them are not low. They charge 5,000 gold coins every month. It is 60,000 gold coins, which is not a small amount in the eyes of everyone. Take Mr. Hu as an example. In the past, he only paid hundreds of thousands of gold coins a year, and he was asked to spend half of the money to make He definitely can't afford this, but Li Cong has a lot of money. Thousands of gold coins for a month, and if you get a discount for a year, you will need 80,000 gold coins, because this kind of security work can be said to have never been sold since they were launched. This is too expensive, and no one can afford it. Hu Qingshan didn't say anything. In Li Cong's view, there is no difference between these 60,000 gold coins and 80,000 gold coins. Li Cong approved the plan.

"That's it, 80,000 gold coins are nothing to us now, but this security can't be a problem, tell them, we must ensure the security of our production base." Li Cong told Hu Qingshan that security is the most important.

"Don't worry, Mr. Li, as long as we abide by the law and don't conflict with the state apparatus, they will have no problem." Hu Qingshan said some other things and went back. Now he wants to carry out this security plan is also very important . He also didn't want anything to happen to his lair again. The younger brothers and sisters in the family don't know what happened at the moment, and there are a lot of things in the family that he is responsible for. He can be said to be the busiest.

The power of Imperial Palace and Yitiandang is indeed very powerful. Under their cooperation, this matter was quickly exposed. Even the boss of the chief was dumbfounded. He really didn't expect this guy's son to be such an idiot. The most drastic measures were taken before the matter reached that point. Even if the most drastic measures were used, he couldn't just go there That's right, isn't this just looking for trouble for yourself? Now no one dares to talk about your old man's affairs.

In just three days, the news from the imperial capital came back, and His Majesty the Emperor was furious about it. According to the imperial law, the chief executive was dismissed because of negligence, and the boss of the Changshi Mansion was the protagonist. He was directly sent to the frontier by speculators, and the young master who released the direct order was even beheaded for public display. In fact, if this was not the case, they would directly destroy Li Cong's base, and then return to the provincial capital according to their route If so, it is another ending. First of all, Li Cong will definitely suffer heavy losses, and the forces who paid the money will never just let it go. They will definitely ask Li Cong to get the money back. They have always taken advantage of it over the years. It's time for others to take advantage, and they will all be on the same starting line because there is no such thing as tea, and there will be no gap between them, so their faction will not fail in the subsequent struggle, but now The matter was exposed, and they had no choice but to serve in the army as an honest knife frontier.

Li Cong chatted with Suo Ye for a while before he knew what was going on with their upper echelons. Although some things in the city of Kahuan County did not affect the upper echelons, there were still fights, just like the city lord and Chang Shi. The opposition between the two is actually not the reason for the two of them. Even the fact that His Majesty hates the nobles is a superficial phenomenon. The real thing is that the top people of their faction support different princes, although the imperial law stipulates that The eldest son inheritance system, but the inheritance of the throne has not followed this rule for many years, but the emperor asked many people below to use this method in order to stabilize his rule. The palace below is stable, but the palace is still It's not very stable.

Now the crown prince is the eldest son of His Majesty the emperor, and he is also the most powerful prince. He has been the crown prince for nine years. It is absolutely impossible to say that he does not have some power of his own in his hands, and the county palace is The forces on their side, except for the crown prince, every dynasty will have several powerful princes. The boss of the Changshi Mansion's boss, the dean of the Government Affairs Council, supports the second prince, and Yitian is the boss behind the scenes. The eldest princess supports another prince. It is said that Yitian would not cooperate with the prince's people, but the profit of this thing is too big, so big that it can surprise people. In front of them, their union is very simple and easy.

As long as there is a problem with the second prince's people, the people in the Prince's Mansion will be the happiest. This matter was also revealed by them. Not only did they receive the expected results, but many people in the Prince's Mansion also gained from this change. I don’t want to talk about the big ones, but the small ones are just like the original city lord. Although he is still serving as the city lord, his main official position is not the city lord anymore. He has already become a city lord. One of the five surrounding counties is the general manager, and the five surrounding counties are responsible for him. He will leave here to work in the regional capital until the new Kahuan county city lord comes out. Of course, To get this seat is not just because of his meritorious deeds. There are quite a few people who look at this seat in their faction, but it is no problem for Suo Ye to operate it. Suo Ye can't leave here, but Suo Ye's The two cronies brought Suo Ye's autograph and the gold ticket of two million gold coins to the county palace and handed it over to the prince. It should be impossible for two million gold coins to buy this seat, but once this matter comes, it is his fault. He made it out, and he has done a lot of meritorious service recently because of the tea problem. This seat was given to his cousin, not to mention that this cousin is not in any danger, so this seat came to him.

After he left, Li Cong was thinking about the position of the city lord, but it was impossible for Li Cong to become the city lord as a commoner. The relationship between Master Suo and the others, when Li Cong asked for this county seat, the city lord agreed without even thinking about it, let alone a county magistrate, even if the county magistrate Li Cong wanted it, it would be no problem. With experience in government departments, it is good to try a little this time. As for the seat of the city lord, Li Cong also wants to fight for it. He can't get it, but he has to find a good boss for himself. Cui Changsheng is one It’s a good choice. If it wasn’t because of his report at the last moment, everything might be destroyed. Generally speaking, the city owner is a nobleman, and the long history is a member of the government, but it is not absolute. In many places, there are two The official position is for one person, so Li Cong greeted Cui Changsheng, and he had to handle the rest by himself.

The seat of the city lord of the county can be said to be determined by the people in the upper area. Now that the original city lord has become the leader of the area, he has this right. If Li Cong was not white, he would have given this seat to Li Cong. It's just that when Li Cong proposed to let Cui Changsheng be the man, the city lord immediately drooped his face. Among other things, the grievances and grievances of the past ten years are not so easy to resolve. . . )

the s
