Chapter 64: The Secret Guards of the Pacification Division

Inside Huichun Tower.

Zheng Jun sat in the main seat, and in front of him were the squad leaders and team leaders of various levels among the Black Mountain Guards.

As for the ordinary soldiers, Zheng Jun also spent money to treat them to wine and meat, and they enjoyed a feast.

After all, in the coming period of time, we will need to work together.

'Senior Brother Wang' from the Broken Jade Sect, also known as 'Bo Zhangjiu', a secret guard in the Pacification Office, said that he would use the bandits on the Black Mountain to accumulate military merit for himself. Although there is no news yet, it is only a matter of time.

Therefore, soldiers are still needed to serve.

"Here's to you all!"

All the generals congratulated Zheng Jun in unison, and Zheng Jun also nodded slightly, and also raised a glass of wine. After drinking it all, he said to the generals: "Everyone, alcohol should be banned in the army, but today we are all gathered together, so this is the only glass, don't drink more."

After hearing Zheng Jun's words, all the generals were shocked. After drinking a full cup, they put down the cups and spoons in their hands and started eating the dishes.

"Everyone, what do you think about recruiting soldiers?"

Zheng Jun put down the chopsticks in his hand, tapped the table with his fingers, looked at the squad leaders and team leaders around him, and finally stopped his gaze on the deputy captain Yang Jun.

The squad leader and the team leader are both blood refining warriors, but they are at different levels of blood refining.

But after they heard Zheng Jun's words, they all stopped what they were doing and looked at Zheng Jun at the same time, wondering what Zheng Jun meant.

Could it be that Zheng Dutou is not satisfied with the current share of empty salary and wants to take more?
The team leaders and squad leaders looked at each other in shock.

This new mayor has such a big appetite!

"Reporting to the captain, according to common sense, we should recruit all the good families in the county to join the army. If there are not enough good families in the county, we can recruit good families from other counties in the county." Yang Jun took a deep breath and said to Zheng Jun, "The previous Lin County Lieutenant led the troops into Black Mountain, and suffered heavy casualties. We have replenished the Black Mountain County soldiers once, and the good families in the county have already replenished them once."

"Do you have any ideas, Captain? If you have any ideas, we can discuss them. However, the shortage is too large and we can't..."

The Black Mountain Guards are full-time soldiers, not the militiamen in the strong squad.

The militiamen in the Zhuangban were only under the command of the Zhuangban. There were only about thirty people who were actually the Zhuangban's sergeants. The rest were militiamen serving in the army. They worked on the farm at home in their spare time and transported grain and dug trenches in wartime.

But the soldiers of the Black Mountain Guard need to train day and night.

The first requirement for selection is that one must be of strong physique and meet the entry requirements for blood refining.

Moreover, we not only recruit those with clean family backgrounds, but also those who are ruffians and aggressive and aggressive.

Therefore, these full-time soldiers from all over the country can maintain their combat effectiveness and obey orders during wars.

but……

The Great Zhou Dynasty has been around for eight hundred years.

The interests of various places are intertwined, so it is not a problem to do some manipulation.

The only problem was that Yang Jun was worried that Zheng Jun would take too much of the empty salary, which would lead to a weakened military force and possible chaos.

Only receiving the salary of eighty-eight infantrymen and one cavalryman was the conclusion drawn by the predecessors of the Black Mountain Guards from their experience of eating up the empty salaries. If they received one more, something might happen.

"No, I want to arrange for two strong guards to join the army. In addition, I also want fifty of the remaining seventy places to form my personal soldiers."

Zheng Jun was speechless: Am I just a headman who draws a salary without doing any work in your eyes? !
After hearing Zheng Jun's words, Yang Jun immediately said, "Don't worry, Captain. There is absolutely no problem with this. Just make some changes to the barracks. The captains and captains in the county are all our own people."

Zheng Jun nodded when he heard this, and then he suddenly thought of something and said, "Oh, by the way, there is one more thing. This month's Yixue Pills and Cangqi Pills have not arrived yet, and my three Baojin Pills, please hurry up."

Yang Jun was stunned for a moment, then said: "Please rest assured, I will send it to your house tomorrow."

"it is good."

Zheng Jun smiled slightly, very satisfied.

During the past ten days, he had consumed all the pills and could not even afford the blood-enhancing pills for his brother-in-law Zhou Pu.

New elixirs are necessary to improve one's strength.

I took drugs to level up in the county.

Then, Zheng Jun wanted to inquire about something, but suddenly he saw a boy in brown short clothes pacing back and forth at the door. Although he looked a little suspicious, Zheng Jun recognized him at a glance. He was the contact person of his secret guard of the Pacification Division, Sun Bu.

The other party has been wandering around here, and he must be looking for me for something.

Seeing this, Zheng Jun immediately stood up and said to the captains and squad leaders present: "I'm going to go to the bathroom, you guys continue."

The foremen and squad leaders immediately stood up to see them off. Zheng Jun was stunned when he saw this. Then he waved his hand, indicating that they could just stay here, and then he walked out of the private room.

Sun Bu walked in front, and Zheng Jun followed behind, pretending nothing happened. Just as they passed each other at the corner, Sun Bu pretended to bump into Zheng Jun. At the same time, Sun Bu handed over a porcelain bottle and said in a low voice, "This month's share of pills, from top to bottom, are Qi Storage Pills, Leopard Tendon Pills, and Blood Benefiting Pills. The silver has been placed in the corner of your yard."

"We have been monitoring Cai Xun's unusual behavior recently. Cai Xun has been exchanging letters with the Cai family in Bozhou very frequently recently. He is suspected to be related to the rebellion case of the remnants of the Broken Jade Sect."

Sun Bu finished speaking in one breath without pausing: "There is also County Magistrate Meng Xian. Zhang Heisan has observed that Heishan County Magistrate Meng Xian has been writing letters frequently recently. The person he has contacted is unknown. We need to find out who has been talking to County Magistrate Meng Xian."

After saying this, Sun Bu immediately became extremely terrified. In front of Zheng Jun, he slapped himself wildly and said to Zheng Jun in horror: "I am guilty of death, I am guilty of death! I beg you to forgive me, please forgive me, Chief Zheng."

"nothing."

Zheng Jun also waved his hand, very magnanimously, then went downstairs, went to the toilet for a walk, then returned to the table, eating meat with big mouthfuls, while thinking about what Sun Bu had just said.

The close relationship with Cai Xun should be due to myself.

One is the matter of Canghai Sect, and the other is the matter of marriage proposal.

But what about County Magistrate Meng Xian?
To be honest, if it weren't for 'Sun Bu' suddenly mentioning the county magistrate Meng Xian, I almost forgot the existence of this county magistrate Meng Xian.

Thinking of this, Zheng Jun couldn't help but feel terrified.

What a horrible thing this is?!
The county magistrate is the head of a county and a marquis of a hundred miles!
You can tell by looking at the configuration of the county government.

The county magistrate is equivalent to the prime minister of the county. The county lieutenant is equivalent to the grand marshal of the county.

The chief clerk is equivalent to the county's chief censor.

The Dianshi is equivalent to the Zhongshu Ling.

As for the six departments, they are modeled after the six ministries of Personnel, Revenue, Rites, War, Punishments, and Works!

From this we can see that the status of the county magistrate in a county should be supreme, in line with the identity of the "emperor", the true shepherd of the people on behalf of God!

The only one who could put a check on it was the Pacification Office.

Moreover, the county magistrate's position in the county is even more stable than that of the emperor.

Because there is no one above the emperor, but there is still someone above the county magistrate.

If that's the case, why didn't Meng Xian, the county magistrate of Heishan County, make any moves? Even if Cai Xun is a member of the Cai family, when he came to Heishan County, it would be difficult for a powerful dragon to suppress a local snake.

And even if it was suppressed, it wouldn't be like it is now, with no sound at all.

We really need to pay attention to this.

Zheng Jun suddenly became alert, and after eating some meat, this gathering in the name of "housewarming" ended.

Zheng Jun didn't need to pay the bill, as Deputy Captain Yang Jun settled the bill early and everyone saw Zheng Jun off respectfully.

After Zheng Jun left Huichun Tower, he walked on the road holding the Beirong sword and began to think.

The county magistrate may have a problem, so just go back and ask the people in the county government.

And now, I have to think about the current situation.

[Currently advanced martial arts: Jade-breaking Skill (794/3000), Wave-Walking Blade (3211/5000). ]

Looking at the two advance payment progress numbers written in small ink characters in front of him, Zheng Jun couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

The Broken Jade Skill is a little difficult to repay, but the Stepping Wave Sword is pretty good and can be slowly improved through actual combat.

Especially with the disciples of Canghai Sect, it can even be said that they make rapid progress.

Zheng Jun even felt that after repaying the Shattering Jade Skill, he would most likely be able to enter the 'Lian Gang' stage of the Qi Accumulation Realm.

Now that I have the help of elixirs, I think my cultivation speed will be even faster.

As he was thinking this, Zheng Jun returned to his shabby little house.

Although the county lieutenant Cai Xun gave the Qingshui Gang's branch to Zheng Jun, it was not possible to move in in the evening as agreed in the afternoon. He still had to wait and get ready.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw my sister Zheng Ping and brother-in-law Zhou Pu standing at the door together, constantly looking in the direction of their house, as if they had been waiting for a long time.

"what?"

Seeing this, Zheng Jun hurried forward and said, "Sister, brother-in-law, why are you standing here? The snow has just stopped, don't catch a cold. If you have anything to say, come inside and talk."

"Xiaojun, it's okay."

Before Zhou Pu could speak, Zheng Ping spoke first, and then said: "The county lieutenant came to my sister's house this afternoon and said that he wanted to find a marriage for you. The girl is the county lieutenant's sister..."

Hearing this, Zheng Jun frowned.

Instead of walking your own path, are you going to start walking the path of your only relative?
"Sister, please relax. Leave this important matter to me."

Zheng Jun smiled slightly, asked his sister to go back and rest as soon as possible, then gave Zhou Pu the three blood-enriching pills he had just distributed, and then returned to his room, not taking the matter seriously.

No matter whose job it is, you still have to give your approval in the end.

No matter what others say, it doesn't work.

Instead of thinking about this, it is better to think about how to complete the work of the Pacification Office.

After all, there are rewards for completing the intelligence of the Pacification Bureau.

The Zhenfu Division is very wealthy.

If there is anyone who knows the county magistrate better...

Zheng Jun thought about it and only thought of two people.

The chief clerk was Shen Yunyi and the registrar was Xu Heng.

The two of them have been staying in the county government office all the time.

One of them even has a grudge against me.

Thinking of this, Zheng Jun immediately stood up, took out a package from the bedside, took off his official robe, changed into ordinary black clothes, put on a cloak, put on the "secret guard" mask on his face, and fastened his badge.

After finishing everything, Zheng Jun looked in the bronze mirror and found that he looked a lot like Bo Zhangjiu. He couldn't help but laugh and let out a typical villain laugh: "Hehehe."

After laughing twice, Zheng Jun felt it was appropriate and immediately jumped out of the yard.

Go straight to the yamen of the Pacification Office.

Before you do anything, change your knife.

Using your own knife is too conspicuous.

It would be better to use an imperial sword that is consistent with the status of the Zhenfusi Yamen.

After all, he was the only one in the entire Heishan County who used a Beirong sword.

Although the wounds were similar, the one killed this time was Xu Heng, a Dianshi who was about to be promoted to county magistrate, not Zhao Da and Zhao Er, two minor officials, so it was better to be cautious.
