The people who came to escort the food arrived in two batches. One group went by water and another group went by land. The people taking the lead are naturally the few people who went back with Zhang Yan last time. They are familiar with each other and are familiar with the situation here, which makes it easier for them to act.
There were a hundred people in the group who came by water. After they broke into pieces and disguised themselves, they took several boats and arrived one after another within three days.
The leader of this group of people is everyone¡¯s acquaintance, Brother Hei.
Seeing them, Ding Xi said with shame: "There must be a lot of grain in Qingyuan County, but we haven't figured out where the grain is hidden yet?"
"Humph, just come to the door and demand it. I don't believe it. This time they dare to do what they did last time. Let's take a few hostages and come back first." Brother Hei said angrily. He had to ask several times this time before Zhang Yan was willing to let him come.
Last time, it was a group of five of them who snatched back the first boatload of food, and later joined Zhang Yan and the others to grab two more boatloads of food. But there were five of them in total, and only four of them came this time. Brother Hei and Xiaosi came from the waterway with their people. Ayi and Abing came overland with another group of people.
Because he was holding back the bad breath in his heart and would not let it out, and he was unwilling to do so. So I strongly requested to come here this time.
Last time everyone came back defeated, not only because of his unwillingness, but how could Zhang Yan give up, so this time they came not only from two teams, but also from another team and brought a confidential list. After suffering this big loss, King An was actually very angry, so he simply gave them a secret order this time. This secret order asked them to find the people on the list, and those who disobeyed would be killed directly.
??The people in power in Qingyuan County, from the county magistrates to Xiaoshi and local wealthy families, all have people from An Wang. It can be said that Qingyuan County has been secretly the territory of An Wang for a long time. Moreover, because Qingyuan County is located in a remote and poor location, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, coupled with the special arrangements for the Anwang family, it has been marginalized many years ago. Gradually, the jurisdiction of the current dynasty has little meaning to it. . It can be said that Qingyuan County is basically in a state of autonomy.
So in the past few years, no matter how chaotic it is outside, it can still maintain normal operation here. It also benefits the people here and allows everyone to live a normal life.
This also shows from another aspect that the people in power here have firmly held this place in their own hands, and they have a vague feeling of a local emperor. It is no wonder that some people have thoughts that they should not have.
King An understood very well that Qingyuan County might not be able to take it back if he didn't show his true intentions. So this time there are two special people coming with the grain escort army. One named An Xiuyuan came to take over the post of county magistrate, and the other named Zheng Du was his adviser. Along with them, there was a team of highly skilled guards specially designed to protect them. It can be said that this is a complete set of county government officials. At the same time, King An also ordered Ding and Xi to stay here to assist An Xiuyuan in his work.
Ding Xi was naturally overjoyed after receiving such an order. They had suffered a lot in Qingyuan County during this period. Those people were cooperative on the surface, but secretly they were playing tricks. If they hadn't been prepared, they might have been killed earlier. He's dead. Therefore, later they simply stopped looking for those big shots, and instead mingled in the market, and then slowly investigated through Cuizhu Village, Luwei Village, and others. After a lot of effort, they managed to get some useful clues.
"So, the three of us brothers will have to stay in Qingyuan County for a long time." Ding Xi said.
"Of course. You two have been here for a few months. It's much better than when we just came here and smeared each other. So, I have to count on you for many things." An Xiuyuan said with a smile.
He is a middle-aged man with a smile, bold and careful, and very skillful. After a while, he became very familiar with Ding Xi and the others. He and his people totaled fifty people, including the cook and several servants, but all of them had average skills. They wanted to stay and take over Qingyuan County. The other group of Brother Hei, also fifty people, were here specifically to escort the food.
Since the other group of people hadn't arrived yet, An Xiuyuan stayed in the small stronghold by the river and only sent a few people to follow Ding Xi.
They went to Qingyuan County to wander around. He himself wanted to go to Luwei Village to see it, but Butler Xie was a good person and kept doing Tai Chi with him, but he just refused to accept the idea. He didn't force it, he just let it go after a few haha's.
Butler Xie has a good impression of An Xiuyuan, but at the same time he also understands that this An Xiuyuan will never be as kind as he looks. He must be a powerful character. King An sent such a person to Qingyuan County, and it seemed that he was in a hurry.
The next day, Butler Xie and Uncle Xie returned to Luwei Village with the three hundred kilograms of salt sent by Zhang Yan.
An Xiuyuan said to Zheng Du, "What does Adu think of Butler Xie?"
&n??praised.
Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. Although An Xiuyuan's method was indeed a bit cruel, it had to be said that it was very effective. Otherwise, it would be impossible to take over Qingyuan County in a short period of time. Thinking about it now, if Mrs. Xie could have shown such courage to kill Xie Yufeng, the young master would have naturally taken over his father's title, and now there would be no need to worry about a new future. However, everything has two sides, and the noble families in Kyoto may not have a good life now.
Although King An is not invincible now, his power is getting stronger day by day. He doesn't believe that the big shots in Beijing don't know anything about it. What's more, many of King An's personal guards were brought from Beijing. Therefore, he is now more confident that King An can win.
Take the small Qingyuan County as an example, King An can send people like An Xiuyuan here. It can be seen that there are many capable people under King An. It is not easy for the young master to stand out among his men. Therefore, he must take good care of this rear area so that the young master and the others have no worries.
