Chapter 54 The storm is coming!

Seeing that Deng Yang agreed, Hu Boda immediately looked overjoyed. He immediately called the chief clerk to prepare the submission and signed it on the spot.

At this moment, the master of the county government suddenly walked in from outside the door, whispered a few words to Hu Boda with a solemn face, and left in a hurry.

"Director of the fifth channel, I'm sorry. I have a guest here today, and I'm a bit negligent. I hope the director won't be offended."

After the Yamen Master left, Hu Boda's expression couldn't help but change a few times, but returned to normal in an instant, and then he apologized to Deng Yang with an apologetic expression.

"Since the county magistrate is busy, I will not disturb you too much and leave first."

Compared to Hu Boda's attitude, Deng Yang always maintained an indifferent expression. After saying hello, he immediately got up and left with Zhao Jiuniu.

As soon as I walked out of the gate of the county government office, I happened to meet the county government master and three people walking towards the county government office.

Looking at the three figures approaching, Deng Yang frowned subconsciously.

The first person was a young man full of wealth and a cynical look. He was wearing a pure white brocade shawl, and there was always an inadvertent laziness between his eyebrows.

Following behind the young man was a strong man. Although he was just walking with his head down, he was full of energy as he walked, and he had a somewhat commanding and forbidding temperament.

Next to him was a sick Taoist priest.

This man was slender, his steps were sloppy, his face was livid, he had a goatee, and there was always a hint of illness between his brows.

When he walked past this person, Deng Yang clearly felt an extremely unusual cold corpse aura.

"Sir, the old Taoist priest just now is not simple. He is full of evil intentions. I'm afraid he is not an easy character to get along with!"

Not only Deng Yang noticed them, they also had an idea of ​​Deng Yang.

After passing by Deng Yang, the livid-faced Taoist priest immediately whispered next to the young master with a solemn expression.

"I saw it. This old Taoist priest should be the one from Wudao who recently opened a yizhuang in the north of the city. I heard that the barbarian from the Wu family suffered a lot at his hands. He is indeed a troublesome person."

With a faint smile on his lips, the young master in front walked straight into the county government hall without saying anything.

"I have met Mr. Mingfu. I wonder how Mr. Mingfu has considered our proposals."

He had just walked into the county government office and looked at Hu Boda standing in front of the hall. However, the young master was not polite at all and walked directly to the top position and sat down.

"Hahaha, Mr. Zhou is really impatient. Don't be impatient. Don't be impatient. Let's drink tea first."

"Master, hurry up and serve tea."

Seeing the young master sitting majestically on the county magistrate's seat, Hu Boda was not angry, he still looked smiling.

"No need for tea. By the way, the old Taoist priest who was at the gate of the county government just now is from Wutong in Yizhuang in the north of the city."

"Oh, I didn't expect that even Mr. Zhou heard about the name of the leader of the fifth channel."

"I quite admire him. Why don't you introduce him to me someday? My Zhou family would like to offer him a generous salary as a guest minister." The young master is humble on the surface, but deep down, he is always arrogant and superior to others. Even when facing Hu Boda, this kind of arrogance from the bottom of his heart, has not restrained at all.

"It's easy to say, easy to say. If Mr. Zhou is interested, the head of the fifth channel will probably not reject the Zhou family's kindness."

After hearing this, Hu Boda was angry in his heart, but he didn't show it on the surface.

There is no way, the situation is stronger than the person. He is now caught between the local gangsters and Bei Chonghu and others. However, he cannot afford to offend either of the two parties.
Originally, I just wanted to be the puppet county magistrate for a few years in peace, and then find a way to be transferred elsewhere when my term was up, but I didn't expect to be unfortunately involved in this sudden dispute.

He also couldn't figure out why the forces of the Daqian military would suddenly take a fancy to a small border county like Beifeng County. As the county magistrate here, he was naturally involved in it, leading to this unreasonable disaster.

"Okay, let's stop talking. I don't know how Mr. Ming Mansion has considered our proposals."

"Master Mingfu has great righteousness. As long as he is willing to stand on our side, those soldiers must have nothing to do with Master Mingfu."

"Besides, our family is not like that bunch of military men who only use justice to suppress others. As long as Lord Mingfu is willing to stand on our side, when your term of office expires, my uncle will recommend him and transfer Lord Mingfu. Go to Canghai City and assume the position of governor."

"Young Master Zhou should know that although I nominally control the Beifeng County Government, my rights have long been eclipsed by Huang Zhao."

Faced with Master Zhou's promise, Hu Boda couldn't help cursing in his heart, but on the surface he had to pretend to be excited.

But in fact, Hu Boda knew very well that this was just a ploy by several companies in Beifeng County to draw a bigger pie. Even if he was finally transferred to Canghai City, he would probably only be a puppet.

The most important thing is that once I really agree to the three families in Beifeng County, I am afraid that I will never be transferred out of Cangbei in my life, and I will have to become a lackey of this local powerful family in Cangbei.

Although Huang Zhao and his party are not good people, at least they have great righteousness and belong to the military. They are not in the same system as themselves. If they cooperate with them, although they will be temporarily controlled by others, as soon as their term is up, they will be able to escape from this. kind of control.

"Your Majesty Mingfu, please don't betray the good intentions of our family by pushing back and forth like this. In this way, I will give Lord Mingfu some more time. I hope that Lord Mingfu can think about it carefully. Otherwise, don't blame us for breaking the rules." …”

With that said, the young master stood up directly, turned around and left with the Taoist priests and strong men behind him, ignoring Hu Boda's ugly face.

"Oh!"

"These rebellious officials and traitors are really abominable. They dare to persecute this county like this."

As soon as Mr. Zhou and others left, Hu Boda could no longer suppress his anger and slapped the desk hard.

"The county magistrate has been oppressed by these families in the past few years, so it would be better to go directly to Mr. Huang and the others."

"Hey, I don't think so, but the Wu, Zhou, and Ning families have been operating in Beifeng County for hundreds of years. They not only raise private armies, but also have intricate relationships. Especially the Zhou family, which is a branch of the Canghai Zhou family. , how can he be so easy to mess with?"

"Although Huang Zhao has a military background, this is Cangzhou. Not to mention the military, even the power of the imperial court cannot reach here. Just relying on righteousness is of no use."

Speaking of this, Hu Boda also looked helpless.
