Chapter 637

The local bandits are rampant in Guide, and the gentry and common people in the city do not cooperate with the Qing army, which makes Wang Jiaping very passive.

The Cuizhulou in the city is the only restaurant in Sui County that has not closed.

In order to break the passive situation, Wang Jiaping asked someone to book a banquet in the restaurant to entertain Balu Zhangjing, and at the same time invited the local gentry to come to the banquet, and tied them to the chariot of the Qing Dynasty.

These gentry and landowners are relatively capable and prestigious people in the local area. As long as they are willing to serve the Qing Dynasty, Wang Jiaping will not be passive in Guide.

Early in the morning, Wang Jiaping asked people to go to the Cuizhulou, told the shopkeeper to prepare a sumptuous banquet, went to the brothel to find some girls, and entertained Master Baqi well.

The shopkeeper of the restaurant is very helpless and unwilling to do this business, but he can't refuse when he comes to the door, otherwise he will definitely be killed by the unscrupulous Tartars and traitors.

When Liu Dashuai governed Guide Mansion, the place was stable, the common people had some spare money, and the business of the restaurant could still be done, but these bastards came, the people were searched, and the green battalion soldiers often came to blackmail, the business could not be done, and the business could not be done. He is not allowed to close down, what a bunch of bastards.

While cursing, the shopkeeper prepared a table of wine and dishes that could still be taken out.

It was night, the Green Bamboo Building was surrounded by the Qing army, Wang Jiaping and Balu Zhangjing sat on the table, and some prominent figures in Sui County sat around the table anxiously, not talking about each other like a mud bodhisattva.

Wang Jiaping glanced at the crowd, stood up, picked up his wine glass, and was about to say a few words, when Balu Zhangjing next to him moved his chopsticks.

This made Wang Jiaping a little embarrassed. If he was an ordinary person, he would have lost his temper, but Balu was someone he could not offend.

Wang Jiaping cursed in his heart, the tartars are so fucking unruly, but he could only greet with a smile on his face: "Zhang Jing is hungry, and this commander is also hungry. Let's eat first, let's talk while eating."

Balu is a second-tier member of the Eight Banners. He was originally outside the pass, and the conditions were relatively difficult. He ate cornbread every day, and his life was not as good as that of a small rich man in the south. Recently, he was transferred to the pass because of the heavy loss of Manchurian soldiers. He has not had time to enjoy the pass. The flamboyant world is just an idiot who has never seen the world.

Seeing the delicious food on this table, Balu naturally let go of his hands and feet and began to eat, his mouth smacked, like a pig eating, which made all the dignitaries present feel contemptuous.

The whole table was almost eaten by Balu, and the others basically didn't move much, even one Juren in Sui County didn't even move his chopsticks.

"General Wang, the dishes are delicious!" Balu Zhangjing was very satisfied with Wang Jiaping's arrangement, and praised in blunt Chinese.

Wang Jiaping immediately apologized, "If Zhang Jing is satisfied, we will eat here every day from now on!"

The shopkeeper who was standing next to him, when he heard this, his legs went limp, and he almost fainted. He regretted that he didn't get some arsenic to poison the gangsters to death.

He still eats it every day, it's really fucking unconscionable.

This time everyone was called here not just for dinner, Wang Jiaping saw that Balu Zhangjing was eating happily, so he was ready to start talking about serious business.

Not long after the Qing army captured Guide, the civil servants had not yet been sent to take up their posts, and the small officials and government servants in the Yamen of Guide's mansion also disappeared without a trace.

Originally, Wang Jiaping was in charge of the army and had no right to intervene in these matters, but now is a special period, and Nikan gave him the power to act cheaply, so he was going to restore the county's team.

One is to pull the gentry into the water, and the other is to get the team together so that he can manage Shangqiu. At the same time, having the squire as an eyeliner also facilitates him to destroy the bandits and rebels.

Immediately Wang Jiaping told the story, and then looked at the crowd and said: "The county magistrate is not qualified to be appointed, but there is no problem in recommending one person to be a county magistrate. Anyone of you who wants to serve the Qing Dynasty should write a letter immediately." A letter of allegiance, Ben sent this to Baylor."

The squires at the table didn't answer the conversation, they all resisted and refused to do it, trying to pass this job on to others.

Being an official is a good thing, but doing things for the Manchus is to be poked in the back.

Besides, Marshal Liu was making a scene outside the city. Seeing Man Qing's behavior, it didn't look like he could last long. No one wanted to do such a thing.

Wang Jiaping saw that these people were evasive, and no one was willing to answer. After waiting for a long time, he suddenly became furious, and suddenly slapped the knife on the table, "Mother, I don't know how to flatter you, and everyone who is sitting today counts as one. Whether you are a county magistrate or a canon historian, you claim it yourself. You deserve it, and you deserve it if you don’t."

As he said that, he cast his eyes on Zhao Juren who was sitting next to him, and narrowed his eyes, "Zhao Juren, you have the highest reputation. If you write a letter of loyalty, you will be the county magistrate."

This Zhao Juren is the leader of the gentry in Sui County. If he is taken down, the rest will be easy to talk about.

Zhao Juren heard this, but his face was upright, and he gave Wang Jiaping a disdainful look, "Zhao is a member of the Ming Dynasty, and if he is not an official of the Qing Dynasty, even if you put the knife on Zhao's neck~"

Before he finished speaking, Wang Jiaping pulled out the knife from the table with a "chuckle", and put it on Zhao Juren's neck.

In an instant, the room became quiet, there was no sound, and the needle drop could be heard. Even Balu Zhangjing, who was eating, put down his chopsticks and stared at Zhao Juren together with everyone else.

The air was suddenly heavy, and the gentry who came with them were all worried about Zhao Juren's safety, and wiped his sweat for him. How could they offend Manqing so straightforwardly?
Before Zhao Juren finished speaking, he stopped abruptly. He raised his hand, his expression remained unchanged, and he blurted out, "Bring a pen!"

Wang Jiaping put the knife back into the scabbard, looked at the crowd viciously, "What about you?"

Many squires are helpless, after all, life is the most important thing, and everything else is false, one can only promise, with a sad face, "We also write!"

"A person who knows the current affairs is a hero, that's right! I have to turn my face, how cheap!" Wang Jiaping looked better, sat down again, suddenly turned his head, and said to the shopkeeper: "Well, what did you call me?" Where's the girl? Why haven't you come yet?"

After hearing this, Baru stopped eating and drinking, rubbed his hands and wiped his mouth, ready to start the next program.

"Wang Zongbing, no one wants to come! They are all sick!" The shopkeeper was about to cry.

"They're all sick? How could it be such a coincidence?" Wang Jiaping was furious, but the matter was important right now, so he had to endure it first.

Not long after, the banquet was over, and all the gentry present wrote letters of loyalty, and took their own errands, and left one by one with a sigh.

Wang Jiaping and Balu Zhangjing also returned to the county government office. On the way, Wang Jiaping said, "Zhang Jing, I see that there are not many unscrupulous people in this city who are against the Qing Dynasty. Every time we go out of the city to encircle and suppress Liu Heizi, someone will tip off the news." .I don't think so~"

Balu Zhangjing was not happy without Gu Liang's company yet, and after listening to Wang Jiaping's words, he became more sober, "What is General Wang going to do?"

Wang Jiaping said: "Liu Heizi is a reckless man with no plans. I am going to send a team out of the city to let him attack, find out where he is hiding, and catch the tipper."

Baloo nodded approvingly, "General Wang, this plan is wonderful!"
