It was night, and the magistrate of Fuyang County carefully entertained Wang Junlin, a peerless murderer, in the mansion. The magistrate of Fuyang County led the county officials and several minor nobles to accompany the guests. There are more than fifty dishes and all kinds of food, and the dancers in the hall are also the most beautiful and the best dancers selected from brothels in the county and the homes of several officials and nobles. Nie Xiaoyu, Liu Ziming, and Li Xuanba dressed as Nie Xiaoyu brought by Wang Junlin were also there.

As the night deepened, Fuyang County magistrates and maidservants filed in with food boxes to serve the crowd.

Wang Junlin has not just come to this world and is not ignorant and uncomfortable. In the past few years, he has been in and out of countless high-ranking official residences in Yongzhou and Daxing City. Toasting at the table, in the eyes of county officials and minor nobles, naturally reveals an inexplicable nobility, coupled with Wang Junlin's illustrious reputation, there is enough majesty in this nobility.

And everyone's attention and mind are on Wang Junlin. Every word he says, everyone will rush to echo and laugh with him, and even every strange change in his expression will make Fuyang county officials and nobles jump with fear , and although Wang Junlin came for Du Ruhui, he didn't deliberately look at Du Ruhui, let alone say a word to him.

At this time, there was the sound of running outside, Shan Xiongxin strode in, handed Wang Junlin a scroll, and said loudly: "My lord, there is an urgent report from Fanyang County. Thousands of pirates have landed on the shore and have broken through Haiping County After wantonly burning, killing and looting, they were divided into several groups and fled around. Ying Yanglang led Xue Li to suppress the bandits everywhere, but the effect was not great.”

Wang Junlin's face suddenly became gloomy, and a faint chill enveloped the entire hall.

In the hall, the officials of Fuyang County and the minor nobles were panicked when they saw this, and some of them thought of Wang Junlin's bloodthirsty in the legend, and couldn't help being afraid. It was almost winter at this time, and although it was a bit chilly outside, the copper stoves in the four corners of the hall were blazing and warm as spring, but the expression on Wang Junlin's face still made everyone in Fuyang County feel the bitter cold.

This Qin Angong has not taken office yet, and this kind of thing happens in the territory under his jurisdiction, and whoever changes it will be in a very bad mood.

"My lord, do you want to speed up the trip and go to Fanyang County as soon as possible!" Liu Ziming said anxiously.

"It's natural, but I heard that Xue Li is quite knowledgeable about military affairs, so he should be able to control the situation and wait for my arrival."

When Wang Junlin said this, the gloom on his face was gone, his face was confident and indifferent, and he even had a smile on his face, which reassured all the Fuyang County officials and the little nobles. But still dare not speak more.

"It's almost winter now, how could these pirates..." Liu Ziming was speaking, glanced at Wang Junlin, his heart moved, and said: "Maybe my subordinates are thinking too much."

Wang Junlin nodded with a smile, but did not speak, thinking of Fan Yang Lu.

More than ten people sat in the hall, but there was no sound. Only Wang Junlin was calm, took a sip of tea, and sighed leisurely: "Fuyang County is less than four hundred miles away from Fanyang County, and not very far from Bohai Sea. You should have heard a lot about pirates. I don’t know what you think about the fact that so many pirates gathered ashore to plunder.”

Everyone in Fuyang County looked at each other, and no one dared to speak for a moment. Wang Junlin then said: "Fanyang County has Zhuo County, Gu'an County, Fanyang County, Changxiang County, Fangcheng County, Rongcheng County, Qiu County, and Haiping County. In these eight counties, do you think that after the pirates plundered Haiping County and divided them into several groups, where should the main force go?"

"It's Fangcheng County!" The others were still thinking, and Du Ruhui, who was provoked by Liu Ziming's experience in the afternoon, had already responded, "After the main force of pirates has dispersed in Haiping County, the first step should be Fangcheng County! "

"Oh! Tell me why the main force of the pirates went to Fangcheng County?" Wang Junlin thought to himself that Liu Ziming was right. Opportunity, now I give him a chance, if he really has the wings to fly high, he will not be silent.

"As far as I know, Fangcheng County is the largest seaport in Fanyang County, and once Fangcheng County is occupied, the connection between the county and the three counties in the southeast of Fanyang County will be severed. If the main force of the pirates did not go Fangcheng County, if you go to another place, there is a danger of being cut off by Fan Yangjun."

The movement of the pirates is easy to guess, if it is on the sand table, it can be seen at a glance. But now there are no maps and sand tables, and to make a judgment, you have to rely on your daily accumulation and extraordinary mental logic ability, and you need to have a pretty good understanding of military and geography.

Wang Junlin sighed in his heart, anyone who can be a prime minister in history is not easy, Fang Qiao and Xu Jingzong have proved this point, and now Du Ruhui is also the same.

"Are you Fuyang County Wei Du Ruhui?" Wang Junlin pretended to be more sure, as if he had just noticed the existence of such a person.

However, it is normal for Wang Junlin to say this. When Wang Junlin was at the gate of the city before, the county magistrate and more than ten officials from Fuyang County who greeted him at the gate all reported their family names. Under normal circumstances, Wang Junlin Write it down wherever possible.

Du Ruhui stood up, and replied respectfully: "Your officer, Du Ruhui, is now Fuyang county lieutenant."

"I have been working as a county lieutenant for several years." Wang Junlin asked casually.

There is a flash of embarrassment in Du Ruhui's eyes. There are many people who are slow to promote, or who have worked in one position for seven, eight, or even more than ten years. The face of the crowd was asked by the legendary Qin Angong, but it was still very hurtful. However, Du Ruhui was able to maintain a calm face all the time, and said: "The official has been in Fuyang County for eight years."

"Eight years." Sure enough, the time was too long, no wonder he resigned at the end, and ran to seek refuge after waiting for his own lord to appear, thinking this way, Wang Junlin suddenly asked again: "What should I do? "

Du Ruhui was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, his spirits perked up, his eyes flickered, he was obviously very happy, but his face remained calm, Wang Junlin was staring at him, all of a sudden, Du Ruhui was shocked His opinion was a little higher, and he was able to hide his emotions and anger in his heart without showing any signs of expression. This kind of temperament in the city really deserves to be the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty who left his name through the ages.

"The lower officials think that the pirates are running around and it is difficult to wipe them out in a short time, but if they can send a large army to destroy the ships the pirates are on, or spread the news, the pirates can gather together again, and then the army can encircle and wipe them out. "

"What if the pirates take precautions in advance and keep their ships away from the coast, and wait for the pirates to bring the looted property to the shore, and then dock to pick up people?"

"As far as I know, there is a navy in Fanyang County, and we can send the navy to deal with the pirate ships, and it should be able to achieve the same effect."

"The sea is vast and boundless. If pirates hide their ships somewhere, the navy may not be able to find them in a short time."

"...It is not necessary to find the pirate ship. On the one hand, let out the news, on the other hand, you can find someone pretending to be a pirate and a navy to fight at sea, and it is enough for the pirate spies staying on the coast to know."

Du Ruhui answered each question fluently, and he could answer every question with just a little thought, which made Wang Junlin very satisfied, thinking that he did not come to Fuyang County in vain this time.
