Gu Xiling is collecting various information, but because she is pregnant, the speed is a bit slow.

She wanted her master and senior brother to come to Qingshui County, but she didn't know where these two people had gone.

In the evening, Zhou Jin had been busy outside all day, so the maid poured water for Zhou Jin to soak his feet.

Gu Xiling massaged Zhou Jin's shoulders and asked, "Husband, do you have any plans now?"

Zhou Jin replied: "Yes, there will be big moves soon."

"What action?" Gu Xiling was stunned, "I thought you were going to wait!"

Zhou Jin replied: "Of course we can't wait. If we don't take the initiative, the crops I planted won't grow at all and will be destroyed by bandits."

Zhou Jin had to keep it a secret, but there was no need to hide it from his wife.

However, he was also worried about the secret leaking, so Zhou Jin put his hand next to Gu Xiling's ear and whispered to her that they wanted to capture all the bandit leaders in one fell swoop.

Gu Xiling was surprised and gave a thumbs up. "It is indeed a good idea to capture the leader first. Only when they are in chaos, it will be a good time for us to take action."

Zhou Jin nodded. "The upper class is in chaos, and the people below are demoralized. It's only a matter of time before they fall. After our high-yield crops of corn and sweet potatoes are harvested, those who want to live a stable life and are dissatisfied with the bandits will automatically return to the land."

Gu Xiling nodded, "Yes, since my husband knows what's going on, I feel relieved."

Gu Xiling was worried at first, but now she is not worried anymore.

Now is different from the previous life.

In his previous life, he followed Xie Jin to Yunzhou, offended his superiors, and was banished to Qingshui County.

Isolated and helpless, one has to plan everything for the best, just like walking on a tightrope, one has to be cautious at every step and cannot afford to be careless.

What now?

After two years of experience, Zhou Jin has become much more down-to-earth and steady.

He is very intelligent and is very thorough in looking at and dealing with problems.

With His Majesty's arrangements, Zhou Jin has the means and the backing, so taking over Qingshui County is just around the corner.

Gu Xiling rest assured and take care of her pregnancy.

After experiencing repeated failures, Xie Jin has become much calmer during the period of mourning and is not as extreme as he was in his previous life.

Gu Xirong's "dream prophecy" was of no use here. She became much more obedient and stayed at home to take care of her husband and children.

Xie Jin did not rely on Gu Xirong. Instead, he managed the two city gates in a down-to-earth manner and did a pretty good job.

Qingshui County has been very busy recently, with many people coming to the county government to register, and Yuan Zhen and Wang Shiwen are very busy.

As for Zhou Jin, he went out of the city every day to farm and build water conservancy projects, and he was working hard outside the city.

The bandits who were out to gather information from all directions continuously sent back all the information they had collected.

The bandits were taking action, and Jin Linwei was also taking action.

Meng Jue received accurate information and put all the medicinal powders in a safe place.

In addition, Jin Linwei also told him that in addition to his previous subordinates, he now has another helper.

That is the boy named Chen Liu beside Hu San. If necessary, we can exchange secret signals.

The other party will trust him unreservedly and complete various tasks.

Meng Jue, the seventh in command, took note of it and paid special attention to it.

The boy following Hu San is very scheming and always obeys Hu San's words.

Hu San was very prestigious in Heilongzhai because he had a good sister who gave birth to the boss's only son.

Although Hu San's followers are not favored by the bosses, they are very successful among the middle and low-level bandits.

Meng Jue smiled. No wonder he was noticed by Jin Linwei and even killed Brother Hu with his own hands. He was indeed a talented person.

He will be of great use later!

Jinlinwei learned about the water source of Heilongzhai through Meng Jue. The people guarding here were the ones the boss trusted the most.

Jin Linwei killed all the dozen people guarding the water source, then disguised himself as these people and poisoned the mountain spring water three days ago.

People who came to fetch water were very careful and tested it carefully, but no toxicity was detected.

The water in the village can be used for two days at most.

Therefore, the poisoning started three days ago, which was enough to poison everyone who came to Black Dragon Village.

The day before the meeting, everyone arrived.

The next day, the most powerful bandits in Qingshui County were sitting on twenty-seven chairs around the long wooden table.

Tea had just been served in front of these people, all of which were high-quality tea looted from the caravan.

Steaming hot, with a lingering fragrance.

"Boss Black Dragon, what do you want from me?" The Black Tiger Village has a good relationship with the Black Dragon Village. The village was built by Black Dragon's cousin.

Seeing his brother starting to set up a stage for him, Heilong smiled and said, "I asked all the brothers to come here to discuss how to deal with the county magistrate."

Hei Hu frowned, "Brother, why are you still hesitating? There are only a few thousand dog officials, and we are a hundred thousand brothers. Are you still afraid of the county magistrate?"

The leader of the Wild Wolf Village shouted, "Yes, Brother Black Dragon! If an enemy comes, we will fight him with our own army; if a flood comes, we will block it with earth! We were able to make the two county magistrates die with regrets before, and now we can kill the new county magistrate!"

"We have so many brothers, we are not afraid at all! If one comes, we will kill one, if a pair comes, we will kill a pair! We have more brothers than the border troops. If we fight down there, we will fight if we can win, and if we can't win, we can run to the mountains! In the mountains, we are the masters of the forests, and those officers and soldiers are no match for us at all!"

"That's right, Big Brother Black Dragon, we are not afraid! No matter what happens this time, we can't let the county magistrate grow those crops, otherwise many brothers will want to farm and don't want to be bandits with us!"

Many bandits knew that life was not easy because they had fewer wounded troops.

However, as the boss, they can enjoy the spoils first and even exploit the bandits below. Of course, they don't want their brothers to lose their loyalty.

If you want to win people's hearts, you need not only money and food, but also tough measures.

Killing the new county magistrate and those soldiers would make everyone give up the idea of ​​returning to being ordinary people.

Black Dragon said in a deep voice: "Brothers, what you said is actually what I want to do in my heart! But this time the dog official is different from the previous ones! You may not know who the county magistrate is, but you should have heard of the names of the county magistrate's grandfather and father."

When Hei Hu heard this, he quickly asked, "Brother Long, what is this person's background?"

Black Dragon replied: "County Magistrate Zhou Jin, his grandfather is the God of War, Old Changning Marquis Zhou Yu, and his father is Changningkou Zhou Ze. He has now been promoted to the Minister of Rites, a first-rank official!"

"If Zhou Jin died in Qingshui County, do you think that with Marquis Changning's temper, he would let us go?"

"It's true that the border troops can't do anything to us, but if the Marquis of Changning and His Majesty mobilize an army of 100,000 or 200,000, can we brothers still resist?"

Not everyone received the news in a timely manner, and many people knew that the county magistrate had come to Qingshui County.

The leader of Black Dragon Village sent people to various places to tell them not to harass the team attacking the county magistrate.

I originally thought that the leader of Black Dragon Village was timid, but now it seems that is not the case.

If the county magistrate died in Qingshui County, Your Majesty and Marquis Changning would definitely find a way to plow the land of Qingshui County three feet deep and kill all the inhabitants without leaving a single one alive.

Hei Hu's expression changed drastically, "Brother, according to what you said, the dog official cannot be killed!"

The others nodded as well, but they didn't have the courage either.

"Brother Black Dragon, you are our leader, we will do whatever you say!"
