Although there were wars all around, and the rebel army was also unfavorable, this did not affect the prosperity of Xindu at night.

As the state governance of Jizhou, an authentic king-level city, Xindu is the top point in terms of area, population, and prosperity, and the entire Huaxia District is also Chang'an and Luoyang (Luoyang before Dong Zhuo's rebellion) can stabilize Xindu, and Xindu has the strength to compete for the title of the most prosperous royal city.

Like the modern metropolis in reality, the metropolis in the beacon can be called a city that never sleeps. All sorts of magic means replace electricity and drive the modernization of a city.

Although it was already more than nine o'clock in the evening, the bustling neighborhood was still full of tourists and noisy.

In the inner city area, in a luxurious and majestic mansion, a person who looked like a butler was bending down and reporting to another man: "My lord, more than ten local big families such as the Xin family and the Shen family have jointly sent invitations, inviting adults to a banquet and jointly congratulating your lordship on your ascension. ”

As he spoke, the butler took out a gilded invitation from his bosom and respectfully presented it to the general.

"Xin Ping? Matching? Ben has never crossed paths with them, so why did he suddenly invite me? ”

The military general was a little confused, and couldn't help but ask in a rhetorical voice.

The housekeeper laughed twice and said respectfully: "My lord, this trial and Xin Ping are not liked by the state pastor, and your lordship, you have just replaced General Zhao Fu and are in charge of the defense of Xindu, and you are being trusted by the state pastor. ”

The military general nodded when he heard this, and then frowned again: "The lord doesn't like Xin and the two of them, Ben Jiang has just taken over the important task, it's better not to go to this banquet, you will refuse on behalf of Ben General!" ”

Hearing this, the housekeeper bent his waist deeper: "My lord, according to the villain's opinion, you might as well go and have a look." ”

"Oh? Why? ”

"Your Excellency, you have taken on a heavy responsibility at the beginning, although you have the trust of the state pastor, but the defense of Xindu is complicated, and you still need the support of these families. If you refuse to go to the banquet, it may be detrimental to your future career.

Furthermore, what the state pastor doesn't like is Xin and Xian's matching, not Xin's and Xian's. To put it irreverently, even if it is the state pastor, he has to give the Xin family and the Shen family three points of face......"

"Shut up!"

Before the butler could finish speaking, the military general immediately snorted coldly and interrupted the next topic.

The steward immediately shut up and pleaded guilty.

Although he scolded the butler on the surface, the general's expression was obviously a little hesitant. The Xin family and the Shen family, as the leaders of the local Jizhou wealthy families, have influence everywhere, not so much that Han Fu ruled Jizhou, but that the major wealthy families pushed Han Fu to the forefront.

Although Han Fu was very jealous of the trial and Xin Ping, and dismissed them all, he was full of shadows of major families in Jizhou, from the county guard, the chief general of the first army to the county government officials, and the army squadron leader.

Taking Xindu as an example, there are a total of 2.4 million troops stationed in Xindu, which are divided into 36 town guard captains, and there are nine commanders above the 36 school captains, who are in charge of different jurisdictions, and then there are town guard generals.

It turned out that the town guard general was Zhao Fu, and this military general was the town guard general who succeeded Zhao Fu - Han Zhe.

Han Zhe is Han Fu's kindred (non-historical general), and he was Zhao Fu's deputy before, and it can be regarded as a means for Han Fu to check and balance his subordinates. Han Zhe was well aware of the huge influence of the major families in Jizhou.

As far as Han Zhe knew, four of the nine generals were from the Jizhou family, and one of them was a member of the Xin family. Although the remaining five generals are not from families, most of them are inextricably related to the wealthy families.

As for the officials at the level of the town guard captain, they are almost monopolized by the family. offended the family, Han Zhe had Han Fu as a backer, and he couldn't successfully control the Xindu army.

After thinking for a moment, Han Zhe said, "It's okay, prepare a gift for Ben and go to the banquet." ”

After speaking, Han Zhe explained with some unease: "Send an order to Han Yi and let him be more vigilant." Recently, the world has not been balanced, and Ben General has just taken over as the general of the town guard, but he doesn't want to make a small trouble. ”

Han Yi is Han Zhe's deputy, and he is also Han Fu's relative.

Without a trustworthy right-hand man, Han Fu could only promote his relatives to key positions in large numbers. It's a pity that there are no amazing and glamorous people among Han Fu's relatives, most of them are mediocre talents, and they were forcibly promoted to high positions, and they don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse.

Seeing that Han Zhe agreed to go to the banquet, the butler unconsciously showed a smile on the corner of his mouth, and bowed down and said, "Yes, the villain will go and prepare!" ”

In order to move Han Zhe to the banquet, the Xin family bribed a whole box of jewelry, and promised that there would be a heavy thank you after the matter was completed.

The housekeeper thought beautifully.

Half an hour later, Han Zhe boarded the carriage and left the town's guard general's mansion under the escort of a team of personal guards and went to the banquet.

Not to mention how Han Zhe feasted with a group of high-ranking officials of the family for the time being, and said that after Han Zhe left, Han Yi immediately took on the heavy responsibility and replaced Han Zhe on duty.

Han Zhe had just taken over, not to mention that Han Yi was just Han Zhe's assistant.

All kinds of cumbersome things made Han Yi's head bigger, and it seemed that tonight was particularly unsmooth, and bad luck poured into his head.

First of all, a shop unfortunately went into the water and ignited most of the block, and the raging flames reflected half of the sky. And the general in charge of the block was also on the Xin family's invitation list, and the people below directly reported the situation to Han Yi.

Because the fire was so fierce, Han Yi had to send troops to extinguish the fire.

The fire has not been extinguished, and then there was a tragedy in Xicheng District, and the bold Inhuman bandits relied on their strength to loot a silver trumpet, and killed hundreds of people from the shopkeeper to the work.

Han Yi hurriedly dispatched a team of elite soldiers to arrest the bandits.

The troupe that performed the tiger show somehow allowed several tigers to escape unexpectedly and bit the owner of the theater to death. The onlookers were terrified and fled, and because it was night, there was serious chaos.

Han Yi once again dispatched troops to restore order.

……………………

Similar things happened one after another, making Han Yi anxious, just solved a large-scale brawl of soldiers caused by prostitution, Han Yi didn't have time to catch his breath, and news came: a town guard captain punished a wrong general during the day, the general held a grudge, took advantage of the night to sneak into the camp to kill the town guard captain, and instigated a mutiny.

Although the mutiny was quickly suppressed, this matter was too big for Han Yi to handle. On the one hand, he went to the scene in person, on the other hand, he sent someone to contact Han Zhe and ask Han Zhe to come back to preside over the overall situation, and on the other hand, he sent someone to inform Han Fu.

Just when Han Yi rushed to the scene of the assassination, a team with few personnel but extremely strong combat effectiveness had quietly hidden in the inner city, and the leader of it was Yuan Shao, the guard of Bohai County!
