The best county magistrate

What enters your body late at night may not necessarily be sleepiness, and what shines on your face in the early morning may not necessarily be the sunlight.

Butterfly took the silk handkerchief beside her and wiped her face, rubbed her cheeks, and put on clothes for Yang Xuanchen with a little resentment.

"Damn it, will it be okay for you to go back now?"

Yang Xuanchen laughed and patted her hips, "Nothing will happen. I have the final say at home!"

Butterfly twitched her little mouth, obviously not believing what he said, and by the way, she also pushed away his strange claw that turned from slapping to touching.

"You really have to wait until I'm eighteen?"

The sudden question caught Yang Xuanchen off guard. Looking at her resentful eyes and her face full of reluctance, he sighed softly.

"Don't worry, there's a long way to go. I drank a little last night and I'm not in the right mood."

"Hmph! I saw you were in pretty good shape this morning, but I didn't see you actually do anything, you damn bastard." Butterfly complained.

Yang Xuanchen gave her a hug and said softly, "You are still young. This will affect your development. When you are eighteen, I guarantee that you will not be able to get out of bed!"

"Bah! You dead thing, hurry up and leave. If you don't leave now, the three of them will come and kill me." Butterfly said coquettishly and pushed him out of the door.

Looking at the receding figure, she leaned against the door panel, not knowing what she was thinking, but her cheeks were flushed with a beautiful blush.

When Yang Xuanchen returned to the mansion, the three women had not yet woken up.

He secretly said that this was a close call, then quickly went into his room, lay down on the bed and took another nap.

It was not until the sun was high in the sky and Jiang Li came to visit that he reluctantly got out of bed.

"Master Xiao Yang, I have something to trouble you with..."

This was the first time that Yang Xuanchen saw Jiang Li looking so embarrassed, and he couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the matter of the Five Cities Military Department was more difficult to handle?

We are just recruiting some urban management officers. With so many people in Beijing, is there no one signing up?

This is an opportunity to eat the emperor's food. The Southern Court should be crowded at this moment, and Jiang Li will not have time to come to his house at all.

"Brother Jiang, what's the matter? Is it difficult to recruit people from the Five Cities Army?"

Jiang Li sighed upon hearing this, "Yes and no, it's hard to explain. That's why I came to ask you for help."

"Brother Jiang, you are joking. But what is the matter? One person is short-sighted and the other two are long-sighted..."

Hearing what Yang Xuanchen said, Jiang Li naturally stopped being polite, "At the beginning, the recruitment went smoothly, and many people came."

"But something is not right these past two days. A lot of people have come to the East and West Cities. I asked Shen Baoren to check the family backgrounds of the shortlisted candidates as usual. Guess what happened?"

Yang Xuanchen's eyes shone, and he blurted out, "Are those people gang members?"

Jiang Li nodded, with a look of helplessness and anxiety on his face, "Yes, brother, you guessed right."

"In the beginning, we did receive a lot of responses from the people, but in the past two days, the gangs in the East and West Cities seemed to have sensed something and sent people to sign up."

"The people in this gang have complicated minds. If we let them infiltrate the Five Cities Army, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble in the future."

Yang Xuanchen frowned. The Wucheng Bingmasi, a department equivalent to the Urban Management Department, will play a vital role in the future.

If too many outsiders infiltrate, it will become very difficult to control.

I originally wanted to let Jiang Li play freely, but now it seems that if I don't get involved, something will inevitably go wrong in the future.

"Brother Jiang, this matter is indeed difficult."

"Almost every gang in the capital has one or more high-ranking officials as their protection umbrella."

"If gang members infiltrate the Wucheng Bingmasi, they will not only undermine the discipline of the team, but may also become tools for their manipulation and infiltration."

"We must act cautiously to ensure the purity of the Wucheng Bingmasi." Yang Xuanchen said in a deep voice.

Jiang Li sighed, his eyes full of worry.

"I know that, but the situation is urgent now. The Five Cities Military Department urgently needs to expand its manpower. If we don't recruit these people, I'm afraid it will be difficult to cope with the increasingly heavy security tasks."

Yang Xuanchen was silent for a moment, then rubbed his chin for a while, "Brother, please wait a moment. I will send someone to call the eldest prince over to discuss matters together."

Jiang Li looked at him with suspicion, thinking that it was useless to call the eldest prince for this matter.

However, seeing that he made such a serious proposal, Jiang Li didn't say anything and just waited to see what he would say.

In less than half an hour, Zhao Yanli brought Chen Ergou to Yang's Mansion.

The two of them had just arrived at the study, thinking that Yang Xuanchen had something to tell them, but they didn't expect Jiang Li to be there too, and they were all stunned.

Chen Ergou was so shocked that his eyes widened. Jiang Li was the prefect of Shangjing City, and his Black Dog Gang had many dealings with the government before. It would be a lie to say that he was not afraid.

"Lord Jiang, what brings you here?" Zhao Yanli seemed very relaxed and even greeted him.

This made Chen Ergou even more shocked. What was Zhao Yun's identity? How could he be so humble when talking to the prefect?

Jiang Li turned around and saw that it was the eldest prince. He wanted to stand up and salute, but then he remembered that Yang Xuanchen had just reminded him that the current eldest prince was named Zhao Yun, courtesy name Zilong, and was the fourth in command of the Baihua Society.

He was just slightly stunned for a moment before he stood up and greeted him with a smile on his face, "Oh, it turns out to be Master Zhao Yun, what a coincidence."

"Cough, cough." Yang Xuanchen pretended to cough twice.

Jiang Li immediately retracted his expression and almost messed up his performance. He really needed to practice his acting skills.

"Zilong, and Ergou, come and meet Lord Jiang."

"Zhao Yun, Chen Ergou greets Lord Jiang." They said in unison.

After a few people exchanged pleasantries for a while, Yang Xuanchen cleared his throat and said, "Master Jiang, these days Zhao Yun defeated the Iron Hammer Gang in West City and incorporated the Black Dog Gang in South City."

"This guy is very good. Take a look at the recruitment of Wucheng Bingma Division. Would you consider Baihua Club?"

I Zhuo, what the hell? People from the Hundred Flowers Society can become members of the Five Cities Army?

Zhao Yanli widened his eyes, somewhat unable to believe what Yang Xuanchen meant.

Chen Ergou beside him was extremely happy at the moment. He had only come here for one day and would soon be able to eat the emperor's food.

There must be smoke coming out of the ancestral grave at home. I will definitely go there to burn more paper money when I go back to pay tribute to the spirits of my ancestors in heaven.

"Hmm?" Jiang Li looked at Yang Xuanchen with suspicion in his eyes.

Didn’t you just say that if gang members get into Bingmasi, there would be problems? Why did you change your tune now?

Oh shit, that’s not right. Zhao Yanli is the eldest prince. The people under the eldest prince are from the imperial court. How can this be a gang!

Thinking of this, Jiang Li looked deeply at Yang Xuanchen who had a smile on his face.

No wonder you called the eldest prince to discuss the matter. So this was your idea.

Since the eldest prince is involved in this matter, it will be much easier to handle!

Thinking of this, Jiang Li raised the corner of his mouth, "Since Master Xiao Yang has spoken, and the Hundred Flowers Club has a good reputation in South City, I wonder what Master Zhao thinks?"

Zhao Yanli glanced at Yang Xuanchen with an inquiring look, as if asking: What's going on, should I nod or shake my head?

Seeing him nod imperceptibly, Zhao Yanli understood instantly, "Lord Jiang is too kind. The Hundred Flowers Society is able to serve the court, which is a blessing we have earned in our previous life."

"The Wucheng Military Department is now recruiting new personnel. In fact, we have wanted to bother Lord Jiang for a long time."

"It's just... it's just that the Baihua Society is a gang after all, and we didn't have the confidence before..."

Jiang Li waved his hand and didn't let him continue. Instead, he laughed it off and said.

"What's wrong with the gang? The Baihua Society is not one of those dark forces that cannot see the light of day. Hua Qianxue and the other three, plus Master Zhao, are all citizens of Dayan."

"The entire Baihua Society is law-abiding, and everyone has some skills. They are exactly what the Five Cities Military Department is short of."

As he spoke, he took Zhao Yanli's hand and said with a smile: "Come, come, Mr. Zhao, follow me to the Southern Courtyard..."

Then he turned around and glanced at Chen Ergou, "Agou, right? Go back and bring everyone to the Southern Court. This matter is settled today!"

Chen Ergou was stunned for a moment, then his excitement was written all over his face, "Yes, yes, I'll go back and tell Master Hua right away!"
