When Han Zhan's team arrived at the east gate of Sheguo County, there were already county officials outside the gate who had received the news to greet him. When there were more than twenty steps away from the crowd, Han Zhan turned over and dismounted and walked forward with Zhao Yun's companion.

A man wearing an official uniform and beard walked out of the crowd, bowed respectfully to Han Zhan, and said, "Hua Hu, the chief clerk of the county in Sheguo, has seen the envoy."

Although the chief clerk had the word "tiger" in his name, it sounded like a general, but he was deep and broad-eyed and thin. If he had added a pair of round-frame glasses, a melon-skin hat, and a folding fan or a hookah in his hand, he would have been the Shaoxing master of later generations.

Before coming to Sheguo County, Han Zhan had learned about the situation from Tian Feng and knew that the order of Sheguo was abandoned by the seal and the county magistrate. Usually, the county magistrate was dealing with the matter. At this moment, he saw that there was only the chief clerk but no county magistrate in the crowd to greet him. He couldn't help but ask, "Chiguru Hua, don't know where the county magistrate is?"

Hearing Han Zhan's question, the muscles on the head clerk's face twitched violently, and then replied: "I don't know that in the middle of last month, a yellow turban attacked. The county magistrate and the county magistrate took five hundred county soldiers out of the city to fight, but ended up being ambushed by the other party. Less than one hundred county soldiers fled back, and the county magistrate and the county magistrate were all lost in the chaos."

Han Zhan was shocked to learn that the county magistrate and the county magistrate were both killed in the battle with the Yellow Turbans, and then asked: "Since the county magistrate and the county magistrate have all died, why not report it to Jizhou in time?"

Hua Hu sighed, and did not answer immediately, but turned sideways and made a request: "I'm tired all the way, so please go back to the county government to rest first."

Han Zhan, who was about to continue asking questions, heard Hua Hu say this, and guessed that there must be something in his heart, which was not convenient to say in public, and he needed to go back to the county government and talk in detail.

Instead of riding a horse, Han Zhan followed Huahu and his group and walked into the Sheguo County. When he saw the city wall, his heart suddenly became half cold. The walls were only ten feet high, and the walls in many places had cracked and felt that they would collapse at any time. He really couldn't imagine how long such a city wall could last if an army came to attack the city.

After entering the county government office, Zhao Yun directed people to move their luggage to the backyard, while Hua Hu accompanied Han Zhan to the county government office hall, asked him to sit down after the table in the middle, and began to introduce the situation in the county.

After Hua Hu introduced the current situation of the county, Han Zhan couldn't help but feel that he was really as Tian Feng said, the land was barren and the people were poor, and there were also bandits and Yellow Turbans to rebellion. The bandits he wiped out yesterday were not ranked in the list of bandits recorded by the county government.

After introducing the situation in the county, Hua Hu also introduced: "The county magistrate and the county magistrate died in battle. The subordinate officials have reported it to the prefect of Wei County. As for why he did not inform Jizhou of this matter, the subordinate officials are not clear."

Thinking that before he took office, the county magistrate and the county magistrate had already died in battle. It seemed that the bandits and the Yellow Turbans in the surrounding mountains were difficult to deal with. But before taking the clearance action, he had to figure out his strength before he could make targeted deployment: "Chief Hua, how many soldiers and horses are there in the county?"

"I died in battle last month, and there were about 400 county soldiers who fled." Hua Hu replied: "But Xiaguan has recently recruited some again. Now there are 700 county soldiers in the county, and there are about 2,000 people who can be summoned at any time."

Two thousand soldiers said too much, but not too much. It might be enough to defend the city. But if it was used to clear out bandits and Yellow Turbans, it would be too difficult. Han Zhan thought that the positions of county magistrates and county magistrates were missing, so it would take at least one or two months to wait for Yuan Shao to arrange a new candidate for him. However, it was obvious that he could not wait that long, so he could only find another way.

Han Zhan looked out of the court and saw Zhao Yun leading several soldiers, carrying several large wooden boxes and about to walk towards the backyard. He quickly shouted: "Zilong, come to me!"

When Zhao Yun entered the main hall, Han Zhan introduced to Hua Hu: "This is Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong, the Marquis of Qujun, and a native of Changshan, and is the descendant of the King of Nanyue." The reason he introduced this was because he knew in his heart that a good family background could effectively improve a person's status. Otherwise, why did Liu Bei say that "Bei is the descendant of the King of Jing of Zhongshan" every time he protects his own family.

His introduction was indeed immediate. Hua Hu put away the look of reticence on his face, but instead saluted with his hands, saying respectfully: "It turns out that it was the descendant of the King of Nanyue, and Hua Hu had met Zhao Junhou."

Zhao Yun quickly returned the gift: "Yun has seen the flower master."

"Chief of Hua," Han Zhan and others finished their greetings, looked at Hua Hu and asked, "I want Zilong to temporarily take over the position of county magistrate. I wonder what you mean?"

Hearing that Han Zhan planned to appoint Zhao Yun as the county magistrate of Sheguo, Hua Hu instinctively wanted to dissuade him, saying that doing this was not in accordance with the rules, and the county magistrate had no right to appoint the county magistrate or county magistrate. But when he said that when he said that the county magistrate was nominally under Wei County and under Jizhou, but here he was a high and far away. The county magistrate was a local emperor. Some of the prefects of Wei County and the governor of Jizhou were not working here. He made up his mind and said respectfully to Han Zhan, the future "local emperor", "Since the envoy thinks that the Zhao army is suitable, then the position of Zhao army is temporarily taken, and there is no objection to the subordinate officials."

The three of them were talking in the main hall, and suddenly a noise came from outside, and then several people in short brown broke in. Seeing that the people were rushing in as if no one was around, Han Zhan couldn't help but frown, thinking that what did the yamen runners in the door had done, and they actually let a few people come in like this? Fortunately, it was the people. If the assassin came, he might have lost his life in the lobby.

Several people knelt in front of Hua Hu, shouting to ask the chief clerk to make the decision. Hua Hu smiled awkwardly at Han Zhan, who was sitting behind the table, and shouted to the people: "My fellow villagers, this is the new national order. If you have any injustice, you can declare it to him."

As soon as Hua Hu finished speaking, several people turned their target to Han Zhan again, and kept shouting, making his head big. Han Zhan slapped the table hard, and heard a loud "bang" sound. The noisy people were startled and immediately quieted down. However, Han Zhan's palm was also numb. He thought that he would make a gavel another day so that it could be used for trial.

Han Zhan saw clearly the four men and one woman kneeling below, pointed his hand at them and asked loudly: "Tell me, what is the matter? I need this envoy to decide for you?"

"Mr. Envoy." A middle-aged man in his forties said, "My son-in-law has been infected with something evil. Today, he will divorce my daughter for no reason. Please be the master and don't let him divorce his wife."

"Master Envoy, Master Envoy." Another young man immediately answered: "The owner of the villain works in the wine house. Today, the owner wants to wear a long robe to congratulate him. Unexpectedly, when he returned home, he saw that the villain's best clothes were broken by his wife. Please make the decision, and the villain must divorce his wife today."

"Where are the clothes?" Han Zhan and the young men asked immediately after they finished speaking.

"Here." The young man quickly stood up and prepared to hand a robe in his hand to Han Zhan, but was stopped by Hua Hu. After Hua Hu glared at the other party, the young man obediently handed the robe to Hua Hu, who put the robe on the table.

Han Zhan checked the robe. There was a hole the size of a thumb on the sleeve. He did not immediately express his opinion, but asked the young woman kneeling below: "This girl, tell me, why did you break your husband's robe?"

"Reply to the envoy," the woman said cryingly: "When I was washing clothes by the river today, I touched the hard things on the sleeves of my husband's robe. I thought it would be lumps of earth, or something, and I thought it would be like a few taps with a stick, so I used extra force when knocking. Unexpectedly, after a long time, not only did I break the lumps of earth, but I damaged the clothes. Then the I found a copper coin on my husband's robe's sleeve."

"Why didn't you check it carefully before washing the clothes?" Han Zhan continued to ask.

The woman wiped her tears and explained: "The husband has never had money on her body, so the slave thought it was a lump of earth."

As the woman told the story, the case had already come to light. Han Zhan threw the robe in front of him to the man and said in a stern tone: "Your wife is an unintentional mistake and has no major mistakes. I am not allowed to divorce you."

As soon as the verdict was made, the woman and her relatives hurriedly kowtowed to Han Zhan and said gratefully: "Thank you, thank you, thank you. The envoy's great kindness, the villain will never forget you."

The woman was satisfied with Han Zhan's verdict, but the man raised an objection: "Sir, the villain's clothes were broken by the wife. What should I do?"

"Zilong," Han Zhan turned his head and ordered Zhao Yun who was standing aside, "Go to the backyard to find a robe from my official to compensate him."
