In addition to a garrison palace, Lingqiu also has a county government office.

County magistrate Guo Binchang has already served as county magistrate as Lingqiu. Now as the court has made more and more moves in Datong, he understands that he has been abandoned and has become a scapegoat.

Later, he ignored almost nothing, and just recited poems and wrote calligraphy and paintings every day, which was a way to let himself go.

"It's not good that Dongweng! Something big happened." As the words fell, Master Jia from the county government ran in from outside panting.

Guo Binchang put down the pen in his hand, frowned slightly, and said, "What are you panic? You have been with me for many years. When have you ever seen me panic like this?"

"Yes, no, alas, something happened." Master Jia clapped his palms and said, "Zheng Shou Ge took his personal soldiers out of the city to guard the garrison camp."

Guo Binchang said with dissatisfaction: "It's not the first time he left the city. He hasn't had it before, so what's so strange about this."

I feel dissatisfied with Master Jia’s big trouble.

"This time it's different. The student heard that the tiger flag was going to take away the miners from Dongshan. Zheng Shoujie went to the garrison camp for this reason. Maybe the two sides would fight." Mr. Jia said anxiously.

Hearing this, Guo Binchang's face changed color for the first time and said, "Why did the tiger flag take away Dongshan miners? Dongshan Iron Farm is not good, I haven't heard anything."

"Who knows this? Zheng Shoujie has already gone to the garrison camp anyway. Once the fight really starts, the county town will probably not be able to defend it." Mr. Jia said worriedly.

He had seen the cannon with the tiger flag with his own eyes.

That time, a group of soldiers and horses set off from Lingqiu and headed for Xinpingbao. The team passed by the official road outside Lingqiu County. He was fortunate to see it that time.

But that time, he realized that Lingqiu County could not stop the soldiers with the tiger flag.

Several parts of the city walls around the county town have collapsed. Some mud is used to make it mess with them. The cannons with the tiger flag can be destroyed with one shot. After all, even such a powerful pier fort in Xinping Castle cannot stop a few shots.

Guo Binchang's face changed a few times.

Although he no longer cared about Lingqiu's government affairs, it does not mean that he is willing to die in Lingqiu.

Once Lingqiu is lost, he, the magistrate of Lingqiu County, will be responsible for losing his territory. Even if the tiger flag will not do anything to him, the court will never let him go.

"Dongweng, do you think we should also send troops to the Dongshan Iron Field?" Master Jia asked tentatively.

The county government has three squads of yamen runners, and there are many people in total.

Guo Binchang looked thoughtful.

He walked around the house for a few times, stopped and asked, "Why did you say the tiger flag take away the Dongshan miners? Is it because of something?"

"This," Master Jia thought for a while, then his face turned bitter, and he said, "Where can the students guess it?"

Guo Binchang, who was contemplative, pinched the beard on his chin and said, "There must be something wrong here, otherwise the tiger flag would not even be needed in Dongshan Iron Farm. He only took the miners away. What exactly is it?"

Constant guesses in my heart.

"Is there something wrong that forced the tiger flag to leave Lingqiu? Zheng Shoujie also got some news before he was ready to attack the tiger flag." Master Jia said tentatively.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Guo Binchang's face suddenly changed and he said, "I understand that it must be the court. The court wants to attack the tiger flag, but the tiger flag wants to retreat to Lingqiu."

"The student was just talking nonsense. The court really wanted to attack the tiger flag. Dongweng, you can't have received any news." Master Jia said hurriedly.

Guo Binchang shook his head and said, "It is normal for me to not receive the news. Don't expect it. I have long been the scapegoat in their eyes, and Zheng Shuqi is their own person."

As he said that, he sighed.

What he regrets the most is coming to Lingqiu to be the county magistrate.

No matter what, he was also a Jinshi, because Lingqiu had a tiger-like flag, his lifelong official fortune ended here.

"If the court really wants to attack the tiger flag, it will be a good opportunity for Dongweng to prove his innocence. At this time, he should personally take the yamen runners to Dongshan to assist Zheng Shouge in dealing with the tiger flag." Master Jia said.

Guo Binchang looked at Master Jia with strange eyes.

He was the magistrate of Lingqiu County, but he wanted to assist the garrison of Lingqiu. It was awkward to hear this.

Master Jia saw what Guo Binchang thought and said, "It's already this time, Dongweng, don't care about the distinction between civil and military affairs. If you miss this opportunity, you may not be able to turn around again."

The reason why he tried so hard to persuade Guo Binchang was because he knew that once Guo Binchang was in trouble, his master would not be much better.

Even if you save your life, it will be unlikely to be a master for others in the future.

"Hmph, do you really think that if I go to Zheng Shuqi to lie down, those people will let me go? At this time, no one will save me." Guo Binchang snorted coldly.

He is not familiar with government affairs, but it does not mean that he is stupid, otherwise he would not be able to pass the Jinshi exam.

By this time, he had already understood that no matter what he did, it was useless, because Datong needed a scapegoat to calm the anger of the court.

And he, the magistrate of Lingqiu County, is the best candidate. Whoever makes the tiger flag's nest be Lingqiu?

Master Jia hesitated and said: "Dongweng, as long as you prove that you are incompatible with the tiger flag, the court should be able to see that Dongweng, you are innocent."

"Isn't it okay for others to say it if I'm innocent or not?" Guo Binchang shook his head slightly and then said, "Forget it, I'll count on one day for one day!"

After saying that, he picked up the pen on the inkstone and copied it on the paper again.

However, Zheng Shuqi obviously did not mean to explain to him, but said directly: "Come all of us and follow our official to guard the camp."

The people he mentioned were those subordinates he brought from Tianchengwei.

Outside the gate of the garrison palace, dozens of personal soldiers were quickly assembled.

All of these people were wearing armor, some of them were carrying bows and arrows, and those without bows and arrows also held sharp blades.

Although most people wear cotton armor, the energy and spirit of the body are obvious differences between very ordinary camp soldiers, which makes people see that they are elite soldiers in the army at a glance.

"Follow me to leave the city."

Zheng Shuqi took Zheng Fei and finally walked out of the garrison mansion, came to dozens of cavalry, waved his hand and issued an order to leave the city.

More than thirty murderous cavalry appeared on the street, and the pedestrians on the road hid early.

For the people, if they are killed by these officials and soldiers riding horses, it will be in vain. If they are not done well, they will also cause their families to be affected.

The guards of the city gate were soldiers guarding the camp.
