All the officials in Zhuo County obeyed the orders of the county magistrate alone. This made Su Yan feel the severity of the situation.
He was the county magistrate, the leader of the county!
He should be the leader of everyone below.
But now that everyone was listening to the county deputy, wouldn't that completely make him a figurehead?
If Su Yan wanted to issue any decrees or adopt any policies, the people under him would probably not listen to him at all.
Everyone had to first see the county magistrate's opinion before deciding whether they should listen to him or not.
This was simply restricting Su Yan's development, preventing him from using his hands and feet.
"No matter what, we have to think of a way to regain power.”
Su Yan thought to himself.
If he wanted to seize power, he had to establish his might.
With prestige, everyone would respect you and naturally listen to your orders.
And this county magistrate was the best example!
"If you want to make a move on this county magistrate, you have to find a good reason.”
Su Yan gradually fell into deep thought.
At night,
In the backyard of the county office.
Su Yan racked his brains but couldn't think of any good ideas, so he could only temporarily give up.
Taking out the bottle of Marrow Cleansing Pills rewarded by the system, Su Yan opened the bottle cap.
A faint fragrance assailed his nostrils.
Su Yan turned the bottle over and poured the medicinal pill onto his hand. A pale yellow medicinal pill appeared in his palm.
He opened his mouth and swallowed it.
Then, the warm current from before surged out of his body again, and it was even stronger than before.
This warm current gradually gathered to all parts of Su Yan's body, continuously improving his physique.
Specks of black dirt slowly emerged from the surface of his skin.
An unpleasant stench followed.
Su Yan frowned and did not move. He continued to feel the changes in his body.
After the warm current completely disappeared, he opened his eyes and sat in the bathtub in front of him.
After a bath, the black dirt was finally washed away.
At this moment, Su Yan felt a powerful force coming from his body.
"This medicinal pill is truly miraculous. It actually completely changed my physique.”
he exclaimed.
"Now, if I were to practice martial arts properly, I might be able to reach the level of those top-notch generals.”
Originally, he was already an adult, and his body had already passed the best time to practice martial arts. His bones and muscles had already been fixed.
However, this Marrow Cleansing Pill had forcefully changed his physique and laid a perfect foundation for him to practice martial arts.
With his current strength, he would probably be ranked as a second-rate general.
It was just that he had not learned the art of long weapons, so he could not fully display his strength on the battlefield, so he could only be ranked among the third-rate for the time being.
However, if it was Buzhan, with his master-level basic sword technique, even first-rate generals would not be able to fight against him.
"Men, clean these up."
As soon as he finished speaking, two maids walked in from outside the room and began to clean up the dirty water that Su Yan had washed.
Originally, there were no servants in this government office.
However, when the county magistrate saw that Su Yan had come to take up his post alone and only had a servant by his side, he generously said that he would give him a few maids to serve him.
He said that they were all willing to come and serve him.
However, Su Yan saw that these maids were all naturally charming, graceful, and beautiful. It was likely that they were not as simple as the county magistrate had said.
She looked more like a dancer specially raised by an aristocratic family to win over others.
It was obvious why the county magistrate had sent these maids here. It was to monitor him.
This made Su Yan even more determined to get rid of him.
If this person is not eliminated, I'm afraid Zhuo County will no longer have a place to stand!
However, it was too early to talk about this. The most important thing now was to think of a way to solve the food problem.
Only when the food problem was solved would the people trust him and he would have the hearts of the people.
When the time came, the people below would also see his ability. If he got rid of the county magistrate, no one would say anything.
After returning to the study, Su Yan fell into deep thought again.
"Dong dong! Young Master!"
At this moment, Xiao Yu's voice sounded from outside the study.
"Come in."
Xiao Yu walked in and respectfully handed a letter to Su Yan.
"Miss Zou Yu has returned home. The Zou family head is very happy and has sent a name card. He hopes that young master will attend the Zou family banquet tomorrow.”
"I understand. You can go."
Su Yan nodded and Xiao Yu left.
He opened the letter and his eyes lit up.
"Looks like there's a way to solve the food problem.”
Su Yan secretly laughed.
The next day, he brought Xiao Yu to visit the Zou family.
At the entrance of the Zou Residence, Zou Zhi, the head of the Zou family, personally welcomed Su Yan.
Su Yan was the newly appointed county magistrate and the head of Zhuo County. He was the most powerful person here, so the Zou family naturally had the intention of showing their goodwill.
Moreover, after finding out that Su Yan had saved his daughter's life, Zou Zhi was even happier.
Hence, this scene happened.
"Master, they're here."
A carriage slowly drove over and stopped at the entrance of the Zou Residence.
The curtain was lifted and Su Yan stepped out with a smile on his face.
Zou Zhi walked over with a smile.
"I am Zou Zhi. Greetings, County Magistrate Su.”
Zou Zhi clasped his hands and bowed respectfully.
"Family Head Zou is too polite."
Su Yan cupped his hands in return. Zou Zhi turned his hand and said,"Sir, please!"
As the leader of the county, Su Yan naturally walked in front while Zou Zhi followed behind.
In the hall, Su Yan sat on the left while Zou Zhi and the Zou family sat on the right.
The banquet officially began.
It was almost May, and Youzhou was located in the north, so it was getting hot.
Zou Zhi clapped his hands, and a group of singers walked in and began to dance in the middle of the hall.
The singer was dressed very lightly. Because of the light gauze, many parts of her dress were exposed, making people's imaginations run wild.
Soon after, food and wine were served.
"County Magistrate Su, let me toast you!"
Zou Zhi raised his glass first.
