After Zhao Yun left, Xu Buyi finally dismissed his servants and fell asleep against the bed.
He was already severely injured and had not yet recovered. This exchange of Zhending County with Zhao Yun had consumed a lot of his energy and mental energy. Now that no one was disturbing him, he naturally had to take a good rest.
On the other side, Zhao Yun quickly left. He arrived at the County Yamen Hall and had Zhao Laosan gather all the officials within the County Yamen.
Due to the fact that he single-handedly swept through the Mount Feng Loong, Zhao Yun still had quite a bit of prestige in the Zhending County. Hearing Zhao Yun's call, the officials within the County Yamen quickly gathered at the main hall.
When they entered the lobby, they found that Zhao Yun was already sitting where County Magistrate usually sat. In front of him, there was a copper stamp on the table; it was County Magistrate Zhen Ding's big one.
"I believe everyone knows about the news of County Magistrate's assassination."
While talking, Zhao Yun's gaze swept across everyone. He didn't find anything abnormal, so he nodded and continued: "County Magistrate needs to rest up.
Therefore, during this period of time, I will temporarily take over County Magistrate Zhen Ding's position. I hope that all of you will do your best to take care of the Zhending County well together with me. "
"I will follow County Magistrate's orders!" Hearing Zhao Yun's words, all the officials in the hall spoke in unison.
Zhao Yun nodded and then looked at Zhao Laosan. He said in a deep voice, "Third Uncle, I will trouble you to lead the city's garrison troops into martial law. As long as people enter or leave the city, they must be strictly investigated and must not be neglected."
This was Zhao Yun's plan from the moment he heard that Xu Buyi had been assassinated. Even if he didn't temporarily take County Magistrate Zhen Ding's place, he would have issued an order with his identity as County Lieutenant to strengthen the city's vigilance.
Before, he still had some scruples, but now that he was in charge of County Magistrate Zhen Ding's seal and had Xu Buyi's endorsement, he naturally issued such an order without any hesitation!
Zhao Yun was very clear about Zhang Jiao's purpose. Now that the Taiping Road suddenly made a move on Xu Buyi, Zhao Yun was not sure if it was because Zhang Jiao wanted to test Xiao Tian's reaction, or if the people under the Taiping Road were disobedient to Zhang Jiao and wanted to fish for benefits.
But no matter what the reason was, to Zhending County, it was not an easy matter to resolve. If one was slightly negligent, it was likely that their Zhending County would fall into an irreparable trap.
Especially since Xiao Tian was not in the city now, if anything happened and Zhao Yun was alone, it would be hard to guarantee that the citizens of Zhending County would be safe and sound.
Therefore, even though Zhao Yun knew that the martial law of the city would lead to complaints and even panic, he still gave out such an order without any hesitation.
"Zi Long, don't worry. Third Uncle has a sense of propriety." Zhao Laosan nodded his head with a serious expression.
He had been learning under Zhao Yun and Xiao Tian for three years. Although Xiao Tian had never taught him alone, but he was not too shy when teaching Zhao Yun. Thus, Xiao Tian knew a lot of secrets.
Zhao Laosan was also well aware of Zhang Jiao's ambition, so he immediately understood the reason behind Zhao Yun's order to impose martial law throughout the city.
Zhao Yun nodded. He was quite confident in Zhao Laosan's work.
After that, Zhao Yun turned his gaze to the others and said in a deep voice, "I know that you all don't understand my order and are even against it, but I ask that all of you cooperate. As for the reason, when the time comes, all of you will naturally understand!"
