All officials in Zhuo County obey the county magistrate alone, which makes Su Yan feel the seriousness of the situation.

He is the county magistrate, the ruler of the county!

All the people under him should be headed by him.

But now everyone listens to the county magistrate, doesn't that mean that he, the county magistrate, is completely powerless?

If Su Yan wants to issue a decree or adopt a policy, the people under him may not listen to him at all.

Everyone has to look at the county magistrate's opinion first, and then decide whether to listen to him.

This is basically restricting Su Yan's development and preventing him from showing his hand.

"No matter what, we must find a way to take back power."

Su Yan thought to himself.

If you want to seize power, you have to establish your authority.

With prestige, everyone will respect you and naturally obey your orders.

And this county magistrate is the best example!

"If you want to take action against this county magistrate, you have to find a good reason, and you have to convince everyone."

Su Yan gradually fell into deep thought.

After nightfall, in the backyard of the county government office.

Su Yan thought hard but couldn't come up with any good ideas, so he had to give up temporarily.

Taking out the bottle of marrow cleansing pills rewarded by the system, Su Yan opened the bottle cap.

A faint fragrance came to his nose.

Su Yan turned the bottle upside down, poured the pills into his hand, and a light yellow pill appeared in his palm.

He opened his mouth and swallowed it.

Then the previous warm current surged out of his body again, stronger than before.

This warm current gradually converged to all parts of Su Yan's body, constantly improving his physique.

Bits of black dirt slowly emerged from the epidermis of the skin.

An unpleasant stench followed.

Su Yan frowned, did not move, and still felt the changes in his body.

Until the warm current completely disappeared, he opened his eyes and stood up, and then sat in the bathtub in front of him.

After a bath, the black dirt was finally washed away.

At this time, Su Yan felt the powerful power coming from his body.

"This pill is really magical. It has completely changed my physique."

He exclaimed

"If I am willing to practice martial arts now, I am afraid I can reach the level of those top generals."

Originally, he was already an adult, and his body had passed the best time for martial arts training, and his muscles and bones had already been fixed.

But this marrow cleansing pill changed his physique and laid a perfect foundation for him to practice martial arts.

With his current strength, if he really had to be ranked, he would probably be among the second-rate generals.

It's just that he has not learned the method of long weapons, and he can't fully exert his strength on the battlefield, so for the time being he can only be ranked third-rate.

However, if it is a foot battle, with his master-level basic swordsmanship, the generals below the first-rate cannot fight him

"Come, clean these up."

After saying that, two maids walked in from outside and began to clean up the dirty water that Su Yan had washed.

Originally, there were no servants in this government office.

But when the county magistrate saw that Su Yan came to take up his post alone, with only a book boy by his side, he generously said that he would give him a few maids to serve him.

He said that these were all voluntary to serve him.

However, Su Yan saw that these maids were all naturally charming, graceful, and beautiful. He was afraid that they were not as simple as the county magistrate said.

They looked more like dancers specially raised by aristocratic families to win over others. The purpose of the county magistrate sending these maids was naturally very obvious, which was to monitor him.

This made Su Yan more determined to get rid of him. If this person is not eliminated, there may be no place for him to stand in Zhuo County!

But it is too early to say these now. The most urgent task is to find a way to solve the food problem first.

Only when the food problem is solved can the people trust him and he can have the hearts of the people.

By then, the people below will also see his ability, and no one will say anything if the county magistrate is eliminated.

After returning to the study, Su Yan pondered again.

""Knock, knock! Sir!"

At this time, the voice of the book boy Xiaoyu was heard outside the study.

"Come in."

Xiao Yu walked in and respectfully handed a letter to Su Yan, saying:

"Miss Zou Yu has returned home. The head of the Zou family is very happy and sent a name card, hoping that the young master will go to the Zou family for a banquet tomorrow."

"I understand. You go ahead."

Su Yan nodded, and Xiao Yu left.

He opened the letter and read it, and his eyes lit up.

"It seems that the food problem can be solved now."

Su Yan smiled secretly.

The next day, he took Xiaoyu to visit the Zou family.

At the gate of the Zou Mansion, Zou Zhi, the head of the Zou family, personally welcomed Su Yan.

Su Yan was the newly appointed county magistrate and the top leader of Zhuo County. He was the most important person here, so the Zou family naturally wanted to show goodwill.

And after learning that Su Yan saved his daughter's life, Zou Zhi was even happier.

So there was such a scene

"Master, someone is coming."

A carriage slowly drove over and stopped at the door of Zou's house.

The door curtain was lifted, and Su Yan stepped out with a smile on his face.

Zou Zhi greeted him with a smile on his face.

"I am Zou Zhi, a commoner. I am honored to meet Magistrate Su.

Zou Zhi clasped his hands together and bowed, his expression respectful.

""You are too polite, Mr. Zou."

Su Yan returned the greeting with a bow, and Zou Zhi said,"Sir, please!"

As the head of a county, Su Yan walked in front, and 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.

Because it was about to enter May, and Youzhou was located in the north, it was already a little hot.

Zou Zhi clapped his hands, and a group of singing girls came in and began to dance in the center of the hall.

The singing girls were dressed very coolly, and because of the light gauze, many parts of their clothes were vaguely visible, which made people imagine.

Then, the wine and food were served one by one.

"Magistrate Su, I toast to you!"

Zou Zhi raised his glass first.
