For a time, Huaiyang County was filled with blood. In addition to the patrol camp, even the two thousand garrison troops suffered casualties. Five or six families, large and small, that were involved with the Ji family were wiped out.

The people of Huaiyang County applauded and fired cannons to celebrate. The local emperor who had caused trouble for many years finally fell. The people of Huaiyang County had long hated it.

In the past, Xiao Zhengye and Zhou Jingyao had always turned a blind eye for the sake of the stability of the state. Without Chenyue's courage, and many generals in the border army were involved with these families, now the new Wuguan army has

It was brought out by Chen Yue single-handedly, and there was no obstacle to its use. The two of them were determined to fully support Chen Yue.

It took three months to completely complete the military reorganization in Liangzhou. Whether it was the officialdom or the military, a top-to-bottom purge was carried out. Those who confessed could be dealt with lightly as appropriate, and those who resisted could be killed!

Under Chenyue's iron-blooded methods, the official atmosphere in Liangzhou has completely changed. Corrupt officials are no longer rampant. Patrol camps and other garrisons in various places have also been streamlined and have considerable combat effectiveness.

While people everywhere raised their hands in applause, they also secretly nicknamed Chen Yue: The Iron-faced Killer.

In the governor's office of Liangzhou, Zhou Jingyao and Xiao Zhengye looked at the briefings on Chenyue's inspection of various counties in the past three months. They couldn't help but shook their heads. Zhou Jingyao said: "Well, the officialdom is hard to get rid of. The problem has existed for a long time. If it weren't for Chenyue,

Yue's methods are so fierce this time, I'm afraid the two of us still don't have the determination to rectify the officialdom! The title of the Iron-faced Killer is really bluffing."

Xiao Zhengye smiled helplessly: "What do you want me to do? Some of them even fought alongside me. The old man from the Ji family in Huaiyang County was already an infantry colonel when I first joined the army.

, speaking of it, he is also a person who has made meritorious service to the country. It is a pity that he will not be saved in the evening."

As a border gate, Liangzhou has many more people joining the army than the other states in the Central Plains. Basically, there are only a few captains in any county. Everyone fights the enemy together on the battlefield. Over time, the families behind them also form interests in the local area.

Chains, several forces combined with each other through marriage and other methods, even the Liangzhou government did not dare to act rashly.

"Having made meritorious service is not an excuse for their illegal crimes!" Chen Yue said coldly from the side: "The soldiers in front of me fought in bloody battles and sacrificed their lives for the country. These people in the back rely on the shadow of their ancestors to dominate and prosper, and the common people are fishy. Now,

If we don't punish them, sooner or later, the army will be rotten, and then my backbone in Liangzhou will collapse."

Zhou Jingyao and Zhou Jingyao looked at each other and said: "You, you are right, but the commotion has been too big, and even the Ministry of War has issued a document, which generally means that it is almost enough. But it's okay, you are so killing.

Once Liangzhou's officialdom has been clear for at least thirty years, I wonder who will dare to bully the people."

Xiao Zhengye also nodded: "You did a good job. We don't mean to blame you. On the contrary, you can be regarded as relieving our worries."

In fact, it's not that Xiao Zhou was unaware of the following issues, he just didn't take action due to various reasons.

"Okay, let's not mention this matter. As long as the people of Liangzhou live a better life, I don't care whether they kill gods or not. Sirs, I have a private matter." Chenyue changed the subject and suddenly smiled.

said.

"Oh? What's the matter?" the two asked curiously.

"I'm getting married, and when the time comes, I'll invite the two adults to show their respect and have a meal at home." Chen Yue said happily.

Xiao Zhengye immediately became interested: "Oh? I've long heard that you have a childhood sweetheart in your hometown, and now they are finally getting married. Don't worry, the hero of Liangzhou said, we will go no matter what! I'm afraid that countless girls in Liangzhou will want their hearts.

It's broken, haha!" Zhou Jingyao also nodded with a smile.

A few days later, Chenyue went back to his hometown in person to bring several elders and Ling'er to Liangzhou. The Liangzhou Deputy General's Mansion specially gifted by the imperial court was located on a quiet street in the east of the city, just away from Xiao Zhengye's General's Mansion.

It's not far. There is no need for a few old people to stay in Xiaoshi Village all the time. When they come to Liangzhou Chenyue, they can always have someone to take care of them.

Several old people walked into the deputy general's mansion. They had never seen such a big house in their lives. They looked around, their eyes full of joy, and they kept saying that their children had a future.

Ma Ling'er also brought a girl here from Xiaoshi Village, named Xiao Qing. She always regarded Ma Ling'er as her sister and they had a good relationship. Because Xiao Qing's parents died of illness and her brother also died in the war outside the customs, Ling'er took her with her.

Come over here, it would be nice to have someone to take care of you.

Chenyue happened to have no objection. There was nothing wrong with having multiple people at home to take care of him. Besides, he was often in the army, so Ling'er also had a companion.

After the family settled down, they began to arrange the marriage. Xiao Shangwen led three hundred soldiers to arrange the interior and exterior of the general's mansion, making it very lively.

At this moment, Chu Yucheng also came back and brought back a girl.

"Brother, this is Zhou Zihan. I often mentioned it to you. Come, Zihan, you have met my eldest brother and sister-in-law." Chu Yucheng stood aside with a smile, pointing at Chenyue and Ma Ling'er and said.

"I've met my eldest brother, I've met my eldest sister-in-law." Seeing Zhou Zihan's good-looking face, she bowed to Chen Yue and Chen Yue a little shyly. After all, she was born in a wealthy family. She had received good etiquette training since she was a child, and she was very good at saluting.

Pretty decent. Speaking of it, except for Xue Leihan, the rest of Chenyue's group came from a humble background. Seeing that they were so serious, both Chenyue and Chenyue were a little embarrassed. Ma Ling'er quickly stepped forward to help her.

Started: "Sister, don't be so polite, get up quickly."

It turned out that after Chu Yucheng returned, he first went to Yuelu Academy to meet his mentor and some classmates. Then he went to Zhou Zihan's home in Yuezhou. Zihan was still waiting for Chu Yucheng bitterly at home. It turned out that the Zhou family really

I didn't like Chu Yucheng very much, and I disagreed with the marriage in every possible way, but I heard that Chu Yucheng had already reached the fourth rank of officialdom at a young age, and he wouldn't marry his daughter because of her fault. There was no other way, so the two elders in the family had no choice but to agree.

.

So Chu Yucheng came to Liangzhou with Zhou Zihan. Chu Yucheng felt that he had no relatives. As for the people he was close to, Chenyue, as the eldest brother, should be the closest to him, so he had to let his eldest brother meet him before getting married.

.

Chen Yue winked at Chu Yucheng and said with a smile: "You brat, after waiting for so many years, your dream finally came true, haha, don't treat this girl badly."

Chu Yucheng rolled his eyes and straightened his neck: "You don't seem to be telling me the same thing. I talk about my sister-in-law all day long, and my ears are almost calloused!" Chen Yue was thick-skinned anyway, so he didn't refute, and just said hey to Ma Ling'er.

A smile.

The two women stood aside, their faces flushed, and they ran away amidst their laughter.

"Since you're back, let's arrange the wedding together, right?" Chen Yue suddenly had an idea.

"So urgent?" Chu Yucheng was stunned.
Chapter completed!
