The gate of the town government office has been completely sealed, and many heads on the wall are shaking, observing what's going on outside.
The "rumble" sound coming from the horse's hooves hit everyone's hearts like a drum, making their hearts beat nervously. As the horse's hooves got closer and closer, their hearts beat faster and faster, nervously trying to escape from their throats.
The eyes are squeezed out!
Where did they really fight?
I thought Mr. Xie summoned them here to deal with some kind of thieves.
As a result, what are we facing now? It’s the cavalry! It’s the real cavalry!
Xie Yanwu also looked nervously at the rush of people outside.
"It's over!"
He couldn't help mumbling to himself.
He originally thought that as long as he defended the town government, he would still have some thoughts. After all, he was the representative of all the squires in Qingcheng Town and was elected by the squires. His power did not entirely come from the county magistrate and the county government. As long as he resisted
After this wave of impact, I have room for maneuver!
But now, if the cavalry directly presses the border, where is the room for him to resist?
Several arrows were shot out crookedly, unable to penetrate the armor of the cavalry.
The thin gate of the government office was no different from paper in front of the cavalry's iron cavalry, and it almost burst through with a single punch!
Everyone rushed in, with swords hanging in the air. With just a few rushes, they had already eliminated some people who were not smart enough and were stubbornly resisting and rushing forward.
"The new mayor has arrived. Surrender without killing!"
Liu Qiang roared loudly, swung his long knife, and the blood beads dropped, which suddenly broke everyone's defense line. In an instant, everyone was kneeling down and begging for mercy.
Everyone was driven to the corner, kneeling on the ground facing the wall.
Ren Pingsheng pulled the reins, and the horse paced forward, walking up to Xie Yanwu, the only one still standing at the scene: "Mayor Xie, what else is there to say now that things have happened?"
"Mr. Ren, what a trick!"
His fists were shaking a little, and his face couldn't help but tremble a little, but his mouth was fine and firm.
"A good man is being ridiculed, a good man is being bullied, and Ren is doing some good business. Why does Mayor Xie insist on provoking me?"
Ren Pingsheng slowly drew out the long sword hanging on the horse's back.
The sword, as clear as water, reflects the sun in the sky and shines on Xie Yanwu's eyes, which is very dazzling!
"Mr. Ren, you will be the king or the bandit. The position of mayor is with you. There is no need to meet with swords."
Xie Yanwu finally cherished his life. When he saw the other party's actions, not only his body softened, but his mouth softened as well.
"Isn't it Sir Xie who wanted to hire a murderer to kill me on Tenglong Mountain? At this time, you said there is no need to use swords against each other?"
Xie Yanwu saw a sarcastic smile on the other person's face.
He suddenly understood that it was not that the people in Tenglong Mountain were unreliable, but that the people in Tenglong Mountain were simply named Ren!
His whole body suddenly became tense, and sweat dripped from his forehead: "My surname is Ren, you can't kill me. I am a squire from Qingcheng Town, the head of the Xie family...Wu Qing!"
Before he finished speaking, the tip of the sword had already been sent into his heart. He only felt a severe cramping pain coming from his heart. The words were forever stuck in his throat and could no longer be vomited out. He held his hands tightly
The blood flowing from both hands dyed the sharp blade red.
The tip of the sword was retracted, and Xie Yanwu fell to the ground, his eyes wide open. Before he died, he was still filled with disbelief about death.
"Take it up."
Ren Pingsheng looked at Xie Yanwu's body.
When he was alive, this man caused him a lot of trouble. But the dead Xie Yanwu looked no different from the wild dog that froze to death on the street.
After getting off his horse, Ren Pingsheng took out the county magistrate's warrant from his arms and handed it to Liu Qiang.
Liu Qiang read out the contents of the warrant loudly, and then hung it on the desk of the town office.
There are many civil servants in the town government. These people are familiar with the magistrate's seal and the magistrate's calligraphy. At this time, they can tell the authenticity at a glance.
Looking at the dead Xie Yanwu in the courtyard outside, everyone was shocked to realize——
The sky in Qingcheng Town has changed!
The cruel method just now has completely suppressed these people.
People looked at the young figure who was already sitting behind the government office desk and under the plaque with the name "Mirror Hanging High", and countless little thoughts surged out of their hearts.
In this world, there will never be a shortage of people who follow the trend.
"I am humbled by Wu Qing, the second shift leader of the town government. I want to pay my respects to the mayor!"
Outside, Xie Yanwu's body is still cold, but inside there are people who have already stepped forward, changed their loyalties to the foyer, and bowed down to pay homage to the new mayor!
"Ruthless? I remember you. Where is the chief?"
Ren Pingsheng asked.
"I'm on duty at the south gate today."
Wu Qing said quickly.
Ren Pingsheng's index finger was ruthless: "From today on, you will be the supervisor."
"ah!?"
Wu Qing was stunned, and when he realized what he was doing, his face was overjoyed, and he knelt down on his knees: "Thank you, Mayor, Wu Qing is willing to work hard for the mayor, even if his brain is on the ground!"
With Wu Qing making a good start, the remaining people almost rushed forward to see the new mayor.
Some people who were still standing in the yamen were directly held down by Liu Qiang's people, and they would be tried later. Those who were close to the mayor would inevitably be jailed; those who had a normal relationship with the mayor would resign from the yamen.
In a short period of time, the town government has changed its surname, at least publicly!
Let’s get the town government up and running first, and in the future, we’ll slowly make changes, and keep building the town government into an iron bucket that water can’t pour into!
"Xie Yanwukong has power, but he only cares about making money and letting power stagnate."
"I want to open up all gambling points, let power operate smoothly, and turn this Qingcheng Town into an iron barrel."
Ren Pingsheng leaned on the back of his chair and looked at the picture of the sun and the moon on the high roof of the town office, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.
Getting to where he is today was beyond his expectation at the beginning.
But having actually come this far, looking at the cautious eyes of everyone in the yamen when they look here, it seems pretty good.
"Liu Qiang!"
Ren Pingsheng looked at Liu Qiang in the Yamen and shouted.
"Be humble!"
Liu Qiang cupped his fists and said.
"The 300 guards of Tenglong Mountain are officially trained as the Qingcheng regiment today, and you are appointed as the deputy regiment company. Tomorrow, you will be in bright clothes and armor, and enter from the north gate with weapons in hand to review in the middle street."
The first thing Ren chose after becoming the mayor of the group training was to show off his force and use his own strength to intimidate the squires in Qingcheng Town, so that his words could be carried out and he would make the first move for the future operation of power.
.
"yes!"
Liu Qiang said excitedly.
For him, this is not only the sword being unsheathed and showing its edge, but also being promoted to an official position, which is the joy of life.
The changes in the town government swept rapidly in all directions. In countless dark corners, there were crowds of people speculating on the changes in the town government.
An undercurrent is surging in Qingcheng Town, as if there are countless green eyes hidden in the darkness, staring at the town government.
