In just one night, the entire atmosphere of Yangzhou City completely changed.
heavy, depressed, uneasy, frightened
Various emotions are spread in every corner of Yangzhou.
There were hardly many people in the originally bustling market streets. Even if there were people walking by, they would be in a hurry, as if someone was urging them behind.
On the street.
Groups of officers and soldiers patrolled back and forth.
They stared at everyone on the road, and if they noticed anything unusual, they immediately rushed forward and tortured them in various ways.
If you don’t answer well or resist, you will be taken back immediately!
Everyone in Yangzhou city is in danger, fearing that they will be arrested.
In a three-story restaurant.
In the usual noisy place, now all conversations are conducted with caution.
"Have you heard? Mr. Li from the Ministry of Finance is dead! It's such a tragic death. He was stabbed more than a dozen times and his blood flowed all over the floor!"
"Master Wang from the Ministry of Personnel is also dead! But I heard that there was no wound on his body, and he didn't look like he was poisoned. It's very strange!"
"The same goes for Mr. Sun from the Ministry of Rites. He also didn't have a single wound on his body and died inexplicably."
"Dozens of adults were killed overnight. Who was responsible?"
"Hey, I heard someone said that it was Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling who did it!"
"Come on! I know those two people, they are just two little gangsters. How can they have such ability?"
"Of course the two of them don't have this ability, but the people behind them do! I heard that it was not them who actually had the affair with the foreign enemy. The two of them were just a cover for being pushed out. There was someone else who really had the affair with the foreign enemy!"
"Who is this person?"
"I don't know, but many people speculate that this person is probably from the Demon Sect!"
"Magic Gate?"
Someone whispered for a while, and then seemed to think of something and quickly looked around.
Seeing that no one noticed them, they felt relieved.
The terror of the Demon Sect has already penetrated into everyone's heart.
Even just mentioning it can make people tremble with fear.
"Magic Gate?"
Fang Mu smiled softly.
"This scapegoat is quite good. As long as he is the scapegoat, he can just push it away. I guarantee that 90% of people will believe it!"
He sat by the window on the third floor and looked down, seeing a group of officers and soldiers passing by.
The officer leading the team looked up and immediately saw the square wood on the third floor.
His expression changed instantly.
"Let's go!"
"But, we don't have it here yet"
"This place has been searched! Leave quickly!"
"But, sir"
"Obey orders!"
Looking at the cold-faced officer, the soldier did not dare to say more and shrank his head.
The group of people trotted away.
"Huh?"
Fang Mu raised his eyebrows slightly.
After one night, his portrait should have been circulated long ago, and the captain who led the team just now clearly recognized him, but he ran away.
Want to gather more people?
The power of thought swept away.
Fang Mu followed the leader, but found that he had no intention of doing so. He continued his patrol as if he had never seen him before.
"interesting."
Fang Mu smiled slightly, he probably guessed something.
It didn't take long.
A man hiding himself in a hood came to the third floor of the restaurant.
He looked around and found nothing unusual, then quietly walked up to Fang Mu.
"Lord."
"Sit down."
Fang Mu pointed to the opposite side.
The man sat down, raised his head, and showed his face.
It was Wei Chisheng, the general manager of Yangzhou.
"How was it last night?"
Fang Mu asked calmly while drinking wine.
“Very smooth!”
Yuchi Sheng had unconcealable excitement on his face, and he lowered his voice and said.
"Whether it is the Yuwen family or the royal family, their foundations in Yangzhou City have been greatly damaged. In a short period of time, I basically have the final say in Yangzhou City. Next, I only need to place our people in relevant positions, and even the new
Once the appointment is made, it will inevitably be ignored!"
The general manager has certain appointment rights, but for higher-ranking officials, even if their predecessors die, only the court has the right to appoint them.
"very good!"
Fang Mu nodded and asked again.
"Do you have that many men?"
"Don't worry, my lord! I have recruited many young people from poor families a long time ago, and now is the time to use them!"
Yuchi Sheng smiled confidently.
"Although these people are not particularly large, we only need to place people in relatively important positions, and the entire Yangzhou will be under our control!"
"At that time, it doesn't matter even if the emperor rearranges the officials, as long as we are willing, we can eliminate all unstable factors in an instant!"
Rearranging officials is not a simple matter, and it will take at least ten days and a half. In that time, Yuchi Sheng has already turned Yangzhou City into a monolith!
Although officials have the right to issue orders, what is the use of these officials if their subordinates disobey them or even do nothing at all?
"Where are the remaining officials?"
Fang Mu asked again.
He and Yu Wenhuaji, or Yuchi Sheng, all attacked selectively, targeting officials who were loyal to the Yuwen family or the royal family and had relatively important positions.
Some officials who are not that important, and those who are outside the royal family, the Yuwen family and the Yuchi family, are basically fine.
Yangzhou City still relies on these officials to maintain order. If too many officials die at once, the entire Yangzhou City will really be in chaos!
That's not the result they want.
The city of Yangzhou looks chaotic now, but more of it is just that people's hearts are in chaos, and the basic order is still there.
"For those people, I plan to win over some of them. Some people are quite capable. If you want to manage Yangzhou City, they can provide a lot of help." Yuchi Sheng thought for a while and said seriously.
"Can!"
Fang Mu nodded.
"But are you sure you can win them over?"
"Lord, please rest assured!"
Yuchi Sheng smiled confidently.
"He who knows the current affairs is a hero! Now the situation in Yangzhou City is very clear. As long as they are not stupid, they will know what choice they should make is the most correct!"
After a pause, a cold light flashed in the corner of his eyes.
"If they really don't know what is right, then they can only accept the price of their mistakes!"
"Very good! Yuchi, it's okay to cherish talents, but if this talent cannot be used by me, then it will be cut off immediately! It must not be a woman's kindness!"
Fang Mu stood up, walked to Yuchi Sheng's side, and patted his shoulder.
"I will give you three days. If you can completely solve the problems in Yangzhou City, I guarantee that you will become the Lord of Yangzhou!"
"Lord of Yangzhou?"
An astonishing light burst out from Yuchi Sheng's eyes.
