When the people of Xiuyang City saw this scene, they all froze on the spot and stared blankly for a long time. I don't know who shouted "Hello" in the crowd, which immediately aroused the resonance of everyone.
Everyone raised their arms and shouted "Okay!"
Someone even shouted loudly: "Gou Guan! Today is your day too! Kill him!"
"kill him!"
"kill him!"
The people shouted angrily, letting everyone understand how big the problem was in Xiuyang City.
When Xiao Muting passed by Zhou Yanghua, whose neck was held by Xiao Yanli, his face was already pale, his eyes were flashing with fear, and even a military commander and captain's whole body was shaking, and even the chattering of teeth could be heard clearly.
"As a captain of a city, you should fulfill your duty to protect the entire city, and this entire city naturally includes the lives of all the people in the city. But what have you done? You are only protecting a prefect in the city.
Really! If I hadn't ordered you to bypass Xiuyang City at that time, would you have driven the people in the city out of the city gate to fight against my army?" Xiao Muting asked in a deep voice with a cold look in his eyes.
"I'm... I'm an official... I'm... no, I don't dare!" Zhou Yanghua said with a guilty conscience, unable to speak clearly.
Xiao Muting rolled her eyes at him: "I am not interested in hearing your quibbles here. It is best to confess truthfully. I only like people who tell the truth."
"I will confess truthfully!" Zhou Yanghua could no longer stand and collapsed to the ground.
Fortunately, someone helped him, twisted her arms behind her back, and escorted her into the city gate.
The officials who came to greet him were so frightened that they dared not speak out. However, there were also a few officials with low official positions who looked at Xiao Muting who was sitting upright on the horse with joy in their eyes.
Xiao Muting raised his fingers behind him, and immediately two officials in court uniforms rode forward.
"You two adults, go directly to the prefect's Yamen and take over everything in Xiuyang City. If anyone blocks it, take it directly. You have the right to handle it without reporting it!" Xiao Muting nodded to them.
"I would like to obey the order of King Chen!" After saluting, the two men urged their horses to head towards the city gate. Behind them, there was a group of two hundred Xuanjia officers and soldiers following.
This posture also made those officials dumbfounded. It seemed that Xiuyang City had really changed its owner.
At this time, I heard Xiao Muting say: "All the former officials in Xiuyang City listen to the order. If there are people related to Liang Zhijie and Zhou Yanghua, it is best to go to the prefect's Yamen yourself and surrender to the newly appointed prefect to confess the crime. The time limit is only tonight.
, after tomorrow's hour, I will carry out a comprehensive arrest of the guilty person who is lucky enough. Unless he has the ability to escape back to Long'an Kingdom, otherwise, there will be no possibility of survival in my territory!
"
These people were shocked again. Before they could recover, Xuanjia officers and soldiers had already stepped forward and pushed them into the city.
After entering the city gate, Xiao Muting jumped up from his horse, stood on the city gate wall, and said majestically: "People of Xiuyang City, listen up, this king is Xiao Muting, the Chen King of the Holy Qin Kingdom. From now on,
Xiuyang City has been assigned to the vassal territory of the King of Sheng Qin. You will be the people of Sheng Qin from now on. I also knew what kind of life you lived in the past before entering the city. You don’t need to be afraid.
, I will not let what happened in the past happen again. Today, I will replace all the officials in Xiuyang City. If you have any grievances, you can go to the prefect’s Yamen to file a complaint tomorrow. I will definitely give justice to all the victims.
!”
"Thank you! Your Highness, King Chen!" The people shouted in the city.
"Now everyone go back home. I am here to say 'I'm sorry' to everyone for being frightened and troubled today. This kind of thing will never happen again in the future!" Xiao Muting waved to the city again.
The way.
Lin Haoxuan stood on his horse and said loudly: "The Xuanjia Army listened to the order, and twenty people escorted a street and sent all the people safely back to their homes."
"Yes!" The soldiers' voices were uniform and shocking, and at the same time made everyone feel at ease.
When the two officials who entered the city first from Yifeng City arrived at the prefect's Yamen, there were about a dozen people in green clothes and hoods standing at the entrance of the Yamen. The two officials were shocked, thinking that there was something inside the Yamen.
What arrangements are there, but the officers and soldiers I met all smiled.
At this time, Xia Qing walked out of the yamen and hugged the two men with fists: "You two adults have arrived just in time. The inside and outside of the yamen have been cleaned up. All the people in the yamen are detained in the prison. Please come in, two adults."
"
Only then did they realize that these were also members of His Highness King Chen. When they entered the Yamen and saw the silence here, they had to nod. They really acted quickly.
At this time, Xia Qing stepped forward and asked: "The mansions of Liang Zhijie and Zhou Yanghua have been cleaned up, but we have not yet received instructions on how to arrange the people brought out from their two mansions, so we have gathered people in one of the mansions.
In the courtyard, do you want to bring him to the Yamen?"
After the two adults glanced at each other, the newly appointed eunuch Cheng Yanfang said: "Thank you for your hard work, everyone. I will temporarily take care of the place where I am currently imprisoned. I will make a decision after your Highness comes down."
"Yes! Then all the members of Qingluan will evacuate here." Xia Qing clasped his fists at the two of them again.
"Thank you! Please!" they said in return.
As soon as Xia Qing and her team members left the yamen, she saw that Chujiu had arrived. She nodded to Xia Qing: "His Royal Highness and the captain are on their way here. The captain ordered that all the family members of the officials in the city be guarded and await their orders."
.”
"Act according to the address given by Feng Qingge!" Xia Qing got on his horse and said to everyone.
As soon as she ran out of the end of the street, Xiao Muting and Su Han entered the street, and they only saw the figure in Tsing Yi passing by.
As for the officials in Xiuyang City, they didn't bother at all. The information given by Feng Qingge was very accurate. As long as they asked questions one by one, they would be convicted.
For those honest officials in the city, they must continue to be appointed, but only if they are willing. If anyone is unwilling, they can resign and leave, and they will be sent safely out of Xianhe Town and back to the territory of Long'an Kingdom.
.
The next day was the busiest time in Xiuyang City. Thirty tables were placed on both sides of the gate of the prefect's yamen, and there was a bench in front of each table. All officials, officers and soldiers who could write were there.
Go into battle and record the accusations of the people who came to complain about their grievances.
Five days later, Liang Zhijie and Zhou Yanghua were taken to the execution ground. The newly promoted eunuch read out the charges against the two men in person, and finally he said:
"When Liang Zhijie was the prefect of Xiuyang City, he ignored the safety of the people in the city. When the armies of the two countries were about to attack the city, he used the lives of the people in the city as a bargaining chip and used the people as human shields. His crime should be punished! Combined with Liang Zhijie's
He has committed many crimes during his tenure as the prefect of Xiuyang City, and he is now sentenced to beheaded!"
The onlookers immediately cheered and shouted, "His Royal Highness, King Chen, is wise!"
Just when they were about to leave Xiuyang City, the Chilin Army who arrived also entered the city. After seeing Xiao Muting, Chen Heyu immediately stepped forward and knelt down on one knee to salute: "General, please greet your Highness!"
"Very good, you can rest here for one night, and tomorrow you will lead all the Chilin troops to Hexian Town in Yifeng City, and station there to prevent the Long An Kingdom's army from invading." Xiao Muting said to him.
"Yes! The general will obey the order!" Chen Heyu said loudly.
"Get up! The terrain there was originally just two mountains sandwiched between a ditch. It looks pretty good, but you have to make some arrangements yourself. The new Shenying Army will arrive later. You have to cooperate well with Xiao Yanyuan, and be sure to
Please keep this hard-won new county under my watch." Xiao Muting patted his shoulder and said.
Chen Heyu smiled excitedly and said: "It's great that Xiao Yanyuan is here too! Your Highness, please rest assured that the general will cooperate well with General Xiao to defend this new county."
Su Han stretched his head over and asked with a smile: "Your Highness, although this new county only has five cities, it cannot be weak. Why don't you give it a more prestigious county name?"
"Yeah! You're right. We can't use the original county name of Long'an State anymore. How about changing it to another one and calling it... Zhenlong County!" Xiao Muting looked at her with a slight smile on his lips.
"Zhen, Long, County! What a good name! Majestic!" Su Han thought about it for a moment and immediately nodded in agreement.
