In Hanye City, the county magistrate's office of Bozhou County...

Although Bozhou County is the richest county in the entire Yan State, and Hanye City is the economic center of Bozhou County, the county magistrate's office is quite inconspicuous. Compared with the official residences where the Ye family had officials, the county magistrate's office seemed very shabby, and the door was deserted. Even the two stone lions outside the gate were old and somewhat damaged. After being baptized by wind and rain, they seemed to have lost the majesty and domineering that the stone lion should have.

The county magistrate's mansion occupied a considerable area, but it seemed to be depressed everywhere. Several veterans were bored and lazy outside the mansion, but there was a burst of roar in the main hall.

"A dozen more lives have passed away. General, do you still want to indulge your subordinates in burning, killing, looting in Hanye City like this?" In the lobby, a middle-aged man with a hunched and yellow face roared at Xiao Huaijin, the master seat: "Besides the wolf, he attracts tigers, so it's better not to fight. General Xiao, if you want to plunder money and property, I have nothing to say, but if you indulge your subordinates in burning, killing, poisoning innocent people, I will take care of it even if I die. I am the county magistrate of Bozhou County and have the right to inquire about this matter."

He looked less than forty years old, and was in his prime. However, he was thin and his beard was messy. His eyes were sunk deep and his expression was extremely serious. He was not afraid of Xiao Huaijin.

It seemed that he was physically exhausted. After these words, he coughed violently, almost coughing out his lung leaves, but his expression was still very firm, staring at Xiao Huaijin coldly.

The decorations in the lobby were also extremely simple. The four chief generals of the aristocratic army were all present at this time. Xiao Huaijin sat in the main seat, and the other three lecturers sat left and right. However, this middle-aged man was in the hall and scolded him for not being wrong.

Xiao Huaijin looked ugly and pointed at the middle-aged man and said, "Zhao Xiqiao, who do you think is a tiger? You are so brave. Our aristocratic army is the army of the court. If you insult us as cannibal tigers, is that insulting the court?"

It turned out that this person was Zhao Xiqiao, the governor of Bozhou County. The one who dared to speak the truth and offends countless people but still survives until now.

"The court?" Zhao Xiqiao said without hesitation: "Who of your families cares about the Lord's Lord's heart is all for your own plans. It's okay to loot property, but you still want to massacre the people. Don't forget that what your subordinates are killing now is the people of the Lord's Lord and the people of the court." He pointed to Ximen Leizang and cursed: "Ximen Leizang, everyone said that you are a lion of Wujun. This is true. Only beasts can do such things. The four coalition forces, only you Wujun soldiers killed the most. Look at the Nancheng District you captured, there is a sea of ​​fire, and screams in pain. Do you want to turn Hanye City into a Shura Field on Earth?"

Ximen Leizang's face was extremely ugly. He was very arrogant. Zhao Xiqiao pointed at himself and scolded him at this time, which made him angry. He stood up suddenly, pressed the hilt of the knife, stared at Zhao Xiqiao, and said coldly: "Zhao Xiqiao, don't think I dare not kill you!"

Zhao Xiqiao was not afraid at all, patted his chest and said, "If I dare to say it, I am not afraid of death. Ximen Leizang, if you don't kill me today, you are not worthy of being called the Wujun lion!" He glared at him, and he was really not afraid of death.

How could Ximen Leizang show weakness? He pulled out his sword, shouted loudly, and slashed at Zhao Xiqiao at the beginning.

But someone shouted, "Governor Ximen, please wait!" Another choking sound was Han Xuanchang, but it was the sword that blocked Ximen Leizang's slash, and said seriously: "Governor Ximen, let's make a long-term plan, don't do stupid things!"

Ximen Lei Zang also became angry for a moment. He was scolded by Zhao Xiqiao in public and could not come to Taiwan. He was so hot that he killed him. However, he also understood that although Zhao Xiqiao was as hard and smelly as a stone in a cesspool, he was the leader of a county after all. Although he was transferred from Yanjing by the cabinet, His Majesty the Emperor seemed to take good care of this person, so if he really wanted to kill this person in anger, he would probably cause a lot of trouble.

Han Xuanchang took action to stop him, and just gave Ximen Leizang the steps. He snorted coldly, put away his knife and returned to his seat.

Zhao Xiqiao smiled coldly, turned around and bowed to Han Xuanchang, and said sincerely: "Mr. Han, thank you!"

Han Xuanchang waved his hand and said, "Mr. Zhao, everyone should discuss things slowly, and there is no need to be angry. Moreover, General Ximen is just acting, and he doesn't really want to kill you, so you don't have to thank me."

Zhao Xiqiao shook his head and said, "Mr. Han, do you think I am thanking you for saving me from Ximen Leizang's knife?"

Han Xuanchang frowned and said, "But I don't know where Lord Zhao's thanks come from?"

Zhao Xiqiao said seriously, "Actually, I should thank your son. Someone just reported to me that your fifth young master of the Han family was in Wangyue Tower. When he saw his subordinates killing innocent people indiscriminately, he dealt with several subordinates for this, including your deputy general of the Han family. Now the Xicheng District is orderly and the people are stable..." He glanced at Ximen Leizang and Xiao Huaijin and said lightly: "There are many people in Dongcheng District and Nancheng District who fled to Xicheng District to avoid the bloody disaster. Lord Han's son is kind-hearted and strict intent, and has preserved countless innocent people, which further demonstrates the benevolence of the court. Zhao Xiqiao admires him very much. He can give birth to such a son, Lord Han is also admired!"

He was in Bozhou County for several years. As the county magistrate of Bozhou County, he was also a little confidant. Moreover, the Ye family had collapsed at this time. He was the highest commander of Bozhou County. The officials of the county magistrate's office would naturally report the news from the city to him.

Han Xuanchang knew about this. Someone had reported Han Mo's handling of Han Siyuan in Wangyue Tower. When he heard about this, he was a little surprised, but he soon understood Han Mo's intention. Although he was a little regretful about Han Siyuan's death, he had earned back the hearts of the people, which was a great gain.

When Zhao Xiqiao said this, Han Xuanchang just smiled faintly and said nothing.

Su Guanya, who had never spoken, finally asked, "Mr. Zhao, what should I do in your opinion?"

Zhao Xiqiao immediately said: "The decree from the capital will take a few days. In the past few days, you tens of thousands of troops are stationed in and outside Hanye City. If you keep doing this, I am afraid that in a few days, Hanye City will be a dead city. You are fighting rebellion, but you must do evil things by following the kingly way. I want you to draw out two hundred soldiers, and I will personally command it to supervise the illegal soldiers in the city. However, if you kill innocent people indiscriminately, you will be killed without forgiving!"

Xiao Huaijin laughed and said, "As the governor of Bozhou County, does it mean that there are no soldiers under his command?"

Zhao Xiqiao shouted: "The general doesn't have to say such things to humiliate me. The most urgent task is to stabilize the people of Hanye City. The people of Hanye City will stabilize, and Bozhou County will be roughly stabilized."

Su Guanya hugged Xiao Huaijin and slowly said, "General, what Lord Zhao said is not unreasonable. It is necessary for us to withdraw some money, but if we kill too many people, we are afraid that the people's hearts will fluctuate, which will cause greater trouble at that time."

After the Su family entered the city, although they were reluctant to kill many innocent people because of looting property, their attitude was much gentler than the Xiao family and the Ximen family, which was extremely murderous.

Han Xuanchang also immediately said: "General, what Lord Su said is that if this causes an unexpected change, it would be unbeautiful. The situation in the entire Bozhou County is not clear and the Wu family has not yet been destroyed. If we force it too much, we are afraid that the people will surrender to the Wu family. Once the people's hearts are lost, we may not be able to truly take over the entire Bozhou County!"

Ximen Leizang just looked at Zhao Xiqiao coldly, but didn't say anything.

Zhao Xiqiao looked at Xiao Huaijin with his neck straight, looking firm. He looked like a thin body, but his aura was not small.

Xiao Huaijin frowned and asked, "What do you mean is to send someone to him?"

Su Guanya nodded and said, "I will strictly order my subordinates not to kill innocent people indiscriminately, and I can send two hundred elite soldiers to Lord Zhao for inspection."

Han Xuanchang also said: "I am like Lord Su!"

Zhao Xiqiao asked Xiao Huaijin with his neck straight: "General, Lord Han and Lord Su are willing to dispatch personnel. What about you, General?"

Xiao Huaijin pondered for a moment before saying, "Since that's the case, let's send him two hundred people to him." Looking at Zhao Xiqiao, he said coldly: "Zhao Xiqiao, if you take advantage of the problem, you will treat us soldiers without any evidence. Don't blame me for turning against you at that time!"

Zhao Xiqiao said without showing any weakness: "I will not let anyone who should be killed, and I will not act at will if I should not be killed!" After a pause, he pulled off a cloth scarf from the hem of his clothes, stepped forward and placed it on the big case, and said, "A few adults should draw a handwritten warrant!"

Several people also knew that without a warrant, even if Zhao Xiqiao led people to supervise, I was afraid that the soldiers would not take them in their hearts.

After issuing the warrant, Zhao Xiqiao immediately asked someone to follow the men of the chief generals to order the troops and start the city inspection. As soon as the matter was finished, he said again: "General, how are you going to deal with those surrendered soldiers?"

"It's all rebels, it's okay to kill them!" Xiao Huaijin said lightly: "Now there are nearly 10,000 surrendered soldiers, all of whom have been detained, and they have been cut back. If this large group of people is not killed, they will lose a large amount of supplies just by eating and drinking every day."

Ximen Leizang immediately agreed: "Yes, I've killed them all. I have injured nearly a thousand of my subordinates. If I don't kill them, I can't relieve my hatred!"

Zhao Xiqiao immediately burst into laughter, everyone was stunned, wondering why Zhao Xiqiao laughed.

"It turns out that General Ximen killed people just to understand hatred. Hahaha, with the word hatred, you want to kill nearly 10,000 soldiers. General Ximen, your hatred is really great!" Zhao Xiqiao laughed, pointed at Ximen Leizang, and shouted: "Do you think these soldiers are determined to rebel? Most of them are just ordinary people, and they are forced to join the army by the Ye family just to eat a bite of food. Several of them just touched their upper and lower lips and wanted to kill them? It turns out that they are so bold!"

Ximen Leizang could no longer help, so he stepped forward and kicked Zhao Xiqiao in the waist. Zhao Xiqiao was kicked out and fell to the ground, but he couldn't get up for a moment.

Ximen Leizang pointed at Zhao Xiqiao, raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "You really think of yourself as a county magistrate if we hadn't entered the city, you would have been locked in the dungeon like a dead dog, maybe you would have died like a wild dog. Now that you promised you to dispatch inspectors, it's because of the court's face, but you are getting more and more aggressive. You are responsible for the surrender of the troops? You won't let me go!"

Zhao Xiqiao struggled, obviously kicked his waist very hard, and he couldn't get up even after struggling continuously, but he simply sat on the ground and laughed loudly, saying, "I am the governor of Bozhou County. This is a royal titled by the emperor. There is nothing I can't control about Bozhou County."

Han Xuanchang frowned. Although Zhao Xiqiao was a little ignorant of the current affairs, Ximen Leizang was so angry that it was inappropriate to beat the imperial officials like this.

He wanted to stop him, but he knew that Xiao Huaijin had already shouted: "General Ximen, what are you doing? This general is here, Lord Han and Shangshu Su are also here. What are you trying to beat the imperial officials?"

Han Xuanchang was stunned, not knowing why Xiao Huaijin stood up to be a good person, but after thinking about it, he realized that the relationship between the Xiao family and the Ximen family was not very good, and Xiao Huaijin wanted to take the opportunity to attack Ximen Leizang.

It is estimated that when Ximen Leizang was about to kill Zhao Xiqiao, Xiao Huai-jinjiu was secretly happy.

Han Xuanchang stood up, helped Zhao Xiqiao up, and asked, "How is Mr. Zhao's injury? Do you need to hire a doctor?"

Zhao Xiqiao looked at Han Xuanchang gratefully, shook his head and said, "Thank you, Lord Han. Lord Han, please... Please help me sit on the chair, I'll take a rest..."

Han Xuanchang helped him sit on the chair, and Zhao Xiqiao nodded to express his gratitude.

Ximen Leizang was dissatisfied when he heard Xiao Huaijin scolding him, but he did hit someone first, so he could only snort coldly and not speak.

Xiao Huaijin would not let go easily, and said in a deep voice: "General Ximen, everyone sees what your Wujun soldiers did during this Western Expedition. The military advisor ordered you to fight the vanguard, but you refused to obey. After entering the pass, your Wujun soldiers arrived at Hanye City at the latest. Everyone knows what they did along the way. After entering the city, not only did you not order to restrain your subordinates, but instead were traitors. You plundered and plundered all kinds of evil, but also set fire to the private houses. Now they beat the imperial officials in the court. Hehe... General Ximen did these things better than the other. Don't worry, when you reward merits, I will write these things one by one on the military merit book and submit them to the emperor for reading!"

Ximen Leizang suddenly changed color, gritted his teeth, glared at Xiao Huaijin, and retorted: "Burning, killing, looting? Hehe, have you families not done it before?"

This time, without waiting for Xiao Huaijin to speak, Su Guanya said calmly: "General Ximen, after I entered the city, I issued military rules as soon as possible. Do not kill innocent people indiscriminately, nor do I rape them. A erotic woman, don't pull my Su family into it. But I know that after General Ximen entered the city, the first military order was to order the soldiers to search for gold, silver and wealth with all their strength. As for military rules, it seems that there is no one?"
