In this Xihe County, even if you are a petty official with sesame mung beans, you must have the identity of a child of the wang clan to be able to serve, and a civilian, even if you have the ability, it is only a commoner.

Ordinary soldiers are strong-blooded, but because of the power of the wang clan, they don't dare to say anything even if they have thousands of complaints on weekdays, but now when they see that the king of Shicheng has moved his real character, he suddenly feels that he finally has a bright day, how can he not work hard?

As soon as a few people came out, a group of soldiers immediately came out, and Dong Canghai instructed the soldiers to plant wooden stakes on the ground one by one for everyone to use.

Taking a deep breath, standing with a knife, the soldiers slashed down with a knife, Fang Ling couldn't help but bow slightly, compared to those military things, ordinary soldiers obviously worked chopping skills, their posture was standard, and their strength was skillful.

Soon, there was a young soldier who took the lead in cutting 120 knives, and stood outside the team with pride, and the soldiers hurriedly sped up and cut one knife at a time, many of them were already sweating, but none of them complained of being tired.

As the soldiers successfully completed 120 knives one by one, the ten soldiers were finally assembled, and those soldiers who were only a few knives short couldn't help but feel sorry for their faces.

Fang Ling's gaze slowly swept over the ten people, and he nodded with satisfaction: "From now on, you are the new military affairs of this county, and each of you will choose 30 people as subordinates. ”

Everyone was so excited that their faces were flushed, and they hurriedly began to select people, and the soldiers also flocked to the newly promoted soldiers, celebrating with nonsense, and after the soldiers finished selecting their subordinates, they lined up in a ten-way column and looked at Fang Ling.

Fang Ling rode on the horse with a solemn face, his expression was meticulous, and then he waved his hand and shouted: "All the county soldiers obeyed the order, immediately went to the mansions of the major noble clans in the county, passed on the order of the king, and immediately dismissed the guards of all ethnic groups, leaving only 20 people in each household, if there are those who disobey the order by force, they will be killed!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned at first, and then their spirits were lifted, no one expected that Fang Ling would actually take the Wang clan to open the knife, and Qu County Lieutenant and others were even more like being struck by lightning.

Dong Canghai shouted in a deep voice: "All teams lead the troops and enter the city!"

The soldiers immediately responded loudly, led the team into the city, and saw more than 400 people entering the city, Yu Zhengqi couldn't help but sigh, and said with a depressed face: "The general trend has gone, you and I have made the wrong move." ”

Luo Wei wanted to squeeze out a smile, but the more he squeezed, the more bitter he became, and there was no half of the "color" on his face, officialdom was like a chess game, and all officials were like chess pieces.

Originally, the two of them seemed to have a deep power of the Wang clan, wealth and power, and the king of Shicheng came empty-handed, even if he had so many troops in Feng County, but it was never a climate, and there was a threat of bandits from the "misty" foggy mountains, sooner or later he would rely on the power of the wang clan.

It's just that God knows where he brought so many men from now, and now it's too late to regret it.

The last time Fang Ling entered the city, the people remembered it vividly, and now they saw Fang Ling coming with the county soldiers, everyone was just curious, but there was no panic or anything like that.

The team was divided into two parts, most of the troops were led by the soldiers to the mansions of the various noble clans in the county, Dong Canghai and the guards led the team to follow, in order to suppress the armed resistance, and a small part went to the county government with Fang Ling.

After Fang Ling sat in the county government, he immediately announced the removal of the county commander, scribe, head catcher, county lieutenant, military affairs and other cadres, and posted notices throughout the city, which naturally also included the rectification of the wang clan.

For a time, the whole city seemed to stir up a thousand waves, and the people all gathered in front of the notice to discuss, and at the same time, Qu County Lieutenant and Xu Bingshi and others were locked up in the prison car for disobedience and disobedience.

Seeing the iron-fisted governance of the king of Shicheng, even the county orders were all withdrawn, and the people also vented all their anger on weekdays, so all the things such as rotten cabbage and rotten fruits were thrown towards Qu County Lieutenant and others.

Luo Zhi and Yu Zhengqi were startled, so they had to hide under the big drum of the county government, and they didn't even dare to poke their heads out, for fear of becoming the enemy of everyone.

Although the Wang clan is rich and powerful, there are many courtyards, and the family is vicious, but under the siege of the army, it has become a lamb, an army of more than 400 people, each of whom is handed, with a solemn expression, under the command of Dong Canghai and other guards, the actions are orderly, and after a while, the mansions of the Wang clan are surrounded by water, these soldiers hate the people of the Wang clan on weekdays, and naturally they will not bend the law for personal gain, and strictly implement the order.

At the beginning, the children of the Youwang clan shouted and ordered their guards to resist in groups, but before they could finish shouting, they were "shot" through the head by an arrow from the soldiers of the Xi Kingdom.

Seeing that the county soldiers moved their real character, the nurses panicked, and everyone came for the generous salary, but they couldn't afford to lose their "sex" lives for money.

Soon, a large number of the guards were all driven out of the city, and the mansion of the wang clan was tightly controlled, and after only an hour, the cleaning of the wang clan was completed.

Fang Ling did not do more Wang in this place, ordered 300 soldiers to strictly guard the order in the city, led the soldiers of the Xi Kingdom to Maling County non-stop, and obtained military rights according to the gourd painting scoop, and swept away the power of the Wang clan.

After the control of the two counties, the matter was not over, Fang Ling ordered Chen Mou and Lubei to sit in Maling County, and he and Dongcanghu Town, Xihe County, opened the door of the county ya, and let the people report the long-term evil deeds in the county. As a result, a group of children of the wang clan who were "traitors" were all sent to prison for extorting merchants one by one, and Luo Zhi was also unable to escape the criminal law because of corruption, and when he still could not escape the ‖ of criminal law, he also confiscated some of the assets, shops and other properties of the wang clan.

Seeing that the arrogant and domineering children of the Wang clan were imprisoned, the people gathered outside the county government and rejoiced. Under a series of measures, both the number and financial resources of the Wang clan have been greatly weakened, although this has caused the economic decline of the two counties to a certain extent, but after eradicating the stubborn tumor, the two counties can really become rich.

At the same time, unnecessary laws and regulations were abolished, and new county magistrates, scribes, and other officials began to be selected, and Chen Mou also began to study and formulate some new laws and regulations, especially against the bad habits of extorting merchants, and severely punished unhealthy practices.

The day passed very long, and in the middle of the night, Chen Mou came from Maling County to present what had happened in Maling County today.

Fang Ling listened to him while flipping through the documents that had been submitted, and chuckled: "It turns out that the Lin family's assets are much more than those investigated, so if you calculate it this way, you will have an income of at least 100,000 taels of silver every year, no wonder your momentum is so arrogant." ”

Chen Mou smiled slightly: "In fact, the three counties are not barren land, Feng County has six iron mines, Xihe County has rich water resources and fertile land, rich in grain and aquatic products, Maling Mountain has a large number of horses and fruit trees, just because there are too many thieves in the 'misty' Wushan Mountain, and the two counties of Xihe are rampant, and the corrupt officials and corrupt officials do nothing, which makes the three places appear barren, but if it is properly governed, it is definitely not worse than the rich counties in China." ”

Fang Ling bowed his head and said: "Yes, so Lord Chen, you will be in charge of the jurisdiction of the three counties now, as for the new officials, you must ensure that they are honest and honest, the land of these two counties has been chaotic for a long time, and it may take some time to govern them." ”

Chen Mou said with a smile: "Your Highness, please rest assured, any official to be appointed is not limited to whether he has merit or not, but he must be recommended by the people, so the people are very enthusiastic, there are more than a dozen people who have recommended themselves today, and in a few days the ministers will report the information of these people and let His Highness make a decision." ”

Fang Ling nodded, and asked again, "By the way, what happened to Qiu Yi that I asked you to investigate?"

Chen Mou immediately said: "The minister sent someone to Mulian County overnight, and there was a situation about Qiu Yi at the bottom of the report information. ”

Fang Ling immediately turned to the back of the report, and found a few densely written papers, all about Qiu Yi, and couldn't help nodding secretly, Chen Mou did things really neatly, and collected so many things in less than a day.

While Fang Ling watched, Chen Mou said: "Qiu Yi was born in a civilian family, and his father was also a catcher in Mulian County, he was poor and upright all his life, and he had a good reputation in Mulian County, so Qiu Yi naturally took over his class, and was promoted to the position of head catcher. It's a pity that he encountered the incident where the son of the county official killed the "woman", and was framed by the county order, and now the wanted warrants are still on the city wall of Mulian County. ”

Fang Ling turned over the information and said: "In just a few years in power, he has cracked as many as 200 cases of various types, and his ability to solve cases is really good. ”

Chen Mou nodded and said, "Indeed, I heard that this person is also known as the 'Divine Catcher' in Mulian County." ”

Fang Ling asked seriously, "Then do you think this person is available?"

Chen Mou smiled and said, "It's not available, Your Highness is afraid that you have already counted it in your heart, right?"

Fang Ling couldn't help laughing, worthy of Chen Mou, he even 'touched' what he was thinking clearly. In fact, since hearing about Qiu Yi's matter and getting along with him, Fang Ling has had the idea of subduing him, and now that he sees his past information, this idea is even more sufficient, after the unification of the three counties, there must be a competent and capable catcher to take up the position, but the catcher of the three counties has withdrawn two, although the head catcher of Feng County is upright, but the land of Feng County is barren, and the people are very good, so there are not a few cases throughout the year, and his experience is obviously lacking.

The chaos of the current situation in the two counties is not comparable to Feng County, and if you want to suppress those wang clan forces who are unwilling to fail, you need a very effective head catcher.

In this way, it is imperative to go to Moshui Village, and this is also the first step to solve the "chaos" of bandits!
