With the arrival of reinforcements, the battle quickly came to an end, and the water bandits fled in the wilderness, and were killed into the cottage by Situ Changfeng and others.

Collect the weapons and watch them, as for those who have not been caught, Situ Changfeng said that there is no need to worry at all, just need to gather all the ships, far from the shore, on the island, there is nowhere to escape, and slowly arrest them after dawn.

Generally speaking, there are a lot of ordinary people on the island, and Evil Jiao Island is notorious, and there are only about 20,000 ordinary people on the entire island.

However, this made it convenient for Situ Changfeng, and the people generally seemed happy about the imperial court's occupation of the island, with a look of expectation in their eyes.

After dawn, the soldiers were separated to clear the fugitives on the island, and Situ Changfeng saw another famous general in his memory for the first time - Liu Renyuan.

This is a simple-looking, sturdy man, and his loyal appearance makes people feel good at first sight. Situ Changfeng saw him shoot last night, a ring-headed knife made a good one, and he also had the strength of the middle of the prefecture level, which is why he was able to sit firmly in the Langzhou County Lieutenant Office.

With such strength, in the area of Dongting Lake, he is already a top master, and the water bandits in the lake, of course, can not provoke, try not to provoke. It is precisely because of his strength that Liu Renyuan admires Ma Zhan, who is a few years younger than him, and the two cooperate very well in Langzhou.

Boats also began to transport people back to the city, after all, the island's resources are limited, and there is not much need for people, but since the water bandits have opened up the land, it is natural that it cannot be wasted, so it is still necessary to establish a village on the original cottage.

Of course, this is also in the planning, the island in the lake originally just wanted to plant tea trees, but the tea trees still need people to take care of them, and it is just right to settle a village. Making the island self-sufficient is, of course, the best thing to do.

There are many families on the island who have been destroyed by the bandits, and they no longer have relatives and friends outside, so they voluntarily stay and establish their own villages. Especially if you know that the field belongs to you, and all you need to do is take care of the tea trees, and the annual tea picking fee is calculated separately, you will not have any opinions.

Transporting the people, blocking the waterways, and clearing the bandits, Situ Changfeng naturally did not have to do these things himself, and after the arrangements were made, he followed the first batch of people back to Yuezhou. After all, there has been news in the city, although the rebellion is over, there are still a lot of things, especially the people of the family in the city, and the hearts of the people need to be appeased.

…………

"Everyone, the county guard Xie Zhi, colluded with the water bandits, and took advantage of the time when the army went out to attack, intending to attack Yuezhou, eliminate the official and you, and then all push it to the head of the water bandits, this matter has been ascertained, this is the confession of the water bandits on Evil Jiao Island, and last night Xie Zhi took the Xie family to attack the city together, and many people already know about it." Situ Changfeng said with a gloomy face.

"My subordinates already know, I'm really ashamed, Xie Zhi is trying to find out the dark for our Jiangnan family, but Du Du, his subordinates guarantee their lives, and this matter has nothing to do with our other families." Zhang Yong hurriedly assured.

You must know that although they are divided into Jiangdong and Jiangnan, in the eyes of outsiders, they all belong to the Jiangnan family. Now that he has just hooked up with Situ Changfeng, tea planting has just begun, if Situ Changfeng is suspicious of the Jiangnan family at this time, and finds someone else to cooperate, then they will only cry.

You must know that the most important tea production now is still in the hands of Situ Changfeng, otherwise why there are many tea trees for so many years, but there is no market, and it is impossible for the market to avoid Situ Changfeng, otherwise people will make a larger scale of tea in minutes.

Of course, this is only a part, the wool and cotton resources in Situ Changfeng's hands are also the financial roads needed by the Jiangnan family that are gradually declining.

"These officials also know that it is the work of individual families, so they will explain it to His Majesty." Situ Changfeng said lightly.

"Thank you, Governor!" Zhang Yong gratefully hugged his fists and saluted, Situ Changfeng was equivalent to solving the other biggest trouble for him, this favor Jiangdong four families have the same essentials, and it is not small.

"Having said that, Xie Zhi's family has been taken into custody and waiting for His Majesty's fate. In addition, the official does not want such a thing to happen in the future, otherwise he will blame the official for being unpredictable. Situ Changfeng glanced at it and continued, the benefits are given, but it should be beaten.

"Xia Guan understands!" Zhang Yong, Zhu Xiao, and others were swept away by Situ Changfeng's cold eyes, and they couldn't help but tighten their hearts, and hurriedly replied respectfully, not daring to have a trace of underestimation.

"The main force of the water bandits in the lake is either dead or captured, and the rest are also surrounded on the island, so you have to work hard these days, and you must properly settle the people." Situ Changfeng nodded with satisfaction and continued.

"Subordinates obey! Dare to ask the governor, how to deal with ordinary water bandits, whether to fill the army and distribute them in accordance with the Datang Law, or how? Zhu Xiao asked.

"Since these bandits are in trouble, then let them pay the price and carry out labor reform according to their crimes!" Situ Changfeng replied, the labor force given for free must not be let go, and now he hopes that the more bandits there are, the better, and it is best to wait on the island to be caught.

"What is a labor camp?" Zhang Yong asked puzzled.

"It is labor reform, whether it is to be confiscated into the army or imprisoned, it is not enough to punish their crimes, so they must be reformed through labor and let them become useful people to Datang." Situ Changfeng said solemnly.

Yes, isn't it free, long-term labor, of course there is no problem, anyway, in the eyes of these families, the people are not important.

"The Governor is wise!" Everyone hurriedly offered their sycophants.

A notice was issued to reassure the people, and the people were all overjoyed to learn that the bandits in Dongting Lake had been exterminated. Many people rushed to tell each other, cheers were heard everywhere, and many people kowtowed outside the governor's mansion to thank them, after all, there are not many people who have not been bullied by water bandits for so many years.

The solution of the water bandits is the most important thing in the two states, and Situ Changfeng can develop the internal affairs with peace of mind, so as soon as the affairs in the city are dealt with, he is in a hurry to enter the lake the next day.

The four bandit islands, there is basically no problem, they only need to be cleared one by one, and this matter is completed by Duhe and Zhang Wang, Situ Changfeng cares about the other islands.

According to the interrogation, the killer that night was actually the famous bloody killing, and the base was in Dongting Lake, which was very unexpected news. After Situ Changfeng found out, he had already arranged for Ah Niu, Bai San, and Ma Zhan to take people to guard and surround them. He has not forgotten that this is not the first time that this organization has assassinated him, and it is not his character to take revenge.
