No one dared to ask about the crime, they all bothered to beg for mercy, but Yan Xing still had to say it.

"What you have committed is the sin of favoritism. was in the county temple, knew the inside story, but came out and let Fan Yong and others do evil, which was originally going to be imprisoned for questioning. ”

"But God has the virtue of a good life, and the captain of this school is not a person who is easy to kill. This time, I'll spare you for waiting. ”

After hearing the words of not being pursued, the remaining county temples breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly thanked Yan Xing for his great kindness.

"However, at present, there are many vacancies in the county temple, and it is urgent to re-select the officials and understand the government decree!"

The remaining county officials had just been forgiven, and when they heard Yan Xing's words, they immediately understood, and hurriedly said:

"We are guilty of sin, and everything is only obeyed by the captain's orders!"

Unexpectedly, Yan Xing, who heard this, was not happy, and he said with a serious face:

"What do you mean by this, I have already said before, the Han family has its own system, with the people to pay the county temple, and the thief to pay the school captain. I won't personally inquire about the affairs of this county temple. However, Fan Yong gave the head, and the affairs of the county temple and the people should not be presided over by no one, and I intend to set up two courts in the county temple to replace the administrative order. ”

"The two courts each perform their own duties, and pay the left court to the left court for the matter of case documents, and the right court to pay for the matter of correcting errors. Zuo Tingpeng can choose a person from among the county officials, and the right Tingpeng, I think, will be concurrently served by Zheng Duo, the secretary under my account! ”

The rest of the county officials hurriedly agreed, although they knew that by doing so, the county temple would become a private mansion for Yan Xing, a school captain, under the guise of a county temple on the surface.

In the end, Yan Xing didn't personally intervene, but he could still secretly manipulate the county temple through Zheng Duo, who had the right to be a supervisor.

But at this time, how can anyone dare to speak out against it.

In the end, Zheng Duo, who had already learned of the situation in advance, came out of the ranks, thanked Yan Xing, and then greeted other colleagues in the county temple in the future.

With Zheng Duo, the right court peng, and then replacing the county guards with his own soldiers, even if the county temple in Jiangyi was completely controlled by himself, Yan Xing's goal had been achieved, so he nodded and warned everyone a few more words.

"If there is any deception, it will be severely punished, and you should do your best, and do not be the first for everyone."

"Obey the captain's orders!"

Zheng Duo led a group of county officials to make promises.

At present, the county temple still has many things to do, such as recovering stolen money, sorting out criminal evidence, preparing money and food, etc., Yan Xing has always acted vigorously and resolutely, and he will not say anything else, and then let Zheng Duo lead these county officials down, select and promote, elect a Zuo Tingpeng, and then return to Cao to do things.

After Zheng Duo took the people away, Yan Xingcai, who had finished everything, exhaled a long breath, stood up, looked at Xi Zhicai, Zhou Liang and others and said:

"Lai's second and third sons have worked hard for many days, and now they have finally gotten rid of the thieves of the remnants, but there is a big thing in my heart!"

Xi Zhicai smiled when he heard this, and also said:

"This is thanks to Shi Zhoujun, who visited the county temple and the treacherous things of the surname, all in detail. There were also 100 people who rescued Meng Jun in time to rescue the two subordinates who were detained by the county guards. and the captain's quick decision, acting in advance, to eliminate the traitors in Jiangyi in one fell swoop. ”

Hearing that Xi Zhicai gave the credit to Zhou Liang, Meng Tu and himself, Yan Xinghe smiled, looked at Xi Zhicai and said:

"It is also thanks to the strategy of the military strategist Shi Xijun that this time he was able to act so smoothly and completely take down the county temple."

Yan Xing did not exaggerate the merits of Xi Zhicai. This time the operation was able to go so smoothly because of the strategy offered by Xi Zhicai, Yan Xing successfully confused Fan Yong and the big names in the city.

When taking over the military supply, Xu Huang pretended to be greedy for money and food, giving the officials of the county temple an illusion, thinking that Fan Yong, who had an opportunity, sent county officials or children with big surnames to test the situation several times in the future, Yan Xing played every scene, and well concealed his intentions, so that Fan Yong, who got the feedback information, thought that Yan Xing and they were the same dog, so that he gradually lowered his vigilance.

As for dealing with the county temple officials and the big surnames in the city, Xi Zhicai also thought that they should be divided and conquered, and the county officials and the big surnames should be treated differently.

First of all, Fan Yong, because he is the head of a county, and he is also the son of the Fan family surnamed Anyi, if he does not admit his guilt and tries to fight to the end, then he can only be killed on the spot on the charge of collaborating with the enemy, otherwise he will have a gap, use Fan's energy to make waves in the Hedong County Government, and I don't know how much trouble he will add to Yan Xing.

Therefore, when Fan Yong planned to incite others before, Meng Tu, who was ordered in advance, decisively set up a killer and beheaded him to show the public, which not only deterred other county officials and surnames who were ready to move, but also turned the crime of collaborating with the enemy into an iron case.

Other confidants of Fan Yong, such as the county lieutenant, the county magistrate, Gong Cao, and the chief bookkeeper, after Yan Xing and Xi Zhicai discussed, decided not to kill but not to let go, and first detained and tortured, so that they all confessed to the crimes of corruption, bribery, and rampant crimes.

At this point, the chief officials in the county temple were also wiped out, and the remaining county temple officials, the group of dragons had no leader, after Yan Xing threw out the system of "double court Peng", and then selected the people who voted for Cheng from among them to be promoted to the history of Cao Peng, and the county temple of Jiangyi also completely fell into the control of Yan Xing.

As for those who have committed serious crimes, they will naturally be sent to prison for questioning, but those who have committed lesser crimes will be punished with small punishments and big commandments, so as to impress them with might.

After all, if Yan Xing wants to unify the forces of Jiangyi, calm the people's hearts and resist the white wave thieves, they can't do without the help of the big names in the city.

Xi Zhicai perfected Yan Xing's plan to control Jiangyi, so that Yan Xing's actions were very smooth, so Yan Xingcai specially praised Xi Zhicai's merits in front of everyone.

Xi Zhicai was praised by Yan Xing, and he was not complacent, but after thinking for a while, he said slowly:

"Captain, this county temple has been taken, but this Jiangyi has not been completely controlled, and besides, the Hedong County Government also needs to plan early."

Yan Xing nodded, Xi Zhicai was right, this time his side made such a big move in Jiangyi, and even the chief of Jiangyi was killed by Meng Tu on the spot, and on the side of Hedong County, even if they originally wanted to avoid the edge of the Xiliang soldiers, but in the matter of Jiangyi, for the sake of the county government's face, they had to give an order and send someone to investigate.

Rather than waiting for others to investigate, it is better to send someone to deliver the bad criminal evidence of the Jiangyi County Temple to the Hedong County Government in advance, and in the face of ironclad evidence, it is expected that even if the Hedong County Government wants to show favoritism, it will have to be weighed twice.

And in addition to sending people to the Hedong County Government, the camp of Niu Fu, the Zhonglang General who guards Hedong, should also send people to go, even if the Hedong County Government is dissatisfied with itself, it can't do anything to these foreign soldiers, but if Niu Fu listens to other people's slanderous words, it will be very troublesome for Yan Xing.

After thinking about this, Yan Xing began to say:

"On the county government's side, after Zheng Duo finishes sorting out the case file and the criminal's confession, he can send the county officials to the county government. And Niu Zhonglang will be over there—"

Speaking of Niu Fu, Yan Xing remembered the appearance of the middle-aged military man with Lan Qi and Gong by his side, but his face was anxious and gloomy.

Niu Fu's belief in Wu Bu and his temperament are perverse, and he sent others to his camp, but he was afraid that it would backfire, and this matter still had to be passed by the experienced Zhou Liang in person after all.

Yan Xing immediately looked at Zhou Liang and said:

"Yuan Shan, this time you are the first to purge the remnants of the Jiangyi officials, but you still have to go to the camp of General Niu Zhonglang again, and report the crime of Fan Yong, the chief of Jiangyi, who collaborated with the enemy to sacrifice the city. Well, the goods needed for this operation are still the same as last time, and you don't need to worry about the goods you need to do so. ”

"No!"

The last time Zhou Liang went to the Niu Auxiliary Camp because of the Ganling incident, he played the front station for Yan Xing, and used a lot of money and goods to open up the layers of joints in the Niu Auxiliary Camp.

After arranging these two things, the affairs of the county temple today will have a general aftermath.

Yan Xing looked at the other people in the hall, and was thinking about leaving some of the soldiers to stay in the county temple, so he took the other people and left.

But he had just given the order to evacuate the county temple, and before the soldiers could leave the hall, another soldier who had arrived ran in from outside.

"Captain Qiyu, the Yan army is waiting to send someone to report, and nearly a thousand cavalry have been found outside the city, coming in the direction of Jiangyi."

"Oh!"

Yan Junhou refers to Yan Xing, who was stationed in the barracks outside the city.

Yan Xing heard that Yan Xing had sent someone to report that nearly a thousand soldiers and horses had arrived outside the city, and he was silent on the surface, but he was a little surprised in his heart.

Of course, Yan Xing's surprise was not that he was worried that there would be an enemy attacking, the white wave thieves were uneven, there were not many elites, once dispatched, there were more than 10,000 people and horses, and the nearly 1,000 soldiers and horses who came here were unlikely to be the white wave thieves.

More likely, it was the original garrison of Jiangyi.

In addition to the 3,000 soldiers and horses brought by Yan Xing, there were originally three battalions of soldiers stationed in Jiangyi, two of which were Hedong County soldiers and one battalion was Xiliang soldiers and horses.

After Yan Xing was stationed, he also sent messengers to Fenshui and Jiujishan to inquire about the situation of the White Wave Thieves, and the news that the messengers sent from the two places reported back that the third battalion Sima reported to Yan Xing that the White Wave Thieves seemed to have the intention of attacking Jiangyi, and they were all taking their soldiers to step up their defense to resist the possible attack of the White Wave Thieves.

Regarding this situation of waiting and watching the situation of the soldiers and horses, Yan Xing also expected it when he came. However, regardless of whether the Baibo thieves in Linfen and Xiangling really wanted to attack Jiangyi, these three battalions of soldiers and horses were stationed along the Fenshui and Jiuji Mountain, which was also a lack of possible potential constraints for Yan Xing, who was bent on planning to purge the remnants of the county temple officials, and it could be regarded as beneficial and harmless.

It's just that now that he has just finished clearing the remnants of the county temple, some of the original soldiers and horses have rushed back, and I don't know if it's a coincidence or deliberate.

These three battalions of soldiers and horses were originally stationed in the barracks outside the city in Jiangyi, so they must have some connections with Fan Yong and others in the county temple.

When a battalion of soldiers and horses came back at this time, I don't know if it was too early or too late for them.
