The former killed Tang Huaibi, and this time he took out Hongyun Castle, so that the two giants of Yang Dong and Liuyuan were wiped out in an instant, and "Xue Rentu" once again shocked Suizhou.

Compared with the last beheading of Tang Huaibi, this Hongyunbao incident has a greater impact. After all, killing a Tang Huaibi has little to do with the middle and lower class eunuchs. The Hongyun Fort that was eliminated this time is a century-old hero, and everyone knows that it has big roots in Suizhou, and the intersection with the middle and lower class eunuchs is quite close. With the liquidation of Wu Yanzhang, a large amount of land and wealth returned to the hands of the people, and a large number of slaves and maids returned to their freedoms and were able to return to reunite with their families.

Up and down Suizhou, there was jubilation. Every household is grateful to Xue Shao. The alleys and alleys are all spreading Xue Shao's reputation and merits. Even temples and Taoist temples and other places outside the party, because of the role of Xuan Yunzi, began to contribute to the spread of Xue Shao's good name.

It didn't take long for Xue Shao to take office, and Xue Shao's name was thunderous in the three states under the rule of the Xiazhou Governor's Office. Some people were terrified and couldn't sleep at night when they heard his name, and some people gritted their teeth at him and hated to eat his flesh raw. But more ordinary people praised Xue Shao and praised him endlessly. They were extremely glad that the Xiazhou Governor's Mansion ushered in such a feudal official who did not go along with the powerful and vulgar officials, and a parent Qing official who dared to be the master of the Lord.

Under the rule of the governor of Xiazhou, there are also Yan and Yinzhou, and Xue Shao has not had time to visit in person after taking office. After hearing about Hongyun Castle, the people there regarded Xue Shao as the god of fate, and hoped day and night that the glory of Xue Dudu could shine on them. On the contrary, the evil gentry and the powerful in those places who are powerful and prosperous in the countryside are like sitting on pins and needles and cannot live in fear. Some people couldn't hold their breath and took the initiative to go to the Xiazhou Governor's Mansion to "surrender themselves" and ask for leniency. There are also people who do not hesitate to give up their family business and flee in a hurry with their property and family members.

The prestige of "human slaughter" has spread, and the charm and spirit are invincible.

Liu Yuan's head seems to be more valuable than Tang Huaibi's head.

Back in Suizhou, Xue Shao entered the Thorn Mansion.

When Wu Yizong saw Xue Shao, he was so frightened that the chrysanthemums tightened. Perhaps from being born to the present, Wu Yizong has never been so afraid of a person. Even if it was his cousin Empress Dowager Wu, Wu Yizong dared to disobey the yang and the yin. But in front of Xue Shao, Wu Yizong felt like a newborn meat mouse that had met a hungry big cat.

Xue Shao didn't break the matter of the transaction between Wu Yizong and Hongyun Castle, but just asked very usually, how did the matter of finding Bai Tieyu's military rations go?

Wu Yizong was busy inviting Xue Shao to the granary and inspecting those grain hoards in person. He also told Xue Shao that under his active activities, the people of Suizhou felt the bravery of the officers and men of the Shuofang Army and the hardships of their lives, and took the initiative to donate a large amount of grain, which has now been collected here only for acceptance by Xue Dudu.

"Please General Wu, thank the fathers of Suizhou on my behalf." Xue Shao said, "This grace is high and thick, Xue will repay it!" ”

"Well said, well said." Wu Yizong's scalp seemed to be used to tightening, thinking to himself why did he sound a little cold and swishing when he said this?

Xue Shao took a handful of corn and looked at it in his hand, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "The Shuofang army is just short of food and clothing, General Wu, you are really a charcoal in the snow." I want to thank both the fathers and elders of Suizhou, and I also want to thank you. ”

"Ho, ho, good talk, good talk!" Wu Yizong was still stupid and laughed dryly, not knowing how to answer-God knows what kind of bad idea Xue Shao was playing? It's better to be cautious!

"I accepted the food donated by the fathers and elders of Suizhou." Xue Shao said, "As for Bai Tieyu's stolen goods, that is something that the imperial court will investigate, and Xue doesn't dare to get involved." After General Wu has finished handling the case, he might as well return to the court as soon as possible, so as not to displease the court! ”

Wu Yizong's heart lit up, and then he seemed to understand what Xue Shao meant. He thought to himself that Xue Shao had originally come for Bai Tieyu's grain, because his army was very short of grain and grass. If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have fought with me. Now with this batch of "donations" and the proceeds from the seizure of Hongyun Castle, Xue Shao gave up Bai Tieyu's grain and left it for me to use to hand over to the imperial court, and no longer compete with me for this grain and grass.

- How could he be so kind as to let me go?

Wu Yizong muttered in his heart for a moment and asked cautiously. "Then, what about the arrears that Ben Jiang borrowed from Xue Dudu before?"

Xue Shao turned his head to look at Wu Yizong, smiled meaningfully, said nothing, and left.

Wu Yizong's eyes have been there, are you talking?

Xue Shao didn't give half an explanation, and directly took the guards on the horse and drove away.

"What do you mean?" Wu Yizong shouted loudly behind Xue Shao.

Xue Shaocai ignored it, but went farther and farther.

Wu Ming and the others laughed.

"Childe, that Wu Yizong is really not greedy enough." Wu Ming said with a smile, "Gongzi let him go, and he still hopes to forgive the debt!" ”

"Inevitably, it's just in my thoughts." Xue Shao also smiled, "Actually, since I lent the money, I never thought that I could get it back." But if I relented now, he might have to discount his purchase of rations. Therefore, as soon as he finishes his errand in Suizhou, look at his table and then talk about it! ”

"In this way, Wu Yizong will have his life in the hands of Gongzi." Wu Ming nodded and smiled, "Good thing!" ”

"He's the kind of person who won't stop as long as he doesn't die. From then on, although he was afraid of me, he would not be kind to me, but only wanted to repay the loss. According to my habit, his result should be the same as Liu Yuan's. Xue Shao said, "But behind him, is the entire martial artist. Xuan Yunzi is right, I can't do evil to the entire Wu family for the sake of a villain like Wu Yizong! ”

"Hmm!" Wu Ming nodded, "Empress Dowager Wu, Princess Taiping...... There are still too many people and things in the capital, and Childe has to worry about it! ”

"Don't talk about it, go and take a look at Xu Changqing!"

Xue Shao and his entourage entered the prison and saw Xu Changqing sitting in a cell wearing a sloppy official uniform, writing hard, and the cell door was closed and unlocked.

Xue Shao walked in lightly, Xu Changqing didn't notice it, and he was still immersed in his books.

Xue Shao stood quietly not far away and looked at it for a while, and said, "What did you write?" ”

Xu Changqing subconsciously raised his head, and at a glance he saw Xue Shao, as if he had been hit by an electric shock on the spot, and hurriedly bowed down with his forehead, "Prisoner Xu Changqing, meet Xue Dudu!" ――The prisoner is preparing to explain some things about the two Yangliu families to Xue Dudu! ”

Xue Shao opened the cell door and walked in, picked up what Xu Changqing had written and looked at it, what was written was the network of contacts and property distribution in the two states of Yangliu and some things about committing adultery and criminals. These things are quite useful for liquidating the two Yangliu families!

"Get up, sit and talk."

Xu Changqing got up obediently and sat down cautiously.

"Xu Changshi has lost weight. How do you jailers serve? Xue Shao said.

The cell bosses hurriedly ran up and down, and soon brought a few drinks and roast chicken, lamb tripe, and food from the table.

Xu Changqing looked at these things in front of him, and suddenly burst into tears.

"What are you crying about, you dignified governor?" Xue Shao said dissatisfiedly.

"Xu's deadline is approaching, how can I not cry?" Xu Changqing wiped his tears and sighed, "Damn, damn it!" …… I only sigh that Xu was once a person with lofty ideals who read the books of sages, and I don't want to fall into the house today! - Damn it, damn it! ”

After saying that, Xu Changqing stretched out his hands to pick up the roast chicken and ate it vigorously.

Xue Shao smiled, "I think you misunderstood, this is not a severed head." Even if you want to be punished for capital crimes, you have to be escorted to the three divisions of the capital to be executed after the review. ”

Xu Changqing was stunned, yes! If you want to kill me, I will go with Liu Yuan a long time ago!

Xu Changqing hurriedly put down the roast chicken, and bowed down to Xue Shao again, "Ask Xue Dudu for guidance!" ”

"You are indeed guilty, but with your knowledge of the laws of this dynasty, you are still guilty and not to death." Xue Shao said, "It is not easy to take the imperial examination in the cold window for ten years, and it is even more difficult to achieve a noble rank of more than five grades." For the sake of my colleagues, I should have given you a chance to make meritorious atonements and become a new person. But there is one thing that is difficult to do, what you did in Hongyun Fort before has made the official lose trust in you! ”

Xu Changqing regretted it too late, and cried speechlessly.

Xue Shao couldn't help but cry and didn't bother.

After a long time, Xue Shao said lightly: "It will take a lot of time to raid Hongyun Castle and liquidate Yang Dong Liuyuan. The people there will soon be under the unified management of the government, and the affairs will be complicated and complicated. Therefore, there is an urgent shortage of manpower at the moment. Since you are so familiar with Hongyun Fort and have the intention to make meritorious contributions to the crime, I will allow you to temporarily dismiss you as a criminal official, do the matter of judicial participation in the military, and go to assist Wu Yanzhang in handling the affairs of Hongyun Fort. ”

From a governor's history to a military officer without agency, he is almost in the end. But Xu Changqing was overjoyed when he heard this, and kowtowed again and again, "Thank you Xue Dudu for not killing!" The prisoner is willing to go, willing to go! The criminal officer must do his best to assist Wu Tingshi, and change his former merits! ”

"Two years." Xue Shao stood up and walked out, "Two years later, the effect of watching will be up and down again!" ”

"Greetings to Xue Dudu!!" Xu Changqing kowtowed behind Xue Shao, thanking Dade for shouting loudly.

Walking out of the prison and riding on the horse, Xue Shao looked at the clear sky above his head and let out a long breath, "The sky in Suizhou is finally clearer." ”

"Childe, I just received a letter from Shi Liu Youqiu, the acting governor of the Governor's Mansion, saying that some officials and gentry from the two prefectures of Yin and Yan came to the Governor's Mansion to surrender and ask for guilt. There were also many gentry and common people who donated a large amount of grain, grass and winter clothing to our army. In addition, there was good news from Li Duozuo in Fengzhou, our army gathered and killed more than 1,000 enemy troops in the Great Wolf Plain, and there were no more Turkic rangers south of Yinshan. Wu Ming said and handed over a letter.

Xue Shao took the letter and looked at it, and couldn't help but smile.

"That's a good thing." Xue Shao put away the letter and shouted, "Let's go, go back to Xiazhou!" ”
