Shuyang Ling is not a local, but a Han Shi from Yangdi, although he has some talents, but his foundation is shallow, if he does not fall to the powerful in the court, and take care of the strong face of the jurisdiction, he will not be able to sit in the position of Shuyang Ling.

Therefore, this Shuyang Ling is to "believe in the party", and in addition, he also has the means to take care of the local heroic face of Shuyang in dealing with miscellaneous affairs.

Of course, this was also before there was no fire at the pier and bandits.

Now this Shuyang Ling feels that he is walking on thin ice, after all, the second prince above and the Ma clan below, he doesn't want to offend, but in the current situation, there is everything to say, which makes it difficult for this Shuyang Ling to make a decision for a while.

The Ma clan sent people to say that there was a civilian riot at the wharf of Shuyang, and he did not intervene, but he got the news that the group of rioting civilians on the wharf was standing behind Gongzixin, and the gang also sent people to say that there was a bandit at the wharf of Shuyang, and he did not dare to interfere blindly, after all, for so many years, under the deliberate management of the Ma clan, the water bandits were the default existence of the Shuyang government and even Wancheng, and the Shuyang Ling was afraid that he was wrong, and both parties would be offended. That's why we are so careful.

However, after receiving a reply from Wancheng today, the big stone finally landed in the heart of the Yang Ling, and of course he couldn't help but sigh: "This Ma clan is over......

……

After inquiry, Lin Yuyan learned that the surname of this Yang Ling is Huang Mingde, and Huang De is not a virtuous official, of course, he is not a complete evil official, although he is talented but not enough to govern the world, so he can only go with the flow.

Lin Yuyan visited this Linghuang De of Shuyang on the day he received the reply from the second emperor's brother, and the latter said very well that he wanted people to give people, grain to give food, and even the treasury of Shuyang could provide convenience as much as possible as long as the prince opened his mouth.

I have to say that the Yang Ling Huang De was so refreshing, but it made Lin Yuyan's disgust for the inaction of the Yang Ling a few days ago a little relieved.

In particular, this Huaiyang Ling also explained: "I really dare not deceive His Royal Highness, although Huang Mou's name is Huaiyang Ling, but he was born in Hanshi, he has just arrived, and if the court's decree is not for the cooperation of these heroes of Shuyang, I am afraid it will be difficult to continue with the strength of a certain person in Huang......"

Only then did Lin Yuyan realize how embarrassing the situation of this Shuyang Ling was, and he also promised to let go that if he returned to Wancheng, he would definitely ask for credit for this Shuyang Ling.

However, when the Shuyang Order brought the roster, Lin Yuyan's face changed after a glance, and there were only two or three hundred names left on the six or seven bamboo slips, which means that the only garrison soldiers that the Shuyang government can equip Lin Yuyan with now are these.

Lin Yuyan was furious on the spot: "Shuyang Order, this son thought that you cooperated with the bandits, but I really didn't expect that you would stumble on this son in a key place!" ”

Shuyang Ling replied in horror: "Don't dare, don't dare... Even if you eat the gall of an ambitious leopard, you don't dare to disobey the edict of the imperial court! ”

"Don't dare?" Lin Yuyan looked at this Yang Ling with a suspicious look, and continued: "I'm afraid there is nothing to dare!" In the old system of the martial state, there were at least 400 defenders in a city and the districts under its jurisdiction, and 600 townsmen, and now you have taken out the roster and there are only two or three hundred people on the roster, could it be that the defenders of the city in Shuyang have all gone to the border to fight! Don't think I can't see it, the scratches on this bamboo slip are obviously the marks of the past two days......"

Hearing this, Shuyang Lingcai looked bitter, hesitated slightly, and then slowly said: "Your Highness doesn't know, the salary and silver customized by Chaoyan is the annual salary of the city defender army is eighty buckets, and the township warrior is forty buckets, which is not much, but it is enough for some people who are not producing, who has few idlers in this big family of Shuyang, and the city defenders don't need to fight, so the big families have put people in, and when they heard that this time they were going to Shuishui to exterminate the water bandits, those people begged the government to cut off the roster, and Huang had to ...... it."

Hearing this, Lin Yuyan's eyes flashed with a fierce look, there is a difficulty, these peacemakers who have enjoyed the supply of the Wuguo Imperial Court on weekdays can't think of anything, what are such Wuguo moths left to do!

After thinking about it again, he looked at Ling Huangde of Shuyang and asked: "Huang Qing, my son sees that you are so struggling in this Shuyang City, and it is indispensable for these big families to stumble, so it is not a good thing for your face in the imperial court, this time to suppress the bandits, not only to suppress the bandits in the water, but also to suppress the bandits in this Shuyang City!" ”

"Your Highness, is this going to attack the big clans in Shuyang City?" Shuyang Ling asked.

Lin Yuyan nodded and admitted, but then said: "It's nothing that the garrison is insufficient, the martial arts are still martial, you can go to recruit and recruit, today you will issue a document to recruit people from the territory of Shuyang who are innocent and meet the conditions to form a new army to defend the city, and the rest, let the existing garrison army go to the Shuyang wharf to station, and move all the weapons in the arsenal to the Shuyang wharf, arm the civilians there, of course, strictly control!" ”

After listening to it, Shuyang Ling felt that it was acceptable, and immediately nodded and explained.

Lin Yuyan was silent, the reason why the city defenders were transferred out was for two reasons, these city defenders were almost from the local area of Shuyang, and they had something to do with the local Haoqiang in Shuyang.

Naturally, it won't!

As for the second, it is to increase the defense force of the Huaiyang Wharf, as the first place for bandits, it is naturally impossible to slack off, Lin Yuyan plans to withdraw the Zong Guard from the Shuyang Wharf, and naturally has to find a way to make up for other forces.

As for Lin Yuyan's intention of pulling out the sect guards...... It's another use.

The city defenders rushed to the Huaiyang Wharf that night, and accompanied them, or a large number of weapons, leather armor, and a recruitment notice left by the children of those big clans who left behind the city defenders.

On the other hand, it was also the Zongwei of the Shuyang Wharf who took advantage of the slight night cover to enter the city.

That night, the clan guards surrounded the mansion of the Ma clan with torches in their hands and fully armed.

However, he didn't expect that Lin Yuyan could be said to be moving quickly, but the Ma family's mansion in Shuyang was already an empty shell, and the building had long been empty.

Jing Yi also caught some tenants and subordinates in the Ma clan's family house, but since these people left them in the house, what information could these people ask.

However, Jing Yi found a lot of good things in the Ma clan, a large number of grains, cloth, gold, silver, bronze, and even ironware, which were also a lot of them.

When Lin Yuyan got the reply, he was also very surprised by the quick reaction of the Ma clan, but he soon issued an order: "It will be said to the outside world that the Ma clan has all been arrested......

Jing Yi was puzzled, and just wanted to ask, but saw that His Royal Highness had turned his gaze to Shuyang Ling Huangde, who had been standing quietly on the side.

Then he smiled maliciously and said, "Next, it's up to Huang Qing's means......"
