However, it is said that Anyi County has been placed since the second year of Emperor Xuan of the Western Han Dynasty (60 BC), and it belongs to Jincheng County, and it was changed to Xiping County during the Jian'an period. As an important post station on the Southern Silk Road, it is destined to become a place where storms meet.

In this place with a population of only 100 households, which only belonged to small and medium-sized counties during the Eastern Han Dynasty, the new chief of An Yi faced many challenges.

Faced with the extremely weak defenders of the city, the groom set himself a goal. He wants to improve their effective combat effectiveness in a short period of time. Otherwise, if Han Sui made a comeback, he would definitely be beaten to the ground.

But he did not have three fires for a new official, because he understood that many things cannot be treated as a symptom or a root cause, there is no one-size-fits-all thing in the world, and if you want to make a difference, you must have methods and perseverance.

As soon as he entered the city, the groom immediately ordered the soldiers not to disturb the people, otherwise they would be killed. One of the soldiers, perhaps so casual that he ignored the groom's orders, slapped his ass on the butt and walked away after sneaking into the inn to eat and drink at will.

When the groom learned of the situation, he did not punish him immediately, which emboldened some soldiers.

After several disturbances, the groom chose a sunny morning to gather representatives of the prominent clans and civilians of Anyi City to discuss how to punish the five soldiers who disturbed the people.

What puzzled the people of Anyi was that the groom even allowed five soldiers who were disturbing the people to participate in the discussion.

A soldier shamelessly said: "I was born and died for you, what's wrong with eating something?" Without us, you would have been trampled into pulp by Han Sui's cavalry! ”

Min Hao, one of the four gates of Anyi, immediately retorted: "The people are parents, how can there be a reason for younger generations to spread wildness on their parents' heads?" ”

It is said that Anyi has four famous families, among which the most wealthy and influential is the Min family, and the helmsman of the Min family is this Min Hao.

When the soldier heard this, he scolded loudly: "You fart, you are embarrassed to call yourself your parents as a person who scavenges the people's fat and ointment all day long? Moth! You are the moth of Anyi, the moth of Xiliang, and the moth of Dahan! ”

When the other famous families heard this, they were in an uproar, and this soldier turned his words around and directly pointed the finger at them.

With his hands behind his back, the groom spun around behind their backs, just smiling and not saying anything.

This makes the prestigious and famous people wonder. Originally, they were still in awe of this young man who defeated Han Sui without being crowned and was appointed as the head of An Yi, but now he can actually condone the soldiers to insult them.

Several other soldiers who disturbed the people saw that the groom was not angry, and continued to bombard the four famous gates.

One of the soldiers said: "Don't think we are just going to eat and drink, in fact, we are here to find out the news and understand the people's feelings." The owner of an inn told me personally that you so-called famous families privately annexed their land and increased the 'field rent' privately, and the former chief An Yi did not want to join you, but you united to isolate him, and in the end he could only turn a blind eye and close one eye. ”

After the soldier said this, he deliberately turned his head to look at the groom.

The groom smiled and said to everyone: "You go on, you are free, I just listen casually, before noon today, you just have to give me a result!" ”

The five soldiers suddenly felt that the groom was supporting them, and immediately became rampant, and they scolded those famous families as they spoke.

Seeing that they had behaved a little excessively, and that the famous men were also full of complaints, he shouted loudly: "Who gave you the guts? No mistakes! Don't think I dare not kill you, but I'm afraid that you will dirty my hands! ”

As soon as they heard this, the soldiers fell into hell again, and the famous men began to concentrate on discussing what to do with them.

Some famous families say that they will kill their heads directly; Some famous families say that five horses are divided into corpses; There are even more famous people who say that a thousand cuts!

The groom has summed it up, these soldiers have exposed their shortcomings, and they will definitely let them die a good death!

Seeing that the representatives of the common people were playing the role of spectators throughout, the groom encouraged them: "Feel free to share your opinions!" There is no right or wrong, and everyone here has their own say. ”

One or two old men with gray temples said: "The world is not peaceful at the moment, everything should be dealt with by the general's military law, but the general seems to be conniving at them, I don't know if the general wants to bury the thousand defenders under your command?" ”

The horseman didn't expect the old man to point the finger at him, pretended to cough twice, and said rather embarrassedly: "What the old man said, what the old man said is that his subordinates are at fault, and it must be that I, the leader, have not done my duty." ”

"How dare you! The general is also a person who understands! It's good for the old man to be a general, but I still hope that the general's orders are unified, and the rewards and punishments are clear! ”

Mafu cupped his chin thoughtfully.

One of the men looked a little impatient, and said to the horseman: "General Ma, please make a quick decision, I still have important things to do!" ”

The groom glanced at him a few times, and said, "You plan to leave like this?" ”

"Huh?" The four famous families had almost the same reaction, and they vaguely smelled a bad atmosphere.

"Of course we can't let them go like that! These guys who scavenged the people's fat and ointment should be divided into five horses! A soldier regained his courage and added fuel to the fire.

The groom nodded slightly, but did not say much.

Those famous families immediately became angry, and Min Hao even scolded: "What are you guys? I really don't know what to do, we let you die in the third watch, and you don't want to live until the fifth watch! ”

"Oh?" The groom stared at Min Hao with an incredible look, Min Hao clenched his fists and glared at the groom, which had the taste of having a big fight with him.

Seeing that the situation was not right, another famous family hurriedly said: "Don't make the atmosphere so tense, I think General Ma is really hard to defend our Anyi, why don't we each honor you and wash your dust?" ”

Ma Fu shook his head helplessly and said: "The five of them are really going to be punished, but I also learned from the people that your four famous families also seem to often disturb the people and make the people miserable, how can this be explained?" ”

Several famous families looked at each other a few times, and Min Hao said bluntly: "General Ma, let's just say anything straight, don't beat around the bush like this, although I am poor, I have two or three bones!" ”

Ma Fu said: "Since Min Ye said it so bluntly, I won't beat around the bush." Now Anyi City needs to be heightened and strengthened to prepare for Han Sui's sneak attack, in addition, there are many hungry people in the city now, and a few wealthy people should give something out? ”

Min Hao laughed and said, "Isn't it all the way for me to be General Ma and others?" It turned out that the world was as black as a crow. To tell you the truth, we have the silver taels, but as for whether to give it to you or not, it depends on whether you have the ability to do it! ”

As soon as the horseman heard that he was so rampant, he immediately put the knife on his neck and said, "Master Min, I know that you are very powerful in the Anyi area, but now that you are in my hands, don't be rampant!" ”

Min Hao said unhurriedly: "I didn't grow up being scared. I've also lived in the shadow of a sword for decades. You can kill me at any time, but I advise you to think about it! ”

Ma Fu was stunned, he originally just wanted to make An Yi's famous family bleed, but who would have expected to encounter such a difficult bone.

Min Hao's forces in the Anyi area, he still found out in advance. Although the people of Anyi complained deeply about him, most of them dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, after all, he was rich and wealthy, and he had a close relationship with the outlaws in this area, as long as he waved his hand, there would immediately be a group of outlaws to do things for him. Many murders in Anyi are inseparable from him.

"Don't, don't, don't make such a fuss!" Seeing this, a doorman hurried out to extinguish the fire.

Ma Fu smiled and put down his sword and said, "General Ben just wants to joke with Master Min. It's almost noon now, and I don't think anyone is talking about it! Otherwise, five soldiers disturbed the people, but the crime did not lead to death, and in the battle of Anyi, they performed well. Recently in Xiu'an Yi City, I will give them fifty military sticks each with a rod, and then send them to be coolies! ”

After the groom said this, the five soldiers quickly bowed down in gratitude, and the groom said, "According to my orders, you will surely die." But considering that now is the time to employ people, you should do it yourself! Now it's time to get out! ”

The five people hurriedly led out of the lobby.

The horseman looked at several representatives of the people and said, "Please go to the side hall to take a rest, I have something to talk to them!" ”

Several people also knew the horseman's intentions, and quickly stepped into the side hall.

Ma Fu smiled and said to Min Hao at this time: "Master Min is a straightforward person, everyone is also a straightforward person, this general opened the skylight and said bright words, in fact, all the evil deeds that your four famous families have done before, this general is clear." It's easy to kill you. But why didn't General Ben do it? ”

The groom deliberately left a suspense, and a door immediately understood, and hurriedly said: "Thank you for the general's grace of not killing, the general's might, a few of us have already heard that if there is anything that needs a few of us to serve, the general just said clearly, a few of us will definitely go to the soup and die!" ”

That Min Hao suddenly turned around and said behind everyone's back: "I didn't say this, and I didn't hear anything!" ”

Ma Fu forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and said to several other famous families: "Master Min is a smart person, now he is just confused for a while, I will try my best to enlighten him!" As for all of you, you must have all heard of the power of Han Sui's cavalry array. Now the soldiers I lead have no good horses, no good weapons, and some silver taels are needed to fortify the city of Anyi. If you can make up for the general's merits, this general can ignore the past suspicions! ”

"Good! These are what we should do! "In addition to Min Hao, several other famous families are very refreshing.

The horseman walked up to Min Hao, patted him on the shoulder and said, "As for those hungry people in the city, there is Lao Min Ye!" ”

Min Hao glared back at him and didn't answer.

Ma Fu thought secretly: "So rampant, it seems that I don't give you a little color to see, you really think you are an uncle!" ”

After greeting a few more famous families, the groom said goodbye to them one by one.

At this time, he invited a few people from the side hall and said, "Everyone, the reason why I asked you to come here today is not just to let you discuss how to deal with those soldiers!" Presumably, you all know the actual situation of the four famous families, but you dare not speak out, here today, if you have any good ideas about the governance of Anyi, you can speak freely! ”

An old man said tremblingly: "It's rare that a general has the heart to govern the people, I have an old bone, and I'm not afraid of anything." If the famous family is not removed, it will be difficult to peace! Please also ask the general to be clear! ”

"If the famous family is not removed, it will be difficult to peace?" Ma Fu did know that the four famous families of Anyi were intertwined with each other, shielding and supporting each other, and had a bad influence in Anyi's area, but he really didn't expect that their destructive power would reach such a level ......;
