Silence, wordlessness.

In the living room, the atmosphere became stagnant.

No official stood up to speak, Lei Heng also sat in the living room with a cold expression, his face was as heavy as water, his eyes flashed with a fierce look, and his eyes were like crazy beasts, ready to choose people to devour at any time.

"Whew... Whew......" Lei Heng's eyes narrowed slightly, took a deep breath, and asked, "Can anyone tell me who is the person who stabbed me in Xicheng today, and who are the people who are related to him?" Who are the people with whom he is in regular contact? Who are the people who plotted to assassinate me? ”

Lei Heng's voice fell, and there was still no movement in the hall, but no official stood up to speak.

"Could it be that no one knows about Changning?" Lei Heng said with a sneer.

At this time, the old man who sat first on the left side of the hall stood up.

The old man had white hair and beard, was dressed in a black robe, and was holding a cane in his hand, tremblingly walked to the living room, saluted Lei Heng, and said: "Lord Captain, the military general who assassinated the adult today is named Zhang Qi, and he is the brother of Zhang Fang, the head of the house. ”

"Zhang Qi's crime was committed by Zhang Qi alone, no one else knows, and there are no accomplices, please let the adults know." When the old man spoke, he was full of energy, his words were correct and round, and he did not have the slightest fear.

"Hahaha...... It turned out to be Zhang Fang's own brother Zhang Qi, well, what a Zhang Qi, who dared to commit murder in broad daylight. It's really daring. Lei Heng's eyes widened, and he roared loudly at the officials sitting in the hall.

With a turn of his gaze, Lei Heng's gaze fell on the outside of the living room, and shouted, "Where is the armor outside the door?" ”

Outside the living room, Han Hao heard Lei Heng shouting, and immediately ran in with two soldiers. Walking to the center of the living room, Han Hao knelt on one knee on the ground and arched his hand: "Lord, Han Hao is on standby." ”

Lei Heng's eyes were cold, and he ordered in a deep voice: "Zhang Qi commits the following crimes, his crime is unforgivable, and he will be shown to the public for three days." In addition, notices were posted ordering officials of Changning County to report and expose each other, and all those involved in the case were to be killed on the spot. ”

Lei Heng said in the end, he was already angry to the extreme, almost word for word, and gritted his teeth and finished the last sentence.

"No!" Hearing this, Han Hao replied with a fist, and then prepared to leave the hall with the soldiers.

"Wait!" Zheng Tai, who was standing on the side, hurriedly got up and called Han Hao to stop.

Han Hao glanced back at Lei Heng and waited for Lei Heng's order.

Lei Heng waved his hand and motioned for Han Hao not to move for the time being.

Zheng Tai lifted his robe and knelt down, and said with a straight face: "Lord, Zhang Qi is bold and reckless, and he rebelled and rebelled, but Zhang Qi did it alone, and it has nothing to do with other officials. Besides, the lord has been blessed by the heavens and is not injured, please take a break from the wrath of the thunder and slowly investigate the people involved! ”

Zheng Tai's words were earnest, and the officials nodded again and again. Moreover, the officials present also understood that if Lei Heng implemented the Zhulian, I am afraid that half of the local officials would be killed.

In troubled times, soldiers are like bandits, this sentence is not unreasonable.

Lei Heng listened to Zheng Tai's words, but his brows frowned slightly, and a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes.

At this time, the old man who spoke before got up again, knelt beside Zheng Tai and said, "Lord Captain, Mr. Zheng's words are reasonable. Please also think twice. ”

"Please think twice." With the first bird, the officials in the living room also got up one after another, bowed to Lei Heng, knelt in the living room and shouted: "Please think twice before acting." ”

There is a way to punish the public, and if there are too many people, it will naturally be difficult to deal with. These officials are all old oilmen of officialdom, and they don't leave their hands behind. Seeing Zheng Tai's words to stop him, some people echoed him, and they all stood up to advise Lei Heng.

A mysterious smile flashed at the corner of Lei Heng's mouth, and he immediately put it away and asked in a deep voice: "Zheng Tai, you are a bodhisattva." What if someone assassinates the Honshu pastor again? ”

Zheng Tai looked stunned, as if he hadn't thought of this problem. He was silent for a moment, and then said, "Tai is willing to use his life to protect the officials!" If someone assassinates the lord again, Tai will first destroy the entire clan of the officials involved, and then commit suicide to thank the lord. ”

After Lei Heng heard this, he laughed and sneered: "Zheng Tai, what you think is too simple, even if you are the guarantor, how can you guarantee that among the people present, there are not one or two people with evil intentions?" If I have been slain, what is the use of destroying all the officials and all the people? ”

Zheng Tai was suddenly choked by Lei Heng's question, and his eyes showed a contemplative look.

The old man who had answered before replied again: "The words of the captain are reasonable. The subordinate Xicheng Ling Lin Hong dared to propose that the officials above the county fighting food be transferred to each other, which could not only prevent future troubles, but also show that the captain was magnanimous! ”

Lei Heng smiled when he saw this situation. The purpose seems to have been achieved. sings white-faced, Jung-tae sings red-faced, this scene should end.

"Good, good. Just according to your word. With Zheng Tai as the governor of the school, you will be the governor of Ningjun and the post, and you will assist in facilitating this matter. ”

When Lin Hong heard this, he respectfully bowed to Lei Heng: "My lord is as good as a stream, wise and benevolent, and there are adults who protect Nanban and lead Changning County, which is really a blessing for us." ”

After Lin Hong's words came out, the officials kneeling behind Lin Hong also shouted Lei Heng's wisdom and benevolence, and in the entire hall, the shouts of the officials kept echoing.

In October of the sixth year of Guanghe, Lei Heng took advantage of Zhang Fang's rebellion to change Cao Peng, Shi, and the county commanders through purges, dismissals, and recommendations, and completely controlled Changning County from then on.

In October of the sixth year of Guanghe, Changning County (Xicheng County, Xi County, Shangyong County, Fangling County) had 13,678 households (13,678 households) and a population of 95,183 (95,183 people), of which 16,547 (16,547 Ding) were young and strong. Lei Heng took Zheng Tai as the long history, Zheng Hun as the main book, and Xi Zhong as the adviser to join the army, and implemented measures such as rectifying the rule of officials, persuading agriculture and mulberry, lightly dispensing with small endowments, encouraging childbirth, and building water conservancy.

The army eliminated the old, weak and remnant soldiers, and selected elite soldiers from various counties to form a 200-person personal guard battalion, with Dian Wei and Zhuang Xia as the generals; A 2,000 sharp battalion was formed, led by Han Hao and Lin Sheng, and intensified training. Select 200 loyal and capable young men to form a guard, led by Sui Sheng, responsible for the captain's mansion and important strategists, military generals' mansions and family guards; More than 100 reliable and capable rangers were recruited to supplement the Shadow Guard Battalion, which was also managed by Xi Zhong. Each county trained 200 to 500 county soldiers with soldiers and thieves Cao Cao.

Lei Heng was full of ambition, Changning was already ready, just waiting for He Jin to capture Ma Yuanyi and force Zhang Jiao to launch the Yellow Turban Uprising... Wait, what about Zhang Qian, who said yes, will defect in the near future? It won't exist in a geist state for seven days, but because there is no suitable host, it's back to the netherworld.

Lei Heng hurriedly called the skill system: "Hurry up and check, why hasn't Zhang Qian defected to me yet?" ”

(Skill System): Wait a minute, the system will check it immediately.

(Skill system): The system verification is completed: Zhang Qian, who defected to Carl more than 20 days ago, is now the county of Shangyong County.

"What? How did I not know? Lei Heng was surprised, suddenly thought of something, and asked eagerly: "Didn't you say that the talents summoned by (recruiting talents) must refine their bodies and possess souls before they can appear in the world?" Why didn't it ......?"

(Skill System): Hehe, it's not because the system is intelligent and considerate.

"Did you sacrifice my pet on your own initiative? Which ......" Lei Heng was most nervous about the few elite-level pets in his hands.

(Skill System): Considering that Carl may have forgotten or had no time to refine his soul for summoned talents, the system automatically enables the auxiliary function by default. Automatically sacrifice the pets with the best quality, the highest level, and the strongest combat power (in turn) to ensure that the four-dimensional attributes of talents are the best.

(Skill system): Carl had the best quality of pets at that time as "Elite", which were Big Turtle (Elite), number 1, LV40 #5, attack power 11-24, and intelligence sensitivity 4. Bamboo Leaf Green (Elite), Quantity 1, LV42 #6, Attack Power 18-48, Intelligence Sensitivity 6, Venom LV2.

Monkey King (Elite), Quantity 1, LV43 #4, Attack 18-35, Intelligence 6. So choose to automatically sacrifice the highest level of the Monkey King (Elite).

(Skill System): Zhang Qian (deceased, retains 90% of the attributes of the previous life), Command 52, Force 50, Intelligence 74, Politics 77. (Diplomatic) professional value 87. Carl's pet - Monkey King (Elite), quantity 0.

"Shameless! A talent summoned out of the hall lost nearly 30 attributes for no reason, and was downgraded from Class A to Class B talent! Protest, this system doesn't work! How could Lei Heng accept such a system setting, and couldn't help but shout and scold in his heart.

(Skill System): Please keep up the quality! The reason for this series of restrictions is that the main program must ensure that it is fair and reasonable to ensure the host's crossing experience. In addition, the pet battle bonus is still valid, and the owner can even participate in defeating the pet himself, so as to persuade high-level pets and improve the attribute retention rate......

Lei Heng interrupted angrily and said, "Could it be that I can find some rare pets and lead the army to capture them one by one?" ”

(Skill system): Of course, you can't win through despicable means such as group beatings and poisoning, otherwise the pet experience will be directly deducted to 0.

"Restrict here, restrict there, what privileges does the host have?" Lei Heng couldn't help but look at the system, and said: "Hehe, you are the system, you just have fun!" ”

(Skill System): Wrong! As long as it does not violate the principle of reasonableness, it does not conflict with the program setting. All the host's requirements will be met!

"That's called Daddy!"

(Skill System): ..................

"Okay, disgusting you once, I'm in a good mood! Just call it 'host'! Lei Heng's words changed sharply, and he returned to the truth: "Is there any way to find out where there are high-level pets?" ”

(Skill System): The host comes with a natural skill ((Life Detection). In the last system upgrade, the effect has been automatically improved - it can actively scan wildlife within 30 kilometers, or automatically read the basic attributes of life forms in the field of vision, and the information cannot be provided by life forms that are not understood or recognized.

(Skill System): The host can meditate and scan for nearby wildlife. The scan results will be loaded in the simulated map image of the host's mind in a white, green, yellow, red, etc. The denser the bio points, the greater the number of organisms; The darker the color, the higher the creature's level.

Lei Heng nodded, and followed the system's instructions to start scanning the wildlife nearby.

There were some white dots gathered within a radius of several kilometers from the Captain's Mansion, but Lei Heng's gaze flashed without stopping at all. It's just some chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep, and the poultry that can be seen in ordinary times are not of high grade and quality, so naturally Lei Heng can't be interested.

The field of vision spread out again, and Lei Heng finally found one or two green dots scattered in the sporadic way, eighty percent of which were scattered wolves, foxes, eagles and snakes, looking for an opportunity to tame them one by one.

Lei Heng's vision continued to spread outward, and when he was about to reach the limit of the scanning range, he was surprised to find that there was a yellow dot that was still moving in his direction!

Yellow dots. Lei Heng boldly guessed based on the known pet level, it should be a pet above level 50, or even around level 60.

Will it be a tiger? Wild boar? Python?

Whatever, if you have nothing to do, you might as well take the opportunity to catch it.

Lei Heng came back from his meditation and shouted outside the house, "Dian Wei—"

"The subordinates are here, what does the lord command!"

Today is Dian Wei on duty, he heard Lei Heng's call, hurriedly agreed, and waited for the order.

"Take the guard camp and follow me out of the city to hunt—"
