After the matter of suppressing the bandits, Xiao Zhi also accelerated the progress, not only posted notices in the city, but also posted notices on the city walls outside the city, as long as the darkness is abandoned at this time, the innocent will be directly edicted, and the guilty will also be given a way to live.

"It's really good, now such a result, even if it is sent to my father, I will definitely not be able to find fault!" The emperor has always been strict with him, and now he can finally be satisfied.

Xu Min said: "The emperor must be pleased. "The crown prince has been approved by the emperor, so he didn't come to the prince's side in vain, and he can give an explanation to his father-in-law.

Xiao Zhi asked the people of the yamen to count the number of people, and there was basically no fault for coming to defect, and now it is too late to turn back, and there is nothing wrong with him, after all, he is afraid that the yamen will turn over the old accounts.

The prince thought that it would be over, but Xiao Zhi felt that it would not work, the rest of the mountains must be all beaten, and the responsibilities need to be clear, and the responsibility for the suppression of bandits in the future must also be shared, in this way, if Xue Ling wants a black yarn hat, he must ensure that there can be no more bandits and bandits during his tenure, otherwise these bandits will definitely resurgence in a few days, and all the things he has done will be useless.

In this regard, the prince felt that it was easy to do, and this time he calmed a lot of people, and let Xue Ling take it with the city guards to resist, and the bandits could not breed in the future.

"Your Highness, there are some things that I don't know whether to say or not." Xiao Zhi said, the prince still hasn't understood the market in Shuobei today, a small Lihong County is so rampant around the bandits, let alone other places in Shuobei? Today, even if the prince gets rid of Lihong County, he still can't change the "folk customs" that have been formed in Shuobei over the years, and he feels that the existence of bandits is normal, which is not normal in itself, and it is not a good thing for Yanyun.

After Xiao Zhi said all these things, the prince also noticed that although the bandits in Shuobei had been rampant for many years, if no one connived, even if the emperor was far away, it would not be so rampant.

"Then according to Lord Xiao's thoughts, what should this palace do?" The prince asked politely.

Xu Min, who was standing aside, had to admire, the prince was really condescending, why should he ask Xiao Zhi as a courtier?

Xiao Zhi was not polite here, and directly said his thoughts: "It's better to maintain the original state of the city guard now, and these people from Xinzhao'an will become a city patrol army, controlled by the yamen, so that it can avoid any slack on either side, and it can also avoid someone wanting to cover the sky with one hand." ”

The prince guessed the weight of Xue Ling in the banditry, but he only guessed, and even if he was the prince, it would not work to remove Taishou without any evidence, and now Xiao Zhi's method is also good, even if it is just a suspicion, Xiao Zhi's method is enough to shut everyone's mouths, and it is indeed the common people who benefit in the end.

What he needs now is to maintain the imperial power and the heavenly gifts in the hearts of the people, which could not be better.

"That's it!" The prince said.

Xiao Zhi smiled, he knew that Xue Ling could not move in a day, and now he was also saving people for himself, in case Xue Ling would be hard in the future!

On the other hand, Xue Ling heard that the prince was going to organize the people of Xinzhao'an into a city patrol army and handed it over to Xiao Zhi, he was almost angry, how far does this Xiao Zhi want to be a demon? Now that there are even soldiers and horses, is this a declaration of war on the surface?

"My lord, things are not simple, although it is only Lihong County now, but in the future, I am afraid that other places will also weaken the power of the city guard..."

Xue Ling shook his head: "This is impossible, I have been an official here for so many years, and I have met Xiao Zhi who is so soft and hard, and the rest are all cowards, not to mention whether they have that brain, even those who are brave are frightened, and they will not know how to write the word "resistance" at all!" On the surface, he is too conservative on the "approachable" side, but if he is really an honest person, how can he suppress the following people?

Master Zhao thought for a while, and then said, "Then what now?" Xiao Zhi was afraid that he couldn't hold it back. ”

"He's just a big fart in Lihong County, and he won't be here for the rest of his life, just wait for him to leave!" Xue Ling said, now he wants to endure it, isn't it just a little political achievement for the official, he should give it to Xiao Zhi, and when the people leave, he is still the emperor of the soil in the north of Shuo!

The suppression of bandits in Lihong County made Xiao Zhi famous, and at the same time, among the young people who sent officials, they were also named and commended by the emperor, which made the Xiao family very face-saving.

Although Mrs. Xiao felt sorry for her son and went to the broken place where birds don't, she now feels that it is really worth it, and her son is also angry, so that she is also full of glory in the circle of noblewomen, and the three words of pride are inseparable from her son.

Mrs. Chu also felt sour, her son didn't seem to have moved at all, and she didn't know if he could be transferred back to Beijing after the three-year term.

"I heard that Shuobei is poor and chaotic, and it is estimated that life will not be easy!" Mrs. Chu said in a weird way.

How could Mrs. Xiao not know the little Jiujiu in Mrs. Chu's heart, so she said: "Isn't it, such a broken place can also make achievements, and it is also praised by the emperor, which can better reflect the excellence of my son, and the daughter-in-law is also taking care of her, the days are very good, it is estimated that I will be able to hold my grandson soon, but Mrs. Chu is more difficult, the little son has not started a family, and the days when he is alone outside are miserable, and the grandson's affairs have also been delayed!" ”

After some words, Mrs. Chu's stomach was sour, but who made Mrs. Xiao's son angry! In the end, I could only focus on Mrs. Su.

Mrs. Su didn't want to join this conversation, she couldn't marry the Xiao family, and now Xiao Zhi is out, and her own family is also embarrassed, but before the Su family and the Chu family almost got married, and later for the sake of her daughter, she blew it, she was embarrassed by both families, no matter what she said, she was upset, and finally laughed twice, and her mouth was closed tightly.

Mrs. Xiao returned home proudly, but she was still worried about another matter.

"I don't know if there is any movement in the belly of the red bean, and I said that I will come back quickly if I am pregnant, and my neck is long!" Mrs. Xiao and Old Man Xiao muttered.

Master Xiao said, "Why are you so worried about it? You have to meddle in your children's affairs to show your status, right? I think that the kid with Hongdou has to follow Xiao Zhi's kid so far, I guess I'm afraid that you will talk about it every day at home! ”

Mrs. Xiao was speechless: "Is this disgusting for my broken mouth to be able to read?" It's really a shame that people don't welcome you when you're young, but you don't have so much to do when you're young! ”

As soon as Master Xiao saw that the signal was coming, he hurriedly ran to the study, and the result of talking back to Mrs. Xiao was always miserable...

Mrs. Xiao called Mrs. Xiao over the next morning, and she was also respectful in front of her mother-in-law.

"I was able to get to the koi last night, it should be Ji Meng, a check of the book of life, saying that this is an omen of many children and grandchildren, I wonder if the red bean should be happy?" As soon as Mrs. Tai's words came out, Mrs. Xiao said, "This... Can you? "It's a dream, after all...

"You write to ask, Hongdou's kid may not be willing to come back by Xiao Zhi himself!" Mrs. Tai said, the Xiao family has been passed down for several generations, and they are all staring at Xi Hongdou's belly!

Mrs. Xiao thought about it this way, and it was always right to ask, so she hurriedly wrote a letter and sent it out, the thing is really pregnant and should be taken back to Kyoto City early, the place in Shuobei is dry and cold in winter, and it is really not suitable for raising a fetus!

On the other hand, Xiao Zhi has not given up looking for the fake fish seller, as long as he can find this person, he can identify the Guo family.

Today's yamen is different from the past, the yamen is almost all captured, and the city patrol army is pinched in Xiao Zhi's hands, and the majesty of the yamen has replaced all the rich squires in the city.

The Guo family is the most anxious now, now Xiao Zhi just doesn't have any substantive evidence from him, but if there is, he will definitely not let him go, the poisoning thing before was not successful, and it is unlikely to do it now.

"Liquidate the assets, this Lihong County can't stay any longer." Guo Linjiang asked Zhao to hurry up and leave Lihong County, and find an opportunity to make a comeback in the future.

Master Zhao didn't expect that Guo Linjiang had been calling for wind and rain in Lihong County for so many years, and he could be forced to this situation, but now Xue Ling is being restrained by that Xiao Zhi, and the people behind them are not relying on the power of the Xiao family, and now they are directly on the crown prince, Xue Ling can't afford to provoke them and can only hide, and they have no choice.

The news that the Guo family was going to leave reached Xiao Zhi, which made Xiao Zhi's face look bad, he was still waiting to liquidate the Guo family, and now there is no strong evidence, at this time the Guo family is going to run, what reason does he have to leave people behind?

"What do you want to do?" Xi Hongdou asked, the prince is not only going to clean up the bandits around Lihong County now, but the entire Shuobei Prefecture is cleared with medicine, so naturally he won't stay here for too long, and the matter of the household disaster relief is almost the same now, and the people of the household department are also leaving, Xiao Zhi won the battle, but it seems that the mood is not much better.

For Xiao Zhi, it was originally to suppress bandits for the sake of fighting the squire, but now he has everything in a circle, but he can't cure the one he wants to cure the most, and he is really in a bad mood. But even so, even if he has power in his hands, he doesn't want to use it indiscriminately, he is a county order, and weapons are laws, not more people than anyone else!

"The Guo family wants to escape now, and there is nothing I can do." Xiao Zhi said, unless you find the fake fish seller.

Xi Hongdou also felt a little awkward, and the evil things of the Guo family are estimated to be more than this, but without evidence, no one can do anything. But Xiao Zhi didn't act as aggressively as before, which made her feel strange.

"I thought you were going to do something." Xi Hongdou said.

Xiao Zhi smiled, he was deeply impressed by the blindfolded goddess that Xi Hongdou told him, now that he is a parent official, he naturally can't just rely on his own enthusiasm to act rashly, only if he doesn't make mistakes, can he save more people.
