After Cao Ying's death, Zhang also quickly cleared the battlefield and housed prisoners and booty. After consulting Lu Heng, he sent two communication soldiers, one to Kangcheng to inform Yang Kenan of the good news, and the other to the Southern Army barracks on the Pucheng front line to inform Li Weiru of the news that Cao Ying had died.

In the afternoon, the reorganized guard regiment was departed, and the army went to Cannes to camp.

Yang Kenan and Ma Bond, who had already received the news, organized the people of the whole city to come to greet them, and Lu Heng rode a tall white horse, surrounded by Zhang Yi and others, and walked in the front.

When Lu Heng entered the city, the people of the whole city shouted "Long live the county magistrate", the sound of firecrackers was endless, and the artists of the dragon and lion dances played loudly in the open space in front of them, the gongs and drums were noisy, and the atmosphere was extremely warm.

Lu Heng stopped and waved his hand, this action instantly detonated the audience, and the cheers shook the sky!

Ma Bangde and Yang Kenan walked towards Lu Heng amid cheers, and both of them could not hide their joyful faces.

"Congratulations to the triumph of the eldest brother (county magistrate)!" The two of them said loudly together.

"Congratulations to the county magistrate for his triumph!" All the people shouted together, and the sound was clear to the world.

"The people's hearts are available, big brother!" Ma Bond said excitedly, "Big brother, as soon as the news from your side came over, the number of people who came to the conscription point to apply for the conscription site doubled!" Everyone is rushing to be your commander Lu's soldiers! ”

Lu Heng smiled and said to Zhang Yi: "You are an expert in military affairs, do you think we can control it with the existing manpower if we continue to recruit soldiers?" ”

Zhang Yi said solemnly: "Don't worry, as long as the military budget is sufficient, how much I want, how much I want!" ”

"Okay, then keep going!" Lu Heng nodded.

"Yes, Dashuai!" Zhang Yi clenched his fists and took his life.

Since Lu Heng rescued Zhang Yi from Cao Ying's killer, Zhang Yi began to become respectful to Lu Heng. Lu Heng didn't correct it, since Zhang Yi felt that this was a repayment, then let him be. It is not a good thing to give grace without repaying it.

Lu Heng looked around and said to Ma Bond: "You made up this scene?" ”

Ma Bond scoffed, "I don't have that much appeal. ”

He Nunu said: "It's those squires, who shook their faces with us a few days ago, thinking that Cao Ying will die as soon as he comes, and there are even people who go to give gifts to Cao Ying, saying 'looking forward to Wang Shi's southern expedition', as soon as the news of Cao Ying's death came, good guys, the family came to me with a carriage of gifts to celebrate the triumph ......of the county magistrate."

Zhang Yi sneered: "A bunch of wall grass!" ”

Yang Kenan smiled: "They just want to live, and it's no wonder that they are." ”

Lu Heng couldn't help frowning when he heard this, but he didn't say anything.

"Let's go, go back to Liu's Mansion."

"Big brother, then they ......," Ma Bond gestured to the squires who stood in a row of cowering squires.

Lu Heng looked over, and the group of squires immediately bowed and sneered, and they all laughed.

Lu Heng retracted his gaze and said lightly: "Check whether these squires have any evil deeds of bullying men and women, and if they do, they will be dealt with according to law, if they are good gentlemen, they will be rewarded!" ”

Ma Bangde said: "I think it's just a check, these squires were shot one by one, and none of them were wronged!" ”

Lu Heng ignored him and said to Yang Ke: "Overcome difficulties, you are most familiar with Kangcheng, this matter will be handed over to you, give me a result within three days." ”

Yang Kenan looked embarrassed and said, "County magistrate, if it is really investigated, I am afraid that this group of squires will not survive." Is the scale of law enforcement appropriately relaxed? ”

Lu Heng smiled and said: "How to enforce the law you decide, I just want the result." ”

Yang Kenan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yes, county magistrate, within three days, I will definitely give the county magistrate a satisfactory answer!" ”

Lu Heng nodded, glanced at the three of them for a week, and said: "Since Zhang Yi is here, the stall of conscription and reorganization will be handed over to him to manage, and Kenan will be in charge of the county's government affairs and public security for the time being, Lao Ma, you will be our big housekeeper." What kind of talent helpers are needed, as long as they are reliable, they will be recruited. ”

"Yes, the county magistrate (big handsome)!" The three of them responded in unison.

Lu Heng nodded with satisfaction and said, "You guys do your job, don't worry about me." ”

"Marshal, I'll send a company to protect you." Zhang Yidao.

"It's fine." Lu Heng responded.

Three days later.

Zhang Yi had already completed the conscription work, and a total of 34,000 people were recruited, far exceeding the number that Lu Heng expected.

However, in this troubled era, the more soldiers the better, Lu Heng is an extremely insecure person, which is why although he has no intention of military affairs, he insists on developing his power.

After Zhang also obtained Lu Heng's consent, he decided to mix these sources of troops into three divisions, and after the reorganization was completed, it was when Lu Dashuai officially took office.

On the morning of the third day, Yang Kenan put the results of the investigation of the squires in front of Lu Heng in advance.

Rao is Lu Heng had been mentally prepared, but after seeing the evil deeds of these squires, he still felt shocked!

"In March of the sixth year of the Republic of China, the Zhang family seized a total of 100 acres of fertile land from 36 villagers in Hanjia Village, and colluded with bandits' to kill 74 villagers, including 17 children under the age of 10, and robbed 27 people's daughters, making Hanjia Village a ghost village."

"In March of the seventh year of the Republic of China, Li Tianlai, the evil young man of the Li family, raped the wife of Hu Laofu'er, the Hu family's oil shop, and was resisted, and actually instructed more than 30 of his subordinates to insult this woman to death, and afterwards killed Hu Laofu'er and one of his children, and set fire to the Hu family's oil shop."

"In September of the seventh year of the Republic of China, the head of the Huang family listened to the words of the Taoist priest You Fang, and used the blood of his son as a medicine to treat his son who had been stupid for many years. For three months, every day, he collected babies from a radius of 100 miles, disemboweled, or forcibly bought, or stolen, until three months later, his stupid child suddenly died. ”

……

A series of appalling evil things were placed in front of Lu Heng's eyes, even though Lu Heng had never realized that he was a righteous person, he was still filled with righteous indignation, only feeling that his heart was steaming with anger, and he hated to kill these evil people cleanly!

"When I first came to Cannes, I only felt that Cannes was rich and the people were healthy." Lu Heng sighed, "I can't imagine that behind the surface of peace, there are so many evils. That's true of Cannes, but what about the rest of the world? ”

Yang Kenan was silent and said: "Now that the mountains and rivers are broken, where is this not the case?" Cannes is indeed good, the people can survive, it is a blessing, and those who can't survive can only blame themselves for their bad luck. ”

"Bad luck......" Lu Heng smacked this sentence, only to feel that his heart was very heavy.

"What are you going to do?" Lu Heng asked him.

Yang Kenan was silent for a while, and said, "Fine." ”

Lu Heng raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "It's strange that I still have the courage to try Cao Shaoxuan in the face of Cao Shaoxuan and shoot him in public." Why are you so timid about a few squires? ”

Yang Kenan smiled bitterly: "County magistrate, do you know how many people in Kangcheng rely on these squires to survive? It's more than half! ”

"Almost half of the fields in Cannes belong to them, and almost all the business in the city is also owned by the major squires. The people either farmed for them or worked in their shops. If you dare to touch one of the squires, all the squires will unite against you, and they are extremely good at inciting the people, and if you are not careful, you will make a big mess! ”

Yang Kenan was also a little excited, he stood up and waved his arms and said, "County magistrate, they are different from Cao Shaoxuan!" Cao Ying burned, killed and looted in Stone Town, as long as he came to Kangcheng, no one would survive, so I wanted to call on the people to resist! ”

"But the squires are different, they can at least let the vast majority of the people live, and they live well!"

When Yang Kenan said this, he let out a long breath, looked at Lu Heng and said, "What's more, most of the squires in the cities of the southern country have connections, and the major squires and the local warlords are closely connected. The county magistrate killed so many squires in one go, aren't you afraid that those squires will persuade all the warlords to come and besiege us? ”

"By then, we'll be the enemy of the world!"

Lu Heng closed his eyes in disappointment.

After a long time, he opened his eyes and said, "I know, you go down first." ”

"The squires ......"

"Do as you say."

"Yes, county magistrate."

Yang Ke left with a sigh of relief, and as soon as Lu Heng waited for him to leave, he asked a guard to summon Zhang Yi over.

Hearing Lu Heng's call, Zhang Yi immediately put down everything and hurried over.

"Dashuai, are you looking for me?"

Lu Heng nodded, handed him the stack of accusations on the table, and said, "Have you ever done anything about raiding your house and destroying your door?" ”

Zhang Yi took it and grinned: "No less." ”

"Okay." Lu Heng patted him on the shoulder, "Tonight, we will definitely convene these people to discuss the matter, you take your soldiers and act quietly." Don't let any of these people on the list run away! I'm going to make Cannes a river of blood tonight! ”

"Yes, Dashuai!"
