Eighteen secret guards from the backyard of the principal's mansion were the first to enter Ma Baiyu's private house, and when they saw that there were five corpses at the door and in the courtyard, they immediately formed a battle formation.

After "attacking" the second floor, they saw a figure kneeling on the ground, crying bitterly. A secret guard lit a candle, and everyone couldn't help but feel the same way when they saw Lao Zhang, the double-knife guard, caressing the body of the chief executive, and weeping. After the fall of Lord Huada, his personal guards were killed by Ma Baiyu, and now that Ma Baiyu is dead, his eight personal guards have also been severely damaged.

"The lord is worried about the humiliation of the ministers, and the lord humiliates the ministers to death" is probably this truth.

The front team of the guard battalion surrounded the small building where Ma Baiyu lived. The left team of the guard battalion, a total of 100 people, rushed into the gate, illuminated the entire small building with torches and lanterns, and they examined the dead guards one by one, only to find that the single-knife guard Lao Xiao at the corner of the stairs was still alive. Several guards hurriedly bandaged Lao Xiao to stop the bleeding, Lao Xiao had no limbs and tongue, lost too much blood, and could barely live.

After a cup of tea, Zhou Dongcang rushed over with the squadron of the escort battalion. After asking the captain of the left team downstairs about the situation, he was heartbroken and burst into tears. He trembled and walked up the stairs, knelt beside Ma Baiyu, touched Ma Baiyu's hair, and cried loudly: "My big master, you are so young and promising, why are you jealous of talents." ......”

The owners and deputy directors of the houses who were able to follow in were also sad and sad, crying with sad faces, and a few people even covered their faces and cried.

The double-knife guard touched two handfuls of tears and said, "Master Zhou, I am willing to lead people to hunt down the assassin." ”

Zhou Dongcang mourned: "Quick, go, you all go." Be sure to catch the Assassins, I'm going to kill them alive. ”

The double-sword guard said to the eighteen secret guards beside him: "The big master treats us well, and those who are willing to avenge the big master come with me." ”

Zhou Dongcang saw the double-knife guards and seven or eight secret guards running downstairs, and said in his heart: Now is the time to employ people, you all have to be used by me. He sighed and said secretly: Those who win popularity will get wealth, and those who win people's hearts will win the world. I have to buy people's hearts.

Zhou Dongcang looked at the guards and colleagues around him, cleared his throat, and said loudly, "Where is Jiang Tao?"

The clerical head had been following Zhou Dongcang closely, and he answered: "The right team of the guard battalion has stayed in the main mansion and is searching for the assassins. ”

"Is there a result?"

"Just now, the clerical office copied Tu Wei's report: The deputy director of the workshop and his wife were killed in the bedroom. ”

"Is the owner of the workshop alright?"

"The family of the head of the workshop said that Director Ye did not return to the head of the house last night. ”

Zhou Dongcang sneered, and asked again: "What's the matter with the owner?"

Jiang Hantian, the head of the house, also followed Zhou Dongcang closely, and hurriedly said, "The lower official is here." ”

"Pass on my order, Jiang Tao, the former captain of the right team of the guard battalion, took over as the deputy director of the barracks and concurrently served as the commander of the city defense battalion. Immediately take up his post and conduct a city-wide search overnight to catch the assassin who killed the main master. There must be no mistakes. ”

The head of the house covered his mouth with a smile and said busily: "I'll write the paperwork immediately." "Laughter is an emoji that expresses one's heart.

Zhou Dongcang grabbed the arm of the head of the office and said: "Don't be in a hurry to leave, and then write another document: order Sun Tu, the head of the military room, to be transferred to the command of Yuanyangwei, acting commander, and be fully responsible for the military affairs of the Hutou Mountain battalion. ”

Sun Tuzheng, who was standing in the corner, was worried about Ma Baiyu's death, and when he heard Zhou Dongcang say his name, he couldn't help but perk up, and he heard that Zhou Dongcang asked him to go to Yuanyang Wei as the acting commander, he was both happy and worried. Ma Da is dead, but he has been promoted, and he is still a military position with real power, but I was promoted from the envoy of the inspection department to the commander of the Yuanyangwei Command Department, and I was promoted to four levels in a row, with few qualifications, and it is estimated that it is difficult to be convinced.

"Jiang Tao, the deputy director of the barracks, is responsible for acting as the head of the barracks. Li Liang, the former commander of the Yuanyang Wei Thousand Households and the former commander of the city defense battalion, was transferred to the Yuanyang Wei Command Division, awarded the post of deputy commander, and assisted Sun Tu in presiding over the duties of the Yuanyang Wei Command Division. Ling Yuanyang Weizuo Qianhu official Linghu is not sick and concurrently serves as the head of the Hutou Mountain Battalion recruits. ”

Sun Tuxin said: With Li Liang's assistance, I will be able to control the overall situation. Li Liang is an upright person, and he will not compete with me for the leadership of the army. Linghu Wuxian is also an old acquaintance of mine, and it is exactly what I want to ask him to train new soldiers. Last time, Linghu Wuxian was in charge of 8,000 officers and soldiers, but he was "beaten" by two big birds and defeated, and he was ashamed to see people and couldn't get out.

"Order the commander of the guard battalion, Hong Xian, to return to the main office as soon as possible, and take charge of the fifth team of the guard battalion, and order the deputy commander of the guard battalion, Huang Xinxing, to reorganize the secret guard. ”

The head of the house listened and took notes, and secretly called it wonderful.

The clerk said: "The deputy director of the workshop died a miserable death. ”

Zhou Dongcang was stunned for a moment, snickered, and said, "Tu Wei, the copyist of the clerical room, took over the position of deputy director of the workshop. He paused for a moment, and then said: "The deputy director of the original workshop posthumously recognized the martyrs and allocated a pension of five hundred taels of silver." ”

For leaders, a half-official position is a matter of one sentence. All kinds of guarantees are also a matter of one sentence. There is no benefit to being a leader, so why should you be?

"What's the matter with the cell owner?"

The clerk said: "Stick to the cell, I didn't come." ”

"Go tell the head of the cell and send the relatives of Ping, Fang, and Du home. "After the Shiyang Town Market Inspection Department was attacked, the close relatives of the Ping family, the Fang family, and the Du family were all taken to the Yuanyang City prison. ”

The head of the house is in a good mood, but he can't show it. Looking at Zhou Dongcang's posture, he seems to regard himself as the main person in charge of Yuanyang City. Director Zhou, I hope you don't break your promise, you will be the chief officer, and I will take over as the director of Yuanyang City, and I will get my wish. I'll follow you with all my heart from now on.

Some officials are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and they like the "earthquake" of officialdom the most, so as to make it easier to get rid of the fire.

Zhou Dongcang saw that the surroundings were extremely quiet, and couldn't help but sigh: I am the number one here today, they must all listen to me, and they must all take me as the center. I can give them the official job they want, or I can make them lose the job they need to live. I've been holding back for 30 years, and I've finally waited until today. I've taken over Yuanyang City, but there are too many leaders above to take out my people, too many. I have to quickly grasp everything in Yuanyang City. I am getting old, and I have to realize my governance philosophy within a year or two.

Zhou Dongcang was a little impatient, he shouted: "Where is the owner of the household, the grain room, and the silver house?"

The clerk said in Zhou Dongcang's ear: "Didn't come." The people around him started talking.

Zhou Dongcang ignored the words of others, he pondered for a while, and said, "Now inform them that after dawn, you must go to the principal's mansion to report to me." ”

The clerk owner said "yes", turned around and relayed Zhou Dongcang's arrangement to Tu Wei behind him.

Zhou Dongcang was old and a little tired, yawned, and said, "Where is Liang Xuezheng?"

Liang Xuezheng, who was in charge of Yuanyang Academy, hurriedly responded "here", he pushed away the three circles of people in front of him, and said loudly: "The lower official is here." Xiaguan Liang is here. ”

Zhou Dongcang looked at Liang Xuezheng, who had finally squeezed over, and said: "From today on, Yuanyang Academy will begin to recruit students for free, and all children who have reached the age of fifteen, whether they are rich or poor, or have disabilities, whether they are in the city market or in the countryside, can enter Yuanyang Academy to study. ”

Liang Xuezheng's face changed greatly, and his excited face suddenly turned into a bitter gourd face, and he said in his heart: I thought I was going to be promoted, but I was thrown over by Director Zhou with a big problem. "This ...... This ......" he was speechless.

"What's the matter? Liang Xuezheng can't understand what I'm saying?"

The head of the clerical room had a very good relationship with Liang Xuezheng, and he was busy saying: "Director Zhou, it's not that Liang Xuezheng can't understand what you say, but that Yuanyang Academy wants to ensure that the best children get the best learning environment." There are not many disciples, but refinement. Besides, the money allocated by Yuanyang College is not enough to support too many students. ”

Liang Xuezheng came to his senses and hurriedly answered: "Yes, yes." There is no need for our presiding government to train so many disciples. Too many disciples will crowd out the glory and status of our own children. ”

Zhou Dongcang listened calmly and did not interrupt them.
