"It makes sense." The High Priest nodded.

"This group of bandits has received so much favor from us, and they should show their sincerity, and Jiaozhou will not support waste people." Qingcheng County Shou's eyes were cold, and he said in a low voice.

The high priest's eyes flashed, and he fought with this Su Qi'an a few times, making them feel that this person was a rather tricky person.

I thought that they were manipulating behind the scenes, mixing some people in, causing some riots, and then sitting back to reap the benefits of the fisherman, but they did underestimate Su Qi'an.

This surnamed Su is quite good at controlling people's hearts internally.

He can lead the army out of the city to suppress bandits without any scruples, and he is not afraid of hidden people doing things in the city.

It is out of trust in the manpower of Tucheng officials, and there is also a set of management for the people of Tucheng.

Their kind of conspiracy may be useful against other people, but after fighting Su Qi'an, some of them can't be put on the table.

Since the dark ones are useless, they can only come to the hard ones.

They served as high priests, and they kept watch over the county for many years, but they did not eat dry food.

Without the support of officials like them and local forces, it would have been impossible for Jiaozhou bandits to develop to the present.

This time, their goal is very clear, they must eradicate Su Qi'an, and after seeing Su Qi'an's strength, if they let it develop.

It is very likely that when the time comes, Su Qi'an will directly counter them, and at that time, it will be over.

Taking advantage of the small development of power, timely strangulation in the cradle is the most important thing.

As for the bandits who harass the surrounding area of the county from time to time, the Qingcheng county guard is not easy to bully.

He immediately ordered that if there were bandits attacking the county, they would kill one by one.

Similarly, the high priest also issued the same order as the Qingcheng county guard.

Usually, you can turn a blind eye and indulge a little, but if you make too much trouble, don't blame them for turning their faces and being ruthless.

As soon as the order was given, it quickly worked.

After directly killing a group of fleeing bandits who did not know whether they were alive or dead, the remaining bandits immediately quieted down.

Obediently staying on the outskirts of the city, not as unscrupulous as before.

For a while, this group of bandits, like a gas bag, was caught in the middle, but it was quite uncomfortable.

On the other hand, on Su Qi'an's side, this crackdown on bandits lasted for seven days, not only completely eliminating the bandits in Tucheng County.

Even the bandits in the surrounding counties have also been eradicated.

In seven days, Su Qi'an's name spread throughout the bandit circle.

The current bandits, not to mention hearing Su Qi'an's name, are frightened, but they will flee as soon as possible.

After seven days of suppressing the bandits, Su Qi'an decided to suspend the operation and return to Tucheng County.

The goal of this crackdown on bandits has already been achieved, and it is of little significance to continue to suppress bandits.

On the one hand, the rations of the three regiments were about to run out, and on the other hand, if they continued, they left Qingcheng County.

The battle line has been stretched for a long time, without the support of the local county guard, relying on Su Qi'an's lone army alone, after a long time, it will be weak.

Therefore, the withdrawal of troops and the suspension of operations are the best policy.

With the withdrawal of the three regiments one after another, this anti-bandit operation can be regarded as coming to an end.

The bandits who heard the rumor of the wind also let go of their hearts that had been hanging for many days.

They were afraid that Su Qi'an would be like a madman, suppressing bandits endlessly, but fortunately, this Hou Ye finally withdrew, and they could at least take a breather.

At this time in the city of Qi'an, Wu Yongzheng led everyone to greet the three regiments returning from Su Qi'an at the city gate.

After a while, at the end of his sight, he saw the three regiments of troops returning, and Wu Yong stepped forward quickly.

This time to suppress the bandits, although the soldiers of the third regiment looked a little tired, their eyes were flashing with excitement.

Although there were casualties this time, it was tempered, and in the long run, it was a good thing.

The three regiments that returned, under Su Qi'an's arrangement, went down in batches one after another to start resting.

Looking at Su Qi'an, who had nothing to do, Wu fell to the ground with a hanging heart.

The lord of a city personally led the team, how not to let everyone worry, fortunately, Su Qi'an was fine.

Su Qi'an looked at Wu Yong, and the first thing he said was to ask the group of displaced prisoners who were being controlled.

Su Qi'an is not stupid, there must be some people who are secretly doing things among these people.

Before leading the army to suppress the bandits, he instructed Wu Yong to be sure to screen everyone's identity before he returned.

Wu Yong hurriedly said, "Sir, don't worry, with the cooperation of the Second Regiment, Xia Guan and his subordinate officials have basically arrested those who mixed in the crowd and took the opportunity to make trouble."

"As for the people who are hiding deeply, they can't escape, and the suspects have been strictly controlled, and if there is any abnormality, they will be taken down immediately."

Wu Yong's report, Su Qi'an was still quite satisfied, he nodded, and motioned to take him to see this group of homeless prisoners who came to Tucheng County.

The number of displaced prisoners in this group is relatively large, at least about 500.

But as soon as he entered Qi'an City, he was controlled by Song Biao's second regiment.

According to their age and gender, the crimes committed were temporarily placed on four venues.

On the periphery of each field, at least one company of soldiers is in charge.

Everyone's every move is under surveillance.

Both displaced people and prisoners are treated equally, and they will not be taken care of because of the severity of the crime they have committed.

Be cautious, there's nothing wrong with that.

Under the leadership of Wu Yong and Song Biao, Su Qi'an traveled all over the four venues of the detention.

This group of people is unkempt and dirty.

Su Qi'an explained to the two of them, what crimes they committed before, at least they had to have clean clothes.

For these people, Su Qi'an has his plans, treat these people, inspect and screen them for a month, and those who meet the standards, Su Qi'an will keep them.

Those who do not meet the standards will set aside a piece of land and provide them with a place, but their every move will be monitored.

These more than 500 people, if they are used reasonably, can still give him some help.

Even if they are prisoners, as long as they have the heart to repent and come to Tucheng County, Su Qi'an will give them a chance to mend their ways.

As for whether the Qingcheng County Warden would take the opportunity to use this matter to target Su Qi'an for not having the right to pardon their crimes, Su Qi'an was not worried.

If the Qingcheng County Guard is brave, he can go to complain, and they sent the person.

Tucheng is his territory, and if he wants to get Su Qi'an with this matter, he will have to make trouble a long time ago.

Tucheng County, he is the absolute controller, to put it mildly, Su Qi'an has the power of life and death for everyone in the county.

This is Jiaozhou, which has a high degree of autonomy, and becoming the lord of a city, even the smallest controller, has absolute rights.

Su Qi was reassured, wishing they could send more homeless prisoners over, he was short of manpower.

While Su Qi'an and the others were inspecting, suddenly, a rickety figure rushed over without warning.

This scene startled Wu Yong and Song Biao.

"Mr. Protection, quick!"

All of a sudden, a large number of soldiers directly surrounded Su Qi'an.

The tip of the knife is external, and it can respond to emergencies at any time.

At the same time, a group of soldiers rushed towards the rickety figure, trying to take it down.

But the next scene made everyone stunned.

This person did not rush towards Su Qi'an, his body was very flexible and skillfully evaded the capture of the soldiers.

ran directly in front of Su Qi'an, more precisely, towards a two-wheeled vehicle pushed by a civilian.

With a plop, he knelt directly on the ground, and his rough palm stroked the two-wheeled wooden cart.

His eyes lit up, and his mouth was full of words.

"Wonderful, wonderful, to transform a unicycle into a two-wheeled vehicle, replacing one big wheel with two small wheels."

"Not only is it stable, but it's also quite flexible, which I didn't expect, it's amazing."

Taking advantage of this moment, the soldiers who rushed into the air rushed up and took this person away

Take it down.

Even if he was taken down, the man's face showed excitement, and he didn't care about his current state at all, and laughed out loud.

At this time, Su Qi'an, who saw some famous people, waved his hand and motioned to the soldiers to let this person go.

He stepped forward, stopping less than half a foot away from the man, and he looked at the man.

This man was not very old, about fifty years old, and his rough hands showed that he was either a farmer or a craftsman.

Although he was dressed sloppily, his face showed a strong look of excitement, and he didn't care about his image at all.

Without the restraint of soldiers, this person stepped forward again, up and down his hands, observed the two-wheeled wooden cart in front of him, and directly regarded Su Qi'an and them as air.

Seeing this, Su Qi'an didn't bother, but gave an order, and soon a homeless person who knew this person stepped forward and informed Su Qi'an of the news of this person.

This person's surname is Lei, as for what it is called, it is not clear, he is an old craftsman, but he has a big background, it is said that he once worked in the Ministry of Industry in Kyoto, and participated in the construction of the Imperial City of Kyoto.

From the construction of the imperial city to the transformation and invention of industrial and agricultural tools, he is handy, and he is a senior craftsman of the Ministry of Industry.

It's just that because of his obsession with building, he doesn't know anything about human affairs, and one day, he offended the Kyoto magnates in some things, and was directly deprived of his identity, demoted to an exile, and exiled to Jiaozhou, and everyone usually called him the head of the thunder craftsman

Even if he was exiled, the head of the thunder craftsman was obsessed with studying the transformation of various agricultural tools.

It's not the first time this has happened like today, and there was such a thing in Qingcheng County.

He was whipped later, but he still did not change his life, and finally followed the homeless people and exiled them to Tucheng County.

Listening to the introduction, Su Qi'an's eyes flashed with light, this is really a nowhere to find a place to step through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it.

He has been thinking about the industry he is looking for, but he didn't expect that he would be sent to him by the Qingcheng County Guard and the High Priest.

How does this not make Su Qi'an happy.

Su Qi'an immediately ordered that this person be immediately taken to the R&D Department of Tucheng County, where he could eat and drink well, and treat talents with respect.

Wu Yong and Song Biao glanced at each other, and naturally saw Su Qi'an's intentions, so without saying a word, they directly sent someone to protect the head of the thunder craftsman and leave here with him.

Seeing the head of the thunder craftsman leaving, Su Qi'an seemed to think of something, and did not leave, but stood in front of the homeless prisoner and said loudly.

"When you come to Tucheng County, if you all have the same amazing skills as the head of the thunder craftsman, Ben Hou can ensure that you will have no worries about food and clothing in the future, and even exempt you from the responsibility of your crimes."

"Benhou needs talents, even if you are not talents, as long as you want to learn and are willing to contribute to the construction of Tucheng County, Benhou also guarantees that your lives are worry-free and you can live in Tucheng County safely."

Su Qi'an's words shocked these homeless prisoners a lot.

Before they came, they had already heard that this Tucheng Marquis had done something extraordinary.

Now that I see it, it's true.

Just when everyone's eyes flashed and their thoughts were different, suddenly, among the homeless prisoners, a voice of disbelief sounded, hesitatingly.

"You... Are you Mr. Su?"
