The transfer and appointment of officials in Yuezhou is not as simple as imagined, and the family background behind them is deep, and their power is enough to affect the fate of local officials.

There will be a lot of problems behind this, and if it is not handled well, it is likely to make Yuezhou shake.

But after the appointment was issued, the transfer of officials of all sizes in Yuezhou was very smooth and calm.

It seems to be a matter of course, and there is no commotion during the period, as if it is a natural thing.

Some people who are thoughtful and know the inside story have some speculations in their hearts.

The transfer of officials in Yuezhou this time, the change of blood, in private, should have reached a consensus a long time ago.

Now Yuezhou can have this ability, it is estimated that only Su Kang, the king of Yue, is the people of the whole state, and they are very dissatisfied with this war.

And that Dongshan Marquis, as soon as he came, hinted that he wanted to exchange blood for the officials of Yuezhou.

It's just that no one took this Dongshan Marquis in their eyes at the beginning, and the war was not over, and the exchange of officials for blood was tantamount to making Yuezhou, which was already in turmoil, even more chaotic.

So, the matter was put on hold for the time being.

In the subsequent development of the war, everyone knew that Dongshan Hou served as the commander-in-chief of the Yuezhou War, and finally conquered Black Wind Island and turned the tide of the war in one fell swoop, so that Su Kang and Xie Cang had no scruples to exterminate the invading pirates, and the Yuezhou War was successfully pacified.

After this war, Su Qi'an, Xie Cang, and even Su Kang had a high reputation among the people of Yuezhou.

Therefore, whether it is to repay Su Qi'an's favor, or the king of Yue himself wants to purge the officialdom of Yuezhou, it just so happens that he will take advantage of the current prestige and public opinion to exchange the Yuezhou officials for blood.

Although Yuezhou is maintained by many local families and has great weight, it is under the surging public opinion.

These families had to choose to compromise and reach an agreement with Su Kang.

As for what kind of agreement the two sides reached behind this, this is not something they can know.

On the contrary, the change of blood of Yuezhou officials is still good for these people, at least they will not be as unscrupulous as their previous term to oppress the people.

In this blood exchange, the strength of the local family was obviously suppressed, and the strength shrank.

In Su Qi'an's view, in today's Yuezhou, the local family and Su Kang are the real equals, and neither can gain the upper hand over the other and fall into a stalemate.

This stalemate can be regarded as a kind of stability for Yuezhou after the war, and after the change of blood of Yuezhou officials, the next arrangement is about the deployment of troops in various counties of Yuezhou.

For Su Qi'an, Su Qi'an doesn't pay attention to this, this is an internal affair in Yuezhou, and it has nothing to do with him.

But as long as Su Qi'an understands it, he can probably guess that behind these major events that caused a sensation in Yuezhou is the game between Su Kang and the local family.

The final result can also be seen, both sides took a step back, and retained Xiang Yan to still be able to command the Yuezhou military, but at the cost of half of the previous reduction, in exchange for the exchange of Yuezhou officials.

Perhaps, this is the agreement reached between the two sides.

It's just that these have little to do with Su Qi'an, and now he has stepped down as the commander-in-chief of the Yuezhou War.

After all, after being invited to Yuezhou, Su Qi'an had one purpose, to help Su Kang pacify the war in Yuezhou, in order to pacify the pirates as quickly as possible and facilitate command, Su Qi'an would be very tough and asked to serve as the commander-in-chief of the war.

Now that the war in Yuezhou has calmed down, he is continuing to serve, which is not interesting.

And if you don't step down at this time, if you continue to keep it, you may be targeted by some people.

After all, Yuezhou is the fiefdom of the local family and Su Kang, and it is their internal contradiction that fights back and forth.

And Su Qi'an is just an outsider, if he wants to take advantage of the internal fighting and have any idea about Yuezhou, Su Qi'an is sure that he can't get out of Yuezhou.

The taking of power in a Jiaozhou gave Su Qi'an a little headache, and if he added a Yuezhou, it would only bring trouble to Su Qi'an.

Su Qi'an is not so ambitious now, he knows that he has to eat bite by bite, and the road has to be walked step by step, if he is carried away by the desire in front of him, he will not know how to die later.

will

After the commander-in-chief of the war was handed over, Su Qi'an lived a leisurely life, and as for the matter of Yuezhou, it was left to Su Kang and them to have a headache.

When Su Qi'an returned to Shuixiang City, he basically stayed in his mansion, and the affairs in the city were under the jurisdiction of the newly appointed county magistrate.

This new county order is very interesting, and basically never bothered Su Qi'an, Su Qi'an just sent his guards to help this new county order, train the officials, and Su Qi'an didn't care about the rest.

Su Qi'an, who had just come to Shuixiang City, originally intended to run Shuixiang City, but after seeing the political situation in Yuezhou, this thought was reined.

Whether it is a local family or Su Kang, they are not fools, how can their own territory be touched by others?

No matter how many spies Su Qi'an left behind in Shuixiang City, or how good the business is, once Su Qi'an leaves, everything Su Qi'an left in Shuixiang City will definitely be eradicated.

It is guaranteed that there is no trace left by Su Qi'an, since this is the case, Su Qi'an will naturally not make trouble for himself.

Since he can't run it, but he has encountered some good seedlings, Su Qi'an plans to take them with him.

Senior craftsmen like Xiao Si who make ships are like treasures to Su Qi'an.

At present, Su Qi'an does not have a naval fleet in his hands, and at present, he does not need it.

But who can predict how it will change in the future, and now we have collected some talents for the future unpreparedness.

Not only these shipbuilders, Su Qi'an found some sailors in the prison of Shuixiang City.

These sailors made mistakes in the previous battles and missed the fighters, so they were imprisoned.

Not only that, these sailors are unruly and disobedient to discipline, and even if they are released, they will not be welcomed.

For these ruffians, Su Qi'an has a way to deal with them, and the prisoners he received in Kyoto before, Er Meng and Song Biao, are more rebellious than the other.

But under Su Yong's two or three feet, the governed obedience was obedient.

Now to get them out, there is time, discipline them well, Su Qi'an took away these ruffians, which can be regarded as a great favor for the new county order.

The crimes committed by these soldiers and ruffians were not serious, and they could not reach the point of beheading, that is, they were arranged to serve in the water town and were imprisoned in the Yamen prison at the end of the day's conscription.

These soldiers are not good people, even if they stay in prison, they are not safe, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are scoundrels.

Hit it, but don't hit it too hard, if you are killed, you will be punished from above, and if you hit it lightly, it will only make these soldiers more arrogant.

It can be said that these guys in the prison gave the new county order a headache, but he didn't expect Su Qi'an to help him solve the pain at this time, how not to make the new county order grateful.

Say whatever you say, you have to set up a banquet and invite Su Qi'an.

Su Qi'an couldn't shirk it, so he had to go to the banquet, at the banquet, the two sides ate and drank very well, and at this moment, Su Qi'an's guard company commander ran over and whispered something in his ear.

Su Qi'an was stunned, and then bowed his hand to the county order, and left under the pretext of something, the county order was very knowledgeable, and he didn't keep it much, and gave a few words of advice, and sent Su Qi'an out of the county office.

Su Qi'an, who left the county office, did not stop, and walked towards the north of the county without stopping.

Behind him, in addition to the commander of the guard company, there are Tong Zhan, Wang Yan and other directly subordinate teams.

Their faces were solemn, and they walked all the way to the north of the city, to be precise, a ruined temple in the north of the city that had been abandoned for many years.

This time, the news brought by the commander of the guard company was very important, and it was about the mysterious assassin who assassinated Su Qi'an before.

Su Qi'an was not careless about the mysterious assassin, according to his calculations, it was impossible for that assassin to leave Shuixiang City soon if he was injured.

Moreover, there was no trace of that person in the list of those days out of the city, that is, it is very likely that the person was still hiding in Water Town City.

Therefore, before Su Qi'an set off, in the city, a platoon of guards was left, and under the leadership of the guard company commander, they secretly explored Shuixiang City, and they were bound to catch the traces of this person.

After unremitting investigation, the commander of the guard company finally determined the location of the assassin's activities, which was the northern ruins of the city

Abandoned ruined temple.

Su Qi'an, who learned the news, rushed towards the broken temple as fast as he could, and he listened to the report of the guard company commander along the way.

The current ruined temple is surrounded by guards, Xie Cang has already rushed over in advance, and is now waiting for Su Qi'an to converge.

After walking about a stick of incense, Su Qi'an finally arrived at the broken temple in the north of the city.

Although it was night, outside the ruined temple, the soldiers of the guards, armed with torches, blocked the water surrounding the ruined temple.

Seeing Su Qi'an's arrival, all the soldiers saluted, Su Qi'an nodded, and then stepped into the broken temple.

Inside the temple was a dilapidated courtyard, Xie Cang stood in the small courtyard, and beside him, there was also a large group of soldiers.

Xie Cang turned his back to Su Qi'an, looking at the dilapidated house in front of him, and there was a faint movement in the house.

As if sensing Su Qi'an's arrival, Xie Cang turned around, walked head-on, and said.

"Brother Su, our hard work has not been in vain, and we have finally found the trace of this person."

Su Qi'an nodded, looking at the broken temple in front of him.

I have to say that this assassin is still very discerning and chose this place.

Who would have thought that someone would hide in such a place, this ruined temple, Su Qi'an probably knew.

It has been abandoned for many years, because the temple is in danger of collapsing at any time, and even beggars will not spend the night here.

And all around, it is deserted, basically uninhabited, it is a forgotten place, and it is difficult for anyone to think of it for a while.

And according to Xie Cang, there is an organ in this abandoned ruined temple, and it seems that there is a dark room, and he has already sent someone into the temple to crack the mechanism.

Hearing this, Su Qi'an was a little surprised, he was not surprised that the assassin chose this position, but in the ruined temple, there would be a dark room.

It seems that the dark room has existed for a long time, and in a county town, it is an abandoned and dilapidated temple, and a dark room is built.

What was the purpose of this assassin? More precisely, is there a bigger reason behind this assassin.

It's just that, I don't know, I just hope that when the dark room opens, maybe I can solve it.
