Su Qi'an and the three stayed in Chu Xiong's hermitage for about an hour or so, and then got up and retired.

"The elder said today, Qi An has been taught, please rest assured, since Qi An dares to come to Dongzhou, he has made all the consequences, the old man is here to watch, and the affairs in Dongzhou will definitely have results."

Chu Xiong touched his gray beard and nodded slightly, "Well, go ahead, since you have decided, let's do it boldly, it's time for Dongzhou to move your muscles."

Su Qi'an wore a hat on his head, and the descendants of Xie Cang and Tong Zhan turned around and left.

After knowing that everything was fine with Chu Xiong and understanding his intentions, Xie Cang, who was the righteous son, did not stay.

Chu Xiong will not let him stay, he is just Zhishi, and he is not old enough to move, so he doesn't need Xie Cang to stay and take care of him.

Like Xie Cang's age, it is the time for the young generation of generals who have made contributions and needed Da Liang, if they are like this, how much can they do if they stay in a secluded place.

This time he came to Dongzhou, Su Qi'an still needed Xie Cang's help, and following Su Qi'an's side would only be good for Xie Cang.

Xie Cang also thought so in his heart, Chu Xiong is all right, there will be time to meet in the future, and it is the right way to solve the matter of Dongzhou with Su Qi'an and pacify the war in Dongzhou.

The two sides exchanged words, Chu Xiong stood on the stone platform on the mountainside, looked at the backs of Su Qi'an and the three of them gradually moving away, and murmured softly.

"Qi An, Cang'er, this Dongzhou will be handed over to you, I hope you will not live up to Your Majesty's trust."

……

Su Qi'an and the three of them visited, and then left, without alarming anyone, as if they had never appeared, and this small mountain village was also like it didn't exist.

All the eyes of the outside world have been following Su Yong as Su Qi'an.

As time went on, Su Yong, who had been playing, also came to the last stop of the eight counties, Zigui County in Hancheng.

As before, Su Yong traveled around in the counties of Zigui County, and during the period, he bought a batch of slaves because of a whim, and the local officials were not surprised by Su Yong's move.

But all the rich and powerful, more or less have some domestic slaves in the mansion, these are normal things, such a large inspector, if there is no hobby of buying and selling slaves, it is strange.

After a few days of playing in Zigui County, they finally returned to Zigui County, and accompanied by a group of officials, Su Yong and others returned to the mansion provided.

They entered with them the slaves they had bought on the road, and as a large number of retinues moved in, the slaves began to work on their own.

Su Yong glanced at it, ordered a few house slaves at random, and entered his room with Fang Jingzhi and Master Liu.

For this move, the other servants in the mansion showed envy in their eyes, and although they were still domestic slaves, their lives would definitely be several grades better in the future.

As several people entered the room, the door closed, and Su Yong, Fang Jingzhi, and Master Liu hurriedly clasped their fists and saluted one of the house slaves.

"Let Mr. be wronged, if there is anything that is not good, I hope Mr. will punish him."

The house slave standing in the middle smiled and waved his hand, and then tore off the disguise from his face.

Like this kind of disguise, it is not very clever, and the masters who have been walking in the rivers and lakes all the year round will almost all of them, and they will see through it after a few glances, but it is still very easy to deceive these uninformed officials.

I have to admire the prudence of Su Qi'an and the others, and they would even think of joining Su Yong as a disguised slave.

Although they had known about this plan for a long time, they really ran into it, which still startled Su Yong, Fang Jingzhi, and Master Liu.

Fortunately, the convergence of the two sides was smooth enough, and no one found out, even if it was suspected by some well-intentioned people, it was not a big deal.

In the mansion of a big man, it is normal for a few house slaves to disappear inexplicably, who would dare to object because of the lack of a few house slaves? This is not to find yourself unhappy, to be full.

After Su Qi'an briefly sorted out his appearance, he sat on the chair above and asked Su Yong with a smile.

"Hehe, Su Yong, this time

Can you have a good time?"

Su Yong, who had recovered his appearance, smiled wryly and hurriedly said, "Sir, don't make fun of me, the local officials of these eight counties are really not things, and the so-called happiness is completely based on the pain of the people at the bottom."

"But I didn't see that these accompanying officials did not care about the life or death of the people at the bottom, whether they were domestic slaves, tenants, long-term workers, or commoners, as long as they provoked them, they would be severely beaten, and in their words, according to the law, they would be beheaded if they collided with the officials."

"I can be regarded as understanding the two sentences that Mr. did at the beginning, Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are poems about frozen bones on the road, if it weren't for Lord Fang and Master Liu, they continued to solve the siege, I was really afraid that my temper couldn't help it, and I would have to beat and scold these dogs, it's not a thing, it's no different from a beast."

Su Yong's scolding can also be understood by Su Qi'an, which is also one of the purposes of this trip to let Su Yong play him, in order to temper his temper.

Something like this will only be more, not less, and if you can't even hold back your temper, you will definitely make a big mistake in the future.

Su Qi'an comforted Su Yong for a few words, his eyes fell on Fang Jingzhi, and asked.

"County Commander Fang, Master Liu, can the tasks assigned to you be completed during this period of inspection?"

The two hurriedly clasped their fists and said, "Mr. Hui, after more than 20 days of play, the contradictions between the low-level people and the local families and Confucians in the counties along the way in the eight local counties have been basically sorted out, and now we are waiting for Mr. 's next action."

"Okay, I've had enough fun, I've got some eye medicine for them, let's go."

The closed door didn't take long to open, and Su Qi'an, who had recovered his identity, strode towards the outside of the mansion, followed by a group of people waiting.

Looking at the supervision envoys who appeared, the house slaves and servants who were working separately knelt down and bowed their heads.

Seeing Su Qi'an gradually drifting away, after a while, in everyone's ears, hurried footsteps sounded.

The servants looked at it slightly, there were at least forty or fifty soldiers, fully armed, following behind Su Qi'an, looking at their appearance, there should be a big action.

Su Qi'an walked out of the mansion and got into his carriage, followed by a large number of soldiers on both sides, except for half of these soldiers who were directly subordinate to the team, the rest were state soldiers from Zigui County.

The carriage drove slowly, and the direction was the location of the gate of the county town.

Su Qi'an's travel, every move was concerned by everyone, and no one needed to greet him, and all the officials in the county town immediately dispatched.

Their eyes flickered, and no one knew what the Overseer was trying to do.

Even if the eyeliner was placed in the mansion, he didn't understand Su Qi'an's intentions, and only knew that he stayed in his room with a few henchmen for a while.

Then he took the people, without saying a word, and went straight to the gate of the county town, if he wanted to say goodbye, it was completely unnecessary, and this time, only half of the people were dispatched, and the rest of the people stayed in the mansion.

It seems that they are not saying goodbye at all, they have long known that this inspector has a changeable mind and different whereabouts, and today is considered to be an insight.

In any case, they want to see what this inspector is doing with such fanfare today.

When a group of officials arrived at the city gate, Su Qi'an's men and horses temporarily took over the order of the county gate.

There were a lot of onlookers, after all, a big man like the Inspector, even if he just glanced at it, felt that it was worth it.

Moreover, during this period of time, the inspector made a lot of noise in the eight local counties, and he was accompanied by local officials throughout the whole process.

As Su Qi'an got out of the car, in an instant, everyone's eyes fell on him.

Su Qi'an looked around, did not feel the slightest pressure, and clasped his fists at everyone present.

The voice said loudly, "This envoy Su Qi'an came to visit Dongzhou on the orders of the imperial court, as for the purpose of the visit, I think you all know better, it is to rectify the corrupt officials in Dongzhou and calm the war in Dongzhou."

"This envoy assures you that these will be done

Those who take bribes and pervert the law will be dealt with in a fair manner, and they will not be merciful."

Su Qi'an's blunt words, the eyes of the people present flashed, and their faces showed a bit of playfulness, if you look carefully, you will find that there is a faint disdain hidden in the depths of your eyes.

Not only them, but even the local officials present.

What is the difference between Su Qi'an's words and their previous high-sounding words, they are just official words to appease people's hearts.

And in the past 20 days of travel in the eight counties, where is there a little bit from the perspective of the people at the bottom, what else is there besides eating, drinking and having fun all day long?

At this time, saying such a scene inevitably made the local people scoff, but because of their identity and the presence of local officials, they could not confide in their hearts.

Compared with the disdain of the people, the local officials' eyes flashed, they didn't believe that this Su Qi'an engaged in such a big battle, just to tell such a scene.

Sure enough, after some words, Su Qi'an's tone froze, and he continued.

"Through traveling to the eight counties, let the envoy see the difficulties of the people, and here today, the envoy made a promise, if anyone can carry this one-zhang long log to my mansion on foot, he will be rewarded with food and a stone."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of everyone present instantly changed, and they looked at Su Qi'an with dull eyes.

talked about Su Qi'an before, disdainful and disdainful, but the second half of his sentence really scared everyone.

As long as he moved a log he had prepared from here to his mansion, he could get a stone of food, which was not a dream.

For the people at the bottom in Dongzhou, the most precious thing is not money and silver, but food.

The geographical location of Dongzhou, which fights every year, needs a huge amount of grain and grass every year, which determines that grain is more expensive than money and silver.

If there is a famine year and the harvest is not good, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy food.

And now, the overseer has said that he will reward a stone of grain, what is the difference between this and pie in the sky?
