Su Qi'an stayed in the Zigui County Mansion for a long time this time, and with the assistance of Fang Jingzhi, Master Liu and other censors, it took more than a month to finally convict Zeng Mo and Hancheng of the eight county guards.

The eight people, together with about 20 officials such as Zigui Juncheng, were sentenced to exile and death.

In particular, Zeng Mo and Han Cheng were all executed, and for what they did in the counties, not killing them was not enough to anger the people.

The killing of these eight people also gave other undealt officials some warnings and deterrences.

At least for a long time, other local officials will be much more restrained, and the back nine counties of Dongzhou will not fall into turmoil.

This cleanup caused a great sensation in Dongzhou, but fortunately, the state capital fully supported and cooperated with Su Qi'an's treatment.

Even if there is a lot of commotion in Dongzhou, the handover of officials within Dongzhou is still stable.

After a month's review, after disposing of these officials, Su Qi'an's work was obviously much easier.

At the same time, good things also came one after another, and not long after Zeng Mo, Han Cheng and many other officials were convicted, the convoy that was transported to the front line came with news.

After a long journey, the 100,000 grains and grass raised by Su Qi'an in the rear were successfully sent to the front line.

Looking at this news, Su Qi'an's hanging heart finally relaxed.

Originally, he was worried that something would happen on the road, but now it seems that he has thought too much.

The successful transportation of 100,000 grains and grass to the front line is Su Qi's top priority, and then it depends on how Wu Dingguo arranges the deployment.

I have been in the rear for two months, and the officials in the rear have basically cleaned up, and I have to find a time to go to the front line to have a look, Su Qi'an thought in his heart.

This time I came to Dongzhou, in addition to rectifying the corruption of officials in Dongzhou, in the same way, as a general with troops, the pirates on the front line also had to be dealt with.

After staying in the rear for two months, and if he continued to stay, the two armies of Dongshan and Split Mountain in his hands could not stay.

As soldiers, the battlefield is their destination, and they have always lived in the rear for a long time, like what, if they stay for a long time, they are afraid that they will be the same as these rear state soldiers.

It's been lazy for a long time, it's okay to deal with local bandits and maintain order, but if you really want to go to the front, most of you will have to suffer heavy losses.

To maintain the combat effectiveness of the Dongshan Army, you can't be too comfortable, Su Qi'an's eyes flashed.

After dealing with the case of the officials of the nine counties in the rear, he didn't stay long, and left Zigui County with Xie Cang, Fang Jingzhi and others, preparing to return to the state capital.

Under the instructions of Zhou Zibin and Feng Nan, they stayed in the state city for a few days, and then went straight to the front line in the future.

This is Su Qi'an's plan, but there are unforeseen circumstances, and the plan can't catch up with the changes.

On the way back to the state city of Su Qi'an's convoy, two or three days after the convoy left, bad news suddenly came from the front line.

The front-line soldiers led by Wu Dingguo, who fought with the pirates and pirates, were ambushed, lost two counties, lost more than 10,000 people, and returned defeated.

Now Wu Dingguo ordered the soldiers of all counties to shrink and stabilize the defensive line, which was barely stable, and the two sides fell into a confrontational situation.

When the news came back, Su Qi'an's face was indifferent, this was a big defeat, and it was a very painful defeat.

In the past battles with pirates and pirates, even if Wu Dingguo defeated the pirates and pirates, he suffered at most four or five thousand casualties and lost a county. xь.

And as quickly as possible, he will lead his troops to make a comeback and recover the lost counties, so as to force the pirates back to the island again, and the two sides will form a confrontation.

But this time, not to mention more than 10,000 casualties, they lost the land of the two counties in one go, allowing the pirates to stand on their feet, and the two sides formed a confrontation.

How do you look at this, Wu Dingguo and other front-line soldiers are at a disadvantage, and Su Qi'an still understands the combat effectiveness of front-line soldiers.

Not to mention the combat effectiveness, but it is definitely not those comfortable state soldiers in the rear, and the pirates have been fighting for so many years, the two sides have come and gone, and the combat power should not be weak.

But this inexplicable fiasco, in an ambush, there is definitely something intriguing behind this.

If you want to find out about this, you have to go to the front line as quickly as possible.

Thinking of this, Su Qi'an accelerated the progress of returning to Zhou City, and happened to have a good chat with Zhou Zibin, Feng Nan and other state officials.

If people are unlucky, they will be one after another, and about a day after Su Qi'an sped up his speed back to Zhou City, there was another bad news from the front line.

This bad news is not the defeat of Wu Dingguo's army, nor is it the pirate pirate pirate who has gone further, but about grain and grass.

Su Qi'an, who was transporting grain and grass on the front line, was discovered by pirates and pirates, although Wu Dingguo reacted quickly and sent people to support, and the two sides fought fiercely all night.

In this battle, the pirates and pirates lost a lot, but the granary found was still burned, and almost nothing was left of the 100,000 stone grain and grass.

This succession of bad news made Su Qi'an's face gloomy, his hands clenched the letter in his hand, and his eyes were fixedly fixed.

His breathing was short, his gloomy face was flushed, and after a while, there was an exclamation from the groom who was driving the car, and Su Qi'an didn't catch his breath and fainted directly.

The news quickly spread throughout the convoy, and the convoy personnel were anxious and flustered, and in this panic, several of them looked at each other.

While everyone was surrounding Su Qi'an, he took the opportunity to get into the forest next to him and disappeared.

At the same time, about Su Qi'an's fainting, it reached the ears of Zhou Zibin and Feng Nan in about half a day.

Hearing this news, the happiest people were Wu Xian and Jiang Kun, what Su Qi'an did in the nine counties of Dongzhou directly hurt the vitality of the two families.

If you want to say that you don't hate Su Qi'an, it's fake, but Su Qi'an is a supervision envoy appointed by the imperial court, and it is basically impossible to move him.

The two could only ask for help from Zhou Zibin, Zhou Zibin deserved to be the governor of a state, and he didn't need to go out in person, he only needed to move his fingers and give orders.

The month-long wait was really not in vain, which directly made Su Qi'an angry and fainted. Ь.

This is the state pastor they know, how could they let Su Qi'an act recklessly on their territory.

Although this shot failed to hurt Su Qi'an's vitality, at least it also made Su Qi'an suffer a great loss.

Not to mention anything else, the loss of 100,000 stones of grain and grass is enough for Su Qi'an and Wu Dingguo to have a headache.

At least in a short period of time, it should be impossible for Wu Dingguo to lead the army to counterattack on a large scale.

What's more, nearly 100,000 grains and grass were burned this time, in addition to Wu Dingguo himself, Su Qi'an, who was appointed by the imperial court as a supervisor, was also responsible.

He who enjoys taking over the supreme jurisdiction of Dongzhou, and likewise, he also bears all the great responsibilities in Dongzhou.

After coming to Dongzhou for two months, he didn't lead his army, not to mention fighting a beautiful battle, but directly suffered a fiasco.

Losing 10,000 soldiers, losing two counties, and burning 100,000 grains and grass, this casual thing is enough for Su Qi'an to have a headache.

Wu Xian and Jiang Kun looked excited, and said with a smile while patting Zhou Zibin's ass.

"Hmph, this time it's also the turn of this overseer to taste the bitter fruits of responsibility."

"It's not, it's just that he just passed out, I really hope this guy can pass it in one go, compared to the vitality of my two families, this time it's really cheaper for him."

The two of them were talking, with a little indignation on their faces, and they thought that because Su Qi'an had cleaned up half of the officials in the nine counties of Dongzhou, his two families were greatly damaged, and the two of them were not angry.

The eyes of the two flashed, and they just wanted to say something with their fists, but they were stopped by Zhou Zibin.

"Honshu knows what you two want to say, don't think about taking the opportunity to continue to attack, it's best to kill this overseer."

"If you really do this, this state will unceremoniously take down the two of you and hand them over to the imperial court to bring them to justice."

The two were taken aback, and just wanted to explain, but Zhou Zibin didn't give the two a chance at all, and said unhurriedly.

"You two are also well-known figures in Dongzhou, use your brains to think about it a little, if this inspector dies inexplicably in Dongzhou for just two months, what will the imperial court think?"

"Is it true that the imperial court is a fool and sent an envoy at this time, just to pacify those pirates and pirates?"

Zhou Zibin's words made the faces of the two who wanted to refute change, and the two quickly thought of something and hurriedly said.

"It's the stupidity of his subordinates, and he almost made a big mistake, and I hope that my lord will forgive my sins."

Looking at the attitude of the two of them admitting their mistakes, Zhou Zibin's face was indifferent, nodded slightly, and said softly.

"It's good that you two understand, it's easy to kill this overseer, but if one dies, there will be the next, what we have to do is not to let this person die in Dongzhou, but to take the blame for us and let the court take him down."

"At that time, he was used to pacify the pirates and pirates, and let him take the affairs of Dongzhou, this is the real killing two birds with one stone."

"Thank you for your advice, I understand." Wu Xian and Jiang Kun were full of sincerity.

Then, under Zhou Zibin's signal, he immediately retreated and left.

Watching the two leave, Feng Nan, who was standing next to him without saying a word, said softly.

"My lord, I feel that these two people will spoil our business, or..."

Zhou Zibin shook his head and said, "Although Wu Xian and Jiang Kun are a little stupid, after all, they have been cultivated in Benzhou for so many years, and they are still loyal, and it is still useful to keep them."

"It's Shen Wanfu, although he has made a lot of efforts in the matter of 100,000 grains and grass, but this person still has to be careful, this person is too tactful, and there is nothing worry-free about what he has done for so many years, but this time, it is so smooth, no matter how you look at it."

"This time the front line has to be responsible, and there will always be some people on our side, just to test the waters with him, to see if he is so loyal to Dongzhou."

"Xia Guan understands, Xia Guan will do it, but Xia Guan is worried that if he is pushed out, will Shen Wanfu be disgruntled, turn back on the spot, and push us out?"

"After all, we have a lot of correspondence with him, and it's a bit of a trouble."

Feng Nan's worries are not unreasonable, the matter of grain and grass has already tested him, and this time the accountability has pushed him out, which is somewhat like unloading the mill and killing the donkey.

No matter how good Shen Wanfu is, this kind of thing of using him as a scapegoat, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do, and if it doesn't work, it's better to make a big fuss.
