Appoint the prefect, and whoever dares to come will give it to whomever he wants.

At this time, the prefect's arrest was discussed.

There was a lot of talk, but no one dared to stand up.

Bai Song glanced at everyone, knowing that among these fast catchers, he was afraid that there were rare and competent people, and asked: "What other officials are in the various departments of Yangzhou City?" Mobilize it for me right now. ”

After a period of discussion just now, the rest of the catchers have already understood the origin and behavior of this arrogant adult, and no one dares to despise it in the slightest, and more is afraid.

The catcher quickly responded, and everyone dispersed to spread the word.

"These people, I'm afraid few of them will come back, right?" Kumi asked tentatively.

"Just let them go, if they choose the wrong team this time, there will be no more hesitation when they meet next time."

Sure enough, many people fled under the banner of spreading the word.

Bai Song waited in the prefect's mansion for an hour, and returned less than a third of the catch.

Fortunately, the news of the appointment of a new prefect has reached the ears of the yamen of the ministries.

If no one dares to come over and take over Yangzhou, Bai Song is ready to contact the military directly and ask the military to send people.

Bai Song's prestige in the military is far higher than that in the local yamen, and in the entire Tang Dynasty, half of the army is brought out by Li Jing, and Bai Song is Li Jing's successor, this relationship has never been used, no matter who the chief general of the Yangzhou garrison is, it is enough to choose one who is close to Li Jing to take over.

Bai Song thought so, and there was a catcher who took the initiative to send water.

"Sir, take a sip of water."

Bai Song took the water and found that there was no problem, so he asked, "What's your name?" ”

"Adult, the villain's name is Dog Three."

"Dog Three ......"

"My family used to be poor and didn't have a proper name."

"A lot of people are gone, why did you come back?"

"If you go back to the adult, because the villain thinks the adult is reliable."

"How?"

"In fact, many people in our yamen are not used to the Yangzhou Gang, but there are too many people in the Yangzhou Gang, and the power is too great, and we have no way to join them. I also want to be a good errand and do things for the people. ”

Bai Song glanced at him and asked, "Are you interested in being a prefect?" ”

"This ......" Dog San was stunned, obviously not expecting such a thing, "My lord, I don't know anything." ”

"It doesn't matter, you can learn, your eyesight is good."

The dwarf is taller inside, and this dog is the third dog who is looking at Bai Song in the right eye.

Gou San was also a little excited, after all, such a big official as the prefect had never dreamed of it in the past.

"Since adults can trust villains, villains can learn." The dog threw his hand three times, and then said, "But...... But can an adult agree to a small condition? ”

"On what terms?"

"Can you let go of the brothers in the yamen, even if they run away, they are just afraid, they were all good people before."

Hearing what Gou San said, Bai Song felt more at ease and valued more.

Just as Bai Song was about to decide to let the prefect try it, a person walked in the yamen.

It was a middle-aged man with gray sideburns, tall and straight.

"I would like to take over Yangzhou."

Bai Song looked at this middle-aged man, and suddenly felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was.

"What is this?" Bai Song asked subconsciously.

Gou San also frowned and whispered, "This is the household book of the management warehouse." ”

"Grain officer?" Bai Song muttered and asked, "Now that the Yangzhou Gang is rampant in Yangzhou City, if you become the prefect of Yangzhou, how can you rectify it?" ”

The other party replied: "Go to the imperial court first, and ask the holy decree to characterize the Yangzhou Gang as anti-thieves, and with the name of anti-thieves, the Yangzhou garrison will have to stand by and watch again." With the Yangzhou garrison as the mainstay, concentrate on clearing the main personnel of the Yangzhou Gang in the city, and drive them out of Yangzhou City even if they cannot be arrested. As long as the head of the Yangzhou Gang is no longer in the city, the remaining ordinary members have nothing to fear, as long as they continue to crack down, within half a year, no one in Yangzhou will dare to call themselves Yangzhou Gang. ”

"The Yangzhou Gang is known as 5,000, and the Yangzhou Garrison Military Region is 3,000, how to deal with it?"

"Five thousand minions, untrained, how can they be the opponent of the garrison?"

"But there are martial arts masters in the Yangzhou Gang, how do you deal with it?"

"If the master can be ten, I will use a hundred people to capture it, if the master can block a hundred, I will kill a thousand people, Yangzhou garrison is not enough, as well as Suzhou and Hangzhou! The garrisons in various places were ordered to rebel, who dared not to help? As long as the Yangzhou Gang is driven out of Yangzhou, and then united with nearby states and counties to jointly encircle and suppress, these bandits have no other way but to fall into the grass. And the Yangzhou Gang can recruit so many people, mainly because they have been entrenched in the rich land of Yangzhou for a long time. ”

Bai Song nodded again and again: "What's your name?" ”

"Shangguan Yi."

"What? Shangguan Yi? Bai Song's eyes widened, and he looked at the person below again.

If it is really Shangguanyi, no wonder I feel familiar.

Bai Song was a little excited, and even asked, "Do you recognize me?" ”

Shangguan Yi arched his hand: "Lord Bai, don't come to harm?" ”

Bai Song didn't know how to answer, he used to ask Shangguan Yi to help him with his errands, and he was ready to praise him as his help.

But this Shangguan Yi promised well, but there was no news, and he actually ran to Jiangnan.

If Shangguan Yi comes to take over Yangzhou, it must be much more suitable than Gousan.

"You've been here all the time?" Bai Song asked.

"Yes."

"Why didn't you say goodbye in the first place?"

Shangguan Yi looked ashamed, bowed his head and said: "I didn't take a good look at the adults at the beginning, Shangguan Yi is a criminal minister, so I don't want to cause trouble to the adults." ”

"But why did you take the initiative to ask for it now?"

"Because of the prestige of today's adults, it is enough to correct the name of the lower officials, take over Yangzhou, return to the official career, and obey the dispatch of Lord Bai in the future."

"Good! It's rare that you have the energy, Yangzhou City will be handed over to you, and I can rest assured. ”

Bai Song said excitedly, and the dog next to him coughed lightly, looking a little embarrassed.

Bai Song also touched his nose in embarrassment: "Dog San, you will be a head catcher in the future." ”

Shangguan Yi is here, and things can finally get back on track.

Bai Song took it to the inner hall and immediately wrote a letter back to Chang'an.

Writing a letter in person is to reassure Shangguanyi.

Shangguan Yi has been dormant for many years, waiting for such an opportunity.

So I thanked Bai Song again.

"Words of thanks don't need to be said." Bai Song waved his hand, "I don't need your help to exterminate the Yangzhou Gang, I need someone to take care of Yangzhou now, and after I leave, the Yangzhou Gang will resurge." ”

Shangguan Yi arched his hand: "Don't worry, as long as there are lower officials, there will be no problems in Yangzhou City." ”

"The words are not spoken, Yangzhou City is not easy to get now, there are few people who can use it up and down, how to manage the internal management of the yamen, do you have any plans?"
