Li Ru'an took a deep look at Liu Ye, and his expression was a little more serious.

At the same time, after knowing the origin of these heads, Li Ruan was secretly relieved and no longer nervous and panicked as before.

After gathering his thoughts for a moment, Li Ruan asked: "Are these all the heads of the rebel leaders in Beicheng? Have they been killed by you? I didn't realize that you are also a cruel and ruthless person! ... However, it is just as you said. , after these people died, whether they were refugees from Zhao'an North City or explained to the court afterwards, many things became easier..."

After saying that, Li Ruan glanced sideways at Tianshui Tong judge Zhang Zhengru, his eyes full of blame and contempt for Liu Ye's killing of the leader of the Beicheng rebels. The government did not receive any news at all. It was really useless and harmful. Li Ruan couldn't help but make a fool of himself after seeing these heads all of a sudden.

On the other side, Liu Ye showed no sign of success and just lowered his head and replied: "It's not that the criminals are ruthless. It's actually that these Beicheng rioters are too hateful. The riots in Tianshui City are largely due to their fueling. The vast majority of the people They were all implicated by them, especially after the commotion, they burned, killed, raped, looted and committed all kinds of crimes. The people of Nancheng and Xicheng united during this period, largely to resist their cruelty..."

After a pause, Liu Ye looked solemn and said: "The leader Wang Hu was originally a general flag officer of Tianshui City. After he rebelled, he once wanted to instigate the defenders of the North City Gate to turn this commotion away. Expanding to all parts of Shaanxi and Gansu, re-enacting the events of Li Bandit and Zhang Bandit, and even directly surrendering to the Mongols to take advantage of the bandits. If the criminals hadn't been trying to contain them, maybe he would have succeeded!"

Hearing Liu Ye's explanation, Li Ruan couldn't help but be surprised again!

The Li Bandit and Zhang Bandit Liu Ye refers to are the "Chuang King" Li Zicheng and the "Eight Great Kings" Zhang Xianzhong of the previous dynasty! In this time and space, due to Emperor Chongzhen's timely response and the delay of the Little Ice Age, the rebellion of these two people was quickly wiped out, but it still caused a very bad impact.

Unexpectedly, Wang Hu's ambitions were so great. If he really succeeded, he would not only bribe the local garrison, but also contact the Mongolian coalition forces, and further expand the scale of this civil unrest. The whole of Shaanxi and Gansu will be completely out of control, let alone Zhao Junchen's plan to destroy the Mongolian coalition.

Thinking of this, Li Ru'an couldn't help but secretly feel lucky for Zhao Junchen.

At the same time, Li Ruan paid more attention to Liu Ye in front of him and said slowly: "If this is the case, you have definitely made a great contribution to this matter. After the imperial envoy learns about this matter, he will definitely reward you heavily." You...by the way, how did you kill them?"

Liu Ye still bowed his head respectfully and replied: "After the riot, the people were quickly divided into two groups. One was headed by Wang Hu, and the other was led by the guilty people! Wang Hu was the most At first, they wanted to forcibly annex the sinners and others to expand their power, but after the two sides fought several times, the sinners barely repelled Wang Hu's attack, and even took away the west city that was originally controlled by Wang Hu's forces. Many of the people who followed Wang Hu in rebellion also fled to the sinners... When Wang Hu saw that he could not do anything to the sinners, he wanted to bribe the sinners, but the sinners despised Wang Hu's character and ignored him..."

At this point, Liu Ye's tone suddenly became more subtle, and he added: "However, when the criminals received the news and learned that Lord Supervisor, you rushed to Tianshui City and wanted to make decisions for the people of Tianshui City. After that, he pretended to agree to Wang Hu’s conditions and took the opportunity to ask him to meet... After the two parties met, first with a few words of flattery, and then with a few glasses of poisonous wine, Wang Hu and others naturally killed him!"

"It's a good idea..." As he spoke, Li Ruan suddenly felt that something was wrong. He changed the topic and asked: "In other words, before our family made an appointment with you, you had already learned about our family's arrival in the city. Did you even know that our family killed a group of corrupt officials and evil gentry in Tianshui City? Or maybe you even further guessed that our family would punish you?"

This time, Liu Ye remained silent and did not answer clearly, but it was equivalent to acquiescence.

Li Ruan looked deeply at Liu Ye again, and then turned to look at Zhang Zhengru again. When he looked at Liu Ye, Li Ruan's expression became more serious, and when he looked at Zhang Zhengru, his expression became more disdainful.

Obviously, although the government in Tianshui City could not know the news from the rebels in time, Liu Ye was well aware of all the movements in Tianshui East City, which must be because he had an informant in the government.

Perhaps, as early as when Deng Fu'an, the prefect of Tianshui, asked Zhao Junchen for help, Liu Ye had guessed today's change in the situation and had already begun secret preparations!

Thinking of this, Li Ru'an paid more and more attention to Liu Ye, but also felt a little happy!

*

Li Ruan had long been fed up with Zhao Junchen's manipulation, but he was deeply wary of Zhao Junchen's scheming methods and did not dare to resist easily! Li Ru'an knew very well that without the support of his own forces, resisting Zhao Junchen would be asking for death!

At the same time, as an eunuch of the inner court, if Li Ruan wants to form a powerful team, he can only start from the inner court at first, but Zhao Junchen is also secretly infiltrating the inner court. Li Ruan does not know Zhao Junchen's detailed plan, so naturally If Li Ruan is secretly forming a team, the candidate he values ​​​​is actually Zhao Junchen's spy in the inner court. Zhao Junchen will definitely be aware of Li Ruan's thoughts, and then he will still be dead!

But now, the appearance of Liu Ye in front of him makes Li Ru'an feel happy!

If Li Ruan wants to form a team, Liu Ye is definitely a good candidate!

This person has a clean foundation and a pure origin. He is definitely not a spy of Zhao Junchen or the various factions in the imperial court. His scheming methods are also extremely clever. He has shown forbearance, keen judgment on changes in the situation, and the ability to look for all advantages. The means by which the factors achieve their goals are all amazing, and they are somewhat similar to Zhao Junchen!

The most important thing is that Liu Ye is now just a failed scholar, and must be a talent that is not recognized, while Li Ruan is the northwest supervisor appointed by Emperor Deqing, and his status is second only to Zhao Junchen in the provinces of Shaanxi and Gansu. He wants to recruit It’s not difficult for this person!

Thinking of this, Li Ruan's eyes gradually brightened.

Then, Li Ruan looked at Liu Ye carefully for a long time again, and suddenly smiled and said: "I didn't expect that the imperial court has a sage in the field! Your methods are not as good as those of the Gonggun princes and frontier officials in the imperial court. How bad is it? I heard that you are a failed scholar?"

Hearing Li Ru'an's question, Liu Ye's sleeping phoenix eyes flickered with light, but his tone remained calm and restrained, and he replied: "The guilty people are not good at learning and have failed in many tests. In addition, they are getting older, so they stopped taking the imperial examination." In the past few years, I had served as the master's staff under some local officials, but was not taken seriously, so I returned to my hometown in Tianshui the year before last and made teaching my career."

Liu Ye's answer was simply a detailed introduction to his resume.

Such an answer clearly means that Liu Ye has guessed Li Ruan's solicitation intention, and he also intends to join Li Ruan.

Therefore, Li Ruan's smile became closer and he said: "With your ability, it is a bit unfair to stay in Tianshui City to teach... Well, after the matter in Tianshui City is resolved, you can stay with our family for the time being! Our family I can’t bear to let your talents go to waste, so I should accept the talents for the imperial court, and I will definitely find you a good job in the future!”

Li Ru'an's attitude could be described as thirsty for talents, and Liu Ye responded without any hesitation, bowing and saying: "Thank you, Lord Supervisor, for the sinners!"

Li Ruan said with a smile: "On behalf of the imperial court and the Imperial Envoy, our family has pardoned Mr. Liu's past crimes. From now on, Mr. Liu should not call himself a sinner!"

"Students obey!"

"From now on, I hope Mr. Liu will give me more advice!"

"Don't dare!"

For a time, the guests and hosts were enjoying themselves and the atmosphere was harmonious!

*

In fact, at this moment, Li Ruan was not aware of his true feelings.

He couldn't wait to recruit Liu Ye. The most important reason was because Liu Ye's acting style was somewhat similar to Zhao Junchen. After taking this person under his sect, Li Ru'an would have the illusion that he could Controlling Zhao Junchen is normal!

Therefore, Li Ru'an ignored a very important thing. If Liu Ye and Zhao Junchen were really similar, how could such a person be easily conquered by Li Ru'an?

*

In the next two days, with the help of Zhang Zhengru and Liu Ye, Li Ruan finally calmed down the civil unrest in Tianshui City and regained control of the situation in Tianshui City. Tianshui City's city defense was once again strengthened.

After doing all this, Li Ru'an knew that Zhao Junchen was waiting for news about him, so he naturally did not dare to delay, and immediately sent someone to inform Zhao Junchen of the news.

At this point, Zhao Junchen's long-planned battle plan can finally be launched again!
