When Liu Zheng did this, the whole city started to wail.
In the past few days, Yangzhou has been like a hell on earth. Who wouldn’t be frightened? Besides, although Lu Zhengyi made this big mistake, he still had some prestige after being in charge of Yangzhou for so long.
"Master Lu..."
"I remember when Liu Zheng passed by here, Master Lu regarded me as a confidant and knew me and trusted me! Today, because Liu Zheng came late, the yin and yang were separated. It was Liu Zheng's fault!"
Liu Zheng cried out in various ways, and the noble family members also wiped their tears.
What's more, those common people?
Since ancient times, the people in the fiefdom have had a feeling of being dominated by others. What are they most afraid of? Are there no human rights? No! What they are most worried about is that no one controls them and no one leads the direction of Yangzhou. They may even starve to death!
Therefore, Lu Zhengyi's death also plunged them into a deep panic.
Therefore, they naturally had great expectations for Liu Zheng, who had just arrived.
"The chaos in Yangzhou started with this thief!"
"Kill without mercy!"
At this time, Chen Kui, whose face had turned white with fear, was pushed out.
Liu Zheng looked at him coldly and shouted: "The thief Chen Kui, do you know your crime?"
Chen Kui wanted to speak, but his mouth was stuffed with cloth.
"If you still want to make excuses, I will take your life to sacrifice Lord Lu's spirit in heaven!"
Poof!
He was struck down with a sword and his head was in a different place.
Then, Liu Zheng began to mourn again.
"Master Liu is so kind!"
"Sir, there is chaos in Yangzhou today. Don't be too sad. The overall situation in Yangzhou depends on you now!"
That person, Mr. Cheng, hurried over to persuade him, but he was thinking, this guy is so sincere in his acting, could he be an actor by background? It's clearly your order. When you enter the city, Lu Zhengyi will die! It's you who killed him, and it's you who can't stop crying now!
When Cheng Dai said this, the people also shouted. For a time, the people's wishes had reached Liu Zheng.
"So, so, Master Lu must be buried generously!"
Liu Zheng pretended to be good for a while, and then everyone praised him for his good deeds.
This is not because Liu Zheng is hypocritical, but because in this era, if you want to safely take over the power of rule from a dead ruler, this trick is actually very effective. Lu Zhengyi must be treated well, even though he is dead! Because most people in Yangzhou have become accustomed to being ruled by Lu Zhengyi.
If Liu Zheng suddenly comes, there will definitely be a lot of acclimatization.
During this period, a transition is needed.
Regardless of sincerity or hypocrisy, it is necessary to give Lu Zhengyi a generous burial.
Then, the next thing is another drama.
"Everyone, the bandits have been wiped out. Yangzhou should return to peace and stability. The Liangzhou Prefecture will definitely appoint a new county magistrate to take office. I, the Yinzhou soldiers, should not stay any longer to avoid misunderstandings. Let's say goodbye! I hope Yangzhou will restore order as soon as possible!"
Liu Zheng clasped his fists and spoke with great emotion and sincerity.
When everyone heard this, they were shocked.
"Master Liu, you absolutely must not do this!"
"The people of Yangzhou are determined and need Mr. Liu's Yinzhou soldiers to take care of them!"
"Thieves are scurrying around and will come back at any time. Young Master must not leave!"
The noble families took the lead and immediately stated that they did not care about the new county prince, and that Mr. Liu should be the one in Yangzhou!
After hearing this, Liu Zheng showed a look of sincerity and fear on his face and even said he did not dare.
Noble family members tried to persuade him, but Liu Zheng refused again.
In the end, the people also joined in the persuasion, and Liu Zheng still said that state and county government officials should be appointed by the Liangzhou government to be reasonable and legal.
Looking at the crowd, I really can’t stand it.
Liu Zheng then looked worried about the country and the people, and shouted: "In that case, Liu Zheng will enforce the law on behalf of the county magistrate. Before Liangzhou Prefecture sends another county magistrate, Liu Zheng will work hard to restore social order in Yangzhou!"
As soon as this was said, everyone applauded.
Even the leaderless Yangzhou Prefecture soldiers said they had no objections.
"Hmph, I welcome the famous master of Yangzhou, and now it seems that he is just a sour scholar!"
At this moment, a sudden mocking voice sounded.
Everyone looked.
The skinny Jiang Xuan looked at Liu Zheng with disdain.
"Be bold!"
"Who are you, dare to insult Young Master Liu?"
"Jiang Xuan, don't you want to die?"
Noble families and common people cursed one after another.
Liu Zheng squinted and asked, "Who are you?"
Jiang Xuan snorted coldly, and someone said next to him: "Sir, this kid is a lunatic! He wanders around all day and does not do his job!"
“That’s right, you’re asking Mr. Lu for advice today, I’m really laughing to death!”
Everyone laughed.
Some good people directly told Jiang Xuan's four strategies in public.
Nawang clan, suppress the people, lure scattered soldiers, attack Yinzhou!
"What else is going on? You Jiang Xuan actually wants to bully the people. Don't forget, you are also a mud-legged person!"
"ungrateful!"
When the people heard this, they were furious. This is especially true for noble families. This guy is so bad that he actually wants to instigate Lu Zhengyi to capture the private soldiers of noble families.
Only Liu Zheng was horrified and looked at him in horror.
Jiang Xuan snorted coldly: "You know nothing! If Master Lu listened to my advice, he wouldn't die!"
Everyone laughed and laughed again.
Only Liu Zheng took a deep breath. Because as Jiang Xuan said, if Lu Zhengyi really listened to Jiang Xuan's advice during the day today and implemented the four strategies in sequence, it would be really difficult for Liu Zheng to enter Yangzhou! Not only that, it is possible for Lu Zhengyi to turn defeat into victory! Of course, Liu Zheng also formulated this series of strategies to capture Yangzhou after seeing Lu Zhengyi's indecisiveness. If he was really such a decisive person, Yangzhou would not be in such a situation.
but!
No matter how it ends, this guy who looks like he is dressed in rags, skinny as a stick, and has wolf-like eyes, is actually so talented?
Under this social system, each of his four strategies is to the point, without any sloppiness. Without even considering any other complicated situations, he can even calmly break away from the shackles of his family background, and his purpose and timeliness are quite precise! Very consistent with the style of a general!
Others wanted to drive Jiang Xuan away.
Liu Zheng smiled slightly, stopped them, looked at Jiang Xuan and asked: "Can you teach me anything?"
Jiang Xuan snorted coldly, with a ruthless look in his eyes: "Since Yinzhou soldiers have entered Yangzhou, why don't you rule it with force? Now that the war in the north of Liangzhou is tight, there will be no time to take care of Yangzhou affairs. You, such a magic weapon, are the most powerful weapons in the world. …”
As soon as this statement came out, everyone's expression changed drastically.
Doesn't this make Mr. Liu rebellious and support his own troops? Although in this era, there were many vassal kings, each acting in their own way, but they were still within the scope of the law, and at most they were a little arrogant. However, the bold act proposed by Jiang Xuan was truly treasonous and outraged by both humans and gods! Nowadays, the idea of royal power is still the mainstream. On the shore of the land, could it be the royal ministers! If you support the army and establish Yangzhou on your own, wouldn't it be a precedent for rebelling against the king? You will be despised by others both emotionally and legally!
"kill him!"
"What a wolfish ambition!"
"This kid is considered a monster and cannot be tolerated!"
Everyone was furious, but Jiang Xuan showed no fear on his face and just looked at Liu Zheng coldly.
Liu Zheng smiled. In a short period of time, he quite admired this boy. Cruel and purposeful! He is a real talent, but his shortcoming is that he is too ruthless and upright, but look at this kid, he is only sixteen years old! There is still room for adjustment.
Take it!
"Hahahaha, don't be surprised. Jiang Xuan's childish words are unbridled, so don't pay attention! The family must have been angry with Mr. Lu for a long time, so he made such extreme remarks."
Liu Zheng quickly smoothed things over and gave Shen Xing another wink. Shen Xing understood immediately, and with a few people, he tied up Jiang Xuan and took him to the county marquis' mansion. Jiang Xuan cursed all the way, but his voice was soon buried among the voices of the people.
Next, Liu Zheng took the Yinzhou soldiers and all moved into the county marquis' mansion.
People also returned home one after another, and some organized cleaning of the streets and garbage collection.
The group of "think tanks" in the county magistrate's office saw the arrival of adults, so they all came to apply for jobs, and never mentioned the fact that their sows were giving birth to piglets. Liu Zheng was too lazy to say anything more. In this critical period, the first priority was to stabilize the situation in Yangzhou.
These people are more familiar with the Yangzhou government and will naturally play a positive role in the efficiency of the implementation of government orders.
It is enough to leave such trivial matters to Shen Xing.
…
And at this time.
Liangzhou Prefecture.
Chen Ping looked at the letter, his face was ashen, his hands were already shaking, he slapped the letter on the table with a bang, and shouted: "This is unreasonable, how could it be like this, how could it be like this! Yangzhou is in the hands of the Liu family and his son!" "
When the subordinates heard this, their expressions changed.
"Sir, we must not let Liu Dahao occupy Yangzhou!"
"Liangzhou Prefecture should send the trustworthy county magistrate to serve as soon as possible!"
"The Liu family and his son are so ambitious that we must guard against them! Yangzhou must take them back!"
Chen Ping said with a dark face: "How to get it?"
"The war in the north is tense. The five thousand elite soldiers Liangzhou plans to send to suppress the bandits are all old, weak, sick and disabled! And Liu Zheng now has seven thousand soldiers waiting for work!"
Everyone looked at each other and talked about it, but no one could think of a solution.
The order to suppress bandits was given by Chen Ping himself!
Liu Zheng's entry into Yangzhou had legal basis. You can't do anything in this regard. And Liu Zheng is in Yangzhou at this time, and his prestige is definitely soaring, and the people are at home. That is not just 7,000 elite soldiers, but also hundreds of thousands of people!
It would be unrealistic to forcibly capture the Liu family and his son, and it might even cause a mutiny.
but……
Are we just going to watch the Liu family and his sons control Yangzhou?
You know, Yinzhou is a truly ungovernable land, but the population of Yangzhou alone has reached 600,000, which means there are two Yinzhous! Although it is not rich, it is much stronger than Yinzhou. Wouldn't it be a bad thing if such a city fell into the hands of the Liu family and his son?
"Sir, no matter what, Liangzhou Prefecture should send a new county magistrate to go!"
"It is feasible! No matter how arrogant the Liu family is, they would not dare to openly confront the Liangzhou Prefecture!"
No one could think of any solution.
At this time, Chen Ping was so regretful that his intestines were green. Lu Zhengyi is so vulnerable! And that Luo Xiongchao, isn’t he a bitter-faced Yama? Was Liu Zheng's charge thrown into disarray?
waste!
A bunch of trash!
If he had known this, Chen Ping would not have issued the bandit suppression order to Liu Zheng even if he was beaten to death!
The more he thought about it, the angrier Chen Ping became, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
"Who's going?"
Chen Ping's words caused the entire audience to fall into deathly silence.
You look at me, I look at you.
Who will be the county magistrate?
Who dares to go?
