"Are you really Mr. Su's subordinates?" The farmer man looked at the soldiers in front of him with disbelief.
The big soldier nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, brother, we are Mr. Su's subordinates. Not only are we back this time, Mr. Su is also back. Now Lingbei County has been taken over by us."
Hearing what the soldier said, the farmer's face showed deep excitement, then he turned around and shouted loudly to the people who had closed their doors behind him.
"Fellow folks, open the doors. Mr. Su is back. It's Mr. Su's team that's back."
As soon as these words came out, in an instant, the closed doors on the street suddenly opened, and a large number of people poured out of the room.
They took to the streets and rushed to tell each other, with inexplicable joy on their faces.
As early as the conversation between the farmer man and the soldier, the people who were closer had roughly known. They didn't really feel relieved and walked out of their homes until they got confirmation.
No wonder everyone is so excited, Su Qi'an still has a high prestige in Lingbei County.
It’s not just his outstanding talent, but he has done several great things in Lingbei County.
Although Dongshan Village is outside the county seat and some distance away from the county seat, the development of Dongshan Village is obvious to all.
Most of the tens of thousands of people in the village are related to the county town.
Because of the development of Dongshan Village, their lives have gradually improved. In layman's terms, they have money in their pockets and enough to eat.
This is not the point. The most important thing is that Su Qi'an launched a massive bandit suppression operation in Lingbei County.
It is no exaggeration to say that after Su Qian's suppression of bandits, there was no trace of bandits in the suburbs of Lingbei County.
Bandits are almost extinct in Lingbei County. Su Qian's name is also heard by bandits in various counties.
Anyone who dares to enter Lingbei County will face death. Precisely because of the shock, Lingbei County has the best security among the seven counties under Sichuandu County.
Without the harassment of bandits, the people in the county can sleep peacefully.
This is the greatest contribution. Su Qi'an was the first to eliminate bandits in Lingbei County.
Based on this, Su Qi'an's reputation is quite high in Lingbei County.
Most of them are ordinary people, but there are also some with vision.
Dongshan Village was besieged and suppressed a few days ago. A few people knew about such a big thing, and after thinking about it for a moment, they knew that some big shots above were going to take action against Su Qi'an.
Some people actually wanted to report the news in advance, but before they could leave the city, the county magistrate issued a ban prohibiting anyone from leaving the city. Unfortunately, they could only wait silently.
Although they didn't know the outcome of that night in Dongshan Village, their hearts sank when they saw the large number of soldiers returning.
It is estimated that Dongshan Village suffered heavy losses, and the soldiers who returned had no intention of leaving. They had a premonition that something big was going to happen.
Although they can guess a little, they are just civilians after all and can only watch.
Sure enough, not long after, a fierce battle broke out in the county town. The fierceness of the battle made my heart tremble.
They all made a decision in their hearts: when the war was over, they would leave Lingbei County no matter what.
If possible, search for traces of the villagers in Dongshan Village and follow them no matter what.
Unexpectedly, after the fierce battle, the person who took over Lingbei County would be Mr. Su, who had been away for more than a year.
This time Mr. Su not only came back, he even brought an army with him.
What does it mean to have an army? This meant that Su Qi'an, who came from their small Lingbei County, was definitely a marquis.
Thinking of this, everyone was even more excited and happy. After so many years, Lingbei County had a marquis. This was not only the glory of Su Qi'an, but also the blessing of Lingbei County.
When Su Qian'an came back this time, they finally had a backbone in their hearts, and they were no longer as worried and panicked as they had been in the past few days.
As more and more people took to the streets, the originally deserted Lingbei County was suddenly filled with excitement.
the direction they went,
There was only one, and that was the Lingbei County Government Office. In less than a stick of incense, the empty entrance of the Lingbei County Government Office was instantly filled with people.
At such a scale, the yamen servants were dumbfounded and couldn't help but take a few steps back.
They had never seen such a formation before. They thought that the gathered people were planning to attack the Yamen, so they immediately turned around and reported.
The people who gathered there were very orderly at this time. They stood about two meters away from the yamen entrance and stopped.
They were speechless, looking towards the county government office with expectation flashing in their eyes.
After a while, under everyone's gaze, Su Qian walked out.
Seeing that familiar figure, at this moment, countless people knelt down and worshiped him very respectfully.
"I'll pay my respects to the Marquis later."
Feeling the overwhelming momentum in front of him, Su Qi'an was obviously startled and quickly spoke to let everyone get up.
Su Qi'an was not used to having so many people worshiping him.
Su Qi'an spoke, and the people who were kneeling stood up one after another, but their faces were full of excitement.
Su Qi'an, who returned to Lingbei County, was also very excited. Seeing more and more people gathering, he restrained his emotions and briefly talked to everyone, and then handed over the affairs here to County Magistrate He. .
Su Qi'an's reputation is too high. If he continues to stay, even if it lasts three days and three nights, these people will not leave.
Su Qian could understand the excitement of the villagers, but he couldn't waste time here.
He wanted to arrange personnel, although he was planning to leave for Xizhou City to have a good chat with the ruler of the state.
Su Qi'an's return plunged the entire Lingbei County into unprecedented excitement. The original night curfew was also canceled today.
A large number of people took to the streets, looking beaming with joy. Even late at night, it could not stop their excitement at all.
Not only were they happy for Su Qian's return, but as the Dongshan Army took over Lingbei County, they clearly felt the calm in nearby counties and even the county.
It seemed that everything that happened here had nothing to do with them, and they completely acquiesced to Su Qi'an's army to take over Lingbei County.
This is not because the soldiers in the county are kind-hearted or anything, but because they dare not.
A total of two thousand troops, including several hundred Heilu troops, followed Tang Xiao to annihilate Dongshan Village and instantly took over the defense of Lingbei.
As a result, after being gone for less than two days, the army of 2,000 people suffered heavy losses, and only two or three hundred people came back alive.
Moreover, even the crown prince Tang Xiao has become a prisoner there, and the news has long been spread back to the county.
All of a sudden, the lieutenants who had put the county on standby were dumbfounded.
They were Tang Xiao's confidants, so they naturally knew why Tang Xiao went to Lingbei County.
In order to capture Su Qi'an alive, there were internal support and the preparation of two thousand troops. It should be a sure thing to catch Su Qi'an by surprise.
But in the end, Su Qi'an was allowed to fight back. Through understanding, they knew that Su Qi'an had a very powerful army, named Dongshan Army.
There were two thousand in number, which was similar to the troops they had in hand, but their strength was extremely terrifying. It was this Dongshan Army that forcibly disabled the army brought by Tang Xiao.
At this time, if they go to rescue, no matter what, they will definitely kill him.
Besides, Tang Xiao was still in Su Qian's hands and they didn't know the specific situation. How could they dare to act rashly.
Therefore, the news was sent back to Master Zhou Mu as soon as possible, and the news of Zhou Mu's return was also very fast.
Let them be responsible for monitoring Su Qi'an's situation in Lingbei County, and leave them out of other matters.
With Zhou Mu's words, these lieutenants felt a lot more relaxed. They were really afraid that Lord Zhou Mu would lose his mind because the prince fell into the hands of Su Qi'an.
Let them launch an attack regardless of the consequences. Fortunately, Mr. Zhou Mu did not do so.
They can rest assured and just use surveillance from now on.
Not only the county, but the surrounding counties of Lingbei County also received this order. The soldiers stationed in the other counties did not act rashly.
They are all under surveillance.
At this time, Lingbei County was like an independent existence. There was no intention to take action against it and it was completely allowed to develop.
The people in the city were the first to notice the changes in the outside world. They celebrated and were very excited.
Lingbei County can be feared by the outside world and dare not take action, all because of Su Qi'an's intimidation.
After all, who doesn’t want to live a stable life, and who wants their home to become a battlefield?
This time, Su Qian's return gave them a lot of peace of mind.
The lack of action from the outside world does not mean that Lingbei County is indifferent. On the contrary, the day after Su Qian's return, Lingbei County held a massive public trial.
The main target of this public trial was the traitor Shuisheng. At the public trial site, basically everyone from the county came.
After listening to Su Yong's explanation, everyone understood the cause and effect of the whole matter.
All of a sudden, the anger in everyone's hearts was ignited. Every group was so angry that they wanted to rush to the high platform and beat Shui Sheng to death.
Although they are not Su Qi'an's subordinates, Su Ji Trading Company established by Su Qi'an has been of great help to them in daily life.
Moreover, many of their relatives joined Suji Trading Company and could have lived a stable life.
The result was that because of Shui Sheng's betrayal, Su Ji Trading Company was destroyed and its personnel dispersed. The whereabouts of his family are still unknown.
All because Shuisheng, a rat turd, ruined the whole pot of porridge, and also attracted Tang Xiao, turning Lingbei County into a battlefield.
How could this not make everyone excited? Fortunately, before the public trial meeting, Su Qi'an had ordered soldiers to be protected near the high platform, which was able to withstand the impact of the angry people.
The purpose of Su Qi'an's public trial was not to promote hatred, but to inform all the people through Shui Sheng's example.
If you want to live a good life, you have to work hard. If you become a traitor because of your own selfishness, you will not only harm yourself, but also countless relatives, friends, and neighbors around you.
Today's execution of Shui Sheng is to remind all people not to ruin their lives because of greed.
These words were conveyed by Su Qi'an to Su Yong before the public trial, but he did not appear at the scene.
As a confidant, Su Yong could probably guess what Su Qi'an was thinking. He didn't say anything and just did as he was told.
After he finished reading what Su Qi'an told him, Shuisheng was half-kneeling on the ground and looking into the distance. No one knew what he was thinking.
Suddenly he turned his head, glanced at Su Yong, and said with a smile, "Haha, I understand you now, sir. It's because I don't understand him. It's superficial. The cause of the day is the result of today. I'm here today all because of myself. If In the next life, Shuisheng will definitely work as a cow and a horse for his husband, and he will never complain."
"Brother, do me a favor and give me a good time. I can be considered a negative example and give you a warning."
Su Yong nodded, his face was indifferent, he didn't say anything, and he operated the tiger head brake on the side.
He raised the knife and lowered it without any hesitation. With a fierce slash, blood shot into the sky, and Shui Sheng's head fell down, ending his somewhat sad life.
