There were no people in the twelve cities that Qin had just recovered, but when they returned to Xiping Pass, it was really lively.
Now, the news of Xiao Yuan's victory over Xirong has spread throughout the Qin Dynasty. He has returned in triumph. It is conceivable that the people can't help but be excited.
For many years, the people of Qin hated Xirong, but could not see hope. Now, finally, a new governor came to lead the Qin army and defeated the powerful enemy.
No one needed to organize it at all. People gathered on both sides of the street, and the scene was extremely grand.
When Xiao Yuan rode a tall horse and led a large number of Qin troops to pass by, everyone began to raise their arms and cheer loudly.
This is the case whenever you pass through a city.
There is no need to say more about the support of the people.
Suddenly, Xiao Yuan's power increased again!
Wuwei Mansion in Qinzhou.
The officers gathered together. Ye Cheng, dressed in armor, strode in from outside. Seeing him, people stood up quickly, clasped their fists and said, "Sir"
"No need to be polite." Ye Cheng went straight forward, stood in front of a map on the wall, and then waved: "Come closer, everyone."
Hanging on the wall is a detailed map of Qinzhou City, which shows various streets and some houses.
When all the officers gathered around, Ye Cheng got straight to the point and said: "The governor led his army to defeat the Xirong. This news has spread throughout the Qin Dynasty. The people cheered and the response was huge. What I want to say is Safety issues when the Grand Administrator returns to Qinzhou in three days."
"Today, the prestige of the prefect is too high. When people from all over the country heard about this, they all wanted to see it. The people were excited. When the time comes, I'm afraid there will inevitably be trouble." An officer said worriedly: "I heard from my humble position, the prefect When we passed through Fengyang County, there were so many people gathering on the streets..."
"Don't talk about Fengyang. The same is true now in Qinzhou. This is because the prefect has not come back. By then, I am afraid that more people will gather on the street and the scene will be even more chaotic. I heard that many people have packed both sides of the street. Some windows on the second floor." Another officer said.
"Well? This is to the point." Ye Cheng took over the words: "The location on the second floor of these restaurants and inns is particularly important. Such commanding heights must be checked clearly to see if there are any people living there. Suspected assassin."
Hearing this, an officer tentatively asked: "How about we clear the whole city while there is still time?"
"How to clear it up?" Ye Cheng glared at him: "How many people are there in Qinzhou City! Have they all been arrested? Can the prison hold it? Besides, Wuwei Mansion is a law enforcement agency. If people are arrested indiscriminately without evidence, it will trigger If there is a big turmoil, when the prefect comes back, will I have any good fruits to eat?"
As he spoke, he glanced at the officers again: "If I am reprimanded, you and others will not be able to have an easy time!"
"This..." People couldn't help but swallow cautiously.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Ye Cheng changed the topic: "Okay, the duty of the Wuwei Mansion is to protect the safety of the city, not to mention the safety of the prefect, no matter how difficult it is, we have to deal with it."
As he spoke, he pointed sideways at the map and said, "This is the north gate of Qinzhou. When your Excellency returns to the city, officials at all levels will greet you here."
"Then, your Excellency will pass through the main street, here, here, and then to the Prefect's Mansion."
Ye Cheng said while gesturing on the map:
"By then, there will definitely be countless people gathering on both sides of the street. In order to avoid chaos, Geng Liang is responsible for cooperating with the military to maintain order."
"Understood." An officer responded with clasped fists.
Ye Cheng continued: "Cao Zhen is in charge of the second floor locations on both sides of the street and will conduct a comprehensive investigation. If anyone is found hiding a crossbow, he will be arrested immediately."
"Qi Ying is responsible for hunting down the remnants of the rebellious party. In this case, they will definitely fish in troubled waters and must catch them all!"
"Yes!" Qi Ying replied with clasped fists. After he was transferred to Wuwei Mansion by Xiao Yuan, he overturned many unjust cases, especially the Fengyang Cai Mansion case, which had already been re-confirmed by him. Now he is in Wuwei Mansion , and was also highly regarded by Ye Cheng.
Before Xiao Yuan returned to Qinzhou, Wuwei Mansion had already launched an operation.
For a time, soldiers took to the streets and began to conduct comprehensive investigations, nipping any possible assassination in the bud.
Three days later, Qinzhou North Gate.
At this time, not only the people gathered here to watch, but also all the officials from Qin were present. People in official uniforms were standing on tiptoe to watch.
Not long after, Xiao Yuan arrived with his army. He was riding a war horse, wearing black brocade clothes and a brocade belt, a war sword hanging on his waist, and a jade hairpin. Behind him, there were a large number of Qin soldiers.
The flags were fluttering, and when they saw this scene, all the officials rushed forward in a hurry, and Xiao Yuan also reined in the reins.
Welcoming them outside the city, the officials were just about to bend down and bow deeply, but at this moment, Fengyang County Magistrate Jiang Yi knelt down directly on the ground, put his hands on the side of his head, raised his buttocks, and shouted loudly shouted:
"Welcome my Lord"
He took the lead, and the other officials were stunned for a moment, and then they all knelt down.
You must know that Xiao Yuan is just the prefect of Qinzhou. Strictly speaking, although these officials are appointed by him, they have a superior-subordinate relationship and there is no need to kneel down and worship.
This is not meeting the king.
But Jiang Yi just did this. It can also be said that he completely regarded Xiao Yuan as his lord.
Xiao Yuan was stunned when he saw this, and then stretched out his hand and said: "Why do you need to pay such a big gift? Please get up quickly."
"Thank you, my lord!" Before anyone else could say anything, Jiang Yi was the first to say, "Your Excellency is the lord of the land of Qin, and your subordinates are my lord's ministers. It is appropriate to kneel down and worship."
When he spoke, it was with a flattering tone and a shy smile.
Xiao Yuan couldn't help but shook his head in a funny way and said: "Master Jiang is interested, but having said that, when I was on the front line, I had already heard that Fengyang played a great role in this supply of food and grass. The victory of the battle was due to the contribution of the soldiers on the front line, and Mr. Jiang also played an indispensable role in the rear."
"Oops! Your Excellency is so complimentary, and your subordinates are extremely frightened..." Jiang Yi beamed with joy after being praised by Xiao Yuan. As he spoke, he stepped forward and took the reins of Xiao Yuan's horse.
When everyone saw this, they couldn't help but secretly said in their hearts: He is really good at flattering!
Jiang Yi was a man of some talent and foresight. He recognized that Xiao Yuan was a wise master, and he was so flattering because he undoubtedly wanted to be promoted.
There have always been no sycophants in official circles.
In this regard, Xiao Yuan did not say anything, but waved and said: "Enter the city!"
Jiang Yi quickly led the horse.
The officials stepped aside and followed him into the city.
The people cheered, and Xiao Yuan was slightly shocked as soon as he entered the city.
Today in Qinzhou, the streets are deserted by thousands of people, and every house is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations.
On both sides of the street, at a glance, there are people gathering everywhere, crowded.
