Chapter 68
The visitor was a young man.

Tsing-clothed and white fur, with a fair face and a smile on the corner of his mouth, next to him were two young servants in Tsing-clothed bowing their heads, like shopkeepers who came to collect debts.

Wang Xuan's eyes moved slightly, "Who are you?"

The young man in Tsing Yi smiled and cupped his hands, "Mo family, Mo Huaixian."

Mo family?

Wang Xuan frowned slightly, the Bingzhou family was headed by the Xiao family, there were nine families in total, but he had never heard of the Mo family.

Mo Huaixian smiled lightly, "Brother Wang, why don't you sit down and talk in detail."

Wang Xuan nodded, "I'm being rude, Zhang Heng, make tea."

"Yes, my lord."

Zhang Heng picked up the teapot with a happy expression on his face. To be honest, just now Wang Xuan had made a plan to go to Great Yannan Jinsan to set up a flag and build a cottage, but he really didn't want to be a bandit unless it was absolutely necessary.

At this time, Guo Luquan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly narrowed his eyes, "Mo family, is it possible that Your Excellency is from the capital of God?"

gods...

Wang Xuan frowned slightly, is he from the royal family?

Seeing Wang Xuan's expression, Mo Huaixian smiled calmly and said: "You don't need to worry too much, Captain Wang, the Mo family is just a small family, because my uncle came from Shanhai Academy and worked in the household department of the court, so I was lucky enough to get a spot. "

"Yong'an County is located in a remote area, with Qinzhou in the north, trapped in the mountains. My Mo family has no ambitions. I just want to protect myself in this world of great conflict. Others don't like it, but it's just right for the family to establish itself."

As he said that, he took out a silk scroll from his bosom, "Lieutenant Wang has the talent to run an army. The Mo family first arrived in Bingzhou, and their foundation is weak, so they just depend on each other."

Wang Xuan picked it up and took a look, only to see a lot of clauses listed above, for example, the Mo family will move to Yong'an in the future, send disciples from the clan to join the army for training, and invest resources to strengthen the army. , the rest of the proceeds will be divided equally between the two...

Wang Xuan gradually frowned as he watched.

It's not that this treaty is harsh, but it's too good.

As far as he knew, some local school lieutenants were sheltered by the Dharma lineage family, and they were almost completely reduced to vassals, unable to control themselves, and this treaty was more like a cooperation between the two.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, and if a person is abnormal, there must be a knife.

Wang Xuan raised his vigilance in his heart, "Why?"

"Brother Wang is really cautious..."

Mo Huaixian hesitated for a moment, his lips moved slightly, others couldn't hear the words, but a voice came to Wang Xuan's ears: "Brother Wang, do you remember that in the wilderness, the Four Seas Inn was attacked by blood-robed bandits?"

"The shopkeeper, surnamed Mo..."

…………

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, it was cold and windy.

This day is also very particular. The common people put dough cakes at the base of the wall, or sprinkle peanuts in the shade, all of which are sacrifices to mice, and congratulate "the marriage of mice".

Rats are harmful, why sacrifices?

Because they cannot be eliminated, they can only coexist.

Amidst the bustle and bustle, revealing a trace of helplessness...

At this time, the atmosphere in the Yamen of the Zhenxie Army Mansion was solemn.

Bingzhou is mountainous, and there is not enough fish and rice. Excluding Kangyuan Prefecture, which occupies a vast plain, the remaining 36 counties are spread among the mountains of the whole prefecture, and the tax burden is almost at the end of the Great Yan Dynasty.

In the past, when reporting on their duties, the school captains from all over the country laughed and chatted with each other to cope with each other, and then they would go into groups to get drunk in wine shops, or spend a night in brothels.

But now, everyone stood with their heads down, and the atmosphere in the festival hall was dignified.

Standing at the end of the line, Wang Xuan glanced indifferently, and saw that the old festival hall had obviously been renovated, and what surprised him even more was that there were four more things beside the throne above the festival hall.

The demon tails are hung on both sides, supplemented by the tail feathers of spiritual birds, each with the words "Suppressing Evil" and "Fighting Bandits", and the evil spirit hovers on the bronze flagpole, majestic and solemn.

There are strings of copper talismans hanging from two huge green bamboos, and the bloody aura is flowing, as if there is an invisible sharp blade floating above the festival hall, which can beheaded and killed with a single order.

These are all evil weapons in the army, the flags are called Jing, and the ones with copper talismans are called festivals.

Double banners and double festivals, the banners are dedicated to rewards, and the festivals are dedicated to killing. This is the prestige unique to the military government of the first generation. It is unexpected that there is such a thing now. It is estimated that the prince brought it from the gods.

Suddenly, two ax wielders at the door raised their chests and raised their heads, shouting:
"The king of Bingzhou has arrived!"

"The governor of Bingzhou has arrived!"

"Suppressing evil government army to join the army record!"

"The Suppressing Evil Mansion Army is here with Commander Shi!"

"..."

Accompanied by a solemn shout, several people strode into the festival hall with their heads held high. All the school lieutenants clasped their fists in a military salute, watching them climb up the high hall anxiously.

Wang Xuan took a closer look, and saw the governor, Canjun and others standing beside him, while the prince sat down slowly with no expression on his face.

Captain Zhao had already told him yesterday that this prince was named Dugu Sheng, he used to serve in the Central Xiaocavalry Army, and later rested in Shendu. This time, he was suddenly named King of Bingzhou by Emperor Yan, and took charge of all affairs of Bingzhou.

The original governor Liu Changgeng was a student of the academy and had good relations with the family, but this time the prince came and handed over all the power immediately, obviously he knew a lot of inside stories.

Wang Xuan closed his eyes and bowed his head after taking a look. Both the prince and the governor are masters in refining Qi, and the royal family and the academy have extraordinary inheritances, which is obviously not as simple as it seems on the surface.

King Dugu Sheng of Bingzhou was tall, with a hale face, neat white beard and a sense of majesty. After sitting down, he didn't look at the people below, but shook his black python robe, nodded to the governor Liu Changgeng and said, "Let's begin!"

"Yes, my lord."

Liu Changgeng cupped his hands slightly, then looked aside, the military officer immediately took a step forward with a cold face, spread out his handkerchief with a snap, and said in a deep voice:

"Xuanyi County school lieutenant Zhou Feng, who opened a mine privately, corrupted and caused disaster, beheaded!"

"Li Guocheng, Lieutenant of Ningfeng County, colluded with the bandits to bring harm to one side, behead him!"

"Si Liming, Lieutenant of Tongyuan County, colluded with monsters and harmed the common people, beheaded!"

"Huaihua County Captain..."

With a loud shout, many people's expressions changed drastically.

"My lord, I am wronged!"

"I don't agree, it's the Wu family's business name!"

"I have taken refuge in the Taiyin Gate..."

However, what they faced were just pairs of indifferent eyes on the hall.

Wang Xuan sighed secretly in his heart, he remembered what Mo Huaixian said last night, the three-party communication may not be confirmed until the last moment, some dharma veins need to be beaten, some noble families need to be weakened, some school lieutenants need to be replaced, how can there be no sacrificial flag in the reform of the military government People, today's festival will inevitably flow into rivers of blood.

Sure enough, among the 36 captains, at least 13 were sentenced to death, and a group of murderous soldiers rushed into the festival hall, trying to force them to leave.

These people are as strong as Xiong Wei, their eyes are full of murderous intent, obviously they are the elites that Prince Dugu Sheng brought from the Central Army.

"Fuck your grandpa!"

"Mom, it's the other way around!"

The school lieutenants who were willing to arrest them all suddenly became violent.

The prince in the hall looked indifferently, took out the Suppressing Evil Army Tiger Talisman from his bosom, and snorted coldly, "Disturb the festival hall, behead!"

jingle jingle...

As soon as the words fell, a series of bronze talismans on the talisman festival began to sway left and right, the cold wind howled, and the murderous aura was soaring, and invisible sword lights fell from the top of the festival hall.

puff puff...

Without any ability to fight back, the captains who tried to resist were beheaded, and some even had their limbs flying, causing blood to flow in the hall for a while.

Those fierce soldiers clasped their fists and left, the bloody smell in the festival hall was horrifyingly quiet.

Wang Xuan's expression was indifferent, and his clenched fists were slowly loosened.

In front, Shanyin Captain Meng Xiong's legs were trembling, and his crotch was wet...

Inspector Liu Changgeng didn't seem to see the tragedy below, so he spread out a silk book and read aloud: "The mystic art is stolen, the barbarians invade the north, the Jin Dynasty peeps at the south, and the evil spirits and demons make trouble inside. The military government is restructured, and the land reclamation order is used to revitalize one side..."

There are a lot of long-winded words, but there are only two core points.

The royal family loosened the restrictions, and the military governments of various regions have since become independent financially. They have entered the surrounding barren mountains and rivers to open up wasteland.

The military government has the responsibility to suppress one party. If there is a monster causing chaos and causing people to be displaced, the commander of the army will be punished with death. The military commanders of each government will be appointed by the royal family.

Wang Xuan knew that this was just a cliché on the surface, and secretly the various forces had already determined the division of interests, and they were just banners on the surface.

Perhaps, it is also a scapegoat.

After some reading, two things were issued: the tiger charm and the land reclamation order.

In the end, Dugu Sheng, the King of Bingzhou who had been silent all this time, finally raised his eyelids slightly, and said indifferently: "Everyone, there are some things that need not be said, but there are some things that I must say. How to go, everyone, take care of yourself in the future!"

There was a great chaos, and the military report was over.

After getting out of the door, I found that the sky had not known when there was fine snow, and the cloud was low. All the school captains looked at each other, as if they had passed away.

Wang Xuan looked at the Tiger Talisman and Land Reclamation Order in his hand, then tightened his grip tightly.

Today's feeling is really bad, he never wants to hand over his fate to anyone...
