After being exiled, I led my whole family to rebel.

Xu Zhenying frowned slightly, looking at Zhang Wanjun's slightly disappointed look, but insisted: "Don't worry, this prince is only temporary. I can't spare anyone now. We have Zhang Wanjun, and we have you Jiang Yongkang. At least Let’s get through this month for the time being. Zhang Wanjun, I’m sorry, Jiang Yongkang is right. I’ll leave Liu Pan’er, Jiang Yongkang and you to discuss matters regarding Qianzhou Prefecture, and I’ll send my mother and sister to you next time. When it comes, the new prince will naturally take over."

Zhang Wanjun said quickly: "City Lord, I am really touched that you can give me this opportunity. Instructor Jiang is rightly concerned. I do lack the firepower in management."

"You don't need to belittle yourself. Being able to write such a plan has proven your ability. Although I have the intention to boldly recruit new people, I do have to consider more. I will leave the details of discussing with the natives to you, and wait for the new government. After you are in place, you will assist him in handling all the affairs of the Qianzhou Prefecture. You will practice in the position of deputy for a few more years, and you will have a time to shine in the future!"

Xu Zhenying patted Zhang Wanjun on the shoulder and encouraged her with a smile: "Don't worry, you are still young and have plenty of opportunities."

Zhang Wanjun was a little worried at first, but when she saw Xu Zhenying's gentle comfort, she quickly expressed her stance: "City Lord, you really make me feel ashamed. I will obey all your arrangements! I will definitely do my job well!"

Jiang Yongkang said: "Shortage of manpower is indeed a problem. Where is Fang Xun, where is Xu Yinxi? And Qian Zhenniang, the three of them are the oldest. It doesn't matter if any one of them comes. Of course, if we can invite It’s better to move Fang Lao.”

"Mr. Fang won't do anything for us, and we don't want to embarrass him. As for those people you mentioned, they have a lot of things in their hands and can't walk away."

"What about Ming Xiaoshuang?"

"I asked him, and he said he wanted to practice with me for two more years." Xu Zhenying looked at Jiang Yongkang with a smile, "You mentioned so many people, why did you leave out yourself? I remember that you are not without ambition. people."

Jiang Yongkang was stunned for a moment and then said: "I may be good at leading troops in war, but when it comes to management, I really don't have the patience. City Lord, I am still more willing to charge into battle and expand territory for you."

Xu Zhenying smiled and said: "Do you want to be a general?"

"I just think...it's more freeing to be a general."

"Okay, I understand." Xu Zhenying sighed, "But I have to take all the soldiers under your command back. The soldiers from Lan County will stay to change the guard."

Jiang Yongkang was puzzled, "City Lord, the brothers in the village have been with me for a long time, and I'm familiar with them, why don't I keep them here."

"To be honest, there are two reasons. One is that they have not undergone ideological remolding. It is difficult to guarantee their complete assimilation. I need to take them back for systematic training. The second reason is not directed at you personally. My subordinates The generals of all armies are like this. They will not stay in one place for a long time. Whether it is to prevent their subordinates from having too much power, to make the soldiers not only loyal to one general, or to let the soldiers work in different places. It’s good to grow faster under the generals, and with the rotation system, it’s not just you, but everyone will do the same.”

Jiang Yongkang was silent for a moment. Faced with Xu Zhenying's confession, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Since ancient times, kings have been the most ruthless.

On the contrary, he was even more afraid that Xu Zhenying was hiding and hiding her, but secretly cooking the cunning rabbit to death.

What he admires most is Xu Zhenying's frankness. He doesn't hide anything and will tell you straightforwardly no matter what the considerations are.

Jiang Yongkang smiled and said, "Okay."

Xu Zhenying took another look at Xiao Nan who was following him outside. The girl seemed to have a crush on Jiang Yongkang. No matter where Jiang Yongkang went these days, she would follow him wherever he went, serving tea and water with ease.

Think about it, Jiang Yongkang seems to be sixteen or seventeen years old.

Although the ancients talked about early marriage, they didn't get married at sixteen or seventeen.

She also wanted to make good use of Jiang Yongkang.

Love will only hinder the speed of swinging a knife!

So she thought for a moment, then reminded with a smile: "I think Miss Xiaonan seems to be interested in you. Although I shouldn't interfere in marriage matters, I personally suggest that you should marry later. Of course, I have no other intention, I just think you are still good enough." We are very young and still have a lot of experience. We are not yet halfway through starting a business, so we should spend more energy on our career.”

Jiang Yongkang was obviously stunned.

"Of course, this is just a personal opinion and is for your reference only."

Jiang Yongkang stared at Xu Zhenying blankly, as if he wanted to get a glimpse of her expression.

But Xu Zhenying's open expression made it difficult for Jiang Yongkang to predict. His voice was a little hoarse and his eyes were smiling, but he only said: "I understand."

"Okay, then I'll go back and pack my things first and leave in the afternoon. You can rest assured in Qianzhou Mansion and report anything as soon as possible."

Jiang Yongkang got off the car halfway.

After the man got out of the car, his smiling face suddenly turned gloomy.

Xiaonan immediately went up to him and handed him the handkerchief to wipe his sweat.

Jiang Yongkang's eyes fell on the snow-white veil, and then he raised his eyes.

His eyes were as elegant as the mist in the mountains, but full of cold and stern aura, "Xiaonan, I don't need you here, you can just follow Instructor Liu from now on."

Xiao Nan said with some panic: "Master, did I do something wrong?"

"No, it's just that Instructor Liu needs you more. After you go, just follow her and study hard."

Xiaonan looked confused. She felt uneasy, but couldn't express it. She could only stare at the man's back blankly.

The urging letters from Jinzhou Prefecture came over and over again, and if she didn't go back, Qian Zhenniang, who was even the best-tempered, might not be able to stand it anymore.

Xu Zhenying had no choice but to set off with a large force in the afternoon.

Halfway through, I received another reply from Xu Yinxi about "Brother Goudan". After opening it, Xu Zhenying couldn't help but laugh.

Ming Xiaoshuang saw that Xu Zhenying's smile was a bit strange, so he couldn't help but ask: "Is something going on in Jinzhou Mansion?"

Xu Zhenying said: "No, our people caught Xu Deyuan sending a letter to Bai Ci'en. I didn't know how to deal with it, so I hid Xu Deyuan's name and changed my name to Goudan. I wrote my concerns about this matter to the fourth sister and asked the fourth sister to I’ll give you an idea.”

Xu Zhenying spread his hands, and Ming Xiaoshuang stepped forward and vaguely saw the words "severe punishment, no tolerance" written on it.

Ming Xiaoshuang was shocked, a little unsure of how Xu Zhenying was going to deal with Xu Deyuan.

Although the emperor committed the same crime as the common people, after studying with Xu Zhenying for so long, Ming Xiaoshuang now knew that this sentence was just to coax the common people.

Even if the emperor breaks the law, the people will not know about it.

Isn't it easy to push one or two scapegoats out?

It's just that Xu Yinxi has always been thorough and rigorous in her work. Although Xu Deyuan was not mentioned in the city lord's letter, couldn't she guess who this person was. What would Xu Yinxi think if she reacted later?

Is it possible to ask her to admit that she personally sentenced her father to death?

Xu Zhenying spread the letter on the small table in the carriage, rubbed his temples, and said to Ming Xiaoshuang: "How about you tell me how I should deal with Xu Deyuan?"

Ming Xiaoshuang is self-aware.

No matter how good his relationship with Xu Zhenying was, he would not dare to comment on her housework.

Xu Zhenying said: "Tell me, I really didn't think of how to deal with him. If it were my idea, of course I would deal with him strictly in accordance with the law, or even kill him directly to silence him as the fourth sister said. But if I really deal with the second uncle , other people in the Xu family will inevitably think that I am ruthless and unkind, and they will be alienated from me. Now that we are not halfway through starting a business, I still need the help of the Xu family. Secondly, the Great Zhou Dynasty pays attention to filial piety first. If I kill My uncle, those truly talented people might not come to join me, Xu Zhenying, because of a little Xu Deyuan. For Xu Deyuan, I think the price is not worth it."

"But you want me to just let him go, and I can't pass my own test. The reason why I want to overthrow the rule of the Zhou Dynasty is because I want a fair and just society. However, I can't do it now. This will My ideals seem ridiculous."

Ming Xiaoshuang rarely heard Xu Zhenying say so many words. In his heart, Xu Zhenying was like a giant that would never fall. There was never any confusion, hesitation or uneasiness on her face.

But until this moment, when she saw Xu Zhenying's frown, Ming Xiaoshuang felt that Xu Zhenying had a little bit of fireworks.

"City Lord, the fair and just world you mentioned will come sooner or later. The emperor's crime and the common people's guilt can only be realized in the future with a sound legal system, not now. If you ask me for my opinion, I will only It can be said that putting Uncle Xu in prison will cost you the least. This will not only make Fourth Miss Xu loyal to you, but also make the second room remember you as a favor."

Xu Zhenying lowered her head and pondered, not sure whether she heard it or not. After a moment, she smiled and said, "I understand your opinion."

It seems that Xu Zhenying has returned to the strategizing person he used to be in an instant.

Ming Xiaoshuang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Does this count as saving Uncle Xu's life?

Xu Zhenying and his party ran wildly for about five or six days and finally arrived at Jinzhou Mansion.

It has to be said that Xu Yinxi and Qian Zhenniang are very good at comfort and reconstruction work. Even the door of Jinzhou Mansion has been opened, but there are no groups of people escaping.

When Xu Zhenying entered the city, he saw an orderly scene.

In a daze, it seemed that it didn't matter whether they occupied Jinzhou Mansion or who was the ruler of Jinzhou Mansion.

Ming Xiaoshuang even grabbed a commoner out of curiosity and asked, and the commoner said: "It doesn't matter whoever is the king! Anyway, the new king is from Lan County. He said he is good to the people, and he will give it back to the people." It’s about dividing the fields. It’s not worthwhile to leave now. What if the king comes back and really divides the fields for us, the people of Jinzhou Prefecture?”

His companion also said: "What's the point of running away? The people of Lan County have said that the mountain king never kills innocent people indiscriminately. And the first thing they do when they enter the city is to kill the corrupt officials and officials in the city." All the rich people who were unkind to their wealth were arrested. These people have been going in and out of rich people's homes all day long these days. They said that after the city lord comes back, they will share the rich people's money with us! If we leave now, wouldn't it be a loss? "

Xu Zhenying couldn't help but smile when he heard this.

Ming Xiaoshuang was also a little unbelievable, "Whoever came up with this idea is really a genius!"

Ming Xiaoshuang had been following Xu Zhenying, so he naturally knew that Xu Zhenying had never ordered the house to be searched.

But this method is really good. It divides the land with one hand and the money with the other. Although I haven't seen it yet, it at least appeases the people.

What's the point in conquering a city after all the hard work, but the people run away.

Xu Zhenying said: "It's probably my fourth sister's idea."

A group of people entered the door in a hurry.

Their team was huge, and many people in the city had been to Lan County to meet Xu Zhenying's people, and some residents of Lan County who had moved with them. Therefore, as soon as they entered the city, the people enthusiastically shouted: "City Lord ! City Lord! You are finally back!"

Listening to this enthusiastic voice, this should be someone who came here from Lan County.

The common people in Jinzhou Mansion seemed very nervous when they heard the word "city lord". They were about to kneel down in fear, but they were immediately pulled back by the strangers around them.

The man smiled kindly and said, "Our city lord hates people kneeling the most. The people of Lan County never need to kneel to him. Old man, please get up. Don't be afraid. Our city lord is the best person in the world——"

"That's right, look how scared you are. We, the city lord, are such handsome people! What's so scary!"

The people in Jinzhou Prefecture were not as bold as the people in Lan County. When they saw Xu Zhenying's carriage, they all retreated to the sides, hunched over and burying their heads to show respect.

But there were also those who were brave enough to look up at that person.

The legendary Lord of Lan County is actually so beautiful!

It looks like there is no distinction between male and female.

Xu Zhenying had bought winter melon candies for others when he entered the city. When he saw the children in the city, he handed them to a little girl with pink and jade carvings through the car curtain, "Here, here they are, take them and share them with the children." One point, don’t eat too much, it will damage your teeth.”

The little girl was extremely cute. When she saw the candy, she took it regardless of her parents' horrified looks and showed Xu Zhenying a two-toothed smile.

Xu Zhenying also touched her head.

The rest of the people stood there in fear. When Xu Zhenying walked away, the little girl's parents pulled her and taught her a lesson: "Oh my God, you are so brave, you rogue. You dare to take the candies from the Mountain King!" Come on, don't dare to do it next time! Be careful he turns into a monster and eats you!"

Yes, I succeeded in making the little girl cry.

At this moment, a large group of people were waiting at the entrance of the government office.

Miao and Xu Degui led the team, waiting with everyone from the Xu family and the core members of the Xu family's political team. They saw Ming Xiaoshuang's horse in the distance. Miao said happily: "Here we come, back!"

When they arrived at the place, Xu Zhenying got off the carriage.

Without waiting for everyone to greet them happily, Xu Zhenying glanced at him and ordered word by word: "Mo Jinchun and Ming Xiaoshuang obey the order. Now immediately capture all the people in the Xu family's second room, seal the yard of the Xu family's second room, and no one is allowed to enter or exit." !”

The two were stunned for a moment, but they reacted instantly.

Ming Xiaoshuang almost immediately drew the knife and pulled Xu Yinxi, Lian Shi, Aunt Chun and others out.

The crowd was instantly in chaos!

Qian Zhenniang was very puzzled and immediately said: "City Lord, what crime did Xu Yinxi commit, and why are they suddenly imprisoned!"
