My clone is on the other side of the starry sky

Chapter 108
"Capital, kill!" It was already evening in Shangyang County, and the gate of the prefect's mansion was crowded with a large number of people. Many of them came to report the Guiyi Sect's military robbery. To be fair, several leaders gathered around Yang Chong, with fierce murderous intent flashing in their eyes.

After fighting for so long, this was the first time they felt so aggrieved. They were surrounded by a group of common people and laid up unfounded charges. How many days had they been here?Are there people grabbing land, food, and women?

How many people did they come?Even if everyone did nothing and went door to door to harm the people, there wouldn't be so much trouble.

However, these people also said what they said was reasonable and well-founded, as if it really happened.

Yang Chong's eyes were gloomy, he shook his head and said, "Have you forgotten the rules of the commander-in-chief?"

Lu Xuan's rule is not to attack the common people. Yang Chong is considered to be the group of people who have been with Lu Xuan for the longest time, and this concept is engraved in his bones.

"But they..." Several leaders looked aggrieved.

Yang Chong felt aggrieved, but he had never dealt with this kind of thing before. Listening to the people who were chattering non-stop, he felt like his head was about to explode.

"Get out of the way!" Just when Yang Chong had a headache, the sound of horse hooves came, and a group of people rushed towards this side from the end of the street like a strong wind. The leader was the dusty Lu Xuan.

"Brother!" Yang Chong was pleasantly surprised. He didn't expect Lu Xuan to come so soon.

"Well!" Lu Xuan turned over and dismounted, threw the riding whip to a guard, ignored Yang Chong, glanced at the people gathered around him, and said with a smile: "Do you still remember me? My name is Lu Xuan, I came here before Pass."

"Director Lu, you have to make the decision for us!"

"We trust your character, but your subordinates don't care about others!"

"Okay, okay!" Lu Xuan pressed his hands down and said, "Don't worry, everyone. I'm here this time just for this matter. Don't worry, I will give the people justice. In this way, it's already late today, and I will give you justice tomorrow." Please solve everything. If the matter is not solved by the day after tomorrow, don’t worry, we will withdraw from Shangyang County immediately, how about it?"

"Director Lu, you don't want to protect your men, do you?" A tall and thin man said loudly.

Lu Xuan looked at him and asked with a smile: "What's your name?"

"What? Do Commander Lu want to retaliate against me? I'm not afraid. My name is Hu Wan. I'm here today just to seek justice. You Guiyi Cult keep saying that you make decisions for the people, but after entering the city, you burn, kill and loot. This Aren't you bullying the honest people!?" Hu Wan frowned and said loudly: "My family's matter must be resolved today, otherwise I will crash to death here, and I will never compromise with your Guiyi Sect!"

"Okay, I'll take care of it for you!" Lu Xuan looked at him, waved his hand and said, "Bring him here."

"Yes!"

Two personal guards stepped forward and brought Hu Wan over.

"Director Lu, I..."

"Stop talking yet, turn around!" Lu Xuan waved his hand to signal him to be quiet.

Hu Wan didn't understand what Lu Xuan meant, but he turned around anyway, mainly because there were two powerful rebels on his side, and he couldn't do it without turning.

"Make him kneel!"

"What are you going to do!?" Hu Wan was a little panicked and wanted to struggle, but the two rebels wouldn't talk nonsense to him and kicked him directly in the knee socket to make him kneel down.

"Old Yang, lend me your sword!" Lu Xuan waved to Yang Chong.

Upon hearing this, Yang Chong subconsciously drew his sword and handed it to Lu Xuan.

"What are you doing!?" Hu Wan panicked, kneeling on the ground and turned to look at Lu Xuan.

"Kid, don't look at it!" Lu Xuan slapped his face.

"Commander Commander, I won't sue!" Hu Wan's face paled instantly. No one answered. He said in a panic: "It was the head of the Bai family who gave me 30 taels of silver and asked me to frame the rebels. I don't dare to do it anymore. , Commander-in-Chief, spare your life, spare your life!"

"Pfft~"

What answered him was a flash of sword light, and the human head rolled down into the crowd, blood splattered all over.

"As I said just now, everyone is waiting for the news tomorrow. If you really can't wait, please stay and I will help you solve it one by one. Those who are willing to wait can go back now!" Lu Xuan handed the knife back to Yang Chong with a smile. He looked at the crowd with terrified faces.

Stay and wait to be beheaded?The crowd gathered in front of the gate of the prefect's mansion dispersed in an instant, leaving only Hu Wan's dead-eyed head gradually cooling in the cold wind.

"Brother, I..." Yang Chong followed Lu Xuan back to the house and looked at Lu Xuan with a guilty look on his face.

"From now on, we are all people who have to take charge of their own affairs. When encountering things, we must clearly assess the severity. We do not harm the people. This is true, but we must be clear that the people are the easiest to be fooled. Just like there were many like Hu Wan just now, A dozen or so people can gather a group of good people to cause trouble. Have you forgotten how I instigated the people before?" Lu Xuan sat down, without getting angry, and looked at his men and said.

"This matter is not here at all. You are the one who makes the decision in Shangyangcheng now. Jump down and argue with these people about something. The more you argue, the more unclear it becomes. Once the problem is fundamentally solved, these trivial matters will naturally be gone! Lu Xuan waved his hand and said: "Now, I will teach you what to do if you encounter this kind of thing. I will only do it once. Watch it carefully and learn it hard!"

"Yes, brother!" The three of them cheered up and said in unison.

"San Dao, send people to guard the four gates. No one can enter or leave before sunset tomorrow!" Lu Xuan looked at San Dao and said.

"Yes!" San Dao nodded in agreement.

"Ergou, we counted the big and wealthy households in the city last time. If you go door to door to invite them, it means I will hold a banquet here tomorrow and ask them to show their respect. Remember, be as polite as you can be! "Lu Xuan looked at Ergou and said.

"Yes!" Ergou understood, turned and left.

"Old Yang, please take stock of your troops and have a good rest tonight. We will mobilize the troops tomorrow." Lu Xuan looked at Yang Chong and said.

"Move troops?" Yang Chong was puzzled.

"Well, this place is different from Sanyang. Sanyang has been sorted out by me several times. Those big households have long been afraid. Even if I am not here, they don't dare to mess around. But it is different here. Firstly, there are too many big households. Secondly, They don’t know my methods and think that relying on the tactics I used to deal with the officialdom will work for me, so if they want them to recognize the reality, they have to use troops. From now on, when you are guarding one side, you must be clear. If the big ones use it, they will win the hearts of the people!" Lu Xuan looked at it Looking at Yang Chong, he said: "The hearts of the people are our strength. You will understand this after I ask the Heavenly Master for instructions and canonize you!"

The capital's luck distribution is too little. Although it can be felt, it is not strong. Once you reach the position of commander-in-chief, you can clearly feel the benefits of people's support and luck.

"Brother, I don't understand this kind of governance." Yang Chong said with a bitter smile.

"As long as someone understands, what you have to do is to put a knife on the neck of someone who understands. As for how to judge whether he has framed you, you will understand when you become the commander-in-chief!" Lu Xuan looked at Yang Chong and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry too much about these things. It's enough to practice your martial arts well and understand the art of war thoroughly. The skills I found in Zhou Ji's Mansion last time are directly directed to the Wuliu realm. It's enough for you now. Come on, don’t worry about these troublesome things, in the future you will still have to rely on your true ability to fight!"

"There's more!" Lu Xuan frowned and looked at Yang Chong: "It's not a bad thing to have kindness in your heart. After all, we don't want to be beasts. It's a good thing that you pity the people, but the knife in your hand must be hard. Today's matter How easy is it to solve? You actually let people get hold of you so easily. Are you going to investigate the case and clear your name?"

"This..." Yang Chong smiled bitterly and nodded, he really thought so.

"What the people need is never the truth, but emotions, just like that Hu Wan. If you think about it carefully, you will know that you can't do that thing. But if Hu Wan coaxes you, won't it just come over? You are right to love the people, but Don't listen to the so-called public opinion. It's too easy to control this thing! You have to listen to the people when it comes to governance, and you can't do anything!"

"Understood!" Yang Chong nodded. Today's experience left a deep impression on him.

……

"What's going on with Lu Xuan? Who would send invitations at night? Untouchables are untouchables, they don't understand any rules!" Cui Yuan, who is over sixty years old in the Cui Mansion, looked at the invitation in his hand and frowned. Displeasure was written on his face.

If the person who came to deliver the invitation had not been so respectful that he had the illusion that the other party was his servant, he would have scolded the other party!

"The master just ignores him. He dares not provoke the Cui family even if he wants to come to a mere stupid thief." Cui Yuan's wife helped Cui Yuan serve a cup of tea. This man is old and has poor sleep. He was woken up in the middle of the night. It was hard to fall asleep again.

"I still have to go." Cui Yuan hesitated and sighed.

"Why?" The wife asked in confusion. Didn't she look down on her?
"The situation has changed. Sun Fang and Bai Xingchang were killed in the battle, and even the masters sent by the Jiang family were killed. Now Lu Xuan has the final say in Shangyang County. This poor man swindles his wealth. The most important thing is his face. This If you don't give me any face, just watch, then Lu Xuan will definitely find trouble, if you don't agree with Wa Bang, let's follow him for the time being." Cui Yuan said with emotion.

"My husband said this, then Lu Xuan is quite talented! So this time, my husband did not participate in the Jiang family's affairs?" The wife sat down and said a little surprised.

"Well, last time 800 people entered Shangyang City and destroyed all the green energy protecting the city. This person is at least a general, but his vision is too shallow. Maybe even my Cui family doesn't know about it. What I'm most afraid of is This kind of stupid young man who doesn't know the heights of the world and has some abilities doesn't have any important things to do, so we still give him some mercy." Cui Yuan shook his head.

At the same time, all the wealthy and famous people in Shangyang received invitations from Lu Xuan. Their attitudes varied. Some were polite, while others were disdainful. Anyway, Ergou's etiquette was complete. As for whether to go to the banquet tomorrow, Lu Xuan had no hard requirements, so Ergou naturally ignored him. After all the invitations were delivered, he went back to find Lu Xuan.

"Brother, everything has been delivered, but no one said they would definitely come. It's hard to determine the number of people. How many dishes should we prepare?" Ergou looked at Lu Xuandao.

"Just prepare some tea. They probably won't have much thought about eating tomorrow!" Lu Xuan said casually.

When Lu Xuan said this, Ergou understood immediately, turned around and left...
