Chapter 339 Suppressing Bandits
When Su Xipo took Yan Yi to the county government office, the county magistrate went out to greet him.

"Teacher." Magistrate Nie's attitude towards Su Xipo was very respectful.

Su Xipo waved his hand: "I have told you so many times, you are now a parent official and you cannot salute me anymore."

"No, once I am a teacher, I will always be a teacher. Without you, I, Nie Xiaolu, would not be where I am today."

Su Xipo drank tea and knocked on the table: "Let's not talk about this for now. I have something to discuss with you today. You need to think about it carefully."

"Sir, please tell me. As long as I can help, I, Nie Xiaolu, will never refuse."

Su Xipo laughed and said: "It's not that I'm doing you a favor, but I have a great achievement that I want to give to you, but I don't know if you have the guts to eat it."

Officials in the Daxing Dynasty had an assessment system. Based on the comprehensive scores, many officials with no merits or demerits could stay in office, while those with faults would be demoted. To be promoted, one needed to have political achievements.

But it would be good if everyone can guarantee to stay in office. If you want political achievements, it is hard to come by.

Originally, Magistrate Nie's three-year term had expired and he was working conscientiously for the people in Shilu County. Although he did not make any mistakes, he did not make any great achievements. Those smaller achievements will also be suppressed by the above.

However, the method Yan Yi proposed last time was to bring down food prices and save the people from disaster. Because there were many uncertainties, he was the one who withstood all the pressure and pushed it hard.

This is a huge achievement. He feels that he can wake up laughing even when he sleeps. He can definitely choose a wealthy county to take office.

If he achieves another great feat, his promotion will be almost certain.

When people go to higher places, even if they feel the breeze in their sleeves, who would want to be stuck in one place?
Besides, the greater the power, the greater the ability, and the more things can be done for the people.

In an instant, Nie Xiaolu figured out that he must take advantage of the achievement Su Xipo mentioned: "What kind of great achievement is it?"

"Suppress the bandits." Su Xipo said calmly.

Nie Xiaolu's heart was filled with waves.

Suppress bandits?

Did he hear it correctly?
Su Xipo nodded: "Yes, it is to suppress bandits!"

Nie Xiaolu almost lost his mind:

"Sir, do you mean to suppress bandits? But you also know our actual situation. Bandits often cause chaos, and students have long been determined to get rid of them. However, it is located in a remote area with complex terrain, and the number and distribution of the bandits are not yet clear."

Nie Xiaolu didn't say anything yet, but I believe Su Xipo could also think of it.

He had also thought about suppressing bandits before, but those bandits seemed to smell the fishy smell and were always one step ahead of him in using the empty city strategy.

Nie Xiaolu had always felt that there was a traitor in their county government office, but he couldn't find out who it was for a while, so the task of suppressing the bandits was shelved.

Su Xipo interrupted him: "Don't think about this, just say whether you dare or not."

Nie Xiaolu gritted his teeth: "Sir, I dare."

"Okay!" Su Xipo then asked Yan Yi to draw various materials related to the suppression of bandits for Nie Xiaolu.

Nie Xiaolu clicked his tongue in amazement: "This little brother is so capable. How do you know the gangster's den so clearly? May I ask your name?"

"Yan Yi."

"What? Yan Yi? Are you the Yan Yi who came up with the idea to regulate food prices?"

Yan Yi continued to work with his head down: "Well, it's me."

Nie Xiaolu almost jumped three feet high.

Yan Yi is simply his lucky star.

Nie Xiaolu was so happy that when he looked at Yan Yi, he felt like he was surrounded by golden light.

Within a few words, Nie Xiaolu began to call Yan Yi brothers.

Before Yan Yi finished drawing, Nie Xiaolu made various arrangements. When dispatching troops and generals, it still depends on Nie Xiaolu.

After Yan Yi finished the drawings, he had people put them on the sand table. He and Nie Xiaolu discussed where to attack and where to defend.

How many people are placed at each fortress point.

After this communication, Nie Xiaolu simply regarded Yan Yi as a god.

He is knowledgeable and courageous, this is Nie Xiaolu's objective evaluation of Yan Yi.

Because Shilu County had helped neighboring counties with food issues, and their evaluations had changed from demerit to merit due to this incident, everyone felt they owed Nie Xiaolu a favor.

So as soon as Nie Xiaolu opened his mouth, the neighboring counties sent their elite teams to help Shilu County.

Nie Xiaolu simply accepted Yan Yi's fate as the commander-in-chief of the bandit suppression. Once this happened, it would be of great benefit to Yan Yi.

The preparations were very thorough, and everything was under the control of Yan Yi, which effectively separated Master Liu. Therefore, this time, none of the bandits escaped.

"Brothers, charge!" Yan Yi raised his sword and asked Fang Qiu in a scolding manner.

"Kill~"

"Chong~"

"on!"

For a moment, screams, begging for mercy, and fighting echoed around.

The bandits showed their ferocity and were fighting with the officials, trying to fight their way out.

The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the blood-stained soil, adding a touch of desolation and ghostliness.

Because Yan Yi had made full preparations and calculated with intention and unintentional, the bandits were retreating steadily even though they were fierce, and after a short time, they were completely defeated.

And Li Qi's housekeeper, because he came here to communicate with the bandits, was also treated as a bandit, killed together, and died in the bandit's den.

The bandit leader was captured alive, and he was unlucky. Yan Yi slapped him on the back of the head with a shovel, knocking him unconscious. When he woke up, he was already wrapped in hemp rope and thrown aside.

Seeing that the situation was over, he stopped making unnecessary resistance.

The remaining defeated generals were also captured by Yan Yi and brought back together.

During this crackdown on bandits, only a dozen people sent by the government were injured to varying degrees, and no one died.

On the other hand, the bandits were always dead, injured, and captured alive.

This game can be described as a complete victory.

Nie Xiaolu gave everyone who participated in the suppression of bandits an additional month's salary. Everyone was in high spirits, and the entire county government exuded a fighting spirit that had not been seen for a long time.

And after this incident, they also had a sincere belief in Yan Yi from the inside out.

This scholar not only has a good mind, he is also good at fighting. Yan Yi has become a role model for almost all officials in Shilu County.

When Yan Yi led his people back in triumph, Li Qi, Xie Sanxie and his party were also escorted back by the officers.

He looked around and saw no sign of Su Mo, so he knew that Su Mo had other things to deal with.

Think about it, if the shopkeeper of Ruyi Building is taken away, even if the loss is minimized, someone still needs to be in charge of Ruyi Building to handle various follow-up matters.

Yan Yi knew everything, but he still felt a little bit unnoticeably disappointed because he couldn't see his wife.

After just such a short period of time, he missed Su Mo's thoughts.

Nie Xiaolu worked very quickly. As soon as Xie Sanxie and Li Qi arrived, he opened the trial to the public and went to court for questioning.
