The road to Jianghu started from the martial arts hall

Chapter 225 Three things to do when a new official takes office

Dong Yunchuan had a cold attitude. After saying one sentence, he stopped talking and ignored other people. He walked straight towards the city gate, and the middle-aged man behind him followed closely.

The crowd quickly made way for them and did not dare to stop them. They just watched them enter the city.

Everyone was silent, leaving only the heart-wrenching cries of a group of thieves.

Sun Donglai's face turned blue and white, and it took him a long time to take his soldiers to arrest the bandits.

Most of the others looked at each other, and soon they all went into the city in silence.

"This Lord Dong, you are here with bad intentions."

When there were fewer and fewer people around, Yu Jiaolong sighed helplessly, and Sun Donglai beside her also had an extremely ugly expression on his face.

"Is he coming with bad intentions? No, he is just trying to show his power to us, especially General Sun, as a new official."

Fang Xun watched as the thieves and bandits were taken into the city by the black-armored soldiers with an indifferent look in his eyes.

"If Dong Yunchuan really wanted to attack General Sun, he would have taken him down with lightning speed, leaving no room for maneuver.

It won't be like what happened just now, where he just openly scolded General Sun and embarrassed him. It was just a lot of noise but little action, and he just wanted to teach General Sun a lesson."

Yu Jiaolong seemed to be thinking about something after hearing this, while Sun Donglai's face became even darker.

In the Corridor Mountains, countless bandits and pirates hide there.

The reason why so many bandits hid there was due to the rugged terrain that was easy to defend but difficult to attack, and also because of the indulgence of Sun Donglai, the marching commander.

No matter how rugged the terrain is, as long as the state army is determined and works hard, they can clear one village after another, and the Corridor Mountains will be cleared in a year at most.

Sun Donglai would only organize the troops from various prefectures and counties in Jiangzhou to go into the mountains to suppress the bandits every three or four years, but he would not kill them all.

This not only ensures that the combined strength of the bandits in the mountains will not exceed their control, but also gilds the military generals.

Otherwise, if all the bandits in the mountains were wiped out, where would these soldiers go to earn merits?

It's not just Jiangzhou, the armies of almost every state in the Central Plains have similar unspoken rules.

It’s just that this time Jiangzhou happened to run into Blackwater Abyss making big news in the Corridor Mountains.

Sun Donglai felt depressed after being scolded by Dong Yunchuan, but he could only consider himself unlucky and swallow the bitter fruit silently, not daring to even say a word in rebuttal.

"Let's go back to the city. I just hope that Mr. Dong is really here to govern Jiangzhou and has no other intentions. We can't stand this constant turmoil."

Yu Jiaolong sighed and walked towards the city gate. Fang Xun and Sun Donglai looked at each other and followed her back to the city with their men.

At the city gate, teams of soldiers escorted thousands of bandits into the city.

The huge team attracted the attention of hundreds of people in the city.

On the way, Fang Xun and others looked at these green forest bandits in silence.

These bandits did not have any injuries, nor were they held hostage by Dong Yunchuan, but no one dared to resist. They were obediently escorted into the city by the soldiers. Apart from crying and begging for mercy, they did not even dare to complain.

Dong Yunchuan did not lie, he was just wandering around the Corridor Mountains with only one follower by his side.

Wherever the two men passed, there were thousands of bandits, including dozens of smart fighters. They didn't even dare to think of resisting and just surrendered obediently. This is the power of Grandmaster Yangshen!

For a moment, the joy that Fang Xun and Yu Jiaolong had just felt when they broke through the divine will disappeared. After seeing the methods of Dong Yunchuan and the others, they suddenly felt that they were still far behind.

'It's not the worst case scenario. The Master has not locked onto my true identity. He only knows that the Ghost-Faced Man is from Jiangzhou. That's why the Academy of Scholars sent a great Yangshen scholar to Jiangzhou. This is just on the surface. I don't know how many eyes are secretly searching for the Ghost-Faced Man.

Haha, I have stirred up a hornet's nest.'

Although Dong Yunchuan only said one sentence and went into the city, there was not much communication.

But Fang Xun became more and more certain that his intuition was correct. The other party was coming for the Ghost-Faced Man, but he just didn't know that he was the Ghost-Faced Man.

This also made him realize that all the scholars in the academy, no, it should be said that the entire Confucianism, wanted to kill him!
The city of Jinling seemed to become lively all of a sudden.

A large number of officials and wealthy people were leaving and entering the city in a mighty manner, and thousands of bandits were escorted by soldiers. For a while, the streets became a little crowded.

More people came to watch the fun.

"Master Dong has ordered that strangers and others should not clog the streets."

At this time, a group of yamen runners from the government office also walked onto the long street to maintain order on the street which had become somewhat noisy.

At this time, a team of yamen runners suddenly walked up to Fang Xun and his group. Seeing that Yu Jiaolong and Sun Donglai were there, they breathed a sigh of relief.

"Master Yu, Master Sun, Magistrate Dong invites you to go to the state government office to discuss matters."

"In that case, we will go immediately."

Yu Jiaolong and Sun Donglai looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

"Fang Xun, you three have been working hard these days. Go back home and rest first. We can talk tomorrow if there is anything else."

Fang Xun nodded, took Dongfang Que and Yan Ming to say goodbye to everyone, and then returned to his home.

I haven't been home for more than half a month, and the Sixingtang mansion feels a little quieter.

After entering the mansion, Fang Xun saw that there were fewer disciples of the Four Forms Hall living in the mansion, but looking at the remaining disciples, they all had relatively good qualifications.

Qiu Feng and his group from Lijian Pavilion were not seen either, but there were some more servants.

They had not walked far when they met Duan Mingfu, Yu Daoren and Bai Wufeng who came to greet them.

"Master, you are finally back."

Fang Xun nodded: "Tell me about the changes in the Four Form Hall these days."

"These days, everything has been on track. With disciples from all over the country coming to Jinling City, I thought it would not be appropriate to keep them in the mansion forever, so I bought a few properties in the city."

The group talked as they walked towards the attic deep in the mansion, and Duan Mingfu also told Fang Xun about the development of the Sixing Hall in recent times.

In general, since the Tianshi sandalwood business in cooperation with Old Man Mo got on track, the financial situation of Sixingtang has been greatly alleviated, allowing Duan Mingfu to have spare money to invest in other industries.

Just as a group of wealthy families headed by Liu Xinyuan were arrested, there were many properties in Jinling City that could be acquired at low prices.

Duan Mingfu took advantage of the relationship between Fang Xun and Old Man Mo to get some of these cakes, and his business flourished.

Among them were several sealed-off martial arts gyms at the west dock of the city, which were bought by Duan Mingfu at a low price and used as places to house ordinary disciples.

The mansion will temporarily serve as the headquarters of the headquarters, and only some disciples with better qualifications and middle-level deacons will be retained.

After talking for a while, Duan Mingfu seemed to remember something and said, "Oh, Master, Senior Mo has achieved a breakthrough to the Yang God!"
