"This is……?"

Looking at the invitation in front of him, Qiu Yan narrowed his eyes. . twenty three

Huang Yan took a deep breath, and then replied with an upright face: "Hero post!"

"Oh? Hero post?" Qiu Yan repeated the name with a weird smile, "What kind of hero?"

"Of course he is a hero in the world!" Huang Yan showed no timidity when facing Qiu Yan, "Our Tiangang Disha Village has sent hero posts to heroes from all over the world, asking them to jointly resist the invasion of the imperial army."

Qiu Yan shook his head, with a look of disappointment on his face, and said, "It turns out that the heroes are just reckless. I thought the heroes you were talking about were the powerful soldiers who defended the country, defended the country from outside, and kept the common people safe inside!"

Huang Yan sneered: "The imperial officers and soldiers only rely on force to bully the weak. They are not heroes. They are just lackeys of powerful people like you!"

"Bold madman!" Upon seeing this, Yu Siyan stood up and shouted angrily!

However, without Qiu Yan's orders, he did not dare to take down this person on his own initiative.

Huang Yan heard the words, followed the sound, and immediately sneered: "Master Yu, you have such great official authority! It's just that others are afraid of you as a corrupt official, but I am not afraid! Besides, when I am talking to Mr. Hou, do you have room to interrupt? Still? Don’t retreat!”

As soon as he said this, Yu Siyan, the dignified magistrate, turned livid with anger. He advocated one side. Although you must abide by your duty and act humble when facing your superiors, there are also rules in the officialdom, that is, Shangguan You can't humiliate others like this, not to mention there are many people around. How can you get off the stage?

But just as the other party said, with Qiu Yan here, even if he was dissatisfied, he could not get past Qiu Yan.

Huang Yan naturally knew this, so he refuted Yu Siyan, then looked back and looked at Qiu Yan. He handed over the invitation in his hand and said: "I hope that Marquis Dingguo will accept the invitation. In five days, at the junction of Qilu and Hebei Province, it will be the day of the Heroes Conference. If you can persuade My brother, everyone in our village, will naturally surrender with peace of mind, otherwise..."

Qiu Yan did not accept the invitation, but just asked: "With your knowledge and strategy, you should also be a think tank in the Tiangang Disha stronghold, managing many things in the stronghold, formulating order and regulations, and calming the hearts of the people. But if it is that stronghold, The warriors in the army do not regard these as achievements and oppose your promotion. What do you think?"

"Huh?" Huang Yan didn't expect Qiu Yan to ask this question suddenly, which suddenly hit his heart.

To know. Everyone in that village claimed to be descended from the stars in the world, and took the name of Tiangang Earth Demon. Most of them were extremely brave people. During these years, I have been robbing homes and houses at the foot of the mountain, doing business without capital, and regard it as an honor.

In comparison, the people responsible for logistics and management of the village are not so outstanding. Huang Yan is often looked down upon by others, but even though he can make suggestions, Huang Yan is respected by some warriors. However, the truly powerful people only superficially respected him, but it was not difficult to see contempt and disapproval from their words and eyes.

On the opposite side, Qiu Yan didn't need Huang Yan to answer, he knew the result and continued: "When you govern a village, you know it's not easy. You should also understand the responsibilities on your shoulders and work hard. It's no less than showing off your power outside. And I, the magistrate. Managing a government can ensure the well-being of the people, and his achievements are no less than yours. How can you despise him? Don’t you know that you shouldn’t do to others what you don’t want others to do to you?”

After saying this, Huang Yan and Yu Siyan were both stunned. The former's face became more and more ugly, while Yu Siyan showed a hint of gratitude. In any case, there were many subordinates present today. Qiu Yan did this and said this. , not only reflects the importance he attaches to himself, but also maintains his image as a prefect.

On the other side, Qiu Yan nodded slightly, his eyes fell on the invitation card in Huang Yan's hand again, he reached out to take it, and then asked: "Since you are going to accept recruitment, why do you need to come to such a hero meeting again? You are like this Is this action to gather stragglers from the rivers and lakes to fight against the imperial army? Or is it to threaten the imperial court by hijacking the will of the people? "

"These are all your guesses, Lord Marquis," Huang Yan calmed down and his expression improved slightly, "But the imperial army is pressing down on the border, and the heroes in the world can't stand it. If they want to come over and help, I can't stop them. I can only Use the method of this hero meeting to restrain it a little."

"Oh? Are heroes so hostile to the imperial court?" Qiu Yan's face remained calm.

Huang Yan sneered: "The corrupt officials in the court are rampant and oppress the good all day long. Of course we and other heroes can't look at it!"

"I see," Qiu Yan nodded, and then asked, "In your opinion, if you were in charge, how would you deal with corrupt officials?"

"This..." Huang Yan was stunned by this question, and then calmed down, but did not respond.

Qiu Yan didn't take it seriously, but continued: "I guess you don't have a specific plan yet. After all, this matter is not your main conflict at this stage. There is no need to spend too much energy thinking about it, otherwise it will be too ambitious. But now that you have said the word "recruitment", you may actually accept it in the future. At that time, you are thinking that it is a bit late. At least you need to think about how to prevent yourself from becoming a corrupt official. "

These words were quite abrupt, and Huang Yan didn't know how to respond, because he knew very well that everyone in the village actually wanted to use this method to delay time and exchange time for space. As for the Heroes Conference, Be it other measures, they are all just tools and methods to achieve their goals. Even the major families who have cooperative relationships with them have not seen through the real goal of Shanzhai.

Under this situation, it seems quite redundant to talk about what to do after being recruited.

Qiu Yan didn't say much. After saying this, he added: "However, when you handed this invitation to me, you revealed that you wanted to delay the time. You must have a back-up plan, so you are not afraid of Qiu." Just turn around and leave?”

"It may not be a good idea for the Marquis to return to the capital now." When Huang Yan heard this, there was no trace of anger on his face, and he looked confident, as if he had the chips and trump cards that Qiu Yan didn't know about. .

Unexpectedly, this expression froze on his face the next moment.

Qiu Yan took out a few letters from his sleeves and asked, "You said it is inconvenient for Qiu to return to Beijing at this time, but because of these letters?" After saying this, he sprinkled the letters forward, hit Huang Yan's body, and then fell On the ground.

"Imitate Qiu's notes, pretend to be vague, and use Qiu's tone to let these forces wait and see what is going to happen in the capital, but not speak clearly. This move leaves people with room for wild imagination. No matter what happens in the capital, these letters will eventually be used to accuse Qiu."

Listening to Qiu Yan's words, Huang Yan stared at the letters, but his thoughts were spinning rapidly.

He knew that in the early stage of the layout, although he had attached great importance to the Marquis Dingguo in front of him, he still inevitably misestimated the opponent's ability, so that he was now passive.

These letters were written by the skilled craftsmen recruited by the Gang Disha thieves. They spent a lot of effort to imitate Qiu Yan's notes and wrote several letters. Huang Yan took most of them with him when he left the village. , only two letters were left in the village.

The purpose of these letters is to facilitate the convict of Qiu Yan in the future, but to make things watertight, it is necessary to have the cooperation of the capital, and to take advantage of the opportunity of Qiu Yandong's arrival, so that he has enough "time" to write and write it all Once it was sent, it was not noticed by the people in the Imperial City Department.

Therefore, coming to the east is undoubtedly the best choice when recruiting people. Similarly, once Qiu Yan leaves the capital, it means that the current upward force is temporarily lurking, which greatly increases the influence of other forces in the capital, thus making Things that are difficult to do on a daily basis.

At this time, Qiu Yan's voice came again——

"If Qiu's prediction is correct, something must have happened in the capital now," Qiu Yan's eyes flashed with a sharp look, "However, you are still unable to deal with the officers and soldiers, let alone extend your tentacles into Beijing, so it is indeed your allies who took action in this matter."

The information revealed by this simple sentence made Huang Yan feel horrified, realizing that the plan of himself and others had been completely understood by the people in front of him.

"Since this person has seen our plan, why did he come as requested? Does he have other purposes?"

As soon as he thought of this, Huang Yan immediately became vigilant and realized the danger contained in this. But before he could speak again, Qiu Yan had already ordered two guards to come over and catch him, and then ordered Yu Siyan to let him take this. Huang Yan was escorted back to Beijing.

Yu Siyan already hated Huang Yan so much that he didn't need Qiu Yan to say anything to have Huang Yan taken down.

"Marquis Dingguo! If you treat me like this, how can we submit? It will be too late to regret it!" How could Huang Yan be willing to be captured? This was not in line with his original plan, he shouted to himself.

Qiu Yan ignored it and said: "These merchants have been arrested for collaborating with the enemy and treason!"

Old Man Lu, who had been paralyzed with fear, immediately came to his senses, begged and begged, and even said that he would give up his family wealth to save his life - the charge of collaborating with the enemy and treason was not easy to bear. Not only one person suffered, but the entire family. The whole family will be in disaster.

"Why did I do it in the first place if I had known today?" Qiu Yan did not mean to forgive them at all, and said to Yu Siyan, "These people came here with Huang Yan. The situation is already obvious. They will be detained first and then interrogated."

Yu Siyan nodded and whispered: "Master Hou, then these people's property will be confiscated?" When he spoke, he showed a tacit expression.

Qiu Yan glanced at him and said, "I know what you mean, but the crimes committed by these four families are definitely not small and cannot be treated lightly. How to deal with them must be carried out in accordance with national laws without any ambiguity."

Yu Siyan immediately said seriously: "The official knows what to do."

After giving the instructions, Qiu Yan turned his eyes and fell on the invitation in his hand. The beads of humanity in his chest shook slightly, splitting into two streams of clear water and filling his eyes. He immediately saw many aura scenes on the invitation.
