Chapter 361 Play hard to get, who is the ghost?

On the Wuyi River, three Dushui Division patrol boats lined up in a row and moved forward calmly.

Flags were fluttering, and figures were scattered.

The swords and guns are fierce and the momentum is breathtaking.

Li Xuan, dressed in a crimson official robe, stood at the bow of the bow ship, holding an eight-sided Han sword in his hand, his face expressionless, not angry but powerful.

Qiu Zhenmu, dressed in red and golden armor, with a Thousand Ox Sword on his waist, stood on the left, looking powerful and domineering.

Li Zhu, dressed in green clothes, stood on the right side, holding a long spear in his hand, the cold light shining coldly.

Yu Ze, Wang Bo, Feng Hua, a military officer from Wuzhou, and Wang Qin, a meritorious military officer from Wuzhou, stood with their hands tied and followed behind.

Not far ahead is the East Gate Pier of Jinhua County.

In the rear, you can see the flags flying at the top of Zhoucheng in the distance.

Feng Hua, a soldier who joined the army, frowned, as if he had been thinking about something.

Finally, he raised his head and glanced at Li Xuan in front of him. There was a moment of hesitation on his face, and he finally did not dare to step forward. Finally, he cautiously approached Yu Ze.

"Yu Xiuzhan, is the prince really not worried that something will happen to the city after he leaves?" Feng Hua asked, his face full of worry.

Yu Ze couldn't help but smile and comforted in a low voice: "Brother Feng, don't worry, now all those who can cause trouble in the city have been purged. As for those who are deeply hidden..."

"Those who are hiding deeply, if I don't leave the city, how can they come out safely?" Li Xuan suddenly turned around and looked directly at Feng Hua.

Yu Ze quickly raised his hands and bowed.

Li Xuan waved her hand directly, looked at Feng Hua, then looked at Wang Bo, Wang Qin and others: "Some people, when I am here, they will not move. Only when I leave, they will relax their guard and can't help but jump.

When you come out, you will even jump very high."

Wang Qin looked at Wang Bo subconsciously, his eyes full of horror.

Wang Bo nodded slightly.

Indeed, although their departure this time was due to the summer harvest, it was more of a hard-to-get strategy.

Li Xuan turned back to look at the city wall and said coldly: "Only in this way can I see clearly whether those people are humans or ghosts... Feng Canjun, who do you think are humans and who are ghosts?"

"I don't know...I don't know, so I don't dare to speak nonsense." Feng Hua quickly handed over his hand, his eyes flashed several times, but in the end he still didn't dare to talk nonsense.

Li Xuan nodded and said calmly: "Feng Canjun is a mature person and has his own views on people and things. I will not force him. But if there is something, I ask Feng Canjun to pay more attention. If there is anything,

Just in case, I might as well join the army to ask for mercy."

"I accept your orders," Feng Hua said with a smile, then stepped back.

But the eyes that looked at Li Xuan were full of awe.

When the King of Nanchang left Wuzhou City this time, he was actually trying to lure a snake out of its hole. Now I don't know how many people are going to be unlucky.

At this time, Feng Hua is even more worried about the people in Wuzhou City.

It would be fine if they kept to themselves, but if they had other ideas, they would be immediately caught by the King of Nanchang.

The current situation, with the King of Nanchang's methods, once he gets a handle on it, those people will be doomed.

Feng Hua looked around, a trace of worry flashing in his eyes.

Because the former soldier Cao Shenjun Yan Tao who was still following them has disappeared.

Where has he gone?

Could it be that the King of Nanchang has other arrangements?

At this time, Jinhua County arrived ahead.

…

On the pier of Jinhua County, a thirty-year-old seventh-grade county magistrate wearing a light green official robe was standing on the pier, followed by a group of Jinhua officials.

The cruise ship slowly docked.

When the ship's plank fell, Qian Niuwei still took the lead, directly separating the county government officials from the government soldiers on the side.

Li Xuan walked steadily off the boat wearing a light crimson official robe.

As soon as he landed at the pier, the leading Qipin County Magistrate immediately bowed his hands and said: "I am going to be the magistrate of Jinhua County, Ning Yi, and lead the government officials to welcome the king for inspection. Your Majesty, Wan'an."

"Your Majesty, Wan'an!" Many Jinhua officials present bowed their hands at the same time.

Li Xuan nodded slightly and raised her right hand: "Everyone, please stand up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Everyone present immediately retreated to both sides, leaving only Li Xuan and Ning Yi in the middle.

"I heard that Magistrate Ning was injured and has been busy with state affairs. He didn't come to visit until today. Please forgive me!" Li Xuan bowed to Ning Yi.

Standing very close, Li Xuan could clearly see a trace of paleness on Ning Yi's face.

It can be seen that even if his body has recovered, the recovery is very shallow.

Ning Yi hurriedly returned the favor and said, "It is the official who is guilty. Your Majesty took over and has been away for many days. The official has not been able to visit the city. It is really the official's fault. I hope you will forgive me!"

Ning Yi was very polite, but his expression was also full of excitement.

After a slight pause, he followed up and said: "Xiaoguan heard that the murderer who assassinated the king's assassin that day has been executed by the king. Xiaguan's illness was cured by 70% immediately. I am here to express my gratitude to the prince."

Saying that, Ning Yi was about to bow down deeply.

Li Xuan quickly stepped forward to help Ning Yi. It would be better if he bowed down.

Li Xuan hurriedly said: "These are all my duties, so why should I say thank you? To be honest with the county magistrate, I came to Jinhua this time to check on the progress of this year's summer harvest, and on the other hand, to

I would like to ask the county magistrate about the current trends of the Tianyin Sect bandits in Jinhua County?"

After looking around, Li Xuan lowered his voice and said: "The county magistrate may not know something. Although I was lucky enough to kill several leaders of the Tianyin Sect this time, most of his subordinates had already killed them when I entered the city.

Withdrew from the state city and scattered in all directions, and now they are most likely in..."

"Jinhua!" Ning Yi blurted out one sentence directly.

"That's right." Li Xuan nodded and said: "In today's Wuzhou, if the Tianyin Sect wants to completely settle everything and make a comeback, it must capture the city, and now the most convenient way to attack the city is

Jinhua County is just around the corner.”

"What the prince said is absolutely true." Ning Yi nodded solemnly, then raised his hands and said: "The prince doesn't know something. Although the official has been appointed as the county magistrate, he has only started to serve as director in the past two months and in the past few days. As for the situation in the county

, Your Majesty still needs to ask the county magistrate."

Ning Yi looked behind him and called out in a low voice: "Luxian Cheng!"

A solemn middle-aged official in his forties, wearing a dark blue official robe, came forward and bowed his hands with a respectful expression: "I have met the Prince of Nanchang!"

"The surname is Lu, is the county magistrate a descendant of Fan Yang's Lu family?" Li Xuan asked curiously.

"I don't dare. Although the official is a descendant of the Fan Yang Lu family, he is only on the fringes of the family. Being able to serve as county magistrate now is already the limit."

Having said this, Lu Jin bowed with a solemn expression: "I don't know what the prince has planned. Could you please give me your instructions?"

Li Xuan turned her head and looked at the county magistrate Ning Yi. Ning Yi nodded seriously, and Li Xuan's expression relaxed slightly.

"I would like to know how many Tianyin believers there are in the entire Jinhua territory, including the county and townships... Will they pose a threat to this year's summer harvest? If so, what measures has your county taken now?

means to deal with it?”

"Reporting to the prince, since the official document from the state government was received, the lower officials have started to clear out the Tianyin believers in every room of the county government, the city gate watchtower, and all the Tianyin believers in the official rooms of the county government. A total of twenty-seven Tianyin believers were killed and captured.

There are more than fifty people, and all of them have written letters of repentance and sworn to break up with the Tianyin Sect."

Li Xuan couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "President Lu has done a good job."

"Also, there are still many Tianyin cultists in this county, and the number is quite large. If they are all captured, I am afraid that this year's summer harvest will be delayed, so..." There was a trace of hesitation on Lu Jin's face.

"The county magistrate is interested, but I am here this time to help your county solve this problem." Li Xuan pointed to the two patrol boats behind and said: "The ones above are all in the prefecture and have already been with the county.

The Tianyin Sect has completely drawn a clear line between the Muzhou immigrants. They came to Jinhua this time to help Jinhua with the summer grain harvest. Now, let’s see, where should they start harvesting first?”

"Ah!" Ning Yi and Lu Jin looked at each other, with a hint of surprise in their eyes.

Both of them are smart people, and they can tell at a glance that what Li Xuan is doing now is not just to help Wuzhou with its autumn grain harvest.

The special origins of these people may directly affect those Tianyin believers.

Tianyin believers themselves are mainly immigrants from Muzhou, followed by Wuzhou locals and lower-class people with poor assets.

Now even the immigrants from Muzhou have begun to turn against each other, and the people in Jinhua County are easily affected.

As for those stubborn Tianyin Sect believers, they can also take advantage of this opportunity to identify them.

Everyone is an official, and few are fools.

They know best how to maximize their own contributions.

Seeing the thoughtful looks on their faces, Li Xuan's eyes immediately became serious.

He took out a memorial from his body, handed it to Ning Yi and Lu Jin, and said: "In order to ensure this year's summer harvest, I have reported to the central government in advance to recruit some prisoners from state prisons and county prisons for civilian service.
