Chapter 369 Guard Jinhua and control six counties

In the study, Li Xuan sat behind the desk and looked at Chen Ming carefully.

Some cold morning light spread out from outside the door and fell at Chen Ming's feet.

Chen Ming stood three meters away from the table and saluted Li Xuan: "I have met the prince."

"No need to be polite, Mr. Chen, please call me. Is there anything important? Why are you here in person?" Li Xuan raised her hand slightly and then turned to the topic.

Chen Ming stood up straight and took out an official document from his body. He took a few steps forward and carefully placed it on the desk. Then he took a few steps back and stood up again: "Reporting to the prince, I have already asked Zuo Xiang and others about their confessions."

Come down, you will be sentenced to death by hanging according to the law, please review by the prince."

"Mr. Du, you are really thunderous!" Li Xuan nodded with satisfaction.

Although he had previously issued a complete set of orders in the state capital, once tax collection began, it was hard to say how much attention the officials and minor officials in the government would devote.

If they continue to make things difficult for the people and eventually lead to sudden civil unrest, Li Xuan will cry without knowing where to go.

So before these state and county tax collectors entered the mountains and fields, Li Xuan needed to use a few bloody heads to make them sober.

He lowered his head and glanced at the official document, the tip of his nose twitching slightly.

Li Xuan raised her head with satisfaction, looked at Chen Ming and said, "That's it, let's handle it quickly."

Li Xuan picked up the pen and solemnly wrote at the end of the official document: "These three people have committed extremely heinous crimes and the public resentment is boiling. They are sentenced to death by hanging to appease the people."

Li Xuan raised his head and handed the official document back directly: "Hurry up and send it to the capital of God as soon as possible, and ask the Ministry of Punishment to review it at Dali Temple. In addition, these official judgment documents will be posted immediately at the gates of all states and counties to alert the world; at the same time, tell the people that these

All the family property was confiscated to the state government and used for land grant and distribution."

Conferring land. When Li Xuan was in Wuzhou, what he was thinking about all the time was the matter of conferring land.

Use all means to find ways to obtain more land.

As long as there is continuous land transfer, the foundation of Tianyin Sect in Wuzhou will become weaker day by day.

Chen Ming also understood this. A trace of worry flashed deep in his eyes, but his face did not show it at all. He directly cupped his hands and said: "Follow the order!"

At the same time, Chen Ming stepped forward and took the official document.

Just when Chen Ming was about to say goodbye and leave, Li Xuan suddenly said: "Captain Chen."

"My subordinate is here!" Chen Ming quickly handed over his hand.

Li Xuan nodded and said in a gentle voice: "In recent days, the prefectures and counties have been busy, and I have bothered Chen Captou to rush back and forth. When everything is over, I will personally write a memorial to ask for credit for the Captou!"

Chen Ming was slightly startled, and immediately raised his hands and said: "I will definitely do my best, thank you so much, Your Majesty!"

"Yes!" Li Xuan nodded gently.

"My subordinates, please retire!" Chen Ming handed over his hand, lowered his head, and quickly retreated.

I couldn't clearly see the look on his face.

Soon, Chen Ming's figure completely disappeared from the backyard.

"This man!" Li Xuan sighed with emotion, looked at Yu Ze and Wang Bo on one side and said, "I bought him for five hundred acres of good paddy fields... This man really deserves to die!"

"Ah!" Hearing what Li Xuan said, Wang Bo on the side immediately looked at Li Xuan in great surprise, and said subconsciously: "Is the official thinking that the prince is going to give him a chance to turn back his prodigal son and make meritorious service?"

Just now, Li Xuan said that she wanted to help Chen Ming. Wang Bo subconsciously thought that Li Xuan wanted to win over Chen Ming for the last time.

"There's no turning back." Yu Ze stood aside with calm eyes: "Since he leaked information about Governor Wang, which resulted in serious injuries to the Governor and two county magistrates, Chief Shi Li Ai died on the spot, and countless colleagues and subordinates were injured.

It was destined that he would never look back.

Even if he turns back as a prodigal son now, he will inevitably be hanged. What he can do is try his best to have a bloodline to pass on."

Li Ai is a member of the clan and a long history official, as well as the governor Wang Fanglin, Jinhua County Magistrate Ning Yi, Dongyang County Magistrate Huang Jin, and countless Wuzhou officials and arrests. Chen Ming will bear all the anger alone.

"It depends on the situation. If he is willing to turn around and play a huge role in the collapse of the Tianyin Sect, and the impact of the Tianyin Sect's uprising on Wuzhou is minimal, then the court may sentence him to a reduced sentence, and his children will not have to

If you become an official, you are extremely lucky."

Hanging, reduced sentence, execution by execution.

Children do not need to join the officialdom, but the punishment of exile is probably inevitable, but at least they do not need to be executed.

"Okay, let's not mention his affairs. Li Zhu, find someone to keep an eye on his every move in Jinhua. Keep an eye on him. Even if he is discovered, don't worry." Li Xuan blinked and gave the order coldly.

.

"Here!" Li Zhu responded respectfully at the door, then turned around and exited the room.

Turning around, Li Xuan took out the rice paper underneath again, looked at the entire map of Wuzhou, and said in a deep voice: "What I need to be most concerned about now are those people from Tianyin Sect Wuzhou Hall. Where are they hiding?"

where?"

"Jinhua must be gone. These days, our people have penetrated into every town and town in Jinhua to help the people harvest summer rice. The people are happy to receive it. No one raised any objections, not even a word of complaint." Wang Bo was a little dark.

His face showed a hint of worry.

Wang Bo has not been idle these days in Jinhua.

The summer rice harvest in Jinhua is mainly divided into three directions: east of the city, north of the city and west of the city.

Li Xuan was personally in charge of the east side of the city, Ning Yi, the magistrate of Jinhua County, and Wang Bo followed him to the west of Chen, and Yu Ze followed the county magistrate Lu Jin to the north of the city.

Each of them has four hundred servants under his command, and these people were originally more or less related to the Tianyin Sect.

It is inevitable that there will be followers of the Tianyin Sect in the homes of ordinary people in the countryside and villages.

It is natural for these servants to talk about Li Xuan's series of policies and measures in Wuzhou when they are in the homes of these common people.

Whether there is agreement or quarrel, some people from the Wuzhou branch will always show up.

But alas, there was nothing.

"Do you feel that as soon as I arrived at Jinhua, those people had already withdrawn and all evacuated Jinhua?" What Li Xuan suddenly said made everyone, including himself, suddenly realize.

Wang Bo and Yu Ze looked at each other, and finally had to admit with a wry smile: "It is indeed very possible."

"If this is a definite fact!" Li Xuan stared at the map on the table carefully and said softly: "Then where will these people be now?"

"After evacuating Jinhua, there are only three directions to go."

Yu Ze stood on the left side of Li Xuan, pointed at the map, and said in a deep voice: "One is the nearest Yiwu, which has been withdrawn to Yiwu, but it is still very close to the prefecture city, and it can still attack the prefecture city at the critical moment; the other is to retreat to Yiwu.

Lanxi joined the main force of Tianyin Sect; and the last one retreated to Wuyi.

Wuyi is not close to Zhoucheng. Although if Wuyi River is strangled to death, they will be unable to advance or retreat. However, it is also a mountainous area. Once Wuyi River is strangled to death, it means that it will be difficult for us to enter."

"Wuyi, Yongkang and Pan'an counties, do you want to take care of these three counties in one pot?" Li Xuan took a deep breath.

If it were said earlier, he was very willing to see the Tianyin Sect people enter the mountainous area, because as long as the Wuyi River was blocked, they could be completely blocked.

In this way, Li Xuan can slowly put an end to the Tianyin Sect's rebellion.

But if this happens, the summer harvest in Wuyi, Yongkang and Pan'an counties will be in chaos.

After thinking for a while, Li Xuan said: "First of all, Lan Xi doesn't think about it. Yan Tao is in Ling Cave now, and Qi Guang will send him there immediately. Two teams of one hundred soldiers will guard the main road, unless the opponent is

Several times their strength, otherwise no one would be able to come over."

"But Your Majesty, if they really sent so many people." Yu Ze immediately reminded him.

"That's a good thing, because it means Lanxi is empty." Li Xuan's eyes fell directly on Lanxi, and then said: "Let Qi Guang bring the message to Yan Tao. If the enemy is too strong, let them retreat to Jinhua Mountain.

, let them join up with Governor Wang’s troops.”

After a short pause, Li Xuan said with a gloomy look: "In case the plan of this king fails, we also have the capital to make a comeback, don't we?"

"Your Majesty!" Wang Bo couldn't help but feel a hint of worry on his face.

"Your Majesty is very calculating!" Yu Ze grabbed Wang Bo, shook his head, and said: "With so many people in Lingdong, it is impossible for the Tianyin Sect to turn a blind eye, so the most likely thing is that some of them are firmly restrained.

With insufficient military strength, it is difficult to attack the state city with all our strength, and even..."

"What's more?" Wang Bo couldn't help but ask.

"Just as the people of the Tianyin Sect are worried, Yan Canjun and Qi Guang will lead their men to stab the Tianyin Sect from behind at the most unexpected opportunity." Yu Ze rolled his eyes at Li Xuan angrily.

He is the person who knows Li Xuan best. How can he do things in vain?

"The next thing we need to see is Yiwu." Li Xuan ignored Yu Ze at all, pointed directly to the location of Yiwu on the map, and said solemnly: "Yiwu's threat to the city is only lower than that of Jinhua, so we need

Send people into Yiwu in the name of assisting in harvesting summer grain."

"I'll go." Yu Ze spoke first and said, "My identity is more convincing to them. I can bring four hundred servants with me. Not to mention other places, at least I can get a clear picture of this area in the west of Yiwu City.

Clearly, this way, even if something happens to the county, I can lead people into the county..."

"No, let Wang Qin go." Li Xuan glanced at Wang Bo, and then said: "Wang Qin is a member of the army in Dongyang, and he is responsible for the examination. Those in Yiwu can't hide anything; and if

If my guess is correct, those people are not in Yiwu at all now."

"Not in Yiwu?" Li Xuan and Wang Bo were surprised at the same time.

Li Xuan nodded and said: "In fact, whether it is Wuyi or Yiwu, if you want to attack the city, there is always a threat that cannot be ignored, and that is Jinhua. As long as Jinhua is in my hands, no one can easily attack the city.

"

Is it really true that Li Xuan came to Jinhua to inspect the summer harvest just because of safety?

By guarding Jinhua, the entire Wuzhou and six southeastern counties were under his control.

"So I estimate that their real place is in Wuyi." Li Xuan moved her finger to the direction of Wuyi on the map, then drew a circle around Wuyi County, and finally clicked directly on a series of mountain peaks.

He said with certainty: "If my guess is correct, the people of Tianyin Sect are not only hiding in Wuyi, but even in this mountainous area."

Baiyun Mountain.

It borders Wuyi to the west, Jinhua to the north, Yongkang to the south, and Baiyun Mountain in Dongyang to the east.
