"I'm innocent, my lord! We are not spies!"
"Sir, we don't know what you're talking about!”
The county deputy and county captain, who were captured by the soldiers, looked at Su Yan with tearful expressions.
"Humph! Could it be that I've wronged you?”
Su Yan looked at the two of them and snorted. Then, he looked at the people behind them.
"Do you think they are spies from the Wuhuan?”
The two kneeling on the ground felt relieved when they heard this. These were their people, and they would definitely side with them.
However…
"Sir, I can testify that the two of them are spies!”
The registrar stood up and said seriously.
"What?!"
The two of them were stunned for a moment and immediately said angrily,"You bastard, how dare you slander us! Milord, don't listen to his nonsense!"
The registrar ignored the two of them and turned to look at the others." Everyone has been bullied by the two of them for a long time. Don't you want to resist?”
His words immediately stirred up the emotions of everyone present.
"My lord! I can testify that they are spies!”
"Sir, I can testify as well!"
"Sir!"
A series of people stood up and pointed out the registrar's words.
The county magistrate and county captain's faces turned paler.
Su Yan smiled when he saw this." What else do the two of you have to say?”
The two of them looked at him sadly. They knew that it was useless to say anything now.
"Men, take them away and behead them on the ground!”
Su Yan shouted loudly.
The soldier quickly carried the two of them out. After a while, a guard walked in and said,"Milord, those two have been beheaded!”
Everyone's expression turned cold, and fear flashed in their eyes as they looked at Su Yan.
This young county magistrate was actually so ruthless, killing without hesitation.
Moreover, he had an army in his hands, and they were all stationed in the city.
It could be said that the entire Liangxiang County was under his control.
Everyone could not resist at all and lowered their heads.
"Yue Zhao!" Su Yan shouted.”
"My lord!"
Yue Zhao stood up and said respectfully.
"Right now, Liangxiang County lacks a county head. You will temporarily take over the job. After I report to the Prefecture Overseer, I will make a decision.”
"Here!"
Yue Zhao accepted Su Yan's appointment excitedly.
From a small advisor to the head of a county, he could be said to have soared into the sky.
He understood that Su Yan had given him all of this. All he could do was to offer his loyalty.
After settling these matters, Su Yan led the army and left Liangxiang County in the afternoon, returning to Zhuo County.
This expedition had taken almost half a month. The time was neither long nor short, but the harvest was really not small.
Thinking of this, Su Yan could not help but reveal a satisfied smile.
The troops moved very quickly and soon arrived at Zhuo County.
Du Ji had already received the news and was leading a group of officials to welcome Su Yan at the city gate.
"Respectful lord!"
When Su Yan rode his horse to the front, Du Ji led the other officials and bowed.
"No need for formalities!"
Su Yan looked at the officials behind Du Ji and realized that other than some old faces, there were more new faces.
It seemed that while he was away, Du Ji had also officially reorganized the Zhuo County government and used many new people.
Su Yan didn't understand the abilities of these rookies.
However, he knew Du Ji's ability. Those who could be appointed by him must be useful talents, so he was relieved.
"Earls and marquis, it's been hard on you!"
Su Yan looked at Du Ji and said.
"Everything is for my lord's great cause. It's not hard!”
Du Ji cupped his hands and smiled.
Su Yan shook his head." Alright, let's enter the city!”
With his order, the large group behind him immediately followed him into the city.
Only then did Du Ji see that there were actually 1,000 more people in the team behind him.
More than a thousand Hu!
"My Lord, this is…?"
"It's fine. These are the Wuhuan captives I defeated.”Su Yan explained," These people are still here. I just happened to have seized quite a number of warhorses and am preparing to expand the cavalry. These people can stay here as free labor."”
Du Ji nodded after understanding and didn't say anything.
After Su Yan returned to the county office, Du Ji reported to him about the political situation in the past half a month.
Basically, there were no major problems. With Su Yan's reputation suppressing them, no one dared to cause trouble in the county.
Du Ji's decree was passed very quickly, and the various large families were also very cooperative.
Especially the Zou family.
After Su Yan heard this, he remembered something, so he said to Du Ji,"Remember to report the situation of this battle to the state capital.”
"Here."
Du Ji nodded and left.
Not long after he left, Taishi Ci arrived.
"Sir, I'm here to say goodbye."
He hesitantly revealed his purpose.
Su Yan was not disappointed at all after hearing this. Instead, he smiled and asked,"Did I not treat you well enough?"
Taishi Ci shook his head.
"Sir, I…"
"When I saw Ziyi, I immediately felt like I knew him. I sincerely request Ziyi to stay and help me.”
Su Yan held his hand and said with anticipation.
"This…"
Taishi Ci was very hesitant. He wanted to refuse, but when he saw Su Yan's expectant gaze and thought of how well Su Yan treated him, he felt that he could not do it.
"My lord, I'm willing to stay."”
"Really?"
Su Yan's eyes lit up as he looked at him in surprise.
" I wouldn't dare lie to you, sir," Taishi Ci said with a wry smile." I only ask that you allow me to go home first and bring my mother here."”
"Good! Good! Good!"
Su Yan said the word 'good' three times in a row. He was a little excited.
"Ziyi's filial piety really makes me admire him! This way, you can bring ten personal guards over and ensure your safety along the way.”
Su Yan suggested.
"How can this be, sir? No!"
Taishi Ci shook his head in shock.
Su Yan's personal guards were all first-class experts, veterans who had experienced hundreds of battles.
Now, he had to disregard Su Yan's own safety for him alone. How could he bear this?
"This matter is settled. Ziyi, don't refuse. Go back quickly and try to bring your mother back as soon as possible!”
Su Yan's expression turned stiff and his tone sank.
Taishi Ci was very touched. He bowed and said,""Thank you, sir!"
After saying that, he took a step back and looked at Su Yan's serious face. Then, he bowed.
"Taishi Ci greets my lord!"
