Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 11127

Loushan Pass.

Sheriff's Mansion.

"Transfer Eagle King, Dragon Demon and the others? This probably won't be difficult."

Luo Xingchen smiled bitterly.

"Yes, Eagle King, Dragon Demon and the others are all master warriors. If a master issues a challenge to them openly, it will be almost impossible for them to dodge and refuse." Zi Yan said.

"If I go and talk to them, maybe I can stop them, but I won't stop them. Not only will I not stop them, I will even let them take the initiative to fight."

Luo Xingchen touched his nose.

"You'll take a big risk if you try to beat them."

Zi Yan said with some concern.

“You can’t catch a wolf without sacrificing your child. I am the child who catches the wolf, but I must live and they must die!”

Luo Xingchen's expression was full of confidence.

In terms of masculine heroism, he is just like his father Luo Fengtang and is never afraid of challenges.

"Okay, then let's set up a good plan, a dragnet, and catch all those rats in the gutter."

Zi Yan raised her hand and patted the armrest of the chair.

"If we don't solve this problem, those people will continue to hide in the shadows, and who knows when they will jump out."

In Luo Xingchen's opinion, the ancestor of the Yang family must die. Only by killing him can the remnants of the Yang family in Bozhou completely give up the idea. Even if they hide, they will not dare to show up casually.

"Sister Ziyan, please go to Yuanjing City and make arrangements there. I will move the temporary county governor's office there before I attack Hongye Pass."

Luo Xingchen thought for a while and said.

"The left and right wings of Yilong City, the capital of Bozhou, are Yuanjing City and Longquan City... Yuanjing City is just right, and it happens to be the closest to Hongye City."

Zi Yan nodded.

"Sister, go to Vision City and clean it up first. I'll go after the situation stabilizes."

"Okay, I'll take a rest and leave tomorrow."

Zi Yan stretched lazily. She was very tired and needed a good night's rest.

Afterwards, Luo Xingchen asked someone to arrange accommodation for her. The living conditions in the county magistrate's mansion were still very good, and many scarce supplies were transferred from Yizhou.

Now that Loushan Pass belongs to the imperial court, the original Yizhou defense line can be withdrawn. This will greatly reduce the financial burden on Yizhou and gradually move towards a virtuous cycle of balanced revenue and expenditure. In this way, it will be possible to free up hands to support some supplies to Loushan Pass.

……

Early the next morning, Zi Yan set out with two local secret guards and rushed to Yuanjing City.

After a whole day's journey on horseback, Zi Yan only ate some dry food at noon and took a short rest. By the evening, she could already see the tall city wall in front of her.

The matter of the blood sacrifice of the Southern Witch Clan had not been spread, and under the governance of the new city lord Nie Xinran, the entire Yuanjing City had returned to peace.

The city gates were open, and the patrollers were no longer the previous patrol troops, but the imperial army had taken over.

Zi Yan took out the token and entered the city easily.

She ran straight towards the City Lord's Mansion.

But after she entered the City Lord's Mansion, she was taken to a reception room and did not see the new City Lord immediately.

Because at this time Nie Xinran was receiving Yang Feiqi and his group.

Yang Feiqi and his group of merchants made a choice in this huge change. They contacted Zhang Tianyi who led his army in advance.

But before they could find a way to open the city gate and welcome Zhang Tianyi into the city, they discovered that the entire city had been presented to the court by Nie Xinran.

They didn't expect that Nie Xinran, with his thick eyebrows, big eyes and high-sounding words, could shoot faster than them. How embarrassing it made them!

There was no choice but to cheer up and go find Nie Xinran.

At this moment, Nie Xinran certainly began to have some idea. How could he not know what these people were planning...

"I have been a member of the imperial court for a long time, so Yuanjing City has naturally been owned by the imperial court for a long time. I have seen what everyone is thinking at this time, and I will soon write a letter to Lord Luo of Bozhou Zongguan to make a decision."

Nie Xinran spoke in an official tone, looking very businesslike. Yang Feiqi and Yang Feiqi exchanged a few glances, feeling bitter inside. It seemed that this time he would not be able to do it without paying enough blood.

"Sir, we all admire the imperial court. Look, this is the gift we prepared to reward the army."

Yang Feiqi took out a piece of paper.

This is a list. Each household has agreed on a number in advance, and the head of each household writes it on the list personally and then stamps it, so there is no possibility of regret.

Nie Xinran took the list, frowned, looked at it, and then nodded slightly.

"Yes, I have seen your sincerity. You should go back and do your work well. The court will not treat you unfairly."

Then he began to serve tea to the guests.

Originally, he wanted to chat for a while longer and squeeze out some more money and food.

But someone came to report earlier that an important figure from the court had arrived.

He could neglect these merchants, but he could not offend or neglect the high-ranking officials in the imperial court.

……

living room.

Nie Xinran came hurriedly.

He didn't even wipe the sweat off his forehead and face. This was of course intentional so that his superiors could see his hard work.

There is an old saying that goes, no matter how well things are done, the attitude towards doing things must be correct.

"Yuan Jing Nie happily greets you, sir."

As soon as Nie Xinran arrived, he saluted politely and properly according to the rules of officialdom.

Zi Yan raised her eyes and said, "No need to be polite, City Lord Nie, please sit down and talk."

Only then did Nie Xinran sit down carefully.

He already knew the identity of the visitor in advance.

This seemingly beautiful young girl is not someone to be trifled with.

This woman is already the leader of the secret guards and is a favorite of the emperor.

The Secret Guard is the largest secret service agency in Da Qi, with the power to supervise all officials. It is a true imperial privilege, and such people cannot be offended.

"City Lord Nie, has Han Xiezi's identity been confirmed?"

Zi Yan went straight to the point.

She came here just to do business and wouldn't say a single extra word.

"It has been confirmed that the body is Han Xiezi. He was indeed killed by the Southern Witch Cult."

Nie Xinran sighed twice, feeling a little emotional.

Although Han Xiezi's death was beneficial to him...only when Han Xiezi died could he become the real city lord.

But the death of the rabbit makes the fox mourn, Han Xiezi was also an official.

Such a high-ranking official died at the hands of the Southern Witch Cult, and his death was so tragic.

The corpse was unrecognizable and it took many efforts to finally determine that it was Han Xiezi.

If it were him, he would probably end up in the same situation.

"From now on, you must strengthen your security and bring guards with you when you travel. The guards must be at least first-rate warriors."

Purple smoke.

As long as you bring more guards, even a master warrior will find it difficult to kill the target quickly.

Moreover, there are very few martial arts masters, and they value propriety, so not many of them are willing to assassinate officials at will.

As long as one shows up, he will generally become the target of public criticism and will be besieged and hunted down by other masters.

"I have already made all the arrangements. I will not be leaving the City Lord's Mansion in the near future."

Nie Xinran was a very timid person. He knew that the Southern Witch Cult had a master warrior, but who knew if he would disregard his dignity and take action? He couldn't take the chance.
