Chapter 251 Fighting wits and courage
Lord Mu left, and Mu Huo stayed behind to wait for orders. Chu Xian asked Luo Yong to fetch the largest set of armor and clothes for Mu Huo to change into. He then shaved his head and put on an iron helmet. It looks like a tall military guard, and it can't be seen that it is a local mountain man.

"Muhuo, your name should also be mentioned. At least to the outside world, the people on Fan Chengshui's side must not know that you are a local mountain people. I will give you a name, Chu San, and you will be called this in the future." Chu Xian said in a tone With a kind of toughness, obviously no matter whether Mu Huo agrees or not.

Mu Huo has no objection, now his name is Chu San.

Taking Luo Yong and Chu San back to Linshui County, Chu Xian was thinking about things all the way.

Fan Chengshui asked himself to deal with the affairs of Linshui County this time in order to force him to confront the Sulan tribe. He guessed that the fact that he "killed" the rebels of the Sulan tribe on the spot had already been passed back to Fan Chengshui in Yunlong City in the ears.

Chu Xian deliberately set off such a smoke bomb to see what Fan Chengshui was going to do.

Ever since he first took office, Fan Chengshui has been trying to make himself and the Sulan tribe feud and conflict. Why?
Why is it the Sulan nationality?

Fan Chengshui is not a simple character, he is extremely cunning, he does things with a clear purpose, and he will not stir up enmity between the Sulan tribe and himself for no reason.

What is easy to think of is to add obstacles to oneself and make it difficult for oneself to govern.

Is there a deeper purpose?

Chu Xian felt that there must be, but he didn't know for the time being, and it was the first time he encountered the mountain people's attack, and this time, Chu Xian was always planning to trick Fan Chengshui to show his hole cards to see what the other party was up to , what tricks to play.

Many officials in Linshui County died this time. As the magistrate, Chu Xian naturally had to sit here first to stabilize the situation. In addition, Chu Xian decided to decide on the new county magistrate and other officials of Linshui County as soon as possible.

But at this point, it is estimated that Fan Chengshui will make a horizontal move, so hurry up.

There were no officials on hand, not without them, there were also the remaining officials in Linshui County, but Chu Xian didn't know the details of these people, and presumably they belonged to Fan Chengshui's gang.

In this way, the new county magistrate could never be selected from these people, Chu Xian had to find another way.

Fortunately, Chu Xian had already planned.

He recruited local officials, took the household registrations of the whole county and looked them up, and listed those who were eligible for the list. From this point of view, there are still a lot of list students in Linshui County, and some of them are native mountain people.

Chu Xian has the Shenhai library, and he browses the materials very quickly, and soon Chu Xian found the candidate he likes.

Mr. Mu Chengfeng of Linshui County Xuetang, Sulan nationality, studied in Chunjiang City in his early years, and even worked as a small official in the Academy of Arts, but because of his background, he was never reused. Later, he returned to Linshui County and taught in the school Educate people.

He is a top student, has served in the Holy Dynasty, and has enough qualifications. Although if he is directly promoted to the eighth rank, it is a leapfrog promotion and he has to report to the state government, but Chu Xian is not afraid that Song Yuanzhong will not agree.

This person was chosen by himself, and Song Yuanzhong would agree even for his own sake.

The most important thing is that this person is from the Sulan nationality, and the surrounding area of ​​​​Linshui County is dominated by Sulan people. It is inappropriate to use outsiders to manage the local people, not to mention that if tyranny is imposed, it will not stir up trouble. Public outrage is not normal.

The county magistrate has candidates, and the rest are other officials, such as the master book, such as the history, Chu Xian simply did it in one step, and all selected newcomers, and they were all locals.

Not only that, Chu Xian called the surviving officials together, and then severely reprimanded them.

The magistrate was furious, and these people were naturally terrified. In the end, Chu Xian dismissed all these people from their official positions, and sent them back to the city to make a new arrangement.

In this way, he will use his tricks, Chu Xian wants to completely take down Linshui County, and wipe out Fan Chengshui's power directly.

For a government order, it is just a county, which is really nothing, let alone worth mentioning, but the significance of Chu Xian's doing so is greater than the actual value.

Chu Xian wanted to use this incident to send a signal, telling all the officials in Yunlong City that he was the magistrate, and Fan Chengshui was not invincible. How long did he just take office?This forcibly tore a hole open, just to make them afraid, uneasy, disturb their mentality, and shake Fan Chengshui's foundation.

As long as he can pry even a little bit, Chu Xian will be considered a victory.

However, Fan Chengshui's actions were also extremely fast. Not only did new county officials be sent immediately, but also rumors that the Sulan tribe was hostile to Chu Xian and vowed to take revenge quickly spread everywhere.

For the new officials with the so-called transfer order from the state government, Chu Xian's response was to let them go back and forth. This kind of appointment, Chu Xian would not admit it, even if it was torn apart, Chu Xian would not agree.

Speaking of which, Fan Chengshui was really courageous. He dared to issue this kind of official appointment in the name of the city government without his own consent. To put it bluntly, it was ultra vires.

But Chu Xian knew that if he used this point to deal with Fan Chengshui, the other party could definitely use the reason that the officials they sent were actually to 'ask' him to fool him.

And since he came to 'ask' for the opinion of his government order, Chu Xian's answer was to tell them to go back.

And those rumors that popped up out of nowhere were absolutely fabricated.

Chu Xian knew the actual situation better than anyone else, with Duke Mu around, how could the Sulan tribe say they wanted revenge on him?No need to ask, this must be the wind deliberately released by Fan Chengshui, for what purpose?
Hair blowing, building momentum?

There is such a possibility.

Without these rumors, it would be difficult for Chu Xian to guess Fan Chengshui's plan, but with this rumor, Chu Xian already had a bold guess.

Fan Chengshui not only had to deal with himself, but also the Sulan tribe.

The easiest way is to 'kill' so many members of the Sulan tribe by yourself, and to form an enmity, the Sulan tribe would find someone to assassinate him. That's a matter of course, right?
If he is killed, it will inevitably arouse the anger of the state government. After all, he is the official of the sixth-rank government of the Holy Dynasty, and he is assassinated by the unruly people. Genocide.

This is killing two birds with one stone. With Fan Chengshui's temperament, he likes this kind of thing the most, but the question is, what is Fan Chengshui's purpose for doing this?
Just to compete with yourself for power?
That's enough to drive him away. Killing people, especially officials, is too risky. If you are not careful, you may involve Fan Chengshui himself.

Just to exterminate the Sulan tribe?
That's even more unreasonable. What enmity does Fan Chengshui have with the Sulan people?Even if there is, it should be an individual, and there is no need to deliberately plan to destroy the whole family.

Therefore, no matter how you look at it, it is somewhat unreasonable, at least if it is Chu Xian himself, he would not choose this method to deal with his 'political enemy', let alone use this method to deal with a local tribe.

But, Fan Chengshui is doing this now, so Chu Xian knows that there must be a reason he doesn't understand, and this reason is Fan Chengshui's real purpose for doing these things.

The officials of Linshui County, from top to bottom, are all selected by Chu Xian, that is to say, Linshui County is now 'surnamed Chu'.

This is a good start. After finishing the matter here, Chu Xian will return to Yunlong City immediately, because the city mansion is the key, and Chu Xian must be dismantled bit by bit and replaced by his own people.

The best way is to find excuses, find reasons, and use the rules reasonably to replace people.

It's just that Fan Chengshui had already expected Chu Xian's possible actions, so when he went back this time, Chu Xian found that the attitudes of the officials in the city mansion had changed 180 degrees. handle.

In this way, there is no way to replace officials without legitimate reasons.

But of course this kind of thing can't be difficult for Chu Xian. Chu Xian doesn't mind doing things like making things out of nothing, but the problem is that the situation in this city is different from that in Linshui County. It will definitely not exceed the eighth rank, so Chu Xian can't replace those key positions with newcomers, even if they are promoted exceptionally.

I still don't have my own team in hand, no one.

Even if you are looking for some rookie candidates, at most up to the ninth rank, how will the low-level officials control the city?

In the end, the way Chu Xian thought of to deal with it was to poach the wall.

After all, Fan Chengshui is just an individual. He alone controls Yunlong City, including more than 20 counties below, thanks to many subordinate officials.

And among these officials, there must be some important figures, such as the canon history of the Chengfu, and the writer of the Chengfu. These are Fan Chengshui's right-hand men, and removing one of them will be enough to shake Fan Chengshui's power.

It's just that it's hard to say whether the corner of the wall can be pried open. Fan Chengshui single-handedly promoted these people from top to bottom. It may not be feasible to make them betray Fan Chengshui, and the cost will definitely not be small.

However, Chu Xian's advantage is that he is not afraid of wearing shoes with bare feet, even if it only makes Fan Chengshui suspicious, he can also provoke the relationship between the other party and important subordinates.

This kind of sowing dissension is useless to some people, but it is absolutely useful to someone like Fan Chengshui who is generous on the surface but is actually narrow-minded.

Fan Chengshui's subordinates were also familiar with Fan Chengshui's character, which aroused speculation among them.

So next, Chu Xian asked Song Ye to go to the important officials of the city to eat and drink all day long. If the other party didn't agree at first, it's fine. He went to invite him every day. After finishing the invitation in the morning, he would still invite him in the afternoon. Moreover, he had to eat every meal. Even if only Song Ye eats at a table, and no one really comes to the banquet, he still has to do it.

This is tactics.

It was impossible for Fan Chengshui to cover everything. The more generous and open-minded he was, the more he would stare at who would dare to go to the banquet. However, Chu Xian chose Song Ye because of this.
