Chapter 254

During Xia Jin's absence, Xiao Yiyuan's night shadow guards have returned one after another, bringing news that the barracks and Beiyou's works in important departments have been cleared.

When things get to this point, it's time to go back to Lizhou for the final action.

……

The next day, Xiao Yiyuan and his party left the post house and rushed to Lizhou under the watchful eye of the prefect.

Xiao Yihuan, Lu Qing, Tianying and Qi Lang took the lead in riding fast horses.

Because Xia Jin's shoulder injury is not healed, it is not suitable to ride a horse. Xiao Yiyuan accompanies her to ride a carriage.

Xiao Qi, Luo Han and Luo Ming are in charge of the horse and are responsible for the guard.

And Si Yao, after seeing Xia Jin's safe return yesterday, went back to Mo City.

……

Xiao Yihuan drove his horse all the way, almost day and night, changing people without changing horses, and returned to Lizhou City three days later.

Han Chengdong has his own way of dealing with things, but Cao Hui is not easy to deal with. He has been operating and planning in Lizhou for many years, and has a broad and deep-rooted network, which is hard to shake.

He once tried to follow Xia Jin's words when she left, and implemented the strategy of cutting the mess quickly. Cao Hui was killed, and then he attacked the other corrupt officials and bullies.

However, when it is put into practice, it has repeatedly met with difficulties and failed.

Only a few corrupt officials and bullies were cleaned up, a few merchants were sealed, and a few people were thrown into the Lizhou building. There was no progress.

The only thing to be thankful for is that as time went on, the plague in Lizhou was unparalleled in the world, and Bai Qingqing led a group of imperial doctors to treat it in batches, which had been under overall control.

Because of the new drug developed by Wushuang and Bai Qingqing, no one who has not been infected with the pestilence has died of the pestilence. On the contrary, countless people recover every day.

The name of Bai Qingqing and unparalleled in the world resounded through Lizhou and quickly spread throughout the Eastern Qing Dynasty and even the other three kingdoms.

As for the two, a beautiful story of the couple has emerged

There is another village with hidden willows and bright flowers. Just when Han Chengdong is at a loss, Xiao Yihuan, the original first person in Lizhou, finally returns.

The first thing Xiao Yihuan did was to draw up a list, and then summon the elite cavalry who had led 5000 Yongzhou troops to the East China Sea. At this time, Li Fan, who had already led the troops to garrison outside Lizhou City, was the partial general.

Together with Li Fan came Hu Cheng, a partisan General of Yongzhou army, and Lin Yu, who had gone to Yongzhou camp with Han Chengdong to dispatch troops.

Xiao Yihuan divided the residence of all officials and gentry in Lizhou city into four regions: East, West, North and south.

And ordered the three people and Han Chengdong to cooperate with each other, each leading a team to go to the four areas respectively to block the area.

Then all the officials, gentry, bullies and their families who are on the list in the responsible area will be arrested.

In the course of the action, we do not ask the cause, judge right or wrong, and ignore any doubts.

This move will undoubtedly involve a large number of innocent people, so that the panic caused by the plague will slowly subside, and the people will fall into panic again.

However, neither breaking nor standing!

At this time has been closed in recent years, if further delay, will not be able to completely quell the Lizhou before the spring of next year.

And after the beginning of spring is the farming season

If so, Lizhou, known as the granary of the Eastern Qing Dynasty, will once again live up to this reputation, and the grain inventory of the Eastern Qing Dynasty will be difficult to sustain.

Once Beiyou or any other country takes the opportunity to launch a war, even if there are thousands of soldiers in Dongqing, they will be defeated without fighting!

Moreover, Xiao Yiyuan chose to accompany Xia Jin to Lizhou by carriage instead of leaving Tianying, Lu Qing and others to protect him. He and Xiao Yihuan came back first in order to make Xiao Yihuan make more contributions to offset some of the crimes he committed in the past year and get a lighter sentence.

How could Xiao Yihuan let him down for his hard work?

Therefore, it is extremely important for the enemy to adopt a strategy that alternates the virtual with the real, so that he can't figure out how to deal with the other side correctly, so as to achieve quick results.

Han Chengdong and others have doubts about Xiao Yihuan's order, but Nianji knows Lizhou better than they do, and he is not a brainless and reckless person, so he does what he wants.

At this time, it was the time to bid. After the five members quickly agreed on the specific action steps, they left to prepare for the action.

At that time, it was time for rich families to have dinner. Four teams led by Han Chengdong started their operations.

Most of the people who enjoy the delicacies and feasts in the front hall have not even reacted to them, so they have already been attacked by swords and axes.

Of course, there are some people who are rebellious, and the value of force is not low.

For example, one of the causes of today's state of Lizhou is the residence of Cao Hui, who is located in Dongcheng District.

Cao Hui held part of the military power of Lizhou in his hands. In addition, he cultivated many dead soldiers in these years.

After Han Chengdong led Ding, the leader of the army, to break into tongduanfu, these people poured out and resisted fiercely.

Han Chengdong damaged many soldiers, and a dead man cut a three foot long knife wound to his right upper arm.

If it had not been for Xiao Yihuan's arrangement, Tianying and Lu Qing would have watched the more fierce Southern District and Eastern District respectively.

However, Tianying immediately appeared to help after he found that the situation in tongduanfu was not clear. Han Chengdong's situation will be more severe.

With the participation of Tianying, a top killer, Cao Hui's painstaking cultivation of the dead can no longer be of use. The sword in Tianying's hand keeps cutting the necks of these dead, reaping the lives of those damned people who help to tyranny and do evil.

The soldiers obeyed Cao Hui's orders were so frightened that they trembled like chaff.

After killing all the dead soldiers, Tianying glanced coldly at them, and immediately scared them to throw away their swords and kneel down to cry for mercy.

In some cases, it's not terrible to kill people. What's terrible is that the murderer's attitude towards killing people is just like harvesting crops. With every sword, one or more lives are suddenly terminated!

And the murderer didn't have the slightest emotion fluctuation, even a blink of an eye.

Tianying, deeply shocked them!

Seeing that the overall situation was gone, Cao Hui reluctantly picked up a broken knife on the ground and cut it to the eagle with his back to him like a trapped beast.

In the face of the sword, which was cut at a very fast speed, the eagle stood still, as if the danger of life and death did not exist.

"Be careful!"

Even though he knew that Tianying had excellent skills, Cao Hui could not hurt him at all, but when he saw that the knife was less than an inch from his neck, Han Chengdong still couldn't help his exclamation.

And just as he exhaled, the eagle suddenly moved.

When his left arm was suddenly raised, all the people present felt a flower in front of him. When everything was still, Cao Hui was lying on the ground in front of Tianying. After several mouthfuls of blood gushed out of his mouth, he stared round, twitched a few times, and died in unwilling and hatred.

And the broken knife was sandwiched between the index finger and the middle finger of his left hand.
