A certain person is the Heavenly Killer Li Gui.

Chapter 66 Dove occupying the magpie's nest
Master Song nervously finished writing the official document, took out the official seal from the corpse of Ding Zhixian, sealed it, and showed it to Li Gui with both hands.

Li Gui took a few glances and found nothing wrong, so he asked someone to send him to the capital immediately.

"Let's keep him in custody and wait to see if my second uncle can come back before we make a decision."

Li Gui found a house in the Dingzhi County Mansion and lived in it. The maids and servants were all the same as before, and all the food and drinks were as usual. It was just a different owner.

Master Song was locked in a side room next to him. If something happened, he would be taken out and killed directly.

Master Song stayed in the room honestly, praying in his heart that the people in Zhoucheng would not send Li Liye and others away so quickly, but on the other hand, he was racking his brains to figure out how to save his life if things failed.

The killing in the city lasted for less than half an hour and then ended.

How could a group of ordinary gentry, with dozens of powerful slaves at home, be the rival of the Yushan people?
But the follow-up financial search, relocation and other matters were so busy that it didn't end until dawn.

In the end, Zhu Fu collected a large number of horse-drawn carriages and donkey carts in the city, which solved the urgent need.

At noon, all the people from each team gathered at the Yamen. Zhu Fu counted the number of people. After everyone came back, he went to Li Gui to report.

Li Gui was doing routine exercises in the courtyard, dancing around hundreds of kilograms of rockery rocks, which made Master Song next to him feel weak in his legs.

Seeing Zhu Fu coming over, Li Gui gently put down the rockery, wiped his sweat, and asked, "How is the situation in the city?"

Zhu Fu smiled bitterly and said: "Every house is closed and the streets are empty."

This was an expected thing, and Li Gui didn't take it seriously. He just asked: "I saw fires everywhere last night. Which team did it?"

"My little brother went to check, but it turned out that they were not from our village, but from many gangsters in the city who took advantage of the army to enter the city and robbed them."

When Li Gui heard this, he raised his brows, narrowed his eyes, and showed his murderous intent, "Have you ever killed him?"

"Uh..." Zhu Fu hesitated, "Many of them are acquaintances in the city, so I just arrested them, but didn't kill anyone."

Li Gui snorted coldly, "Humph, if we really had friendship, he would have come to the mountain early, and at the worst he would have been a spy for us. How can we be considered friends if we have never been together?"

Zhu Fu understood immediately and immediately apologized: "I understand, so I will take care of them."

"The heads were piled at the gate of the government office, together with the gentry."

The two were discussing in the courtyard. Master Song next to them timidly came over and mustered up the courage to say:

"Your Majesty, you don't need to be like this."

"The outside world doesn't know that Ding Zhixian is dead. Your Majesty can completely replace Ding Zhixian with Tao Zhan."

"Now this county is under the control of the king. As long as Xiaosheng cooperates, Yishui County can be easily controlled."

"Then the king only needs to charge these people with being 'collaborating with bandits', and then they can kill people and ransack their homes in a reasonable manner."

"Not only that, but everyone on Yushan Mountain can also be incorporated into the county's rural army, and the big and small leaders can be transformed into generals."

"If the leader of the village is willing, he can completely change his name and use his achievements in annihilating the 'Yushan Village' as a stepping stone to his career. Although he has not recruited anyone, it is still the same as recruiting him."

Li Gui and Zhu Fu were stunned, looking at Master Song with strange eyes, and suddenly realized that Master Song was not without merit.

This method of dove occupying magpie's nest is indeed very good.

The current level of communication is really far behind. It is really easy to hide it from the state and actually control Yishui County.

Of course, this is also related to the special situation in Yishui County.Under normal circumstances, the forces in the county are complicated. Unless the interests of all the gentry are united and a consensus is reached, changing the county magistrate will not be possible.

All the gentry in Yishui County were killed by Li Gui, which created a certain power vacuum, which provided sufficient conditions for Li Guijiu to occupy the Magpie Nest.

The most important thing is that the military power in the county has long been wiped out by the various wars in Yushan. The original soldiers and horses were imprisoned long ago, and Li Yun, the head of the county, has also gone to Yushan, and now he is even more important. The city is under the control of the Yushan people.

There used to be officials such as the chief registrar and county magistrate in the county, but now they are all in the hands of the Yushan people, and they don't even dare to let go.

All channels for reporting upwards are basically controlled by Yushan.

As for ordinary people, haha...

Ordinary people these days are not regarded as human beings, they are almost like human-shaped animals, and their words are not convincing at all.

Even if some people went to the state to complain, saying that the magistrate had died a long time ago, but in fact the current magistrate was a bandit leader, no one would believe him, let alone accept the complaint, and they might even arrest him and send him back to Yishui County. .

Officials and officials protect each other. This has been true since ancient times.

They always protect the person in the official position, not the official himself.

"This is a good idea!"

Li Gui reached out and patted Master Song on the shoulder, making the already groveling Master Song look like a bow.

"Never mind!"

"For the sake of your idea, I will spare your life once my second uncle is rescued."

After receiving Li Gui's promise, Master Song burst into tears and burst into tears.

Li Gui ignored him and continued to give instructions:

"Brother Zhu Fu, according to Master Song's method, all the brothers in the city will be incorporated into the rural soldiers, and you will temporarily serve as the guards of the soldiers and horses. If the imperial court sends someone new to serve, he will be killed."

"Let brother Li Yun come back and continue to be the head of the yamen, and all the yamen servants will be filled by his own brothers."

"Since we are going to occupy this Yishui County, we must manage it well. We must gather the people to start repairing the city wall. We must provide enough food and drink and do not treat them harshly."

"Clean up all the foxes and rats in the city. Don't be lenient. All hidden dangers will be eliminated."

"Let people take out all the land deeds in the county government, select out all the original gentry's property, burn them all, collect the refugees, distribute the land, and re-register the land registration."

"Troops must be stationed in every village to prevent the resurgence of squires."

"In the future, the tax collection will be the responsibility of the garrison in each village, and no additional excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes are allowed."

"Let the teams rotate and don't stay in one place for too long."

"Set up a supervisory team to inspect the villages below from time to time. If you find people who are bullying good people, you will deal with them immediately."

"Set up checkpoints everywhere in the county, collect taxes in one place, and pass them throughout the county. The rules are the same as in the cottage."

"Things within the yamen..." Li Gui glanced at Master Song, who was crying and wiping away tears, "I will leave it to Master Song to do. If you do well, you will be rewarded. If you do something wrong, you will be chopped off with a knife."

Master Song, who was waiting next to him, cried even louder after hearing this, but he did not dare to say any words of rejection and could only obey his orders.
