"Criminal Chen Yan, I pay my respects to the prefect." After taking Zhang Ju and others down, Chen Xianwei came to Chen Yaotian's side, with a respectful expression on his face, he clasped his fists and saluted.

Chen Yaotian was still discussing with Xi Zhicai how to deal with Chen Yan.In fact, Chen Yaotian doesn't like Chen Yan very much. This person can betray Zhang Ju who treats him well, which shows that he can maximize his own interests. If someone can give more in the future, it is inevitable that he will not come out against him.But he does have meritorious service, if he is not rewarded, he will be left with an unknown reward and punishment, how can this convince the public?In the end, Xi Zhicai suggested in desperation: "My lord, why don't you let him go to Juyang (the county seat of Shanggu County) together, and then give him a spare job." Chen Yaotian nodded, that's the only way to go.

"What is the crime of General Chen? Your Excellency captured Zhang Ju and his henchmen, not only not guilty, but also meritorious."

"Your Majesty is too proud. Zhang Ju and others made trouble in Fan Shang. The crime is just a little bit of effort. It depends on your lord's wisdom and martial arts. Only by supervising the battle here can we catch them all." I have to say that Chen Yan is a smart man. I know that high-profile arrogance will attract people's dislike.Those few words just now were profoundly righteous, very modest, and minimized his contribution.

"General Chen is humble. Without you, I'm afraid I'd still be surrounded by rebels at this time. Such a credit, I naturally know it. Chen Yan listened to the order. You caught the traitor and protected the official. I ordered you to follow. By the side, I will make another appointment after arriving in Juyang."

"Thank you, Lord Prefect." Chen Yan saluted again, thanking him happily.

"Yan Liang listened to the order and ordered you to lead the guards outside the city, follow Chen Yan, and take down all the officials in the city who oppressed the people on weekdays. Remember that when arresting evil officials, you must not disturb the people or move the people. Listen, kill on the spot."

Today is a long day and a day of fear for the common people in Lai.At first, they hid at home after hearing the clash of weapons and shouts of killing near Nanmen Street, not knowing what happened.After calming down, not long after, there were many soldiers shuttled on the street, accompanied by faint shouts of killing, and it was not until night that it completely calmed down.

In the early morning of the next day, the people who had been in fear opened the door of their house, looked around and saw nothing unusual, and breathed a sigh of relief.Some bold people left their homes and wandered about the city.As soon as someone moved, life continued as usual.It's just that they don't know what happened yesterday.

On the third day, a group of soldiers came to the bulletin board and posted a notice on it.After a while, it was surrounded by people passing by.After reading the announcement, a few literate gentlemen explained to the surrounding people: "Everyone, our newly appointed prefect passed here yesterday and learned that many officials have harmed the people, and they have all been arrested. Execution ground asks to beheaded." Hearing such news, the surrounding people immediately whispered to each other, discussing one after another.

"Your Majesty is such a good official. He wiped out the bad officials as soon as he came. We will definitely be able to live a good life under his rule in the future." An old man said.

"Isn't that right! I have seen the prefect with my own eyes, and even talked to him! The prefect is amiable and has no pretensions. Compared with those dog officials who only know how to squeeze us, I don't know how many times better." It was the kind-hearted commoner who reminded Chen Yaotian yesterday, who later learned of Chen Yaotian's identity from nowhere.

"I heard that on the way our prefect came to take office, he saw many refugees homeless, so he collected them all the way, distributed food and moved them to Shanggu. Later, due to the large number of people in the team, there was not enough food, and the prefect did not abandon them. Instead of sending them down, we ran around to raise food and tide over the difficulties together. We are looking forward to a great official!" said a scholar who was drinking in a restaurant yesterday afternoon.

"This brother is right. I've heard about it. The prefect is not only good to the people, he is also an all-rounder with both civil and military skills. Now the master not only worships Cai Yicai, the great scholar of the world, as his teacher, but also creates his own It appears as a word that is widely circulated in the world today. When the Lord took office in the north, he met thousands of Wuhuan cavalry. I think everyone has heard of the strength of the Wuhuan cavalry. And the Lord led his men to improvise a thousand people The team insisted on repelling them, and beheaded the leader of the Wuhuan cavalry. From this, it can be seen that you have extraordinary talents in literature and martial arts." Another scholar said.

"I heard that the prefect will go to the execution ground in person at noon. I'll take a good seat first, so that I can see your honor!" After the man finished speaking, he pushed aside the crowd and ran towards the execution ground.

Why is Chen Yaotian's deeds being widely circulated here?In fact, this is just a stratagem of Xi Zhicai. He called some militiamen yesterday and ordered them to spread the news about Chen Yaotian everywhere, and use the power of public opinion to achieve certain goals.So far, the strategy appears to have been quite successful.

Near noon, Chen Yaotian personally led the personal guards to escort those evil officials to the execution ground.At this time, the execution ground was surrounded by common people. They saw that the officials who were full of crimes were locked in cages, and they were no longer as domineering as they used to bully them. They were so excited that they made way for the team to pass.

Chen Yaotian sat upright on the prison stage, and all the prisoners knelt under the stage.The people below pushed each other and were in chaos.After waiting for a while, Xi Zhi stepped forward and reminded: "My lord, it's noon!" Chen Yaotian nodded, picked up the order arrow on the table, threw it on the ground, and said: "The executioner obeys the order, cut..." After hearing the order, the executioner raised his knife and dropped their heads, cutting off all their heads.

The matter came to an end, and Chen Yaotian led the team to continue northward.After this incident, Chen Yaotian was no longer in the mood to inspect, he only hoped to go to Juyang soon, and then the electors would replace these officials who deprived the people of their admiration.When he was at the gate of the city, he was greeted by many people in the city.

"The people here are very respectful to the lord! Zhicai is here to congratulate the lord." After hearing what Xi Zhicai said, Chen Yaotian laughed and scolded: "It's not your fault, you called the militia out yesterday afternoon Do you think I don't know about promoting me?"

"That's also my lord, you are wise and mighty, and most people don't have the capital to show off!" I have to say that people have two sides, and it's only the always prudent Xizhi who can say such silly words.
