Yu Hongwen turned pale with shock, "Xiao Yan! Although I am a prisoner, there has not been a joint trial by the three divisions, so you can't kill me?"

Xiao Yan said word by word: "You are just a criminal of the fourth rank, if you kill it, you will kill it!"

Wang Baili walked up to Yu Hongwen, the sharp blade in his hand was shining under the sun, reflecting a gloomy cold light, "Yu Hongwen, in the next life, you will be reincarnated into a good family, and you must never mess with such a big man as Champion Hou again! Give you a ride!"

Yu Hongwen was terrified, his legs trembling uncontrollably, "No...no...I can't die...I want to see the Three Emperors..."

The knife has fallen, is there another chance for him!
A large head flew up with the momentum, and a cavity of hot blood sprayed out.

The closest one was Steward Qiu, his whole body was stained red with blood, and he fainted to death because of his panic.

Wang Baili kept on doing nothing, and raised his knife again. Steward Qiu turned from fainting to real death. He didn't feel any pain yet, so it was a blessing in disguise.

"Master Hou, it's a good thing that the next official did not disgrace his life! The death row prisoner who tried to escape has been beheaded!"

Wang Baili's clothes and face were inevitably stained with blood, and he looked hideous.

Xiao Yan clapped his hands in satisfaction, "Not bad! Very good! Lord Ben Hou remembers you! If anyone dares to embarrass you because of this matter! You can report the name of Lord Ben Hou! If anyone doesn't open their eyes, Ben Hou Lord will definitely bring these lake bandit remnants to justice!"

This is to tell Wang Baili in disguise that whoever dares to dwell on today's matter will be a remnant of the lake bandits and will be beheaded!
This move is fearless and not overbearing!

Be fearless and not arrogant!

This is dominance and arrogance based on strength!
Wang Baili firmly believed in this. Today's action was regarded as a vote of honor for him, and the price involved was not insignificant. After all, from today onwards, the Third Prince's faction was offended to death.

From now on, you have to hold on tightly to the thigh of the champion Hou, or you won't know how to die.

Wang Baili understood Xiao Yan's meaning, and he smiled happily: "My subordinate——no, my subordinates must follow Lord Hou's instruction!"

Now that something happened, the butler who killed Yu Hongwen and the third prince stood up, and the prestige of the champion Hou Xiaoyan was further established.

There are various speculations in the market, some say that the third prince will definitely retaliate, some say that Jin Yiwei will definitely save face, and some say that the imperial court may blame Champion Hou for this incident, etc., and so on.

However, all expectations did not happen.

The calm inside and outside the capital was like water, without any ripples.

When Yu Hongwen dies, he dies. He's just a dog's leg.

The third prince's butler was killed, but he didn't say anything, which seemed very unusual.

People who don't know what's going on inside think that the champion Hou is so powerful that he completely suppresses the third prince, so that the third prince dare not take any action.

Anyone with a little brain knows that a storm is brewing, just wait for an opportunity, and the storm will break out!

After being delayed in the capital for a few days, before returning to Suzhou, Xiao Yan found an opportunity to meet Princess Ning Ruolan, and then rushed to Suzhou with people.

When they came, they rode on two horses, with five hundred warriors at the rear, and when they returned, they combined into one, with 350 and eight golden guards accompanying them. The whole team can be said to be mighty.

"Master Hou, there is one thing that I don't know if I should say it or not?"

Zhang Yi said suddenly during the household affairs.

He and Liu Yuan, who were involved in the criminal affairs, were all begged by Xiao Yan.

Originally, there was a vacancy for the magistrate of Huzhou, Xiao Yan wanted to recommend one of them, but unfortunately, it was only the seventh rank, which was too low, and the magistrate was the fourth rank, the difference in rank between the two was too great.

Like Xiao Yan himself, the speed of becoming an official and becoming a noble is like riding a rocket, others must not even think about it.

The ministers objected, and the good Ning Shizheng also opposed it.

The minister's opinion in this regard is to let Zhang Yi and Liu Yuan be promoted by half a level, that is, from the seventh rank to the sixth rank.

However, in the end, for Xiao Yan's sake, Ning Shizheng added half a level to the two of them, becoming the sixth rank.

The candidates for the prefect of Huzhou are yet to be determined. Zhang Yi will serve as the deputy magistrate of Huzhou prefecture with Zheng Liupin, and Liu Yuan will serve as the general judge of Huzhou prefecture.

According to the common sense, the rank of Tongzhi is the grade of the fifth grade. It is a bit low for Zhang Yi to be the grade of the sixth grade.

If you do well, you will be promoted after a few years, and vice versa, if you don't do well, then you can change someone!
There is also a reason why the imperial court's officials were able to agree to such a configuration.

But Xiao Yan is different, the prefect of Suzhou is the fourth rank, and he is appointed as the magistrate with the high position of the third rank, which is a real high match.

Xiao Yan smiled, "Zhang Yi, just tell me if you have anything to say."

Zhang Yi: "Master Hou, the third prince's temperament has always been arrogant and domineering, and revenge will be revenged. This time he suffered a big loss, but he didn't respond. The subordinates are worried that he must be up to some conspiracy! Master Hou must be careful ah!"

Liu Yuan also echoed a few words.

Xiao Yan secretly praised, these two people have been in the court for several years, their visions are different, it is correct to bring them out.

"I don't know this Marquis, but the soldiers have come to cover up the water and the soil, and the Taihu Lake bandits have been eradicated. His reliance is nothing more than the army he secretly surrendered to, as well as the Japanese pirates in the East China Sea. This Marquis has his own way to deal with it!"

Liu Yuan showed admiration, "Master Hou is a young hero, with few enemies and many enemies, my subordinates will admire you!"

Zhang Yi was full of excitement, "Subordinates and Liu Yuan have wasted a few years, and it is really a blessing to be able to follow the Ming Lord in their thirties!"

After speaking, the two men knelt down and bowed a few times.

Xiao Yan pulled the two of them together, "This Marquis is still the order of the imperial court, it is better not to say such things as the Ming Lord!"

The faces of Zhang Yi and Zhang Yi changed slightly, and they hurriedly said: "Master Hou, half of Daning's territory has been eaten away by Beiliang, and the imperial court is becoming more and more decaying. It is nowhere in sight to unify the country, only you..."

Xiao Yan laughed, and said: "I know your intentions now! The most important thing right now is to manage Huzhou well for me."

The two of them heard the meaning of the words, and then they smiled happily, "Don't worry, Lord Hou, I promise to help you manage Huzhou smoothly! Even if the Ministry of Officials re-sends a new magistrate, the subordinates will make him a puppet." !"

Xiao Yan patted the shoulders of the two, "I believe that you have this ability!"

It will take at least a period of time for the vacant post of prefect of Huzhou to be confirmed. As for taking up the post, it will take a lot of time, at least one or two months. By then, the Huzhou prefecture will have changed.
