Chapter 312 Lord of Yangzhou! (first update)
In just one night, the atmosphere of the entire Yangzhou City changed completely.

Heaviness, depression, anxiety, fear...

Various emotions are present in every corner of Yangzhou.

The originally bustling market street now hardly sees many people, even if someone walks by, they are in a hurry, as if someone is urging behind them.

on the street.

Teams of officers and soldiers patrolled back and forth.

They stared at everyone on the road, and if they found anything unusual, they immediately rushed forward and tortured them in various ways.

If you don't answer well, or if you resist, just take it back!

Everyone in Yangzhou City is in danger, for fear that they will be taken away.

In a three-story restaurant.

Where it was usually noisy, now all conversations were conducted with caution.

"Have you heard? Mr. Li from the household department is dead! It was a miserable death, with more than ten knives in his body, and the blood flowed all over the ground!"

"Master Wang from the official department is also dead! But I heard that there is no wound on his body, and it doesn't look like he was poisoned, which is very strange!"

"The same is true for Mr. Sun from the Ministry of Rites. He also didn't have a wound on his body, and he died inexplicably."

"Overnight, dozens of adults were killed. Who did it?"

"Hey, I heard people say that Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling did it!"

"Come on! I know those two people, they are just two punks, how can they have such abilities?"

"Of course the two of them don't have this ability, but the people behind them do! I heard that they are not actually the ones who cheated on foreign enemies. The two of them are just a cover for being pushed out. There are other people who really cheated on foreign enemies!"

"Who is this guy?"

"I don't know, but many people speculate that this person is probably from the Demon Sect!"

"Demon Gate?"

Someone whispered for a while, then seemed to think of something, and looked around quickly.

Seeing that no one noticed them, they felt relieved.

The horror of the demon gate has already penetrated into everyone's heart.

Even just mentioning it can make people tremble with fear.

"Demon Gate?"

Fang Mu smiled softly.

"This scapegoat is pretty good. As long as it is the culprit, just push it all over. I guarantee that [-]% of people will believe it!"

He was sitting by the window on the third floor, and when he looked down, a group of officers and soldiers happened to pass by.

The officer leading the team looked up and saw Fang Mu on the third floor.

His face changed instantly.

"let's go!"

"But, here we haven't..."

"This place has been searched! Hurry up!"

"But, my lord..."

"obey orders!"

Looking at the cold-faced officer, the soldier did not dare to say anything and shrank his head.

The group trotted away.

"what?"

Fang Mu frowned slightly.

After one night, his portrait should have been circulated long ago, and the captain who led the team clearly recognized him, but he ran away.

Want to gather more people?

Sweep away your thoughts.

Fang Mu followed the leader, but found that he had no intention of doing so. He continued his patrol as if he had never seen him before.

"interesting."

Fang Mu smiled slightly, he probably guessed something.

It didn't take long.

A person who hid himself in a hood came to the third floor of the restaurant.

He looked around and found nothing unusual, then quietly walked up to Fang Mu.

"Lord."

"sit down."

Fang Mu pointed to the opposite side.

That one sat down, and he raised his head, revealing his face.

It was Yu Chisheng, the governor of Yangzhou.

"How was last night?"

Fang Mu asked lightly while drinking the wine.

"very smooth!"

Yuchi Sheng had unconcealable excitement on his face, and he lowered his voice and said.

"Whether it is the Yuwen family or the royal family, their foundations in Yangzhou City have been greatly damaged. In a short period of time, Yangzhou City is basically in my hands. Next, we only need to place our people in the relevant positions, even if the new Once the appointment is made, he will definitely be dismissed!"

The general manager has a certain right to appoint, but the higher-ranking officials, even if the predecessor is dead, only the imperial court has the right to appoint.

"very good!"

Fang Mu nodded and asked again.

"Do you have that many people under your command?"

"Don't worry, my lord! A long time ago, I recruited quite a few children from poor families, and now is the time to use them!"

Yu Chisheng smiled confidently.

"Although these people are not particularly numerous, we only need to place masters in relatively important positions, and the whole of Yangzhou will be under our control!"

"At that time, it doesn't matter even if the emperor rearranges the officials, as long as we are willing, all the unstable factors can be erased in an instant!"

Rearranging the officials is not a simple matter, and it will take ten days and a half months at least. In that time, Yu Chisheng has already built Yangzhou City into a monolith!

Although officials have the right to issue orders, what is the use of these officials if their subordinates disobey them or even do nothing at all?

"What about the rest of the officials?"

Fang Mu asked again.

He and Yu Wenhuaji, or Yuchi Sheng, all chose to attack, targeting officials who were loyal to Yuwen's family or the royal family and had relatively important positions.

Some officials who are not so important, and those outside the three forces of the royal family, the Yuwen family and the Yuchi family, are basically fine.

Yangzhou City still relies on these officials to maintain order. If too many officials die at once, the entire Yangzhou City will really be in chaos!
That's not what they want.

The current Yangzhou City looks chaotic, but more people are chaotic, and the basic order is still there.

"For those people, I plan to win over some of them. Some of them have good abilities. If they want to manage Yangzhou City, they can provide a lot of help." Yu Chisheng thought for a while and said seriously.

"can!"

Fang Mu nodded.

"But are you sure you can win them over?"

"My lord, please rest assured!"

Yu Chisheng smiled confidently.

"He who understands the current affairs is a hero! Now the situation in Yangzhou City is very clear, as long as they are not stupid, they will know what to do is the most correct choice!"

After a pause, a cold light flashed in the corner of his eyes.

"If they really don't know what is right, then they can only accept the price of being wrong!"

"Very good! Yuchi, it's okay to cherish a talent, but if this talent can't be used by me, then it's time to cut it off! It's absolutely not a woman's benevolence!"

Fang Mu stood up, walked to Yu Chisheng's side, and patted him on the shoulder.

"I'll give you three days. If you can completely solve the problems in Yangzhou City, I guarantee that you will become the Lord of Yangzhou!"

"Lord of Yangzhou?"

An astonishing light burst out from Yu Chisheng's eyes.

"My lord, my subordinates must do their best!"
