I am not Song Qinzong

At the same time, it can be inferred that Cao Cheng really valued Yang Zaixing, and actually went south with him to Lingnan.

Zhao Huan looked at Cao Cheng, who was completely cold, and asked, "Is there a reason why this guy has been pestering Zaixing all this time?"

Yang Zaixing said: "He and I are from the same hometown, and he also has courage, but he is impatient and has been wandering in the green forest.

When I entered Yangzhou, I met Lu Lu by chance, and they kept pestering me, wanting me to join the gang.

If it wasn't for His Highness's help, I'm afraid it was to save my mother, so I had no choice but to obey. "

"Fate from heaven added a wing to the East Palace!" Zhao Huan laughed.

It's not fate.

If it wasn't for Zhao Huan's temporary intention to see Liang Hongyu's archery skills, he would have to miss Yang Zaixing.

As for whether Cao Cheng died in vain, the prince didn't care.

Grass bandits wandered around in the green forest, and I don't know how many lives they killed. Killing them is to eliminate harm for the people.

While chatting, a group of bureaucrats led hundreds of soldiers to the front.

Hey~

While exclaiming, the magistrate of Yangzhou lost his legs and was about to fall to the ground.

Fortunately, the left and right companions had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and they were quickly supported, otherwise it would be appropriate for a king to lose his dignity.

"Chen...Chen... Yangzhou prefect Nie Ping pays homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." After the magistrate bowed down, he stammered.

"I pay homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Officials of all sizes followed suit.

The magistrate was really trembling, his teeth chattering.

Of course, it was not because of Zhao Huan's power, but because of the corpses all over the floor.

Not only him, most of the accompanying civil and military officials and government soldiers were pale and warped.

Among the corpses, those who were stabbed to death by a single shot were actually okay, those who were cut in two by a knife all had liver and intestines dripping all over the ground, which was really bloody.

When have these big-bellied and round-faced bureaucrats seen such a tragic scene?

The only normal high-ranking civil servant is the general judge behind the magistrate.

"The magistrate is not feeling well, so he went back to the government office to rest. Let the general judge Hu Zai handle the matter here." Zhao Huan said lightly.

Nie Ping turned pale with shock, and said hastily, "Your Highness, I just feel a little unwell, and I've gotten used to it now, so I can handle this matter."

The chief official of one place was unable to deal with urgent matters, and was sent aside by the prince. Isn't it going to be over sooner or later?

Therefore, Nie Ping was unwilling.

Zhao Huan ignored him, only looked at Hu Zai, and asked, "This thief Cao Cheng, can Hu Tong know the origin of this thief?"

"Cao Cheng?"

"It's actually him!"

Many civil and military officials were inexplicably surprised.

Obviously, Cao Cheng's popularity in Yangzhou is not low.

Hu Zai said: "Your Highness, this bandit Xiao gathered hundreds of people in the Beigu Mountains of Runzhou. He never plundered the village. He only sailed on the river to do private business.

The inspectors stationed in Yangzhou along the water surface of the river once mobilized a thousand soldiers to suppress him, but he was killed instead.

Since then, the government can't control it, its power has become stronger, and its actions have become more unscrupulous.

But I didn't want to be killed here by His Highness today. "

"I've been on the boat for many days and felt bored. When I went ashore and passed through this forest, I happened to meet him gathering a crowd to use force, so I cut it off."

Seeing Zhao Huan's easy-going behavior, Nie Ping leaned over, licking his face, and said: "Thank you, Prince, for eliminating harm for the people, and for returning the people of this state to a bright future."

"Absurd!" Zhao Huan scolded, "There are only hundreds of bandits in the area, and Yangzhou is so big that it has nothing to do, it's really ridiculous!

I have decided to play to the imperial court, depriving you of your official position! "

Nie Ping became unsteady for a moment, and said: "Your Highness, please listen to my servant's explanation!"

Explain what a fart, Zhao Huan just ignored him.

The magistrate is indeed a civil official, but as usual, he is also in charge of the local army, so he should be proficient in both civil and military affairs.

Besides, if he doesn't understand military affairs, don't the generals at all levels under him also understand?

It is absurd to let the thieves kill the inspector.

The inspections along the Yangtze River are not inspections in a certain place, but the real officials of the imperial court who have the seventh rank.

The fact that the officials ordered by the imperial court were killed and the local government did nothing shows how faint Nie Ping was.

Zhao Huan looked at Hu Zai and asked: "I want to suppress the rest of the evil, can the general judge teach me?"

Hu Zai said: "At this time, the thieves in his nest don't know his death, so they should send troops straight to their original stronghold. As long as they see Cao Cheng's head, they will surely smash it."

Zhao Huan asked again: "What if he escaped from the water?"

Hu Zai said: "The inspection department has ships, and the Yangzhou government can also send ships and soldiers. As long as one or two generals are sent to suppress them, it is not difficult to destroy the thieves."

"Good!" Zhao Huan nodded slightly, and said: "Zhou Ang, lead a hundred troops, and then transfer a thousand local troops from Yangzhou to attack Beigu Mountain immediately and wipe out the rest of Cao Cheng's troops.

Yang Zaixing's deputy, Li Cheng urged the local navy to prevent them from fleeing.

Hu Zai, you are temporarily joining the military to suppress thieves, but you can dispatch anyone who is available. "

"Here." Hu Zai agreed.

Involuntarily, many Yangzhou bureaucrats cast envious and jealous eyes on Hu Zai.

All military affairs, money and grain, household registration, tax and labor, and prison lawsuits can be adjudicated, and whether they can be adjudicated can be executed by signing a letter with the guard. This is a general judgment.

In addition, whether the officials of the military state office are good or not, and whether their duties are revised or abolished, they can be assassinated to hear, so the general judgment is also called Jianzhou.

The rank is not high, and the power is not small.

However, a general judgment is a general judgment, not the chief officer.

At this time, Hu Zai has entered the Prince's Fayan, and he is afraid that he is going to become a great success.
