Why marry someone when you are reborn?

It was not until now, after thinking it over carefully, that Xu Yun realized that the advice he gave to Xiao Zheyue was not good enough.

At least not comprehensively enough.

In fact, at this juncture, arresting people is secondary. The most important thing is the people's hearts.

The most important reason why the Spark Army was able to conquer the world with unstoppable force and win victories with overwhelming force is that it has won the hearts of the people.

And gave hope to everyone.

At this time, the Xinghuo Army was about to build its capital and formally establish a country to compete with the Yu Dynasty in the south.

At first, the Xinghuo Army only fought against bandits and foreign tribes such as the Xianbei. Later, after it became stronger, it began to declare war on the Yu Dynasty, starting from Yanmen Pass and fighting all the way.

However, the reason why Yu Dynasty moved the capital south to Jinling was not because of the Xinghuo Army, but because of foreign invasion.

The Emperor Guangxuan, the last emperor of the Yu Dynasty, issued an order. He was old, and Chang'an City was too cold. He had long wanted to go to the warmer and more pleasant south. The invasion of foreign tribes just gave him such a reasonable opportunity.

Today's Yu Dynasty has been renamed Nan Yu within the Northern Spark Army.

After the Xinghuo Army established its capital and decided on a country name, there would surely be a day when they would march south to confront Nan Yu.

The more this is the case, the more the Spark Army needs to win the hearts of the people at this time.

Only in this way can he maintain this unstoppable momentum.

Xu Yun once read a sentence that said, "Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it."

This sentence is actually very suitable for the fate of a country. The people are like water. With the help and support of the people, it is like sailing with the current, fast and stable.

However, if we lose the support of the people, or even make them rebel, it will be like encountering rough seas. If we are not careful, the ship will be overturned and destroyed.

Through Aunt Deng's condition, Xu Yun realized how flawed his idea was.

This would certainly allow us to catch the mastermind behind the scenes, but we would also lose a lot of things.

You know, even if you explain it later, the people may not believe it. But the execution ground was robbed today, which made them feel uneasy and even doubt the strength of the Spark Army.

Thinking of this, Xu Yun couldn't sit still anymore.

She pondered for a moment, but finally got up hurriedly and went to find Xiao Zheyue.

Xu Yun was not sure whether Xiao Zheyue had thought of this, but if the final effect was not good and the superiors blamed her, then she would definitely be to blame.

Xu Yun didn't want his career to be blocked before it even started and he would already have left a bad impression on his superiors.

Xiao Zheyue had just seen off County Magistrate Zhou and was able to sit down and have a sip of water when he heard Xu Yun coming.

She put down the cup of water and asked someone to let Xu Yun in.

After Xu Yun entered the room, he did not intend to exchange pleasantries and said directly: "I see that many people are worried about what we did today."

Xiao Zheyue's face was calm. She raised her hand and pinched her brows. Her tone was also calm: "These are only temporary. Once we get something useful, we can bring all the people back. The ringleader will be executed."

The words "execution" made Xu Yun understand what Xiao Zheyue meant.

This time, it did have an impact on the people's hearts, but compared to this loss, she cared more about whether she could catch the person behind the scenes. Moreover, she would find a way to make up for this loss afterwards.

Xiao Zheyue looked at Xu Yun, and the corners of his mouth seemed to curl up: "Ms. Xu is still too young and has little experience. She didn't consider it thoroughly before, but since I'm going to use her, I've naturally considered it."

After a pause, she said, "No matter how disappointed I am, I won't be more disappointed than with Nan Yu."

In comparison, at least the Spark Army is reliable.

Xu Yun realized that he was being ridiculed.

But Xu Yun did not feel embarrassed. Instead, he realized his own shortcomings.

Therefore, she bowed deeply to Xiao Zheyue solemnly: "Thank you, Miss Xiao, for clearing up my doubts."

It can be said that I have truly seen some things about officials.

Because of this, Xu Yun will have to pay close attention to this matter.

In fact, not long after she came out of Xiao Zheyue's place, Xiao Zheyue left the county government office on horseback and went out of the city.

It was obvious that Xiao Zheyue was going to meet up with his subordinates who were robbing the execution ground.

And if nothing goes wrong, there will be results before tonight.

Sure enough, in the evening, the people sent by Xiao Zheyue captured two fugitives.

The two fugitives were brought back after being knocked unconscious. But after they came back, before they entered the city, the guards at the city gate struck the gong and shouted at the top of their lungs: "The fugitives have been caught!"

At this moment, the people became excited again.

Although only two were captured, this was good news and it showed the strength of the Spark Army.

At this time, many people have begun to excuse the Spark Army: "It happened suddenly in the daytime, so it's normal that they didn't react. In fact, those people hid it too well!"

"The devil is one foot high, the way is ten feet higher! The Spark Army is still more powerful! Even if they were kidnapped, we can still catch them back!"

Xu Yun listened and watched quietly, feeling deeply moved.

In this way, one or two were caught a day, and after eight days, all the escaped prisoners were caught.

No one asked why the people who robbed the execution ground were not caught.

Everyone assumed that those who robbed the execution ground were beheaded.

After all, there will definitely be a fight during the process of snatching the prisoner!

Once again, on the city gate tower, Xiao Zheyue looked at the people below, the execution platform, and the even more indignant people.

Xu Yun also felt it.

After this small setback, people's morale was not damaged at all, but seemed to have become even more determined.

Nowadays, the smiles on everyone's face are almost as bright as those on New Year's Day.

Xu Yun couldn't help but look at Xiao Zheyue a few more times.

Then I thought: She is worthy of being Xiao Zheyue, female official Xiao, and the legitimate daughter of the Xiao family.

Xu Yun had a little admiration, but more of a yearning—

After Xiao Zheyue gave the order, the executioner started the execution.

With one cut, blood splattered.

The head fell to the ground, rolled a few times and was covered with dust. The soldiers grabbed it by the hair, tied it to the corpse and hung it on the city wall.

A dozen ropes, a dozen bodies.

If the wind is strong enough, the corpses will even be blown around.

But the people only cursed and rejoiced, no one sympathized with these termites. Instead, they were only happy because the termites were caught.

Especially those families who got the pension they were entitled to, cried loudly - when they didn't get the pension, maybe they could still deceive themselves, in case the person was not dead.

But once you get it, all that's left is grief.

Not only for the family, but also for one's future life and past hardships.

At this point, the county town's affairs were over. Xiao Zheyue was leaving too.

Before Xiao Zheyue left, she sent someone to ask Xu Yun whether he wanted to leave with her.

Xu Yun still refused, and then went to see Xiao Zheyue off in person and thanked Xiao Zheyue. After all, she and Xiao Zheyue learned a lot from this matter.

Xiao Zheyue simply lifted the curtain and said calmly, "When you get to Kyoto, take my letter and go find the Jingzhao Yin."
