"It's unfair, sir! We are not spies!"

"Sir, we have no idea what you are talking about!"

The county magistrate and county lieutenant who were captured by the soldiers looked at Su Yan with tears on their faces.

"Humph! Did I misunderstand you guys?"

Su Yan looked at them and snorted, then looked at the people behind them.

"Do you think they are Wuhuan spies?"

The two men kneeling on the ground felt relieved when they heard this. These were their people and they would definitely side with them..........

"Sir, I can testify that they are spies!"

The chief clerk stood up and said solemnly

"What!"

The two were stunned for a moment, and then they were furious and said,"How dare you slander us! Sir, don't listen to his nonsense!"

The chief clerk ignored them and turned to look at the others,"You have been oppressed by them for a long time, don't you want to resist?"

His words immediately aroused the emotions of everyone present.

"My Lord! I can testify that they are both spies!"

"My Lord, I also bear witness!"

"grown ups!........"

Several people stood up one after another, testifying against the chief clerk's words.

The faces of the county magistrate and the county lieutenant became paler and paler.

Su Yan smiled when he saw this,"What else do you two have to say?"

The two looked at him with resentment, knowing that it was useless to say anything at this time.

"Come here, take them both away and execute them on the spot!"

Su Yan shouted loudly.

The soldiers quickly carried them both out. After a while, the guards came in and said,"Sir, the two men have been beheaded!"

Everyone's face was stern, and there was fear in their eyes when they looked at Su Yan.

This young county magistrate was so cruel that he killed people without any delay.

Moreover, he also controlled the army, which was now stationed in the city.

It can be said that the entire Liangxiang County was under his control.

Everyone had no intention of resisting and they all lowered their heads.

Seeing this, Su Yan shouted,"Zhao Yue!"

""Sir!"

Zhao Yue stood up and said respectfully

"Liangxiang County is currently lacking a county magistrate, so you will take over the job temporarily. I will report to the governor and then make a decision."

""Yes!"

Zhao Yue excitedly accepted Su Yan's appointment.

From a small staff member to the head of a county, he was soaring to the sky.

He understood that these were all given to him by Su Yan, and all he could do was to offer all his loyalty.

After dealing with these things, Su Yan immediately left Liangxiang County with his army in the afternoon and returned to Zhuo County.

This expedition took nearly half a month, which was neither long nor short, but the gains were really not small.

Thinking of this, Su Yan couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

The troops marched very fast and arrived in Zhuo County soon.

Du Ji had received the news long ago and was welcoming Su Yan at the city gate with a group of officials.

"Respectful lord!"

When Su Yan rode up to him, Du Ji and other officials bowed and said

""No need to be polite!"

Su Yan looked at the officials behind Du Ji and found that in addition to some old faces, there were more new faces.

It seemed that during the time he was away, Du Ji also formally reorganized the Zhuo County government and hired many new people.

Su Yan didn't know what the abilities of these new people were.

But he knew Du Ji's ability, and those who could be appointed by him must be useful talents, so he was relieved.

"Bo Hou, thank you for your hard work!"

Su Yan looked at Du Ji and said

"Everything is for the great cause of the lord, it's not hard!"

Du Ji bowed and smiled.

Su Yan shook his head,"Okay, let's go into the city!"

He gave an order, and the large army behind him immediately followed him into the city.

Du Ji then saw that there were a thousand more people in the team behind him.

And they were more than a thousand Hu people!

"My Lord, this is.......?"

"It doesn't matter. These are the Wuhuan captives I defeated."Su Yan explained,"These people can be kept. I just seized a lot of war horses and plan to expand the cavalry. These people can be kept as free laborers."

Du Ji nodded after understanding and said nothing.

After Su Yan returned to the county government, Du Ji reported to him on the government affairs in the past half month.

Basically, there were no major problems. With Su Yan's reputation, no one dared to make trouble in the county.

Du Ji's decrees were implemented quickly, and the major families also cooperated.

Especially the Zou family.

After listening, Su Yan remembered something, so he said to Du Ji:"Remember to report the battle report this time to the state government."

""Yes."

Du Ji nodded and left.

Not long after he left, Taishi Ci came.

""Sir, I am here to say goodbye."

He hesitated and stated his purpose.

Su Yan was not disappointed at all after hearing this. Instead, he smiled and asked,"Am I not being righteous enough to you?"

Taishi Ci shook his head

"My Lord, I........."

"As soon as I met Ziyi, I felt like a close friend. I beg Ziyi to stay and help me. I am willing to accomplish great things with you!"

Su Yan held his hand and said expectantly

"this........"

Taishi Ci was very hesitant. He wanted to refuse, but when he saw Su Yan's expectant eyes and thought about how good Su Yan was to him, he felt that he couldn't do it.

So, he sighed and said,"Sir, I am willing to stay."

"Really?"

Su Yan's eyes lit up and he looked at him in surprise.

Taishi Ci smiled bitterly and said,"How dare I deceive you, sir? I just ask you to let me go home first and bring my mother here."

"Good! Good! Good!"

Su Yan said three good words in a row, and the whole person was a little excited.

"Ziyi's act of filial piety really makes me admire him! In this way, you can take ten guards with you, and they will be able to protect you all the way."

Su Yan suggested

"How can this be done, sir? No way!"

Taishi Ci was shocked and shook his head.

Su Yan's personal guards were all top-notch fighters, veterans who had experienced hundreds of battles.

But now they were going to disregard Su Yan's own safety for just one person. How could he bear this?

"It's settled, Ziyi, don't refuse, go and come back quickly, and try to bring your mother back as soon as possible!"

Su Yan's face was serious and his tone was heavy.

Taishi Ci was very moved and bowed quickly and said,"Thank you, sir!"

After saying that, he took a step back, looked at Su Yan's serious face, and then bowed deeply.

"Taishi Ci, I greet my lord!"
