Songjiang Prefecture.

Wan Shenji looked at the silent magistrate Wei, who put down the letter and was silent, and he felt a little suspicious. The letter from County Magistrate Li and the five hundred soldiers he brought could really make the prefect make such a risky decision, and send thousands of elite soldiers guarding the city to go out to quell the rebellion?

Just when he felt that he could not even convinced himself, Wei Liang finally reacted and said slowly: "This matter is very important. I think I should ask Liao Dutong what he meant before he could do it." As he said that, without looking at Wan Shenji's appearance, he called someone and asked him to go to the military camp in the city and called Liao Qinghui. Since the chaos in Jiangnan, Liao Qinghui and his troops under his command had been invited by Wei Liang to guard the city.

After a while, Liao Dutong, who was fully armored, came in a clang. As soon as he saw Wei Liang, he said anxiously: "Magistrate Wei, what happened?" He said that, and glanced at Wan Shenji again. The hundreds of soldiers he brought were still blocked outside the city.

Wei Liang nodded, then expressed the meaning of Li Ling's letter, and then asked: "Tong Liao, you have had a confrontation with those rebels. Do you think you can take the initiative to quell the rebellion?"

Liao Qinghui pondered for a moment and said with his head high: "If the rebels in Jiangnan are really capable now, I am really sure to quickly wipe out all the rebels in my Songjiang Prefecture..."

"It's not just Songjiang Prefecture, but also the chaotic troops from all over the south of the Yangtze River. You need to go to Jinling to resolve the local difficulties." Wei Liang hurriedly added, which made Liao Qinghui frown: "From the military newspapers from all over the country, there are hundreds of thousands of rebellions this time. Even if they are all mobs, I'm afraid that it will not be able to pacify all of them with the three thousand soldiers in my mountain camp."

Wan Shenji quickly explained: "Tong Liao Dutong, my elders mean to take the Shan character camp as an opportunity to help other surrounding prefectures quickly quell the chaos, and then piece together the official army and turn it into a whole. In this way, the chaos can be calmed by the official army in Jiangnan."

"Well, this is a way. In terms of combat, the rioters who were still farmers and idle men two days ago could not be the opponent of my official army." Liao Qinghui nodded in agreement on the matter, but then raised a little concern, "But in this way, the time it takes is extremely long. I am afraid I will not be able to come back in less than two or three months. If there are rebels attacking the city in the middle, can you really defend the troops you brought?"

After pausing, he added: "Also, at this time, there are still internal supporters of the Luotian Sect in the palace. It is difficult to guarantee that they will not pass on the message, which will pose a greater threat to Songjiang. Master Wei, these hidden dangers must be observed."

"I understand, but I know more clearly that if the chaos is not quelled as soon as possible, once the riots become larger, the situation in Jiangnan will become more and more uncontrollable. Can we really defend it at that time?" Wei Liang said worriedly. His and Li Ling's ideas coincided with this.

Although Jiangnan is now in chaos due to the rise of riots, the crisis has just begun. The number of riots is not large, and it has not yet reached the point of siege. In addition, the riots lack the necessary communication between the various riots and cannot form unified command. It is really a mess of sand.

But once they are given enough time, as they continue to grow, attack some county towns, seize the city's food, grass, weapons, population, etc., their strength will increase by a geometric multiple. By then, they will be confident, have contacts, and have combat experience. If the government army wants to win more with less, it will be countless times more difficult than now.

Wan Shenji looked at Magistrate Wei curiously again. Did he actually agree with his own master so much? Or did the relationship between them really reach the point of being inseparable from each other and having full trust? Although he had known that the two had a teacher-student relationship, this kind of relationship would have surpassed the vast majority of teachers and students.

No wonder the adults were so sure when making arrangements. Although they were separated from each other, their hearts were in one place!

With Wei Liang's statement, Liao Qinghui also paid more attention to the situation in front of him. In fact, as an officer, he naturally hoped to lead his troops to make achievements. In the past, Jiangnan had no chance to be peaceful, but now it is in chaos. Isn't the opportunity here?

However, he still hesitated: "Master Wei, your concerns are indeed reasonable. But can they really protect the safety of the city?"

"They just defeated the three thousand rebels outside Huating County with just one thousand new recruits, so I thought that if they just insisted, these five hundred people would be enough. As for the hidden dangers of the Luotian Sect in the city you are worried about, I have decided to remove them first. When this is extraordinary, I don't care whether there is any wrongdoing. I will take down the suspect first and then slowly identify it."

While reading the letter just now, Wei Liang had already come up with some countermeasures. At this time, Liao Qinghui nodded repeatedly to agree: "What Wei Magistrate is considering is that I have wanted to do this a long time ago. Some people are very suspicious and must be taken down!"

"Then please ask the soldiers of Shanzi Camp to help me again and arrest all the people on this list, but if anyone dares to resist, they will be killed!" Wei Liang also showed his courage at this time. As he said that, he handed over a list that had been prepared.

Liao Qinghui took the sweep, clasped his fists again, and then turned around and left again. Seeing this, Wan Shenji was even more energetic. He knew that the matter had been settled and he would take the initiative to stabilize the rear for Shanziying.

Wei Liang smiled at him: "Sir Wan, you go outside the city and bring the people in. When Liao Dutong comes back, you can hand over the safety of our city. "

"Yes, the emperor will do his best to protect the city of peace!" Wan Shenji immediately bowed his fists and replied loudly.

On this day, several incidents occurred in the city of Songjiang Prefecture, which was originally quite stable. They were originally stationed at the military camp and the city gates, and at most several troops were sent to inspect the streets and alleys of the city, and suddenly launched a large number of troops and entered several famous wealthy families in the city, capturing all the men, women, young and old in their families.

At that time, some wealthy slaves who were used to being arrogant and good fortune were still waiting to argue and resist, but they were cut off by the officers who led the team without saying a few serious words. In an instant, all the people were silent, and no one dared to say anything more, so they could only be bound by obediently.

While capturing these guys, there were soldiers outside, loudly saying to the people who came and watched, that these people might be the rebellious identity of Luo Tian Sect. In this way, naturally no one dared to discuss it anymore, and most of them even fled in panic and did not dare to watch the fun anymore.

In just two days, forty-two rich families in the city were broken into the army, which caused quite a stir in the city. In the eyes of many people, many of them ended up like this, probably not necessarily related to the Luotian Sect, but they were disrespectful to the prefect these days and were liquidated.

Although the prefect took down Yang Tongzhi and other subordinates a few days ago, he had truly controlled the power of the government office, but in fact, his prestige was not very strong in the prefecture. After all, he had just arrived and had no foundation here. Many wealthy families in the local area might not take such a prefect seriously.

There is even the folk saying that heavy rains a few days ago may cause damage to the river embankment. When the prefect wanted to raise some silver from the rich people in the city to strengthen the embankment, they pushed them back. Some people even didn't even go to the banquet set up by the prefect. This was clearly not giving him any face.

I thought that the prefect could only swallow this tone, or it would have to wait a few years before it could fight back. But in the end, in just one month, the revenge from the prefect came. The corpses of the wealthy slaves who were killed on the spot were enough to illustrate the problem. And those self-righteous rich families, if they want to go home this time, they will probably have to pay a lot of blood.

Of course, these are just the shallow views of the people. For those who have been officials and have retired and returned to their hometowns, some people who have seen it have seen more from this change. I am afraid that this time the prefect will bet on everything. Not only will they completely grasp the city and become a true existence, but they will also take the opportunity to make a rare contribution in this chaos that swept across the entire Jiangnan.

And amid this discussion and uneasiness, the Shanzi Camp, which took down all the suspicious people, officially left the city, and the guards of the city fell on the five hundred new recruits brought by Wan Shenji.

On the night when Shanziying left the city, a carrier pigeon flew straight into the sky. Three days later, the pigeon spread the news to a certain stronghold and fell into Zhao Chenghuang's hands.

After reading the concise and concise text on the paper, Zhao Chenghuang's face, which was a little proud, instantly turned gloomy: "A official army actually escaped from the bureau? Wei Liang, this time I really underestimated him. I have such courage to release the defensive power of Songjiang Mansion!"

Although he was talking about Wei Liang's name, he knew better in his heart that the root cause of this consequence was Li Ling from Huating. It was this guy who inexplicably formed an army, which disrupted all the layout of Songjiang.

What made him even more gritted his teeth was that this disruptor was still the target he had always wanted to eliminate. But Li Ling was lucky. He had been unable to kill him in the southwest for many times, and now he has become a real big concern.
