As soon as he entered Ruyang County, Qu Yin arrived.

Sun Ce did not see him immediately and asked him to wait outside the camp. The time of Mao was over and the weather was getting hotter, so he decided to camp and rest. He knew that Qu Yin was nominally greeting him, but in fact he complained. Others were in Pingyu, but he knew the situation in Ruyang very clearly, and news would be delivered every day. Ordinary matters would be delayed by one or two days, and urgent matters could be transmitted to his ears almost half a day.

Xinpi never returns. The two hundred knights he brought were not respectful to Yuan Yao. At first, he lived honestly near the Yuan family cemetery. Later, he gradually became lazy and found a place to live in Ruyang City. He sent a few people to Dianmao every day, and the rest wandered around the city.

Most of the two hundred knights were Hu people from Youzhou. They were barbaric by nature and had a custom that was incompatible with those of the Central Plains. They envy the wealth of the people of Ruyang, but they didn’t have much money in their pockets, and conflicts were inevitable. However, they were crowded with power, with swords in their hands and support from the Yuan family, which soon became a disaster for Ruyang, causing the family and dogs to remain uneasy.

Sun Ce had expected this day, otherwise he would not have kept these people. If the magistrate of Qu County was not really helpless, he would not have been so polite. Last time he came to Ruyang to attend Yuan Shu's funeral, the magistrate of Qu County did not even show his face, just pretending that Sun Ce was not the man.

It is impolite to come but not go. Since you are here to ask me now, I cannot say that I can meet you just by meeting you. I have to let you see my aloofness.

The red sun was like fire, and although he stood under the shade of trees, he was sweating profusely. Qu Yin and a group of officials watched Sun Ce's camp form, and saw that most of the soldiers were hiding in tents to avoid the hottest time of noon, but could not walk away, for fear that Sun Ce would summon him at any time. He came early and didn't even eat breakfast. When the aroma of lunch came from the camp, they all roared in the intestines.

But no one invited them to dinner, and there was no one who greeted them.

It was not until the evening that Venus was exposed to the sun, and her clothes were wet and dry. Qu Yin, who had received the order, entered the camp and came to Sun Ce. He had been wilted by the sun and did not even have the strength to get angry. As soon as he saw Sun Ce, he knelt down and asked Sun Ce to deal with the knights.

Sun Ce was very polite, but also very cold. "The Ming court probably made a mistake. These people have something to do with the Yuan family, but this Yuan is not the other Yuan. If they are not under my control, it is useless to find me. If you want to fight and kill, you can deal with it as much as you want. I will not ask."

Qu Yin knew who was behind these knights, but he couldn't go to Yecheng to find Yuan Shao, so he had to rely on Sun Ce. "No matter what, these people stayed here in the name of protecting Anguoting Hou. They appeared in front of General Yuan's tomb every day. The people of Ruyang were ignorant and regarded as General Yuan's old subordinates. If the general didn't care, wouldn't they be afraid of affecting General Yuan's reputation?"

Sun Ce almost laughed out loud. Please, do you think I am stupid, but Yuan Shu's reputation is still afraid of the influence? At this time, Yuan Quan, who was sitting beside him, coughed and looked at Sun Ce reproachfully. Qu Yin looked at Yuan Quan suspiciously, and suddenly a flash of inspiration appeared. Thinking of who she was, he quickly paid a visit.

"Do you dare to ask if the wife is General Yuan's eldest daughter?"

Yuan Quan nodded, probably. When she was in Ruyang, the magistrate of Qu had never been to the door, and she had no good impression of him.

"Please think about the reputation of the emperor and eliminate this disaster for the villagers. With General Sun in Runan, how can any thieves hurt the king? To be honest, these people are real thieves. What's more, there are many thieves among these people. If someone misunderstood the general to lead the riots to disrupt the Xia Dynasty, what should we do?"

Yuan Quan thought for a while and said, "Although these people are not old subordinates of his father and have nothing to do with General Sun, they are protecting their younger brothers after all. I really cannot ignore this kind of disaster to the village. Please punish the general and return the peace in the village."

Sun Ce responded reluctantly and called Qin Mu and Mi Fang to lead their personal guards to follow Qu Yin to arrest the two hundred knights, and he could not let anyone go. Before leaving, he said earnestly: "Q Mingting, please explain the misunderstandings to the elders of Runan on their behalf. Although they are all surnamed Yuan, the difference here is very big, and they can't be misunderstood. Otherwise, General Yuan would not be able to close his eyes in the nineteenth place, and he would definitely give you a dream."

Qu Yin was mute and couldn't say anything about the hardship. When this matter came to him, he would definitely offend Yuan Shao. This surnamed Sun was indeed not a good person, and he was wronged.

After Sun Ce finished his business, he did not look at Qu Yin again. He picked up the water cup, took a sip of the cool mung bean soup, and sighed with satisfaction. Qu Yin was sunk for most of the day, and his throat was almost smoking. Seeing this scene, he was eager to hope that Sun Ce would give him a bowl of moistening his throat, but he was embarrassed to speak, so he could only lick his dry and skinny lips, droop his head, and turn to leave the tent.

The officials he brought were sitting in the open space in front of the tent, with a tent covering the sun above his head, gathering together, each with a bowl, whispering and joking while eating and drinking, and were in a good mood. Qu Yin leaned over and saw a large bucket among them, and there was half a bucket of mung bean soup inside, which was cool and quenched thirst at first glance.

“Where did it come from?”

"It was rewarded by Mrs. Yuan." said the county magistrate, shaking the Hu cake in his hand again. "And this tastes really good, it is better than what we sell in Ruyang City. I heard that it was made by Mrs. Yuan himself. These soldiers are really good at eating this every day, which is too luxurious."

Qu Yin was stunned for a moment, and without even saying anything, he stepped forward and snatched a bowl of soup, and drank half of the bowl in one breath.

The officials were surprised. "Ming Court, why... weren't you there to have a banquet with the general?"

Qu Yin covered his face with a bowl and replied vaguely: "I won't go today. I don't have time. Let's go back to Ruyang to clean up the barbarians."

——

Leading the way, Qin Mu and Mi Fang led the guards to attack quickly, searched the inside and outside the city of Ruyang City, arrested all the two hundred cavalry mixed with Hu Han, and held them at the gate of the city for public display. Such a big disturbance, without their deliberate publicity, the people of Runan City knew about it and asked each other. When they learned that these cavalry were sent by Yuan Shao, but the cavalry that was arrested was sent by Sun Ce, they were immediately indignant and scolded Yuan Shao for doing things indiscriminately.

Public opinion fermented for two days before Sun Ce and his party arrived in Ruyang. In front of the onlookers, Sun Ce issued an order: cut off all the Hu people's hair and show them to the public for ten days. Han knights broke their right hands and tied them up for public display. Ten days later, they drove out of Yuzhou. They dared to stay for one more day and be killed without mercy.

At the same time, he asked Qu Yin to issue an announcement on the people of the county to pass the truth and nail Yuan Shao to the pillar of shame. Yuan Shao's reputation for building his tomb for six years in the village was completely ruined. Although these public opinions cannot be revealed in Ruyang County for the time being and cannot affect the overall situation, Sun Ce finally vented his anger and had a little pleasure first.

In an instant, nearly a hundred hairpins fell to the ground, blood flowing all over the ground, and the remaining Han knights were so scared that they were lost. Then their legs were broken and the ground was rolling in pain. Qu Yin was so scared that his face turned pale. When he first saw Sun Ce, he felt that Sun Ce was very kind, but he didn't expect that he killed more than a hundred people in one breath without even blinking his eyes.

Qu Yin did not dare to say anything, and soon wrote Anmin's notice and asked Sun Ce to take a look. After Sun Ce agreed, he sent someone to copy dozens of copies and posted them all over the city.

During all, Sun Ce became famous and someone came to pay his respects that day.
