When Qinghehou woke up and recovered, the whole of Xianyang suddenly seemed to be resurrected. With three days of celebration, extreme depression and silence turned into a continuous carnival. Countless people spontaneously marched on the streets. The Taiyi Temple outside the east gate was also crowded, with thick smoke coming out all day long, and the entire river beach was filled with a strong smell of incense.

Countless kings, princes, officials, merchants, Chen Ping, Huang Fu Que, Sun Shujiong, Magan, Gongshu, Sheng, Yuliang, etc., came to visit each other on behalf of different departments. Meng Yun and other groups of playboys also came to join in the fun. The entire Qinghe Marquis Mansion was noisy for several days before slowly quieting down.

Quyuan Miscellaneous House, which was forbidden for more than half a month, was reopened.

The buses scattered all over the city inside and outside Xianyang City suddenly ran very fast like chicken blood.

The Academy of Sciences, School of Literature, Newspapers, School of Engineering and factories outside the city all became active instantly.

The Cuju field, which had been suspended for a long time, started construction again under the arrangement of Zhang Cang and Hu Kuan.

As Chen Xu woke up, everything in Xianyang began to return to its former prosperity and hustle and bustle, even more lively.

At the end of August, the autumn harvest had already been completed, and the entire Guanzhong Plain slowly entered the season of yellow leaves flying.

After the celebration, Xianyang City quickly returned to normal, both the people and the courts. In Wuzhong, Jiangnan, thousands of miles away, this place is completely different from Xianyang. There is a strong and unresolved atmosphere everywhere. The people have recently felt that something was about to happen, but they don’t know where this depressing atmosphere comes from.

The gangsters who are usually scattered in the streets, alleys, water lakes, rivers and ports suddenly disappeared. Even the group of young and dandy boys who were whistling in the city and roaring in the past could not find their leader, and wandered on the streets at a loss.

Outside the county magistrate's office, a group of police soldiers wearing swords and armored soldiers looked serious, blocking all the personnel and officials entering and leaving the government office. In the middle, the county magistrate Jiang Heng sat in the middle, wearing armor and carrying a long sword. Four people sat on both sides, one was the county magistrate Zhao Dong, the other was the county magistrate Dai Sheng, and the other was the police station chief He Biao. There were also several commanders of the magistrate's office and the police station, and their faces were solemn.

"Qinghe Hou and Benshou wrote a letter saying that there may be riots in Wuzhong in recent days, and the leader may be Xiang. Now the Japanese guards summon you to discuss the encirclement and suppression of bandits. According to the police station's secret investigation for several days, Xiang has secretly prepared weapons and gathered bandits outside the city. There are many officials involved in the county town. Therefore, this matter must be taken seriously. Yesterday, the court ordered 400 miles to arrive in Wuzhong in an emergency, requiring the arrest of Jibu, the bandits who ambushed Qinghe Hou. Now that the safety of Qinghe Hou is unknown, Xiang is ready to rebel. If this matter is a slight negligence, the civil rebellion will be caused, and the emperor is furious and you and the emperor are in danger of Xiang's head..."

Although Jiang Heng looked just a gentle Confucian scholar on weekdays, he had a long sword on his waist, and his voice was low and cold, and he looked full of murderous aura.

"Benshou also knows that Xiang's family has had contacts with you on weekdays, but as long as Xiang's rebellious plot is suppressed, all the previous suspicions of the bandits can be forgiven and will not reveal any news. But if anyone dares to secretly entangle the bandits and cause trouble, Benshou will definitely behead him and deal with the bandits..."

"Don't worry, the county magistrate, the police station has been arranged. Two thousand police officers in the county town and several counties around the Wuhu Lake have been secretly gathered to arrange them. Only the county magistrate is in line with the leader, and he will never let a bandit go!" Police Chief He Biao bowed his promise with a cold face.

He Biao was a commander who was removed from the northwest last year. He was 12th-level left-ranking Wu Jue. Although he was not famous in the border, he had fought with the Huns for several years. In Kuaiji County, he was definitely the highest-ranking Wu Jue except Zhao Dong. He was transferred to Kuaiji as the police chief of the shoufu. Not only did he serve 600 stones every year, but he also had 600 households in the fief. There were also ten hectares of land near Wuzhong and thirty acres of property. He had dozens of servants and his wife, children, and children and children moved to Wuzhong to live. He had more than 3,000 police officers in more than 20 counties in Kuaiji County. Moreover, these police officers were actually generals who had received meritorious titles from the border. Although the number was scattered, their strength should not be underestimated. They had been fighting and training in the border for many years, which was much stronger than ordinary lieutenants.

The police are under the Ministry of Justice. Although they are vertically led by the Ministry of Justice, they are under the jurisdiction and command and dispatch of the local officials, and are dedicated to maintaining public order and investigating criminal cases.

It is precisely with the power of the police chief that Jiang Heng was sure to control the county lieutenant Zhao Dong. If it weren't for the past, the county lieutenant would be a commander without the support of the county lieutenant.

"Don't worry, the county magistrate. Although he did not receive the order from His Majesty and the Ministry of War, he would definitely mobilize the lieutenant to strictly guard the county city. It is also a certain responsibility to arrest and suppress the bandits. He would definitely not disappoint the adults!" Zhao Dong's dark cheeks twitched slightly and clasped his fists and said.

Seeing the two military officers leading the troops speaking, Jiang Heng felt a little relieved and his face became a little relaxed. "That's good. Although Xiang's family has been entrenched in Wuzhong for many years, they are all confused by some gangsters and raiders. As long as you are united with Benshou, Xiang's rebellious actions will definitely not be able to succeed. Once the bandits are dispersed and captured Xiang Liang and other bandit leaders, Benshou will definitely report to Your Majesty to ask for merit. Therefore, I will give full permission to ask the two generals this time!"

"We will follow the arrangements of the county magistrate!" Zhao Dong and He Biao clasped their fists together, and the iron armor on their bodies clattered.

"Okay, although Xiang's family has taken action now, they must have been not ready to launch it. Director He continued to arrange for police soldiers to inquire about the news. Zhao County Magistrate also quickly mobilized the lieutenant soldiers to secretly deploy defenses. Once Xiang's family rebelled, they would immediately strangle them, regardless of life or death!"

"Here~" Zhao Dong and He Biao turned around and left with their subordinates. In a blink of an eye, only a few guards and county magistrate Dai Sheng were left in the lobby.

"Mr. Dai, I heard that you and Xiang have a close contact on weekdays and often have fun together. I can ignore the past affairs, but this time it is related to the safety of Wuzhong. If you are not careful, it will cause a disaster. I have only been transferred to Kuaiji for two years. You are in charge of many government affairs on weekdays, and they are also in good order. I don't know what you are thinking, so I have two choices now. One is to be wronged and you stay in the government office for the time being. But after this matter, I will inform Xianyang of your daily interactions with Xiang. As for whether you are guilty, I will wait for the censor of the Supervision Provincial Department to investigate and distinguish..."

Dai Sheng's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and his body trembled slightly and bowed, "Sir, Dai Sheng has always had close contact with Xiang on weekdays, and he also received some of the wealth he gave him. It was because Xiang's powerful force in Wuzhong, so the lower officials had to do it. Besides, the lower officials did not know that Xiang's intention to rebel."

"So you don't mean to be a bandit?"

"No, absolutely no..." Dosheng shook his head pale.

"Okay, I will give you a second choice..." Jiang Heng stared at Dai Sheng straight at him, "The county magistrate and the police station will be transferred recently. This matter will inevitably be detected by the Xiang family, and they may flee and hide. However, I want to take this opportunity to catch the Xiang family in one place. Therefore, you and the Xiang family need to explain it to them, so that they think that the county magistrate and the police station are just ordering the emperor to strengthen their guards and search for bandits, so they are in a mess. At that time, I will report your contribution to Xianyang, and can you do it?"

"If you can do it..., don't worry, sir. Once someone from Xiang comes to inquire with me, the official will explain as the sir, and he will definitely not break the sir's plan!" Dai Sheng nodded quickly while wiping the sweat on his forehead.

"Okay, this is your only chance. I hope you will do your own thing and dare to break the major event. Your three tribes of Dai will suffer a catastrophe. Go!" Jiang Heng waved his hand, and Dai Sheng bowed his hand and left the lobby of the government office with a pale face.

"Arrange someone to stare at Daisheng!" Jiang Heng ordered a guard behind him.

"Yes, lord!" The guard turned around and left. Jiang Heng pulled the paper and pen and quickly wrote a letter, put it in a bamboo tube and sealed it. He covered it with his own seal and handed it to another guard. "So quickly send this letter to Wuhuyuan and ask Qu Hai to arrange for someone to secretly send it to the county magistrate of Huipu and Minzhong Gao Yi!"

"Yes, Master!"

"Everything is arranged well, the right time, place, and people are not with me. I have to send a secret letter from the Hou of Qinghe, hoping that there will be no trouble!" After the guard who sent the letter left, Jiang Heng sighed slightly and left from the back hall of the County Magistrate Mansion and soon returned to his home.

"How is your husband like this? I've been busy with official business in recent days. Could it be that he is not feeling well?" Jiang Heng's wife Ping brought tea into the study and asked with some concern.

"Mrs. I am not worried. I am not feeling well. It's just that the last time the Hou Qinghe sent me a secret letter, which made me feel uneasy!" Jiang Heng took the teacup and shook his head.

"Is it because of Yue'er?" Ping's eyes turned red and wiped tears.

"There is no wonder that Yue'er is the matter, but it is because of the incompetent discipline of the fourth brother in the past. Although Yue'er died, the Marquis of Qinghe has achieved the ultimate and righteousness. He buried Yue'er in the Chen Cemetery with the courtesy of his fiancée. This is a great act of goodness. Even the fourth brother will not complain at all. There may be a military disaster in Wuzhong recently. The wife also asks to restrain the servants in the mansion and do not go out if they have nothing to do!" Jiang Heng reminded.

"Soldier disaster?" Ping's cheeks pale in an instant.

"Well, but madam, don't worry. I have arranged for the guards in the mansion to take strict precautions. Madam should not leave the mansion and interact with other officials and wives. You go out first, I have official duties to deal with!"
