Chapter 283 Breakthrough

Chen Mo stayed in Yecheng and never returned. Yuan Shang retreated to Youzhou, but Jizhou had great potential for Chen Mo, but now it is in a mess.

Thanks to Chen Mo's butcher knife in Yecheng, after Chen Mo captured Jizhou, the county magistrates and prefects of each county were dismissed from office one after another. At the same time, the new county magistrate arranged by Chen Mo was strongly rejected by locals and almost all were undermined. In the eyes of outsiders, Chen Mo must be in a state of anxiety at this moment.

Yecheng, the general's mansion, Chen Mo was not as worried as he imagined. When he first started to sacrifice, Chen Mo could probably think of this result. Chen Mo had no hope of sending these new officials to various counties, and Chen Mo did not expect these people to calm down the situation, but just to make them familiar with the situation.

Of course, this is a situation where the gentry in Jizhou should not jump out of the circle. If they jump out of the circle designated by Chen Mo, then don’t blame Chen Mo for using the outside world to attack.

But Chen Mo's ignorance on the side was obviously misinterpreted.

"Master, something happened!" Xun You walked in quickly, his face a little ugly.

"What's the matter?" Chen Mo was practicing calligraphy. Hearing this, he looked up at Xun You with some confusion and smiled: "Gongda, let's see how my word is first?"

"Strong and powerful... No, lord, something big happened." Xun You looked subconsciously. Chen Mo's calligraphy is indeed good, with the spirit of gold and iron horses, but it also has a sense of elegance. Chen Mo's calligraphy can also be called a master of calligraphy. Even if he is separated from his identity, he can gain a foothold among scholars with this word, but this is not the most important thing.

Something really happened.

"The new Anping Ling was assassinated on his way to take office!" Xun You looked at Chen Mo seriously and said.

Chen Mo's expression became serious. Killing officials was a provocation to the court, and even more a provocation to Chen Mo. You must know that Chen Mo had just taken charge of Jizhou. The officials he sent were intercepted and killed halfway. No matter who did it, the consequences were very serious. First, it would cause these officials sent by Chen Mo to Jizhou to panic. Second, if this matter cannot be handled properly, it would also encourage the arrogance of those behind it.

Before this, Chen Mo could ignore the new officials in public and secretly, because everyone followed the rules and was trapped in the officialdom, which was just a lesson for these officials, and they were not so easy to be an official.

But now it is probably because Chen Mo has no choice but to see that some people have started to expand and break the rules, so the nature is completely different.

"I know, ask Zhang Yan to see me." Chen Mo's expression quickly calmed down. As he expected, it could even be said that Chen Mo deliberately caused it. His inaction made these people think that they were weak and could be bullied, and thus became more and more unscrupulous. However, he did not know that Chen Mo was waiting for them to break the rules, but it was a pity for Anping Ling.

"Here!" Xun You nodded. He knew that this would cause a blow to the gentry in Jizhou, but there was no way. This was caused by these people. Chen Mo stayed in Yecheng and refused to return to Luoyang for a long time? Xun You knew very well, although he was willing to help, there were always some stupid people who helped him. Xun You was very clear about his position, which was also the reason why his position under Chen Mo became more stable. He was first of all, and then a scholar. As long as he recognized this, Chen Mo would never deliberately cause trouble for him. In fact, although Chen Mo was not very friendly to gentry, he had a reason for every move.

"Anping Ling's family will treat you well!" Chen Mo added. The most innocent thing in this matter was probably Anping Ling. He came with confidence but ended up dying in a foreign land.

"Here!" Xun You nodded and bowed to leave.

"Lao Dian, go and call the people from Skynet." After Xun You left, Chen Mo shouted to the outside of the door.

"Here!" Dian Wei agreed and turned around and left.

After a while, a man dressed up in a strong manner came in and bowed to Chen Mo: "Let Jin in the sky, see the lord."

"Collection of evidence of all the gentry of Anping County during this period, and to confirm that they are guilty, hurry up." Chen Mo looked at Luo Jin and ordered.

"Here!"

Tianwang has been in Jizhou for more than a month, and they all walked to various counties to collect evidence of gentry. However, after all, it was not local, so collecting evidence of crime is definitely not as easy as Guanzhong, but for such a long time, it is naturally somewhat effective.

Chen Mo didn't know who was the one who killed Anping Order, but the entire Anping County was rectified because of this, and I think no one would object.

Shortly after Luo Jin left, Zhang Yan quickly stepped in and said to Chen Mo: "Lord, are you looking for me?"

"Yes." Chen Mo nodded and handed the written arrow to Zhang Yan and said, "Lead all your troops to enter Anping County immediately on the grounds of attacking the bandits. However, if there are bandits, they will be wiped out. If not, station in Xindu and wait for new orders."

"Here!" Zhang Yan nodded, took Chen Mo's command arrow and quickly left.

In the next few days, Jizhou was calm and as if the matter of killing officials was left unresolved. This made everyone in Jizhou's county officials in danger and even dared not go out. Even the government office was in a state of no one for a long time, so they were worried about being assassinated suddenly.

A few days later, Luo Jin brought a large number of files to the general's mansion.

"Lord, this is the evidence of the crimes of gentry in various counties of Anping County that have been collected so far. The evidence is conclusive and there are still many evidences." Luo Jin bowed to Chen Mo and said.

"Very good!" Chen Mo nodded with satisfaction, and after letting Luo Jin leave, he found Yang Xiu again. Yang Xiu was promoted to Jizhou by Chen Mo after the war and was responsible for the civil affairs of Jizhou.

"What's the matter with the lord calling me?" Yang Xiu bowed to Chen Mo.

"Look at these files." Lu Bu pointed to the cart of bamboo slips.

Yang Xiu picked up a roll of bamboo slips in confusion and looked at it. After a while, his face gradually became gloomy.

"I want you to deal with the evidence of the crimes of all gentry and clans in Anping County. On the grounds of purge of Anping's administration, these evidences will be made public one by one and severely punished according to law." Chen Mo looked at Yang Xiudao.

"This..." Yang Xiu looked up at Chen Mo after hearing this, feeling a little embarrassed. There are many former disciples and relatives of the Yang family in Jizhou. If he asked him to do this, wouldn't that offend people?

"Is there any problem?" Chen Mo looked at Yang Xiu and asked.

Yang Xiu sighed, and he understood a little. The lord was hitting himself. Is the reason?... When he was guarding Yecheng, although he was kind-hearted, he did not get Chen Mo's permission to recruit troops from all ethnic groups in Yecheng, and violated Chen Mo's taboo. Even if Chen Mo directly cut him down, he had no place to deal with it.

"I understand that if I rely on the power of a man, I am afraid..." Yang Xiu looked at Chen Mo with some embarrassment. Even if there was evidence of guilt, these local gentry might not be surrendered if they dare to kill officials.

"I have ordered Zhang Yan to enter Anping in the name of suppressing bandits, but the command arrow cannot be given to you. This command arrow will be held by friends, and you two will go together." Chen Mo looked at Yang Xiudao.

It’s not that he doesn’t believe in Yang Xiu. Yang Xiu is indeed smart, but sometimes he can’t understand the situation and his ears are a little soft. Xun Chen is different. Chen Mo is well-known for the factional dispute between the scholars of Yingchuan and Jizhou under Yuan Shao, and after a long period of ups and downs, he understands better what he wants to do.

"Here!" Yang Xiu nodded bitterly and bowed to leave.

However, in this matter, Chen Mo did not give the arrow to Xun Chen, but Yang Ping. Yes, it was Yang Ping. The matter of raiding the family was his specialty. This time, Chen Mo mobilized Tianwang people to come over, and the leader was Yang Ping. However, Tianwang could not appear in front of others. Even if everyone knows that there is such an organization, Tianwang has no law enforcement power. Yang Ping came over just to mobilize Zhang Yan's troops. He cooperated with Xun Chen and could not pass Yang Ping. More importantly, if the arrow was not in their hands, he could not release people for personal gain. Since Chen Mo took action in Anping, he would have to be a deterrent effect, and Yang Ping was Chen Mo's knife to shock the Jizhou family.

For the gentry Anping, Zhang Yan's entry into the bandit suppression did not cause their panic. After all, Zhang Yan was really suppressing bandit suppression. In the eyes of many people, Chen Mo just wanted to use Zhang Yan to intimidate them.

As for killing officials, they did it cleanly, even if Zhang Yan beat up all the bandits and bandits in Anping, it would be impossible for them to find any clues.

However, next, Xun Chen and Yang Xiu came to Anping with a large number of evidence of crime. Starting from the letter, they were asked by counties and the family children listed on the evidence of food and food were all publicized and then quickly arrested.

There is naturally resistance, but as soon as Yang Ping appears, he will give these Anping gentry a basin of cold water. Yang Ping asked Zhang Yan to bring five thousand troops. Once he resisted, he immediately gathered troops to conspire to commit rebellion and confiscate the family and destroy his ancestors.

Within half a month, the thirteen counties in Anping were swept away by Yang Xiu and Xun Chen. Every time they went to one or two families, the fewer one or two families, and the more five or six children of aristocratic families were punished.

But those who dared to resist were immediately punished for the crime of treason, and their family arrested and even killed them on the spot, and their property was confiscated.

Within half a month, the local gentry who died under the sword of Montenegro, together with the rebellious servants, had tens of thousands of people in the same line.

At this moment, some clever ones finally realized. After Yang Xiu and others arrived, they did not mention killing officials at all, but they took their anger at the entire Jizhou gentry, and the evidence they brought out was real. As long as the cart of bamboo slips was famous, the head would fall to the ground at the least, and the family would be confiscated and the ancestors would be destroyed. Yang Ping's name would be full of evil deeds, but Yang Ping didn't care about these.

Coincidentally, Xun Chen and Yang Xiu left eight counties, but they were reluctant to go to Anping County. Until they finished the twelve counties, when Yang Ping brought his men and horses to Anping, all the gentry Anping had come to greet the city outside and brought several heads, which was the murderer who killed Anping, hoping to avoid the guilt in this way.
