From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 1190

Zhuang Xuansu is a reliable person. Although she seems incapable of handling some complex situations, she is definitely efficient enough when the direction is clear.

That afternoon, she joined hands with the Xiningwei government to post a notice of "counting illegal households, registering household registration, measuring land, and dividing fairly", which caused a sensation in the entire Xiningwei.

Zhou Yuan was not in a hurry to leave. He first took Xiaoying to the Nei Tingsi branch, sent a letter to Guan Lu, and then took a look at the list of suspects and learned about the local gangs.

The next day, the people of Xiningwei seemed to have come out, and a large number of illegal households began to sign up on their own initiative, hoping to get a quota for land distribution.

Zhuang Xuansu registered all of them, analyzed the list with the government, and invited old people from all over the country to identify the authenticity. The main inspection points were the origin and origin of each person, and whether they had been to Xiningwei. It took a day to conduct a comprehensive analysis and pulled out a list of thousands of people.

"Thousands of people are definitely not enough. We need to continue to screen."

Zhuang Xuansu handed the list to Zhou Yuan and continued, "But we have used up all the information we can use now. It will definitely take time to go deeper, and you don't have time."

Zhou Yuan said, "I will leave at the latest tomorrow morning. I can't delay any longer. You ask the local gang leader to prepare a table of food, and I will meet them in the evening."

Zhuang Xuansu changed color and said, "Will this be unsafe? If the spy is among them, there may be an assassination."

Zhou Yuan said coldly, "Unless they are tired of living."

"You go and arrange it, make the purpose clear, and tell them that they must be there."

Zhuang Xuansu took a deep breath and said, "You have to put on armor to protect your safety."

She was not a person who dragged her feet, so she went to arrange it immediately.

At night, a banquet was set on the Phoenix of Xining Guard.

All the big leaders of the gangs in this city were present, and no one dared not to come.

They can refuse to give face to the Inner Court, and they can find excuses to shirk, but no one dares not to come to the Prince of Wei.

The private room is very quiet, with seven or eight people gathered together, some are friends, some are mortal enemies, but at this moment, they dare not sit down, dare not speak, staring at each other, waiting anxiously.

Some people are really impatient, and they can't stand waiting any longer, so they can't help but lower their voices and say: "I say, everyone, why hasn't that gentleman come yet... Isn't he going to deal with us?"

The sturdy man next to him said coldly: "To deal with us, the trash, does the Prince of Wei need to take action himself? Don't you know who the masters of the martial arts in the northwest and the famous and upright sects are working for?"

"Stop arguing, let's listen carefully to what the Prince of Wei is going to say later. This is a bad star. If we get angry, we will all die."

Some people growled, and everyone was obviously more nervous.

Then, the door was suddenly pushed open, scaring everyone.

Zhuang Xuansu walked in and glanced around. Two inner guards stood at the door, slightly bent over.

Then Zhou Yuan strode in. He was wearing only ordinary martial arts uniforms, but the murderous aura that came out of the sea of ​​blood and corpses, and the aura of being in a high position for a long time, almost rushed in his face.

In the eyes of everyone, there seemed to be a cold light in his eyes, which was more terrifying than a knife.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

"The humble one greets the prince!"

Everyone knelt down hurriedly.

Zhou Yuan did not speak, or even look at them, and went straight to the main seat and sat down.

Everyone did not dare to look up, or even stand up.

After a while, Zhou Yuan said calmly: "Sit down and talk."

"Yes, yes..."

Seven or eight gang leaders, who usually could stop babies from crying at night, are now all very honest.

Each of them sat on the chair, only daring to put half of their buttocks on, slightly bent over and lowered their heads, smiling.

Zhou Yuan said: "You are all big shots in Xiningwei. Whether you run a casino or a martial arts school, whether you run an escort agency or a brothel, or even rob people, you all make a living by making money in Xiningwei."

"Now Xiningwei is in trouble. I am thinking about how to deal with it. There are several directions. Please help me with the advice."

Everyone laughed awkwardly and dared not say a word.

Zhou Yuan did not intend to let them take over, but said calmly: "There are three directions."

"First, find out the Yarkand spies and the remnants of the Ma family, completely eliminate them, and make this city clean."

"Second, kill all the suspicious people we think of. I have a list, only more than 3,000 people."

More than 3,000 people? Just? Kill them all?

Several gang leaders were already sweating and dry.

Zhou Yuan looked at everyone and said slowly: "Third, kill everyone in this city, send the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu to lead troops to Xiningwei, use soldiers to farm, cultivate land, and wait for me to come."Destroy Yarkand, and then move some of the people from Huguang and Sichuan here. "

"This city has only more than 90,000 people, including the unregistered, there are only a little over 100,000, so it doesn't matter if we kill them."

"Anyway... it must be much easier to kill than the more than 300,000 troops of the Tsarist Empire."

The calm tone, but the words he said made people shudder. His aura was too strong and his murderous aura was too heavy. The gang leaders present could no longer stand it.

"Prince Wei... you... you give me a way to live..."

"Yes, if the prince has any instructions, we will all do it."

Zhuang Xuansu stood behind Zhou Yuan and couldn't help sneering. When she first came to find these people, they didn't look like this.

Zhou Yuan looked at everyone and said lightly: "When I first arrived in Shenjing a few years ago, His Majesty asked me what I wanted to do."

"I said I wanted to save the world, change the world for Dajin, and open up a glorious era. ”

“So I killed more than 300,000 people in the Central Plains, more than 100,000 people in Jurchen, more than 100,000 people in Mongolia, tens of thousands of people in Portugal and the Netherlands, tens of thousands of people in the southwest, and more than 300,000 people in the Tsarist Empire.”

“Anyway, roughly speaking, I have killed almost a million people in the past few years of fighting in the south and the north.”

“All those big forces and big families have been killed, and everyone has seen the effect. It seems to be very good. The Jin Dynasty is getting better.”

“But after counting, I have not killed anyone in the northwest.”

Everyone was sweating and their legs were shaking.

Zhou Yuan smiled, but his eyes were extremely cold.

He looked at everyone and said in a serious tone; “I am a soldier. I have always been more straightforward in doing things. You are all heroes. I like to let heroes investigate heroes and heroes investigate heroes.”

“I will let you investigate the Yarkand spies and the remnants of the Ma family. I will give you one month. ”

“I don’t care what methods you use or what ideas you come up with, I just want the result.”

“After a month, if Xining Wei is still not clean, I will let Xu Dasheng send 20,000 elite troops to suppress it directly and destroy it directly.”

Everyone present was shocked and their faces turned pale for a while.

Zhou Yuan continued: “It has been difficult to save the world in these years. Many forces have stood in my way, including the Jurchens, the Mongols, and the Tsarist Empire. There are people with horses, guns and cannons, but I have survived.”

“If a small Xining Wei dares to block my way, I will destroy it.”

“Am I kidding you? Whether I dare to kill or not, you all know who I am, Zhou Yuan.”

“I think I don’t need to repeat the above words. You can do it yourself.”

He stood up and said lightly: “Master Zhuang, contact Xu Dasheng and be ready to take over Xining Wei at any time. If the government can’t deal with something, let the soldiers come. "

Zhuang Xuansu said solemnly: "I understand!"

Just as he finished speaking, four or five men in black suddenly rushed in from outside the house, raised their swords and attacked Zhou Yuan.

Everyone roared in shock, and the scene was in chaos for a while.

Zhou Yuan knocked the four men in black out with one palm, but his shoulder was still scratched by the sword blade, leaving a scar.

"Chase! We must catch them!"

The leaders of the major gangs were about to wet their pants, shaking and roaring.

Someone fell to his knees and shouted: "Your Highness! Someone must have framed you! It must be a spy!"

Zhou Yuan looked calm and smiled softly: "Master Zhuang, several major gangs in Xining Guard organized assassins to assassinate the first-class prince of the dynasty. They deserve to die and their nine clans should be killed."

"After a month, if the merits and demerits cannot be offset, they will be arrested immediately and punished according to the law. "

Several leaders were already standing there in a daze, they understood what had happened.

Zhou Yuan glanced at them and said, "Don't even think about escaping. The masters in the northwest are all working for me. You will only die if you escape to the ends of the earth."

"You guys, take care of yourself."

After saying that, he waved his sleeves and turned away.
