Of course, Cheng Xiaolian didn't have time to care what those officials said about him, the so-called time can see people's hearts, and he didn't plan to convince the people of Xi'an City in a short period of time, everyone is not a child who is not deeply involved in the world, because it is not realistic for a few words or a few things to make them return to their hearts.

Only after a long test and the people under his rule can indeed eat enough, will they return to him.

Of course, Cheng Xiaolian didn't plan to use these people, he couldn't bring a team of recruits to the battlefield, in the face of those soldiers of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, these people were very likely to turn around on the battlefield and run, and then they would have to be defeated together with the sweeping northern army, just ask them not to rebel in the rear.

At this time, Yang Youcai was sending people to find Xu Qiang's traces, he believed that even if Tuhai withdrew from Xi'an City, he would definitely not give up the opportunity to fight back, and this Xu Qiang, as the number one traitor of Jinyiwei, would definitely help Tuhai set off a storm in Xi'an City.

Cheng Xiaolian looked at the ruins of the city, and couldn't help but shake his head: "Although Xi'an City is very famous, since ancient times, once there is a war, it is always these famous cities that are unlucky. ”

At this time, Wen Duruo stretched out his hand and pointed: "Look there." ”

Cheng Xiaolian looked up and saw Zhou Peicheng squatting in front of the broken wall, his body shaking incessantly, looking like he was suppressing his crying.

"This person is a little strange, what are you crying about a wall?"

Cheng Xiaolian laughed: "This person has done some bad things, and he feels sorry for the people here, so he will cry against the wall, maybe he is not crying against this wall, but countless innocent people." ”

Saying that, Cheng Xiaolian walked over: "What's the use of crying, everyone has been killed, how many young sons with drooping hair are waiting to be fed without their parents, how many yellow-haired old people, sick in bed without a son, these are all debts made by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, do you think it's good to cry?" ”

Zhou Peigong wiped his tears with his right hand, stood up abruptly and was about to leave here, Cheng Xiaolian sneered: "If you do something bad, come and cry, turn around and leave, if the truth in the world is so simple, then there will be no such thing as killing people to pay for their lives and paying off debts." ”

Zhou Peigong turned his head abruptly and laughed disdainfully: "I know you want me to help you, but I only have two words, don't think about it." ”

"Maybe it's not to help me, the people of Xi'an are burdened by you, there are people who are broken, there are displaced people, don't you plan to do something to pay off your debts?"

"I'll come tomorrow to build a house for them to live in."

"Zhou Peigong, I found that you are very hypocritical, you only have one arm, and you can only build a house in the Year of the Monkey? Just seek peace of mind, not results, right? If I were you, I should go down to Xi'an on an errand and strive to be able to benefit the people, you know very well that your advantage is in your brain, not in your hands, are you willing to sincerely help the people of Xi'an, or just for your own peace of mind, a broken house here is built for three or five years, and there are not ten or eight people. ”

"What do you want me to do?"

"There is still a lack of knowledge around the prefect of Xi'an, and now Xi'an is in ruins, and the prefect is too busy to be done alone, are you willing to help him rebuild his home for the people of Xi'an?"

Zhou Peigong smiled: "You don't use the method of agitation, I know that I can do it, but once it comes to dealing with the Qing Dynasty, I will not participate in anything, if you have to force me to come up with any ideas, I will resign and not do it." ”

"Don't worry, you don't need to deal with the Manchu Dynasty, you can take a good place here, and it is the greatest merit to let the people of Xi'an live and work in peace and contentment."

The next day, Zhou Peigong took office and began to take over as the governor of Xi'an, Zhou Fumin heard that he was Tuhai's staff, and gladly accepted, in his opinion, Tuhai's vision will naturally not be bad, and this person's ability must not be bad.

After Zhou Peigong took office, he immediately set about restoring the vitality of Xi'an City, and promulgated the wartime field law, re-surveyed the fields, distributed the land, maintained order in the city, and accepted the major caravans, and the Xi'an Mansion immediately became angry.

Zhou Fumin was also happy to relax and free up his body to do other things, of course, this was a few months later.

At this time, Yang Youcai had already found clues, and he learned from the mouths of some brothers that the Manchu Qing Dynasty also had the same organization as Jinyiwei, named Haidongqing, since it was a peer, it was better to figure out the intention.

He just said to a few people under him: "If you are Hai Dongqing at this time, where should you hide, and start looking for clues according to your ideas." ”

Hard work pays off, at noon that day, a team of brocade guards found a suspicious signal mark behind the door of an inn, although after so many wars, the inn has long been half dead, but the shopkeeper can't sell the inn, no one will take over his inn at this time, can only barely open, one day is a day.

After Yang Youcai learned of this situation, he immediately entered the inn: "Shopkeeper, we are the officials and soldiers in the city, and I heard that there are spies in your store." ”

The shopkeeper was already expressionless: "If you see anything good, move away, this inn now only has these things, I can't take out the silver, but there are still some copper coins." ”

Yang Youcai snorted: "Which one wants your silver, tell me who the customers in the store are, if the master is satisfied, it is not a problem to give you some silver, if you dare to talk nonsense, the master will demolish your shop." ”

Yang Youcai knows very well that since there is a signal behind the inn, Hai Dongqing's people are likely to hide around the inn or in the inn, the reason why he is making a big splash this time is because the brothers have long been arranged to watch at the high places, and ordinary people may not be able to find it when they walk around, but once someone climbs over the wall or flies the eaves and walks the wall, they will definitely be seen by those brothers, and they will be able to know the specific location by relying on the flag language at that time.

The shopkeeper finally reacted, these people really didn't come to extort people, but to arrest people, and quickly took out the account book: "There are still six guests in the store, just go and see it." ”

"Let me ask you, what are the characteristics of the guests in these six rooms, and are there any people you feel are wrong?"

"Yes, there are two people, in the No. 3 room of Tianzi, every day during the day, the door does not go out of the second door, and at night they have to go out to find someone to do something." At this point, the shopkeeper lowered his voice: "They can't be the people you are looking for, right?" ”

Yang Youcai laughed: "I have something I want to tell you, I don't know if you want to hear it?" ”
