The Duke of the Mu clan left, Mu Shu stayed and waited for orders, Chu Xian asked Luo Yong to get the largest set of armor and clothes for Mu Shu to change into, and shaved the other party's hair and put on an iron helmet, so that he looked like a tall military guard, and he definitely couldn't see that he was a local mountain man.

"Mu Shu, you have to give this name too, at least externally, you can't let the people over there Fan Chengshui know that you are a local mountain person, I'll give you a name, Chu San, you will call this in the future." There was a kind of toughness in Chu Xian's tone, obviously whether Mu agreed or not.

Mu Yu has no opinion, now his name is Chu San.

took Luo Yong and Chu San back to Linshui County, and Chu Xian was thinking about things on the road.

Fan Chengshui asked himself to deal with the affairs of Linshui County this time, just to force himself to oppose the Sulan clan, and it was estimated that now that he was 'killing the rebels of the Sulan clan on the spot', it had been passed back to Fan Chengshui's ears in Yunlong City.

Chu Xian deliberately put such a smoke bomb to see what Fan Chengshui was going to do.

From the time he first came to office, Fan Chengshui was thinking of making himself and the Sulan clan have a feud and conflict, why is this?

Why is it the Sulan tribe?

Fan Chengshui is not a simple character, this person is extremely cunning, he has a clear purpose in doing things, and he will not provoke the enmity between the Sulan clan and himself for no reason.

It is easy to think of adding obstacles to oneself and making it difficult for oneself to govern.

Is there a deeper purpose?

Chu Xian felt that there must be, but he didn't know it for the time being, and the first time he encountered an attack by mountain people, plus this time, Chu Xian was all about planning, that is, he wanted to deliberately lead Fan Chengshui to show his hole cards to see what the other party was playing and what tricks he played.

The officials of Linshui County died a lot this time, and Chu Xian, as the government commander, naturally wanted to sit here first and stabilize the situation first, in addition, Chu Xian decided to decide on the new county order and other officials in Linshui County as soon as possible.

However, at this point, it is estimated that Fan Chengshui will insert a bar, so it should be as soon as possible.

There are no ready-made officials at hand, not none, there are also the remaining officials in Linshui County, but Chu Xian doesn't know the details of these people, and he thinks that they are also from Fan Chengshui's group.

In this way, the new county order must not be selected from these people, and Chu Xian has to find another way.

Fortunately, Chu Xian had a plan.

He found local officials, took the county's household registration and looked through it, among which there were those who were qualified to list the students, and listed them separately.

Chu Xian has a Shenhai library, and he is extremely fast at flipping through the information, and soon Chu Xian found the person he likes.

Mr. Linshui County School, Mu Chengfeng, a native of the Sulan ethnic group, studied in Chunjiang City in his early years, and even worked as a small official in the Academy of Literature, but because of his background, he has not been reused, and later returned to Linshui County to teach and educate people in the school.

is a list student, has done a holy dynasty public office, and his qualifications are enough, although if he is directly promoted to the eighth grade, it is a skipping promotion, and he has to report to the state capital, but Chu Xian is not afraid that Song Yuanzhong will not agree.

This person was chosen by himself, and Song Yuanzhong would agree even if he saw his own face.

The most important thing is that this person is from the Sulan ethnic group, and the surrounding area of Linshui County is dominated by Sulan people, and it is inappropriate to use outsiders to manage the locals, not to mention that if tyranny is imposed, it will not arouse public anger but is abnormal.

The county order has a candidate, and the rest is other officials, such as the main book, such as the canonical history, Chu Xian simply does it in one step, and all the newcomers are selected, and they are all locals.

Not only that, but the officials who survived before, Chu Xian called them all together, and then reprimanded them severely.

The government ordered the adults to be furious, these people were naturally frightened enough, and Chu Xian finally removed all these people from their official positions and sent them back to the city government to rearrange.

In this way, Chu Xian wants to completely take Linshui County and sweep Fan Chengshui's forces out of the house.

For a government order, it is just a county land, which is really nothing, and it is not worth mentioning, but Chu Xian's significance in doing so is greater than the actual value.

Chu Xian wanted to use this incident to send a signal and tell all the officials in Yunlong City that he was the government commander, and Fan Chengshui was not invincible, and he had just been in office for a few days?

As long as you can pry even a little, Chu Xian can be regarded as a victory.

However, Fan Chengshui's actions were also extremely fast, not only did he immediately send a new county government official, but also the rumors that the Sulan clan was hostile to Chu Xian and vowed to retaliate quickly spread around.

For the new officials with the so-called state government order, Chu Xian's response was to let them go back and forth, this kind of appointment, Chu Xian will not admit it, even if it is to tear his face, Chu Xian will not agree.

Speaking of which, Fan Chengshui is really bold enough, this kind of official appointment, he dares to issue it in the name of the city government without his consent, which is not good, that is, overstepping his authority.

But Chu Xian knew that if he used this to deal with Fan Chengshui, the other party would definitely use the reason that the officials sent were actually here to 'ask' for his own reasons.

And since they came to 'ask' their opinions on this decree, Chu Xian's reply was to let them go back.

And those rumors that popped up out of nowhere, absolutely out of nowhere.

In fact, Chu Xian knows better than anyone else, with the Duke of the Mu Clan, how can the Sulan Clan say that they want to seek revenge on themselves? No need to ask, this must be the wind deliberately released by Fan Chengshui, for what?

Blowing, building momentum?

There is such a possibility.

If it weren't for these rumors, it would still be difficult for Chu Xian to guess Fan Chengshui's plans, but with this rumor, Chu Xian already had a bold guess.

Fan Chengshui not only has to deal with himself, but also has to deal with the Sulan tribe.

The easiest way is to 'kill' so many people of the Sulan tribe and make a feud, and the Sulan tribe is looking for someone to assassinate them, that's logical, right?

If he is killed, it will inevitably cause the state government to be furious, after all, he is the Holy Dynasty from the Liupin Mansion Order, the official, was assassinated by Diao Min, which will inevitably attract revenge, add fuel to the fire, and may even lead to the extermination of the Sulan clan.

This is killing two birds with one stone, with Fan Chengshui's temperament, he likes this kind of thing the most, but the question is, what is the purpose of Fan Chengshui's doing?

Just to fight for power and profit with yourself?

That idea is enough to drive yourself away, killing people, especially killing officials, this is too risky, and if you are not careful, you may put Fan Chengshui and himself into it.

Just to exterminate the Sulan?

That's even more unreasonable, what kind of grudge do Fan Chengshui and the Sulan clan have? Even if there is, it should be a few people, and they can't be guilty of plotting to destroy the whole clan.

Therefore, no matter how you look at it, it is a little unreasonable, at least if it were Chu Xian himself, he would not choose this method to deal with his 'political enemies', let alone use this method to deal with a local tribe.

But on the contrary, Fan Chengshui is doing this now, so Chu Xian knows that there must be a reason why he doesn't understand, and this reason is the real purpose of Fan Chengshui doing these things.

The officials of Linshui County, from top to bottom, were all selected by Chu Xian, that is to say, Linshui County is now 'surnamed Chu'.

This is a good start, after taking care of the things here, Chu Xian will return to Yunlong City immediately, because the city government is the key, and Chu Xian must disintegrate little by little and replace it with his own people.

The best way is to make excuses, find reasons, and make reasonable use of rules to replace people.

It's just that obviously Fan Chengshui had already expected Chu Xian's possible moves, so this time when he went back, Chu Xian found that the attitude of the officials in the city government towards him had changed one hundred and eighty degrees, at least on the surface, it was difficult to find fault with these people.

In this way, there is no way to remove officials without a valid reason.

But of course, this kind of thing can't help Chu Xian, making something out of nothing, referring to the deer as a horse, Chu Xian doesn't mind doing it, but the problem is that the situation in this city is different from Linshui County, there are only a few officials in the county, and the level will definitely not exceed the eighth grade, so Chu Xian uses newcomers, even if he is promoted exceptionally, there is no way to replace those key positions.

I still don't have my own team in my hands, no one.

Even if you are looking for some newcomers, at most up to the ninth grade, how can the officials at the bottom control the city government?

In the end, Chu Xian's thought of coping was to dig the foot of the wall.

After all, Fan Chengshui is just an individual, he is alone, and he controls Yunlong City, including more than 20 counties below, relying on many subordinate officials.

And among these officials, there must be some important figures, such as the history of the city government, and the pen of the city government, these are Fan Chengshui's right-hand men, and any one of them is enough to shake Fan Chengshui's power.

It's just that whether this wall can be pried open is really hard to say, these people are all pulled up by Fan Chengshui from top to bottom, if they want to betray Fan Chengshui, it may not be feasible to do it, and the cost will definitely not be small.

However, Chu Xian's advantage is that he is barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, even if it just makes Fan Chengshui suspicious, he can also provoke the relationship between the other party and important subordinates.

This kind of sowing discord is useless for some people, but it is absolutely useful for people like Fan Chengshui who are generous on the surface, but in fact they are narrow-minded.

Fan Chengshui's subordinates are also familiar with Fan Chengshui's character, which can trigger speculation between them.

So next, Chu Xian asked Song Ye to go to the important officials of the city government to eat and drink all day long, the other party didn't agree at first, it was okay, he went to invite every day, after inviting in the morning, and in the afternoon, he had to eat this meal, even if there was only Song Ye eating at a table, and no one really came to the banquet, he had to get it.

That's tactics.

Fan Chengshui can't be exhaustive, the more generous and open-minded he is, the more he will stare at who dares to go to the banquet, but Chu Xian's choice of Song Ye is to take this into account.
