Ling Wuxin took his personal guards out early in the morning, mainly to personally inspect the government offices under the jurisdiction of the five major urban districts.

The local government office is in charge of all government affairs within the jurisdiction, covering population control, household registration management and many other aspects. Its responsibilities are to transmit and issue government orders and convey public opinion. In addition, it must maintain public security and stability in the jurisdiction. It is responsible for matters ranging from large-scale robberies and robberies to civil disputes caused by petty thefts, and even complaints from the public.

The internal responsibilities of the yamen are clearly divided, and the department head responsibility system is implemented, which is then led by the head of the general yamen.

In addition, the inner city is divided into districts, and the villages outside the city are also divided into districts with clear responsibilities and decentralized power.

So far, only Jincheng has implemented such a pilot project. This is also the result of Hong Yi's great efforts and a year of thorough cleaning up of the previously complicated and large patrol security team. This adjustment was made to prevent the situation where one person has absolute power.

As for the appointment of officials, the main positions are currently all filled with loyal subordinates trained by Ling Wuxin's brothers. Ling Wuxin plans to use Jincheng as a model demonstration, and then radiate to all parts of Shu. Anyway, he has a lot of people under him, so he is not afraid of not being able to take care of them. After the operation is normal, he can also recruit talents from the public and train them as grassroots personnel.

As for the supervisory department of officials, it must be a responsible supervisory department assigned by the subordinates led by Lao San Ye Xiao to exercise the power of supervision.

Thus, the rudiments of the zoning, grading and decentralization management system have been established. Ling Wuxin mainly inspected the operation of the government offices in the east, south, west, north and center of the city to see if there were any unreasonable issues and whether the officials were efficient. This was the first practice, and he hoped to find problems as soon as possible, correct them and then promote them.

Ling Wuxin attached great importance to it. He was determined to realize the strict power and responsibility distribution network in his mind as soon as possible. It was not limited to the public security office. The responsibility management network of other industries would also be implemented in the same way and implemented in each jurisdiction without any omissions. This network was the grand blueprint in his mind, and he wanted to roll it out as quickly as possible.

Compared to Ling Wuxin's side, where he was confident and everything was proceeding in an orderly manner, Xiao Qi's side was a little chaotic.

Xiao Qi brought hundreds of personal soldiers from the palace and waited at the Sanliting outside the east of the city early in the morning. However, no one was seen until noon, so Xiao Qi ordered the troops to advance and wait at the Wuliting.

Xiao Qi calmly led his men to hold the position until noon, and ordered his personal soldiers to dig a pit and bury a pot at Wuliting to cook lunch.

However, countless vendors had passed by the intersection ahead, but there was still no sign of Sixth Brother and others.

Xiao Qi's heart sank. He examined the troops he was leading, thought for a while, and finally decided to continue moving forward. He led his troops to garrison at Shili Pavilion east of the city. He immediately arranged for people to conduct secret investigations in order to prevent emergencies in advance and provide timely assistance.

The messenger on horseback went back and forth several times to report the situation, but there was still no sign of Sixth Brother Lu Yao. They had received a message before saying that he could enter the city today, but how come half a day had passed and there was still no sign of him? It was a bit worrying.

"Go another fifty miles!" Xiao Qi asked the messenger to tell the scouts ahead to continue to move forward. As the sun was setting, he had to take control of the initiative and find out what was going on.

"Shili Pavilion, leave two people behind to contact the people inside the city, and the main force will follow. Advance thirty miles first." Xiao Qi reorganized the troops and pushed forward again to facilitate support.

After hearing the order, more than a hundred personal soldiers shouted "Gee! Gee! Gee!" and rode forward in unison. Thirty miles was a piece of cake for the cavalry. The difficulty lay in that they didn't know the situation ahead and they didn't have much time left. If they couldn't get help by dark, it would be troublesome.

Xiaoliu and Lu Yao and their companions really encountered some trouble. Before entering Shu, there were often many refugees following their caravan. Some of them did not continue to follow them when they arrived at the destination, and some joined them along the way. They had seen such scenes many times along the way and were used to it. They had some sympathy for the weak and unarmed people and wanted to protect them as much as possible.

After entering Shu, the number of refugees following them increased instead of decreased after countless groups of them came and went. The guards had to be vigilant, fearing that they were coming with ill intentions.

A lot of the goods had been received by the outlets along the way, and now they only had ten wagons of goods and sixty to seventy people. They could have breathed a sigh of relief after entering Shu, but the group of refugees behind them was extremely complex and had not yet been fully explored, which was a hidden danger.

Just as Lu Yao's guards were becoming more vigilant, several big men suddenly rushed out from the group of refugees, holding sticks and rushing towards the convoy.

The guards quickly drew their swords to resist. Lu Yao shouted, "Don't hurt anyone first, let's see what they really want." But those big men were like crazy, rushing straight towards the carriage regardless of the obstacles, and the crowd, regardless of strength, surrounded them.

At this time, a sharp whistle came from the crowd, and the refugees instantly quieted down, huddling on the side of the road for fear that the two sides would fight and hurt themselves. The thought of taking advantage of the opportunity that had just arisen in my heart was temporarily suppressed.

A man in a black robe led a group of twenty or thirty men who were also wearing black and masked. They slowly walked out of the woods beside the road. He sneered, "Do you think you'll be safe once you enter Shu? We've got our eyes on the things in this car. If you stay here, I can still keep you alive."

Lu Yao was shocked, it turned out that they were really after the goods. But he said calmly: "Do you know whose goods these are?"

The man in black robe said, "Humph, no matter who it belongs to, you have to stay today."

Both sides were holding weapons in a stalemate, and the encirclement was getting smaller and smaller, and they were about to fight. Lu Yao was worried about the safety of Uncle Lu's family and his brothers. "When we start, everyone protect your own safety, and don't worry about the goods!"

The black-robed man didn't give them time and shouted angrily: "Hmph! The goods stay, and you get out of here! I am Shu Daoshan..."

"Dang..."

"bass……"

"choke……"

The escort team was not pushovers who would be threatened. They acted swiftly and immediately engaged the surrounding men in black with swords and weapons. They broke through the encirclement in an instant, but the convoy slowed down a lot. They were attacked from both sides and pursued from behind. For a moment, the convoy was trapped. There was also a group of seemingly innocent refugees following them, keeping a close eye on the battle and waiting for an opportunity to act.

As they had already entered Shu and there were too many refugees behind them, the guards were restrained from taking any action and did not use any killing moves. They wanted to force the refugees to retreat. However, the convoy was soon entangled again just after it was rescued. The situation remained in a stalemate for several miles. As the sun was setting, people on both sides became anxious and restless.

Suddenly, dust and smoke billowed in the distance, and Xiao Qi arrived with his personal soldiers.

Xiao Qi shouted, "Sixth brother, I'm here." The personal soldiers quickly surrounded the refugees.

Xiao Qi said in a cold voice: "How dare you rob in broad daylight, don't you want to live?" The man in black robe was horrified. He didn't expect there would be reinforcements. Knowing that he had lost the power, he dared not resist anymore.

"Clang!" The knives fell to the ground. The man in black robes saw that the situation was not good, and took a few of his confidants to try to escape in the chaos, but how could they escape the force of these personal soldiers? They were all captured and tied up as prisoners.

The refugees also fled in all directions. Lu Yao breathed a sigh of relief, smiled at Xiao Qi, and then drove towards the city together.

"Xiao Qi, these refugees must be thoroughly interrogated before they can be allowed into the city. I have just witnessed their numbness and greed!" Xiao Liu Lu Yao saw the refugees fleeing and had no intention of disciplining them at the moment. Fortunately, there was a special department for managing refugees at the city gate. He would go back and remind them later that not everyone in Shu can be treated preferentially. Humph, Xiao Liu didn't think there was anything wrong with holding a grudge.

"That's right. I think eldest brother will be happy to see the actions of the various government offices. Maybe the people in the government offices can use this to help others practice and improve their governance capabilities!" Xiaoqi and his sixth brother Lu Yao got in touch smoothly, and his heart was at ease. Only then did he have the mind to talk to his sixth brother about the great changes in the city.
