After the whole sect traveled to ancient times, I led the rebellion

"General Situ."

Zhuge Huaian held up the fan and smiled at Situ Jin:

"Long time no see."

Mu Qing looked at Situ Jin, the young general.

Just because he relied on a garrison of more than 500 people to defend Liuri City against 3,000 refugees, Mu Qing had a little respect for Situ Jin.

Unlike Zhou Jinwei, Situ Jin always stayed in Anping City and did not surrender until the main city of Anping was about to be broken.

Mu Qing glanced at Situ Jin several times.

It’s a pity that such a general is actually a government official.

Mu Qing appears to be aloof on the surface, but in fact he is already planning how to poach Situ Jin's girl.

After Situ Jin and Mu Qing introduced each other, Situ Jin discovered that Zhuge Huaian had actually chosen the eight-year-old Huangxian County Magistrate as his aide.

The soldiers from Huang County came to help and saved the people in the city. Situ Jin seemed to have noticed something, but he still didn't say a word.

There were only a hundred garrison troops left in the city, slightly fewer in number than Mu Qing's silver-armored soldiers.

From the moment Mu Qing entered the city, she had already taken the situation into her own hands.

After Mu Qing defeats the migrant soldiers, he will next face Situ Jin from the government.

However, Situ Jin seemed to have ignored their group. No matter what Mu Qing did in Huang County, Situ Jin had no opinion. Even these hundred officers and soldiers seemed to be vaguely led by Mu Qing.

Mu Qing curled his lips.

What should I do if such a sensible person wants to poach my employees?

Not long after the migrant soldiers entered Anping City, they were besieged and surrendered by two groups of troops, so they did not cause too much loss to the civilians.

However, many buildings in the main city were destroyed after the war.

The people in the main city were hiding in their houses for fear of being affected by the war.

They didn't dare go out until the war was over.

The people in Anping's main city looked at the silver-armored soldiers on the street with trepidation.

The four thousand silver-armored soldiers brought by Mu Qing were temporarily stationed in Anping.

They all came from Huang County and saw the collapsed houses in the main city of Anping, as well as some civilians who were accidentally affected by the war and injured.

These silver-armored soldiers were reluctant to do so, and without waiting for Mu Qing's order, Mu Wu took these soldiers to help the people in Anping's main city repair their houses.

Although it was Mu Qing's silver-armored soldiers who helped the garrison defeat the migrant soldiers.

But the people in Anping's main city still had some fear towards these armored soldiers.

Especially when seeing a team of silver-armored soldiers covered in steel armor, with no discernible expressions and even carrying sharp weapons, these people did not dare to make eye contact with the soldiers.

When the silver-armored soldiers silently used their hands to lift up the fallen beams bit by bit and reinforce the dilapidated houses in the main city of Anping, the people of the main city of Anping began to feel a little closer to the soldiers.

Mu Qing took over the government affairs of Anping Prefecture on the grounds of stabilizing the people's emotions and repairing the buildings to help the people of Anping City survive the chaos.

The reason why Mu Qing was able to settle in Anping so smoothly was also because of Situ Jin's tacit approval.

After Zhou Jinwei fled Anping Prefecture, his staff left one after another.

Among them, those officials who were afraid of death and were not locals also followed Zhou Jinwei and fled overnight.

Most of the remaining officials in Anping Prefecture were natives of Anping. After Mu Qing gathered everyone together, he temporarily appointed Zhuge Huaian and Shen Moyan as Tongpan and Tongzhi.

In such a big city, even the prefect ran away. Mu Qing was really beginning to suspect that the Tianchi Dynasty was about to end.

Not only officials in Anping Prefecture valued their lives, but so did the landlords and nobles.

Originally, the landlords in Anping's main city did not leave with Zhou Jinwei. In their opinion, it was impossible for the migrant soldiers to attack Anping so quickly.

When the migrant soldiers really started to attack Anping, they took advantage of the fact that the city was not yet closed and fled Anping Prefecture with their entire family.

This makes it easier for Mu Qing to act.

Three days after entering the city, Mu Qing completely took control of Anping Prefecture.

Mu Qing, Zhuge Huaian and Shen Moyan had just cleared out a group of officials who were eating for free in the government office, and everyone started to check the accounts.

Even Guangsha City is still suffering from famine, not to mention Anping Prefecture.

In order to win the hearts of the people in Anping Prefecture.

The first thing Mu Qing wanted to do was to ensure that the people here had enough food.

only……

After checking the accounts for an hour, Mu Qing and Shen Moyan both frowned.

"There are too many fake accounts in Anping Prefecture."

Shen Moyan spoke truthfully as he flipped through the account book, trying to find the money from the mess after Anping Prefecture collected part of the autumn tax.

Mu Qing remained silent, and it took him a while before he could hold back his anger:

"What a great guy Zhou Jinwei is! He even took several boxes of gold with him when he ran away!"

"Isn't that old man Zhou Jinwei going to be an official anymore?"

“That’s gold!”

"It's all gone!"

!

Mu Qing cursed and swore, and all the officials in the yamen listened to Mu Qing's voice.

After Shen Moyan and Mu Qing checked the accounts, they found out that they wanted to deduct some silver from the city to use for disaster relief.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Jinwei even exchanged the tax silver that had not been paid this year into gold and ran away.

Anping Prefecture's fiscal expenditure has not been redundant, but is now in deficit!

The local officials who were still working in the yamen looked at each other and lowered their heads silently. They felt ashamed that their former superior was obviously afraid of death.

When Situ Jin, who was on patrol, heard about the account book, he took the soldiers around him and ran from the west of the city to the east of the city where the government office was located without taking a breath.

"Zhou Jinwei really did such a wicked thing."

"Ah."

Mu Qing continued to sort out the blue accounts while weakly replying to Situ Jin.

Situ Jin clenched his fists, veins bulging.

This is the land that countless people in Anping Prefecture have worked hard to cultivate for half a year.

Zhou Jinwei actually embezzled all the money.

The scale in Situ Jin's heart that had always leaned towards the government suddenly tilted, and he punched the pillar.

After a long time, Situ Jin finally spoke:

"Thank you for the trouble County Magistrate Rao Mu took in Anping Prefecture. I will find a way to make up for the shortfall."

Mu Qing was just about to say no when Situ Jin disappeared.

Situ Jin has been practicing martial arts since he was young and is very quick in coming and going.

Compared with those who practiced martial arts, Mu Qing suddenly felt that the two ordinary self-defense techniques he had learned seemed a little inadequate.

I should find a proper master to practice martial arts with me sometime. I don’t know if it’s too late now.

Mu Qing did not let Situ Jin be responsible for too many Anping affairs. These days, Situ Jin has been acting as an ordinary public security official.

It’s just that it seems that the Zhou Jinwei incident was too much of a blow to Situ Jin.

Situ Jin actually began to care about the government office's warehouse.

As long as Situ Jin does not become a marginal figure and participates in the affairs of Anping Prefecture, Mu Qing will have a way to bring Situ Jin to his family.

Although Anping Prefecture was poor, every powerful landlord had many granaries.

No one in Anping Prefecture was richer than them.

When these people fled, they only took their valuables with them, such as Zhou Jinwei, who left with gold.

Therefore, when Situ Jin ran out of stones to defend against the migrant soldiers on the city wall, he asked the soldiers to transport rockery stones from the homes of these powerful landlords.

Since everyone had left Anping, Situ Jin assumed that they would never return to Anping, and their house naturally belonged to Anping.

The large amount of grain was difficult to transport, so it remained in their respective houses in Anping Prefecture.
