Until this time, Sun Bingchen, who had been sitting upright, stood up and walked to the unconscious Ye Tiancheng who was captured. He looked down at Ye Tiancheng and said lightly, "Yijie, you watch him personally and don't let anything happen to him!"
"Yes, sir!" Liang Yiji put away his sword, clasped his fist towards Sun Bingchen, and then took Ye Tiancheng away with a few guards.
"General..." Sun Bingchen looked at Huangfu Qianqi, who had a serious face. Huangfu Qianqi immediately stepped forward and lowered his hands to listen to the order, "I am here!"
Until this moment, Huangfu Qianqi still felt a little frightened in his heart and was full of awe for Sun Bingchen. It turned out that the purpose of this inspector's coming to Pingxi County was Ye Tiancheng. However, until the last second, even Ye Tiancheng probably didn't expect that he would fall into the trap set for him by Sun Bingchen.
If the inspector touches Ye Tiancheng here, it is equivalent to touching the Ye family. Thinking of the turbulence and collision behind this, Huangfu Qianqi is both excited and uneasy. As the governor of Pingxi County, he has heard some news about the things that the Ye family did in Ganzhou, even if he has not seen them in person. He has long been dissatisfied with Ye Tiancheng, but as the governor of Pingxi County, he has to be controlled by Ye Tiancheng on weekdays. Even if he has more ideas, he can only keep them in his heart.
"How many soldiers are there inside and outside Pingxi City now? Are they all under your command?" Sun Bingchen looked at Huangfu Qianqi with burning eyes.
"There are now ten camps in and outside the city, with a total of more than 26,000 soldiers. Eight of these ten camps can be completely under my command. The remaining camps of Liu and Tu will be Ye Tiancheng's confidants, and they will only obey Ye Tiancheng's orders on weekdays..."
"Yes, that's right. It's the same as what I know. Captains Liu Quanzhong and Tu Chunyun are indeed on Ye Tiancheng's side!" Sun Bingchen nodded and continued to say to Huangfu Qianqi, "I'm going to give you a task now?"
"May I ask your Excellency's orders?"
"What happened here is unknown outside. You go out now and arrest Liu Quanzhong and Tu Chunyun. At the same time, you must ensure that the Liu and Tu camps do not mutiniate or cause chaos. Can you do it?"
"Don't worry, sir. I just need to go out and find a reason to get the battalion commanders to hold a meeting at the Governor's Mansion. Once the two arrive, I can capture them. Most of the soldiers in the Liu Camp and the Tu Camp are loyal and righteous. As long as Liu Quanzhong and Tu Chunyun are captured, I will go to the two camps and they will absolutely obey your orders!"
"Yeah!" Sun Bingchen nodded, then looked at Yan Liqiang with a friendly smile on his face, and asked with concern, "Liqiang, are you okay?"
"It's okay, it's just a minor flesh wound. I can still fight!" Yan Liqiang said readily.
Sun Bingchen nodded in satisfaction. "Well, Li Qiang, you will have to make another hard trip tonight and go to the Governor's Mansion with the Governor. After you capture Liu Quanzhong and Tu Chunyun, you will bring them here!"
Hearing that Sun Bingchen had assigned him another person, Yan Liqiang could only obey, "Yes!"
"Sir, I have another question?" Huangfu Qianqi hesitated and asked a question.
"Please say!"
"If the Shatu people in the city learn that Ye Tiancheng has been arrested, and they make a commotion and besiege the military camp and government offices, or even riot, I don't know how to deal with them. Can you please give me some advice, sir?"
"If all the Shatu people in the city riot, can the ten battalions of soldiers inside and outside Pingxi City suppress them and maintain the peace of the people in the city?"
Huangfu Qianqi raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice, "Although the Shatu people are numerous, there are not many who can really fight. Their organization and equipment are not as good as mine. If they really want to riot, the ten battalions of soldiers in Pingxi City are enough to suppress them!"
Sun Bingchen smiled coldly, "If that's the case, then why say more? If anyone from Shatu dares to make a noise or move, I grant you the power to make a decision on the spot and kill them all. Tell your soldiers that the heads of Shatu people will be counted according to their achievements on the battlefield!"
The inspector who was drinking with a smile just now, spoke words like a killing god at this time, which made Yan Liqiang feel cold. If this word really got passed down, and the Shatu people really dared to take action, then, there would be no other way waiting for them except death. The inspector Sun Bingchen's words turned the ten battalions of soldiers stationed in Pingxi City into tigers.
After receiving the order from Sun Bingchen, Yan Liqiang left here with Huangfu Qianqi. Before leaving, Yan Liqiang couldn't help but take another look at the maid who was beside Ye Tiancheng just now, but found that the woman lifted her face and took off a mask, revealing a picturesque face behind the mask.
Feeling Yan Liqiang's gaze, the woman turned her head and looked at Yan Liqiang with such cold eyes that Yan Liqiang couldn't help but shiver.
Damn, this woman is just like Li Mochou.
In a short period of time, the manor where Sun Bingchen was staying had completely changed from relaxed on the outside to tense on the inside. The guards who were packing up just now were all on the move at this time. They were all wearing armor and holding crossbows, guarding various places in the manor. The original managers and servants in the manor had been gathered together at this time and were all under guard. They dared not make any unusual movements, and no information could be passed on.
When Huangfu Qianqi saw the two personal soldiers beside him, the two personal soldiers were resting in a yard in the manor, patiently waiting for Huangfu Qianqi to come back.
The people who came in with Ye Tiancheng had just been separated from them and led to another courtyard, and were captured silently by Liang Yijie. The two personal soldiers beside Huangfu Qianqi did not hear any movement, so until now, these two personal soldiers still did not know what had happened in the manor.
“Sir…” Seeing Huangfu Qianqi coming into the yard, the two bodyguards who were resting stood up at once.
"Return to the Governor's Mansion!" Huangfu Qianqi did not say much. He gave the order quickly and neatly, and left the house with two personal soldiers and Yan Liqiang.
A few minutes later, Huangfu Qianqi, Yan Liqiang, and two of Huangfu Qianqi's personal soldiers rode on their rhinoceros horses, left the manor, and rushed towards the Governor's Mansion.
After leaving the manor, Huangfu Qianqi looked back and found that the entire manor was still brightly lit, and there was almost no difference from when he came. He was secretly shocked by Sun Bingchen's methods. Then he looked at Yan Liqiang, who was still a teenager and rode the rhinoceros horse with him. Huangfu Qianqi's impression of Yan Liqiang was completely different.
If it were someone else, they might not quite understand why Sun Bingchen asked Yan Liqiang to follow him, but Huangfu Qianqi, who had been in the officialdom and the military for most of his life, understood that Sun Bingchen sent Yan Liqiang out to make merit. There was no risk at all in arresting Liu Quanzhong and Tu Chunyun. As long as this young man followed him and then took Liu Quanzhong and Tu Chunyun back, it would be a merit, that is, he participated in the arrest of Ye Tiancheng's important followers in Pingxi County.
Thinking of this, Huangfu Qianqi even felt a little jealous, because he knew that when Ye Tiancheng rushed towards Sun Bingchen just now, the young man named Yan Liqiang rushed out to protect Sun Bingchen against Ye Tiancheng without hesitation. Sun Bingchen had seen it and gained his trust. He had a bright future. Sun Bingchen asked him to follow him, which was not only a chance for him to make merit, but also a sign that he would be promoted and reused in the future. Otherwise, as long as Sun Bingchen said a word, he could just capture Liu Quanzhong and Tu Chunyun and send a team to send them over. He would guarantee that not a single hair would be lost. Why should he let a young man follow him...
Sometimes, for a person, a momentary choice can determine many things.
Feeling Huangfu Qianqi's gaze on him, Yan Liqiang pretended to be too much, smiled at Huangfu Qianqi and said nothing. However, his smile caught Huangfu Qianqi's eyes and made him feel that Yan Liqiang had already understood Sun Bingchen's intention of sending him out.
Of course, Yan Liqiang had also thought of what Huangfu Qianqi could think of. However, at this time, in addition to thinking about these things in his heart, Yan Liqiang was still sighing at the magic of fate. At the same time, he was also a little helpless. What he didn't expect was that after going around in a circle, he thought he had temporarily escaped from the entanglement with the Ye family and jumped out of this circle, but unexpectedly, in the end he still jumped onto Sun Bingchen's chariot and collided head-on with the Ye family.
At this time, Yan Liqiang only hoped that Sun Bingchen had a backup plan. This time, attacking Ye Tiancheng in Pingxi County was just the beginning. It would be best if he could have the ability to eliminate the Ye family as well. Otherwise, the Ye family would retaliate, and that would not be a joke.
…
In just a short while, Yan Liqiang followed Huangfu Qianqi to the Governor's Mansion that he was familiar with.
As soon as he arrived at the Governor's Mansion, Huangfu Qianqi found a messenger and asked him to gather all the battalion commanders to the Governor's Mansion for a meeting. As for the reason, it was very simple - to arrange for the escort of Inspector Sun Bingchen along the way when he leaves Pingxi County tomorrow.
After sending the messenger to pass the message quickly, Huangfu Qianqi called one of his confidants in front of Yan Liqiang and made arrangements quietly, preparing to send a bunch of swordsmen and axemen to rush forward at his signal as soon as the two men arrived...
Yan Liqiang, who was listening nearby, couldn't help but laugh, "General, there's no need to do this. I've come up with a plan that will make sure those two men surrender when they get here, so you don't have to let the soldiers around you take risks!"
"Is there such a method?" Huangfu Qianqi was a little unconvinced.
But after hearing Yan Liqiang's words, Huangfu Qianqi applauded...
…
In less than an hour, the battalion commanders in Pingxi City, who had received the military order from the Governor's Mansion, came to the White Tiger Hall of the Governor's Mansion to discuss matters. The eight battalion commanders arrived one after another. After the eight battalion commanders arrived, they waited for more than ten minutes before two captains wearing battalion commander robes and armor arrived as usual.
"Pa..." Huangfu Qianqi glared at the last two camp commanders and slapped the table, "Liu Quanzhong, Tu Chunyun, why are you two late for the White Tiger Hall meeting today? Do you know your crime?"
"We two rushed here as soon as we received the notice from the commander-in-chief. It was dark and the road was long, so we were a little late. I wonder what crime we have committed?"
Although the two battalion commanders were a little surprised at Huangfu Qianqi's anger, one of them still spoke up to refute. Judging from the battalion commander's appearance, he did not seem to be very afraid of Huangfu Qianqi.
"How dare you! Someone, come and take these two down. I'd like to ask the county magistrate for justice..." Following Huangfu Qianqi's order, the two teams of personal guards around him rushed out and held the two men down.
The two men wanted to resist at first, but they only struggled symbolically for a few times before letting the guards around Huangfu Qianqi take away their weapons and tie them up with ropes. They were not afraid at all. One of them even sneered at Huangfu Qianqi, looking like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water. "Then let the county governor judge whether the commander-in-chief is too harsh on us..."
Huangfu Qianqi gave a look, and two other teams of personal soldiers rushed out. In addition to tying up the two men, they also put a full set of metal shackles on their hands, feet, and necks...
“Huangfu Qianqi, what are you doing…” Seeing that Huangfu Qianqi had put the two of them in the kind of iron shackles that only serious criminals would use, the two camp commanders suddenly changed their expressions and shouted…
"Idiot!" Huangfu Qianqi cursed...
…
Happy National Day to everyone!
