Yan Liqiang had just come out of the hall where Sun Bingchen was, and after handing Liu Quanzhong and Tu Chunyun over to the guards around Sun Bingchen, he saw Liang Yiji.
When he saw Liang Yijie, Yan Liqiang quietly pulled Liang Yijie aside and asked in a low voice, "Brother Liang, why are there so many rangers in the manor now? When I saw a few of them when I came here just now, I was shocked. I thought something happened in the manor!"
"Don't worry, the knights who came to the manor were arranged by Lord Sun a long time ago. They stand with us..." Liang Yiji said with a smile.
Yan Liqiang was startled for a moment, "Could it be that Guo Shanfeng caused trouble in Pingxi City a few days ago, and the Lord has already sent those rangers here?"
"Of course. Otherwise, do you think that you came to Pingxi County without any preparation? It just so happened that a large number of rangers gathered in Pingxi City at that time, so you took advantage of the situation and sent those rangers here. In recent days, those rangers have already collected a lot of evidence of Ye Tiancheng's crimes. It was because the evidence was already conclusive that you took action."
"How could those rangers obey your orders?"
"Hahaha, well, you'll know if you stay with the master for a few more days. Ranger is just one of those people's identities. They have another identity, which is disciples of the Ming Wang Sect. The master has an extraordinary relationship with the Ming Wang Sect. Just one sentence is enough to ask a few disciples of the Ming Wang Sect to help you do something!" Liang Yijie seemed to be in a good mood. As he spoke, he patted Yan Liqiang's shoulder heavily and looked at Yan Liqiang with appreciation. "Just now in the hall, Liqiang, you performed well. I thought you didn't dare to make a move at that time. I didn't expect that when Ye Tiancheng rushed towards the master, you were the first to rush up and confronted Ye Tiancheng without fear. This is what a servant around the master should do. It's worthy of the master's liking for you!"
Yan Liqiang touched his head and laughed, "I didn't think too much about it just now. I just saw Ye Tiancheng was about to attack you, so I couldn't just stand by and watch..."
"As long as we take down Ye Tiancheng and his main followers, there will be no chaos in Pingxi City!" After experiencing the scene just now, Liang Yiji's attitude towards Yan Liqiang suddenly took a step up and became more friendly. He felt that he truly treated Yan Liqiang as his own.
“Brother Liang, I heard that Ye Tiancheng is one of the three Yes of the Ye family in Ganzhou. Now that Lord Sun has captured Ye Tiancheng in Pingxi City, how can the Ye family let it go? You must know that the Ye family in Ganzhou, especially in Weiyuan County, is by no means comparable to ordinary families. This... Pingxi City is fine, will there be any trouble in Weiyuan County..." Yan Liqiang asked half curiously and half worriedly. After all, Sun Bingchen and Liang Yijie are not native to Ganzhou, they have fewer concerns when doing things, and his home is in Ganzhou. In the eyes of Sun Bingchen and Liang Yijie, what he did today showed his intentions and gained their trust, but in the eyes of the Ye family, he had already boarded a pirate ship, and would fight to the death with the Ye family in the future. Even if he only considered his father, Yan Liqiang had to be prepared.
"Lord Sun's inspection of the northwest this time is aimed at the Ye family. For their own selfish interests, the Ye family colluded with the Shatu people and secretly did many things that were outrageous to both humans and gods. They have become a cancer of Ganzhou and the empire and must be eradicated. Don't worry, Lord Sun will capture Ye Tiancheng in Pingxi City tonight, and Ganzhou Governor Lei Sitong and Lord Sun will also take action today. No matter how powerful the Ye family is, they are no match for the court!" Liang Yiji said to Yan Liqiang murderously.
"That's good, that's good..." Yan Liqiang breathed a long sigh of relief.
Thinking of his last experience, Yan Liqiang could only sigh that the butterfly effect he brought was too terrifying. Last time, even if he died, within a few years, everything in the Ye family was fine, and Ye Tiancheng was still the governor of Pingxi County. But this time, he survived. From the night when Ye Xiao was beaten to death by the people in Pingxi City, everything became different.
"Li Qiang, you've worked hard today. There's nothing else to do later. If you feel tired, go and take a rest..."
"I don't have anything to do here. I can't sleep even if I really want to. I'll just help you, Brother Liang, to watch over these prisoners!"
…
Regarding the whole process of Sun Bingchen taking down Ye Tiancheng and quickly stabilizing Pingxi City, Yan Liqiang was more of a witness who happened to be there than a participant.
During the whole process, he was just fortunate enough to see what happened and made a tiny contribution. He himself did not decide the course of events, nor did he play any irreplaceable role. Even until Sun Bingchen and Liang Yiji kindly asked him to rest, there were some things he had not figured out.
In his previous life, he read those time-travel novels. After the protagonists traveled to another world, they could always kill everyone with ease. The characters in those other worlds always seemed to have poor IQs and were easily fooled around by the protagonists. But this time, when he truly lived again in this world, he realized that whoever treats others as fools is the biggest fool.
Yan Liqiang asked himself that even if his IQ was not as high as Einstein's, he could still be considered a smart person. However, even with his IQ, it took him a whole night to figure out what had happened.
It was because he understood the situation that Yan Liqiang felt truly in awe of Inspector Sun Bingchen.
Yan Liqiang felt that from the very beginning, when Sun Bingchen asked him to be his attendant, he was just throwing a smokescreen for Ye Tiancheng and confusing him.
There might be something about my abilities that Sun Bingchen admires, but Sun Bingchen promoted me not just out of admiration for me.
If I were Ye Tiancheng, what would I think if I saw the inspector who came to Pingxi City promoted a young man from Pingxi City to be his attendant without any scruples? There would only be two thoughts. The first thought was that there were not many people who could be used by Sun Bingchen. The second thought was that Sun Bingchen was not on guard against me. If Sun Bingchen really wanted to do something to Ye Tiancheng when he came to Pingxi City this time, then, after just meeting him once, Sun Bingchen temporarily promoted a young man with unknown background in Pingxi City to be by his side. That was a taboo. Wasn't Sun Bingchen afraid that the young man was Ye Tiancheng's man
It was probably this step that made Ye Tiancheng suddenly relax his vigilance against Sun Bingchen.
And it was not just this one step that paralyzed Ye Tiancheng, but many steps.
These days, Sun Bingchen openly met with those officials in the manor...
Sun Bingchen's quick inspection of Pingxi City...
Even before Sun Bingchen decided to attack Ye Tiancheng, he asked the guards and ceremonial guards to pack up their things...
With all these smoke screens put out, Ye Tiancheng couldn't help but be confused. It was precisely because of these preparations that when the real action was about to take place tonight, Ye Tiancheng arrived at the manor, he was completely unprepared and could not imagine that Sun Bingchen would attack him.
In fact, long before Sun Bingchen came to Pingxi City, the rangers who stood with him had already arrived in Pingxi City, making preparations in secret, weaving a net to cover Ye Tiancheng.
Even the maid who fought with Ye Tiancheng had been lurking in the manor earlier, waiting to take down Ye Tiancheng in one fell swoop. The spies that Ye Tiancheng had deployed in the manor made it difficult for Ye Tiancheng to see the real crisis.
Sun Bingchen's action tonight was not a spur of the moment action, but was premeditated and he had a tacit understanding and coordination with Lei Sitong, the governor of Ganzhou.
Pingxi City and Ganzhou City are not close to each other. It takes two days for a fast horse to transmit a message between the two places. The tacit understanding and coordination between Sun Bingchen and Lei Sitong naturally require time to discuss and coordinate. Where did this time for discussion and coordination come from? It is estimated that it was completed during the few days when Sun Bingchen was sightseeing in Pingxi City.
But this is not what Yan Liqiang admires the most. What Yan Liqiang admires the most is Sun Bingchen's control and confidence in Huangfu Qianqi. He knows that as long as he captures Ye Tiancheng, Huangfu Qianqi will definitely stand on his side and can quickly stabilize the situation in Pingxi City. This is the confidence that Sun Bingchen dared to bring more than a hundred people to Pingxi County and capture the county magistrate.
When it is still, the sea is calm and peaceful; when it moves, the sky collapses and the earth cracks, with thunder and lightning!
To be honest, even if Yan Liqiang had two lifetimes of experience, he would still be far from being able to match such means, strategies, judgment and decision-making ability.
…
That night, Yan Liqiang and Liang Yiji stayed in the yard, thinking about what was going on.
From time to time, captured people were sent to the yard they were guarding.
Some of them were sent by the rangers, and others were sent by the soldiers under Huangfu Qianqi.
By the time daybreak came, Pingxi City was calm. The number of prisoners in their yard had increased to dozens. Ye Tiancheng and his followers were captured in one fell swoop. The entire Pingxi City fell completely into the hands of Sun Bingchen. The first batch of notices had been posted...
Two hours after dawn, Sun Bingchen sent someone to tell Yan Liqiang and Liang Yiji that they could take these people to the prison in Pingxi City...
