Yan Liqiang knew that after he showed his strength and killed the 1,000 cavalrymen from the Transfer Office, it was only a matter of time before Jiang Tianhua surrendered, because there was no such thing as reason in this world, and there were no gods or saviors who could truly uphold so-called justice. Whoever had the bigger fist and the sharpest knife would have a louder voice, and what they said would make sense. Naturally, the court of the Han Empire had the biggest fist and the sharpest knife, so the court was the most powerful and authoritative.
Under the imperial court, there are different government offices of all sizes. When encountering something like this time, what matters in the end is still fists and knives. The one thousand cavalrymen sent by Jiang Tianhua are his fists and his knives. Jiang Tianhua originally wanted to chop the Manufacturing Bureau and Yan Liqiang with that knife. If the one thousand cavalrymen really came to Pingxi County and the Manufacturing Bureau, the current Manufacturing Bureau and Liuhe Town might have been a different scene. By that time, the unlucky one would be Yan Liqiang. Others would either watch the fun, or even if they could help, it would probably be an exchange of interests and conditions. If it really came to that, who would come to uphold justice
No, because for everyone, accepting reality costs less and brings more benefits than seeking justice.
Jiang Tianhua swung his knife over and found that the knife on this side was sharper and more frightening. Sparks flew when they touched each other and the knife broke and bent. Realizing that he had encountered a tough opponent this time, Jiang Tianhua naturally woke up quickly.
Yan Liqiang originally thought that Jiang Tianhua would at least hold on until after October before he would give in, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.
After hearing what Wang Jianbei said, Yan Liqiang let out a long breath. On the surface, his expression remained the same, but in fact, he felt a sense of pride and relief in his heart.
When people fight for a breath of air, what they are fighting for is this breath of air. Only with this breath of air can people be considered alive.
"Did Jiang Tianhua ask the county magistrate to negotiate peace?" Yan Liqiang asked Wang Jianbei.
"It wasn't Jiang Tianhua, but someone from the Lanzhou Zhong family who found the governor. The governor sent me a letter asking me to discuss it with you..."
"The Zhong family of Lanzhou?" Yan Liqiang blinked. "The Zhong family of Datong Bank?"
"Of course, there is no other Zhong family in the entire northwest?"
"Why did the Zhong family find the governor?"
"The Zhong family has many businesses, and Datong Bank is the number one bank in the northwest, so naturally they have to deal with the government and various forces. The military pay and tax silver in Ganzhou also rely on Datong Bank for circulation, and now the governor is preparing to cooperate with the Zhong family, hoping to use the Zhong family's strength to fully open up the sales of snow salt produced by Yuntao County Salt Field in the northwest. That's why Jiang Tianhua found the Zhong family and asked them to find the governor to mediate!" Wang Jianbei paused for a moment, letting Yan Liqiang digest the information in his words, and then continued, "And this matter is a big deal. If it drags on for a long time, it may not be a good thing. I heard that the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Justice of the court may send agents to the northwest to investigate this matter, so it won't hurt to end it early. I guess no one will dare to attack the Manufacturing Bureau again in the future!"
"Let me ask, what is the relationship between Zhong Xiankui and the Northwest Zhong family?" Yan Liqiang asked with narrowed eyes.
"Although Zhong Xiankui's last name is Zhong, he is not from the Northwest Zhong family and has no relationship with them!"
"Since Zhong Xiankui is not from the Zhong family, that's good, that's good!"
Wang Jianbei glanced at Yan Liqiang and felt that Yan Liqiang's tone was a little strange. "Then is Zhong Xiankui still in the Manufacturing Bureau?"
Yan Liqiang chuckled, "Zhong Xiankui has met his death, and that Shi Zhiyu is also dead. The only ones who are now imprisoned in the Manufacturing Bureau are a few minions from the Transportation Office whose legs were broken. Since the Governor and the County Magistrate have come forward, I can't make things difficult for you. I will have them released when I go back, and the County Magistrate will have someone go to the Manufacturing Bureau to pick them up in two days!"
"Ah, dead!" Wang Jianbei was shocked and took a breath of cold air, "You gave them..."
"Of course, if someone pretends to be from the Transportation Office and goes to the Manufacturing Bureau to cause trouble, do you think I will keep them around to support them in their old age? The leader will naturally be killed!"
Wang Jianbei was completely speechless. After a long while, he muttered to himself, "Is this a bit troublesome?"
"What's the problem? If Jiang Tianhua has any other tricks, let him try them out. I will take over..."
"It's not Jiang Tianhua, but the identity of that Shi Zhiyu is a little special!"
"Oh, what's so special about the identity of that Stone Ray?"
"That Shi Zhiyu and Qu Mingcheng, the chief inspector of the Northwest Transportation Office, both came from Yunzhou Feitian Sect. Feitian Sect is the first sect in Yunzhou and has a huge influence in Yunzhou. It is not unknown among the sects in the Han Empire. Although it is not as powerful as the four major sects, it is also one of the best sects in the northwest. There are many masters in Feitian Sect. Qu Mingcheng is the proud disciple of Guo Yifei, the current master of Feitian Sect, and Shi Zhiyu is Qu Mingcheng's nephew. Both of them have successively joined Jiang Tianhua and worked for Jiang Tianhua. This time Qu Mingcheng was killed, and Feitian Sect was shocked. Guo Yifei has sent several disciples to Yinzhou to inquire about Qu Mingcheng. Let's not talk about Qu Mingcheng for now. If the people of Feitian Sect knew that you killed Shi Zhiyu, I'm afraid they will not let it go..."
Yan Liqiang frowned slightly, "How is the cultivation level of Guo Yifei, the leader of Feitian Sect?"
"I heard that he had advanced to the martial demon realm ten years ago, and now his cultivation is even higher. No one has seen him take action for a long time. Among the disciples of Feitian Sect, there are rumors that Guo Yifei has advanced to the martial sect!"
"Thank you, Lord County Magistrate, for telling me this news. Judging from the personalities of Shi Zhiyu and Qu Mingcheng, that Guo Yifei is probably not a good guy either. Some people can be offended at will, and it doesn't matter. When the enemy comes, the general will fight back. When the water comes, the earth will cover it. I don't believe that the Feitian Sect can really turn the world upside down. It can't be that just because they have a backer, they can let people chop off their heads. Feitian Sect can use whatever means they want. Even if Guo Yifei advances to the Martial Sect, it doesn't matter if I can't beat Guo Yifei, but there will always be someone who can beat him!" Yan Liqiang smiled coldly. He even dared to offend the Prime Minister Lin Qingtian, who was extremely powerful and might have the potential to advance to the world's number one master. Naturally, he was not afraid of the so-called Feitian Sect. The reason why humans are smarter than animals is that humans can use tools to complement each other's strengths and overcome their weaknesses.
"Feitian Sect cannot blame you for Qu Mingcheng's incident for now. I will discuss with the governor to see if we can get the Zhong family to help resolve the matter of Shi Zhiyu. After all, Shi Zhiyu's death was not a vendetta, but a job-related one. In such matters, the sect can intervene or not, it's all in between!"
"Yes, that's true!"
"Your Liuhe Town is now building a fortress wall, which is already quite large. Your Yan family has recruited many servants, so you also need a name, otherwise people will gossip about you!" Wang Jianbei pondered for a moment, "Since your father is the head of the Liuhe Town, your family's servants will be organized into the Qinghe County militia, and your father will also serve as the Qinghe County militia commander!"
Sensing Wang Jianbei's thoughts and knowing that the county magistrate also had good intentions, Yan Liqiang also bowed to Wang Jianbei and said, "Thank you, county magistrate!"
Of course, Yan Dechang couldn't be the Tuan Lian Shi of Qinghe County. This Tuan Lian Shi Yan Dechang was just a title. The real leader was still Yan Liqiang. However, Yan Liqiang was now the Governor of Qiyun County. Wang Jianbei couldn't give the Governor of Qiyun County the title of Tuan Lian Shi. Wouldn't that be a joke
"I have one more thing I want to ask you, Li Qiang!"
"Speak, sir!"
"The Shatu people in Pingxi County are indeed a concern for me. I wonder if Li Qiang has any way to solve this hidden danger?"
"Of course there is a way, I'm just afraid that you can't make up your mind!"
"any solution?"
"Fight poison with poison!" Yan Liqiang said these four words calmly!
