When the land was about the land in Izumo County, the Ming Empire, which was slowly traveling along the way, stopped. At this moment, the people on the city could see clearly that in addition to the captives strung by ropes, there were two flagpoles standing high, with two people tied to the top.

One is Qi Kang and the other is Qin Chao.

The two bandit leaders who once ran out of Yun County like no one, are now hanging on the flagpole, with their heads lowered, and they don’t know whether they are life or death.

A civil servant wearing the fourth-rank Yunyan refurbished uniform of the Ming Empire slowly rode out. Behind him, two black-clothed guards guarded the left and right. The three of them walked to the city. The civil servant looked at the closed city gate, looked up at Xiang Lian above the city, and said sternly: "According to the emperor of the Ming Empire, we will come to receive Izumo County City."

Xiang Lian sighed silently and stared at Qi Kang on the flagpole in the distance. Qin Chao glanced at him. He was a little worried that the two of them would reveal him. He was not worried about his safety. As long as the Ming Empire was not ready to turn against Qi, he would naturally have no safety.

On the surface, both sides will not have any problems, but if the Ming Empire really got the confession of Qi Kang and Qin Chao, in private, this would become evidence of the Ming people. I am afraid that Qi will have to pay a certain price for this matter next. As the host who failed this matter, will he still have good results when he returns to China?

My career in the officialdom may end with this. Being able to be a closed-door apartment in Chang'an or Luoyang will probably be the best outcome for me.

"Mingle, open the city gate, all the officials will follow me out of the city to welcome the Ming officials." He clenched his fists and lowered his head.

The Ming Dynasty Empress Min Ruoxi did not show up publicly, so he naturally would not be stupid enough to admit that she was also in the team.

The rituals and music in the city were not prepared to welcome. In Xiang Lian's idea, Izumo County should have fallen into great chaos because of the death of the Ming Dynasty here. The Ming officials who came here naturally had no intention of caring about rituals and music. But now, the ranks of others appeared outside the city in an orderly manner. If they were not even prepared for rituals and music, they would be able to save face from the Great Qi Kingdom.

The team that was temporarily pulled from the city naturally could not play any high-level rituals and music. When the city gate was wide open and the rituals and music team came out from both sides of the city gate. Although they worked hard but had no level of rituals and music, they even felt a little hot on Xiang Lian himself.

In the distance, Yang Zhi, who was still stained with blood on his armor, snorted coldly and ordered: "Come on, beat the war drum, blow the trumpet, and sing the war song."

The sound of the war drums sounded, and the long horn returned to the Van, which was shocked by the Xianglian. He thought that the Ming army would not give up and wanted to ask for an explanation. If it was really necessary to fight, with the little force of the Izumo County City now, it would be really vulnerable. The high-spirited war song sounded along with the sound of the war drums and the horns, completely suppressing the sound of some scattered rituals and music here.

"Xiang Lian, the governor of the Ichyun County of the Great Qi Empire, will be handed over to you by the order of His Majesty the Great Qi Emperor." Xiang Lian walked out of the city gate and bowed to the Ming official who was still riding on his horse outside the city and was ashamed of being arrogant.

"Secretary Geng Qiancheng." The Ming Dynasty official sat on the horse and bowed casually. Looking at Xiang Lian's eyes full of contempt, "Sir Xiang, let's stop talking nonsense, hurry up and go to the government office to hand over. You are really not a good person to be the governor of Zhiyun County. Look, look." His hand did not point behind, "Bandits are rampant, and they dare to attack the official officers in groups. They are really impatient. But then again, the rampant bandits also show that you are really incompetent. If you want to be an official like you in our Ming Dynasty, you should be imprisoned."

Xiang Lian was so angry that he leaned back, and a mouthful of old blood almost spurted out. Is there any official cultivation and decentness? But when he looked at the two guards around Geng Qiancheng staring at him, he could only suppress his breath and smiled dryly: "Mr. Geng is right. The subordinates are indeed a bit incompetent, so they have to go back to retire. When Mr. Geng takes office, he will naturally return this villain to Zhiyun County. The great rule of Zhiyun County is not far away."

Xiang Lian was originally a sarcastic word, but Geng Qiancheng seemed not to hear it. He raised his head and said proudly: "Mr. Xiang's words are pleasant to listen to. I will give you a good word. When I come here, I will naturally let the people live and work in peace, so that the mountains and rivers of Qiyun County will be clear and the world will be peaceful. Please!" A group of horses ran towards the city, sweeping the tails of the ponytails, and almost swept the official hat on Xiang Lian's head. Xiang Lian's nose was so angry that he shook his sleeves, and he wished he could leave like this.

Xiang Lian, who had been preparing to leave, had naturally had already made a bag of bags and the handover was extremely smooth. Xiang Lian was embarrassed, and sealed a bag of keys on the treasury, and put a box of household registration lists up and put them in the middle of the lobby. With both hands, he took the officials of Qi away. In the room, only the local officials were left, staring at Geng Qiancheng, the new county magistrate in the hall with wide eyes.

Those officials in the Great Qi Dynasty had a place to go, but they had no place to go, and they had to make a living here, so they naturally couldn't be free.

Yesterday, the people of Daqi were still in the Blink of an eye. When the old hen turned into a duck, it turned into a people under the rule of the Ming Empire. Although this change was mentally prepared, when it came, it still made people feel a little caught off guard and a little confused.

With a bang, the auspicious tree slapped heavily on the big case, pulling back the soul of the officials in the hall who flew out of the sky. Everyone looked at the middle of the lobby. Geng Qiancheng, the newly released county magistrate, had already sat upright after the big case, and his face no longer had the smug smile before. His eyes were wide open, and he was looking at them with a solemn face.

"I've met the county magistrate!" Under the leadership of several veteran officials who had seen the world, everyone knelt in the hall and saluted Geng Qiancheng.

Geng Qiancheng nodded slightly, but did not call them up immediately. Instead, he looked at them coldly for a while. The officials kneeling down were all nervous. What kind of character is this new county magistrate? No one is sure whether they can still be retained by the old officials.

"From today, you will no longer be officials of Qi, but officials of the Ming Dynasty." Geng Qiancheng slowly said, looking at the dozens of officials and leaders kneeling in the hall.

Officials, officials. Two different words appeared in the ears of these old fried dough sticks, and they would immediately see different things. They all looked up at Geng Qiancheng in shock.

"You may not be very clear about the official system of my Ming Dynasty." Geng Qiancheng said: "The official will be in charge and manage it according to the official. This is a charter personally formulated by His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire. So remember that you will be an official in the future. As for the specific situation, you will slowly understand it in the future, so I will not say more."

From an official to an official, it is as far away as a fish leaping on a dragon gate. If you have been an official for a lifetime, it may be impossible to cross the threshold of an official. From an official to an official, it is not impossible, but it can only be described as rare.

After changing the master, he was in one step. From officials to officials, the officials and leaders below were all surprised. This was probably the new master's pacification strategy. After all, it was up to them to govern the local area, and it was a custom for thousands of years.

"Long live, long live, long live!" Dozens of officials and leaders kowtowed heavily, and this time they were willing.

"Don't be too happy too early!" Geng Qiancheng beat him up, "Soon, you will learn what you have to bear and what you have to pay after you go from an official to an official. I can't guarantee that you will stay in this official office and work with me in the past period of time."

"A villain will definitely do his best to do his best for the adults." said an old official in his early sixties and wrinkled face.

Geng Qiancheng looked at everyone with a slight smile: "You know what Izumo County was like before, and I know too. Here I am sure that you have an indescribable relationship with bandits, and some people even have a deep entanglement with bandits in the past. Am I right?"

The hall suddenly became silent, and everyone's face turned pale. Just now, Lord Geng had just sent a big candied date, but in a blink of an eye, the knock on the stick also made everyone's eyes look like stars.

The person who is a little famous in Izumo County is not a close relationship with the bandits.

"But that's all the things that happened in the past. To this day, I have broken up with the bandits. I have assumed that the past things have never happened. It was the people of Qi, not from my Ming Dynasty. But you have heard it clearly. Who would dare to do those dirty things in the future? It would be a trivial matter to lose your official position and dismiss his head. It would not be a long time for you." Geng Qiancheng looked at everyone with a sneer: "There will be no more bandits in Izumo County under the rule of the Ming Empire."

Everyone was trembling and dared not speak.

"All get up!" Geng Qiancheng waved his hand and said, "What should I do? I will go back and do whatever I want, and wait for the call at any time. I have been staying in the yamen these days and sending letters to my family. I just say you are fine, so don't worry them."

"Thank you, yes, for your compassion." Everyone got up and bowed to thank.

"It's just human nature." Geng Qiancheng smiled, "Izuyun County wants long-term peace and stability, but I still cannot live without you. As long as I do my best and be dedicated to the public, the Ming Empire will not treat you badly. But whoever wants to think about some dirty things like before will be willing to get rid of the knife of the official."

Seeing the officials coming out one after another, Geng Qiancheng felt a little disgusted. What guys are these! But this time, he still can't live without them. When everything is settled, he finally has to think of some ways to dismiss these guys one by one. (To be continued...)
