When Zhu Xie returned to Hongzhou Prefecture, Qi Jin and Li Kui also arrived.

The atmosphere in the main hall of the temporary governor's yamen was quite depressing.

Zong Ze, Li Kui, Liu Zhiyi, Zhou Wentai, Qi Jin, Chen Ju, Zhu Xie and others stood not far away.

After all, Qi Jin broke the silence, stood up, raised his hand and said, "This happened in Nanchang County. The lower officials surrendered to the bandits and humiliated the power of the sages. They were ashamed of the imperial court. The lower officials requested punishment!"

Zong Ze, Li Kui and others looked up at him and then looked at each other.

As the Minister of War, Li Kui has the highest official title here. After thinking about it, he said, "You have done a good job, you are not in trouble in the face of danger, and can bend and stretch. I will report this to the court carefully. I believe that the government will understand your hard work."

Zong Ze, Liu Zhiyi and others did not speak out, but agreed with Li Kui's words.

If Qi Ji had responded strongly at that time and fought, he would probably not be able to fight. At that time, Nanchang County might have fallen, and the consequences would be even more serious!

Qi Chi stood still and didn't move. He knew in his heart that there would not be many people who could understand him. Perhaps there would not be much impact in a short period of time, and it would inevitably cause unimaginable obstacles to his career in the future.

After a while of silence, Zong Ze looked at Li Kui and said, "What Mr. Li means is to block the entire Jiangnan West Road?"

Li Kui glanced at the people present and said, "This matter is of great importance. If such a bandit escapes from Jiangnan West Road and continues to grow with the money given by Nanchang County, will the consequences be imagined?"

Zong Ze frowned slowly.

Li Kui's words are indescribable, but they make sense.

In the entire Song Dynasty, there were the most civil unrest in the three roads near Jingdong Road, Taihu area, and Jiangnan West Road. Although there were not many cases of plundering Xiazhou and counties, it happened from time to time.

If such a bandit leaves Jiangnan West Road and robs the house everywhere, then their crimes will not be freed.

Liu Zhiyi and Zhou Wentai sat upright and listened carefully to the conversation between the two big names.

Zong Ze had the greatest real power in Jiangnan West Road, not only in charge of administration, but also in the army. Whether it was the Governor's Office or the Huwei Army that was changing, they were under his control, with a total force of nearly 50,000 people, and they were fully capable of blocking Jiangnan West Road!

But blocking the road is not a simple matter. Zong Ze did not have such power, nor did Li Kui, and even the Song Dynasty court could not make a decision without authorization.

Zhao Xu must nod!

Zong Ze slowly relaxed his eyebrows and looked at Li Kui and said, "Mr. Li thinks it is necessary? Just bandits, I will definitely clean it up in half a month!"

Zong Ze has this confidence and more ability!

Li Kui picked up the teacup and drank tea.

Zong Ze let go of his eyebrows and frowned again, saying, "The movement is too big, and the subordinates may not be worth the loss, and it will be even more difficult for the court and the officials to do it."

Li Kui still didn't say anything and slowly put down the teacup.

Liu Zhiyi and Zhou Wentai looked at each other quietly and understood.

Qi Jin also understood and bowed quietly.

Zhu Xie and Chen Feng were a little lower at the bottom. Seeing that the two big men did not speak, their expressions remained unmoved, they felt strange.

Zong Ze waved his hand to them, and when they both retreated, he couldn't help but say, "Is it the grandmaster's intention? Have you planned it long ago?"

Liu Zhiyi, Zhou Wentai, and Qi Jin all looked at Li Kui, and their hearts were shocked and unrecognizable.

Li Kui said: "It seems that if you don't say it thoroughly, Governor Zong will not take action. The court has many records on Jiangnan West Road, among which blocking the entire territory and promoting power reforms is an important one. For this reason, there was a big debate in the Political Affairs Hall, and in the end, the Grand Duke made the final decision."

Zong Ze looked motionless and nodded, "The Lord knows."

Zhou Wentai looked at Zong Ze's expression and sighed softly.

Although he was not Zhao Xu's close minister, he was not far away. He knew very clearly that Zhang Dun had great courage, but he could not do such a thing and had no right to make a decision.

There is only one person in Da Song who can have such great courage and make the decision.

Obviously, Zong Ze knew it too, so he agreed.

Seeing Zong Ze nodding, Li Kui stood up and said in a deep voice: "I will mobilize the troops from Nandaying and order all the surrounding groups to completely block Jiangnan West Road. When the Thirteenth Highness arrives, he will set up a big net to completely eliminate the bandits on Jiangnan West Road!"

Zhou Wentai and Liu Zhiyi were still shocked. Blocking the whole way would shock the world and the government!

But this is the case that could not have happened in the past, so it was a "sloppy" decision.

Zong Ze simply talked with Li Kui for a few words, and after confirming the details, the two left Hongzhou Prefecture and headed straight to Nandaying.

Thirty thousand tiger fear troops were mobilized and rushed to various places. All prefectures, prefectures and counties were not allowed to enter and exit, and the two waterways were completely cut off.

The army needs support, including the Governor's Office, the Inspection Department, soldiers, officers, etc., who were transferred immediately.

The powerful administrative machine was mobilized. The officials who used to be lazy and evaded were now starting to move. At least on the surface, they were implementing the order of the governor's yamen to lock down the city, and the gates and roads of various prefectures, prefectures, counties and counties were blocked.

The heads of various prefectures and counties were called to meet together to reiterate the seriousness of the "Bandits and Bandits City" as a serious crime of treason.

Under such a serious crime, no one dares to stay out of the matter and remain indifferent.

The blockade of Jiangnan West Road is so unimaginable that it is completed in just three days and no entry or exit is allowed.

On the day of the blockade, a group of people entered Hongzhou Prefecture, but were not in the prefecture city, but Nanchang County.

Zong Ze, Li Kui, Zhou Wentai, Liu Zhiyi and others rushed to greet him, and did not dare to neglect them at all.

Nanchang County Government.

The twelve-year-old Zhao Si sat high and looked calm. Tong Guan stood beside him, respectfully.

"The Xiaguan and others have met His Highness the Thirteenth Highness."

Zong Ze, Li Kui, Zhou Wentai and others saluted.

Zhao Si trained in the Martial Arts Academy for a while. Although she was still very young, her expression was quite firm. She swept over a group of people and said, "You are all good people. You are good officials of my Song Dynasty. They have not disappointed the trust and expectations of the court and the officials."

Everyone did not expect that the young Thirteenth Highness could say such words, and they didn't know what to say for a moment.

This little prince's words were to be accused, and they really couldn't find any reason to defend themselves.

Zhao Si looked around again and said, "From now on, I will take over all military affairs of Jiangnan West Road, Tong Guan and Li Kui will help. I will not have time to waste time with you here. Within three months, I will eliminate all the bandits on Jiangnan West Road, and then turn to the entire Jiangnan!"

"Secretary/The villain takes the order!"

Li Kui raised his hand and Tong Guan turned sideways.

Zhao Si stood up and said with a solemn expression: "Get up immediately, as the imperial envoy, I will officially suppress the bandits. I dare to collude with the bandits, inform the bandits, and even openly kill the officials. All the officials will be rectified on the spot and killed them without any scruples!"
Chapter completed!
