Chapter 83 The dust settles?

The county government fire that had burned all night finally went out because there was no burning thing.

The chaos in Hongdu Prefecture was finally slowly calmed down under the attacks of the official army under the command of the commander-in-chief.

But this does not mean the end.

Although most of the thieves in the Tianyan Sect who participated in the turmoil last night were either killed or captured on the spot, many thieves still became fish that missed the net for various reasons.

Therefore, in order to hunt down these fish that missed the net, and to further calm the unrest, stabilize the situation in the city, and prevent those who are verbally talkative and "produce" many rumors, which put more pressure on the already stressed court. No matter which yamen is, they all agreed with the control proposal put forward by the commander Song Fangyan.

The officials under his command controlled all intersections and prohibited everyone from leaving the market where they lived.

Anyway, it’s only a day’s business. Even if you don’t have rice to cook at home and need to go out to buy rice and noodles, you’ll just be hungry for a day and you can’t die!

In such a nearly rude way, the chaos in the city naturally subsided quickly. The fish that escaped were quickly caught one by one when they were separated by small shallow ponds.

...

However, the chaos below was calmed down, but there was a tendency to become more and more intense above.

The reason is naturally a very simple way to divide the spoils, cough cough, fight for credit, and fight for credit.

No matter what era, wherever there are people, there will be such things as competing for credit.

Especially when such great contributions appear, even those leaders who are arrogant and "unworldly" on weekdays will "subsequent to the mortal world" and compete with their subordinates for credit regardless of their face. If they want some face, they will arrange for a "personal person" to grab credit, and even directly airborne one of their own people.

This kind of thing is common, it is just a difference between being exposed or being suppressed.

The intuitive manifestation reflected in the Hongdu Prefecture City at this time was the struggle between civil and military officials, as well as the competition between the two lower-level yamen, the governor's yamen, the prefecture and the county, for the merits.

Of course, Huang Xiangfu, who has the lowest level, dares to compete for credit with a mere sixth-rank magistrate, rely on two aspects.

On the one hand, he is naturally the Jinyiwei who has always had a cooperative relationship with him, which is also his confidence. After all, as the minion of the emperor, the Jinyiwei can go to heaven to listen. Even if he is just a small sixth-rank magistrate, he can get the name known by the emperor if he is on the line of Jinyiwei.

On the other hand, naturally, the commander Song Fangyan, who rescued him, appeared in time.

Of course, in order to satisfy Song Fangyan's appetite, he did not fail to pay the price.

Give all the main contributions to the rebellion to the commander-in-chief.

Moreover, when the civil servants of the General Secretary made things difficult for Song Fangyan, they had to stand up for the rebuttal and testify for Song Fangyan. He first asked Song Fangyan for help and explained the seriousness and urgent situation, so that Song Fangyan decisively sent troops.

In this regard, Huang Xiangfu is naturally not indispensable.

Besides, except for the "He asked Song Fangyan for help first", everything else is true, and he is not against his will. After all, if there was no other party, he would probably have fallen into the hands of the thieves in the Tianyan Sect, and life and death would be unpredictable.

However, because he was worried that a mere sixth-rank magistrate would not have enough weight, he discussed with Song Fangyan and pulled out his superior, Chen Anwu, the prefect of Hongdu Prefecture.

Even though he and Song Fangyan had to share a lot of contributions to Chen Anwu, Song Fangyan still agreed very happily.

After all, it is no longer Taizu, and Taizong's dynasty. Since the great change of the fourteen years of Zhengtong, the court has long been prosperous in literature and martial arts. Even though it has not fallen to the extreme desolation and despair of the former Song Dynasty, the status of military generals is no longer as good as before.

So even if you need to share a lot of credit, it would be better to bring Chen Anwu into it than to let those shameless people in the shameless governor take all the main credits out of him.

As for Chen Anwu, he seemed to be expelling himself from a group of civil servants and was quite unwise, but he still had his own little plan.

He knew in his heart that if the superiors in the governors really let the officials in the governor take control of all this, then he, the prefect of Hongdu, would not have any benefits at all. In order to highlight their contributions to turning the tide, those unscrupulous and unhappy Shangguans who had always been unhappy with him might even describe the previous unrest even more exaggeratedly.

As the prefect of Hongdu, even if he could share a little contribution, when such a question was presented to the emperor, his image in the emperor's heart would immediately be equated with weakness and incompetence and irresponsibility.

When the emperor labeled this, his career was undoubtedly about to end.

At that time, those civil servants will not care whether you have maintained the entire group of civil servants, and will not give you any compensation.

So, when he heard Huang Xiangfu's "proposal", he just thought for a moment and agreed.

Although this may damage his impression in the minds of other civil servants and will definitely offend the group of superiors in the magistrate, these two things are obviously not worth mentioning compared to his own impression in the emperor's mind.

Moreover, as Huang Xiangfu's direct superior, he vaguely knew some of Huang Xiangfu's secrets.

With the Jinyiwei mixed in it, even if he turned to the superiors of the governors, he might not be able to get a very good result in the end.

Moreover, in addition to the Jinyiwei, he also saw Huang Xiangfu and deliberately brought the Xuanyi captains from the Six Gates whom he took a look.

These characters that grandma doesn't love and uncles don't love on weekdays may become the last straw for the emperor to determine which side is right in his mind.

Of course, fortunately, he didn't know that Zhu Jinxuan, the emperor's elder sister, was in the city, and he was also involved in this matter personally. Otherwise, he would not agree, but would directly criticize the governors and officials.

The disputes above were considered by the officials of the fourth rank upwards, and as for the bottom, it was harmonious.

It is not only because they have experienced the test of blood and fire, life and death together, but also because there is no soil for disputes between them.

The six doors have always been incompatible with other yamen in the court, and the same is true for the division of credit.

Not to mention the great guard led by Hu Xiaolin, who is directly under the emperor, relying on the emperor's appreciation. This contribution is more of a halo. As long as there is, as long as the emperor can know how much they play in it, it is enough.

Jane is always something more enviable than any credit.

As for the two sects of the world.

None of the eight masters sent by the Diancang Sect died, and only two disciples suffered minor injuries because of excitement when they finally chased the fleeing thieves from Tianyan Sect. The Diancang Sect got not only the deep gratitude of Huang Xiangfu, the sixth-rank magistrate, but also the gratitude and awe of all the yamen runners and constables in the entire county government. In the next few years, they should not worry about their disciples or money.

Especially after a night of terror, Huang Xiangfu developed a strong sense of crisis in his heart. When the turmoil subsided and he met He Wu again, he directly asked He Wu that he could hire a master like He Wu to be a personal guard. At the same time, he was only showing signs of letting a distant nephew join the Dian Cang Sect, but this time he directly and clearly mentioned to He Wu that he would select ten children from the clan to send them to the Dian Cang Sect, and requested that the Dian Cang Sect be carefully taught.

When he said this, he did not forget to praise Guan Zheng, who was running with him with all his might in the most critical moment, and hinted at He Wu.

And He Wu was naturally overjoyed.

He even revealed a lot of secrets of the Diancang Sect to Huang Xiangfu, implying that Huang Xiangfu, the most powerful Diancang Sect is actually the formation, which is the one that protected Huang Xiangfu after they first arrived in Hongdu Mansion.

Anyway, Huang Xiangfu is just a literati with no power. Even if he tells the secret book of the Diancang Sect, the other party will not understand it at all. He only needs to let Huang Xiangfu understand the power, and then send more children from the clan to join the Diancang Sect.

Although Huang Xiangfu couldn't understand those things about martial arts, he knew exactly what He Wu wanted to express.

Ten sheep left and right were also driven, and twenty sheep were also released. As a big family that could support Jinshi, the Huang family had some children and nephews of the right age in the clan, so he waved his hand and wrote a letter to Huang Er to send it back to his hometown, telling the clan that soon, He Wu would choose good seedlings suitable for martial arts and let the clan cooperate.

He Wule of the Diancang Sect did not close his mouth all day, while Fang Xun and Zhang Sijin of the Changbai Sword Sect both felt heartbroken and relieved.

The reason for the pain is of course the disciples of the Changbai Sword Sect who were killed and injured.

After a big battle, the most serious casualties were their Changbai Sword Sect. More than 20 disciples in the sect were killed and nearly ten were killed at one time, and three were seriously injured. Even if they were cured, it would probably be difficult to pick up the sword. Almost everyone was injured, and there were almost no one intact.

However, the results of such huge casualties also made Fang Xun, who wrote a letter to send disciples from the Changbai Sword Sect to relieve himself.

The performance of the Changbai Sword Sect in this battle was seen by Peng Zhenlei, the "second-in-chief" of Liushemen, and Hu Xiaolin, the commander of the Great Inner Guard. Both of them admitted that the Changbai Sword Sect, who was born outside the pass, did have a sense of ruthlessness and tenacity when fighting against the enemy, and their martial arts were all excellent, at least better than most of the constables in Liushemen.

Besides, this time, if the Changbai Sword Sect had not cared about the huge casualties and withstood the continuous impact of the Tianyan Sect, they might have really been here.

For the sake of reason, they all have to make good compensation for the Changbai Sword Sect.

Therefore, with the guarantee of Peng Zhenlei's fifth-rank captain who was only under the chief constable Guo Ju, the Changbai Sword Sect not only established a relationship with the Six Gate, but also directly "in one step" and established a relationship with the leader of the Six Gate.

Moreover, Peng Zhenlei also assured Fang Xun and Zhang Sijin that if the Six Gates lack personnel in the future and need to recruit constables from the world, they will definitely give priority to the dozen Changbai Sword Sect disciples who fought with him tonight. Even after sending the information to the chief constable Guo Ju this time, they will mention the contributions of the Changbai Sword Sect to Guo Ju, and then give a position as a constable.

This battle was a trauma. The Changbai Sword Sect, which was killed or injured by more than half of the main force in the sect, had this relationship between the Six Gates, especially if a disciple in the sect joined the Six Gates, he would definitely recover soon after becoming a constable.

Although I am poor outside the pass, I still have no shortage of people.

It can be predicted that if five years are short, ten years will not only be able to make up for the number of disciples who are injured or killed today, but the number of disciples in the Changbai Sword Sect will also have an explosive growth.

After all, outside the pass, the Changbai Sword Sect was the first sect to have disciples who could join the Six Sects.

This alone has an unparalleled attraction for those outside the gate who are poor and eager to get out.

...

That's honey, my arsenic.

If the warring party is satisfied with the result, the other party will inevitably be disappointed with the result.

As for Huang Long, the Lord of the Heavenly Lord who made this huge decision, who had not received any good news in the past period of time, after learning the result, you can imagine how great his disappointment was.

What follows disappointment is anger and boundless anger.

But at this moment, he could only vent his anger like a madman, because this time, in order to attack on both sides, he had already spread all the hands of all those who could be sent out around him.

Five people around him were already offering him a angrily scolding.

But when another news came, the anger in his heart immediately disappeared without a trace like the thin ice of summer, and replaced by endless fear and fear.

The leader of the black-clad man who participated in strangling the Jinyiwei lurking in the city that night disappeared.

And yet no clue has been found.

Now that Hongdu Prefecture is full of government troops, constables, yamen runners patrolling and searching, it is almost equivalent to losing the opportunity to find the other party.

Moreover, with the relationship between the leader of the man in black in the government, he has not received any relevant information yet, so he is likely not dead. Otherwise, the body would have been unable to escape the strict inspections of the government.

"He's still alive!"

Huang Long had no time to care about his anger. He had already felt cold in his heart. At this moment, he knew that he must immediately find the unknown leader of the man in black, otherwise, what would be greeted would be terrible consequences that he could not imagine.

But when no one around him was available, he could only place his hopes on the subordinates who were sent out of the city to ambush the Jinyiwei fleet and be able to come back as soon as possible.

In addition to bringing him good news and giving him enough staff to dispatch, the news that the Jinyiwei fleet was ambushed and then destroyed could also disrupt the current waters of Hongdu Prefecture, allowing him to take advantage of the opportunity to catch fish in troubled waters.
