Xiao Yeyang had Xia Jianren kidnapped without saying a word, surprising everyone present.

Xia Jianren was shocked and yelled: "Master Xiao, what do you mean?"

Xiao Yeyang glanced at Xia Jianren indifferently, and then at Defu behind him. Defu immediately handed several letters in his hand to the officials present, asking them to get along and circulate them.

Xia Jianren's expression changed suddenly when he saw the letter. How could the letter he wrote to Mr. Wei be in Xiao Yeyang's hands?

After Fan Tong and others read the letter, they all looked at Xia Jianren strangely.

After Xiao Yeyang saw that everyone had circulated the letter, he spoke: "As for me, you may be more concerned about my identity as the prince of the palace. You may have overlooked one thing. Before coming to Xiliang, I was the commander of the Jinling Guards.

."

"I am the best at collecting intelligence, arresting spies, and doing detailed work." As he said that, he took the letter and threw it in front of Xia Jianren.

"Master Xia, do you know what your behavior is?"

Xia Jianren's heart tightened and he said bravely: "I...I just reported the situation of the Ganzhou Guards to Mr. Wei, and ordered the envoys to lead the various guard posts. I did nothing wrong."

Xiao Yeyang sneered: "Even if the situation of Ganzhou Guards needs to be reported to the Commander-in-Chief, it should be me. What qualifications do you have to overstep it?"

"If you write a letter and tell outsiders about what happened in Ganzhou Wei in detail, I think you seem to be a spy lurking here."

Xia Jianren didn't dare to admit that he was a craftsman, so he quickly said: "I am not a craftsman, Xiao Yeyang, please don't slander others."

Xiao Yeyang's expression was indifferent: "Don't worry, I always pay attention to evidence when doing things. I have written to Mr. Wei and asked him if he asked you to report all the Ganzhou Wei matters to him?"

"If he says yes, then I will send someone to Liangdu. If not, then you are guilty of leaking secrets."

Hearing this, Xia Jianren's face turned pale. It was impossible for Mr. Wei to admit that he was the one who asked him to report the Ganzhou Wei affairs.

What to do?

At this moment, Xia Jianren also understood clearly that Xiao Yeyang was planning to use him to establish his power!

Xiao Yeyang glanced at the officials present: "What the Guard implements is military management. Everything here can be regarded as military information, but Mr. Xia leaked military information to the outside world. If this was during the war, it would be a serious crime of beheading."

."

"Come here, take Xia Jianren down and beat him with fifty military sticks. From today on, Xia Jianren will be removed from his position as a commanding officer."

After saying that, without waiting for Xia Jianren to resist, the two guards quickly carried him out.

When Fan Tong saw it, he moved his lips, as if he wanted to plead.

Xiao Yeyang looked at Fan Tong: "Master Fan, do you have any objection to my treatment?"

Fan Tong looked into Xiao Yeyang's calm eyes and suddenly felt oppressed. He subconsciously shook his head: "There is no such thing as a humble position."

Xiao Yeyang withdrew his gaze and looked at the others: "What about you, do you have any objections?"

Others shook their heads.

Xiao Yeyang's lips curled up, and his expression softened a little: "I know that everyone here has some connections behind you, and you may not be very convinced of me."

"In this way, since everyone is here today, let's make it clear that if you are willing to follow me and continue to stay in Ganzhou Wei, I will not pursue the past matters. If you want to find another job, I will not

Stop it."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the officials present fluctuated.

Xiao Ye Yanghuan took a look at everyone's reactions, took a sip of the tea on the table, waited for a while, and when no one came forward, he directly named a few officials who had contacts with the Commander-in-Chief of the Capital.

"Aren't you going to leave? If you don't leave, you will have to act according to my rules in the future. Anyone who leaks the affairs of the health office at will like Xia Jianren will be dealt with in detail."

The officials who were named felt tense, and the officials who were not named also had serious expressions.

Mr. Xiao dared to name them directly, which shows that he knows their situation well.

This makes it impossible for officials to take any chances.

After a while, one of the officials named could not sit still and stood up: "Mr. Xiao, my father is seriously ill at home. Please allow me to resign and go home to serve my father."

Xiao Yeyang: "That's right."

After starting with someone, soon several named officials resigned from their posts using various excuses.

Xiao Yeyang readily agreed.

After the others left, Xiao Yeyang asked Defu to call in the substitute officials who had been selected long ago: "Okay, now let's talk about the financial issues of Ganzhou Guard."

"The health department's finances mainly rely on taxation. I looked at the recent accounts of the Ganzhou Guard for the past year and found that except for the grain handed over by the military fields, there was almost no other income."

After hearing this, the commander Qianshi spoke: "Master Xiao, Ganzhou Wei is poor, and we really have no other income here."

Xiao Yeyang was noncommittal and just said: "I came to Ganzhou Guard less than a year ago and discovered a coal mine. You have served in Ganzhou Guard for so many years and you haven't discovered anything yet?"

Hearing this, some of the officials present changed their expressions.

Xiao Yeyang: "Coal mines and other minerals can be mined, but taxes must be paid in accordance with the regulations of the court. I don't care about the things that were not reported before, but in the future I will send people to each Hundred Household Office and Thousand Household Office to register and record. I hope you can cooperate.

”

As he spoke, he paused.

"I'm not afraid of everyone's jokes. After I became a Jinling Guard, my favorite thing was to raid other people's homes. I raided many Duke's and Prince's mansions in the capital. I felt very happy when I saw the gold and silver that I found.

."

"More money is a good thing, but the prerequisite is that you can protect it."

"The guards stationed in Ganzhou have no merit but hard work. I don't want to lead people to raid your homes."

"Okay, I won't say any more. My wife has prepared some food. If you don't mind, you can come to my house for lunch later."

After saying that, Xiao Yeyang stood up and left the hall.

As soon as he left, the others breathed a sigh of relief and started talking.

Fan Tong felt a little uneasy, hesitated for a moment, and went to find Xiao Yeyang.

"Master Fan, is there something wrong?"

Xiao Yeyang was not surprised that Fan Tong came to him and looked at him with a smile.

Fan Tong was a straight-tempered man. He looked at Xiao Yeyang and asked directly: "I was also promoted by Mr. Wei, why don't you kick me out?"

Xiao Yeyang: "Will you leak the affairs of Ganzhou Guard to Mr. Wei?"

Fan Tong shook his head: "No!"

Xiao Yeyang smiled: "You still know the rules, you know how to stick to your position, and you can also care about the people. If you do these things, you can continue to serve as the commander and commander."

The Wei family has been operating in Xiliang for several generations. A large number of Xiliang officials have some relationship with the Wei family. If these are all eliminated, Xiliang will stop functioning.

"Okay, continue to be your commander and commander. You are still training well. The training of the military personnel in the guard station cannot be stopped."

Fan Tong looked at Xiao Yeyang and said seriously: "I will train the military households of the guard station well."

Xiao Yeyang nodded. At this time, Dong Yuanxuan came in with the accounts of the coal mine factory. Fan Tong nodded to Dong Yuanxuan and then left.

Because there was indeed a shortage of manpower, Xiao Yeyang reported the situation of Dong Jiancheng and Dong Yuanxuan to the emperor. With the emperor's permission, the father and son are now the eighth-rank governors of the Weisuo.

In the guard square, looking at Xia Jianren who had been beaten with fifty military sticks, all the officials couldn't help but feel afraid of Xiao Yeyang, and restrained all their little thoughts.
