Bai Song knew in his heart that it was not that simple to calm the hearts of the people of one party. The most important thing was the subsequent comfort and the gradual commitment he made to himself.
I need someone I can trust in Jingzhou, so I can't leave everything to Hou Yuelin. After all, he is Hou Junji's son, and he is not the same person as him. After much thought, I still want to support Su You.
Although this guy is not a good person, there are no extra people in Jingzhou City. At least he saves him once. He should be grateful and not have any other thoughts.
The next plan had been sketched in Bai Song's mind, so he got up and devoted himself to official matters again.
But after going out, she found Ouyang Yanran waiting outside. Looking at Bai Song, her eyes became very complicated, and she seemed to have a bit of resentment.
"We may stay in Jingzhou for two more days. Just rest in this garden and don't wander around. The city of Jingzhou is still very chaotic now. Don't cause any trouble."
After saying this, Bai Song took Jiumei away.
Watching the two people leave, Ouyang Yanran stamped her feet angrily from behind, but she was helpless.
Jingzhou City has gone through a day of cultivation, like a person recovering from a serious illness. Although he looks very tired, there are finally signs of improvement.
Now all the food in Jingzhou City is controlled by Hou Yuelin's people, and Su You has been imprisoned.
The first thing Bai Song did was to arrive at the prison and ask the guarding soldiers to release Su You first.
The soldier was a little embarrassed: "Sir Bai, General Hou said that this person is a repeat offender and must be carefully guarded. We dare not let him go without General Hou's order."
"So, my words are not as effective as General Hou, right?"
"That's not what I mean. Sir Bai, please wait a moment while I go ask the general to come over."
Bai Song did not embarrass a soldier. When Hou Yuelin arrived outside the prison, he shouted to Bai Song from a distance: "Master Bai, I heard that you are going to let Su You go? I thought someone was talking nonsense. This dog officer is trying to control Jingzhou."
It’s not an exaggeration to implicate the nine tribes in such a situation, so why should we let him go?”
"Jingzhou City is in dire straits and needs to be revitalized. There must be someone who is familiar with Jingzhou City to take charge of the matter. Although Su You is guilty, he has been operating in Jingzhou for many years and he knows Jingzhou better than anyone else. Now that Jingzhou is gradually becoming stable, we want long-term peace and stability.
, we have to ask Su You to host it."
Hearing this, Hou Yuelin frowned. Now that he was in charge of various affairs in Jingzhou, Bai Song let Su You out, wasn't he trying to seize power from himself? This sounded very unpleasant.
Hou Yuelin frowned: "Isn't this appropriate? Considering Su You's crimes, letting him continue to be in charge of Jingzhou would be hard to convince the public..."
"The most important thing now is to stabilize Jingzhou. Without a familiar person to control it, I'm afraid..."
Before Bai Song could finish his words, he was interrupted by Hou Yuelin: "Sir, why is Jingzhou so unstable now under the control of the young general? You have been asleep this day and do not understand the situation in the city. Everything in Jingzhou City is now in order.
"
"Really?" Bai Song's mood immediately darkened, "I wonder what the general did in the city during this day? Is there anything worthy of commendation? I was about to write a memorial and return to Chang'an first. Since the general is so meritorious
, must not fall."
Although Hou Yuelin didn't like Bai Song, he also knew that Bai Song had a high position and he had to be polite even to his own father, so naturally he would not antagonize others.
So Hou Yuelin said with a smile: "Of course Master Bai deserves the most credit for what happened in Jingzhou. Young generals don't dare to be greedy for credit. But Master Bai is only one person after all. How can one person manage such a large place like Jingzhou City? He has to pay for it.
Only by giving it to the military can we achieve stability."
"How can the military stay in the city for a long time when it has its own military affairs? What if there is turmoil in the place where the general is supposed to be stationed, but there is no general to take charge of the overall situation, and something goes wrong? So Jingzhou must be handed over to the people of Jingzhou
Manage yourself.”
After saying that, Bai Song pointed to the inside of the cell: "Don't wait, let the person go quickly."
This is not a discussion, Bai Song is giving an order.
Bai Song was so rude, and Hou Yuelin's deputy general was a little displeased. He stared at Hou Yuelin with wide eyes, as if he was waiting for a tough order.
Hou Yuelin hesitated for a moment, frowned, pointed inside, and said, "Let him go."
When Xiao Bing heard this, he went in to release the man. Bai Song ignored him and followed Xiao Bing into the cell.
Seeing Bai Song leave, Hou Yuelin's deputy general said angrily: "How dare these civil servants talk to the general like this! In our eyes, official positions are not important. We finally took control of Jingzhou City. Even if we want to delegate power, we will wait for the old general to arrange one for us."
If someone comes to take over the position of Jingzhou magistrate, it will be his turn to have the final say."
Hou Yuelin waved his hand: "You in the army don't know what happened in Chang'an. Although the rumors are all false, this Master Bai is not as weak as he seems. Even if his father is standing here, I'm afraid he won't be offended.
Already."
"A young master whose son is a prince and whose husband is as noble as his son can actually be on an equal footing with an old general?"
"When dealing with such a person, we can't be quarrelsome. Since he insists on letting him go, we will let him go. When he can no longer control Jingzhou City, we will come out to take over his position. Then he will have no reason to refuse.
"
"The general means..."
"He first asked Su You to continue to be the prefect, so let him be the governor. As long as we create some trouble, he will naturally come to beg us."
The lieutenant general gave a thumbs up: "It's still the general's opinion."
At this moment, Bai Song had arrived in the cell and saw the unkempt Su You and even his family members.
The family was still sleeping, so Xiao Bing opened the door and shouted: "Su You, get up quickly!"
Hearing the sound, Su You opened his eyes drowsily and muttered: "Why...why are you going to be beheaded so soon?"
"You are lucky, and Master Bai will protect you. You can take your family and leave."
"What?" Su You woke up and stood up to see Bai Song standing outside.
"Master Bai, is this true?"
Bai Song nodded: "As long as I protect you, nothing will happen to you and your family."
Su You was so excited that he burst into tears and quickly pulled all the family members together: "Hurry, hurry up! Get up, Mr. Bai is here to rescue us. Hurry up and kowtow to Mr. Bai to thank you."
Su You's family kowtowed to Bai Song in a daze.
Bai Song didn't care about these beckons and asked them to stop: "Okay, okay, let's stop talking about these superficial things. Su You, when you go out this time, have you thought about whether you want to be an official well? Do you want to serve the people of Jingzhou well?
Seeking fortune?”
"Don't worry, sir. As long as Su You is still alive, he will do his best to govern Jingzhou City in this life... Wait, sir, what you are saying is, I... can I continue to be the prefect of Jingzhou?"
