Tang Yin did not show any signs of anger because of the county chief's retort. He pondered for a moment, and spoke seriously: "The position of the Inspector, has existed since the establishment of the Feng Country, it was created by the founding of the country's Sovereign King. But from your own mouth, it has become a meaningless task.
The position of the Inspector was indeed a fake, but no one dared to say it out in front of everyone, and only dared to discuss it in private, afraid that someone would slander the Former King. Hearing this, the county magistrate's face changed. He inwardly cursed and quickly changed his words, "I … Of course I don't doubt Former King's intentions, I just … "I just feel that …" He stuttered as she could not continue.
Tang Yin said slowly: "Since it is established by the Former King, then of course the Inspector has its uses and effects. The reason why I let Master Yu hold the position of Inspector in the three counties was also to better supervise and coordinate the three counties, so as to provide good logistics for the warriors fighting in front.
Under Tang Yin's repeated interrogations, the county magistrate was speechless. He was sweating like crazy, and in the end, he could only ask Yu Tao for help. Yu Tao laughed dryly, he cupped his hands towards Tang Yin and was about to speak, but the latter had already waved his hand to stop him, he did not look at him and continued to ask the county chief: "Then now, do you approve or oppose my arrangements?"
"This... "I …" He had already offended Tang Yin, and if Yu Tao was transferred away, he would definitely not end up well either. However, for a moment, he couldn't find any reason to retort against Tang Yin, and stammered to the point of not being able to speak. After a long silence, he said, "In short, this matter should still be considered over time, and should not be decided rashly."
Tang Yin walked to his table and said: "The battle with the traitor Zhong Tian is already imminent, how long do you think we should discuss this matter?"
"At least... At least the Master Tang's arrangement is convincing! " At this time, the county magistrate was ready to go for broke. He recognized and recognized the fact that by offending Tang Yin, he was protecting Yu Tao's position as County Head.
Tang Yin laughed, he turned and looked around, and asked: "Who is not willing to accept my decision?" Without waiting for the surrounding people to speak, he immediately laughed and said, "I see that among all the adults present, you are the only one who is not convinced! What are you trying to do by interfering with my instructions? Could it be that you are Zhong Tian's trusted aide, and want to disrupt our plans? "
These words were too serious, how could he, a mere county governor, bear them?! He suddenly stood up, glared at Tang Yin, and said furiously: "Master Tang, you better not speak lies …"
"Humph!" Spitting out blood? I think you are someone who is loyal to Zhong Tian, how can I allow you? " Tang Yin was still smiling, but his hand had already grabbed the head of the county magistrate, and fiercely pressed down. With a loud thump, the head of the county magistrate struck the table heavily, and just as he was about to scream and struggle, Tang Yin's other hand suddenly stabbed down with a dagger.
"Pu!"
The dagger struck the county magistrate's left ear. The force of the strike was so strong that it pierced through his ear hole and pierced through the right ear hole. Even the board on the table was punctured by the dagger and fresh blood dripped onto the ground from the tip of the blade. Tang Yin's face was smiling, but that was only a fake smile. The more brilliant his smile, the more vicious he was, which meant that this blade did not hold back anything.
"Huh?" Tang Yin's slash had taken away the county chief's life, causing the surrounding County Head and county heads to all be dumbstruck. After a long while, someone finally cried out in shock, and his body that was sitting on the mat unconsciously moved backwards.
Tang Yin pulled the dagger out from the corpse's head, and then looked around, smiling as he said: "My lords, do not be nervous, this kind of spy, he deserved to die." As he spoke, he wiped the blood on his dagger on the Official Robe.
Amongst everyone present, only Shangguan Yuanji was the calmest. He had seen Tang Yin's wrist a long time ago, so it was not unexpected at all. However, the three county commanders under his command were not familiar with Tang Yin, and did not see how brutal Tang Yin could be when killing people without blinking an eye, even though they were his subordinates, they were still drenched in cold sweat from fear, their gazes drooping low, not daring to look at him directly.
Just then, the guards guarding the door came rushing over. They were all Tang Yin's subordinates, and quickly rushed over to surround Tang Yin, and at the same time, drew out their swords. The guard looked at the surrounding officials, and asked softly: "Master, what happened?"
Tang Yin waved his hands, and said casually: "I only found a spy, and he has already been executed by me. You guys can drag the corpse away!"
"Yes!" "My Lord!" Hearing this, the guards put away their swords one by one, and two soldiers came out, dragging the county magistrate's corpse out of the hall like a dead dog.
After the guards took away the corpses, Tang Yin picked up the wine jug and poured the wine on the blade of the dagger. He then walked back to the roasted sheep in the center and slowly cut the lamb.
"I agree!" This official agrees! " This time, the first person to state his stance was Yu Tao's other three county leaders. Learning from their mistake was right in front of them. The three of them were so scared that they almost wet themselves. Their future was definitely important, but their lives and families were more important.
Hearing that, Tang Yin smiled and nodded, then turned to look at Zhao Hui and the other heads of Guannan County, he asked: "What about the Master Zhao and the various masters?"
Zhao Hui regained his senses, he took a deep breath and bowed slightly, then cupped his hands and said: "Master is wise!"
"Ha ha!" Tang Yin laughed and said: "Since everyone agrees, then this matter is decided. Master Yu will take over from now on as the Inspector of three counties, and his position as the County Head will temporarily be taken over by Master Shangguan. " Saying that, he looked at Shangguan Yuanji, retracted his smile and said meaningfully, "Master Shangguan, it's going to be hard on you again! In the future, you will be in charge of both Tianyuan County and Jinguang County.
Shangguan Yuan let out a bitter laugh. He knew that since Tang Yin had kicked Yu Tao out, he would definitely not be able to escape responsibility. As expected, his boss had once again thrown his Jinguang County at him. He sighed and said nothing more. He cupped his hands and said, "This official obeys."
Zhao Hui turned his eyes and secretly shook his head. Since Tang Yin had kicked Yu Tao away, there was no need to ask. Thinking about that, he bent his body, and cupped his hands towards Tang Yin and said: "Master Tang, Master Yu is in charge of patrolling the three counties, I'm afraid that you are too weak, I want to help you, Master Yu."
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Tang Yin interrupted him and said, "Master Zhao should continue to hold the position of the Guannan County! The position of the Guannan County is important, we need an outstanding and trustworthy elder to take charge of the overall situation. The Master Zhao is the most suitable candidate, so we should just stay in the Guannan County! "
Yu Tao and Zhao Hui were both County Head s who had pledged their allegiance to Tang Yin, but there was a heaven and earth difference in the latter's attitude towards them. Hearing Tang Yin's words, Zhao Hui was excited and touched at the same time. He anxiously stood up and bowed to Tang Yin, and said: "Thank you for your concern, Master.
"Yes!" Tang Yin smiled and nodded, he softly responded and did not say anything else.
After leaving Zhao Hui behind, the three county chiefs from Guannan County heaved a sigh of relief. The solemness and fear on their faces had greatly lessened; since County Head was the direct superior of the county chief, the latter was naturally of the same heart as the former. Since Zhao Hui was fine, they were all relieved.
Yu Tao and the three county leaders had extremely ugly expressions. They couldn't understand why there would be such a huge difference in treatment for officials who had also pledged their allegiance to Tang Yin, but now that Tang Yin was armed, even if they were dissatisfied, they wouldn't dare to reveal it.
Tang Yin then said to Zhao Hui: Master Zhao, Master Shangguan has his own unique way of handling government affairs. In the future, you should seek Master Shangguan's guidance!
Zhao Hui was smart, upon hearing this, he understood what Tang Yin meant. He wanted Shangguan Yuan to be in charge of the management of the three counties. Zhao Hui was a person whose desires weren't strong in the first place, so he didn't care who was in charge of the three counties' government. He quickly replied, "Yes! This official knows! " Saying that, he looked at Shangguan Yuanji, bowed deeply, and said: "I hope that Sir Shangguan can give me some pointers in the future, and help me out!"
Ah!" Lord Zhao is too polite! " Shangguan Yuanji stood up and saluted Zhao Hui.
After a banquet, Tang Yin stripped Yu Tao of his position as the County Head, gave him an insignificant yet powerless job, and raised Shangguan Yuan to the head of the government in the three counties. It was only then that he truly felt that he had control of the three counties.
After the banquet, Tang Yin did not hold back at all towards Yu Tao, since he was not County Head now, he should give away the County Head Manor. He only gave Yu Tao half a day to clean up the place and his belongings, and then he ordered for the Domestic Servant Palace's Domestic Servant s and servants to move Shangguan Yuanji into the County Head Palace.
Tang Yin's swift and decisive actions caught Yu Tao unprepared. When he and his family members were expelled from the County Head Palace by a large number of Tianyuan Army, more than half of the treasures he had collected over the years had not been taken away. They were all taken away by the Tianyuan Army and placed in the treasury.
At this time, Yu Tao felt both hatred and regret; that was to say, hate Tang Yin's wrist, and also regret that he had listened to Zong Yuan's slanderous words back then. However, there was no medicine for regret in this world, so Yu Tao could only continue to eat. After all, this was the reality of this world, and only the strong one had the final say.
After driving Yu Tao away, Tang Yin found Shangguan Yuanji and went straight to the point: "Yuanji, in the future, you will be in charge of the three counties' government affairs. You must help me take care of it!"
