Du Qi smiled and said, "You're very smart. There's indeed a condition."
Wang Li asked, "What condition?"
Du Qi said, "Kill Wang Xuandu, and then personally exile Wang Xuandu's family. This is the arrangement I've made for you. Are you willing to do it? "
Wang Li raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and his expression was slightly shocked.
However, he was also very astonished.
Wang Li didn't expect Du Qi's arrangement to be like this. Because Du Qi's arrangement was really unexpected. Wang Li had always been cautious, so he was worried that Du Qi had ulterior motives.
However, he didn't expect Du Qi to ask him to kill someone.
And it was to kill Wang Xuandu.
Wang Li was not a fool. He thought for a moment and understood in the blink of an eye.
Du Qi wanted him to kill Wang Xuandu, which completely made him and Wang Xuandu's strength oppose each other. Especially exiling Wang Xuandu's family, it would make everyone think that Wang Li had betrayed Wang Xuandu and submitted to Du Qi.
In addition, Wang Li himself had no strength and was just an ordinary county minister. If Wang Li relied solely on himself, it would be impossible for him to stabilize Jingyang County unless he submitted to Du Qi and worked for Du Qi.
This was the most fundamental.
This was also Du Qi's plan.
However, Wang Li also understood that such a scheme was a political ploy.
Du Qi saw that Wang Li was weighing and thinking, but he wasn't in a hurry. He said indifferently, "Wang Li, what's your decision? If you're not willing, I'll let someone else take the position. I believe that there will be someone willing. After all, the position of county governor is a godsend for many people. "
Wang Li gritted his teeth and said, "I'm willing. I'm willing to kill Wang Xuandu. If I don't take it, I'll be punished. Since Lord Du has given me a chance, I'll naturally seize it. When I take over the entire Jingyang County, I'll definitely do my best and live up to Lord Du's expectations. "
"Men!"
Du Qi ordered.
A soldier entered and saluted, "Sir."
Du Qi instructed, "Go and bring Emperor Xuandu over."
"Yes!"
The soldier went down to pass on the order, and not long after, Wang Xuandu was brought up.
With a plop, Wang Xuandu directly knelt on the ground and kowtowed. "Sinner Wang Xuandu pays his respects to Lord Du."
At this moment, Wang Xuandu was still feeling uneasy.
Because from the beginning to the end, Du Qi had some opinions about his attitude.
He even felt like he wanted to kill him. Therefore, Wang Xuandu directly knelt on the ground again. He had to protect his own life first before considering the opportunity to leave.
Du Qi smiled, "Wang Li, it's your turn."
Wang Li took a sharp sword from the soldier's hand and stabbed it out fiercely.
Puchi!
The sharp blade pierced into Wang Xuandu's body.
The expression on his face was one of astonishment.
What's going on?
Wang Xuandu stammered, "Wang Li, you, you …"
Wang Li said, "Lord Prefectural Governor, all that I did was to protect myself. Please forgive me. Everything I'm doing now is for the sake of surviving. "
Puchi!
The long sword was pulled out, and blood splattered.
Dark red blood flowed out from Wang Xuandu's body. He clutched the wound tightly, and there was a look of unwillingness on his painful face. He said, "I, I can't accept this. I don't want to die. I still have …"
Before he finished speaking, Wang Xuandu had already fallen to the ground with a plop.
He was already dead.
Wang Li threw away the sword in his hand and said, "Sir, I've already completed the mission. It involves Wang Xuandu's family, so I'll have to wait until I return to Jingyang County to make arrangements. "
Du Qi nodded and said, "Let's go. Come with me to meet the civil and military officials of Jingyang County that you brought."
"Yes!"
Wang Li immediately replied.
Du Qi brought Wang Li out of the military tent and came to the front of all the civil and military officials who were detained. Right now, all of the officials in Jingyang County were present.
Du Qi looked at all the officials and said in a deep voice, "All of you are officials of Jingyang County. I don't know how capable you are, but I'll let bygones be bygones. In the future, Jingyang County will need all of you. But from now on, Jingyang County will only depend on your ability. "
"So, everything will depend on your ability."
"As long as you work hard, everything will be fine."
Du Qi said indifferently, "Besides, Wang Xuandu tried to assassinate me, but he was killed by Wang Li. The position of Jingyang County's County Governor is now held by Wang Li. "
Whoosh!
Many people's expressions changed.
Wang Xuandu was dead.
One had to know that some of these people were even promoted by Emperor Xuan. Now that Wang Li killed Wang Xuandu, some of Wang Xuandu's subordinates were scheming in their hearts.
Some of them even hated Wang Li.
Wang Li also saw this scene. He knew that since he killed Wang Xuandu, he would face this situation, so he was not in a hurry. After all, he was the County Governor.
So when Wang Li came to power, he would kill Wang Xuandu's subordinates.
Du Qi listened to the discussion of the crowd, and a smile flashed across the corner of his mouth. Then, he said, "Silence!"
No one said a word.
Everyone's gaze turned to Du Qi again, their expressions somewhat grave.
Because they were afraid of Du Qi.
Wang Xuandu was dead, and they were also afraid of death.
Du Qi's eyes were sharp, and he continued, "Wang Li, among these people, who should be killed, and who should not be killed. Now, you'll point them out and kill them one by one. Now that you've solved the problem, you won't encounter any trouble. "
"Yes!"
Wang Li nodded and answered.
He had already killed Wang Xuandu, so there was nothing to hesitate about. Since he had already taken this step, he could no longer be indecisive. In particular, Wang Li had been working in the county government and was familiar with everything in the county government. He knew very well who was Wang Xuandu's subordinate.
Wang Li stepped forward and pointed out Wang Xuandu's subordinates one by one.
In a short time, he pointed out everyone.
One by one, they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. None of them wanted to die. They all begged loudly, saying that they no longer served Wang Xuandu and were willing to do anything for Wang Li.
Wang Li listened to everyone begging for mercy, but he was extremely calm and did not panic in the slightest.
In fact, he was not soft-hearted at all.
If he was soft-hearted to these people today, he would be cruel to himself in the future.
He must not be soft-hearted.
If he did not remove the roots, there would be endless trouble in the future.
Wang Li ordered, "Kill all the people you pointed out. Don't leave a single one alive."
The soldiers stepped forward and waved their swords to kill.
Screams sounded one after another, and Wang Xuandu's subordinates were all killed.
Not a single one was left alive.
Everyone was slaughtered, and some of the people who were left were very happy. Because some of them were Wang Li's trusted subordinates. Some of the others were nervous, and they were all frightened by this scene.
It was too scary.
Corpses fell in front of them, and blood flowed, dyeing the ground red. The smell of blood filled the air, and it was nauseating and made one's heart tremble.
Wang Li turned to look at Du Qi and said, "Sir, everything that needs to be dealt with has been dealt with. The remaining people are not Wang Xuandu's trusted subordinates, so they can stay. "
Du Qi said, "Wang Xuandu is dead, and you are the county governor. Your position as county governor is vacant, and you can choose a suitable person to fill it. In addition, since so many people have died, promote and fill up all the vacancies. "
"Yes!"
Wang Li immediately replied.
At this moment, Wang Li had a smile on his face.
He looked at the officials of Jingyang County one by one. Now, these people had changed from fear to excitement. The reason was very simple, and it was because of benefits.
The vacant positions were to be chosen from among them.
This was an excellent opportunity.
Du Qi said, "Now, leave with all the officials and quickly return to Jingyang County to stabilize the situation. A portion of the army under my command will also be stationed in Tishan District of Jingyang County. When the time comes, just find someone to cooperate with you if you need to send troops. "
"Yes!"
Wang Li replied directly.
At this moment, Wang Li felt more at ease.
With Du Qi's words, everything was extremely stable, and he did not have to worry about other problems.
Du Qi said, "Have a good rest, then prepare to set off."
"Yes!"
Wang Li replied again.
Du Qi did not stay any longer and turned to leave.
Wang Li and the others all heaved a sigh of relief. At this moment, one by one, they came forward to greet the county governor instead of the county governor.
