Now he has fulfilled that promise.

And in the process of such a crackdown against the gang forces, it was inevitable that some young rogues were implicated.

As a result, those little ruffians who liked to be domineering in their daily lives, also became low-key and timid.

They were afraid that if they were too exuberant, they would be mistaken as members of the Iron Sword Sect by passing experts and dealt with directly.

This, on the one hand, caused many of the local people who had suffered from them to secretly applaud.

By eliminating the Iron Sword Sect, Lu Yuan can be considered to have removed a scourge for the people.

Amidst such chaos and suppression, carriages laden with various treasure and supplies were also marked with the banners of various business associations and were transported to Dongting Prefecture.

Some of the carriages of the business associations even had official documents issued by Lu Yuan’s side, stating that these supplies were for military use, and that local officials were not allowed to obstruct them, making the transportation more convenient.

In just seven or eight days.

Thanks to the efforts of the carriages from the business associations, the spoils of defeating the Iron Sword Sect were transported back to Dongting Prefecture.

By this time, the reports from Luling Prefecture had hurriedly arrived in Yuzhang Prefecture and Xunyang Prefecture, handed over to both the prefectures and the Liuyang Sect.

The prefecture.

When the incumbent Yuzhang prefect Feng Bo received the report, he was listening to a play in his backyard.

Although it is a chaotic time now.

However, there have never been any major robberies in Yuzhang Prefecture. The external military disasters have barely affected this area, so the place has been relatively stable.

As a result, although the imperial court has imposed higher taxes year after year, the local people have become more and more distressed, but overall, it can still be called a peaceful time.

What Feng Bo has to do here is to maintain the stability of the region while providing more and more taxes and grain to the imperial court.

As long as these two points are achieved, it can be considered qualified, or even outstanding.

Yuzhang Prefecture is a large prefecture, with millions of households and a prosperous region.

Therefore, the chief commandants and chief arresters of the various prefectures are mostly first-rate experts. Each prefecture can basically have one first-rate expert stay put.

At the same time, the local county soldiers have sufficient money and grain to maintain full strength.

With all these forces in place, plus the full 10,000 county soldiers on the prefecture side, it is enough to maintain local stability.

As for providing tax revenue and grain, that goes without saying.

Yuzhang Prefecture has always been known as the Land of Fish and Rice.

With the wealth here, even providing the taxes demanded by the imperial court every year does not require the people to be starved, and the supply can be completed.

Thus, it was easy for Feng Bo to complete the two tasks by passing them on to his subordinates, and they would handle it for him.

And as the lord of the prefecture, all he had to do was to take a moment every day to deal with official business, and then he could enjoy his leisure and peace.

But today, this leisure and peace are destined to be broken.

“The Iron Sword Sect is wiped out?”

When Feng Bo heard his aide read the report sent by the local area, he was so surprised that he jumped up from his chair and let out a shriek.

This sudden commotion startled the actors in the play on the stage, who all stopped in their tracks, not knowing what to do.

“Yes, my lord. According to Luling Prefecture, the culprits are ruthless, detailed, and premeditated.”

“Besides being able to eradicate the Iron Sword Sect and kill hundreds of members overnight, they also attacked in various counties of Luling Prefecture, wiping out more than thirty Jianghu gangs in just a few days.”

“The strength of the culprits, and the manpower they mobilized, is by no means ordinary bandits.”

Luling Prefecture initially speculated that there are at least a thousand strong culprits with high martial arts skills, and there may even be as many as six top martial artists among them.

That’s because within the same time frame in Luling Prefecture, there were six different places where traces of top martial artists’ actions were left.

Besides these, Luling Prefecture also found that many of the victims’ corpses had injuries from crossbows. Those culprits, in addition to being highly skilled in martial arts, also had powerful bows and crossbows.

These are all prohibited items.” The aide’s face was somewhat pale, and his voice trembled slightly as he spoke.

After listening to these reports, Feng Bo immediately turned to the actors on stage and shouted, “All of you get out of here!”

The actors also realized that something was wrong and hurriedly bowed before quickly leaving the scene.

When only the two of them were left in the garden, Feng Bo paced back and forth for a while before murmuring, “Six top martial artists, a thousand highly skilled bandits, and a large number of forbidden powerful bows and crossbows…

These bandits… Are they really just bandits?”

In the end, when Feng Bo reached this point, his heart suddenly realized something, and his words stopped abruptly, his expression turning serious.

His aide naturally knew what his master was thinking and trembled, “To be able to mobilize so many people, it takes an innate sect even among the Jianghu sects.

Nowadays, those Inborn Grandmasters in Dayue have basically accepted the imperial court’s recruitment.”

This attack is targeting the Liuyang Sect.

My lord, I’m afraid it’s not the current National Teacher or some general…”

“Silence!”

Before the aide could finish his words, Feng Bo immediately shouted, “The National Teacher and the generals are the pillars of the imperial court. How can they be slandered by your nonsense? It’s one thing now, but if you dare to spread this rumor in the future, I won’t spare you.”

“It was my mistake, my mistake. My lord, please don’t take offense.
