"This time, Ling Yang will be accompanying us. We'll use the newly formed Fourth Battalion, most of whom are converted bandits, making them more professional. After we're done, the Fourth Battalion will be stationed near Qiongdu and dedicated to suppressing the bandits." Lin Hai said as he wrote down an order on a piece of paper for the Fourth Battalion to go to the suburbs of Qiongdu to suppress the bandits. He then picked up the large seal that Brother Twenty-Six had just carved for him and stamped it on the seal. "This seal is great. Brother Twenty-Six's craftsmanship is excellent. I'll meet him for a drink at noon."

"Where did the bandits in the suburbs of Qiongdu come from? Haven't all the bandits along the way been wiped out? They have been working in the industrial zone for two months." No matter what, Wang Liang is still an honest man.

"Brother, shouldn't the Fourth Battalion wipe out the bandits led by Master Cao? The officials of our Daliang Empire can't die in vain."

Wang Liang felt that he might be too old to keep up with the thinking of these little foxes. After thinking it over, he didn't think there was anything wrong with doing this. Well, Wang Liang wiped his hands on Lin Hai's desk, put the whole bag of melon seeds in his arms, and said, "Okay, I'll go to the prison to talk to him. But, Xiao Linzi, Ling Yang is much smarter than me. Why don't you let him go? What if I can't fool that guy named Cao?"

"Brother, you're the most honest person. You look like a good person, so he'll trust you. As for Ling Yang, if he goes to the street to buy vegetables, he'll be mistaken for a liar. Do you think he's suitable to go?"

Ling Yang: "You are my principal, you taught me everything..."

As Wang Liang walked out, he closed the office door. A voice came from afar: "Hit gently, there is still work to do later..." He is indeed an honest man.

Honestly, the new county magistrate had little confidence in Xichuan's public security, so he brought as many guards as his rank allowed and hired a group of swordsmen, forming a team of over a hundred people. He didn't mind the expense; as long as he could take office in this county said to be rich in iron and crystal, any expense was worth it, even if it meant borrowing from loan sharks.

The new county magistrate's plan was successful. Although his team was attacked by bandits, the casualties were very small. Only two brave swordsmen and himself were beheaded. Although the others were frightened, they picked up his head and ran all the way back to Jinguan City.

The county magistrate's head was delivered to the prefectural government office in the morning.

The letter of apology from Wang Liang, the county magistrate of Qinghe County, arrived at noon.

The document from the Qiongdu County Magistrate accusing the Qinghe militia of conducting large-scale bandit suppression near Qiongdu City and disrupting people's livelihood arrived in the evening.

The next morning, the head of the bandit leader Cao Dadangjia was sent to the prefectural government. After identification, it was confirmed that he was the bandit leader.
