Chapter 161

Registrar He He and the others saw that Jia Hui acted in an orderly and decisive manner, and they realized that he was a formidable person who could not be easily fooled.

They all felt even more awe and fear.

"A brute? If this is called a brute, then are we all idiots?"

Registrar He He and the others cursed inwardly one after another.

Rumors are truly harmful!

Fortunately, they had not dared to contradict him just now, nor had they shown any intention of looking down on Jia Hui!

Only Qiu Liang remained.

At this moment, the crowd looked at him with some schadenfreude!

Just based on how this person had behaved!

He was truly stupid beyond compare!

Feeling the gazes of his colleagues around him, Qiu Liang immediately felt like he was sitting on pins and needles!

His complexion was incredibly gloomy.

He had not expected that this Jia Hui was not at all the brainless brute described in the rumors.

Anyone who believed that was the brainless fool!

Soon.

The roster was delivered.

Merit Officer Hong Li was now respectful and careful, handing the roster to Jia Hui with both hands: "Please review it, Commandant!"

Jia Hui took it and flipped through it.

He looked at it for a while.

His expression remained blank throughout.

This made it impossible for everyone to guess what he was thinking.

Consequently, they became even more anxious, fearful, and respectful!

He looked at it for a while.

Jia Hui handed the roster to Chen Gong, who was standing to the side.

After Chen Gong took it, he began to examine it in detail.

This made many people look at him with renewed respect, not daring to slight him again.

They knew that this must be a trusted confidant whom Jia Hui relied upon.

While Chen Gong was examining it.

Jia Hui's eyes were as sharp as blades and as demonic as a devil!

Everyone who met his gaze lowered their heads in awe.

Even Qiu Liang, at this moment, averted his eyes in fear.

Suddenly, Jia Hui spoke: "Warehouse Officer Kang Yushu."

"Subordinate is here!"

Warehouse Officer Kang Yushu felt a thud in his heart.

He did not know why Jia Hui was calling him.

Then he hurriedly stepped out of the ranks.

Warehouse Officer Kang Yushu was a conventional scholar, with a short beard on his face, looking like a decent person.

However, his eyes darted around, giving people a feeling of craftiness and deceit.

And this person was indeed crafty and deceitful.

But Jia Hui calling him.

Was not for any other reason.

It was because on the way in.

Chen Gong had mentioned this person to Jia Hui: "He is Prince Yu's man!"

Jia Hui believed this implicitly.

In just a few short hours, Chen Gong had gathered so much useful information.

It was truly terrifying.

His ability was incredibly strong.

He was indeed the resourceful Chen Gong!

When Jia Hui and Chen Gong were discussing last night.

About how to act today.

They had already prepared a draft plan.

The main point was determined.

A new official takes three fires.

Strike one faction, kill one faction, and recruit one faction!

In this way, he could quickly take control of the Five Cities Military Commission.

Just now, Jia Hui had made things difficult for Qiu Liang.

·· 0 Seeking flowers 0 ·········

That was striking one faction.

In reality, it did not have to be Qiu Liang; it was just that he happened to court death by delivering himself to the door.

For this type of person, Jia Hui would suppress them severely!

Suppressing those who did not submit to him.

The purpose was to make everyone else fear, obey, and listen to him.

And killing one faction?

That was to further make everyone fear, obey, and listen.

This was one reason.

Another point was that only by "killing them" could he quickly allow his own confidants to take office and take over.

This Warehouse Officer Kang Yushu was merely another unlucky soul.

Many of the people in the prefecture had various backgrounds.

Who to take action against was a problem.

Since this Warehouse Officer Kang Yushu was a man of Prince Yu, Jia Hui's enemy.

Then he was a priority.

"You are the one in charge of the yamen's warehouses, supplies, and other matters, right?"

Jia Hui asked.

"Yes."

Kang Yushu replied.

"When did you take office?"

"I have been in office for five years now."

Kang Yushu continued to answer truthfully.

The two engaged in a question-and-answer session.

Jia Hui was confirming Kang Yushu's tenure.

Why?

If Kang Yushu had taken office now or recently.

Then if something happened in his department at the yamen.

It would be difficult to blame him.

This was the detail!

Upon learning it had been five years, the corners of Jia Hui's mouth immediately curled into an arc.

But he quickly hid it!

"Bring the account books."
