Chapter 520: The Coffin

At this time, Lu Weixin had already carried the coffin up, and Nanmu's coffin was covered with eighty-eight coats of lacquer, which was really shiny. It's just that in the moonlight and the stars, there is such a coffin lifted forward at first glance, which is really a bit infiltrating.

Guo Wenying walked over, knocked her hand on the Nanmu coffin a few times, and the sound of a bang spread all over the courtyard. Her cold gaze swept towards everyone, and everyone she saw felt cold, as if they had been cut by a knife.

She said coldly: "You have all seen it, this is a coffin, a good coffin." When the official came to the southeast, he carried the coffin. But if you think that this coffin is for the official, it is wrong, it may be the official here, or it may be any of you. The emperor's decree allowed the official to command all military and political affairs in Fujian and Zhejiang, that is, to give the official great power, and to kill decisively, everything depends on the official. If you want any of your heads, you can just push them out and cut them off without playing. If you don't believe it, you can give it a try and see if the official dares to do it?"

"At the beginning, I killed more than 20 officials in the southeast in one go, and many of them were second- and third-class. The reason why this official brought this coffin out is to make it clear to you, let's talk about the ugly things in front, and in the future, all the orders of this official in Fujian and Zhejiang dare to have a venerable person, I don't mind telling you to lie down in this coffin. There are also those who dare to bend the law for bribes, oppress the people, neglect their duties, and indulge in pleasures, and once it is verified, they will be severely punished. Do you hear me?"

As soon as the words fell, the whole court was in an uproar, and most of these officials were sitting on one side, and they usually acted as powerful and powerful, so how could they have been threatened like this? Even Jiang Minren, the governor of Zhejiang, and Tang Hui, the governor of Fujian, could not help but feel palpitations. However, they also understood in their hearts that Guo Wenying was not talking big, and it would never be simple for a woman to sit in this position. What's more, the relationship between her and the emperor, many people know it, with the emperor's partiality towards her, if she moves them, nothing will happen, and if Guo Wenying loses half of her hair, it will be absolutely a disaster for them.

Those who were still unconvinced by being controlled by a woman before, but now they have become honest, and where do they dare to have half a disrespectful mind. are all restrained, secretly thinking that in the future, they will be a man with their tails between their legs, and whoever wants to fight this woman will be unlucky.

What a woman, she's a ruffian. It is said that the emperor is a little ruffian, and his women are also like this.

The officials were full of slander in their hearts, but they bowed their heads one by one, and they didn't dare to say a word.

This meal was simply the worst in history, not to mention the unpalatable, and I was scared into a cold sweat. One by one, I couldn't sit still, couldn't swallow, and almost held my stomach out.

Guo Wenying then said about the arrangements for disaster relief, and these people responded one by one, and none of them dared to object.

She casually ordered a few mansions to open the treasury, and the faces of those prefects turned white. He shuddered and said that this year's disaster situation in various places was serious, the harvest was not good, and there was not much grain in the government treasury.

Guo Wenying didn't say much, if she didn't have it, she didn't have it, even if she killed them, she couldn't take them out. She knew in her heart that she would let them do their best, and if they had no food, they would find a way to prepare, and let the wealthy businessmen from all over the country raise some donations, and hand them over to Zhang Mingchang for unified disposal.

These people thought they had escaped, and hurriedly responded, obviously frightened a lot by Guo Wenying's momentum just now, and most of them were pale.

Seeing that they were all honest, Guo Wenying didn't say anything more, she didn't want to do anything to these officials, but she came to the southeast to do big things, and she didn't expect these people to help her much, don't let her not cause trouble, just don't hinder her everywhere.

After this meal, she sent everyone out, and then called the master to arrange some matters, starting tomorrow, she can be regarded as the official governor of Fujian and Zhejiang.

The next morning, Guo Wenying asked Xu Heng to come and ask him to go to Quanzhou with him to inspect.

But I haven't seen him for a year or two, Xu Heng seems to have tanned a lot, with a full beard on his face, and a big knife in his hand and entered the governor's mansion, if it weren't for the smile on his face, it really looked like he came to rob.

Guo Wenying glanced at him, frowned, and said, "What kind of image are you? ”

remembers that Xu Heng in the past, although he was also sloppy, but he didn't have a big beard, and it was pleasing to the eye, but now it only reminded her of the gang of water bandits she met on the waterway. Even the bandit leader Du Erhei looks like a little white face than him.

Xu Heng was used to her, and he didn't have much courtesy, hugged his fists, and then sat beside her with a smile, "I said Master Guo, my old Xu is like this, I can't compare to those with thin skin and tender meat, and I can still think of me as black when I marry an aunt in the future?"

Guo Wenying snorted, he was really a little lazy to take care of him, he had learned to be poor in the southeast for many years.

She said, "Lu Weixin sent that person to you, how did you use it?"

Xu Heng said: "You are talking about Du Erhei, right? It is indeed a good hand, but these water bandits are not subject to discipline, they are all backbones, and they all let me rush to clean the latrine, and first do two months to grind the anger on my body." ”

Guo Wenying nodded, then Du Erhei should indeed be governed.

At this time, a maid served tea, she took a sip of it, and said, "I called you here today to discuss going to Quanzhou." ”

Xu Heng took a sip of tea, "My lord, that place is very dangerous, there are often widows and robbers, and adults are afraid that it is very dangerous to go." ”

Guo Wenying frowned, "I haven't been to any dangerous places, do you really think I am a boudoir woman?"

Xu Heng smiled, he didn't really regard her as a boudoir woman, but when he thought that she was a woman, he always felt a little different from before.

They said that they were going to go fast, and the carriages and horses were packed outside, Lu Weixin ordered a hundred brocade guards and three hundred guards to follow, and Xu Heng also took two or three hundred people to Quanzhou together.

On the way, Xu Heng told Guo Wenying about the recent situation in Quanzhou, since Jiang Taiping was driven out of Fujian, he traveled around, trying to gather people to make a comeback. The New Southern Army encircled and suppressed several times, eliminating many of his old troops, and then Jiang Taiping could not stay on land, so he ran to the sea, re-colluded with some Japanese bandits, gathered many people, occupied the island, and built a sea base.

Quanzhou's port has been being built since last year, but due to the disturbance of the Japanese from time to time, the construction has not been started, and the original construction has been abandoned.

They went all the way to Quanzhou, where the desolation makes people feel distressed, although it is after a period of recuperation, but the people do not move back much.
