Guo Xun was older after all, and he rested for half a day before leaving for Fanyang...... And what's interesting is that he actually made the trip under Lu Fan's repeated urging.

In fact, the latter went out at dawn to prepare carriages and horses for this Youzhou assassin, but it made Gongsun Xun and the families of his subordinates who fell in Fan Yuting have to wait for another day, which is also unexpected.

But no matter what, in the evening of the same day, when the sky was dark, Guo Xun finally returned to Fanyang City, and as soon as he arrived in the city, he bumped into a group of state officials who had been waiting for a long time with panicked faces.

"What's going on!" Guo Xun was nervous.

The state officials looked at each other for a long time, and only then did one of the people in charge come forward and report:

"Uncle Fang, you better take care of it! This morning, the Gongsun Taishou entered the city, and we had just taken the county order, and then he forcibly took the right to do it, and we could not resist......"

"Let's not talk about it yet." Guo Xun was in a hurry. "I just want to ask you, how did he deal with those cases we set up before and the people who committed them?"

"Don't dare to hide Uncle Fang, I was about to talk about it." Under the lights of the tower, this person's face was full of panic. "Now, those rangers in the city who killed people and didn't kill people, in the name of the gang, the whole gang was seized of weapons and punished as a city dan, and the traveling merchants everywhere were also raided and imprisoned, and the people in charge of several wealthy families were also tied up and locked up in the official temple...... Now, only the Lu clan is barely surrounded and hasn't done anything! ”

Guo Xun was at a loss for a while, and it took a long time to fully understand why Lu Fan repeatedly urged him to come over as soon as possible...... If this doesn't come again, won't Fan Yang City be swept away?!

So, Guo Tingshi didn't think much about it, so he hurriedly got back on the carriage and horses, and asked a group of state officials to hurry to the Lu family's house.

When I got there, I saw that the lights were bright in front of the Lu family's house, and I don't know how many people were around, all of them were torches in one hand and blades in the other. And the Gongsun Xun with a purple ribbon and gold seal sat proudly on a captain's chair in front of the Lu family, surrounded by several extraordinary people. One of them is nine feet tall, with long hair and a bare face, and then he is holding a bright Qimen big knife, which is majestic and awe-inspiring!

And the eldest son of the Lu family, at this time, was lying on the wall, under the light of the lights, crying bitterly, while talking to the person opposite, it made people feel pitiful.

"Come out!" Gongsun Xun glanced at Guo Xun who rushed over, but ignored it, and just continued to speak to the people on the wall with some impatience. "For the sake of Master Lu, I don't bring torture tools to you, senior brother, and the people in the province say that I don't respect the teacher; I won't send you to Luoyang to be disciplined by the teacher, and you will be beaten to death by him in public, and you will ...... at the main gate."

"I'm not going out!" The eldest son of Lu Zhi wept more and more. "You think I don't know, those people were all punished by you as Chengdan, if I am also shaved by you and filled Chengdan, it is better to be beaten to death by my father!"

"Not really!" Gongsun Xun hurriedly persuaded loudly again. "As long as Senior Brother, you donate some more money after you come out...... cloth and grain are preferred; If you let all the vastmen and slaves in your family come out to be the priests, then you may not need to shave your head! ”

Chengdan and Sikou are both forms of labor punishment in the Han law, the former is responsible for the maintenance and maintenance of the city, and the latter is the labor for guarding and patrolling.

According to the Han law, the application of the former is more serious, generally requires six years of service, and then because the applicable crime is more serious, it is generally necessary to shave the head, which is the so-called punishment; The latter has a lesser length of service, generally two years, so the proportion of additional sentences will be smaller.

"In that case, you might as well shave your head!" Where does Lu Zhi's eldest son have the slightest demeanor of a father, and he is almost ugly. "Senior brother, prince, prince...... Spare me in my Father's sight. I definitely don't dare to compete with your Amway, I thought that your family was really going to leave, so I couldn't help but collect these traveling merchants. And the goods I have accumulated over the years are all the law-abiding income of my family, which is hard-earned......"

"Senior brother, this makes it difficult for me!" Gongsun Xun turned his head to look at Guo Xun, who was standing on the sidelines and watched coldly, and then looked at his senior brother on the wall, and his tone became helpless. "You see, I'm a protégé, so I can't smash the door of my teacher's house in public, right? How long are you going to go on like this? Stay up all night?! ”

Without waiting for Lu Zhi's eldest son to reply, Guo Xun also sighed, and stepped forward to negotiate with Gongsun Xun Zhengse.

After a while, Gongsun Xun turned around and left here, and then Guo Tingshi, who took over the scene, ordered his subordinates to attack the Lu Mansion and pulled out the crying Lu son in public!

In just one day, Fan Yang City was completely turned upside down.

Guo Xun took down the eldest son of the Lu family and returned to the county temple, naturally a state official took over to interrogate him carefully, and he himself was full of thoughts and went to find the Gongsun Xun again.

I couldn't walk two steps, and just came to the gate of the county temple, but I saw the other party standing there with his hands in his hands, and the nine-foot man holding the knife said some inexplicable nonsense under the lamplight: "If Yun Chang is not used to using this knife, it is better to use a spear, how can the life and death fight on the battle array be underestimated?" ”

And the red-faced man was still calm: "I understand the meaning of the prince, but although this knife is strange, it is better than a thousand tempers, sharpening iron like clay, which can be called a divine soldier...... When it comes to the battle array, it may have a miraculous effect! Moreover, this knife is extremely heavy, and it is used to exercise arm strength on weekdays, and it is far better than a stone lock. ”

"In this case, I still use spears, and then find someone to carry the sword for you in battle, so that I can temporarily replace my weapons." Gongsun Xun is meticulous.

"That's a good idea." The red-faced man sighed slightly. "I'm already heavy, and I'm going to scrap a horse in a few months, if I add eighty-two pounds of this knife, I'm afraid I'll have a horse a month!"

"Then find a strong man among these Chengdan and Sikou punished today, forgive his sins, and hold a sword with you." Gongsun Xun didn't think so, but he turned his head to look at the person who came. "Why is Uncle Fang late?"

Seeing that the assassin of a state wanted to talk to the county guard, from the nine-foot man down, everyone retreated, and the rest of the county officials who traveled to and from the state also bypassed the side of the gate, each entered and exited carefully, and then they were still busy.

"Why am I late, Gongsun Fujun doesn't know?" Guo Xun saw that everyone was avoiding, and he sighed for a while, but he gave up his hand to apologize. "Not to mention anything else, I used to spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain...... I misunderstood the prince, and I hope that the grandson of the mansion will forgive me. ”

"Uncle Fang enforces the law impartially, it's too late for me to admire, so where can I be dissatisfied?" Gongsun Xun said disapprerovitically. It's just that he didn't want to be damaged by his name, so he did such a thing early in the morning, which made Fang Bojian smile...... Also, you and I are friends in the world, Uncle Fang is old, just call me by my name. ”

Guo Xun wanted to speak and stopped.

Gongsun Xun was still absent-minded.

"That being the case, Wenqi." Guo Xun said helplessly. "I ask you, is your punishment a little heavier? I have heard the governor tell me that the rangers in the city, no matter what they are guilty of, will be punished by you as a city dan; Businessmen and wealthy families were all robbed of their homes and imprisoned...... One of them didn't comply, so they said that they were going to rebel, and on the way just now, I knew why the son of Lu Gong was so frightened, have you killed seventy or eighty people because others resisted? ”

"What is seventy or eighty?" Gongsun Xun sighed, but his eyes were erratic. "In which year is the pandemic, and in which year is the homeless people in turmoil who don't die in thousands? And I'm under suspicion, even Uncle Fang thinks I'm related to these people, if I can't make a heavy hand, how can I prove my innocence? is to take 10,000 steps back and say, I am too dignified and a county, and if I change the order as soon as I take office, wouldn't I be ridiculed? ”

Guo Xun was silent for a while, and only after a long time did he speak: "What about the Lu family and these wealthy families?" What are you going to do with it? ”

"Surrender most of the family's money, food, vain, and slaves, and be exempt from punishment." Gongsun Xun said calmly. "Zhuo County is a big county, and these wealthy families and clans are involved everywhere, so we still have to leave some dignity."

"Wen Qi." Guo Xun is colorful. "What do you want so much food, cloth, and money for? And there are so many Chengdan and Sikou, it is inevitable that it will be a little too much, right? ”

"Guo Gong thinks too much." Gongsun Xun still replied quietly. "Money and food are used to help the poor in the surrounding countryside, and they are always not afraid of more. As for so many Chengdan and Sikou...... After the New Year, when spring and summer come, the DPRK and China will inevitably grant amnesty to the world, and it will be released at that time...... And how about taking this opportunity to renovate the city defenses of the cities in this county? For example, this Fanyang City is the gateway to Youzhou, which has always been a majestic city, but it has fallen into disrepair for a long time. ”

"That's just as well!" Guo Xun's face was stunned.

"I'm going to Zhuo County, how about this Fan Yang bother Guo Gong to stay here for two months?" Gongsun Xun continued. "One is to take care of so many Chengdan and Sikou, and you need a competent person; Second, it is also a big deal to renovate the city, and I will leave more goods, food and Guo Gong...... Anyway, spring ploughing can't be done, Guo Gong is always not good to inspect the state and county, right? ”

"That being said, don't you want to live in the same city as me?" Guo Xun frowned slightly. "That's why I came to Fanyang?"

"That's what it means." Gongsun Xun didn't blink his eyelids. "I have always acted resolutely, if I live in Zhuo County with Guo Gong, I am afraid that you and I will be in the way...... Instead of competing with each other, it is better to separate for a while, anyway, Fan Yang really needs someone to sit here, and it will not delay Guo Gong to deal with things in the state. ”

Guo Xun thought about it, but he bowed his head directly...... As soon as the other party took office, this kind of thing happened, and he didn't want to continue to make too much trouble with the other party, and the key is that as the other party said, Fan Yang has disposed of so many people here, and he has to renovate the city, which is really reassuring.

You must know that this case was originally done by itself, and the other party handed over the criminal in this case, which can be regarded as a beginning and an end.

The two sides agreed on the general plan, and the subsection would naturally have his hands to do it, and Guo Xun was tired of the carriage and horses, and he was also ready to rest, but after turning around, he finally couldn't bear it anymore, and actually turned back again: "Wen Qi, you have been looking at it before, what are you looking at?" ”

"I'm looking at the handwriting!" Gongsun Xun said with a smile, then took a few steps back and pointed to the gate of this Fan Yang Guan Temple.

Guo Xun took the opportunity to look over, and saw that under the lights, the word 'Jiazi' was written in white powder on the gate on the side of the official temple...... It's not big, it's not very conspicuous, but it's hard to ignore, and I don't know who wrote it down mischievously.

"Oh!" Guo Xun thought about it for a while, and then suddenly realized. "It's the New Year, and the next year will be the Year of Jiazi! It's also hard work...... I'm afraid that I will have to work hard to receive county affairs under the New Year's Festival. ”

Gongsun Xun smiled.

Immediately, the two left and right, each left.

Among them, Guo Xun wanted to go to the official temple to rest, but Gongsun Xun claimed to go to his teacher's house to rest, and he didn't know whether the Lu Mansion, which had been smashed through the gate, would welcome this careless person to visit again.

However, it turned out that the Lu family should not have done anything to Gongsun Xun, because a day later, the newly appointed Zhuojun Taishou was full of energy and brought the family members who came behind, and still went to Zhuo County in the north.

When there were still ten miles away from Zhuo County, Liu Bei took Zhang Fei, Jian Yong, and Zhao who came one step in advance, and led dozens of rangers who were fighting in Zhuo County to meet each other on the side of the road.

"Xuande!" Gongsun Xun couldn't help but smile and jump out of the car when he saw the other person from a distance, because he saw that a big man with an extraordinarily strong body and a beard that was not inferior to that of a leader was actually saluting respectfully to him, so he was in a good mood for a while. "Don't come unharmed."

The other party was so affectionate, but Liu Bei couldn't stop smiling bitterly.

In other words, he is unharmed, but he is just a little worried...... A few days ago, the other party and the uncle of the state side worked together to take down the traveling merchant group on Fanyang's side in one fell swoop, and by the way, hundreds of rangers and scoundrels in the city were shaved their heads and punished as Chengdan, and even the eldest son of Lu Shi was shaved his head, imprisoned, and fined money and food for accepting illegal traveling merchants. This incident caused everyone in Zhuo County to panic, so how could he, Liu Bei, the leader of the rangers who had just received the traveling merchants, not be worried?

"Don't worry, my brother." Gongsun Xun stepped forward, supported Liu Bei with his own hands, and then dragged this guy with one hand, and personally helped Jian Yong, Zhao Zhao, and the strong man with the other hand in turn. "I've heard Zijing (lead the words) send someone to say this, don't worry, this matter is not what you think, Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping are not the people I want to clean up, you can rest assured."

Liu Bei couldn't help but let out a long breath.

"Prince." Just when Gongsun Xun was about to ask, Jian Yong Jian Xianhe suddenly asked. "Fan Yang's matter, everyone talked about it, but they didn't know the details. Now that the prince and the marquis say to Xuande, Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping are not the people you want to clean up, so what are the regulations? Please also ask the prince for advice, good morning Zhuojun people's hearts. ”

"It's easy." Gongsun Xun glanced at Liu Bei's lips, which had not had a few hairs in three years, but immediately said something. "Xuande, let me ask you, what kind of business do Su and Zhang do?"

"Horses...... There is also cloth. Liu Bei hurriedly replied seriously. Selling horses from Liaoxi, selling cloth from Zhongshan! ”

"That's it!" Gongsun Xun immediately explained. "Horses and cloth can be regarded as practical things, but Fan Yang's group of traveling merchants are mostly just selling luxury things......

Liu Bei and the others were all stunned.

"Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road!" Gongsun Xun continued to sneer. "Who are you going to do if you don't fix them?"

"I see." As soon as these words came out, Liu Bei was even more speechless, but he suddenly remembered one of the stakeholders, and couldn't help but ask more. "But Brother Bogui used to work here, but he was very indulgent to the traveling merchants there, I asked him, but he said that it was ......"

"It's Amway's cargo, isn't it?" Gongsun Xun was also a little embarrassed, but disappeared immediately. "However, my mother also noticed something and took the initiative to shrink the Amway...... She wrote to me a few months ago, and she said that the people in various places were getting poorer and poorer, and it was becoming more and more difficult to make bulk commodities, but that luxury things had not weakened, so she had the idea of withdrawing to the north of Zhuo County. ”

"Is this because of this?" Jian Yong was also completely stunned. "The old lady's name has also been admired for a long time, but she is really a heroine among women!"

Gongsun Xun was silent...... It is said that Aunt Gongsun chose to evacuate that day, of course, because of the Taiping Road; Second, there is indeed a consideration after noticing the so-called decline in the consumption capacity of the people in Hebei. It's just that this consideration is just that after the reduction of bulk commodities, if it is only a luxury product, there is no need to lay too many commercial networks.

The so-called 'Zhumen wine and meat stinky road has frozen bones' is even more nonsense!

In fact, what Aunt Gongsun meant at the time was that this kind of rich people's money is not earned in vain!

As for why Gongsun Xun was so ruthless to Fan Yang and those people...... The answer is very simple, the moral high ground, he can't let Guo Xun take it away! If Guo Xun really gets rid of Fan Yang's gang, what will happen to his grandson Xun?! Therefore, I am more ruthless, more serious, more loving than you, and more against these miscellaneous things!

Moreover, anyway, it is necessary to mobilize the war potential of the county as soon as possible, so if the meeting encourages everyone to hand over the money, food and strong men happily, it is better to use the plate prepared by Guo Tingshi a long time ago, and directly draw it out with a knife!

Didn't you see the word Jiazi written on Fanyang Guan Temple...... How many days are left?

Here, Gongsun Xun reluctantly fooled Liu Bei, Jian Yong and others, and was just about to ask the majestic bearded man, but suddenly saw a convoy on the road, a large car and a small car, and the servants were tired, and it actually stretched for half a mile!

Gongsun Xun frowned and puzzled: "What is this doing?" The New Year is approaching, and you have to move?! ”

Liu Bei turned around and was silent.

However, the majestic beard opened his mouth and said: "Back to Junhou, this is a big family in the city, it has always been illegal, I think I heard that Junhou cleaned up luxury in Fanyang, and he was timid, and wanted to go to Guangyang to avoid the limelight...... Among other tribes there are branches in Guangyang. ”

Gongsun Xun nodded suddenly, but suddenly looked back: "Where is Yun Chang?" ”
