Luzhou City is located in the south of Zizhou Road, is a mountainous and forested place, close to Yizhou Road, and Meizhou is only six or seven hundred miles apart.

The Yangtze River Wharf in Luzhou City, with a radius of two or three hundred zhang, is very large! On the dock, a middle-aged man in a light green official uniform stood in front of the pier with an anxious face, and from time to time he also observed the surroundings, as if he was afraid of a monster popping up from somewhere.

Hundreds of men and horses were arranged around the dock, armed with bows and arrows, armed with knives and spears! These soldiers are tall and tall, wearing a suit of armor, looking majestic, and their eyes shoot a ray of essence from time to time, and at a glance they know that they are not easy to match! I don't know who led the soldiers, but they had such a military appearance.

Xu Gang was dressed in a crimson official robe, standing at the bow of the boat, looking at the slowly retreating mountain, and couldn't help but sigh secretly: "Hey! It's finally coming! ”

Xu Gang passed by Luzhou Wharf twice, the first time was when he went to Kaiyuanguan, and the second time was when he went to Beijing not long ago to catch the exam. However, they did not disembark at Luzhou Wharf.

"It's coming, it's coming!" A blue-robed official with eyebrows like a knife pointed to the big boat slowly coming in the distance, his face was full of excitement, and he could return to the city after receiving Zhizhou!

The other officials on the dock also showed excitement on their faces, tidied up their clothes one by one, stood in turn according to the size of their official positions, and waited for the big ship to anchor!

"Xiaguan Li Desheng, meet Lord Zhizhou! You've worked hard all the way! The middle-aged man in a green official uniform hurriedly greeted Xu Gang, saluted, and said politely.

"Li Tongju, I've been waiting for a long time!" Xu Gang nodded at him and said in a flat tone.

This green-robed middle-aged man named Li Desheng is about forty years old, and as soon as Xu Gang heard him state his name, his official position popped out of his head: Luzhou General Judgment!

"Yan Haifeng, the commander of Luchuan County, has seen Lord Zhizhou"

"Zhou Wenquan, the commander of Jiang'an County, Xiaguan, has seen Lord Zhizhou"

"Lingtian Mirror, Hejiang County, Xiaguan, I have seen Lord Zhizhou"

Xu Gang met with the county magistrate of the three counties one by one, and saw an acquaintance

"Commander Meng, when did you come to Luzhou?" Xu Gang was slightly stunned, and there was some excitement in his tone. "Haha, Brother Xu, oh no, General Xu Zhizhou" Meng Changqing changed his title again and again, and finally called Xu Gang's military position! Meng Changqing was observing the surrounding situation just now, with his back to Xu Gang, so he didn't see him for the first time.

"Are these your sons?" As soon as Xu Gang got off the boat, he saw those fierce soldiers, and he was wondering on the boat, who was so powerful that he could train this excellent army.

"Let General Xu see and laugh!" Meng Changqing replied modestly, in fact, he had a lot to say to Xu Gang, but there were too many people here, and it was not very convenient.

"Lord Zhizhou, you have worked hard all the way, the lower officials have set up a banquet in the city to catch the wind and wash the dust for you, and please move!" Li Tongju took a step forward and bowed to Xu Gang.

The sky is gradually darkening, Li Tong really doesn't want to stay outside the city longer, the leader of the Dingzhou barbarian tribe has been wandering around, and there are many subordinates, if you meet it, it will not be treated!

Zhou Wenquan and the other county commanders also looked at Xu Gang with an expectant face, and they all wanted to return to the state city as soon as possible.

"Sure enough, the upper beam is not right, and the lower beam is crooked! Before others attacked the city, Yuan Zhizhou was so frightened that he abandoned the city and fled, but died! And his subordinates are also a group of people who are afraid of death, no wonder a barbarian leader in the state of restraint dares to be so rampant! Xu Gang frowned slightly, glanced at Meng Changqing, and shook his head slightly.

"Then let's go, this official is indeed a little tired!" Xu Gang still gave them a step down.

Since Li Tong's sentence came down, he was very excited, called a sedan chair, invited Xu Gang to come in, and went to the state city! I didn't encounter any harassment along the way, and I entered the city smoothly, and suddenly a few long deep breaths reached Xu Gang's ears.

After the group entered the city, the city gate was closed, Meng Changqing and Xu Gang said hello, and then returned to the city defense position with his subordinates.

The people of the city were all like frightened birds, many people's doors were closed, all the rice shops were robbed, the price of grain continued to soar, theft and theft continued to increase, and the gangsters and bullies became even more hateful, oppressing the people and molesting women

The people on the street were all looking around, as if they were afraid of rushing out of a bad person at any time, which would be unfavorable to them, and the whole city was filled with an extremely oppressive atmosphere!

"Hey, it's all the result of the government's incompetence!" Xu Gang secretly made up his mind in his heart that he must rectify the official system as soon as possible, crack down on profiteers, sanction the powerful, and appease the people.

Under the guidance of Li Tongju, Xu Gang came to the state capital, and the architectural style is similar to that of the Meishan County Office, but it is larger and more beautiful.

"It's really fun to be an official! In this environment, there is still a mood for big fish and big meat! Xu Gang looked at the table of wine and delicacies, and a group of court officials who were drinking happily, and he was angry, but since he had just arrived today, he endured it.

After the reception banquet, Xu Gang went to the backyard to rest on the grounds of fatigue.

Xu Gang sat in the room, picked up the teacup and took a sip gently, and shouted with a little majesty: "Commander Meng!" ”

"The subordinates are here!" Meng Changqing stood up violently and clenched his fists, and responded sonorously. As soon as he saw Xu Gang's attitude, he knew that he was going to talk about business.

"Tonight, take out the three people, divide them into a team of ten, and patrol the whole city! Anyone who is found stealing or stealing, or oppressing the good people, will be punished severely! Xu Gang's tone was firm, and his eyes were full of murderous intentions.

"Whoever steals the second one will have one finger cut off; and he that oppresses the people shall be scourged twenty; Those who rape women will be punished directly! All those who did wrongdoing, after being punished, were tied up and hung at the entrance of the vegetable market to show the public! ”

"General Xu, will this cause public outrage?" Meng Changqing saw Xu Gang so violent, worried that it would cause panic among the people, and then arouse public anger.

"Brother Meng, if the younger brother doesn't do this, it will cause public anger!" Xu Gang sighed, and after the order was over, he put down his official frame and began to explain his approach to Meng Changqing!

"Due to the abandonment of the city in the original Zhizhou, the people in the city are panicking, prices are soaring, and there are more and more illegal acts such as theft and robbery. Only then will it really cause public anger and even riots! Xu Gang's face was solemn, he paused slightly, and looked at Meng Changqing, who was frowning.

"Benevolent government in prosperous times, heavy codes in troubled times! As far as the current Luzhou City is concerned, not having to repeat the ceremony is not enough to shake the night! The further Xu Gang said, the tougher his tone became.

Meng Changqing seeks stability in his work, he doesn't think it's wrong for Xu Gang to do this, but he is worried that he is young and vigorous, and he will make some uncontrollable messes!

However, seeing that Xu Gang knew what he knew, Meng Changqing didn't persuade him anymore, and after getting up to receive the order, he left the state office! (To be continued.) )
