Chapter 255: Public Opinion

Entering the cold winter, the weather is getting colder and colder, and the biting cold wind has invaded the entire Huang County, and the snow is even more embellished in Huang County. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoIn such a cold winter season, the people have nothing to do, most of the time they stay at home, and there are not many people wandering around the city.

On this day, two soldiers walked out of the palace.

The two of them, one on the left and one on the right, each carried a gong in their hands, and when they struck the gong, they shouted: "When the head of Li County deceived the people and exploited the people, Lord Taishou ordered him to be killed." ā€

The soldier's voice was loud and echoed through the streets.

After a while, the gong sounded again.

As the soldiers kept shouting and beating gongs and drums, the people opened the door one by one, poking their heads out one after another, revealing curious looks. After a short time, a large number of people gathered on the street, following behind to inquire for news. In this era, information was transmitted extremely slowly, and the people had no extra means of entertainment. As soon as I heard that there was a new situation in Donglai County, I kept discussing it.

The soldiers came to the south gate and quickly put up a notice. After the two soldiers left, the people standing quietly under the city tower exploded like a pot, and asked what happened?

"Let me go, I'm literate, let me come."

A middle-aged man in shabby clothes and a Confucian costume squeezed in. He stood under the notice, shook his head and read it, and a look of surprise gradually appeared on his face

"What the hell is going on? The chief bookkeeper of Dangli County was suddenly killed. ā€

"Could it be that the master of Dangli County has provoked Lord Taishou? Otherwise, the officials would not have been killed. ā€

"Tell me quickly, I'm dying."

A group of people urged, they all knew the general situation, and they all knew that the chief secretary of Dangli County had been killed. But the reason why the chief secretary of Dangli County was killed, the soldiers who struck the gong did not say in detail, they did not know.

The middle-aged man said aloud: "It's all quiet, listen to me"

There was a burst of boos around, and many people fell silent and waited.

The middle-aged man looked a little proud, and said loudly: "In order to punish the corrupt officials and corrupt officials in Donglai County, in order to let the people have grievances, he specially sent an investigation team to inspect the counties. After Lord Shi Ah inspected Dangli County, it was verified that the chief secretary of Dangli County oppressed the people and bent the law for bribes. On the spot, Lord Shi Ah beheaded the chief bookkeeper of Dangli County. ā€

As soon as these words came out, the people immediately cheered and cheered, as if they felt the same way, and applauded one after another.

"Corrupt officials should be killed, and it is because of these corrupt officials that we can't survive."

"If there were no corrupt officials in Donglai County, we would not be so poor. Lord Taishou is young, but he is very courageous, he is a good official in things, and God will bless Lord Taishou. ā€

The people's words came and went, and the number of people gathered around the notice increased.

The news of the killing of the chief bookkeeper of Dangli County spread quickly.

However, the news only caused a stir, and a few days later, the news of the beheading of the county chief subsided and disappeared from the mouths of the people, and rarely reappeared.

At this time, on December 10, the news came out again.

Two soldiers armed with gongs struck gongs and shouted, and then walked towards the south gate.

After the news came out, it immediately caused a sensation. A few days later, there was once again news that corrupt officials had been killed, which shocked the people and saw Wang Yan's determination.

After the notice was posted, middle-aged people in shabby Confucian clothes squeezed in again.

After reading it, the middle-aged man motioned for the people to be quiet.

When the people quieted down, the middle-aged man squinted his eyes slightly, and said slowly: "The notice said that Lord Shi Ah inspected Luxiang County, and now the chief book and Gong Cao of Luxiang County have set up the county order, and the two of them raised the price of grain and hoarded grain, causing the people of Luxiang County to complain, and hundreds of people starved to death. After Lord Shi Ah verified it clearly, he killed the two on the spot. ā€

In an instant, the people were in a sensation.

Hundreds of people were smiling, and for them, they were all dependent on the sky for food. When the harvest is good, even if the government oppresses, you can survive and not go hungry. Once the harvest is not good, and then it is oppressed by corrupt officials, it is really impossible to live.

This kind of experience has been experienced by ordinary people.

Their resentment against corrupt officials comes from in their bones.

As soon as they heard that two more corrupt officials in Luxiang County had been killed, they were all extremely excited.

The middle-aged man looked a little proud, and said again: "At the end of the notice, Lord Taishou also said that there will be no tolerance for corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and now one by one will be killed." As soon as the latest news comes back, it will be announced immediately. ā€

The people nodded one after another, expecting more corrupt officials to be killed.

After the second notice, there was a peculiar phenomenon, every day people would go to the south gate to see if there were any new notices under the city tower.

Day after day, day after day.

On December 16, this day, when the soldiers carrying the gong walked out of the palace with the notice, as soon as the gong sounded, the city boiled, and hundreds of people actually walked out of their homes one after another and ran straight to the south gate.

When the soldiers arrived at the south gate, hundreds of people were already looking forward to it.

After the notice was posted, and after the soldiers left, the middle-aged man walked forward wearing the same shabby Confucian robe. None of the people around spoke silently, staring quietly.

After a while, the middle-aged man faced all the people and said aloud: "The notice says that the captain of the country bullies the weak, bullies men and women with the army, and even marries twenty-three concubines, and occupies the fertile land of hundreds of people. After Lord Shi Ah verified it clearly, he was not afraid of hardships and dangers, and directly led the army into the barracks, and beheaded the captain of the national capital in front of the national soldiers. ā€

A cheer resounded at the city gates.

At this moment, the people not only respect Wang Yan, but also believe in Wang Yan from the bottom of their hearts, because Wang Yan constantly executes corrupt officials and corrupt officials from all over the country, which is on their side.

The continuous news came out, and the people actually formed a tacit understanding.

The government was also very punctual, and every few days, a notice would be posted announcing the beheading of corrupt officials in various counties of Donglai County. There was even news that the minister of state of the country was corrupt and bent the law and was killed. The news that the prime minister of a Hou State was killed spread in Huang County and even Donglai County, causing a sensation like an earthquake.

With the passage of time, Wang Yan's prestige and credibility in the hearts of the people have increased dramatically.

The people all recognize and believe in Wang Yan, especially the people of Huangxian County, who have food and clothing throughout the winter, although they do not eat well and do not dress gorgeously, at least they will not be starved to death because of the cold weather, and the people are even more grateful to Dade, and they are even more fanatical to believe in Wang Yan.

The message kept repeating, and the people gradually got used to it.

It seems that it is not normal that no news of corrupt officials being killed has been posted.

December 28, the government office.

On this day, Wang Yan convened the officials under his command to discuss the matter and arrange the government affairs for the next period of time. Then, he informed the people under his command of the news of the eighth day of the first month. After Guo Jia, Jia Xu and others learned about it, they asked to go one after another. Huang Zhong and Hu Zhao, as military generals of Yewenchen, also proposed to go to Linzi County.

After some discussion, Wang Yan decided that Hu Zhao and Huang Zhong would stay in Huang County, and the rest of the civil and military generals could go together.

However, Hu Zhao and Huang Zhong stayed for the time being, and when they were close to the wedding date, they could only leave for Linzi County after arranging the military administration of Donglai County, after all, Huang County could not be empty for a long time.

In the afternoon, a team of people left the government office, and after leaving Huang County, they all hurried and went straight to Linzi County.
