Xu Sanjin was definitely going to die, and after Gu Xuan saw the information about him that he got from Gu Cang, he determined this belief for two reasons.

First, he is too greedy, making the local people miserable, leaving a mess not to mention, his new official has three fires, and he must set an example for the people in order to quickly integrate into them, so as to facilitate the implementation of many strategies in the future, thinking about it, only Xu Sanjin is the most suitable candidate for the knife.

Second, and most importantly, he was lawless and occupied and raped Jinglong's sister-in-law, who was a martyr's widow, meritorious to the country, and reasonable, and it was not too much to kill him.

When a human head fell to the ground, Chen Anmin seemed to have been pulled out of his whole body in an instant, and sat on the ground with a stunned face, to be honest, he actually hadn't reacted at all, he was still talking and laughing together in the morning, imagining a better future of friends, protecting his top boss, how could he die in a blink of an eye, when he was forced to write the indictment, he was still confused, the word death, for everyone, after all, it was too heavy.

Gu Xuan didn't care about these at all, seeing that everything was settled, he immediately stood up, looked at the crowd below, and said loudly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am the newly canonized king of Hedong County by the imperial court, this Huangsha County is the fief of this king, just now you also saw it, the former Huangsha County magistrate Xu Sanjin has been executed by this king, and it can be regarded as an explanation to the people who have been oppressed by him, here, this king promises that in the future, there will never be favoritism and fraud in the Yamen, and the officials who are vegetarian in the corpse position, now the county government is short of manpower, if you have the heart to come to the county government to do things for the king, you can come directly, if there is nothing else, you will disperse. ”

Just leave a good image for the people first, and if you just come here, you don't need to say anything if you are not familiar with the place.

"Go back and report to the court, just say that when Lord Xu left, a small group of horse bandits suddenly attacked, and the former county magistrate Xu Sanjin fought bravely to kill the enemy, but he was outnumbered and beheaded by the bandits, and tried his best to only snatch back the corpse, understand?"

Chen Anmin only reacted for a long time that the prince was talking to him, and quickly nodded and agreed, he was even more scared in his heart, he understood that this was a reward for Xu Sanjin to have a good reputation behind him, and if he was killed by horse bandits, he could at least find the court to ask for a pension for his wife and children in his hometown.

After Gu Xuan finished speaking, he walked back directly with the people, but there was no joy on the faces of the people watching the excitement below, they all looked at this handsome boy who claimed to be the king of the imperial court with an indifferent expression, even if he saw that the magistrate who had bullied them before lost his head on the spot, there was no special reaction.

In the crowd, a pair of grim eyes also looked at this side, as if a hungry wolf had seen an opponent who had come to grab food.

Walking all the way back to the county office, Gu Xuan unceremoniously sat on the main seat belonging to the county magistrate, and said, "Call all the people in the county office." ”

Chen Anmin was a little relieved at this time, and he heard the other party's question, as the person in charge of the highest official position in the former county government except for Xu Sanjin, he should naturally answer at the moment, Chen Anmin stepped forward with some fear, and arched his hand: "Lord Wang, there are only us people left in the original county government, and there is also a warden in the barracks, but he doesn't deal with Xu Sanjin, the former magistrate of the county, and has been living in the barracks in Beicheng District with the militia team." ”

The military wardens of the county governments in various parts of the Liang Kingdom were in charge of the county's recruitment of soldiers, horses and training tasks, and also undertook the heavy tasks of suppressing bandits, city defense and post stations, which were similar to the military departments of the imperial court in terms of duties, but simplified a lot.

"Oh, how can you not deal with it?" Gu Xuan raised his eyebrows, and suddenly became interested, and asked while looking at some of the past documents piled up in Huangsha County and the Yamen that Ma Mingze had moved from the warehouse.

Chen Anmin didn't dare to hide it, he was completely afraid of this little prince who acted without scruples and went straight, so he hurriedly stepped forward and explained: " Because, uh, because Xu Sanjin wanted to cooperate with Zhu Dachun, the soldier secretary of the military room, to be greedy for the money originally scheduled for the militia, but Zhu Dachun refused, and then decided to secretly dismiss Zhu Dachun and investigate it, as a result, Zhu Dachun and the former Youzhou Army garrison in this place befriended him, so he couldn't do it, but the salary was still secretly greedy by Xu Sanjin, Zhu Dachun was angry, so he took the militia team to live in the military camp in Beicheng District, and did not listen to the Yamen's orders, Xu Sanjin just asked for money, and did not want to make trouble, so he did not force him too much, and the situation has been maintained like this。 ”

"Oh, it seems that he is still a clean official. Gu Xuan also turned to Zhu Dachun's information from a pile of documents at this time, not much, that is, to introduce his basic situation, when he saw that the other party was a veteran of the Youzhou Army, he immediately became interested, turned to Jinglong and said, "This person is good, he can be useful, and he will come with me to see him later." ”

"Yes, my lord. ”

Jinglong arched his hand on the side.

Turning his head, Gu Xuan said to Chen Anmin below: "You go on." ”

"Yes. Chen Anmin's mood also calmed down at this time, and after the salute, he continued, "Lord Wang, that's all, there are only these people in the yamen." ”

Gu Xuan raised his head, looked at Chen Anmin and the more than ten officials who didn't dare to look at him at all in the audience, and said helplessly: "I also saw it just now, there is no money and grain left in the treasury, and the money is just that, and the money that was searched from Xu Sanjin's carriage can also be used for a long time, let me ask you, what about the grain that should have been?"

"Ugh. Chen Anmin hesitated, not knowing whether to say it or not, and he didn't know how to say it.

Gu Xuan suddenly slapped the shocked wood, and shouted, "Why don't you say it soon, or do you want to go to the execution ground too?"

"Ah, yes!" Chen Anmin was startled, and hurriedly replied, "Lord Wang, part of the grain and grass was taken away by Zhu Dachun, and the remaining part was all sold by Xu Sanjin. ”

Gu Xuan asked in a deep voice, "Sold to?"

Chen Anmin raised his head slightly, and said softly with some shrunken: "It's sold to strangers at a low price." ”

"Bastard!" Gu Xuan was furious, "The imperial court stipulates that the grain in the yamen's treasury must not be sold to strangers, do you not know this decree or are you blind and can't see it? What is the difference between such behavior and treason with the enemy! It's really damned!"

"This, the lower officials can't stop him. ”

Chen Anmin had a bitter face and helplessly defended himself.

Gu Xuan sighed, shook his head slightly, and said, "That's it, there is still money, and you can go to other places to buy grain, Chen Anmin!"

"The lower official is here!" Chen Anmin hurriedly bowed and saluted.

"You still obediently do your main book, now is the time to employ people, you and Xu Sanjin before the little bit of shit, the king will not be held accountable, these class officials also continue to do, this king is now going to visit Zhu Dachun, and then visit this Huangsha County, if someone comes to answer the call, you will leave them first, and wait for the king to come back and then do the screening." ”

"Yes!"

Chen Anmin agreed.

Gu Xuan threw down the paperwork and rubbed his temples, with an incomparably headache.

Xu Sanjin really left a mess for himself, there is nothing in the treasury of the county government, there are not even a few people, the county officials who should have been, the six-room wardens, etc. are all vacant, this is the most serious problem.

There is no money, no food, and even no armor, you can ask the court for it, only the officials can't ask for it, when, people are worth more than other foreign things, and now there is a lack of personnel, and the entire county government can't run at all, so you can't let him go to the gatehouse and patrol the night.

No matter how powerful the top is, it is only the policy that is issued, and it is the officials at the bottom who really implement it, they are like the foundation of the house, without them, no matter how high the top is built, it is a castle in the air, and it will collapse at any time.

Although Gu Xuan has read sage books since he was a child, he really knows how appropriate Gu Cang's two sentences are when he arrives at this time.

On paper, I finally feel shallow, and I never know that I have to do it!

Anyone can talk about soldiers on paper, but when it comes to dealing with the problem, they will find that they have no way to start at all, and Gu Xuan is also very helpless about the lack of talent, he can't remember this kind of thing, so he can only visit the chief of the military room first to see the situation, after all, city defense is also the top priority.

And at this moment, a maid outside the house suddenly ran in in a hurry, ignoring the fact that the people present were talking about official business, and shouted loudly with a panicked face.

"Oh no, no, ma'am, ma'am, ma'am, ma'am committing suicide!"
