King Xiao Gao spent one night in Fangtou City, and did not visit prostitutes in the city, let alone disturb the people.

When they left the next day, the people of Fangtou all praised it, but there was an unrecognizable corpse in the wilderness, and no one knew the origin.

Gao Cheng's mood was inexplicably comfortable, and he rode his beloved black horse to the front of the team, beside Hu Luguang and Gao Jishi, who were a little behind.

After Gao Aocao followed Gao Huan to leave Luoyang, Gao Jishi has been following Gao Cheng to listen to him.

Gao Cheng turned his head and shouted to the three staff members in the carriage behind him:

"Shuzheng, what is the most important thing in dividing the field?"

Cui Jishu replied remotely:

"Fair!"

Gao Cheng shouted at Yang Su again:

"Zunyan, what is the most important thing for the examiner?"

"Fair!"

Gao Cheng continued to shout to Chen Yuankang:

"Changyou, what did we bring with us on this trip?"

"Fair!"

Gao Cheng laughed when he heard this:

"That's right! Fair! Fair! It's still fair for that little maid! ”

When Gao Cheng was about to arrive in Hebei to preside over the official examination, and the news of the redistribution of acres of land reached Xiangzhou, people rushed to tell each other.

"When the son of the world comes, there will be a blue sky."

Whether it is a poor peasant, or a poor student, or even a side branch of a wealthy family, they spontaneously gather at the west gate of Yecheng.

The poor people naturally count on Gao Cheng to make decisions for them, and the poor students and the side branches of the wealthy families are because of a recent rumor.

An organization that did not want to disclose its name, at the behest of a prince who did not want to be named, released a message:

This exam is presided over by the prince of Bohai, and the people who are recorded will be treated as protégés of the prince.

Of course, Gao Cheng adheres to an attitude of not admitting, denying, and being irresponsible for this kind of thing.

Who made the rumor? Don't you know that the most disgusting thing for the Gao family father and son is rumors?

Outside the crowded west gate, a small piece of land was vacant, and in the middle of the field kneeled a scribe, who was obviously still alive, but made people feel a little angry.

"Who is this man? How can you kneel here, is it possible that there is a great grievance? ”

The crowd pointed.

An insider informed:

"He is the one who was left in Yecheng by the prince to guard the grievances."

Everyone looked at him with disdain, especially the peasants, who spat at him in a violent temper.

Gao De's heart kneeling on the ground is like ashes, although he is a side branch of the Bohai Gao family, but he has been poor since childhood.

After Gao Cheng arrived in Xindu, he was appreciated for his diligence and perseverance, and he stayed by his side, first in Cangzhou and then in the distribution of acres in Hebei.

Gao Cheng went to Luoyang, and he couldn't rest assured that he had made an agreement with the people of Hebei, leaving him in Yecheng to guard the drums of grievances and convey the people's feelings.

When the prince made an oath with the people of Hebei, Gao De on the side was also excited, but why did things develop to this situation? Perhaps when he accepted the first fortune and drove away the first pauper who shouted injustice, he was doomed to today's outcome.

"The Son of the World is here! The Son of the World is coming! ”

Someone shouted ahead.

Gao De's body shook like a dry well, he wanted to escape, he felt that he had no face to see Gao Cheng again, it was he who made the prince lose his trust in front of the people of Hebei, and he risked making a big mistake first.

The people of Yecheng who came to greet them were separated by the guards, but this did not prevent them from chanting for the son.

The crowd was divided into a passageway, and Gao Cheng smiled and waved to the cheering crowd on either side.

As his gaze turned, he also saw Gao De kneeling in the passage.

Riding a black horse, he came to Gao De in a trance.

"Look up."

Hearing the immature and familiar voice, Gao De raised his head tremblingly, but did not dare to look at him.

"I'm disappointed in you."

The voice is no longer as close as it used to be, and it is slightly indifferent.

Gao De fell to the ground and cried and prayed:

"It is the servant who has failed the son, and it is all the fault of the servant, please ask the son of the world to cure the sins of the servant."

"You are at fault, but it's not all your fault, it's me who neglected supervision, and I shouldn't have left you alone in Yecheng.

"I can no longer keep you with you, and you will take the bribes you have taken and give them to the poor whom you have expelled.

"Yecheng don't stay any longer, I think you have followed me for a long time, there are merits and hard work, I have set up a shop for you in Fangtou, and you can make a living with peace of mind in the future, and you will have a reliance for the rest of your life."

Gao De heard that Gao Cheng was still planning for him, and he couldn't cry:

"The servant did such a bad thing, but he was not guilty, the servant was worried that the prince would not be able to obey the hearts of the people of Hebei, so he asked the prince to give the servant a death to warn the world."

"Whether it's dead or alive, I say it."

Gao Cheng said this, and no longer cared about Gao De, who knelt on the ground, raised his voice to the people of Yecheng around him:

"At the beginning, Cheng agreed with you to be fair, and I didn't want to leave Yecheng for only a few months, and the people's acres were taken away, but there was no way to appeal, I was ashamed of everyone."

In the midst of the sound of relief around him, Gao Cheng pulled out Hu Luguang's waist knife and cut off his scattered hair.

Holding up his severed hair, he shouted:

"Today, my Gao Zihui pleads guilty to the elders of Hebei on behalf of the head, but please believe me again!"

All the people around them bowed down.

"The son of the world is wise!"

"The prince is really waiting for us."

"May the son of the world be ten thousand years old."

A performance outside the West Gate was praised by a certain institution, and even Jiangnan had heard of it, and people praised Jiangbei Xianshizi, of course, this is a later story.

Gao Cheng returned to Yecheng Mansion and immediately ordered people to send orders to all prefectures in Hebei that an official examination would be held in Yecheng a month later.

Gao Cheng also ordered the scribes to use this month to check the discrepancies between the ownership of state-owned land in Hebei prefectures and the original distribution.

For those Haoqiang who forcibly exchanged acres, Gao Cheng did not force each other, but just asked them to return the fields and make up for the losses of the victims.

Exchanging his own thin fields for state-owned fertile land, Gao Cheng dealt with it like this, and these heroes could also accept it, and now the Gao clan is powerful, and it is no longer a small regime that seized southern Hebei in the past.

Although he spared these people this time, Gao Cheng made it clear to them that he would often send people to check the ownership of the public land, and if there was a next time, he would be severely punished.

These people also heard about Gao Cheng's sworn deeds, and no one dared to openly contradict Gao Cheng's brows.

When Gao Cheng and his staff were preparing for the official examination, Gao Yongle also often came to visit, hoping to get close to Gao Cheng.

Gao Yongle is Gao Cheng's distant cousin, and the two great-grandfathers are brothers.

After Gao Huan moved the Prime Minister's Mansion to Jinyang, Gao Yongle was also one of the henchmen who stayed in Yecheng.

Gao Cheng exchanged a few words with him, and was impatient, there were servants outside, and Gao Aocao, the Marquis of Wucheng, was invited to see him outside the mansion.

Because Gao Huan had no intention of defeating Xiurong for the time being, Gao Aocao left the army in Jinyang and returned to Hebei on leave to build a tomb for his deceased father.

Gao Aocao heard that Gao Cheng came to Hebei, so he naturally wanted to come to meet his hearty Gao Jishi.

"Changfu, General Gao is my father's favorite general, I can't slack off, I bother you to open the door for me to welcome you."

Gao Cheng explained to Gao Yongle.
