When the thick-eyed and big-eyed general on the side saw this posture, he hurriedly waved his hand, and the archers who were aiming at the inn instantly put down their bows and arrows, and stood still on one side. And Xiangzhou Tongju He Daluo, Master, Tangyin County Commander Ouyang Wude, County Lieutenant and others stared intently at the things in Xiao Liuzi's hand. Xiao Liuzi saw that everyone was not moving, so he thrust the dust into his waist, and then slowly lifted the layers of silk with both hands, and finally took out a gold medal with a golden light and a big word written on it, and then held the gold medal high and shouted: Don't you kneel down?

Everyone was stunned by this sudden situation, and after Xiao Liuzi reminded him, he suddenly realized that when he saw the royal gold medal, it was like the emperor coming in person. Then they all knelt down, and immediately shouted: Long live the emperor, long live, long live. At the same time, the guards also fell to their knees, shouting slogans. Now the most embarrassing thing is the innkeeper standing in the compound, Xiao Er, Liu Laohan and others, what is the situation, what should I do, I just thought that I was more auspicious today, where did I know that the situation changed so quickly, suddenly so many people knelt down, and under the pull of the guards around them, everyone also knelt down in a hurry.

At this moment, a fast horse galloped from a distance, and when it arrived not far from Ouyang Wude, the county commander of Tangyin County, he immediately called to stop, and then quickly dismounted, and when he reached the kneeling county commander, he leaned over and whispered a few words, and the county magistrate nodded hurriedly with a red face. Then the man saluted, and ran away again. At this time, the county commander Ouyang Wude turned his head to the kneeling general judge He Daluo and whispered: There is a team of imperial forest troops from outside the city, and they are about to enter the city. After listening to the sentence, He Daluo didn't say anything, just knelt his head lower.

I saw that the scene was under control, so I said to the kneeling people: As an official of the imperial court, you should take care of the people for the imperial court, so as to live up to the trust of the imperial court, and be worthy of the official uniform on your body, but in order to fill your own pockets, you actually colluded up and down, deceived the superiors and subordinates, and took the imperial court's policy of benefiting the people as the reason for their greed, and such a magnificent title is really hateful. When the kneeling guards behind him heard this, they quickly got up and rushed up, took the hats of the officials, and looked at them.

Seeing that the officials had been subdued, I asked someone to remove the food bag in front of the inn compound, and walked over with Xiao Liuzi, and said around the kneeling officials: Get up, this is not the place to talk, go to the county office! Only then did everyone get up in fear, and then bowed their heads to me and bowed their hands and said: "Your subordinates obey orders!" Just when everyone was preparing to go to the county office, they only heard the rhythmic sound of horses' hooves from far and near, and then accompanied by a vigorous voice: The palace is waiting for the royal forest army here, so don't act rashly.

When I heard that this king was very strong, he was smart, and he came before he heard the sound. It seems that he is really in a hurry, so he shouts while riding like this. When the fast horse arrived in front of us, and when he saw that we were fine, he hurriedly dismounted and hurriedly came to me with Wang Erzhuo and knelt down and said: The subordinate guards are late, please punish them! I smiled and said, "It's good to come, it's not too late, it's just right, get up." Come with me to the county office. Wang Dazhuang immediately got up, came to the thick-eyed and big-eyed general and said: Don't gather the team you are waiting for to escort the guards. The thick-eyed and big-eyed general was still immersed in the panic just now, but now he came to his senses after Wang Dazhuang's reprimand, and then saluted: Obey! Then, with a wave of his hand, the teams that had just dispersed immediately gathered into a queue.

If many officials were still a little suspicious of the royal gold medal just now, but at this time, with the arrival of the Imperial Forest Army, they were completely convinced. Then he was glad that he didn't do it, otherwise the whole family would really have to play with calves, and at this time, Ouyang Wude, the county magistrate of Tangyin County, was trembling all over, and it was estimated that it was too cold. People also feel that they can't stand on their feet, if they are in normal times, the county lieutenant around him will immediately support him, but now the situation is different, the county order is finished, and he has become a loner, so no one approaches him at this time, because this is the reality, although it is very cruel but it is so real, this is the instinct of human nature.

Then the officials of the county government were in front, the Imperial Forest Army followed, we advanced in the center, and the rear was the box army that was behind. As we went to the county office, Yuan Minfeng of the East Evil and Wang Zhiqing of the West Poison stayed behind to clean up the compound that had been changed beyond recognition with the innkeeper and others. After we arrived at the county government hall, I sat in the hall under the escort of the four King Kongs, and below were Xiao Lizi and Wang Steward, according to the custom, the Imperial Forest Army guarded the entrance of the hall, and the Xiang Army was on guard at the gate of the county government, and then many officials stood on the lobby. Looking at the many officials in the hall who did not have official hats, I felt that I was not very comfortable all of a sudden, and my heart was also angry, so I said to the people in the hall: first release the people who were arrested just now, and by the way, bring the young man in cloth to the main hall. The county lieutenant preemptively went out and saluted: The subordinate obeys the order! trotted away, at this time the county order was galloping with 100,000 horses in his heart, and Lao Tzu was still there, was it seriously neglected? I was so good at slapping my ass before, but now I see that I am in trouble, I directly choose to ignore it, this face hurts, but there is no way, now the situation is stronger than people, so I have to hold back the grievances deeply.

Seeing that the county lieutenant was far away, I continued: I can't imagine that the small Tangyin County has seen what it means that the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, and the dignified second-in-command of Xiangzhou actually ignored the decrees of the imperial court in order to collect money, and colluded with the local county to raise the loan interest rate of the financial sector privately, and it was also greatly increased, and what is even more hateful is that when the matter was revealed, he dared to mobilize the government and officials to violently suppress it, and indiscriminately sent many innocent people to prison. Could it be that Zheng Guocang, the governor of Xiangzhou, eats dry rice? He repeatedly allowed his subordinates to behave in the local area.

At this time, Cao Dazhong, the commander of the Xiangzhou Soldiers and Horses, stood up and reported: The lower officials received a report from the state government that a large-scale mass incident had occurred in the county seat of Tangyin County, and many people had gathered to the county government to make trouble, and they also carried many weapons to violently confront the officers and soldiers, so they sent troops in the name of quelling the chaos. When Xia Guan arrived here, he saw that this was not the case, the streets were full of ordinary people, although they were captured, but they also felt that they did not look like mobs, so Xia Guan also hesitated again and again, and finally was forced to follow you in desperation.

I believed that this Cao Dazhong was telling the truth, so he said to the county magistrate of Tangyin County: Ouyang Wude, how did you report it. Ouyang Wude hurriedly knelt down and said: Qiqi is on the errand, the lower official is guilty, the lower official is guilty, please spare your life. I said, I said, I said it all. Due to the wealth of the lower officials, in order to satisfy their own selfish desires, but also in order to show their political achievements in front of the officials, after discussing with the master, they will be able to reach the pawn (industrial and commercial money village) and Chang Ping (agricultural money village) loan interest rate increased, and then the lower officials reported the matter to Xiangzhou Tong judge He Daluo, and after getting the approval of Lord He, he posted a notice to let the people take out loans. Later, the lower officials got a report in the county office, and a large number of people gathered at the notice outside the city, so they wanted to mobilize the government to disperse, but then they had to report, and the upper mission led many people to come to the county office, because of the large number of people, the lower officials were afraid that the matter would make a big fuss and provoke a civil uprising, so they lied that there were mobs in Tangyin County to make trouble, and asked the state government to support.

Seeing that the county order was recruited, he went to Xiangzhou to judge He Daluo and said: Lord He, what do you have to say! He Daluo was also disheartened at the moment, and when he saw me asking, he shook his head and said: Xia Guan has nothing to say. I saw that he still had some backbone, at least he could admit what he had done, so he said: Okay, I respect you as a man, dare to do it. Since the facts of this matter are clear, there is no need for too much questioning. Come on, go to the state capital quickly to summon Zheng Guocang, the governor of Xiangzhou, to this place, and I have something to ask. Steward Wang immediately turned around and replied: Qi Yu is on a bad day, or the old slave took someone to find Zheng Guocang in Zhizhou, how about it?

I feel that it is okay after all, Steward Wang is experienced in handling affairs, so he nodded in agreement, and then continued: Take the Xiangzhou Tong sentence He Daluo down, send it to the Dali Temple in Beijing for strict interrogation, and put Ouyang Wude, Master and others in Tangyin County, and send them to the state government tomorrow to let the prison affairs be handled strictly, and because there is no big mistake in the jurisdiction of Cao Dazhong in Xiangzhou, it has not caused serious consequences, so he is exempt from punishment, but in view of his failure to adhere to his duties and principles, he will be specially punished for half a year to show punishment. As for the abusive officials of the county government, they will be disbanded on the spot and re-selected and hired after the new county magistrate takes office.

For Xiangzhou Tongju He Daluo sighed and shook his head, the county commander Ouyang Wude begged for mercy like a ghost crying wolf, but the guards didn't care about this, and directly escorted them down. Cao Dazhong, the commander of the Xiangzhou soldiers and horses, immediately knelt on the ground and thanked him: Thank you for the kindness of the officials, and the officials will do their duties in the future, and distinguish between right and wrong. I asked with interest: I don't know what you think of the defense of Xiangzhou.

Seeing that I asked a professional question, Cao Dazhong immediately arched his hand and said: The strategic location of Xiangzhou is very important, it is bordered by the Anli Army and the Yellow River Ferry in the south, and it is an important town in front of the Beijing Division, and it is bordered by Delong Mansion, Zezhou and Weizhou in the west, Daimyofu in the east, and Cizhou in the north, which is an important rear of the northern front line and an important city to block the Jin army from going south, so the lower officials believe that Xiangzhou is the place of the four wars, and the imperial court can strengthen its combat readiness level and prevent it from happening. In particular, the lack of a forbidden army with strong combat effectiveness will seriously affect the defense of the state and the construction and construction of the overall defense system.
