Compared with the powerful meat eaters in Di'an City, the officials in the county government can enjoy life more in a sense.

At least, they don't need to get up early in the middle of the night to prepare for the morning pilgrimage.

The shadow of the hands of the sundial set up outside the yaya has already come to the time of the sun rising in the east, and the whole palace is still very quiet, only those servants who get up early and a few clerks on duty creep around.

However, the silence of the government office today is a little more strange than in the past.

The guards on duty, the subordinates who cleaned up the fallen leaves, and even the masters who helped the county order deal with government affairs, all glanced at the deepest part of the government from time to time in this silence.

In this silence,

Another boy in a noble robe walked slowly into the county office.

The catcher on duty at the county gate subconsciously wanted to stop it, because he didn't know the other party, he should stop it out of duty, but after looking at the obviously valuable outfit on the other party, he still silently let him go.

Those of them who got up early had all seen the shocking scene just now.

Nearly all the officials, wealthy gentry, and business owners in the huge Huizhou County rushed to the deepest part of the county government in less than a quarter of an hour.

They didn't know why these big men had gathered at the mansion early this morning, but they knew that these things were not something for lowly people like them to discuss.

Entering the mansion unhindered, Xu Yuan looked at the layout with great interest.

From his point of view, the facilities and buildings here are decent, but as a county-level yamen and a center for handling government affairs, it is still too magnificently renovated.

There are high-walled compounds, pavilions, piano rooms, and study galleries, entertainment and living areas.

Even, Xu Yuan saw a small artificial lake after walking through a few courtyards.

The rockery is lifelike, the koi fish are flocking, and the middle of the lake is still a pavilion in the middle of the lake.

After stopping to enjoy the scenery for a while, Xu Yuan suddenly caught a glimpse of several maids passing by the lake surrounded by a woman.

has never worn makeup and hair, her posture is enchanting, youthful and beautiful, and the plump chest is shaking between walking.

I think I just woke up, and I haven't even worn a belly pocket.

And the woman seemed to be aware of Xu Yuan's gaze, and looked back with unkind eyes, as if she wanted to see which thing that was not long-eyed and dared to be so presumptuous.

But after looking at each other for a moment and seeing the man's appearance clearly, the unkindness in the woman's eyes gradually turned into a touch of shyness, tightened her clothes, blinked charmingly, and ran away blushing quickly.

Looking at the back of the other party's departure, the corners of Xu Yuan's lips were slightly hooked, and he glanced at the handsome boy reflected in the lake, and shook his head gently.

The other party thought that it should be the family of the county order here, after all, the Dayan Mansion is also the living place of the county order.

The beauty of the mansion is in power.

This county order is quite enjoyable.

Xu Yuan exhaled lightly and muttered with a smile:

"Three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver. This county order should be a clean official, hehe. ”

The words fell silently, the exercises worked, and Xu Yuan's figure disappeared in place.

When he reappeared, he had already arrived on the courtyard wall of the deepest part of the county government here.

Looking down, Xu Yuan's eyes picked.

It's quite lively.

The courtyard of the mansion is still very quiet, a tall ginkgo tree sits in it, the stone road is neatly repaired all the way in, and the golden leaves of the autumn sun cover the brick and stone floor, but at this moment the entire mansion is already kneeling with people.

There were officials in official uniforms, and there were gentry in expensive silks.

Each of them was a big man who could tremble the city by stomping his feet, but at the moment they were all on their knees like quails.

He couldn't kneel down in the church, so he knelt in the courtyard.

If there is no one inside to speak, then continue to kneel.

In silence, Xu Yuan slowly fell from the courtyard wall.

Immediately, he saw two corpses in the corner, one seemed to be a county lieutenant in his official uniform, and the other seemed to be a person from the City Defense Division.

Next to it, there were seven or eight men in head-hunting uniforms.

They were piled up in a corner like wild dogs.

Yes, it's the feeling of the old lady handling things.

Da.

Da.

Da.

The sound of the boots stepping on the stone floor was soft, but it seemed to step on the heart of the dignitary, but no one dared to raise their heads.

They didn't really know what was going on, only that the county magistrate sent his men to wake them up from their sleep before the weather was clear today.

It is said that a big man in the court is coming.

At first, they just thought that some inspector had come to fight Qiu Feng and go through the motions, but as soon as they arrived, they found that they were dead.

Lieutenant Cao died.

The third-in-command of Huizhou County, the eight-rank official who was personally canonized by the imperial court, was directly cut without reporting?

What a rebellion!

The director of the City Defense Division, who controlled the city defense formation, mobilized the city defense formation, and at the same time made a statement, saying that this was not in accordance with the law and that he would go to the prefect.

And then

The director of the Department of Urban Defense also died.

Under the protection of the city defense formation, his head was still cut off with one move.

And then,

There was no one to speak.

The person who came was at least a great grandmaster, even if he was not convinced in front of a figure of this level, he had to hold back now, and whoever dared to speak again would have to die.

The sound of footsteps came from near and far, and when he walked into the mansion, a warm young man's voice quietly came out:

"Sister, how is the investigation going here?"

Xu Yuan looked at the enchanting woman who glanced over the officials kneeling on both sides and fell on the main seat:

"How many of these people are clean?"

The voice echoed in the empty hall,

Lou Ji leaned lazily on the soft seat behind her, her two slender jade legs intertwined and straight on the desk, looking at the stack of copywriting in her hand, hearing Xu Yuan's question, her eyes raised slightly, and she smiled casually:

"Clean? It depends on what you mean by "clean" in your mouth, if according to the law of Great Fire, if there is one person here, it is a capital crime. ”

As soon as the casual voice came out,

The officials in the hall suddenly reacted slightly, but the aftermath of this woman's random killing made them dare not speak.

Xu Yuan's eyes swept once again at the officials who were eating vegetarian meals on these corpses, and walked into the desk in the hall:

"How?"

Lou Ji handed the Chinese case to Xu Yuan, and said with a strange smile:

"There are too many people who collude with officials and businessmen to destroy people, buy murderers, forcibly capture children and sell them, connive at martial artists to commit murders on the streets, and release prisoners privately, see for yourself."

Xu Yuan took this copy, glanced at it roughly, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help jumping.

Why are there so many talents in this small county?

Fuck, all the crimes on this are almost enough to write an encyclopedia of the Great Flame Law.

Throwing these things on the ground casually, Xu Yuan didn't want to say anything more, after all, he still had to deal with the impending assassination.

His voice was soft:

"Give them a chance to explain, and if they can't explain why, then kill them all."

"Okay."

"You're a rebellion!"

The conversation between the two was not hidden, and the buzzing discussion suddenly exploded.

A middle-aged man in an embroidered official uniform stood up suddenly, looked at the pair of men and women in the hall, and shouted angrily: "Although you have a Qincha token, but Liu is a pro-canonization of the seven-rank official by the imperial court, and he has done his best for Huizhou County, how can you convict me on these trumped-up charges!" ”

Lou Ji didn't say anything when she heard this, and glanced at Xu Yuan on the side with a smile.

She didn't care about the officials and gentry in this county, when Li Yaoxuan ascended the throne to rectify the rule of officials, the officials who were raided were counted according to the state capital.

According to the law of Great Fire, these people kneeling under the law of Great Fire must die, but according to her concept, there are actually usable talents among these people, and they will not be killed.

However, if the world decides for a long time, then it can only be used by borrowing their heads.

Xu Yuan looked at the handsome middle-aged man, a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, he chuckled twice and asked:

"You said you did your best?"

"Naturally!"

The middle-aged man stood on top of the court, spitting out sonorous words, clasping his hands into fists, and arching to the sky: "Liu Mou first came here and there are many demons, bandits are everywhere, he has been poor and weak for decades, Liu has been an official here for more than ten years, and he is already rich and safe!" ”

Xu Yuan sighed and said with a smile:

"Don't worry, Liu County, compared to when you took over, you have indeed done some practical things in the past ten years, and your ability is also outstanding."

"That's nature."

The middle-aged man frowned, staring at the unknown noble son in the hall: "Under Liu's rule, Huizhou County's annual tax and silver share is overpaid, and the bandits and demons take the lead in fundraising regularly every year, recruiting righteous people to pay off, and it is too peaceful in Huizhou Shuli!"

"After more than ten years of turmoil in the north, this official even took the initiative to gather many gentry to raise more than 300,000 taels of silver for military expenses for the dispatch of the state capital!"

“.”

Hearing the end, Xu Yuan almost didn't laugh out loud:

"Fundraising? According to the rules of the fundraising industry, all the gentry are returned, and the people are divided into three or seven, Liu County Order, my son is very curious about who this seventy percent is, is it your county order, or these gentry? ”

The middle-aged man frowned, subconsciously feeling that the other party did not understand what he meant.

Xu Yuanruo touched his chin thoughtfully:

"Don't you speak, it seems that seventy percent of it is the state capital? Tsk, a county has been greedy for so much silver for more than ten years"

"Please be cautious about this gentleman."

The middle-aged man was a little puzzled in his heart, frowned and whispered:

"The villain is humble and light-hearted, and Lord Xu is not so easy to speak."

"What if he can't speak?"

Xu Yuan shook his head with a smile, leaned on the desk behind him, glanced condescendingly at the middle-aged man below, and laughed slowly: "If the Lord Xu in your mouth is here, if you can't give a satisfactory explanation, this son will kill him together." ”

“.”

With casual words, a trace of wavering flashed in Liu Xianling's eyes, and he was completely unable to determine the depth of the two people in front of him.

Xu Yuan smiled and waved his hand:

"Don't fiddle with your connections and superiors in officialdom with me, these things are useless to me, if there is no other explanation, go outside honestly and wait for death."

Liu Xianling pursed his lips, and his throat rolled up and down:

"Liu Liu's achievements in power are obvious to all in the county, building water conservancy, cultivating fertile land, and introducing the Chamber of Commerce."

"As I said, you have indeed done some practical things, and your ability is indeed outstanding."

Xu Yuan's eyes were already a little impatient, and he paused word by word:

"But aren't these things you are talking about what you should do as an official of the imperial court, Liu County Order?"

“.” Liu Xianling's face turned pale.

Xu Yuan stood up from the desk:

"To tell the truth, I don't exclude you officials who are greedy for money, nor do I exclude you from enjoying these graceful material things again, after all, you are also human beings, and you will also have desires, and if you are not greedy, there will be others who will force you to be greedy.

"However,

"Everything has to be in moderation, doesn't it?

"The explanation that this son wants is why you have the right to disregard human life, you have the right to condone the murder of the soldiers, and why you can make the people under your rule afraid of officials and power like tigers!"

“.”

The words fell, and there was silence in the lobby.

Xu Yuan sighed:

"Looks like you can't explain it."

While speaking, Xu Yuan turned around and walked directly towards the back of the hall.

Lou Ji also slowly stood up from the seat and followed behind Xu Yuan with a smile.

"According to the law of Great Flame, even if this official is guilty, the law should sentence me, you have no king's law!"

Liu Xianling seemed to realize something, and hurriedly shouted at the backs of the two.

However, as if they hadn't heard, the two of them laughed and entered the lobby.

And the last voice Liu County Ling heard,

It seems to be:

"Sister, dead people can still talk"

Words fall,

Liu Xianling spun and looked back suddenly,

The heads of more than 100 gentry in the huge county hall fell to the ground at the same time, and the red blood covered the golden ginkgo leaves in the courtyard like a stream.
