The two provinces directly under the Southwest Government have a total population of more than 5 million.

Watching boxes of household registration books carried into the lobby, Tao Yan was a little puzzled why Su Xuan wanted to read the household registration books.

Could it be that he wanted to dig out the problem from the family register?

In any state capital, there will be some problems with its household register.

If Su Xuan wanted to dig deeper into this, he and Gu Tiannan would have to be responsible.

However, what Su Xuan wanted to check was not the household register.

What he really wanted to check was the prisoner's account. That is, the list of direct offenders in the southwest.

Isn't Su Xuan unable to forcibly conscript?

And Tao Yan also adopted a voluntary conscription strategy, resulting in him not recruiting a single soldier.

Su Xuan couldn't blame Tao Yan on this.

Tao Yan will look for loopholes, and Su Xuan will also look for them.

You can't force conscription, then find prisoners!

He also took the principle of voluntariness.

If you are willing to serve in the military and go with him to suppress thieves, you can be exempted from imprisonment.

In this way, isn't there someone willing to give him a free part-time job?

When the empress ascended the throne, she granted amnesty to the world and gave those who had made mistakes a chance to mend their ways.

But there are limits to amnesty, and not all prisoners are exempt.

Imperial court convicts, felons with heinous crimes, and death row prisoners are not exempt.

And now, Su Xuan has brought them a chance.

Su Xuan found the prisoner's account and looked through it carefully.

After the amnesty, there were no prisoners who were pardoned in Nanxizhi, and there were more than 1,000 prisoners.

With so many people, it is definitely enough for Su Xuan to use.

In addition to using these prisoners, he also has Xu Ershou's Shenji Battalion in his hands.

These prisoners are centrally managed, and most of them are held there

Inside the prisons of Baizhou and Yunzhou.

Among them, more than 400 prisoners were held on death row in Hakushu.

Su Xuan stared at the prisoner's account for a long time.

At this time, Tao Yan finally came up.

"My lord, what's so nice about the prison account?" Tao Yan asked.

"There are more than 400 people on death row in Baizhou, right?" Su Xuan asked.

"That's right, the list on the prisoner's account is all Qin prisoners on death row, and there is absolutely no problem." Tao Yan replied.

"Oh......"

Su Xuan stood up.

"Let's go, take this officer to death row." Su Xuan said.

"What are you going to do on death row? It's all a bunch of death row inmates, what's so nice?" Tao Yan asked.

"Let's see."

"Yes."

Tao Yan seemed to think of Chen Ping.

Su Xuan wouldn't want to use death row prisoners to deal with bandits, right?

But those death row inmates are all felons, and they are the most difficult group of people to control.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been put on death row.

If Su Xuan planned to release the death row prisoners, wouldn't that cause turmoil?

After all, there are many people who are repeated.

Su Xuan wanted to go to death row, but Tao Yan couldn't stop him, so he could only take Su Xuan there.

The death row is under the Yamen of the Imperial Inspectorate, and it covers a large area.

But in less than 100 cells, there are more than 400 people holding them, which is also very crowded.

As soon as he walked into the underground passage, Su Xuan smelled a musty rancid smell.

Su Xuan frowned and walked forward slowly.

In the cells on both sides, there were many unkempt people, all standing still, staring at Su Xuan.

Every now and then, someone inside would let out a scream, or a strange scream.

This scene is very weird.

sue

Xuan is not afraid, standing with his hands in his hands, calm and calm.

"Tao Da

People, death row management is good. With so few jailers, there are so many people." Su Xuan asked lightly.

"These are all felons, so naturally they have to be strictly guarded. Whoever lets one out will be in danger to the common people. As magistrates, we must do our best, don't we?" Tao Yan said with a smile.

"Master Tao is very good, and his consciousness is very high. It is a blessing for the court to have a good minister like you in the southwest." Su Xuan praised with a satisfied face.

"My lord, you have won the prize, the Great Yan Dynasty has a pillar like you, and it is a blessing for us and the people of Great Yan to shelter us from the wind and rain." Tao Yan said.

The fart is good.

However, it is not very useful.

Su Xuan kept walking inside.

Soon, we got to the innermost part.

The innermost part is a cell where only one person is held.

This person was sitting cross-legged on the ground with his back to Su Xuan, his hands and feet were chained by huge chains.

His hair was dirty and blew out, making it look exactly like a lion's head.

To be locked by such a huge chain, and to be locked in a room alone, he must be a martial arts master.

"Open the door." Su Xuan said in a deep voice.

"My lord, this cell door must not be opened lightly! In case he escapes, the lower officials can't afford to take care of it!"

"Open the door, don't say it a third time."

Tao Yan saw that Su Xuan was a little angry, so he hurriedly ordered the door to be opened.

Anyway, Su Xuan is a messenger, and he wants to go in to see the death row prisoner.

If the death row inmate escapes, he is not responsible.

Since Su Xuan wants to see it, let's go see it.

The man inside is not simple!

In case he breaks free of the lock later

chain, madness killed Su Xuan, so Su Xuan died unexpectedly, and he didn't have to be responsible, right?

Anyway, it's all his own choice.

A servant stepped forward and opened the door of the cell.

"Your Excellency, please." Tao Yan made a gesture of please.

"Lord Tao, please." Su Xuan said with a smile.

"The lower official won't go in, just please, my lord."

Obviously, Tao Yan was a little scared. The people inside were very powerful, and he didn't want to risk his life by going up there.

Su Xuan walked into the cell alone.

"Jingle Bell~"

The chains on the ground moved, making a grinding sound, very sharp and piercing.

Su Xuan was about to speak.

I saw the lion's head sitting on the ground move.

He twisted his neck and made a "click" sound.

Then, suddenly, he raised his hand.

The huge iron chain pounced directly on Su Xuan.
