Another official was terrified when he saw this scene.

At this moment, many officers and soldiers rushed out from inside and around the yamen, and these officers and soldiers quickly surrounded Zhou Xian and them.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Jiajun took out semi-automatic rifles one after another, opened the safety and faced these officers and soldiers.

Zhou Xian looked at all this calmly.

Kang Yuan and Qi Yuan walked out of the yamen with ugly faces.

Glancing at the servant lying on the ground, Kang Yuan said angrily: "Zhou Xian, what do you mean by this? Why did you injure my servant for no reason? ”

"Nothing interesting? This dog thing is disrespectful to me, my subordinates just teach him a lesson. Zhou Xian sneered.

"Since you dare to injure the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, are you going to rebel? I will definitely report your rebellion to the court. Kang Yuanqi said with a straight tremble.

"Then you have to have this opportunity." Zhou Xian said disdainfully.

Kang Yuan still wanted to say something, but at this time, Qi Yuan next to him spoke: "What nonsense is Lord Kang talking to him, let's arrest him directly and see if he is still arrogant at that time." ”

Then he waved his hand and said imposingly: "Arrest this group of anti-thieves." ”

The officers and soldiers were about to step forward when they received the order, when they suddenly heard a "bang", and everyone looked over.

It was Xiang Shaoyun who shot the sky with a revolver, "Dare to go to the former, die!" ”

Officers and soldiers, look at me, I see that you are a little hesitant and dare not step forward.

"They are thieves, and they will be rewarded for catching them." Qi Yuan said angrily when he saw this scene.

When all the officers and soldiers heard that there was a lot of reward, they immediately became excited, and they stepped forward with their swords.

As soon as they took a few steps forward, the soldiers of the Zhou family army opened fire, and the sound of "da-da-da" gunshots came.

More than 200 officers and men who were at the forefront were shot one after another and fell to the ground at the same time, and there was a wail.

When the officers and men in the back saw the people in front of them, they were shot and fell to the ground in a blink of an eye, bleeding profusely, and they all retreated in fright, looking at this terrifying scene, and did not dare to take another step.

Kang Yuan and Qi Yuan saw this scene, their scalps were numb, but they didn't expect this Zhou Xian to really dare to kill the officers and soldiers of the imperial court.

"Rebellion! Arrest them! Kang Yuan shouted.

After receiving the order, the officers and men plucked up the courage to rush forward, and there was another "da-da-da" gunshot, and more than 200 officers and men were shot and fell to the ground screaming.

Seeing this scene, the officers and soldiers behind directly collapsed and ran out in all directions.

When Kang Yuan and Qi Yuan saw this scene, they immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

"Zhou Xian, you have killed so many officers and soldiers, do you really want to rebel?" Kang Yuan said with anger trembling in his body.

"Whether I rebel or not, it's not up to you as a prefect to have the final say." Zhou Xian looked at Kang Yuan and said disdainfully.

Qi Yuan was much smarter, he saw that this Zhou Xian was a ruthless person, and hurriedly said: "Zhou Qianhu, this is a misunderstanding, you have a lot of spare me." ”

Zhou Xian didn't answer Qi Yuan, but just said to Xiang Shaoyun: "Arrest them all, those who dare to resist, kill!" ”

"Zhou Qianhu, I was wronged, I was just deceived by Kang Yuan, give me 10,000 guts, I don't dare Zhou Qianhu to do it." Qi Yuan hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy.

"You useless guy, two thousand officers and soldiers can't deal with just a few hundred people, and now you are still begging for mercy here, it's really a shame for our court officials." Kang Yuan said angrily when he heard Qi Yuan's words.

"It's all because you hurt me, and you're still talking cool here." Qi Yuan also said angrily to Kang Yuan.

Zhou Xian didn't care about the bickering between them, and directly asked Xiang Shaoyun to arrest them.

Zhou Xian then ordered to arrest all the officers and soldiers who had fled just now, as well as the people in the prefect's yamen.

Half a day later, Zhou Xian sat on the main seat where Kang Yuan had sat in the yamen, drinking tea and thinking about something.

At this time, Xiang Shaoyun walked in, "President, everyone has been arrested." ”

"Have the bodies been cleaned up on the streets?" Zhou Xian came back to his senses and asked.

"The bodies have been moved outside the city and burned and buried."

"Okay, Shaoyun, you are getting more and more experienced in doing things now." Zhou Xian praised.

"Thank you, President, for the compliment!"

Zhou Xian picked up a letter from the table and handed it to Xiang Shaoyun and said, "You have people send this letter to Gonggong Li of the Xingjing Hotel, and let him hand it over to the emperor." ”

Xiang Shaoyun took the letter and immediately walked outside the yamen.

Zhou Xian wrote about today's events in a letter to the emperor, of course, Zhou Xian would not say that this was all his own calculation, but said that Kang Yuan, the prefect of Shanxi Mansion, and Qi Yuan, the garrison, were dissatisfied with Zhou Xian's being a thousand households in Shanxi Mansion, so they sent troops to attack him, and as a result, hundreds of people were killed by his own Zhou army.

As for whether Chongzhen believes it or not, Zhou Xian doesn't care, Chongzhen won't turn his face with himself for this matter, this letter is just to give Chongzhen a step down.

As for the prefect and his cronies, as well as the garrison and his officers and soldiers, Zhou Xian did not kill them, and asked the soldiers to take them to Xingjing to dig coal and build roads to work as coolies.

After handling the affairs of the prefect, Zhou Xian made the first policy in Shanxi Mansion.

That is, all the people in Shanxi Prefecture do not have to pay taxes for three years, the tax of merchants is halved, merchants are encouraged to open shops in Xingjing, and all merchants who open shops in Xingjing are exempt from tax for three years.

When this decree was read out to every county by the soldiers and officials of the Zhou family, the people cheered.

Now every year of natural disasters, the grain harvest has been bad, it was not enough for their own food, but they still have to pay taxes, which is even worse, now it is good, there is no need to pay taxes for three years.

Many people cried excitedly and thanked Zhou Xian for promulgating the policy.

When many merchants heard that they were going to Xingjing to open a shop for duty-free three, they were very moved and made plans to go to Xingjing.

Zhou Xian stayed in Shanxi Fucheng for three days and then returned to Xingjing, he asked a battalion commander named Li Hengtai to lead a battalion to live in Yamen, and deal with things here instead of himself, if there was something that could not be handled, he would go to Xingjing to find Zhou Xian.

Since the officers of the Zhou family army all need to learn culture, this Li Hengtai is also a cultural person, and it should be more than enough to deal with the affairs here.

What Zhou Xian didn't expect was that this prefect was still a corrupt official, and there were still more than 300,000 taels of silver hidden in the mansion.

Zhou Xian unceremoniously accepted the silver, gave Li Hengtai tens of thousands of taels of silver for expenses, and brought the rest back to Xingjing.

As soon as Zhou Xian returned to Xingjing Mansion, before he could say a few words to Teng Ting'er, many people came to the door.

Those who came to find Zhou Xian were Zhou Fugui and his four disciples.

Zhou Xian came to the main hall and sat down with everyone and said, "Come to me in such a hurry, is there anything wrong?" ”

"President, didn't you say last time that you were going to take the civil service exam in March this year, it's almost March, what do you think about the exam?" Zhou Fugui stood up first and said.

"I almost forgot about it, I will write the content and questions of the exam tonight, and I will hand it over to you tomorrow." Zhou Xian patted his head and said.

Zhou Fugui agreed and sat down.

"Master, I'm here to tell Master the good news, our paper mill is now able to produce paper in large quantities." At this time, Xu Shouyi said excitedly.
