Duan Wende paused for a moment and said, "The minister is going to move the rescue soldiers." ”

The corners of Ji Xuan's mouth were up, and he said, "Where did Lord Duan go to move the rescue soldiers?"

Duan Wende said: "Your Highness doesn't know, the Ding'an army is stationed ten miles south of the city, and the minister found that the post house was attacked, so he quickly sent someone to move the rescue troops, but the minister was afraid that the people sent would not be able to invite the garrison, so he went in person." ”

"Can the Ding'an Army send someone to the rescue at the request of Lord Duan?"

"This ...... I want to explain the situation to them, they should send someone here, after all, the attack on His Highness is a big matter, and they dare not fail to save it. ”

"Thank you Lord Duan for your kindness, do you think you will believe what you say?" Ji Xuan's voice suddenly became stern, "There is gunpowder hidden in the post house, and there are secret tunnels dug up, do you dare to say that you don't know all this? The explosion happened for so long, the sound of fighting resounded all around, your mansion was so close to the post house, you didn't show up all the time, and the assassin just left, but you came, you have a good time, originally this king has no longer pursued what you committed before, but you want this king's life, then this king can spare you!" ”

"You may think that you are one of his, and this king will not dare to kill you, but this king is now telling you that I will not only kill you, but also compete with him for that supreme position, and if a man like him really sits on that position, it will be a misfortune for the world! If nothing else, for the hundreds of brothers of the guards who died tonight, you should die too!"

Ji Xuan's words made Duan Wende's back chill when he heard this, and after learning that he was going to die, he collapsed to the ground all of a sudden, and he no longer begged for mercy, because he knew that begging for mercy was useless.

"Someone, drag it down, keep it under strict guard, and ask and behead with that person tomorrow. ”

"Yes!" the guard officer came over with two guards and dragged Duan Wende away.

Later, Ji Xuan asked the guard officer to arrange someone to go to Hengzhou to deliver a message to Xue Chen.

Then the guards cleaned the yard again and then rested on their own.

On the second day, Ji Xuan sent someone to raid the Qingzhou Mansion and told Duan Wende's family that as long as they handed over their belongings, they could be forgiven. The people of the Duan family had long known what Duan Wende had done, so they were very cooperative.

For the cooperation of the Duan family, Ji Xuan did not break his promise, and gave the Duan family enough entanglement to let them return to their hometown.

At the same time, Ji Xuan sent people to post a notice in the city, and at three o'clock in the afternoon, he wanted to ask the household officials and the Qingzhou prefect who were ineffective in disaster relief at the entrance of the vegetable market.

The news quickly spread throughout Qingzhou City, although it was still early at three o'clock in the afternoon, but the entrance of the vegetable market was already surrounded by water on the inside and outside of the three floors.

The killing of the prefect of Honshu, as well as the officials sent by the imperial court, is shocking in itself, and the reason for beheading these two people is even more relevant to everyone - the lack of disaster relief.

At noon, Ji Xuan, accompanied by Chen Qiding Muxi, came to the entrance of the vegetable market.

According to Ji Xuan's request, only one execution table was built, and no prison table was built.

Duan Wende and Master Lu had already been escorted to the execution table by the guard officer. Both of them were tied up and knelt on the execution table.

Because the reason why the two were beheaded was related to disaster relief, the crowd was excited. Although there was a shortage of food due to the disaster, the people did not care about these at the moment, and eggs, vegetable leaves, everything that could be used to attack these two people were all used as weapons.

After these things were used up, some people also used hard objects such as stones.

The guards did not stop the people from doing so.

Duan Wende and the others were like ashes, and they didn't hide from all this, and let the people attack.

So when Ji Xuan and the three arrived, Duan Wende and the others were not only covered with vegetable leaves and broken eggs, but they were also covered in blood, which came from the wound on the head.

After Ji Xuan arrived, the surroundings gradually quieted down, and the people wanted to know what he was going to say next.

Ji Xuan looked around and said, "I am the disaster relief envoy sent by the imperial court this time, the ninth prince of the dynasty, Ji Xuan, the king of Qi, the reason why I tell you my identity is to let everyone know that the imperial court attaches great importance to this disaster relief, and I want everyone to know that the imperial court has not forgotten you." ”

"In the last disaster relief, because some officials did not care about the lives of the people, filled their own pockets, and took the opportunity to make a lot of money, the disaster relief finally failed, which made the imperial court infamy, many people were displaced, and countless people died of starvation. ”

"And this time, there are people who are vain in their images the same as last time. But they were wrong, since this king was ordered to take full responsibility for this disaster relief, he would not have let what happened last time happen. But there are still some people who are lucky and fool up and down. ”

"These two. Ji Xuan pointed to Duan Wende and the others, "One is the prefect of Qingzhou and the other is the household servant, but the two of them are embarrassed, ignoring the court's orders, and treating the lives of the people like mustard. Do you think people like this should be killed?"

"Kill! Kill......"

Everyone shouted loudly and angrily.

Ji Xuan made a gesture to signal everyone to be quiet, and then waited for the silence to continue: "In this case, the king of this book is here today to kill the two of them, in order to warn those who have evil thoughts, the court has a law, not what you want. At the same time, it also shows the world that the court cares for its people. ”

After Ji Xuan said this, he nodded to the guard officer. The guard officer understood, and then said to the two executioners, "Kill!"

After the two executioners obeyed the order, their hands rose and fell, and Duan Wende and his heads were different.

Ji Xuan said at this time: "In the future, anyone who dares to do this, deceive the king, and bend the law for bribes, will be killed." There is no trivial matter in the affairs of the people, and this king hopes that all officials can care about the people, so that they can be a good official loved by the people. ”

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness King Qi! Thank you for the Emperor's grace and mighty ......"

Someone shouted suddenly, and then everyone shouted, and knelt down and saluted.

......

Back in Qingzhou, Ji Xuan summoned other officials in Qingzhou, arranged for the person in charge, and asked them to immediately purchase grain and distribute it to the victims, and at the same time open a warehouse to release grain to ensure that no one would starve to death.

And tell these officials that if they change their minds from now on, they can be blamed for the past crimes.

These officials were terrified when they saw Duan Wende and the two killed, because they were all more or less involved in the previous incident. But at this moment, hearing Ji Xuan say this, everyone was excited, and the rest of their lives after the catastrophe made them cherish it very much. For the things that Ji Xuan explained, he was extremely attentive, and he did it immediately without slackening.

After dealing with these, the guards sent by Ji Xuan to deliver the letter to the Ding'an Army also returned.

In the handwritten letter of the commander-in-chief of the Anjun Army, Ji Xuan gave a detailed account of the attack last night, and also explained the specific intentions.

The commander of the Ding'an army had seen Ji Xuan's handwritten letter, although he didn't know who assassinated Ji Xuan, but he could probably guess who these people were instructed by, so he did not hesitate to agree to Ji Xuan to live in the barracks, and sent his deputy general with several generals to pick up Ji Xuan.

Ji Xuan was very happy about the attitude of the chief general of the Ding'an Army, and immediately took everyone to the barracks with the deputy general.
