The world's first county magistrate

Chapter 209

After Song Wei came to the execution ground, he realized that there were many more people here today than he had imagined.

Isn't that nonsense, the people who came today are not only people from Zhen'an County, but people from other counties also came to watch.

After all, such things are still rare.

Moreover, there were already many people gathered in the execution ground, and Song Wei let Wu Zhenkun parade the crowd in a circle. As you can imagine, there were even more people gathered.

Song Wei walked up to the high platform slowly, and he looked at the people under the high platform with expressionless faces.

Because of an experience, Song Wei had already adjusted his mentality when he came to the execution ground.

Song Wei raised his hand and pressed it falsely, calming down the chattering people below the high platform, waiting obediently for him to speak.

"Dear people, I am the county magistrate of Zhen'an County. Today, a major event will happen, and you should all know about it."

"That means Wu Zhenkun will be beheaded for public display."

Song Wei looked at the people and said silently.

"Everyone should know what happened a few days ago. Wu Zhenkun instigated the Red Fox people to burn the grain fields, and took advantage of the autumn harvest to buy all the grain in Zhen'an County, including several nearby counties, at high prices. Raise the price of food and recklessly harvest everyone's money."

"Even if everyone will starve to death, Wu Zhenkun still dares to do this. He only cares about his own income and doesn't care about everyone's life or death at all."

Speaking of this, Song Wei looked at the people below who showed hatred in their eyes, and knew that the atmosphere he wanted had been achieved.

"These things are far more than his crimes. Decades ago, Zhen'an County inexplicably used children and women. These were all done by Wu Zhenkun. After so many years, Wu Zhenkun has sold many people and earned a lot of money. How much silver."

"But it's against the law to make money in this way, but fortunately, the officer found some of the people he was imprisoned and rescued them all. Now they are the people of Zhen'an County and start to live in Zhen'an County."

"Again, this official is still the same. Everyone should show the enthusiasm of Zhen'an County and tolerate them, no matter where they are from at first, but they are now the people of Zhen'an County."

"Moreover, I have also discovered a large amount of money in the Wu Mansion. Now all the money has been confiscated. I will use the money to improve Zhen'an County and build a saint's ancestral hall."

As soon as Song Wei's words fell, many people cheered excitedly.

"Your Excellency is really Master Qingtian!"

"We like such a county magistrate."

"My lord! We can all see the changes in Zhen'an County. Your lord is the best lord in the world!"

……

Song Wei looked at the excited people and knew that it was time to have dinner. After waving his hands to calm everyone down, he said in a low voice, "To be precise, it is this officer who has been blocking Wu Zhenkun's plan, so Wu Zhenkun did these things with some sense of humor. Revenge mentality, because he has regarded this official as an enemy, so you have suffered losses in some things."

"So I decided that as long as there are county government stores in the big market, each store will have a three-day discount event for a limited time. You should inquire about the specific discount activities yourself, because there are too many items, and I will list them here one by one. listed."

There were bursts of exclamations in the crowd. To be honest, they did not suffer much damage at all. That is, when the fire burned the grain fields, some people's fields were burned, but Song Wei had already compensated them.

Besides, a few days ago, Song Wei distributed some of the food the Wu Mansion found to each household, it was just a question of how much.

But the common people are already satisfied, and now Song Wei wants to offer discounts in the big market. The things in the big market are all good things. Some of the things he likes are not willing to buy because of the price. Now that they are discounted, he must ask.

"What? Big market discount?"

"Damn it, your lord is giving us benefits!"

"Your Excellency is really Master Qingtian!"

"My lord! Wu Zhenkun wants to fight against my lord, and I ask my lord to behead Wu Zhenkun!"

I don't know who yelled from the bottom, and the other common people followed suit.

"Yes! Behead Wu Zhenkun!"

"Behead Wu Zhenkun!!!"

The common people shouted in unison, and Cai Hu at the side gestured to the servants, and Wu Zhenkun was immediately led to the gallows.

Song Wei knew that the emotions of the people had reached the highest point, which meant that now was the perfect time to behead Wu Zhenkun.

Wu Zhenkun knelt down with a calm face.

After seeing Wu Zhenkun, the common people down there cursed again.

But Wu Zhenkun didn't care at all.

Song Wei came to a table with a bunch of tokens on it.

He turned his head and looked at Wu Zhenkun's back. The executioner had already stepped onto the stage and came to Wu Zhenkun's side.

Even took a swig of wine and sprayed it on the knife.

It's just that the executioner was a little puzzled, why today's wine tasted better than the ones he drank elsewhere.

And the stamina is a bit big.

Now everyone's eyes were on the high platform, waiting without blinking for the moment when Wu Zhenkun was beheaded.

Song Wei slowly picked up the token, turned around and wanted to throw it out.

"Leave people under the knife!!!"

Before Song Wei could make a move, he heard a voice from afar.

Everyone was attracted by this voice, and they all turned their heads to see that a group of people in official uniforms were rushing towards the execution ground.

At this time, Cai Hu and Li Yang hurried to Song Wei's side to avoid accidents.

No one thought of this scene, is this a robbery?

And Wu Zhenkun raised his head slowly, and a smile finally appeared on his calm face when he saw the person coming.

It's okay, it's just right.

Wu Zhenkun breathed a sigh of relief.

Despite the calm look on Wu Zhenkun's face, he was actually quite flustered in his heart.

He was undoubtedly taking his own life as a gamble.

After all these days, it now seemed clear that he had won.

Ah Feng did not die, but escaped.

And he also found that person according to what he said. Although the person who came was not that person, Wu Zhenkun also knew him. He was a senior member of Tianguang County, and he had met a few times in the past.

Wu Zhenkun was also relieved, because he knew that it was not easy for that person to come forward, so he let someone else come.

That's right, after Ah Feng told Master Zhuo about the matter, Master Zhuo sent people to Zhen'an County to investigate Wu Zhenkun's news.

As a result, the man had just arrived in Zhen'an County when he heard that Wu Zhenkun was going to be beheaded for public display, so he hurried back without thinking much.

Master Zhuo was even more surprised when he heard it, and quickly sent people to Zhen'an County to snatch him.

The people he sent didn't know what happened, they just knew they wanted to save someone.

So they didn't take this matter to heart at all.

They are big officials in Tianguang County, how can they be compared with a small county magistrate?

But they rushed to Zhen'an County under the pressure of Master Zhuo.

They had just arrived in Zhen'an County, and they were also shocked by the sights in Zhen'an County.

But then they felt that they could not understand many places, and felt that the county magistrate of Zhen'an County was just a trick, and in the end he would not be able to stand on the stage.

Then they inquired about Wu Zhenkun, and found out that Wu Zhenkun was about to be beheaded in public, so they hurried over.

But fortunately, they didn't come late, otherwise they wouldn't be able to explain.
