Tang Dynasty: The seventh rank of official residence, and you will be given the Ten Thousand People

There is no airtight wall in the world. When the bloody heads were hung on the flagpole, the people were stunned.

"Oh my God, isn't this County Captain Chen? He had a free meal at the old man's shop yesterday. Why did he die today?"

"Not only Chen County Lieutenant, but also Capt. Zhao, Li San and other government servants were also hanged."

"I never thought that these guys who eat people without spitting out their bones would end up like this. They really deserve it!" someone said viciously.

These officials often bullied men and women, taking advantage of them and taking advantage of them, making the people angry and afraid to speak out.

Later, I couldn't stand it anymore and jointly filed a petition to the governor's office. As a result, the officials did not do anything. Instead, they were imprisoned for gathering a crowd to cause trouble.

In the end, each person paid 500 yuan as confession money before being released.

From then on, the people were completely disappointed with the government, and they could only pinch their noses and accept bad luck when encountering injustice.

Even though the newly arrived Magistrate Fan set up a so-called "County Magistrate Reception Day" to invite everyone to state their grievances, they did not dare to show their faces.

No one knows if this is a trap set by the government for everyone.

However, what they didn't expect was that in just a few days, the heads of the government servants from Yurou Township would be hanged on the flagpole due to their corruption and perversion of the law.

Both the means and speed far exceeded their imagination.

"Magistrate Fan is so courageous, killing so many corrupt officials in one go!"

"Yes, we have a good official in Wushui County."

While the onlookers were talking about the heads, the gate of the county government office slowly opened, and two jailers walked out first, followed closely by Fan Xin, who was wearing a dark green official uniform.

"Look, Magistrate Fan is out!" someone exclaimed.

With the people watching, Fan Xin walked to the steps and said to everyone.

"Fellow folks, I am Fan Xin, the magistrate of Wushui County. I believe you have heard of my name."

"I used to set up a reception day for county magistrates, but you didn't dare to come because of the intimidation from Zhang Song and others. Now these corrupt officials are hanging on the flagpole."

"If you have any grievances, you can go directly to Zhou Dian to register."

"After I find out one by one, I will fully refund the losses you have suffered!"

quiet!

It was deathly quiet in front of the huge county government office. All the people looked at Fan Xin blankly, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

They never dreamed that the money robbed by the government would be returned one day. How is this possible?

After a long time, a white-haired old man asked cautiously.

"Sir, do you really want to return the money that the government has robbed to us?"

Fan Xin smiled and nodded: "Old man, you heard it right, how much money the government takes from you will be paid back to you."

"What about the second daughter of the Li family who was harmed by Zhang Song?"

"Kill for life, no one can escape!"

After receiving a positive answer, the white-haired old man took a deep look at Fan Xin and said in a trembling voice.

"Okay, I will believe you once, old man." After saying that, he turned around and said to the people: "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and tell the old man the injustice you have suffered over the years!"

"Yes, Mr. Wu!" the people responded loudly and crowded towards the gate of the county government office.

Looking at the lively scene in front of him, the white-haired old man said with a smile.

"Magistrate Fan, just now everyone said that you are a good official. I still didn't believe it, but this time I am convinced."

"Throughout the ages, there are only a few people like you who have made the decision to redress the grievances of the people."

Facing Mr. Wu's compliment, Fan Xin just smiled.

The reason why he did this was because he didn't know whether he could hold Wushui County.

Instead of giving Li Chong an advantage by conquering the city, it is better to return the things stolen by corrupt officials to these people, so that they can have something to eat for the rest of their lives.

Seeing that it was almost time, Fan Xin bowed his hands towards the white-haired old man.

"Mr. Wu, I have a favor to ask of you, please agree to it."

The white-haired old man waved his hands repeatedly: "The old man is serious. If you have anything to say, just say it. I will listen."

"That's it. I want to move the people in this county to Qusong County on the other side of the Jindi River and let them come back after a while. I hope you can help persuade the people."

Since ancient times, no one is willing to leave their hometown unless they can no longer survive. He hopes that with the prestige of Mr. Wu, he can successfully accomplish this.

The white-haired old man's expression changed and he said solemnly: "Sir, is there going to be a war in Wushui County?"

Seeing Fan Xin nodding silently, he hit the ground hard with the cane in his hand.

"Don't worry, I will go find some village leaders and ask them to arrange for the villagers to go to Qusong County." After saying that, he turned around and left.

Watching the white-haired old man leave, Fan Xin let out a long breath, recruited troops to prepare for war, and did all he had to do to move the people away. Next, he waited for Li Chong to lead the army to attack the city.

After thinking this, Fan Xin ordered people to bring Master Sun's entourage closer, pointed to the head on the flagpole and said.

"I will give you a chance to survive. Send these heads to Prince Langya's Mansion and tell Li Chong that it's not too late to turn back now!"

"Otherwise, all that awaits him is a dismembered body!"

"Yes, yes, I will tell the truth to the prince after I go back." The officer took a sneak peek at the head floating in the wind and trembled with fear.

He secretly thought in his heart that this Fan Xin was like a devil from heaven. He killed more than 70 people at will without fear of retribution.

After loading the head into the carriage in a food box, the Yamen servant hugged Fan Xin and hurried away in the carriage.

"Magistrate Fan, if you send the head to Langya Prince's Mansion, it will definitely anger Li Chong and make him lead an army to attack Wushui County in advance. Isn't this bad for us?" After arranging the city defense, Lin Tie came over and said.

Fan Xin withdrew his gaze and said calmly: "I just want to anger Li Chong and ask him to raise troops to attack the city as soon as possible."

"Only in this way can we have a chance to defend the city. If we wait until he recruits enough, it will be our disaster."

Of course, Fan Xin's move also had another purpose, to speed up King Fan Yang's rebellion and disrupt Li Chong's plan to raise troops. He could not explain this to Lin Tie clearly.

"So that's it, the general knows what to do."

After the two chatted for a few words, they went to the city gate to inspect the urn wall.

At the same time, the meeting hall of Langya Palace was filled with generals wearing armor, and everyone's face was full of relaxation.

"Xiong Zhan, how are you preparing to recruit the troops I ordered you to recruit?" Li Chong put down his wine glass and looked at the middle-aged man on the left.

Hearing this, the man smiled and clasped his fists and said, "Back to my lord, the general will live up to his expectations. He has recruited four thousand elite soldiers. In time, we will surely be able to gather an army of thirty thousand!"

"Good job." Li Chong laughed and turned his head to look at King Fan Yang: "Uncle Wang, my nephew's progress is going well. How are you preparing?"

Li Ai took a sip of wine and put the horn glass on the table.

"Eight thousand elite soldiers are ready to attack. As long as you rise up, I can raise troops to respond at any time!"

"As expected of Uncle Wang, he is indeed very powerful. Come on, my nephew will give you a toast."

Hearing that King Fan Yang had eight thousand elite soldiers, Li Chong was very excited and quickly picked up the horn cup to toast Li Ai.

Unexpectedly, an armored guard broke in and knelt on one knee.

"Your Majesty, the Wushui County government has brought a cart of food boxes, saying it is a gift for you!
