If you keep making noise, I won’t stand it anymore!

Chapter 145: Still others are willing to take action (2)

Liu Bo finally chose the first room in the second courtyard, which was close to the corridor facing south. The bed, table, chairs and other furniture inside had been properly arranged. Meixiang asked Xiaosan to bring a set of prepared bedding and toiletries.

"Uncle Liu, I'll ask someone to make you a few sets of clothes and put them here, so you can stay here whenever you want." Meixiang said with a smile, looking at Uncle Liu who was still very moved.

She has no intention of becoming a great philanthropist who saves all the suffering people in the world, but as long as there is a connection and someone is sincere in doing things for the people, she is willing to do her best to help and accept them.

After the group toured the Liu Mansion three times and considered the future plans for the mansion, the dragon blood tree seedlings and frozen green bush seedlings were finally planted in the northwest corner of the innermost part of the temporary garden.

"Uncle Liu, it's hard for you to run back and forth." Meixiang patted the dirt off her hands and said to Uncle Liu, whose hands were also covered in dust.

"What are you saying, young lady? As long as they can live safely, I am willing to work any hardship." Uncle Liu almost patted his chest and pointed to the sky to swear his loyalty.

During dinner, Chu Zeming and the other two brought back the interrogation results of the five people.

"It's really a fish that's neither too big nor too small," Mei Xiang said with emotion after reading the interrogation record at the conference table, "Am I too gentle in my daily life? That makes all the cats and dogs want to take a bite?"

"Then just show off your little claws." Situ Yidun replied with a curled lip and a smile.

"That's right. We must show our claws this time to avoid those flies that are always annoying. They are not fatal but disgusting enough." Feng Yizhen added, "The rainy season is coming soon. We have a lot of things to worry about. How can we have the spare time to chase away flies?"

The final result of the discussion was that Chu Zeming, on behalf of Liuzhou Prefecture, submitted a memorial to the capital, detailing the ins and outs of the matter and attached the interrogation statements of five people.

At the end of the memorial, he added a sentence: "If there are more flies flying over here, either ask the four elders to come and chase them away, or send someone to take over the affairs of the government office, and the five of us will be free to chase away the flies."

This memorial was signed jointly by Meixiang, Chu Zeming, Feng Yizheng and Situ Yidong, which shows how angry and disgusted the four of them are about this matter.

The four people from other prefectures were temporarily detained in the newly built cell in the government office awaiting the court's order on how to deal with them. However, Liu Goudan, one of the parties involved, was not so "lucky". As a native of Liuzhou Prefecture, Meixiang and his men had full power of execution.

The most exciting thing in Liuzhou Prefecture in recent days is that a major event happened. Liu Goudan and Liu Gousheng from Liujia Village colluded with outsiders for personal gain and led people into the back mountain without authorization to cut trees and burn the mountain. Liu Gousheng was eaten by wild beasts in the mountain on the spot, while Liu Goudan was bitten and rescued. Now he is being paraded through the streets of Manzhou Prefecture by the yamen runners.

"You are such a heartless and evil person, I will smash you to death!" A rotten egg was thrown at Liu Goudan.

"You are a useless thing, you are such an evildoer." Another piece of rotten cabbage was thrown out.

"Which village is this person from? How could such a person appear? Do the village chief and clan elders just know how to eat and do nothing?" Passerby A expressed his doubts.

"I heard it's from Liujia Village. Now the whole village is embarrassed." Passerby B replied.

"Oh, I heard that it was the people from the Liu Mansion in Liujia Village who rescued them. In my opinion, people like this should not be rescued and should be eaten by wild beasts." Passerby C added.

Hidden in the crowd, Village Chief Liu's face turned red and his neck became thick, and he hid himself a little further into the crowd. He never dreamed that he would become famous in this way in his lifetime. In his heart, he wanted to pounce on Liu Goudan and bite off a few pieces of his meat to vent his anger.

"That bastard, why didn't the wild beasts in the mountains eat him together?" Village Chief Liu cursed angrily, his face distorted with anger.

"When we go back, we must take a look at those idle people in the village who like to take advantage of small opportunities, so that they won't make the same mistakes as Liu Goudan in Liujia Village, which will be difficult to deal with." The village heads and elders of other villages who were also standing in the crowd thought in unison.

The parade lasted for more than half a month, and finally started from the capital and traveled throughout the jurisdiction of Liuzhou Prefecture. The scoundrels in each village of Liuzhou Prefecture were picked up one by one by the village heads and elders and trained for more than half a month.

The effect was so good that Chu Zeming and Situ Yidong were reluctant to let Liu Gousheng leave.

"Sister Xiang'er, you don't know how happy the soldiers in the barracks are when they come back from patrol. They tell everyone they meet that the villagers have repeatedly and enthusiastically begged them to patrol carefully and not let any bad guys go."

"In addition, the village heads and elders of some individual villages privately requested them not to send anyone from their village to the government office if they were caught. They would discipline them strictly and would not show leniency." Situ Yidun laughed, patting his thigh.

"Why?" Xiao San, who is usually quiet and seems invisible, asked with rare curiosity.

"Of course they're afraid of being caught and paraded through the streets to embarrass themselves. Haven't you seen that Village Chief Liu and the elders haven't left their homes for a long time?" Aunt Li, who just happened to come in to refill tea, replied with a smile.

She and Nanny Chen took time out to watch the parade several times this time. The last time she even dragged her mistress along as well. It was rare to see such a lively parade.

"Speaking of which, Sister Xiang'er, I am reluctant to let Liu Goudan go. What should I do? The effect is really great. Now the people in the government office are more motivated than others." Chu Zeming asked with a smile. He really felt a lot more relaxed in the past half month.

"Then don't let him go for the time being," Mei Xiang added with a smile, "How about you take him out for a walk every once in a while?"

"Although this idea is a bit damaging, it is definitely a good idea." Everyone applauded in response.

From then on, the Liuzhou government office had a new way of punishing people - parading through the streets. Anyone who was confirmed to have made a mistake would be dragged out and paraded through the streets. Then the whole village would be ridiculed for more than half a month while people talked about who would be the next person to be paraded through the streets.

The first offender will be pulled out at least three times and then sentenced according to the severity of the offense. Major offenders will be pulled out at intervals to warn the people of the state.

At this time, the village heads and elders who had never paraded villagers were the most proud and proud. They would stand up straight when they met other village heads. Then they would go back to the village and gather the registered idiots in their own village to educate them again and again.

Meixiang and others marveled countless times at their own wisdom and bravery for coming up with such a good idea.

When the dragon blood trees and frost green bushes planted in the Liu Mansion's medicinal garden and small flower garden sprouted new buds, the imperial edict from the capital was also delivered to the Liuzhou Mansion's government office.
