One day passed.

Still no one said anything good about Governor Song. As a dignified governor, he didn't even have ten common people speaking for him.

Hong Xuan narrowed his eyes and looked at Governor Song: "How is it? Now a day has passed and not even one citizen has said anything good about you, and you are the governor of a state.

If you are a good official, not to mention ten people, even the umbrellas of the people who support you have already been sent to you."

In the prison van

Governor Song had a look of despair on his face: "Zhenbei Wang Dafeng State has many corrupt officials, why did you choose me alone?"

Zhenbei Wang Hongxuan raised his lips and said:

"Don't worry, Governor Song, you are the first, but you will not be the last. As long as I am here, you corrupt officials will have nowhere to hide."

The people of the entire Yuzhou City all knew that Governor Song had been imprisoned by the King of Zhenbei.

Many people found it hard to believe and thought it was a fantasy.

Hongxuan placed the prisoner cart of Governor Song at the city gate.

A large group of people came, more than ten in number.

These people came here not to plead for mercy for Governor Song. Instead, they held bran and vegetable leaves in their hands and threw them directly at Governor Song.

It is conceivable how much these people hated this governor.

Other officials were not spared either. They were all hit with vegetable leaves and bran by the people.

"Good officials will naturally be supported, while corrupt officials will naturally be despised by the people!"

However, Song Buzheng, who was in the prison car, still smiled at Hongxuan and said:

"The current officialdom is all the same! Do you, the King of the North, want to clean up the officialdom?"

"Even if you send me back to Kyoto now, what can I do?"

"This little sin cannot convict me at all!"

Song the governor made him stop pretending.

"When I arrive in Kyoto, I will definitely impeach you, the King of Zhenbei, for meddling in other people's affairs."

Hongxuan looked at Governor Song with a cold gaze.

"When did I ever promise to send you back to Kyoto for punishment?"

"The left and right guards will take this corrupt official to Caishikou to be beheaded!"

Governor Song was stunned when he heard this. He did not expect that the Prince of Zhenbei would dare to do this.

Wasn't he just sent back to Kyoto for punishment? But he was sent directly to Caishikou to be executed just because he said something in reply.

"King Zhengbei, you can't do this. I am an official appointed by the court!"

Hongxuan looked at Governor Song and said:

"Governor Song, your words just now have awakened me. You are indeed right.

The Dafeng Kingdom is indeed full of corrupt officials. If that were not the case, then why would I see so many displaced people!

So you are very sure that even if you are sent to Kyoto, you will be safe, right? But I am the King of Zhenbei and I will not fulfill your wish. "

King Hongxuan of Zhenbei personally led his personal guards to parade the officials of the Song Provincial Government's Office and some other officials through the streets.

Hongxuan stripped off all their official uniforms. There were a total of thirty corrupt officials paraded through the streets. They formed a sharp contrast with the common people. Each of these thirty corrupt officials was fat and strong and extremely rich.

How greedy must one be to eat to get this kind of body shape in this era!

King Hongxuan of Zhenbei brought with him 300 personal guards, and the onlookers knelt down before him one after another.

These people had never thought that one day the emperor's son, Prince Zhenbei, would punish corrupt officials.

Not only were they punished, but they were also dragged directly to Caishikou and beheaded in public!

"Behead this bastard official!"

"Every year the imperial court allocates disaster relief food, but they eat and sell it all!"

"Yuzhou Governor Song is colluding with bandits!"

"He took away all my family's land and property and drove us out of the city!"

"God will punish you, no one will be spared!"

Hongxuan stood at the front of the team:

"People of Yuzhou! I, the King of Zhenbei, am arresting Yuzhou Governor Song today because I was traveling from Kyoto to the northern border. When I arrived in Yuzhou, I saw a large number of refugees who were hungry and poorly clothed and were living like grass! Whose fault is this? This is the fault of the governor of a state! As the parent official of a state, he let his people suffer from cold and hunger. This is the biggest corrupt official!"

"I will not speak of justice! Yuzhou and the northern border are both adjacent areas. I am not capable of managing other states, as they are too far away to reach me. But I will definitely manage Yuzhou!"

"The land of Yuzhou is vast and rich in resources, which is suitable for growing wheat. Logically, there will never be starving people and wasteland. Since no one can manage this land of Yuzhou, I will take over this land on behalf of my father. From now on, Yuzhou is my territory!"

When the people of Yuzhou heard Hongxuan’s words, they all kowtowed!

"Live a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years, the King of Zhenbei!"

"Your Majesty is a blessing to Yuzhou. It is a blessing for all the people that Yuzhou is under the jurisdiction of the King of Zhenbei!"

Caishikou.

Thirty corrupt officials, led by Governor Song, were all dragged to the execution ground.

The next day at noon!

At Caishikou, the executioner raised his sword and beheaded thirty corrupt officials including Governor Song as a warning to the public.

King Hongxuan of Zhenbei packed up the heads of thirty people including Governor Song and had them sent to Kyoto by express horse at a speed of 800 miles.

And wrote his own memorial.

Hongxuan killed thirty corrupt officials including the governor of Song.

Not only were the common people in an uproar, but even the former bandit soldiers among his personal guards were all shocked.

Previously, they thought that Hongxuan was only good at commanding troops and fighting wars and having strategies, but they never expected that Hongxuan loved the people like his own children and hated corrupt officials like an enemy.

With such a commander and such a prince, which soldier would not submit to him, which people would support him, and which citizen would not love him?

They have completely submitted to Hongxuan from the bottom of their hearts.

Hongxuan lies in the radiance in their hearts.

The next morning.

Hongxuan led three hundred personal guards to open the granaries in Yuzhou City and release grain.

Hongxuan shouted loudly:

"Every adult male in the community can come and receive food, which will be used for spring planting."

"I, the King of Zhenbei, will be the governor of Yuzhou! For three years, no taxes will be collected. Within three years, all people will recuperate and resume production!

"All the land shall be handed over to the Zhenbei Palace for management and redistributed to the people so that every citizen can have land to farm!"

As soon as the news spread, it swept across the entire Yuzhou and the entire Dafeng Dynasty.

The Hongxuan people have not yet gone to the northern border, but what they have done has already exceeded everyone's understanding.

And this news quickly spread throughout the Dafeng Dynasty.

When Emperor Dingwen of Dafeng heard the news, his first reaction was him. He couldn't believe that this was done by Prince Zhenbei.

All of Emperor Dingwen's teacups in the Qianqing Palace had been smashed to pieces.

"Is Xuan'er crazy? Why did he do such a thing? What exactly does he want to do?"

The spy kneeling before him responded shakily.

"I don't know why the King of Zhenbei would kill Governor Song and other subordinate officials!"

Emperor Dingwen said angrily: "Don't mention it's you. I also didn't expect why the King of Zhenbei did this."

Just when Emperor Dingwen was angry, another piece of news came.

Upon hearing the news, Emperor Dingwen showed murderous intent between his brows.
