The gentleman's way

It's just a sigh of emotion, but it will leave a lifetime of pain to the relatives of the Jun family.Jun Changning secretly made up his mind that not only would he go back by himself, but he would also take this group of people back with him.

No one knows Xinzhizhou's determination, but his reputation in the army has always been good, not only for the mutual support along the way, but also for the crisis at the beginning. Some people even suspected that those soldiers were infected with the epidemic, and Mr. Jun did not directly After throwing them out, he tried his best to cure them. For a while, his influence in the army was comparable to that of Zhang Dahu.

Zhang Dahu also knew his mission to come to Qinguan. When the soldiers gradually recovered, he led a group of strong soldiers to walk around Qinguan. Then he had to admit that this place is really easy to defend. If you eat and drink, you are almost not afraid of the other party's tricks. They will be attacked before, probably because the guards at Qinguan have no defense against those people.

Zhang Dahu allocated a group of elites in the army to Jun Changning's side, about 100 of them, they were considered as Zhizhou's soldiers, otherwise Jun Changning, a polished commander, who would listen to him, the former Zhizhou's soldiers have disappeared up.There was a lot of waste waiting to be done in Qinguan, and Zhang Dahu took care of all the military affairs. He had participated in the northern border battle before, and he had a large number of troops in his hands, so it went smoothly.

On the other hand, Jun Changning's life is not so easy. Qinguan is too poor, with poor land, lack of drinking water, and even a lack of population. There is no special production, and even if he wants to move, he doesn't know where to start.And the officials below turned their heads one by one, wanting to show him off.

Jun Changning sighed, and looked at the guy with lively eyes below, but he knew that he had to deal with this group of people first, otherwise no matter how many good methods he had, he would not be able to implement them.Strictly speaking, there is no such thing as a famous family in Qinguan, which can be popular in the local area. After all, this place is too poor and poor to raise such a big family.

But there is no famous family, but a group of local snakes. These people more or less have some official positions. Of course, these official positions cannot be assigned by the emperor himself. Most of them were raised by the local magistrates themselves. It's just an official, Zhizhou has the right to make his own decisions.And these people either bought official positions or got them through connections, anyway, they all rely on this to make money.

These people are tangled together, but they are not a small force. They can more or less command some of the previous soldiers. Ordinary people must not dare to fight against them.Before meeting them, Zhao Mingde had already analyzed them with him. Most of these people were good. After all, they were from the village. They didn't dare to do too much, they were just taking advantage of it.But there is Zhu Limu and Shen Limu among them, but they are really harmful characters.

Jun Changning looked at the account book in his hand and almost laughed out of breath. He didn't know how many people there were in Qinguan, but he could understand the sparseness of the population just by looking at the posture, not to mention that Zhao Mingde talked to him in the beginning.But now the account books produced by these officials, other people are quite reasonable, these two people are like lions with big mouths, two remote villages can have a hundred households, and each family can have five people. This is the capital city!

If it's something else, it's fine. Now this kind of situation is the life of the common people in Qinguan. They directly detained most of them. That's not to let the common people eat the northwest wind.Jun Changning asked himself that he wasn't the type who was dedicated to the people, but he couldn't tolerate such behavior, so he suddenly sneered, and said flatly, "Are you sure about the number, so you won't change it?"

The official Shen at the bottom only thought that Zhizhou was young, so even if he knew the tricks in it, he would not dare to take anything against them. Isn't that the case with the one in front, so he said with a smile: "My lord, this number was driven out overnight by the few of us." , Naturally, there is nothing wrong with it.”

Jun Changning sneered, and suddenly said to the soldiers beside him: "Go, call me the Daozhou Yamen from all the people in the city. My lord wants to see how many people there are."

Shen Limu's face was a bit ugly, but when he saw that the soldier walked outside without even looking at him, he felt a little anxious in his heart, and shouted with an ugly face: "Your Excellency, you don't believe us?"

But Jun Changning just glanced at him lightly, and said lightly: "It's useless for me to believe you or not, it's true if the common people believe in you." He didn't say much, and took people directly to the lobby to wait.But Shen Limu and Zhu Limu were not in a hurry when they heard this, and asked the common people, how dare the common people tell the truth, besides, what they withheld were not the seeds in Qinguan city.

After a while, the prefecture's office was crowded to the brim. It can be seen that there are quite a few people in Qinguan City, and the entire Yamen in Ai'ai is full.Because they didn't know what happened, the common people were panicked, Zhao Mingde frowned slightly, wondering if he wanted to remind the magistrate not to mess things up, but these two officials are not easy to mess with .It's very relevant in the city.

However, Jun Changning snorted coldly, slapped the case, pointed to the official with the least population and said: "Go and read the population of Qinguanzhou."

The official's eyes were slightly startled, and he was sweating profusely when he stared at the surroundings. He was originally a coward, otherwise he would not dare to act when everyone was corrupt. Now he was frightened by Jun Changning, but he was obedient read it out.

The common people really don't know anything else, but they can still understand the words. Although Qinguan is located in a remote place, I don't know which predecessor contributed to it. The official language is spoken. Although there are some accents, they can generally understand it. Understand.After reading it aloud, the common people would naturally hear that something was wrong. Those who lived close these days knew what was going on in each other's house, and wondered why there were so many people around their own house.

55. Fearless

The long list was read for an entire hour. At the beginning, everyone listened attentively. Gradually, no matter whether it was the officials above or the common people below, they all became a little bit listless. Some people even turned their attention from the account book. To the handsome and unparalleled official master.Jun Changning's eyes swept over these people, and occasionally he could see a trace of anger flashing across the faces of a few people, but the people above just dared to be angry and dare not speak out.

As a psychiatrist in his previous life, what Jun Changning understands best is that if a person has resentment towards others, he must be thinking about when to take revenge in his heart. He didn't find a chance, and what he has to do now is to give these people a chance.

After reading for an entire hour, the official felt his mouth was dry, his throat was hoarse and painful, and his voice almost broke: "My lord, this subordinate has finished reading."

Jun Changning hummed, then turned to Zhu and Shen, "Is there something wrong with what you two adults heard?"

Zhu Limu and Shen Limu looked at each other, stepped forward and said: "My lord, there is nothing wrong."

Jun Changning nodded, suddenly patted the chopping board, and said directly to the people below: "I'm new here, but I'm not familiar with the local area of ​​Qinguan, all the people are listening, but there's something absolutely wrong?"

The people were bustling for a while, but no one dared to stand up. Jun Changning naturally knew that these two people must have accumulated power in the local area for a long time, and his own words were not enough to make these people risk their lives. I don’t know, below the Tongzhi of Qin Guan, all officials have the right to directly dismiss and select replacements, including judges from the seventh rank and officials from the ninth rank. The so-called official list is in charge of local documents. If even population statistics are done Not good, there is no need to continue, it is better to make room for those who can live."

These words were slapped directly on the faces of those officials, and even brought a bit of threat.Those officials are all locals, and they also have certain connections here. Otherwise, there is only one official in Qinguan. How could they have five people?It's just because the former Zhizhou didn't dare to rashly promote officials from the seventh rank, so he had to put these difficult ones in the position of the ninth rank.

Hearing this, Zhu Limu, who was originally calm as usual, also showed a bit of anger. He didn't expect that the new magistrate would be so shameless. It was only the second day, and he was going to attack them directly. , then it will be worth it.Although Qinguan is a poor place, their life was very good in the past. If the lord takes back all the rights now, then they can only eat the salary and silver of the imperial court. degree of fullness.

The people below were not the same, wondering in their hearts that this lord was going to take action against these corrupt officials, they all had some expectations in their hearts, and their dissatisfaction with these people slowly rose in their hearts.Shen Limu snorted coldly when he saw this, and suddenly came out and said: "My lord, although the Zhizhou does have this responsibility, but the lower official asked himself that there is nothing wrong with it, even the Zhizhou lord can't do it alone."

That Zhu Limu also knew that he had to stand up now, and now he had the same ugly face, and said loudly: "That's it, no matter what, my lord should also consider public opinion."

What Jun Changning was waiting for was now, and he suddenly slammed the case and shouted: "Presumptuous, I haven't spoken yet, how can you, a little official, intervene? If you are not guilty of your own conscience, why worry about what the official said. How dare you two Dare to despise the court, come, give me twenty slaps,
