The county magistrate who cooperated with Gu Zhao the most was of course the county magistrate. As soon as he heard that the road was being built, he immediately realized the benefits. The most direct one was that the time spent on the road from Mihe County to Yaochang City would save a lot of time. Less, it will be much more convenient to travel, and it will be much more convenient to sell rubber grass in Yaochang Mansion in the future.

After the capital's approval came, Gu Zhao directly asked someone to read His Majesty's will outside the yamen, and executed Fang Jixin and others. The common people clapped their hands and applauded.

This result also reached the ears of Fang Jixin and others in the cell. Fang Jixin had hoped that someone would come to rescue him, such as Shangfeng, whom he had always respected. Unfortunately, he didn't know that Shangfeng himself was in danger now. How could Shangfeng not know about such a big mistake in Changfu?So how dare you reach out to Yaochang Mansion at this moment.

What makes Shangfeng afraid is that Gu Zhao has only been in Yaochang Mansion for a long time, and he has a hot relationship with General Ji. That guy is usually soft and hard, and Shangfeng doesn't even know where Gu Zhao, a young official, got a surname Ji's eyes made the surname Ji bring his own soldiers to serve Gu Zhao.

After the decree of the decision was conveyed, Fang Jixin was desperate. After despair, he yelled to see Gu Zhao. He had something to say to Gu Zhao, but it was a pity that Gu Zhao was busy, and he didn't take the time to go when the words reached his ears. What do you do when you see someone?Anyway, Fang Jixin is definitely going to die, and the other Fang family members, whoever has a life on their hands, can't escape, including the Hao family of the Zuo family. The same is true for the Yan family. The people of the clan were tied up and sent to the Yamen.

This time, the Yan family also donated a lot of money to build roads this time. Seeing that the Yan family took the lead, other merchants in the city also donated more or less. They were afraid that after Gu Zhao cleaned up those three families, he would turn around and clean them up again. The money was the fastest to be stolen from the house, and he was afraid that Gu Zhao would use up the money to take them to the knife, so instead of waiting for Gu Zhao to worry about it, it is better to donate it himself.

Now that the business roads have opened up and the number of caravans coming and going, these merchants have actually followed suit. In the past, Fang Jixin would only squeeze them, but instead of Gu Zhao, their income has increased. Now that they are so honest, they also expect Gu Zhao to bring more They get rich.

On the day Fang Jixin and Xiong Wu were beheaded on the execution ground, many people came to watch, including people from the counties and villages below. Many people never dreamed that Fang Jixin and Xiong Wu would be beheaded. There are few people here who have not been oppressed by the Fang family.

"Execution!" Gu Zhao ordered when it was three quarters noon.

Fang Jixin failed to wait for his rescuer. The last thing he saw was the sun's rays reflected by the knife, which was dazzling. However, his life ended at this moment, the last moment of his life. I wonder if he regretted walking on such a path One way, perhaps what he regrets the most is that he didn't start early and let Xiong Wu lead people to kill Gu Zhao on the way. He is still the best acquaintance in this place, who can escape from his Wuzhishan?

The only thing he did wrong was to look down on Gu Zhao too much, but there is no medicine for regret in the world, and not everyone can do it all over again like Gu Zhen.

After the head fell to the ground, some people cheered loudly, some people cried bitterly on the spot, they had avenged their vengeance, and many people kowtowed to the magistrate, if not the magistrate, they would not be able to wait for this day.

The old man told the children in the family that since they have started working, they should work hard for the adults, repair the roads requested by the adults, and be worthy of the wages and meals provided by the adults.

The child's father and the child's mother told each other to work hard in the workshop, don't think about stealing and playing tricks, the adults are watching with keen eyes.

There are also many caravans staying here who came to watch and watched Fang Jixin and Xiong's five heads fall to the ground with their own eyes. They were even more in awe of the young magistrate on the stage. Dealing with the government must follow the right path, and the crooked ways of the past should not be used to shame people.

A group of people's heads were beheaded, and others were punished according to the law, but the exile was changed to labor reform. Except for the young, both men and women planted trees and repaired roads for them. After the road was repaired, they also planted trees. No, you can still mine. Those two mines are now owned by the imperial court.

Those miners have recuperated for a while, and their bodies have recovered a lot. Except for those who are particularly weak, they must continue to be raised. Gu Zhao also gave them a choice as to how to arrange for the rest. Buy a field, or you can choose to enter the workshop under the name of the government.

During this period of time in Zhuangzi, they also understood the external changes, and they were convinced that the prefect did not deceive them this time, and they had nothing to deceive, but their days as miners left an indelible impression on them, so most of them They all chose to buy land, and they still had money left to build a house, and a small number of people chose to enter the workshop. Of course, no matter which choice they chose, they did not regret it. Later, they really lived the good life they had longed for before.

On this day, Gu Zhao came out from the construction site. He stayed on the construction site for ten consecutive days. He went in and out with the workers, and his whole body became dusty. Since it was the first time for the caravan, I learned that Gu Zhao and the others I met were from the city, so I asked them about the news in the city and the new magistrate.

Gu Zhao didn't care about his image and face, and didn't take the initiative to say that he was the magistrate they called, and talked to them with a smile. These people couldn't imagine that the gray young man in front of them was actually the magistrate, which adult wouldn't like that Image?As for why Gu Zhao spoke the official language, it was because Gu Zhao was not a native of Yaochang Mansion, and he had studied abroad for many years. This excuse was easy to believe.

"This young master is wearing a woolen sweater from the Wool Workshop in Yaochang Mansion. I heard that this thin one is very warm."

As the weather was getting colder, Li was worried that his son would be freezing outside, so he not only asked him to wear it, but also asked him to wear a protective suit to prevent the temperature from dropping suddenly.

Gu Zhao smiled and said: "Yes, I wear a sweater inside this coat, which is really warm. If you come here for this sweater, I'm afraid you won't be satisfied. The speed of sweater making is not fast, and there are few skilled workers, so hurry up The number produced is limited, and the orders received by the workshop are almost at the end of the year."

"Oh, that's a pity. We still want to try to bring a few sweaters back to see if there are any sales. Now it seems that we can only bring some suet soap and rubber products back. I heard that your magistrate is very serious. Well, even the vicious horse thief was completely killed by him, and even the head of the Lord Xiong was chopped off? Is this magistrate better than the leader of the horse thief?"

Gu Zhao said with a smile: "That's because our lord has General Ji's help. Outsiders look at horse thieves as scary, but how can they, a mob, have a formal and well-trained army? If General Ji shows his power, the horse thief will be punished." The pot was dropped."

"You can't say that. That General Ji has meritorious service, but the magistrate is also great. General Ji has been here for several years, but this year, under the hands of this magistrate, the horse thieves who have been rampant for many years have been wiped out."

Gu Zhao smiled and said nothing, he couldn't boast himself, he wasn't thick-skinned to that extent.

When Gu Zhao and this caravan entered the city together, the defenders of the city saw Gu Zhaona and immediately came over, respectfully saluted Gu Zhao, and invited you to enter the city.

Gu Zhao smiled and nodded to the people in the caravan, then rode away.

The people in the caravan were stunned, and grabbed the person who just saluted Gu Zhao: "Who was that just now? You call him Lord?"

The guards of the city were surprised. Seeing them chatting and laughing with the adults all the way in, they thought they knew the identity of the adults: "That is our prefect, Mr. Gu, you don't know?"

"Ah...he said his surname is Li."

"Haha, that's because our lord's mother's surname is Li, and your lord must have borrowed Mrs. Li's surname."

"Then he is really Lord Gu Zhaogu?"

"Of course it is true. Who dares to pretend to be our magistrate? Let's see if the people in the city agree."

The people in the caravan couldn't stop regretting it. If they knew this was the magistrate, they should have gotten close to him on the way. It took Gu Zhao a few words to get goods from those three workshops.

Because Gu Zhao wiped out all the horse thieves, the rumors about him became more and more mysterious, and even exaggerated to the point that Gu Zhao was born tall and strong, and was born with supernatural powers, so he was able to capture the leader of the horse thieves, Xiong Laowu, and none of the horse thieves escaped. Let him go, and Gu Zhao himself looks darker and thinner, but he still looks like a gentle scholar. Talking to him will make people feel that he is a well-born and well-bred son of a big family.

It was only then that the people in the caravan realized that when the magistrate was mentioned on the road, the young man either avoided talking about it or praised General Ji.

Unexpectedly, the magistrate, who was rumored to be fierce, was so approachable, and he was so friendly to their caravan.

Gu Zhao did not conceal his identity on purpose. As long as he obeyed the rules, he welcomed the caravans, because the caravans also brought goods from outside, especially food. buy food.

After returning to the mansion, it was getting late in the house. Before entering the door, I heard laughter from inside. It was not only from Li Shi, but also a man’s voice. It sounded very familiar. Gu Zhao was surprised for a moment. The color, quickly walked in.

"Brother Yang! Master Peng and brother Peng! You are all here! You didn't even know me!"

Unexpectedly, three acquaintances came all of a sudden, not only Gu Yang, but also Mrs. Peng and Peng Ling. Li Shi was talking with them. Although she is a woman from Heli, there are not so many rules here. Mrs. Peng is also a free and easy person.

Gu Zhao happily patted the shoulders of Gu Yang and Peng Ling, and hugged them. Li Shi said angrily, "You don't come home when you're busy, and they are afraid of disturbing your business."

Gu Zhao quickly apologized, Gu Yang and Peng Ling were also happy to see him, the three of them laughed together, and Mrs. Peng looked at the three of them with great emotion in his heart, and he has learned a lot from what he has seen and heard along the way.
