Liu Xin and the others calmed down a bit, and said, "I want to ask everyone, should I, the Hejian prefect, be in charge of the people or the army?"
Zhang Jun saw that Li Cheng and his hardcore gangster had both died, and Li Lin was afraid that he was too ill-fortuned. He was so determined that he was about to get up and answer. Unexpectedly, one person stood up first and said, "Master Hui, Hejian is not a border county, and the post of captain has not been set up separately. The army should also be supervised by the adults. The prefect is to take charge of the army and dismount the people."
Liu Xin smiled and asked, "Well, who are you?"
The man replied, "My lord, the next official is Wang Lei, and he is currently living in the post of Cao Shi."
Liu Xin nodded and said, "Yes, well said, Lord Wang, please sit down."
Wang Lei bowed to Liu Xin again and said, "Thank you, sir!" Then he sat down.
Liu Xin secretly observed the eyes of the officials looking at Wang Lei, some of them despised, some were envious, and some were eager to try, so he coughed lightly: "My sires. Do you know where the sergeants on my left and right are from? They are all. I was the guard of the county government. As the prefect of the county, I managed the army on horses and the people off horses, but only sent two sergeants guarding the gates. I left my duty at night without permission. My wife was almost killed. They have been killed by me. I was executed. The officer returned to the city late at night, and there was only one soldier guarding the city in Xicheng. I don't know who should be responsible for these things?"
Zhang Jungang thought of getting up, but he was robbed again. One person stood up and said, "Go back to your lord, and subordinate Chen Jin. He is now the thief Cao Shi. The recruitment, training, dispatch, and armor equipment of the army. Cao Shi is responsible for the food and grass of the Golden Drum. The guard of the city gate is taken care of by the Lieutenant Colonel."
"Oh, it turns out that the gangster was making a ghost. It seems that his death is also on his own. Chen Lord, since you are a thief, Cao Shi, you must be in charge of arresting the thief. I will ask you again if there have been any incidents in this county recently. How are the bandits robbing the people's food?" Liu Xin nodded again and continued to ask.
Chen Jin straightened his chest and said, "Reporting to your lord, it is the duty of the subordinates to hunt down the bandits. According to the county reports, there have been three incidents of robbery of the people’s food since this month. Fortunately, there were no casualties, only losses. New grains and a small amount of money. The official is arranging staff to search around, and when there is news, he will report to the adults."
Liu Xin looked at Chen Jin with satisfaction, and said, "Master Chen handled it well. It is now in the autumn harvest. The incidents of robbers robbing the people’s food cannot be taken lightly. Most people’s homes have enough food to last until the next summer’s harvest. Once they are robbed, Life is definitely not settled. The counties must be informed to make preparations to appease the people who have been robbed, and the Minzhuang must take turns to inspect, just in case. As long as the fence is tightly tied, there is no fear of wild dogs coming in."
All the officials laughed after hearing Liu Xin's words, and the dull atmosphere just wiped out. Liu Xin waited for everyone’s laughter to stop, and continued: "Master Chen, you have to think more about this matter. If you don’t have enough manpower, you can seconde officers and soldiers. By the way, who will be in charge of the officers and soldiers?"
Chen Jin seized the opportunity, and he sat down, standing and continuing to answer: "Back to your lord, there should have been two captains in the barracks. After Li Lin became a captain, Li Cheng found a reason to exempt another captain. Li Lin’s duties are now under the control of Li Lin alone."
Liu Xin pondered for a moment and said, "Master Chen, please sit down first." Turning to Zhang Jun said, "Zhang Changshi, please take care of this barracks for the time being, and I will appoint a new lieutenant when I choose the right person."
When I said this, I told everyone clearly that Li Lin was finished, and the stone in Zhang Jun's heart was completely put down. The depression that was robbed of the limelight just two times when he wanted to behave also disappeared without a trace, and stood up. Come and promise.
Liu Xin said: "Zhang Changshi, Li Lin is still tied up in the mansion. What should I do? Li Cheng colluded with the army and broke into the prefectural mansion with the intention of assassinating the official, which is like rebellion. How should you report to the court for an on-the-spot killing? I think these matters should be handled by you."
Zhang Jun was immediately exasperated. He had been suppressed by Li Cheng for a long time, and he did not dare to say much. Today, he finally turned over and became the master. He immediately stated: "Please rest assured, Uncle Li Cheng and the few minions who have been here for a long time Hejian did evil, and the lower official had already grasped the evidence of their crimes, and was about to report it to the adults, and did not want the adults to have killed the people. The lower officials are all the officials and the people in Hejian, thank you, the adults!" After speaking, he bowed to Liu Xin. Pay homage. Upon seeing this, the officials also got up and bowed down.
Liu Xin was amused. These people are really clumsy. Now they have surrendered. So they stood up, his expression sank, and said, "The official only sins the first evil, and the accomplice never investigates. What have you done in the past? This official doesn’t care about it, but from now on, you must fulfill your duties and do not slack off. If someone commits illegal things again, don’t blame the official for turning his face ruthlessly. Come here today, and everyone will withdraw."
After today's scene, the officials couldn't stand up to resistance anymore, and they retired one after another. When Zhang Jun saw the crowd retreating, he walked to Liu Xin and said, "Going back to your lord, Li Cheng has committed a very heinous crime. He should confiscate his family and exterminate his clan. I ask the adults to show you that."
Liu Xin thought for a while and said, "Then Zhang Changshi will lead people to copy his home. As for his family members, they should move to the country."
Zhang Jun has been bullied by Li Cheng over the years, and is determined to get down the ground. He wanted to sell all of Li Cheng's family members as slaves. Seeing Liu Xin's arrangement, he didn't dare to mention it again, so he had to retreat.
When Liu Xin returned to the backyard, he saw Chen Jin brought a few servants and was playing with the handcuffs behind Li Lin, and he couldn't open it. Upon seeing this, Liu Xin found a branch, walked forward, and opened it three times. Chen Jin hurriedly thanked him and led Li Lin out.
Seeing that the major event was over, Liu Xin ordered Dianwei to go back and rest, but Dianwei refused to go to sleep, still holding the pair of big iron halberds and leaning against the tree in the courtyard. Liu Xin had no choice but to follow him, secretly saying in his heart that he deserved to be called the number one bodyguard, and he did his duty.
Back in the room, seeing Ma Yun still awake, Liu Xin felt a little sleepy, and feared waking her up, so he lay down outside.
Liu Xin drove a day and a night yesterday. After returning, he went through another turmoil. Now he finally settled down and fell asleep. He is indeed exhausted this day, that is, he has been exercising for a long time, and his body is strong. If he is replaced by someone else, he may not be able to hold it. He slept until Yutu Dongsheng, before waking up, but saw Ma Yun sitting on the bedside, looking at him distressedly.
Liu Xin sat up, held Ma Yun's hands, and stared at her face. Ma Yun was so straightened by him, she pulled out her hand, touched it by herself, and asked worriedly: "What's wrong with my face?"
Liu Xin said with a serious face: "You have a flower on your face, a rose."
Ma Yun looked at Liu Xin, a serious man, and laughed "Puff": "You, do your best, get up and eat quickly."
Liu Xin also smiled and touched her belly and said, "Well, I'm really hungry. Today I want to try my wife's craftsmanship."
Ma Yun said embarrassedly: "I've done a lot of things, but I haven't cooked this meal."
Liu Xin attached to her ear and muttered a few words. Ma Yunfei flushed her cheeks and "spoken" to Liu Xin: "The dog can't spit out ivory."
Liu Xin laughed triumphantly: “Let’s continue to do it tonight.
Early the next morning, Liu Xin got up on time again, still looking refreshed, and walked out of the gate of the prefectural palace. He saw Hu Cao Shi and Wanglei with a few scholars, and he was in front of the gate of the prefectural palace according to his instructions. A stall was set up, and a wooden sign was erected next to it, which read "Recruitment Office for the Prefects". This is what Liu Xin sent to inform him after dinner yesterday, but he did not expect that his movements were still very fast and he had already set up his position.
Seeing Liu Xin coming out, Wang Lei hurriedly greeted him and said: "Back to your lord, the lower officials have arranged them according to the instructions of the adults. I have also sent people to post the bulletins everywhere in the city and the subordinate counties."
Liu Xin said with satisfaction: "Yes, it's pretty thoughtful. Let's do this, the position of soldier Cao Shi is still vacant, so you will temporarily take the responsibility."
This soldier Cao Shi is a fat man. He handles a lot of food, grass, and weapons every year, and he usually takes money. It is much better than Hu Cao Shi, a Qingshui officer, or Li Cheng would not give this position to his confidant. Wang Lei was overjoyed when he heard that. On the one hand, he could fish some oil and water. On the other hand, it also showed the prefect’s trust in him. He quickly said, “Don’t worry, you will surely fulfill your mission.”
Liu Xin has now completely stepped onto the front desk, turning a blind eye to Wang Lei's humility, only nodded slightly, and said nothing. Wang Lei was very interesting, and bowed to Liu Xin, then walked aside, and continued to be busy deploying his stall.
Liu Xin walked around her residence, remembering Zhang Jun's arrival, so he called two soldiers and asked them to lead the way to see how well Li Cheng's home was copied. Li Cheng's Juncheng Mansion was only one road away from the Taishou Mansion, and it didn't take long to arrive. I saw the Juncheng Mansion quietly, and the two soldiers standing guard at the door were dozing off with guns in their arms. Liu Xin frowned slightly and said in his heart, it seemed that the quality of Hejian's army was really poor, and it seemed that he would have to have a big exchange of blood.
After yesterday's disturbance, Liu Xin's reputation in Hejian rose greatly. The soldier standing guard saw him, knowing that this handsome young man was the new prefect, and hurriedly straightened up. Liu Xin ignored them, pushed open the gate of Juncheng Mansion, raised his foot and walked in. The front yard was filled with property found from Li Cheng's house. Some were packed in boxes, and some were piled up in a mess on the ground. There were no account books around, and there was no arrangement for a guard. Liu Xin despised Zhang Junhao. No wonder he has been suppressed by Li Cheng for so many years and he is not reliable at all.
Liu Xin walked through the front yard and walked into the courtyard. There were many people on the ground, including men and women, old and young. These people were all tied up with ropes and strung together in the air. There was a smell of urine. Liu Xin frowned and walked around these people. But I saw two soldiers sitting on the ground in front of the gate of the inner house of Juncheng Mansion.
The two soldiers were whispering there and chuckles from time to time. Suddenly they noticed a person standing in front of him. He looked up and saw the official uniform. Knowing that it was the prefect, he hurriedly got up and saluted.
Liu Xin asked, "Where is Zhang Jun?"
