As the cold winter comes, the weather gets colder and colder. The biting cold wind invades the entire Huang County. The snow is covered with silver. In such a cold winter, people have nothing to do and stay at home most of the time, and not many people wandering around in the city.

On this day, two soldiers walked out of the government office.

The two of them were holding a gong in their hands, and then they shouted: "The chief clerk of Dangli County deceived his superiors and concealed his subordinates, exploited the people, and the prefect ordered him to be killed."

The soldiers' voices were extremely loud and echoed on the streets.

After a while, the sound of gongs sounded again.

As the soldiers kept shouting and beating drums, the people opened the doors, poked their heads out, and showed a curious look. Not long after, many people gathered on the streets to find out the news. In this era, information transmission was extremely slow, and the people had no unnecessary entertainment. As soon as they heard a new situation in Donglai County, they kept discussing.

The soldiers came to the south gate and quickly posted a notice. After the two soldiers left, the people standing quietly under the city tower were in an uproar and asked what was going on.

"Let me know how to read, let me do it."

A middle-aged man in a shabby dress and wearing Confucian uniform squeezed in. He stood under the notice, shaking his head and reading it, and a look of surprise gradually appeared on his face.

"What the hell is going on? Why was the chief clerk of Dangli County suddenly killed?"

"Has Dangli County's chief clerk attacked the prefect? ​​Otherwise, the officials would not have been killed."

"Tell me quickly, I'm so anxious."

The people urged them to know the general situation and knew that the chief clerk of Dangli County was killed. But the chief clerk of Dangli County was killed for the reasons, and the soldiers who beat the gong did not explain in detail, and they did not know.

The middle-aged man said loudly: "Everything is quiet, listen to me."

A boo suddenly rang around, and many people calmed down and waited quietly.

The middle-aged man looked a little proud and said loudly: "In order to punish the corrupt officials in Donglai County, the prefect specially sent an investigation team headed by the Inspector Shi A to patrol the counties. After Lord Shi A patroled Dangli County, he found that the chief clerk of Dangli County exploited the people and corruption and abused the law. On the spot, Lord Shi A killed the chief clerk of Dangli County."

As soon as these words were spoken, the people immediately cheered and encouraged, as if they were empathetic and cheered.

"Corrupt officials should be killed. It is because of these corrupt officials that we cannot survive."

"If there were no corrupt officials in Donglai County, we would not be so poor. The prefect is young but very courageous. He is a good official in charge. God will bless the prefect."

People's words come one after another, and more and more people gather around the notice.

News of the killing of the chief clerk of Li County spread quickly.

However, the news only caused a sensation. A few days later, the news that the Li County Chief Clerk was killed subsided and disappeared from the mouths of the people, and almost rarely appeared again.

At this moment, on December 10th, news came out of the government office again.

Two soldiers holding gongs shouted while beating the gongs, and then headed towards the south gate.

After the news came out, it caused a sensation. After a few days, there was news of the murder of corrupt officials again. This situation shocked the people and even more witnessed Wang Yan's determination.

After the notice was posted, the middle-aged man in shabby Confucian uniform squeezed in again.

After reading it, the middle-aged man signaled the people to be quiet.

When the people calmed down, the middle-aged man narrowed his eyes slightly and said slowly: "The notice said that Lord Shi A inspected Luxiang County and found that the chief clerk and Gongcao of Luxiang County had underestimated the county magistrate. Moreover, the two raised the price of grain and hoarded the grain, causing the people of Luxiang County to complain, and countless people starved to death. After Lord Shi A was verified, he killed the two on the spot."

boom

In an instant, the people were in a sensation.

Countless people are smiling happily. For them, they rely on the weather for their own income. When the harvest is good, even if the government oppresses it, they can survive and will not go hungry. Once the harvest is bad and they encounter exploitation by corrupt officials, they will really not be able to live.

This kind of experience has been experienced by all people from ordinary families.

Their resentment towards corrupt officials comes from their bones.

When they heard that two more corrupt officials in Luxiang County were killed, they were extremely excited.

The middle-aged man looked a little proud and said again: "At the end of the notice, the prefect also said that he would never tolerate corrupt officials and found that one was killed. Once the latest news was sent back, he would announce it immediately."

The people nodded one after another, looking forward to more corrupt officials being beheaded.

After the second notice was released, a strange phenomenon occurred. Every day, people would go to the south gate to see if there were new notices under the city tower.

Day after day, it's like this every day.

On December 16th, on this day, when the soldiers carrying the gong walked out of the government office with the notice, as the gong sounded, the city suddenly became boiling, and countless people actually walked out of the house and ran straight towards the south gate.

When the soldiers arrived at the South Gate, countless people were looking forward to it.

The notice was posted. After the soldiers left, the middle-aged man walked forward in the same shabby Confucian uniform. The people around him had no words and stared quietly.

After a while, the middle-aged man faced all the people and said loudly: "The notice said that the commander of the country bullied the weak, relied on his control of the army to bully men and dominate men and women, and even married twenty-three concubines and occupied the fertile land of countless people. After verified it, Lord Shi Ah made it clear that he did not fear the difficulties and directly led his army into the military camp and killed the commander of the country in front of the soldiers."

A burst of cheers resounded at the city gate.

At this moment, the people not only respect Wang Yan, but also believe in Wang Yan from the bottom of their hearts, because Wang Yan kept executing corrupt officials from all over the country, which was on their side.

As the news spread continuously, the people actually formed a tacit understanding.

The government was also very punctual. Every few days, a notice would be posted, announcing the news that corrupt officials in various counties in Donglai County were beheaded. There was even news that the prime minister of Yeguo was corrupt and abused and was killed. The news of the prime minister of a marquis was killed, and the news spread in Huang County and even Donglai County, causing a sensation like an earthquake.

As time goes by, Wang Yan's prestige and credibility in the hearts of the people are increasing dramatically.

The people all recognize and believe in Wang Yan, especially the people in Huang County, who have food, clothing and clothes throughout the winter. Although they don’t eat well and don’t wear gorgeous clothes, at least they won’t be starved to death because of the cold weather. The people are even more grateful and even believe in Wang Yan crazily.

The news keeps repeating, and the people are getting used to it.

It seems that it is abnormal to post the news that the corrupt official was killed.

On December 28th, the government office.

On this day, Wang Yan summoned his officials to discuss matters and arranged the government affairs for the next period of time. Then, he informed his subordinates of the eighth day of the first lunar month to tell his people. After learning about the news, Guo Jia, Jia Xu and others asked to go one after another. Huang Zhong and Hu Zhao, as well as civil officials and military generals, also proposed to go to Linzi County.

After some discussion, Wang Yan decided that Hu Zhao and Huang Zhong would stay in Huang County, and the rest of the civil servants and generals could go together.

However, Hu Zhao and Huang Zhong stayed behind for the time being. When the wedding date approached, they arranged the military and political affairs of Donglai County before they set off for Linzi County. After all, Huang County cannot be empty for a long time.
