He used his long sword to hold the pirate head and head forks, and then passed through the gap of the steel fork sharp blade, piercing the pirate head's throat.

"Um..."

The pirate's mouth was bleeding, his eyes were wide open, and he wanted to scold him again, but he couldn't speak at all.

His body fell to the ground in dejection.

"The leader is dead! The leader is dead!"

"Run!"

The pirates were shocked and fled in an instant.

The young man led his men to chase him all the way, leaving only corpses all over the ground.

After a while, they came back. The villagers in the village were still standing at the entrance of the village and not coming out, and their palms were already sweating.

In their opinion, such a fight is naturally too dangerous and scary.

The young man came back with his people and bowed: "My villagers, we are the righteous men of Xiulin Castle. Most of the pirates have been killed. We still need to rush back to report to the lord. Please ask you for the corpses of these pirates."

The most prestigious person in the village was an old man. He hurried out and bowed, "Thank you for helping me save the village."

The young man smiled and said, "You are kind to you, elder, killing pirates is the duty of our people in the world."

After saying that, he didn't say much, waved his hand and hurried away with the people.

When they left, the elderly Li Zheng turned around and said to the villagers: "Everyone is working hard today and pile up the bodies of these pirates. Tomorrow morning, our whole village will go to the county government to ask for the righteous men in Xiulin Castle so that the court can also know their merits."

The villagers were constantly saying good things about Xiulin Castle.

Those who were in their prime rushed out of the village to clean up the pirate corpses. Fearing that there were still some people who died, they also hoeed the corpses lying on the ground.

In the prefecture, Zhao Dongting, Su Quandang and others discussed it until late at night before they dispersed.

However, pirates have always been stubborn in Leizhou, and they did not discuss any sure-fire plan in a short period of time.

The next morning, Zhao Dongting asked Mu Kangxun how the matter was handled by those detained nobles and gentry.

Mu Kangxun was sweating again on his forehead. He still felt scared when he remembered the incidents he apologized for those things yesterday. He thought that he was the governor of Leizhou, and the same was true for those noble families when they were at their peak. But when he went back to let those nobles go yesterday, he almost knelt down to them and called them grandpa.

Those nobles have already become domineering in this remote place in Leizhou.

Fortunately, he finally fulfilled his mission.

After brushing his sleeves and gently wiped away the sweat from his forehead, Mu Kangxun bowed and replied, "Report to the emperor, I am fortunate to be unfair to my destiny. Those nobles have all gone home yesterday."

"Um……"

Zhao Dongting was only a little relieved.

What he was worried about was that the nobles were unwilling to let go. In this way, even if the tax reduction and exemption policies were issued, they might not be able to cooperate, and there would inevitably be troubles.

Later, Lu Xiufu reported that he had carefully discussed the tax reduction and exemption policy with Xiang Dongyang and the ministers of the State Council.

Zhao Dongting asked them to submit the draft. After reading it carefully, he did not feel any omissions. He was even more happy. He immediately announced that all departments and departments should immediately write the draft and then issue it.
