Chen Sheng waited outside the South City Gate until all the officials he named arrived at the South City Gate to start relief work, and then he led the soldiers into the city.

"Sir, are you going back to the county office or back home?"

Chen Dao rushed to Chen Sheng's side and asked in a low voice.

"Return home..."

Chen Sheng muttered softly.

Since he officially entered the county government office, he has not returned home for five or six days. I don't know how my eldest sister should miss him at home.

But he still shook his head and chuckled: "Go to the East City Gate and have a look!"

Judging by the time, all the officials he assigned should have arrived at the four city gates to start the work he assigned.

The East Gate, leading to Changyi, should have the largest number of refugees among the four gates.

Chen Dao cupped his hands and accepted the order, turned his horse's head, and ordered three hundred soldiers to escort Chen Sheng to the east city gate.

…

"A pariah who can kill a thousand swords!"

The little official in brown clothes with a fat head and big ears, with a swollen belly and angrily waving his horsewhip to beat the crowd in front of him: "Go one by one, go one by one, all your listeners will be fucked."

Is it blocked?"

The shrunken and crowded crowd was like a flock of sheep that were constantly changing shape as he whipped them, dodging his whip while pushing desperately forward, but they were still unable to line up as he commanded.

No one wants to leave.

Because a large cauldron has been set up under the walls on both sides of the city gate. The smoke from the burning firewood mixes with the faint water vapor from the cauldron and floats into the chaotic crowd of refugees... Everyone

They all inhaled desperately, sniffing greedily at the slightest hint of food aroma amid the strong body odor.

Even whether the whip will fall on you is not that important.

The fat-headed and big-eared little official in brown clothes was so weak that he couldn't achieve any results. He was looking forward to returning home from work, eating well, drinking spicy food, and sleeping well, but he was led by a fool to say a word.

The resentment of working overtime among the stinking homeless community was brought out, and it started to burn like a fire, just like adding fuel to the fire.

He threw down the riding whip in his hand, took two steps, snatched Zhang Er Chang Ge from the county soldiers who were maintaining order, and started to pick it up in the crowded crowd: "Go one by one, go one by one...

"

The sharp Chang Ge brought up clumps of tangled hair and strings of blood beads.

Mu Ran once again desperately surged towards the place that Chang Ge could not reach.

But it's just a surge.

And several broken bodies, whose life and death were unknown, were lying in the center of the open space, bleeding quietly...

No anger.

No sadness.

Even the suppressed cries were inaudible.

The little official in brown clothes chopped down seven or eight people in a row, and finally vented all the anger in his heart.

Panting, he put down the Changge, held it with both hands and took a few breaths of air. Then he pointed at the seven or eight broken bodies in the center of the open space, whose life and death were unknown, and laughed "haha" at the many colleagues who were busy around him, as if taking credit.

He said: "Second and third sons, please look, today's staple food is a two-legged sheep!"

"hehe."

All the officials shrugged their shoulders and chuckled.

The many county soldiers who were maintaining order around them just glanced at the broken bodies with expressionless faces, and then moved their eyes away as if nothing had happened.

Some don’t even bother to take a look…

"Bah bang bang."

A leisurely round of applause suddenly broke into the midst of many gentle laughters.

Many officials turned around in response and saw a young face wearing soldier's armor, with an ashen complexion, walking from the shadow under the city gate into the evening sun.

"You guys, please give me a good face!"

He slowly looked at the officials and county soldiers around him and spoke word by word.

If it wasn't Chen Sheng who came from the south city gate, who was it?

Before these officials and county soldiers recognized him.

Two rows of armored soldiers rushed out from both sides behind him, holding their long swords at an angle.

The official who finally saw him suddenly woke up, pinched the hem of his palm in panic, and shouted: "I pay my respects to you, sir."

grown ups?

Which sir?

Which adult is so young?

All the officials and soldiers were stunned for a moment, suddenly waking up from a dream, and they all bowed and cupped their hands: "My lord, please pay homage to me!"

Amidst the crowds of people bowing and cupping their hands, thousands of refugees looked at the tall and upright young figure with dull eyes.

There was no wailing.

There were no complaints.

There wasn't even a whisper of discussion.

In a place where one or two thousand people gathered together, there were only the footsteps of three hundred soldiers and the begging for mercy of the brown-clothed official who was knocked to the ground by several soldiers.

They just looked at Chen Sheng quietly...

Thousands of identical numb faces.

Thousands of identical dull eyes.

Just like thousands of sharp swords.

Chen Sheng was deeply hurt.

He looked left and then again.

Suddenly he laughed and said: "You guys, why are you so dissatisfied? I am the one who distributes food to you, and they are just errands for me. Why are you so afraid of them? If they beat you, you just beat them.

If they want to kill you, just kill them!"

He laughed.

He shook his head.

It seems to be a joke.

He walked up to the young man in brown clothes who was pushed to the ground by several soldiers, and slowly squatted down.

The fat-headed and big-eared little official in brown clothes still looked as arrogant as before. His face was as pale as paper, and his whole body was sweating like pulp. He still begged for mercy: "Sir, please forgive me, sir, please forgive me. It's true that these unruly people are too disobedient to listen to my subordinates' instructions. I'm sorry."

The official had no choice but to make this decision. Please forgive me, my lord, please spare your life..."

"Hey, stop for a moment!"

Chen Sheng smiled and put the index finger of his right hand on the palm of his left hand, making a pause gesture, then asked: "Brother, where are you from?"

When the fat-headed and big-eared official in brown clothes heard this, he immediately seemed to have grasped some life-saving straw and hurriedly replied: "Reporting to your lord, this official is from the third house of Wangjiazhuang. Please forgive me..."

"oh……"

Chen Sheng stood up with a smile and interrupted his continued begging for mercy: "Okay, I already know who to ask for debt collection... pull him down and cook him!"

He said lightly.

"only."

The soldiers holding down the young man in brown clothes responded in unison, blocked the mouth of the young man in brown clothes who was still begging for mercy, and pulled him towards the blazing cauldrons under the wall.

Although they are also county soldiers.

But after participating in the flag presentation ceremony of the Red Army and hearing Chen Sheng's shocking remarks, they were already different from other county soldiers!

They have also become the seeds sown by Chen Sheng, and they can only follow Chen Sheng's orders!

Many refugees around watched as a group of tall and powerful soldiers carried the fat-headed and big-eared clerk away, just like a few butchers carrying a big fat pig to the stove.

There was finally a glimmer of light in the depths of the empty and dull eyes in the mouth of the cauldron!

But at this moment, another group of soldiers escorted an old scribe with a high crown and a doctorate quickly walked out from under the city gate hole, and shouted loudly from a distance: "My lord, wait a minute, my lord, wait a minute... You are still waiting."

Stop it quickly!"

The few soldiers who were escorting the brown-robed official saw the momentum of the visitor and couldn't help but stop and look at Chen Sheng.

Chen Sheng looked at the visitor, couldn't help but hugged his arms, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

The many refugees who were watching this scene saw that the gleam of light that had just lit up in the depths of their eyes was extinguished in an instant!

Without this glimmer of light, the eyes became even darker...

The visitor dismounted from his horse a long way away, hunched his back and walked quickly to Chen Sheng, clasped his palms to the bottom and said: "Your Majesty, Li Si, pay my respects to you!"

Chen Sheng did not reach out to help him, but said lightly: "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Li, please get up!"

His attitude towards Li Si has always been so lukewarm, so Li Si didn't think much about it. He stood up, stepped forward, and whispered in Chen Sheng's ear: "Sir, you must not act like this in front of

Killing officials in front of so many people!"

"oh?"

Chen Sheng turned his face and looked at him in surprise: "Why?"

Li Si: "Have you ever been an official before?"

Chen Sheng shook his head: "No, this is the first time!"

Li Si nodded, waving to him and said: "I have the courage to teach you a thing or two... The sage said that the people can follow it, but they cannot know it. The officials are under the control of the officials, and the people are under the supervision of the officials, just like shepherds and hounds, and hounds and hounds.

Sheep, killing officials for the people not only damages the administration of officials, but also damages the principles of the people. If this continues, the officials will no longer be in charge, and the people will not be able to recover!"

"oh……"

Chen Sheng, as if suddenly enlightened, stretched out his voice and said in a weird voice: "In the final analysis, you are just afraid of death!"

Li Si was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't understand the meaning of Chen Sheng's words. Before he could speak, he heard Chen Sheng whisper meaningfully again: "Speaking of which, Mr. Li came very quickly. He sent people to pay attention to my movements."

Bar?"

After saying that, he turned to look at the soldiers on the other side who were waiting for his order, and shouted angrily: "What are you guys doing standing still? Why don't you cook him for me quickly!"

Li Si, who had not yet regained consciousness, was shocked when he heard this. He hurriedly stepped forward again, and raised his voice eagerly: "My lord..."

Chen Sheng turned around fiercely and interrupted him rudely: "What? Mr. Li also feels cold? Do you want to roll up and down in the cauldron?"

Facing his fiercely glaring eyes, Li Si's heart trembled, and he swallowed the word "si" abruptly, and said secretly: "Come on, let's go, it's not enough to make a plan!"

He lowered his eyebrows and lowered his head, took a step back, and bowed his head to the end, his posture extremely submissive.

Seeing this, Chen Sheng chuckled lightly, turned to face the many refugees and laughed loudly: "Second Son, today I'm going to treat you to a big dish, soup and soup. You must give me some face and eat three big dishes."

bowl!"

Thousands of refugees stared at him intently, and a certain kind of extinguished light rekindled with a "thumb" sound, burning more and more intensely!

Chen Sheng watched the light in their eyes.

Watch the look of sorrow on their numb faces.

After taking a long breath, he said in a long and solemn voice: "My name is Chen Sheng, your county governor, your parent officer!"

"From now on, all officials in Chen County must fulfill their duties and benefit the country!"

"Those who are slacking off in their duties, let go!"

"If you oppress good people, be punished!"

"Those who take human life seriously shall be killed!"

"From now on, all the citizens of Chen County who have been wronged by being oppressed by powerful nobles can go to the county government office to beat drums and complain about their grievances!"

"Anyone who dares to obstruct the grievances will be killed!"

"You dare to rob and kill those who complain against you, you will massacre your clan!

"I want to see it!"

"How dark is the sky in Chen County!"

"How hard are your heads?"

He shouted angrily with murderous intent.

Li Si, who had his head bowed on one side, could feel the menacing eyes looking at him like knives, and he was moaning in his heart!

You can just name me!

But facing his fierce eyes, he had to bite the bullet, bowed his head again, and said in a long and respectful voice: "Wei!"

As soon as the words fell, all the officials and county soldiers outside the east city gate bowed and cupped their hands, shouting in unison: "Wei!"

Thousands of refugees around him silently stared at the tall figure standing among countless bent people.

I don’t know who took the lead. Rows and rows of refugees faced Chen Sheng, bowed to the bottom, and shouted in a mournful voice: "Greetings, sir!"

"Thank you, sir, for making the decision for us!"

"The success of a great man in Chen County is like a sudden rain after a long drought!"

Amid the chaos of shouting, Chen Dao held a scroll of bamboo slips in one hand and a bowl of millet porridge from the large cauldrons under the wall in the other. He walked up to Chen Sheng and presented it to him with both hands.

Chen Sheng first picked up the bamboo slips, opened it and glanced at it twice, and then glanced at the bowl of millet porridge in Chen Dao's hand that was so clear that a human figure could be seen in it.

Then he threw the bamboo slip in front of Li Si, who was still bowing to one side, and said "Mr. Li, please don't disappoint me." He turned around amid thousands of bows and strode towards the city.

Seeing this, Chen Dao quickly put the broken pottery bowl into Li Si's hand, turned around and held the knife and quickly followed Chen Sheng's footsteps.

Li Si picked up the bamboo slips on the ground, unfolded them and took a look, and saw the record on the bamboo slips: "On September 16th, outside the east city gate, ten cauldrons were placed, consuming thousands of kilograms of grain to help the desolate people, and the thick porridge can be served with chopsticks...

"

Finally, I looked at the bowl of millet porridge in my hand, which was clear and watery, and let out a long sigh.

Zhu Zi is not enough to make a plan!

I tried my best to put the tiger in a cage, but you kept feeding him live food?

…

"Sir, are you going back to the county office?"

After Chen Dao escorted Chen Sheng back to the city, he cupped his fists and asked for instructions.

Chen Sheng looked in the direction of the Nancheng County Government Office, then in the direction of Changningfang in the North City, shook his head and said, "Forget it, go back home."

"Here!"

Chen Dao took the order, turned around and commanded the three hundred soldiers to divert to Changningfang in the North City.

After he gave the order, Chen Sheng slowed down his horse, walked side by side with Chen Dao, and asked: "Uncle Dao, how is the cleaning up at the South Camp?"

Chen Dao thought for a moment and then said: "It will take another five or six days."

Chen Sheng thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "Otherwise, we can start recruiting troops tomorrow while a large number of refugees have returned to the city recently!"

Chen Dao frowned and thought for a moment, then asked in a low voice: "Only make up for three thousand?"

"What can three thousand help with?"

Chen Sheng shook his head slowly: "Now that the Yellow Turbans are in full swing, the state government is probably hoping that the counties will recruit more soldiers to defend against the Yellow Turbans... maybe five thousand!"

Chen Dao glanced at him with a headache, and he knew that Chen Sheng would not simply fill the gap in the county soldiers.

He hesitated for a long time, then gritted his teeth and nodded: "Five thousand is five thousand!"

Chen Sheng smiled and nodded, and finally said: "These three hundred soldiers will be allocated from the county soldiers to guard my entry and exit."

Chen Dao nodded without thinking. He had already intended to do this and would only talk about it after returning home. Now that Chen Sheng had taken the initiative to mention it, he deserved nothing.

He sat on horseback and patrolled around, shouting: "Ji Bu!"

"The mark is on!"

A tall and strong young soldier walked quickly to his side, cupped his fists and said, "Sir."

Chen Sheng took a closer look and saw that it was the soldier who had clearly described the situation outside the south city gate to him when he returned to the city before...Ji Bu? Why does this man sound so different from ordinary people?

Chen Dao looked at him solemnly and shouted in a low voice: "The county guard wants to transfer you and others to the county government to accompany you. From now on, you will be the five hundred generals. You will lead the soldiers under your command to protect you. If anything goes wrong,

Come and see me!"

The tall and strong young soldier was overjoyed when he heard this. He bowed his arms to the end regardless of his armor. He was so excited that he said incoherently: "Please don't worry, Lord Cao. I'm here, but I'm still breathing. No one can hurt the governor."
