The operation of the county government, under his long-term almost "hands-off" rule, has long formed a very reasonable and efficient process.
Not to mention Wang Hezhi took over.
This old master, even though he has been hiding in the county school, if he really wants to be in power, Xu Chong feels that he is not a problem at all.
It’s just that I love teaching and educating people more.
Besides the county government, the only one left is the Xu Mansion.
Zhao Liu did not have the conditions and qualifications to take over as Dian Shi. Xu Chong originally wanted to recruit him to be the housekeeper of the Xu Mansion, so that those industrial houses could be managed by trustworthy people.
But Zhao Liu refused, fearing that Xu Chong's family business would be ruined, so he insisted on continuing to be his yamen servant.
Helpless, Xu Chong could only promote the concierge Lao Guo as a housekeeper.
Like the housekeeper Lao Li, Lao Guo is an old man who has been here since the beginning of the Xu Mansion. He has long been familiar with various affairs in the house and has no problem managing a house.
As for the property, there won't be any big problems if the household clerk can help.
But to Xu Chong, this is just a trivial matter.
With his current strength and means, he can easily build a family business that is far larger than the Xu family, but there is no need for that.
What he really cares about is Third Master’s study.
It's the books in the study.
There are many mysteries about Xu Youan, and the only most intuitive clues left are those books.
After such a long time, Xu Chong read it intermittently and remembered it firmly in his mind.
What’s really special about it?
Probably just two.
One is that the outbreak of natural disasters is becoming more and more frequent, and whenever they occur, they cover an entire province.
The other is that Daqing has always been Daqing.
There are more than 20 different era names recorded in these books, which can be traced back to 1,400 years ago, but they are all Daqing era names.
There is no such thing as a previous dynasty.
Xu Chong was not surprised at all.
Who can change the world if there are obstacles in knowledge and vision?
Not to mention fourteen hundred years, he would believe Daqing's history to be ten thousand years old.
The only doubt is that the emperors of Daqing did not live long. On average, they were only over fifty and less than sixty years old.
And this is also the reason why he feels that these books cannot be kept.
After seeing the books in his collection turned into ashes and scattered across the sky and earth with all his strength, Xu Chong left and returned to the county government.
But before he could get closer, my heart suddenly tightened.
In front of the county government office.
The broad street is densely packed with people.
At a glance, it’s over a thousand.
More than a thousand people sat on the ground, surrounding the entire county government gate and the group of blood-clad guards, leaving an open space of about ten feet in the middle.
A group of blood-clothed guards pressed their sword hilts with ferocious expressions, waiting for the order from their superiors, and a massacre immediately ensued.
"Do you want to rebel?"
Yang Xiong's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and his eyes filled with murderous intent swept across the faces of the common people.
Tell the truth.
The dignified General Wei in blood-clad clothes was blocked here by a group of ordinary people who would never look at him. He really wanted to go on a killing spree.
However, this happened so suddenly and strangely that it was hard for him not to think of Wei Wuxie.
Although I can’t see any benefits involved, who can say accurately what the rebels are thinking?
Therefore, while keeping his men on alert, Yang Xiong had to lower his face and try to intimidate these people with words and eyes to scare them away.
Unfortunately, it has no effect.
Those who met his eyes were so horrified that their faces turned pale and they quickly lowered their heads.
But even so, they still sat there without any intention of leaving.
"My lord, please do not misunderstand me."
An old man sat in the front seat with a crutch wrapped in starch across his knees. "My ancestors, Mr. Xu, have been serious Daqing citizens for generations. How could I want to rebel? Moreover, if I want to rebel,
We will not sit down and let ourselves be chopped up with knives, so please be careful."
The words were spoken very fluently, and there was no hint of fear in them.
In fact, Old Man Xu just asked his son to greet his family.
But who would have known that this matter was like ink dripping into water, and it spread throughout the streets and alleys in a very short time.
There are many more people than expected, and the courage is much greater than before.
"Then what are you going to do?"
Yang Xiong had a cold face and asked vigilantly: "Sue an official? Are there so many grievances in this small county?"
"My lord, I've got something wrong."
Old man Xu shook his head, "Since Xu Dianshi took office, there has been no injustice in Canglong, and everyone's life has become more and more promising."
"..."
Yang Xiong was speechless for a while.
It’s neither this nor that. Why on earth is this old man here?
Is it possible that Wei Wuxie really transformed?
"We are here just to ask you to give us evidence!"
Old man Xu raised his neck.
"Evidence?"
Yang Xiong looked confused and felt that his brain was not full.
Old man Xu patted his crutch angrily, "The old man was hiding nearby and heard it. Xu Dianshi personally told that boy Zhao Liu that he will leave with you today!"
"That's right."
Yang Xiong nodded, but still didn't understand, "What's the problem?"
"What's the problem?!"
Old Man Xu became even more excited, "Last time you came, the city was closed and people died."
"Okay, we accept this."
"Even if you continue to block the city this time, we will accept it."
"The worst case scenario is the same as last time. We old guys will die first. At least we can survive until you are gone, and the younger children can still have a good life."
"But you want to arrest Xu Dianshi?!"
"Do you know how many years we in Canglong have been waiting for an official like this who can make everyone live a good life?"
"Yes!"
"You are a high-ranking official. This old man is just a stinky pancake maker. He thinks he can't even compare to the ashes on your shoes."
"But if you don't have evidence, you will arrest people... The old man agrees. Can you ask everyone if they agree?"
The whole place fell into silence.
Then it was like a landslide!
"——No promise!"
More than a thousand people roared in unison, and the scene was extremely spectacular.
Old Man Xu became more courageous again.
"If you don't have evidence of Xu Dianshi's crime, my lord, you can either go back the way you came from, or..."
Bangdang.
The crutch was thrown in front of the phalanx.
"Use this, the old man's bloody stench is not worthy of the adult's knife."
After Old Man Xu finished speaking, he closed his eyes and lowered his head, as if he was about to kill him.
Bangdang...
Bangdang...
Bangdang...
A series of collision sounds sounded.
Crutches, kitchen knives, scissors, saws, hoes, rakes...all kinds of kitchen utensils, farm tools, and tools were thrown in front of everyone.
Then the place became quiet.
More than a thousand people, like old man Xu, had their eyes closed and their heads lowered.
At this time, Yang Xiong was extremely furious.
He finally figured out that these people thought they were going to arrest Xu Chong and came to seek justice for Xu Chong. They should have nothing to do with Wei Wuxie.
Obviously this is just a misunderstanding.
But he didn't want to at all, and he didn't bother to explain.
Because the current scene is enough to become evidence of a civil uprising.
Civil uprising?
That is treason.
So.
"According to the Qing law, those who conspire against the nine clans will be punished!"
Yang Xiong raised his hand and lowered it fiercely: "Kill!!!"
