In the back hall of the county government office, Li Hui was sitting on a pony, with his left foot raised and grinning to suck in the air-conditioning.
The injured foot was severely swollen, and it was currently resting on Ah Zhu's knee. Ah Zhu dipped her small hands in spirits and was rubbing the swollen area for Li Hui, hoping to reduce the swelling for Li Hui and then bandage it. Because Li Hui
Hui is about to go out.
Although Azhu's technique was very gentle, Li Hui still grimaced in pain. Guo Dazhuang, who was leaning on the corridor and watching the excitement, chuckled.
"Da Zhuang, you still dare to laugh at me. If you hadn't acted decisively last night, how could I have sprained my foot? I will punish you by not eating for a day." Li Hui said angrily.
Guo Dazhuang was startled and hurriedly begged: "Don't, Xiaolang, it's my fault. You can punish me however you want, but don't deny people food."
Azhu chuckled and said, "Young master, you can punish him in any way. If you don't let Da Zhuang eat, isn't it the same as killing him?"
Guo Dazhuang nodded and said, "That's right, you might as well kill me."
Li Hui laughed, waved his hand and said: "Go get the mule out and hitch it to the cart. I'm afraid I can't walk with my feet, so I have to ride in the cart. Maybe you should be punished as a mule and carry me on your back for a few days until my feet
alright."
Guo Dazhuang nodded hurriedly and said: "I accept this punishment."
Li Hui smiled and waved, and Guo Dazhuang went to the front yard to prepare the car.
Ah Zhu rubbed it with strong wine for a while. Li Hui's ankle felt warm and seemed to be less painful. So he said: "Okay, you can wrap it in cloth to fix it. Don't wrap it too thick, don't wait until you put on the boots."
Not on."
Azhu said: "I know."
After saying that, he took out the strip of cloth and carefully fixed Li Hui's injured foot, bandaging it layer by layer very carefully.
"Fortunately, I only sprained my foot. I won't be able to jump around next time. How can I jump down from a height of more than ten feet?" Azhu said while bandaging.
Li Hui smiled and said: "This must be the fifth time. I didn't expect you to be really verbose. My mother is not as verbose as you."
Ah Zhu blushed and said, "Ah Zhu is just worried. If the young master doesn't like to hear it, Ah Zhu just doesn't say anything."
Li Hui smiled and remembered what happened when he came back last night. A'Zhu found that her face was covered with blood, and she was carried in by Dachun and the others, and she immediately started crying in worry. Li Hui knew that she was indeed
Really worried about myself.
Later, when I found out that I had just sprained my foot and that I was able to get things done, I burst into tears and laughed. She was really just a little girl.
"Okay, let's try on the boots." Azhu picked up the boots and carefully put them on for Li Hui. Li Hui stood up with her shoulders, limped two steps, and nodded to express satisfaction.
As long as the joint is fixed, the swelling of this kind of sprain will subside in a few days and it will be no serious problem. The important thing is not to use force and not to be stressed when walking. So I am afraid I can only ride in the car and rely on others to carry me back and forth these days.
But such a small injury is actually nothing. In addition to myself, two other nurses were injured last night, but none of them were fatal. They suffered knife wounds on their arms and legs, and one of them may have lost an arm. Compared with them, I am nothing.
Fortunately, Li Hui was very satisfied with being able to achieve his goal at such a small cost. This was due to accurate intelligence, proper arrangements, decisive actions, and accurate understanding of Zhou Che.
"Xiao Lang, the car is ready. Zhou Che and his people are also here to invite you. Are you leaving now?" Zhao Dachun came in a hurry and asked loudly.
Li Hui nodded and said: "You can leave. Azhu, you come too. How can you not come to such a scene? I will teach you what big things were done last night. Things have changed in Juchao County."
Azhu nodded happily, hurried back to his room, put on his hat, and followed Li Hui and others to the front yard.
Zhou Che and a dozen people stood in the courtyard, and when they saw Li Hui, they all stepped forward to salute.
Li Hui smiled and said: "Everything has been arranged? Have the people been notified?"
Zhou Che said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Lord County Magistrate, everything has been arranged. The people have gathered in Dongcheng Square one after another. I sent people to inform them door to door."
Li Hui nodded and said: "Very good. Then hurry up and explain these things to the people. Today and tomorrow, we will transport all the supplies and food on the island back. There are a lot of things ahead, and we will be busy for a while.
Already."
Zhou Che smiled and said, "Don't be afraid. Being so busy makes me feel at ease. County Magistrate... no... County Magistrate, don't worry, you just give the order, and I will arrange the other things properly."
Li Hui nodded, leaned close to him and whispered: "Those people, there's nothing strange about them, right?"
Zhou Che said in a low voice: "Don't worry, Sir, the tree will fall and the hozen will scatter. Although some of Wang Guangzu's best friends are dissatisfied, they can't make big waves. I will have a heart-to-heart talk with them later and persuade them. If they are really stubborn, I will
Just clear it out.”
Li Hui nodded and said: "After this period of work, I will talk to them. We will talk about these things later. Do the things in front of you first. Things have priorities. Don't rush. Otherwise, rushing will cause chaos. First, calm the people.
Do a good job in providing relief and resettlement, and then go back and deal with other matters one by one."
…
In the square inside the east city gate, a large number of people have gathered here. The people in the city and the refugees have been notified and told that the acting county magistrate summoned everyone to announce the important event.
After hearing the rumors not long ago, all the people knew that something big was going on. So almost all the people in the city came one after another to help the elderly and children.
When Li Hui drove along the long street to Dongcheng Square, there were many people on the street. It was the first time that Li Hui saw so many people on the street since he came to Juchao County. This kind of people
The feeling of people coming and going made Li Hui very happy. He hoped that this small county would no longer be lifeless and could regain its vitality as soon as possible.
It was past half time and almost all the people had arrived. Li Hui stood at the entrance of the wooden platform and bowed to everyone.
"My fellow villagers, please be polite. I, Li Hui, am the county magistrate of this county and am now the county magistrate."
"County Magistrate Li is polite." All the people shouted, some saluted and some pulled back their skirts.
Li Hui nodded and said: "I have called all the fellow villagers here today because I have important things to announce to you. But before announcing these things, I would like to sincerely apologize to all the fellow villagers. Not only to the people of this county, but also to the people of this county.
I would like to express my apologies to the folks who came down from the north. The imperial court did not take good care of them, which made you suffer. In such a cold weather, you were short of clothes and frightened, and you were humiliated by the Feng Heizi Lake bandits and Wang Guangzu.
Exploitation is the responsibility of the imperial court, and it is also my responsibility. Therefore, on behalf of the imperial court, I, Li Hui, sincerely apologize to you. Everything is our responsibility."
After Li Hui said this, he bowed his head to the ground and couldn't stand up for a long time.
The people looked at this scene and started talking. Some sighed, some were disdainful, and some wiped away tears remembering the suffering they had suffered.
Li Hui stood up straight and said loudly: "Everyone, from today on, I, Li Hui, promise you that as long as I, Li Hui, are here for one day, I will not let you suffer, suffer from cold or hunger, so that you can spend it in peace.
Despite the difficulties, I can live and work in peace and contentment in my Juchao County and take root. I no longer have to worry about being bullied by others."
The common people showed excited expressions after hearing this, and someone shouted loudly: "County Magistrate Li, you must keep your word and don't lie to us. Poor people like us can't stand the trouble anymore."
Li Hui said loudly: "I swear to God that I will never break my promise. If I break my promise, you can point your finger at me and scold me. Although I come from Wu County, I also come from a poor family, and I know the hardships of the poor people.
Painful. There is absolutely no deceit in what I say."
"Okay, with County Magistrate Li's words, we can feel relieved."
"It turns out that County Magistrate Li comes from a poor family and is one of his own."
"It's better now. Our hard days are over."
When the people heard this, they started talking happily and showed excitement on their faces.
Li Hui waved his hands and said loudly: "Now, I want to announce a few things to you fellow villagers. The first thing is that the evil-doing lake bandit Feng Heizi and his gang have been destroyed. We killed them all in one pot the night before yesterday and during the day yesterday.
Even the lair on the island in the middle of the lake was raided. All the lake bandits were killed, captured, and annihilated. Feng Heizi drowned in the moat, and his body was fished out. It was hard and dead.
I can't die anymore. From now on, you no longer have to worry about the viciousness, exploitation and bullying of the lake bandits."
Although everyone already knew the news, Li Hui still aroused cheers after announcing it. This was a formal announcement, indicating that the Feng Heizi gang had indeed been annihilated.
"Thank God, the damn Feng Heizi and his gang were finally wiped out. Thank God."
"It's great. I can finally go fishing in the lake without having to hand over 50% of my catch to them. But they are hurting me."
"My Yu'er can rest in peace now, wu wu wu, Yu'er, you died so miserably. That damn Feng Heizi is finally dead."
The common people started shouting one after another, saying that their homes had been invaded by lake bandits and people had died. At this moment, the great revenge had been avenged, and they all began to cry with excitement.
Li Hui waited for everyone to calm down a little, signaled the crowd to be silent, and said loudly: "Dear fellow villagers, the second thing is that Wang Guangzu was killed by me last night. This man ignored the court and brazenly killed Magistrate Lu.
He committed a capital crime. In addition, he always bullied the people, bullied men and women, and his behavior was no different from that of a bandit. Therefore, I executed him. From now on, the refugee militia was disbanded on the spot, and relevant people who were willing to work as errands were merged into the county.
From now on, there will be no generals, no army of refugees, only the Juchao County Yamen. Anyone who uses other banners to cause trouble will be reported to the county government hall by beating drums.
.I will investigate and deal with it severely and will never tolerate it."
The people burst into cheers. Li Xiancheng confirmed the news of Wang Guangzu's death, which made the people feel good. Wang Guangzu's behavior since entering the city is indeed no different from that of a gangster, and the people have suffered greatly. This guy is dead, and again
Except for one harm.
What's more, it was just now that we learned that the magistrate Lu who came before was killed by Wang Guangzu, which was even more punishable by death.
For the refugees who went south, the feeling was even deeper. In order to better enslave and control them, Wang Guangzu refused to arrange accommodation for them and refused to let them interact with the local people. He controlled them with two meals of gruel a day and made them live in peace.
In an extremely miserable situation.
Now that he is dead, how can we not cheer for joy?
