After Wang Can finished speaking, he continued: "Especially, you know clearly that the sword in my hand is the Emperor's Sword. However, you insist on committing murder. Shouldn't someone like you be killed?"
"Don't kill me!"
Zhu Yiqun begged for mercy: "County Magistrate Wang, if you want money, I will give you money; if you want power, I will give you power and will not interfere with your government affairs; if you want women, I can find women for you. I only ask Magistrate Wang, if you can
Hold your hand high."
"unnecessary!"
Wang Can flicked his sleeves and said: "Your money is so filthy. What's the use of your money? Your power comes from the emperor. I have the emperor's support, so why do you need to give me power? As for women, I don't even need them."
.”
When Zhu Yiqun heard Wang Can's words, he was completely furious.
Wang Can deceived others too much.
He had already given in so far, but Wang Can was approaching step by step and refused to let go.
"Wang Can, I will fight with you."
Zhu Yiqun put his hand on his sword and pulled out the sword from his waist. Speaking of which, although Zhu Yiqun has been in peace for a long time, he is the governor of a border county after all, and he still has some foundation in martial arts. Even if he saw Wang Can
It was powerful, but when a person was about to die, no matter how poor his martial arts skills were, he would not be willing to be killed like this, so he rushed towards Wang Can with his sword in hand.
"kill!"
Zhu Yiqun drank lowly.
After he got close to Wang Can, he slashed him with one sword. But when he swung his sword and slashed him, the pupils in his eyes suddenly shrank.
In front of me, Wang Can has disappeared.
Phew!
The next moment, a muffled sound was heard.
Wang Can had already circled behind Zhu Yiqun, and pierced Zhu Yiqun's heart with one sword. As the sword was drawn out, blood spattered, and Zhu Yiqun swayed and fell to the ground.
His body twitched twice and he lost his breath.
Wang Can turned his eyes, and the next moment, he had already landed on Zhou Qing, saying: "It's your turn."
"thump!"
Zhou Qing knelt directly on the ground and begged for mercy: "County Magistrate Wang, spare me, please spare my life!"
Wang Can said: "I will spare you. How can those innocent souls who died because of you rest in peace? You deserve to die!"
After Zhou Qing heard this, he ran out.
But Zhou Qing's speed couldn't be compared to Wang Can. He had just taken two steps when Wang Can was already behind Zhou Qing and stabbed him out with a sword. There was only a thud, Zhou Qing's heart was pierced, and his body staggered.
, then he fell forward and fell to the ground, no longer breathing any more.
After Wang Can sheathed his sword, he ordered: "Come here!"
The government officials immediately entered the house, and Wang Can said: "Drag the bodies of Zhu Yiqun and Zhou Qing down. In addition, post a notice announcing the crimes of Zhu Yiqun and Zhou Qing."
"Here!"
After the officer agreed, he immediately went to inform him.
However, the officer was shocked in his heart. He did not expect Wang Can to kill Zhu Yiqun and Zhou Qing.
Killing a county guard with a county order is simply shocking.
However, the Yamen servant heard Wang Can's words outside the hall earlier. Wang Can held the Emperor's Sword in his hand. With the sword given by the Emperor in his hand, no one dared to say anything even if Wang Can killed someone.
After the government officials retired, Wang Can immediately wrote a letter, listing the evidence of Zhu Yiqun and Zhou Qing's crimes, and then arranged for a messenger to pass through the post station to send the news to Luoyang, asking Yang Guang to rearrange the affairs of the county guard.
Regarding the killing of Zhu Yiqun, Wang Can was not worried at all that Yang Guang would deal with him.
On the one hand, Zhu Yiqun is guilty.
On the other hand, Yang Guang had already agreed to kill Wang Can first and then show off, and gave Wang Can the Emperor's Sword.
Under these two conditions, Wang Can killing someone was nothing more than a trivial matter.
After Wang Can arranged the affairs of Zhu Yiqun and others, he continued to review the cases in custody in the past. Those that should be vindicated and those that should be retried should be retried, and everything should be redressed. While Wang Can was busy, the news of Zhu Yiqun's murder also came to Liucheng County.
spread.
To the people of Liucheng County, Liu Yan and Fang Ping were cancers and villains. When they were killed, the people clapped their hands and celebrated. They were all happy and even praised Wang Can's wisdom.
But not long after, Zhu Yiqun was killed.
Zhu Yiqun was also beheaded by Wang Can.
When the people heard the news, although they cheered and encouraged, they were worried about Wang Can. After all, Wang Can was just a county magistrate, but he killed the county guard, which was tantamount to committing a crime and doing something treasonous. The people felt sorry for Zhu Yiqun.
He has never had a good impression. Although Zhu Yiqun never treated the people harshly, it was just as abhorrent that Zhu Yiqun indulged Liu Yan and Fang Ping and accepted bribes. So while the people were cheering, they were also worried about Wang Can's safety.
When the people were worried, another news came from the county government.
Although Wang Can was the magistrate of Liucheng County, he was personally appointed by the emperor. He was also given the Emperor's Sword and allowed Wang Can to kill first and then report. As soon as the news came out, the people were shocked and even cheered.
The people all called Wang Can Wang Qingtian.
Thank you Wang Can.
The news spread further and further, and Wang Can established his prestige in Liucheng County by killing Liu Yan, Fang Ping, Zhou Qing, Zhu Yiqun and others, making the people willing to believe Wang Can.
It's October and the weather is getting colder.
The weather in the north, especially in Liucheng County, is already quite cold even in October. It is fine during the day, but at night it is bitingly cold.
Now, Wang Can has not taken many measures for the time being. He just constantly adjusts the officials, replacing the capable ones with the weak ones, and arranges a group of assistant officials who can do practical things, so that the entire county government can be like an arm.
In fact, it would not be an easy task for Wang Can to arrange government officials based on his prestige alone. After all, Wang Can is new here. Prestige cannot be used as food, but Wang Can killed Liu Yan, Fang Ping, and Zhu Yiqun.
, Zhou Qing, etc., all their homes were ransacked, and all the proceeds were rushed into the county government treasury.
Therefore, the county government treasury in Liucheng County has plenty of money and food.
There is enough money to distribute salaries, especially Wang Can, who does not deduct any money, so the people below are willing to follow Wang Can's arrangements. After all, Wang Can is not only a person personally appointed by the emperor, but also has enough money.
This is the foundation of Wang Can's foundation.
"Report!"
While Wang Can was handling government affairs, a government official entered.
The yamen servant bowed and said: "Your Majesty!"
Wang Can said: "What's the matter?"
The officer replied: "Reporting to the county captain, the weather is getting cold very fast this year. Although it has not yet snowed heavily, it is expected to come soon. Even so, many people's livestock are still affected, especially refugees who have begun to gather in Liucheng County.
In previous years, this kind of thing would have to wait until the cold winter in December, but this year it will happen much earlier. Once countless refugees gather in Liucheng County, I am afraid that it will easily cause unrest in Liucheng County."
If there are too many refugees, trouble will easily arise.
This is an extremely simple truth.
After Wang Can heard this, he thought for a moment and said: "Although it is not easy to farm in the north, especially Liucheng County, the geographical location is not very good, but Liucheng County is located in the north, bordering the Turks, Khitans and other barbarians.
Countless businessmen gathered together and were assassinated. In this case, we used this incident as a breakthrough point."
The yamen servants are a little confused and confused.
Wang Can said: "Go and inform Liu Chunwang to come."
"Here!"
When the yamen officer receives the order, he immediately goes to inform him.
Liu Chunwang, now the magistrate of Liucheng County, was promoted by Wang Can as his deputy.
After a while, Liu Chunwang entered and bowed.
Wang Can took out a picture, handed it to Liu Chunwang, and said: "This is the market I plan to build, specifically for the Hu people and merchants from the Western Regions to trade, and also for the Han merchants to do business here. As long as the shops are rented,
, you can do business here. As an official of Liucheng County, I will ensure his safety. As long as they abide by the law, I will welcome them."
"According to my plan, the construction of this market will cover an area of up to 500 acres. To build it, especially if it needs to be built in a hurry, many people need to participate."
"It just so happens that now the cold winter is approaching, and countless more refugees are coming."
"Then recruit refugees to work."
Wang Can said: "As long as every refugee is willing to work, he will be given a certain amount of money every day and take care of a lunch at noon. In this way, it is guaranteed that the refugees and even the people in Liucheng County can survive the cold winter."
"Here!"
Liu Chunwang agreed immediately.
Wang Can continued: "This matter must be arranged immediately without delay."
"I understand the humble position!"
Liu Chunwang nodded.
He has been the county magistrate for some time and is familiar with Wang Can's character. As long as he follows Wang Can's rules and gets things done, everything will be fine. But if he cheats and cheats, there will definitely be no good results.
This is what Liu Chunwang figured out.
Wang Can said: "If you have any questions, you can ask them now. Don't pretend to understand."
Liu Chunwang said: "Sir, the government provides food and money, and consumes countless amounts every day. After all, we in Liucheng County only have such a small amount of money. Once it is used up, and there is no allocation from above, it will be difficult."
Wang Can said: "Even if we don't give money or food, don't these refugees have to be resettled? This will not only ensure that the refugees can survive, but also ensure that the market can be built. After the market is built, we will start
Recruit merchants. As long as our market is built, it will be a source of revenue. However, this is just a test to see how effective it is."
After Liu Chunwang heard this, he didn't say much. After all, Wang Can had already made his decision, so he didn't need to say anything more. Liu Chunwang didn't leave immediately. After thinking about it for a while, he said: "My lord, there is one more thing. In previous years,
At that time, we in Liucheng County encountered a cold winter, and the people were very sad. Similarly, the Khitan people and Turks on the northern grasslands were also in difficulty. These northern barbarians may also go south to plunder. Do we need to be prepared?
"
"Your Excellency has a kind heart and considers the people wholeheartedly."
"But if the Khitans and Turks come and break the county seat of Liucheng County, then the things you arranged will probably be completely destroyed."
"So we still have to prepare for defense."
Liu Chunwang said: "I am talking nonsense because of my humble position. I don't know whether it is appropriate or not. Please judge."
Wang Can said: "I know what you mentioned. Regarding the possible invasion of the Turks and Khitans from the south, I will arrange for defense. You don't have to worry about this matter."
"Here!"
Liu Chunwang stopped staying, turned around and left.
After Liu Chunwang retreated, Wang Can was already thinking about solutions. Not to mention, Liu Chunwang reminded Wang Can that once a large number of Huns and Turks came, things would be difficult to handle and must be handled properly.
