On the day of tribute, major families came to the county government with carts of gold, silver, and grain.
Xu Xian and Chen Changxing led dozens of members of the Chenjiagou Self-Defense Force to greet him in front of the county government office.
Xu Xian and Chen Changxing could actually choose to wait in the county government office and find a few people to receive them.
Because the two sides have already broken up, and there is no need to be polite.
If you stay in the county government office, your safety is relatively guaranteed, and you don't need to worry about possible assassinations.
In order to see the situation better and make coping strategies at any time, Xu Xian chose to face the danger head-on.
The people in all the major families are relatively honest, and according to the prior agreement, the people who escorted the money and grain were all farmers in their fifties and sixties, with faces full of signs of time.
Because there was a lot of food to be transported, more people were needed. In order to avoid misunderstandings, Xu Xian made an agreement with the major families to transport it to the county government in batches, and only the elderly could be escorted.
Most families seemed to be relatively simple, so simple that they thought that Xu Xian would release the people after paying the ransom, but the person who came to pick them up turned out to be the successor of the family head, and he only brought five men with him as agreed.
Facing such a simple family heir, Xu Xian couldn't bear to take action.
In order to transform Taiyi County, Xu Xian never thought of being moral and was ruthless when it came time to take action.
What surprised Xu Xian was that the negotiators from the Xue family, Wei family, and Yang family who were originally suspicious turned out to be the heirs of the family head.
The only person who comes from the family is not the heir of the head of the family, but the steward of the house is the Chu family.
In order to ask questions related to Taiyi City at any time, Xu Xian invited ten know-it-alls with extensive connections in Taiyi City and asked them to stay in the county government as retainers.
The Chu family was so abnormal that Xu Xian immediately sent someone to ask a few know-it-alls.
The answer surprised Xu Xian. Chu's family was very thin. Chu Wei's wives and concubines gave birth to nine daughters in a row, and it was not until the tenth that he was born a son.
Chu Wei had a son at an old age, and the heir to the Chu family was still a ten-year-old child.
The suspicion of the Chu family has been eliminated, and the focus is still on the Xue family, Wei family and Yang family.
Without any accidents, gold, silver and grain were smoothly transported into the county government office. Xu Xian and Chen Changxing happily hosted a banquet to entertain several envoys.
During the dinner, Xue Pan bowed and said:
"Your Excellency, County Magistrate, I have an unkind request from the common people. I wonder whether I should address it or not?"
Xu Xian waved his hand and said:
“Since it’s an unkind sentiment and I’ve spoken it out, wouldn’t you be embarrassed if I disagree?
If I agree, I will definitely be embarrassed.
To avoid embarrassment for everyone, you'd better not say it yet. When you go back, you can say it loudly to the sky and embarrass the sky. "
Xue Pan did not expect that Xu Xian would not give him any face.
However, Xue Pan had no chance to say, others would definitely ask.
Therefore, Xue Panqiang suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, cupped his fists and said:
"The county magistrate is wise. To avoid embarrassment, the common people will not say anything."
After finishing speaking, Xue Pan sat down.
Wei Yu stood up, bowed to Xu Xian, and said:
"Lord County Magistrate..."
Before Wei Yu could finish speaking, Xu Xian immediately interrupted:
"Little brother, you should learn from this person. We are only talking about romance now. Anything that hurts feelings will be discussed later."
Wei Yu said:
"Your Majesty, it is clear to you that ordinary people just want to have romantic affairs with adults."
Xu Xian didn't want him to speak and said:
"I have the final say on my territory. You can't say it unless I ask you to."
Unexpectedly, Xu Xian was so unreasonable, Wei Yu sat down slumped.
Seeing that someone wanted to talk again, Xu Xian quickly said:
“Our Taiyi County is a civilized county, and everyone must be civilized and polite.
Please raise your hand before speaking.
You can speak only after you get my permission. "
As soon as Xu Xian finished speaking, everyone raised their hands.
Xu Xian's eyes slowly swept across everyone's hands raised high as if surrendering, and said:
"You have made a mistake. I am asking you to speak, not to surrender.
The correct posture for raising your hands is this, with your elbows on the table and your fingers together, that's it. "
Hearing this, everyone imitated Xu Xian's example and raised their hands.
Xu Xian nodded with satisfaction and said:
“Very good, everyone’s understanding is pretty good and they all did a great job.
Since you all have something to say, but time is limited, we cannot waste your precious time.
If you have anything to say, say it slowly to the sky after you get home. "
As soon as Xu Xian finished speaking, most of the people put down their hands, leaving only a few family head successors who continued to raise their hands.
Xu Xian said:
"You guys should learn from them, learn to shut up, and learn to give up the opportunity to speak.
After all, if you don't speak, you won't die. "
As soon as Xu Xian finished speaking, Wei Yu stood up and slapped the table, pointing his halberd and scolding angrily:
"Chen San, you, the county magistrate, have a bad background, and we haven't argued with you yet.
You were so greedy that you kidnapped my father, uncles, and gentry to make money, but we didn't care about you.
Now, we offer you money and food according to your request, but you still don't let him go, and you are totally untrustworthy. What's the point of this? "
"Pah! Pah! Pah..."
Xu Xian clapped his hands and said:
"You are more knowledgeable. I forgot your name just now. Please say it again."
Wei Yu held his head high and said proudly:
"Young master, I will not change my name in office, and I will not change my surname in office. My surname is Wei, my given name is Yu, and my courtesy name is Zhou."
Xu Xian nodded and said:
"So your name is Wei Yuyu. I remember you. I will definitely charge you with a crime in the future and kill your entire family."
Hearing this, Wei Yu said angrily:
"You can call me Wei Yu, or you can call me Wei Zhou, but you can't call me Wei Universe, that's not me."
Xu Xian said:
"It doesn't matter. I'm the biggest here and I have the final say."
Wei Yu roared:
"Your county magistrate is fake. You are not the county magistrate appointed by the imperial court."
Xu Xian said:
"Is it important? Who dares not to recognize me as the county magistrate, I will chop off his head and kill his nine tribes."
Wei Yu said angrily:
"I don't admit it, are you going to kill my nine tribes?"
Xu Xian said:
"Since you are so stubborn and stubborn, I will kill you first, and then punish your nine clans."
Wei Yu laughed loudly and said:
"You are surrounded by us, and outside, there are thousands of people surrounding the county government office.
Chen San, your end has come. "
Xu Xian, Chen Changxing and several of Chenjiagou's cronies sat at the middle table, while a total of seventy-two people from major families sat around.
Seven people faced off against seventy-two people. Xu Xian, Chen Changxing and others were really surrounded by people from major families.
As Wei Yu finished speaking, everyone stood up and looked at Xu Xian and others together, clenching their hands into fists, ready to pounce on Xu Xian and others at any time.
The power of the seventy-two people formed an invisible shock to Xu Xian, Chen Changxing and others.
Xu Xian asked with a smile on his face, his joking eyes slowly passing over everyone's faces:
"Are you really planning to take action? If you dare to take action, I'll have your master's head chopped off."
Wei Yu was confident and fearless, and said with a ferocious smile:
"If that happens, you will face our wrath and we will tear you apart."
boom!
Xu Xian stepped on the mechanism, and the ground where Xu Xian, Chen Changxing and others were sitting cracked, and people, tables and chairs fell down.
Wei Yu and others swooped over, only to find that the ground had returned to its original state, except that tables, chairs and people were missing.
boom! boom! boom! …
The window was knocked open from the outside, and dozens of bows appeared outside the window.
"You are surrounded."
Xu Xian's slightly joking face appeared outside the window and he said with a smile.
