Seeing Gu Zhengchen's leaving figure, Qianhu Yu Siye, Qu Huan and others were shocked.
The scribe Yang Jing shivered and felt a chill on his back.
While calming Lu, he licked his lips and found that even his throat was a little dry.
Lin Baifan looked at the frail figure walking away outside the door with a look of reverence on his face. This is the real power, the power to decide life or death with a single word!
Chu Xing bowed his hands to Huang Senping, said nothing, and hurriedly left with Meng Wanli.
Huang Senping sat on the main seat, looked at the generals majestically, and said slowly: "The man from Gu County has been appointed as the prefect of Quanzhou by decree, and he also has the power to control the Quanzhou guards. Everyone, please listen clearly. In my absence, nothing will be decided. You can ask Mr. Gu County!"
Yu Siye's eyes widened and he couldn't believe it.
A prefect actually has the power to control local military camps!
It’s moderation, not supervision!
The general can establish authority, the soldiers can be controlled, the orders can be trusted, and both offense and defense can be achieved!
The general beats this drum himself, so that the three armies can listen to his restraint.
Temperance means to govern and command!
In other words, Gu Zhengchen is the real top officer of Quanzhou Guard, and even Huang Senping needs to obey his orders!
Yang Jing's face was pale, and in his heart ten thousand grass and mud horses were running past.
Damn, Gu Zhengchen is pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger. Zhou Yuan is really unlucky. Even if the court doesn't call Huang Senping, with Gu Zhengchen's wisdom and methods, Zhou Yuan will not be able to defeat him. Sooner or later he will be defeated. Play to death...
Huang Senping personally supervised the execution.
Before Zhou Yuan died, he was still shouting: "You have no right to kill me. The only one in the world who can kill me is the emperor! I am the founding hero of the country. I participated in the pacification of Chen Youding, wiped out pirates, and killed Japanese pirates..."
Huang Senping watched Zhou Yuan struggling there without saying a word.
In fact, what Zhou Yuan said was not wrong, he did have merit.
But having merit is not the same as having an iron ticket to avoid death. When the court was discussing merit and rewards, it did not give you the Zhou Yuan iron ticket, which shows that your contribution is not big enough or outstanding enough.
There are too many beheadings committed now. Just ordering a sergeant to pretend to be a pirate to cause trouble in the place is enough to behead. What's more, you want to rebel, blockade the Quanzhou Health Office, and didn't drag your wife and son over. It is already a huge mercy for you to go to Naihe Bridge.
"kill!"
Huang Senping looked at the sun and felt a little hungry, so he gave the order.
The sergeant waved the ghost-headed sword.
The sun shone on the blade, flashing a white light.
Cut it off!
The heads rolled down and blood spurted out like pillars.
Zhou Yuan blinked, his eyes immediately dispersed, and the world became colorless.
Cai Ye watched Zhou Yuan's head really being chopped off. Before he could shout a word, the head was already on his head.
Huang Senping carried out Gu Zhengchen's order thoroughly and hung the heads of Zhou Yuan and Cai Ye on long poles. He summoned all the sergeants of the Quanzhou Guard, pointed at the heads high up and shouted: "The Quanzhou Guards shoulder the responsibility of Quanzhou Prefecture." The safety of the people is the biggest basis for the people to farm, fish and hunt, and live safely! Whether the people can sleep peacefully depends on whether the Quanzhou Guard can drive away the pirates and prevent them from committing crimes again! "
"But Zhou Yuan actually ignored the great trust of the court and ordered the sergeants to harm the people. These evil thieves have already been executed! Now I will give you three days to think about it clearly. Those who are greedy should hand it over in full. Those who have committed crimes should take the initiative to explain. See For the sake of your repentance, you can still be lenient, but if some people don’t listen to the advice and think that what they do is perfect, hey, it’s best to look up and take a look at these two heads first!”
"I can kill Zhou Yuan and Cai Ye, and naturally I can also kill people with unforgivable crimes! From today on, the guard camp will make every effort to rectify it! No gambling equipment is allowed to appear, let alone gambling! Secondly, it is not allowed to be on duty. Drinking alcohol! The third prohibition is not to use the army as a slave, and drive it like an animal! The fourth prohibition is..."
One by one, the clear orders reached the ears of the soldiers clearly and unmistakably.
Yu Siye looked at Huang Senping. It was obvious that he had been preparing for this day for a long time, and he just missed the chance to speak out.
finally!
The Quanzhou Guards can stand upright. This place will no longer be a person's power field, and the sergeants will no longer be slaves, but a weapon to defend the people of Quanzhou Prefecture!
I have been waiting for this day for a long time!
Along the roadside, the grass withered.
Chu Xing stopped and clasped his fists at Gu Zhengchen who was standing beside him: "Don't worry, little brother Gu, I will forward this letter and these words to Marquis Jinghai! It's just that I have a doubt, I don't know if I should talk about it or not."
"But there's no harm in talking."
Gu Zhengchen returned the courtesy.
Chu Xing looked around and saw other people in the distance, so he asked: "The imperial court has banned the sea. You and I both know this. Now you suddenly want to transfer a group of ships through Jinghaihou, or Dafu Ship, do you want it?" There are quite a lot of them, so they can’t go out to sea to fish, right?”
Under the policy of banning the sea, the Navy could not go out to sea even if it gave Quanzhou Prefecture a number of ships. Even if you sneak out, don't even think about coming back, you will be sunk or captured by the navy.
Gu Zhengchen looked deeply at Chu Xing. After getting along with him several times, he was sure that this person was trustworthy.
After all, Chu Xing was a fellow commander of the Huai'an Guards. He had nothing to do with the wealthy gentry and powerful clans in Quanzhou Prefecture, and had no interest entanglements. In addition, he was stationed at the port for a long time and went to sea from time to time, so he had no time to deal with local affairs.
Gu Zhengchen came to Chu Xing's side and whispered: "The imperial court's ban on the sea is only a temporary policy, not a long-term policy. When Your Majesty was still the King of Wu, didn't he mention anything about the sea ban? Without the sea, what would happen to the people of Quanzhou Prefecture? Affording food, how to live a good life, in the final analysis, the sea is their lifeblood, if the sea is banned, this place will continue to be depressed."
Chu Xing frowned: "I'm afraid it won't be easy to handle this matter. Where is the emperor..."
Gu Zhengchen raised his hand and said with a smile: "One day, when I leave Quanzhou Prefecture, there will be thousands of sails at the port to see me off! Brother Chu doesn't need to worry about the rest."
Chu Xing saw Gu Zhengchen's relaxed face and a smile appeared on his lips.
Although the person in front of him is young, he is an invisible presence. From the fact that he sat in the chief seat of the Quanzhou Guard without any burden, he knew that the emperor had given him the power to control the Quanzhou Guard.
When he was in Jurong, he was still in charge of the Jurong guards in front of the county magistrate.
When I came to Quanzhou, it was not enough to serve as the prefect, but I also took charge of the Quanzhou guards...
Among the current local prefects of the imperial court, who can hold both civil and military power at the same time? No, I can't find such a special prefect!
Chu Xing knew that the emperor trusted and valued this man very much. Maybe he could really break through the barriers of the forbidden sea and restore the glory of Quanzhou Port! ..??m
"This road is not easy, but it is worth taking! But there is help, just ask!"
Chu Xing said solemnly.
Gu Zhengchen nodded slightly: "Without the help of the navy, this road will not work."
Chu Xing clasped his fists and turned to leave.
Gu Zhengchen watched Chu Xing, Meng Wanli and others go away, then turned around and said to Qin Song, Mei Hong and others: "You have been out during this period, have you basically investigated clearly?"
Qin Song said seriously: "The names on the book have been basically investigated clearly. Some people are afraid of finding evidence of corruption and transfer property overnight, which is just changing money from one yard to another."
Gu Zhengchen's mouth moved slightly: "Thank you for your hard work."
Qin Song scratched his head and smiled.
It's impossible not to work hard. Zhang Pei and Xiao Cheng are personal guards, so they work very hard. But these brothers on the periphery have a harder time. They need to keep an eye on this and that, during the day and at night. They need to pull threads here and look for horse tracks there. They also need to arrange people to act as guards. After all, there are still some people locked up in the yard.
A dozen people are doing the work of dozens of people, which is really not easy.
Gu Zhengchen admired this group of men. Although they suffered for a while, it was not without gain.
Jinjiang City and Quanzhou Prefecture are a huge training ground for them. They have learned how to disguise, how to track, how to counter-track, how to spy on intelligence, make insinuations, and investigate news. These skills are in Jurong Guard It’s hard to learn in the institute.
Gu Zhengchen raised his hands, placed his left palm on his right fist, exerted a slight force, and made a sound of joints: "Let's go, it's time to get back the prefect's seal."
Xiao Cheng chuckled and said, "Gao Huigao has not gone far enough to participate in politics. If he goes back now, he will probably fight back."
Gu Zhengchen laughed loudly: "If he has the ability, then try taking the seal from my hand again."
Xiao Cheng saw Gu Zhengchen's high spirits and knew that he had made up his mind, so he was also happy: "In that case, let's start rectifying Quanzhou Mansion."
Sentencing Yang Baiju to death, punishing officials and servants in the government office with sticks, and redressing the injustice of the people are just the appetizer.
The real highlight is after controlling the Quanzhou Guard.
On Fuyaqian Street, the originally lively street gradually became quieter. Some customers who were shopping stopped arguing with the stall owners. The stall owners took the goods in their hands and turned to look.
Pedestrians on the road seemed to have sensed something, and turned sideways one after another. Some people consciously retreated to both sides of the road to make way.
"This is--"
"It's Magistrate Gu!"
"Gu Qingtian is here!"
Everyone looked sideways and saw a young man wearing a red official robe and a black veil walking from the south side of the street. The cloud geese on his chest were very conspicuous.
Xiao Cheng and Zhang Pei followed Gu Zhengchen one step behind, and lined up on the left and right. One held the waist knife with his left hand, and the other held the waist knife with the right hand. Qin Song, Mei Hong and other six people were divided into two queues and followed slowly, holding water and fire sticks in their hands.
Gu Zhengchen walked with firm steps and without squinting, passed through the crowd, crossed the street, and arrived at the gate of the government office.
When the yamen officer Huang Tudui saw Gu Zhengchen approaching in a menacing manner, his expression changed drastically and he ran back to the second hall to report.
Qin Xin and Wu Kang were drinking tea. When they saw the loess pile in such panic, they couldn't help but look at each other, feeling uneasy in their hearts.
"Prefect Gu, he, he is back from outside!"
Huang Tudui shouted.
Wu Kang frowned: "If he leaves the government office, he will naturally come back from outside. What's the fuss?"
Luotui was stunned for a moment.
Yes, no one restricts Gu Zhengchen's freedom. He can run out whenever he wants and come back whenever he wants. No one can restrain him.
So what are you afraid of?
Just because Gu Zhengchen came back wearing official uniform?
That's not the case, he is the prefect, so it's normal to wear official uniforms.
Momentum, yes, momentum.
That aura does not look like someone who has gone back to the government office to take a nap, but more like someone who has come to the government office to clean up people and make plans...
