Xu Guan, courtesy name Yuanyi, was born in Chun'an, Zhejiang. He was a Jinshi in the first year of Tianshun. He served successively as director of the Ministry of War, right counselor of Fujian, and governor of Liaodong. Before flood control, his main achievement was only one--fighting.

Xu Guanzu was originally a blacksmith, and he was known as "Blacksmith Xu". As the saying goes, "To make iron, you need to be hard yourself." Xu Guan is hard enough, but he is hard with softness, rough with finesse. This was not the case when he served as Fujian Right Councilor.

That's when he first showed his talent.

If Wang Shu is not afraid of power and is an upright and ruthless person, then Xu Guan is a ruthless person who is full of tricks, speaks his mind and acts resolutely. First of all, Xu Guan ruthless only does ruthless things. When he was in Fujian, he did not have any leadership.

After approval, the grain from the official warehouse was distributed to the victims, and the officer in charge of the warehouse was almost killed. At this time, when Xu Guan entered Liao, he had to face soldiers who had been living on the front line in eastern Liaoning for a long time.

When Xu Guan, who was the Right Councilor of Fujian at that time, received an imperial edict from the imperial court that he would be promoted to the right deputy censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and to patrol Liaodong, Xu Guan was dealing with the matter of soldiers and generals from Fujian trampling on the people's farmland.

When those soldiers and generals who had violated the law learned that Xu Guan was about to leave Fujian for Liaodong, they were all overjoyed to tell each other that after several years they would finally send away this living king of hell. In the past few years, as long as there is

With Xu Guan here, they couldn't exploit the oil and water of Mudleg at all. At first, they thought Xu Guan was an embroidered pillow. Later they found out that he was a human Tai Sui God. It didn't matter who your background was. No matter how hard the background was, as long as you dared to touch it

If you touch the law, I will kill you.

When Xu Guan was preparing to take office in Liaodong, he also killed all the soldiers and generals who had violated the law. This method of killing them all completely frightened the corrupt officials in Fujian.

"Master, we are about to arrive in Liaodong. The people in Liaodong are fierce and fierce, and it is one of the important towns on the nine sides. When you go back there, you have to get along well with the generals. There are some things that you can just turn a blind eye to.

, Liaodong is no better than Fujian." The person who spoke was Xu Guan's wife, and the two were on their way to Liaodong in an official car. Mrs. Xu Guan was afraid that he would make some mischief again, and those soldiers in the border areas were all

Some of the characters licking blood from the blades were too anxious to do anything.

Xu Guan slightly closed his eyes and was resting his mind. He had heard about the military style of Liaodong when he was in Fujian.

"Madam, don't worry. I will definitely not start a war again when I return to Liaodong, but only if they obey my orders and do not break the law."

When Mrs. Xu heard the first half of the sentence, "There will be no more violent wars," she thought her husband had finally turned around and was overjoyed. But when she heard the second premise, her joy instantly disappeared and her face dropped.

"Sir, why are you so serious? There are so many corrupt officials in the world. Can you kill them all by yourself? Liaodong is a border gate. All the people under your command were killed on the battlefield. What if you

If you make them angry and something happens, how will my children and I live in the future?" Mrs. Xu started to cry complainingly as she spoke.

Xu Guan quickly hugged Mrs. Xu and comforted her: "Look, why are you crying again? I promise you, can't you?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Xu wiped her tears and said, "You are a man, you must keep your word!"

Xu Guan nodded, but began to make various calculations in his heart. Liaodong was indeed a pit of fire. Not only did he have to defend the capital, he also had to control the cunning Jurchen tribes and defend against the Mongolian attacks. Especially the appearance in the past few days shocked the world.

In a major event, all the envoys of the Li Dynasty were killed and all the tributes were lost. This troublesome matter should have been handled by Ma Wensheng. But his Majesty ordered Ma Wensheng to be transferred to the capital, leaving this hot potato in his own hands...

Ma Wensheng had just left Liaodong. When the generals in Liaodong heard that the next governor was Xu Guan, they were all shocked and quickly gathered together to hold an impromptu meeting.

They had long heard of Xu Guan's reputation as a ruthless man, even worse than Ma Wensheng.

"Brothers, you all know that the next governor of Liaodong is Xu Guan. You should all know who he is, and there is no need for me to introduce him." This temporary meeting was convened at the initiative of the commander-in-chief Li Gao, and the governor Ma Wensheng was not present.

, he has the highest official position, so he should convene the generals to discuss it.

Guard Huo Si had a sad face and said sadly: "Xu Guan is nicknamed "Iron Xu". He has a tough temper and tough methods. When he comes to Liaodong, the good days of our brothers will come to an end."

"What are you afraid of? He, Xu Guan, carries one brain on two shoulders, and so do we. We are afraid of what he will do. Brothers should eat meat and drink wine. He will be his governor, and we will do ours."

Li Gao's face changed drastically when he heard this, and when he was about to start yelling and scolding him, when he saw that it was General Tong Yushi, he lost his temper instantly and smiled slightly:

"General Tong Shen should not be careless. In the second year of Chenghua, Xu Guan inspected the Gyeonggi Guard Station as usual and found many illegal activities in a thousand households. This thousand households had an official rank of fifth rank, one level higher than Xu Guan. Normally,

People just turned a blind eye. But Xu Guan dared to order a search, found out the bribery account book, and captured him in one fell swoop. Afterwards, this fifth-grade thousand household was beheaded."

"What's wrong with those five-grade thousand households? Do you know the Xichang back then?" said General Lu Chang.

"Everyone in the world knows that Xichang has a vicious reputation."

"Yes, the West Factory was a smash hit back then!"

Lu Chang chuckled and continued: "Back then, Xichang really had all the power in the world. Even Yang Ye, the commander of the Jianning Guards who reached the third rank, took it as soon as he said it would be taken. Yang Shiwei, the sixth rank official of the capital, was also implicated. At that time

The Jinyiwei Official School was on its way to Fujian. As long as the Jinyiwei arrived, all the more than a hundred members of the Yang family would lose their heads. Guess what happened in the end? Lord Xu took action decisively and ordered his men to kill all Yang Ye's family members.

After burning it down, the Yang family members could dispatch as many as they could, and all the land they belonged to was confiscated and used as taxes. This incident saved the lives of more than a hundred members of the Yang family."

"It seems that Mr. Xu is still a good official!"

"What a good official. If he becomes a good official because of Qingliu, the brothers' financial path will be cut off. He will sacrifice the future of the brothers to fulfill his Qingliu name. I will not do this!" Tong Yu, the general, scolded.

.

Seeing this, Li Gao had no choice but to say patiently: "The purpose of calling everyone here today is to restrain yourself, and let those who work privately as servants as servants as they should, and return those who occupy land privately to the people as they should.

, Xu Guan is no better than Governor Ma or Governor Liu. If something happens, I can’t protect you! According to time, Xu Guan will arrive in Liaodong tomorrow. By then, you and I will go ten miles out of the city to greet you. It just so happens that Xu Guan will arrive in Liaodong.

The governor looked at the majesty of our Liaodong generals.

"I want you to go, but I won't go. Who is Xu Guan? He deserves to be sent ten miles out of the city to meet him. Lord Commander, when you go tomorrow, please ask for a leave for me." General Tong Yu crossed his legs and looked cold.

Hum.

When the generals who accompanied Tong Yu saw it, they all followed suit and shouted, "If General Tong doesn't go, we won't go either. The people named Xu will be shut out."

Li Gao knew that Tong Yu was very powerful in the army and was very popular among the generals. If he didn't go, he might not have many people willing to go out with him to meet Xu Guan.

However, Xu Guannai was a border official appointed by the Holy Emperor. It was his first time to take office. If he was not given face, his brothers would not have a good life in the future, and he, the commander-in-chief, would not be able to show off his face.

Li Gao spread his hands and smiled and said: "General Tong, why do you have to do this? You can go with me tomorrow to show Xu Guan some face. After all, it is your first time. You have to leave a good impression on others."

Tong Yu stood up and declined: "Commander, it would be me, Tong, who would not give you face. I really don't want to see Xu Guan's face. I have been in poor health recently, so I will leave first."

When the other generals saw Tong Yu getting up and leaving, they also clasped their fists and saluted and left. Seeing that there were only a few people left in the lobby, Li Gao felt complicated. He had always been a bare commander, but only had the title of commander-in-chief.

On May 17, Xu Guan, the right censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and governor of Liaodong, came to Liaoyang, the capital of Liaodong. The commander-in-chief Li Gao led a group of generals ten miles out of the city to greet him.

As soon as Xu Guan led his wife out of the carriage with a smile, he heard, "The last general has met the governor and met his wife." All the generals except Li Gao saluted in unison. "

When Mrs. Xu saw so many people coming to greet Xu Guan and herself, she immediately felt more favorable towards Liao Di. She said with a smile: "Everyone, get up. I didn't expect you to come so far. Thank you for your hard work. I'll do this for Xu."

General thanks everyone!"

Xu Guan glanced around and saw that the number of people who came was much less. He couldn't help but ask: "Xu just went to his post according to the order, but he actually bothered General Li to come out of the city to greet him in person. Thank you for your hard work! All the generals are here.

Yet?"

When Li Gao heard this, he looked embarrassed and said with a smile: "Brother Xu, there are still some brothers who have caught the cold and have not recovered yet, so they did not come with me."

"Oh~ It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, we still need you all to work together to manage Liaodi today."

"Brother Xu, please come into the city. We have prepared a banquet for you." Li Gao turned sideways and made an invitation gesture.

Xu Guan touched his belly and laughed loudly: "Listening to what you said, I am really hungry. Please..."

…

When the people of Liaoyang heard that today was the arrival of the new governor, they were all curious and wanted to see what the new governor looked like. After all, the quality of one parent's official position could determine whether the people of Liaoyang would live a good life or a hard life. At this time, Liaoyang

The streets in the city were already crowded with people. Seeing how enthusiastic the people were, Xu Guan could not avoid them, so he got off the carriage and went out in person to thank many people.

"This is the governor. He has kind eyebrows and kind eyes. You can tell he is a good official at first sight!"

"Yes, this is the same as the previous Governor Ma. They are both amiable and have no official airs at all!"

In the crowd, one person sneered and spat and cursed: "Is this Xu Guan fucking sick? What's the point of talking to these mud-legged people?"

At this moment, a miserable cry echoed through the sky.

"Daughter, you died so miserably!"

"These dog officials are all corrupt and perverting the law. Dogs eat their conscience...
