Chapter 264 Worth Being Treated
Author: Moon Earth Moon Earth
Next, Gu Xi was busy quelling the rebellion and disaster relief, and it was basically very smooth. The rebels and refugees from all over the country also responded similarly to those in Dongyang County and other places.
However, there is a place called Wuchang County. The rebel army was very fierce and hated the imperial court.
Even though they were shocked by the Golden Dragon spacecraft first, after learning that Gu Xi and the others were from the court, the shock caused by the Golden Dragon disappeared immediately, and they resisted fiercely.
The reason is that the Tang County Magistrate of Wuchang County, who had previously exploited and exploited the people here too ruthlessly. Not to mention making decisions for the people, he was the biggest disaster here.
He bullies men and women, sells children, and encroaches on land. He does everything he wants. Moreover, he uses his power to increase taxes privately and collects corvee labor to build a palace for him to enjoy.
He thought he was the local emperor!
The officials above were not unaware of what he did, but this person was willing to spend money to respect him, so the people above turned a blind eye.
Some time ago, some farmers here couldn't stand it anymore and began to resist and wanted to kill the Tang County Magistrate.
However, this man got the news and ran fast enough that the rebels could not kill him.
Before Gu Xi came here, she had already learned about some situations through surveillance, so before she arrived, she stopped the Golden Dragon Spaceship and asked someone to arrest the County Magistrate Tang.
The whereabouts of the county magistrate Tang can be easily captured through the monitoring system, so it is easy to catch him.
Therefore, when facing these fiercely rebel troops, Gu Xi directly threw the Tang County Magistrate out.
"The dog official you mentioned is this person. I will hand him over to you and let you deal with it." Gu Xi said,
"I will let him spit out the money he has embezzled over the years. The officials who have collected his money to protect him will also arrest them one by one and confiscate their property to compensate you.
But there is one thing that the Palace cannot do, that is, your dead relatives, and I am sorry.
This palace knows that you have no trust in the court and hate and fear the officials of the court. However, please try to trust this palace for the last time.
This palace and the emperor will not let such beasts become officials again. Perhaps you will still suffer injustice in the future, but if you really have grievances, I can guarantee that you will never let you sue and die injustice!"
As Gu Xi threw the county magistrate Tang out and with her sincere words, many rebel soldiers took the initiative to put down their weapons and couldn't help but cover their faces and burst into tears.
And those refugees were crying.
Because they seemed to have seen a glimmer of light in the desperate darkness.
These refugees cried in despair and grievance, which made Gu Xi feel a little sad and a little sad.
Many officials accompanying him felt the same, and they also felt a sense of shame and pressure.
"What you said is true? You really can deal with those corrupt officials?"
The leader of the rebel army was a thin young man. He did not cry and asked Gu Xi with a serious expression.
"At the latest day after tomorrow, I will arrest all the officials related to this beast and send them here to execute."
Gu Xi said.
The thin young man was stunned and then knelt down, saying neither humble nor arrogant,
"Xi Empress! Caomin gathered the people to rebel and was willing to die. But please let these people go. They are really suffering. They are all desperate and have to rebel with Caomin."
Gu Xi looked at the young man in front of him and thought of some of the scenes he saw from the surveillance. He also felt loving talent for a moment, and said,
"I know you. Your name is Song Jie. You are a scholar. You have a talented person and have a plan. You are very popular with the people here. How old are you this year? Have you passed the imperial examination? Who else is there in your family?"
Song Jie was not surprised to hear Gu Xi say his message. He knew that the queen had some extraordinary means.
After receiving the promise that the other party would deal with the corrupt officials, he also changed his mind about the current imperial court and such an empress, and no longer blindly hated and disgusted.
Therefore, when he heard Gu Xi's question, he also responded respectfully.
"Great Empress, Cao Min is just over 20 years old and is a scholar at the age of 16. She wanted to take the Juren exam last year, but the bride at home was taken by the beast Tang County Magistrate, and committed suicide after being humiliated!
Caomin wanted to go to Beijing to file a lawsuit, but as soon as he left the county town, he was captured by the magistrate of Tang and wanted to silence Caomin.
Caomin was lucky enough to be saved to survive.
After Cao Min secretly came back, he learned that his parents at home were also arrested and died tragically in prison!
Caomin was really sad and angry, and knew very well that now that officials were protecting each other, Caomin might not be able to punish the magistrate of Tang County if he went to the capital.
Therefore, in order to avenge, Caomin began to contact people to rebel…”
Gu Xi was silent after hearing this.
She didn't expect Song Jie's life to be so miserable.
Song Jie smiled bitterly and pointed at the group of people behind him.
"Empress, Caomin was killed by the magistrate of Tang County, but Caomin is not the worst. They are all like this, and they all have deep blood hatred!"
Gu Xi felt a little suffocated.
The other officials and the imperial guards all showed sympathy and wanted to kill the Tang County Magistrate who was fainting.
It's so beastly!
"I thought it was simple before. I didn't know that others were suffering, so don't advise others to be kind."
Gu Xi sighed and looked at Song Jie and said,
"From today on, you will be the county magistrate here. Perhaps no one except you, who can come here to be a county magistrate, will not get into the hearts of the people and will not relieve their pain, but you should be able to."
Song Jie, “???”
Not only will he not die, he was also directly recognized as the county magistrate?!!
Song Jie was completely confused, in a daze, staring at Gu Xi blankly, forgetting his words.
"Wuwuwu...Thank you, Empress, you are a good person, you are a good lady!"
Everyone behind Song Jie kowtowed excitedly and thanked him very much.
Once again, they truly felt that the Queen was really thinking about them, so endless gratitude burst out in their hearts.
At this time, Gu Xi also felt the warmth in her soul, as if a warm current surrounded her.
[Beauty, these people have too strong mental power, they really appreciate you!]
Gu Xi felt more and more complicated when she saw the system's words.
She just did what she should do, but these people were so grateful.
They deserve to be treated kindly!
In the days that followed, Gu Xi would feel this warm current from time to time.
Every time, the system will give her a reminder, for example, the refugees are extremely grateful to her because they drink meat porridge.
For example, because the refugees were assigned to the fields and good seeds, many of them set up the archway of immortality for Gu Xi at home.
For example, it was because Gu Xi dealt with corrupt officials, and the people ignited hope and couldn't help but be grateful to her.
Gu Xi,...
