The thin wooden door retracted in the violent impact. Xue Keer stepped in angrily, rushed to Xu Kang and said: "How can you agree to let Zou Yuan and Diao Chan come to make trouble for me? No.

Do you know that I am very busy right now?"

Xu Kang hurriedly stretched out his hands to press down, and comforted: "Calm down, I just thought you were too busy, so I found two helpers for you."

"Help? They are so young, what can they help me with?"

Xu Kang said helplessly: "You're not that big either. You have to give people a chance and then you can judge whether it's right or not after trying it."

Xue Ker'er blushed when he heard this, but still retorted: "But, what if something goes wrong? Some of the things we are doing now cannot be seen at all. What if they find out?

"

"It will be okay." Xu Kang said: "I have already thought about it. You can give each of them a store to manage for a while. The overall situation still depends on you. If you think they are trustworthy in the future, you can give them

Just adjust it to your side."

However, Xue Keer did not buy his account and told his conspiracy, "I know that you are obsessed with Zou Yuan and Xiu'er and want to bring them into the room, so you test them like this. This

I have no objection at all. But Cai Yan is engaged, how dare you touch her."

Xu Kang immediately called Chong Tianqu and said: "Heaven and Earth Conscience, this matter was brought up by Xiu'er and has nothing to do with me. I just see that you are too busy, so I want to find someone capable for you."

Helper? You used to always work with men, which was always a bit inconvenient. Zou Yuan and the others each have their own advantages, and they will definitely be able to help you in the future."

Xue Ke'er snorted and said, "If you really see me as pitiful, you should take over your responsibilities, and then I will naturally feel much more relaxed."

Xu Kang immediately said: "Then I'm not too pitiful."

In short, the matter was forcibly finalized by Xu Kang, and Xue Kerr finally agreed to his request. Zou Yuan was assigned to the grain store to be responsible for purchasing and shipping goods because he was good at household affairs and people's livelihood. Diao Chan is the best at understanding people's hearts, so Ke'er will

The management of the inn was handed over to her. As for Cai Yan, she was a well-known talented woman in the aristocratic circles of the capital, so Baoshan House was really the best place for her.

After dealing with all this, Xun You received news that the imperial court had issued a new decree. Xu Kang was ordered to lead his soldiers to supervise the construction of the Chang'an city wall.

You must know that Chang'an City has been abandoned for nearly two hundred years. Although people have been sent to maintain it, as the capital of the country, it is still lacking in momentum. Therefore, the imperial court specially recruited 20,000 laborers this time to rebuild the entire Chang'an City wall.

Reinforce and make it taller.

At this time, the Liangzhou army was either transferred to the county to maintain public security, or to the east to defend against possible attacks by the Shandong family. Therefore, it can be said that the garrison in Chang'an City was quite limited. It happened that Xu Kang's army had few soldiers due to the small number of soldiers.

There was something to do, so I was assigned this task.

Xu Kang didn't complain at all. He took the imperial edict and went to the court officials in charge of the project.

Looking at the fat and arrogant high-ranking official in front of him, Xu Kang didn't bother to make friends with him. The two briefly discussed the distribution of soldiers, and Xu Kang took his leave.

Xu Kang's main task was to prevent migrant workers from gathering to make trouble, so he had to disperse the troops to several construction sites to facilitate management and surveillance.

If everything was safe and sound, his task would be extremely easy. But it turned out that Xu Kang's luck was not that great. Something was bound to happen wherever he went. As expected, it was soon reported that officials were embezzling migrant workers' rations.

scandal.

You must know that these hardworking farmers have no wages. They abandon the farm work at home. The only benefit they receive is that they can have a full meal while working. Now they can't even do this, which naturally triggers

The migrant workers were extremely dissatisfied.

Soon thousands of migrant workers gathered, demanding reissue of rations and punishment of corrupt officials who had deducted food. Affected by this, most other people stopped to watch the movement, so that the entire project had to be stopped.

After hearing about the incident, Xu Kang immediately rushed to the scene of the incident with hundreds of soldiers. After roughly understanding the situation, his first thing was to arrest the leader of the trouble.

At this time, probably feeling that the imperial army had taken control of the situation, more than a dozen project leaders showed up one after another. The leader was the fat official Xu Kang had met at the beginning. As soon as this person arrived, he immediately loudly rebuked the migrant workers for their rebellion.

At the same time, he ordered Xu Kang to arrest everyone. Anyone who disobeyed could be suppressed on the spot. He even threatened to sue Xu Kang for dereliction of duty if he did not do so, because he was responsible for the safety of the project.

Xu Kang was furious in his heart. You are a corrupt official who has stolen workers' rations and caused public outrage. You dare to accuse me, but you just kept your face and said: "This matter is of great importance and must be investigated strictly. All officials involved will be detained."

We will deal with it after the matter comes to light."

The fat official immediately jumped to his feet and said: "How dare you? I am an official of the imperial court. Except for the emperor's decree, no one dares to touch me. Besides, as a military general, what qualifications do you have to take care of civil affairs?"

"If this matter is not handled properly, it can easily lead to civil unrest. Since the safety of Chang'an City is at stake, it is natural to obey the authority urgently. Now, I have no choice but to aggrieve you, sir." After Xu Kang finished speaking, he immediately ordered his soldiers to detain him.

.At the same time, they sent troops to search out their copywriting accounts.

These officials were also bold and did not think that anyone would interfere with their own business, so the accounts were messed up. Xu Kang heard that in order to check the accounts clearly, he had to check them page by page. I am afraid he would have to wait until tomorrow to get the exact result. But

Where does he have the patience?

After learning that these officials had indeed committed acts of embezzlement, Xu Kang did not say much and immediately ordered all the officials involved to be beheaded. At the same time, those who took the lead in making trouble were also killed.

Seeing more than a dozen heads hanging up, Xu Kang jumped onto a high wooden frame and shouted loudly to more than a thousand protesters: "Folks, I know it was these corrupt officials who deducted your rations, and you had no choice but to do this."

Today's wrong decision is not your fault. Now I have put these corrupt officials to justice on the spot to show the country's prestige. But mistakes are mistakes after all. You gathered people to make trouble, which is unacceptable under the national law, so I have to behead a few of them to show the public.

But I can guarantee that this matter is over, the prisoner has been punished on the spot, and no one else will be held accountable. Now, let’s all disperse.”

Seeing that the officials involved in the case were killed, most of the migrant workers' grievances disappeared, and Xu Kang expressed his intention to let go of the past. In addition, several of the people who led the trouble were dead. These migrant workers lost their backbone and could no longer unite. Therefore, under Xu Kang's

After some reassurance and reassurance, they quickly dispersed.

The incident subsided in time, but Xu Kang had to submit a confession to the superiors. Of course, the crisis described in the document was exaggerated by him, so as to highlight his wise decision-making in the face of danger, and at the same time, it could be regarded as a way to kill the imperial court without asking for instructions.

The official defended the matter.
