Next, Gu Xi was busy with fighting the chaos and providing disaster relief. Basically everything went smoothly, and the reactions of the rebels and refugees in various places were similar to those in Dongyang County and other places.

However, there is a place called Wuchang County, where the rebel army is very fierce and hates the imperial court.

Even though they were intimidated by the Golden Dragon spaceship first, after learning that Gu Xi and the others belonged to the imperial court, the shock caused by the Golden Dragon disappeared immediately, and they resisted fiercely.

The reason is that the previous Magistrate Tang of Wuchang County exploited and squeezed the people here too hard, not to mention making decisions for the people, he is the biggest scourge here.

He bullies men and women, sells children, invades fields, and commits all kinds of crimes. Moreover, he also uses his power to increase taxes privately, and recruits corvees to build a palace for himself for his own enjoyment.

It's as if he is the emperor of the land!

It's not that the officials above don't know what he's doing, but this person is willing to spend money to honor him, so the people above turn a blind eye to him.

Some time ago, some farmers here couldn't take it anymore and started to resist, wanting to kill the magistrate Tang.

However, this man got the news and ran fast enough that the rebel army failed to kill him.

Before Gu Xi came here, she had already learned some things 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 rebels who resisted fiercely, Gu Xi directly threw the magistrate Tang out.

"The dog official you are talking about is this person, I will hand him over to you and let you dispose of him." Gu Xi said,
"How much money he has embezzled over the years, I will let him spit it out to you. Those officials who took his money and protected him, I will also arrest them one by one, and confiscate their property to compensate you.

But there is one thing I can't do, that is your dead relatives, I can't bring them back to life, I'm sorry.

I know that you no longer trust the imperial court, and you also hate and fear the officials of the imperial court, but please try to trust me one last time.

This palace and the emperor will not allow such a beast to be an official again, maybe you will still suffer injustice in the future, but if you really have wronged, this palace can guarantee that you will never be allowed to sue without a place, and you will be wronged and die! "

Following Gu Xi's throwing out Magistrate Tang, and following her sincere words, many rebels put down their weapons and couldn't help crying bitterly.

And those refugees were also crying.

Because they seem to have really seen a ray of light in the darkness of despair.

The desperate and wronged cries of these refugees made Gu Xi a little heartbroken and a little sad.

Many officials accompanying him felt the same way, and they also felt a sense of shame and pressure.

"What you said is true? Are you really going to deal with those corrupt officials?"

The leader of the rebel army was a thin young man. He didn't cry, but asked Gu Xi seriously.

"The day after tomorrow at the latest, I will arrest all the officials related to this beast and send them here for execution."

Gu Xi said.

The thin young man was stunned, then knelt down, neither humble nor overbearing,
"Thank you, Empress! The grassroots gathered the people to rebel, and they were willing to die, but please spare these people. They are really suffering. They were desperate and had to follow the grassroots to rebel."

Gu Xi looked at the young man in front of him, and thought of some of the pictures he saw from the surveillance, and for a while, he became fond of talents, and said,

"I know you. Your name is Song Jie. You were born as a scholar. You have learned a lot, and you have plans. You are loved by the people here. How old are you this year? Have you passed the Juren exam? Who else is in your family?"

Song Jie was not surprised to hear Gu Xi tell his information, he knew that this empress had some extraordinary means.

After getting the other party's promise to deal with corrupt officials, he also changed his view of the current imperial court and such empresses, instead of blindly hating and loathing them.

So, when he heard Gu Xi's question, he answered respectfully,
"Back to your mother, Caomin just turned 16, a [-]-year-old scholar, and wanted to take part in the human examination last year, but the bride in the family was taken away by the bastard Tang County Magistrate, and committed suicide after being insulted!
Caomin wanted to go to Beijing to file a complaint, but he was arrested by Tang county magistrate as soon as he left the county, and wanted to silence Caomin.

The grass people were lucky enough to be rescued, so they survived.

After Cao Min sneaked back, he learned that his parents had also been arrested and died tragically in prison!

Caomin was really sad and angry, and he knew that now that officials and officials are protecting each other, Caomin may not be able to cure Tang county magistrate even if he went to the capital.

Therefore, in order to avenge the grassroots, they began to contact people to rebel..."

Gu Xi fell silent after hearing this.

She didn't expect Song Jie's life to be so miserable.

Song Jie let out a miserable laugh, and casually pointed at the group of people behind him,

"Mother, the grass people were killed by the county magistrate Tang, but the grass people are not the worst, they are all like this, and they all have blood feuds!"

Gu Xi felt a little suffocated.

The other accompanying officials and the imperial guards all showed sympathy, and they all wanted to kill the magistrate Tang who fainted aside.

It's too beastly!
"Before, I thought it was simple. I don't know the suffering of others, so don't persuade others to be kind."

Gu Xi sighed, looked at Song Jie and said,
"From today onwards, you are the county magistrate here. Maybe other than you, no one else can get into the hearts of the people and heal their pain, but you should be able to."

Song Jie, "???"

Not only will he not die, but he will be directly recognized as the county magistrate? ! !
Song Jie was completely dazed, in a trance, staring blankly at Gu Xi, forgetting to speak.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo up empress!"

The people behind Song Jie kowtowed excitedly and expressed their gratitude.

Once again, they truly felt that the Empress really cared 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's thoughts are really too strong, they are really, really grateful to you! 】

When Gu Xi saw what the system said, his mood became more and more complicated.

She just did what she should do, but these people are so grateful.

They deserve to be treated well!
In the next few days, 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 very grateful to her for drinking the meat porridge.

For example, because the refugees were allocated fields and improved seeds, many people set up longevity memorial archways for Gu Xi at home.

Another example is that because Gu Xi dealt with corrupt officials, the people raised hope and couldn't help but be grateful to her.

Gu Xi,...

She thinks she can do better!
