Chapter 426 Killing officials to establish authority

Many villagers heard that they did not have the promised clothes or food.

I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed subconsciously.

And he also doubted whether Zhu Ping could keep his promise that Danmin and scholar-peasants had equal status.

But he came down with the order of eating in the county seat.

Many people on the beach were instantly boiling.

After all, they wanted to be bullied by people on land, but they didn't expect that one day the prince of Ming Dynasty would help them stand up.

This made Zhu Ping's reputation among this group of people instantly soar to the top.

Moreover, as long as he can do what he says, he will bring the Nanyang County magistrate to justice. Those people will be one of his most loyal fans.

Zhu Ming obviously knew this, so he directly turned a small matter into a big deal.

I plan to use the head of Nanyang County Magistrate to collect a wave of loyalty.

After getting his order, the captain of the Duwei Mansion organized the villagers to set off towards the county seat.

The huge team frightened the police officers who came here to observe the situation.

Rolling and crawling, he ran towards the county seat.

Soon, the Nanyang County Magistrate found out.

Today, His Highness the King of Qin has brought nearly ten thousand people to come to trouble him.

"Is this... King Qin crazy?"

The Nanyang County Magistrate had a look of disbelief on his face and did not understand Zhu Xi's thoughts at all.

He 'lent' the grain in the county's official warehouse to a big grain merchant from Yingtian Prefecture a few days ago.

Now there is simply not enough food to prepare meals for the people.

So he had no choice but to bite the bullet and disobey Zhu Ping's orders.

Anyway, from the perspective of Nanyang County Magistrate, King Qin was not an emperor and had no official official position.

If you disobey the decree given, you will disobey it.

Just find a suitable excuse later and brush it off.

At most, he would be dismissed from office.

It's better than losing your head if the 'borrowing food' thing is exposed.

It was impossible for Zhu Yuanzhang to do so, because his ministers did not obey the orders of King Qin and killed officials at will.

The Nanyang County Magistrate thought he had figured everything out.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Ping didn't follow the routine at all and actually brought Dan Min to trouble him.

He was like an ant on a hot pot, circling back and forth in the county government lobby several times.

Finally, he looked at the policeman who reported the news and asked again: "Did you hear clearly? King Qin named me to deal with me? And he brought nearly 10,000 people with him?"

"Reporting to my lord, His Highness King Qin seems to be very angry. You'd better avoid his sharpness first."

The policeman who reported the news once again gave an affirmative answer.

He also persuaded the county magistrate to run away before anyone came.

"You are right, I cannot wait to die here."

Although the Nanyang County Magistrate couldn't figure out what happened to Zhu Ping.

But he knew that once he fell into the hands of the Dan people, he might have no chance of survival.

But just when the Nanyang County magistrate packed up his gold and silver, he planned to escape from the county to avoid the limelight.

A group of captains from the Duwei Mansion had already been waiting at the back gate of the county government office.

Then he blocked his way and sneered: "My lord, the King of Qin has said that you can't go anywhere today."

"You actually imprisoned the imperial official. Do you want to rebel? Someone come and save me!"

The Nanyang County Magistrate, who was dragged back to the county office by the captain of the Duwei Mansion, yelled in despair.

But no one in the county government office, which had been taken over by the school captain, responded to his call for help.

Not long after, the Dan people following Zhu Xi gathered outside Nanyang County.

They were worried that if tens of thousands of people entered the city, there would be uncontrollable chaos.

Therefore, Zhu Xi ordered everyone to wait outside the city. Zhou Xin, who took the first step to arrest the Nanyang County Magistrate, quickly escorted the man outside the city.

He also reported to Zhu Qiang: "Your Highness the King of Qin, there is not a grain of food in the official warehouse in the city."

"Hmph, no wonder he has to obey my king's orders. It turns out that he is afraid that a bigger crime will be exposed."

Hearing this, Zhu Ping's eyes revealed a hint of cold murderous intent.

The Nanyang County Magistrate was so frightened that he trembled subconsciously.

Then he knelt down and begged for mercy: "Your Highness King Qin, I was just confused for a moment..."

Zhu Feng didn't give the other party a chance to finish his words. He raised his foot and kicked him to the ground.

Then he took out a token and threw it to Zhou Xin and said: "Go and borrow grain from the rich households in the city and collect cloth. Remember to write down the IOU. The king will return it to them when you come to Japan."

After saying that, Zhu Xi remembered Lin Che's teachings.

He also specifically asked: "Remember, you must not take the opportunity to disturb the people, let alone use the name of the king or the captain to plunder people's property."

Although Zhu Ping didn't say what punishment he would be punished for doing these things.

But Zhou Xin is a person who knows how to measure.

It is very clear that during the period when King Qin was winning people's hearts, his image was ruined.

Even if his family is not implicated, he may not be able to escape death.

So after receiving the order, Zhou Xin summoned a few honest men and led them into the city again.

During this gap, a simple high platform was quickly built outside the city.

A long pole with a noose hanging on it was erected next to it.

When the Nanyang County Magistrate saw this pole, his whole body instantly turned into a puddle of mud.

He shouted in horror: "Your Highness, King Qin, I am an official of the imperial court who has participated in the palace examination. You have no right to kill me!"

Zhu Ping glanced coldly.

This guy is about to die and still doesn't know how to repent.

He took out Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial edict and said: "My father asked me to recruit Dan people, but I gave me the power to do things expediently."

"And you dare to resist the decree without saying anything, and you also embezzle the court's food. Even if I kill you, no one will cry out for you."

To be honest, from the moment the Nanyang County Magistrate disobeyed Zhu Fang's will.

His fate was already determined.

Not to mention that this person's hands were not clean and he actually sold every grain in the official warehouse.

Don't blame Zhu Xi. Today, he used his head to win the hearts of the people.

And if the Nanyang County Magistrate is killed, the Guancang grain case will not be investigated anymore.

After all, such a matter of embezzling food cannot be accomplished by just one county magistrate.

Killing him can still help, and it will have the effect of knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger.

Waiting for the people involved in this case to jump out on their own.

After the villagers came to the high platform built by Lin under the arrangement of the captain of the Duwei Mansion.

Zhu Xi pointed at the Nanyang County Magistrate who looked ashen.

He shouted to everyone: "Everyone, this person is the magistrate of Nanyang County. He is greedy for the food in Mo's granary."

"So I dare not follow my king's will and arrange meals for everyone."

"Scumbags like this, do you think they should be killed?"

To Zhu Ping's question, the Dan people all gave an affirmative answer.

After all, many of these people still want to become farmers.

Naturally, they don't want to. The parent official who will manage them in the future is a disgusting corrupt official.

Ever since, in the midst of damn shouting.

The magistrate of Nanyang County was hung up on a long pole.

As a result, Zhu Ping's status in the hearts of these newly conquered people is still second only to Lin Che, who suggested to His Majesty to improve their status.

Even incidentally, he won the hearts of the people of Nanyang.
