The Female Assistant of Wei Yuyan Shuangfei

When jailer Fang learned that the person detained today intended to "assassinate the Lord" and was suspected of "inciting rebellion", he instantly turned into a cruel official.

He doesn't care whether you are plotting treason or not, but he can't care if you assassinate the adults.

He should have retired at his age, but Lord Xie appreciated his hard work and let him guard the empty cell with the same monthly salary as other constables.

This brought him some comfort in his old age, and it was like a rebirth. If Lord Xie died, he would have no way to survive.

With this in mind, prison boss Fang tried every possible means. That night he cleaned all the torture instruments in the prison with the blood of the bandits.

So much so that the next day, when Liu Bantou came to pick up the man, he couldn't help but sigh: "Old Fang! You were as heroic as ever yesterday!"

"Stop talking nonsense. Take the person away quickly, otherwise don't blame me if he dies later." Prisoner Fang said calmly.

Liu Bantou used an iron bar to poke the bandit's drooping head and said in amazement: "Tsk tsk tsk tsk, I didn't expect you were so willing to do that."

"Alright, take it away quickly." After saying this, prison boss Fang left his room.

Liu Bantou shook his head regretfully and made a gesture to the people behind him. The bailiffs quickly stepped forward and carried the bandits out.

Liu Bantou led the bandits through the city, demonstrating Xie Shuting's instructions from yesterday incisively and vividly, and occasionally talked to the people.

Along the way, many people sighed and said, "Master Xie is indeed the butcher of the underworld. He is preparing to kill again."

"Let's go! Let's go watch the fun."

As they were talking, they ran around to tell others what was happening. Soon, a large number of people came and surrounded the execution platform.

When the man was brought to the execution platform, Xie Tingwen could not help but frown and said in a deep voice: "Captain Liu! Why is this man so badly injured?"

"Reporting to the Lord, this man learned yesterday that he would be executed today, but he dared to escape from prison, so I had no choice but to resort to this last resort." Liu Bantou leaned over and said.

Sun Cheng couldn't help but twitch his mouth when he heard that. He was the head of the Criminal Court and knew his subordinates' actions very well.

But when he saw the bandit's figure, he couldn't help but persuade him: "Liu Bantou! Tell the people below that if they encounter such a thing in the end, it's enough."

"Yes!" Liu Bantou responded, stroking his hand.

Xie Tingwen had no doubts and glanced at the people watching outside the venue. Then he nodded to Sun Cheng and said, "Announce the verdict."

"Yes, my lord."

Sun Cheng stroked his hands, picked up the verdict on the table, walked slowly to the edge of the stand, and said in a deep voice: "There are bandits invading the territory and assassinating officials of the imperial court. Thank you, sir, for capturing the leader of the bandits. Today, we will be beheading him and displaying his head to the public to calm the people."

"Who did this guy assassinate?"

"The verdict says that he is an official appointed by the imperial court. Isn't that Lord Xie?"

"I just heard from Liu Bantou that it was a close call yesterday. Seven or eight yamen runners were injured. The current situation is very unstable."

"But fortunately, Laigu County is safe and secure. With Lord Xie in charge, we don't have to worry about bandits invading our borders."

Everyone was talking at once, waiting anxiously for the sun to rise. When the sun was high in the sky, Liu Bantou changed into a red robe and stood beside the bandits with a knife in his hand.

Xie Tingwen raised his eyes, glanced at the sun, and said in a deep voice: "It's noon, the execution will begin."

“Swish!~”

The cold knife passed over the neck, and a head fell onto the execution platform.

Many people hurriedly covered their eyes with their hands, but then left their fingers open to reveal a thin slit, fearing that they would miss the thrilling scene.

There was an instant exclamation from the crowd, followed by warm applause.

"Thank you, sir, for your wisdom!"

"Thank you, sir. Our Laigu County will definitely get better and better!"

Xie Tingwen watched all this with an expressionless face, but he felt uneasy in his heart. Although this incident frightened the bandits, it was not a long-term solution.

Moreover, when these bandits rebel, it is the common people at the bottom who suffer in the end.

Thinking of this, Xie Tingwen stamped the verdict with the official seal, took out a memorial from his sleeve, handed it to Sun Cheng and said, "Send someone to report this matter to the Ministry of Personnel as soon as possible."

"Yes!" Sun Cheng responded and took the memorial. He also knew that this matter was of great importance.

After executing the bandits, their heads were hung on the city wall of Laigu County, and a notice was posted to warn the people. Then the group hurried back to the county government office.

Xie Tingwen immediately summoned the chief constable Cao Zhen, the six yamen officials, and the heads of the three shifts of yamen runners, and returned to the county government to discuss countermeasures.

As soon as Xie Tingwen walked into the living room, he saw Xie Shuting sitting calmly on one side, and he felt quite relieved.

"Miss!" Everyone hurriedly greeted her by shaking hands.

"Yeah!~"

Xie Shuting nodded slightly, then bowed and said, "My daughter greets my father."

"Sit down, everyone."

Xie Tingwen waved his hand nonchalantly, and then said solemnly: "Yesterday's incident made me worried. The granary must be guarded more strictly, but it may be difficult to deal with it with the power of the government alone."

"Why not ask for help from the nearby military camp?" Zhu Gui suggested.

Sun Cheng shook his head and said in a deep voice: "The nearest place to Laigu County is Yongzhou, but I'm afraid you have forgotten about the Yongzhou Tuanlianshi."

Sun Cheng's suggestion instantly reminded everyone of the conflict they had with Wei Peng, the commander of the Yongzhou militia. If they really brought this person over, it would probably be a mixed blessing.

For a moment, everyone fell into deep thought.

At this time, Liu Bantou suddenly said, "Sir, I have a plan."

"Oh! Can you tell me about it?"

Liu Bantou looked silly for a moment, glanced at everyone, and said with a hint of embarrassment: "Sir! We can organize a civil defense team and mobilize the people to protect the granary together."

Xie Tingwen's eyes lit up and he laughed out loud, "This is a great idea! The civil defense team can not only enhance defense capabilities, but also allow the people to participate and increase their sense of security."

"Sir! I'm afraid this plan won't work."

"Master Sun! Why?" Xie Tingwen asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"grown ups!"

Sun Cheng stroked his hand and said, "Right now, the people are all taking care of the growth of sweet potatoes, and Lord Chen is also running around. If the people are organized to become a civil defense team, the crops in the fields will probably be reduced in yield."

What Sun Cheng said was not without reason. After all, the survival of the people was also very important at the moment. These sweet potatoes were related to the lives of tens of thousands of people in Laigu County, and Xie Tingwen did not dare to be careless.

"Father! Actually, it's not impossible to form a civil defense team."

"Yeah!~"

Xie Tingwen was startled and asked hurriedly, "Shu Ting! Do you have any solution?"

Everyone's eyes were inexplicably focused on Xie Shuting, and their eyes were filled with desire. Many people had seen Xie Shuting's methods and talents.

"Father, do you remember the military settlement of Xian Tang?"

Military settlement is a system in which the army organizes farmers to engage in agricultural production. It has many advantages, but due to the geographical location of Laigu County, it obviously has many inconveniences.
