Crossing the famine, I am a poor fish, and my descendants have to work hard

This house is really well built. The layout, landscaping, materials and design are all very beautiful.

My eldest brother said that these are all going to be auctioned. After all, Zhang Xinshu is going to be the prefect here, so you can see if you can win the bid yourself.

I thought that since the house was going to be auctioned, the land and shops left by the magistrate should be auctioned together.

Before going out to explore for minerals, I was making money like crazy. Now that I have money, I have become lazy and don’t want to expand the southern market.

Now that Zhang Xinshu is here, I might as well take the opportunity to develop the market here.

As for the model, we will see how much land and shops can be auctioned off in the end before making any plans.

It took more than five days to count and seal up all of Prefect Fang's property.

The property was temporarily detained in the warehouse and would be escorted back when Zhao Yuanlan finished his work and returned to the capital.

Zhang Xinshu has officially taken over all affairs of Yangzhou Prefecture and has been very busy recently.

I have been reviewing past files and correcting cases of wrongful convictions and unjust verdicts.

Among these cases, there were many that happened a long time ago and the specific circumstances were unclear, so it was Zhao Yuanzhen who stepped in to help sort out the correct case circumstances.

It took nine days to sort out and organize more than a hundred cases, big and small, before it was completed.

Zhao Yuanzhen helped to make many copies of the organized cases, which were to be made public.

All those who were wrongly arrested or wrongly convicted were released, and different compensations were given according to the time of arrest. For those who died wrongfully, their families were found and compensated.

As for the real murderer of the case, they began to arrest him.

Among them, most of them are powerful and aristocratic families, otherwise they would not have so much money to bribe the prefects, break the law knowingly, and commit corruption and abuse of power.

Almost all those in Yangzhou City were arrested, and for the few who were not there, wanted warrants were issued and reported to the court, requesting the court to make a ruling.

Because of Zhang Xinshuo's thundering methods, the first fire of the new official's appointment was very big and fierce, offending many vested interests.

All the aristocratic families hated him to death, knowing that if Zhang Xinshu was not eliminated, the situation in Yangzhou would really change.

Assassination attempts against Zhang Xinshu continued.

From the beginning when three or two servants took action, to later more than a dozen, to hiring killers, to colluding with gangsters to offer a reward, however, without exception, all of them ended in failure.

None of the aristocratic families in Yangzhou Prefecture had expected that this young prefect would be so skilled in martial arts.

A silver jade soft sword, wielded with thundering sword moves, no matter how famous the killer hired was, none of them succeeded. Gradually, they lost hope and gave up.

They had no choice but to give up. Many heads of major clans were arrested, and then more crimes were involved, from hiring killers to later exiling entire families, confiscating their property, and beheading them.

Which big family doesn’t have some dark affairs? No one dared to confront the young prefect.

I thought it was a soft persimmon, but it turned out to be a hard one. Not only did I not move it, but I also hurt my fingers.

However, although the employers from the aristocratic families gave up, the martial arts world was stirred up. All the people in the martial arts world considered it an honor to defeat or kill Zhang Xinshuo, believing that as long as they killed him or defeated him, they would be the best in the world.

Therefore, there is still an endless stream of assassinations.

Various conspiracies and plots emerge one after another.

Looking at Zhang Xinshuo who came to have breakfast a while late, I knew that he was assassinated again this morning.

"How many today?"

"two."

"There is one less this morning than yesterday."

"Well, mother, I have tied it up, you can deal with it later."

"it is good."

At the beginning, those who were captured would be defeated and their employers would be interrogated and then taken to prison.

Later, gradually, the prison had more and more people living in it and it was almost full.

Zhang Xinshu was very distressed and didn't know what to do. It would be okay if someone hired a killer, but it would be very troublesome if no one did.

After Zhao Yuanzhen found out, he patted him on the shoulder and said that this was God’s help.

These are all martial arts masters who don't need any training.

"Xin Shu, I was still very worried about you being like this here, but now that these people are following you, I feel relieved."

"Mom, I'm afraid they won't listen to me."

"It's okay, I'll take care of it."

Zhao Yuanzhen then went to the prison, picked out those who were not extremely evil, fed them all with loyalty pills, and then brought them out.

This wave brought out 63 people.

Among them, 32 have relatively good martial arts skills, 20 have average skills, and the rest are some who are unconventional, such as those who are good at using hidden weapons, poison, sneak attacks, and beauty traps.

Yes, it’s a beauty trap, there are three women here.

What those who were trying to assassinate, sneak attack, poison, etc. didn't know was that Zhao Yuanzhen had provided all-round protection for Zhang Xinshu.

He was wearing gold-thread software and taking an anti-poison pill, but he couldn't break through the defense.

Of course, it was Zhang Xinshu himself who saw through the beauty trap.

Zhao Yuanzhen happily accepted all of them.

Twenty of those with better martial arts skills were selected to form Zhang Xinshuo's personal guard team.

The 20 medium-sized ones formed a small detachment of Yangzhou Prefecture soldiers. As for the rest, Zhao Yuanzhen planned to make full use of them and then deploy them when he opened a shop.

Those whose money was confiscated were all very confused. How could I, a passionate young man, suddenly have a job?

This, this, this, isn't it said that it is difficult to get ashore? How come he came here to compete in martial arts and assassinate someone, and then suddenly became a government soldier? Or does he only belong to the prefect?

Later, Zhang Xinshu was responsible for subduing and tying up these assassins. As long as they were not extremely evil, they were all able to pass the civil service exam and get out of jail.

Zhang Xinshu looked at these teams of obedient private guards and felt very weird. Suddenly, the door to a new world was opened by his mother.

He arranged various tasks for his personal guard team, and assigned a squad of palace soldiers to familiarize themselves with the affairs.

Zhang Xinshuo, who was originally very busy, suddenly realized the advantage of strength in numbers. With his own confidants, he no longer had to handle many things personally, which saved him a lot of time.

Zhao Yuanzhen also gave Zhang Zijin and Zhao Yuanlan the Anti-Poison Pill and the Golden Silk Soft Armor.

Thinking that it would be easier to contact each other in the future, Zhao Yuanzhen bought six more Saker Falcons, one pair for Zhang Xinshu, one pair for Zhao Yuanlan, and the remaining pair was taken back to Chengyuan.

Zhang Xinshu only had a pair of Saker Falcons for this high-risk job. Zhao Yuanzhen was worried, so she released her own pets and let Zhang Xinshu choose one himself.

Look at the majestic tigers, leopards, wolves and pandas.

Zhang Xinshu looked at the beast and then at his mother.

"What? Don't you like anything? It doesn't matter. Just tell me what you like and I can get it for you."

"No, mother, I'm just a little surprised."

It turns out that one cannot look at his mother with common sense.

"That's fine. You pick which one you like."

Zhang Xinshu chose and finally picked the leopard.

Thinking that he would definitely leave in the future, it would not be good to separate Jizhi and Tangjiang for too long. After all, they were husband and wife, so he decided to leave both Jizhi and Tangjiang to Zhang Xinshuo.

"These two leopards are a pair, and I leave them to you two. This one is called Tangjiang, and the other one is called Jizhi. They are two years old. Jizhi, Tangjiang, from now on you will follow Zhang Xinshu. He is my third son."

Syrup happily walked to Zhang Xinshu and lay down obediently.

God knows, it was almost bored to death in that little world, and finally it could get out.

"Jizhi, be good, you should follow me from now on. Thank you, mother."

Zhang Xinshu stroked their heads.

"Well, treat them well, and when they give birth to cubs, train them well."

"Okay, I know, Mom, don't worry."

Since then, people would occasionally see that the young prefect with extraordinary fighting power would be followed by a pair of majestic leopards.

When they first appeared, they still caused people fear and terror, but later people gradually discovered that they were very well behaved and they were no longer so resistant.

Zhao Yuanzhen was afraid that someone would poison the animals, so she fed each animal an anti-poison pill.

Safety level +1.

After a busy day, all the case files were finally processed and all the criminals who should be arrested were arrested.

Many of those arrested were from prominent families. Zhang Xinshu followed the clues and uncovered many cases of contempt for the law and disregard for human life.

For those with serious crimes, the law stipulates that they will be beheaded, have their property confiscated, and be exiled.

Those whose cases are not so serious will be sentenced to prison or fined.

All the crimes committed by the criminals and the regulations for their punishment were clearly recorded, sorted out, and sent to His Majesty’s study in the capital.

After the case was sorted out, various matters were almost handled, and it was finally time to try the former prefect Fang Hui, Fang Yunqi, and other members of the Fang family.

All female members of the family were tattooed and exiled, all men within the three clans were beheaded, and all men outside the three clans were tattooed and exiled.

The exiles have already been on their way, and the rest are to be beheaded.

There are 17 of them in total, all of them are involved in serious crimes, and each of them has committed murder. It can be seen that the Fang family is really not a good thing.

The beheading time was set at 3:15 p.m., and an announcement had been made before that.

On the day of the beheading, all of Fang Hui's crimes were written down and read aloud by someone. The family members of those who were wrongly convicted and died unjustly came to watch and threw vegetable leaves and rotten eggs at him.

Fang Hui, Fang Yunqi and other members of the Fang family never imagined that in less than a month, they would be killed by the knife.

As expected, it’s not that I don’t want to retaliate, it’s just that the time has not come yet!

Fang Yunqi regretted so much that he wanted to beat himself to death. He deserved to die because he had destroyed the lives of his entire family for a singer.

Finally, the time was up and the executioner raised his knife and chopped down the man.

One by one, the most evil people were killed.

The body was then collected and thrown into a mass grave. It was not allowed to collect the body of such a heinous person.

The execution ground was cleaned, and buckets of water washed away not only their sinful blood, but also the gloomy officialdom of Yangzhou Prefecture.
