The first county magistrate in history

Xia Mochu knew that although the Imperial Guards were an elite force, they had no experience fighting on the front lines.

With the same number of people, the Royal Guards would definitely be defeated by these ferocious border soldiers.

He turned around and glanced at the palace guards.

Swish, swish, swish, several palace guards took action instantly.

The situation is reversed instantly!

Xia Mochu gave another order: "Send a few people to check other city gates. This is the imperial capital, my imperial capital, and no one else needs to interfere!"

The Empress' words couldn't be clearer.

Dozens of palace masters flew towards other city gates.

At this moment, Xia Mochu had awakened to the governance methods of Hongtong County and realized that compromise and concessions, as well as tolerance of treason, were unacceptable. He had to resort to drastic measures to preserve the emperor's prestige and the Daqian Empire.

"Your Majesty..." Li Qiuhan was extremely shocked. Was his master going to turn against the King of the Four Realms?

Before Xia Mochu could speak, An Dehai smiled faintly and said, "Qiu Han, don't worry. If Your Majesty doesn't do this, I'm afraid you won't be able to move forward in the future!"

There was chaos at the city gate, and the people who were preparing to enter the city were so frightened that they screamed and fled in all directions.

They simply couldn't understand why soldiers started fighting each other and even killed each other.

After killing dozens of people, several imperial guards stopped and did not kill them all. They knew that the empress wanted to train the troops and temper these imperial guards who had not fought for a long time.

Xia Mochu stopped watching the battle and went straight into the city.

Although the roads in the city are paved with bluestone slabs, they have been in disrepair for many years. Not only are they bumpy, but they are also full of dust. Due to the continuous rainfall in the past few days, the roads have become muddy and very difficult to walk on.

It was the end of summer and the beginning of summer. Everyone was exhausted and finally got home. However, what they saw were streets full of sewage, garbage and foul smells.

Normally, the environment in the imperial capital is relatively good, but after a heavy rain, all the garbage and dirt usually hidden in the corners are washed onto the streets by the rain.

Some residents even took the opportunity to dump waste on the streets.

My goodness, it’s not only dirty and messy, but also stinks.

In the past, the empress was accustomed to such an environment, but now, after experiencing the beauty of Hongtong County, she can no longer tolerate it.

"Didn't the Street Division see it? What are the road security soldiers doing?" Xia Mochu said angrily.

The Daqian Dynasty had an environmental sanitation department called the Street Office, which was responsible for street sanitation within the city.

Li Qiuhan couldn't stand it anymore and was about to order a guard to go to the Street Office to investigate the situation.

Xia Mochu suddenly stopped him: "It seems like I haven't inspected the imperial capital for a long time."

In one sentence, the expressions of Li Qiuhan, An Dehai and the accompanying guards changed.

It's over. Who knows how many officials under the emperor's command will be in trouble today...

Street Division.

There wasn't even a soldier guarding the door.

There was a lot of noise in the yard.

Xia Mochu and others walked in.

At this time, the two men were wearing conical hats and masks covering their eyes.

After all, many officials in the imperial capital knew them, and Xia Mochu didn't want to cause any trouble.

The palace guards were still dressed like merchant attendants.

In the huge yard, street sweeping tools and handcarts were scattered all over the place.

There are also more than a dozen round-tables.

Many soldiers on the road were gambling with dice, shouting with red faces and thick necks.

When they saw someone coming in, they turned a blind eye.

The doors and windows of the surrounding houses were open, and the sound of dice clattering and shouting could be heard from them.

The sound of drinking games came from the room in the middle.

Xia Mochu and Li Qiuhan walked in.

In the room, there was a sumptuous meal on the Eight Immortals Table. A fat and big-eared official of the ninth rank, with his official hat tilted on his head, was drinking and playing drinking games with several minor clerks, all of whom were drunk with red faces.

As soon as Xia Mochu and Li Qiuhan came in, everyone in the room looked over immediately, their red eyes filled with surprise.

Although we can't see the faces of the two women, their figures are absolutely top-notch.

Hu Deli, the street official, looked the two women up and down with his small eyes, revealing his large yellow teeth. He chuckled, "Ladies, what's up?"

Li Qiuhan asked, "The streets are so dirty, why don't you clean them up?"

Hu Deli and several clerks looked at each other and suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, you're really a heroine. Are you here to see justice for the people?"

Hu Deli laughed and looked at the two women lustfully.

He said, "Ladies, which street do you live on? I will personally lead people to clean it up."

“Hahaha… let’s go too!”

"Yes, let's go together!"

"Sweeping the streets for beautiful women is not tiring."

The others echoed this, all looking extremely vulgar.

Li Qiuhan stared at Hu Deli with murderous eyes and asked, "What's your name?"

"My two ladies, my name is Hu Deli, and I'm the Secretary of the Street Department. There's no rush to sweep the streets, so why not sit down and have a few drinks with me?" Hu Deli's true nature was revealed.

He was already extremely lustful and had been drinking, and when such a beautiful woman came to him on her own initiative, he became even more lustful.

As he said that, he actually reached out to pull Xia Mochu.

Xia Mochu's figure is even better than Li Qiuhan's.

Xia Mochu is already furious!

Without waiting for the empress to speak.

Canglang!

Li Qiuhan's pretty face was filled with anger, and she had already drawn the soft sword from her waist.

Anyone who dares to blaspheme the Empress will be killed without mercy!

Pfft, pfft...

After a few screams, in the blink of an eye, the heads of Hu Deli and his men fell to the ground.

Xia Mochu was so angry that her delicate body trembled uncontrollably, and the murderous intent in her became stronger and stronger.

This is happening right here at the feet of the emperor, and there are actually such officials right under her nose?

Such officials and clerks must not be tolerated.

The passersby outside heard the commotion and rushed over. "It's time to clean up the imperial capital!" Xia Mochu was furious:

"Street Secretary Hu Deli neglected his duties, failed to govern his people, and committed treason and deceit against the emperor. His property will be confiscated and his entire clan will be exterminated! The officials and soldiers under his jurisdiction who neglected their duties will be charged with a higher crime and executed on the spot!"

Give an order.

The imperial guards are on a killing spree!

In an instant, the streets were filled with screams and blood flowed like a river.

Soon, screams were heard again from somewhere in the imperial capital.

The nine clans of Hudeli were destroyed!

The smell of blood filled the imperial capital.

Shocked the entire imperial capital!

Outside the palace.

The soldiers of several border kings who surrounded the palace have been withdrawn.

Li Qiuhan looked at his master with admiration.

It seems that even the border kings are still wary of the great reputation Your Majesty built in the past.

Only now did she understand why her master killed people at the city gate and went on a killing spree in the street department.

An Dehai was smiling and went out for a while. It turned out that the decisive and murderous Mo Chu was back!

All civil and military officials suddenly received an oral order from the empress: Go to court immediately!

At this moment, it was almost dark. The empress suddenly went to court, and all the officials were panicked.

The empress had just killed the border soldiers guarding the city gate and massacred the street officials!

Who wouldn’t be afraid to go to court at this moment?

In the court, all officials took their seats.

All the ministers secretly looked at the empress who was sitting on the throne as heavy as water. They didn't dare to breathe and there was complete silence.
