The first county magistrate in history

Although Jia Sizhen was sentenced to death along with his entire clan, Qin Zheng did not want to cause any more killings.

In this world where the strong prey on the weak, he could bring himself to kill an adult, but he couldn't bring himself to do it when there were women and children in the family.

Leave it to the Empress to deal with!

The most urgent task is to take away the gold, silver, treasures and food hidden by Jia Sizhen.

At this moment, there were cries and shouts in the mansion, and men, women, old and young were in chaos.

Qin Zheng turned a blind eye.

Order the Yihui troops to search the mansion.

Qin Zheng took Zhang Shaoyong, Wu Xiaoyou, Xia Moring and three hundred special agents and went straight to the backyard.

Xia Mo Ning is not stupid. Looking at the situation, she knows that Qin Zheng has already received the information and there are good things in the backyard.

At the very back of the mansion's backyard, there is a small building next to a small hill.

This hill is a hunting ground built by Jia Sizhen. In addition to being used for his own entertainment, it is also a place to win over colleagues.

A special forces member skillfully opened the door lock of the small building and everyone went in.

This is a study, magnificent and decorated with many antiques, calligraphy and paintings.

"Sir, it's behind here!" said a special forces member, pointing to the bookcase.

Qin Zheng nodded: "Open it."

Several team members came over and pushed open the bookcase.

Two bronze doors were revealed at the back.

There is a big copper lock on it.

One of the team members went up and fiddled with it for a while, and then opened the copper lock.

It was dark inside and there was a musty smell.

The special forces went in with lanterns and soon lit the lanterns inside.

Qin Zheng and others then went in.

Xia Mo Ning and Zhang Shao Yong walked in and were stunned.

There was so much food that I couldn’t see the end of it.

It is a hundred meters high when piled up from the ground.

Some of the bags had mold growing on them.

"So many?" Even though Qin Zheng knew that Jia Sizhen had hidden a large amount of grain, he didn't expect there would be so much.

"Oh my God, this is enough to feed millions of people in Yangping County for three months, right?" Wu Xiaoyou exclaimed.

"He would rather let it moldy than give it to the people affected by the disaster? How can he be so cruel!" Xia Mo Ning was angry.

"This is just the tip of the iceberg." Qin Zheng's face looked unhappy and he walked deeper.

At the end, there are two bronze doors.

"Is this a cave? He hollowed out the mountain?" Zhang Shaoyong finally understood.

The door opened, and as the special forces members walked in holding lanterns, they could see the reflection of metal inside.

When the lanterns inside were lit, everyone was stunned.

Countless gold, silver and jewelry...

Under the cover of night, all officials in Yangping County were raided...

But, they were not killed.

It’s not that Qin Zheng doesn’t want to kill.

After they were all killed, the Yangping County government office became empty.

The first thing to do now is to provide disaster relief, and the remaining crimes will be settled later.

If someone truly repents, they can be spared. After all, punishing crimes is not about killing, but about curing diseases and saving lives.

It's been a busy night.

The next morning, the common people, who had no idea what had happened the previous night, were awakened by the sound of gongs and shouts.

Boring...

"Yangping Prefecture Governor Jia Sizhen is guilty of heinous crimes. The Imperial Envoy has arrested him and paraded him through the streets. He will be beheaded at Caishikou at 3:30 PM..."

Boring...

"Yangping County Magistrate Jia Hong, guilty of heinous crimes, was beheaded last night..."

Boring...

"Today, we will open the granaries and distribute grain. People, please stay home. I will personally deliver the grain to every household..."

Boring...

"My Lord has released all the prisoners in Yangping Prison who were wrongly accused..."

Yangping County "Earthquake"!

The common people simply couldn't believe it.

When they ran out of their residence, when they saw the parade, they saw Yangping County Prefect Jia Sizhen and his legal advisor Han Jiance, who were tied up and standing in the prison van.

Only after seeing Jia Hong's dead body in the carriage did he believe it.

More and more people gathered on the street.

There was a mixture of cheers and curses.

Of course, the cheers were for Qin Zheng, the imperial envoy.

The curses were naturally directed at Jia Sizhen and his lackey Han Jiance.

Now the people were poor and no longer had eggs or vegetable leaves to vent their anger, so the stones and clods of earth on the ground became their tools of venting, and they were thrown at the prison van.

The Yihui troops escorting the prison van did not stop it.

Of course the imperial envoy said that the people must be allowed to vent their anger.

If a criminal is beaten to death, that's it.

The Yihui Army also secretly thanked the imperial envoy, and before the parade, they were specifically instructed to wear heavy bronze armor and bronze helmets.

Otherwise, they would have been seriously injured by the overwhelming stones and dirt.

Ordinary people have not been trained and their throwing skills are completely inaccurate.

At this time, the Yangping County defenders who were taken away by the third row were brought back and prepared to participate in the afternoon food distribution.

After a night of ideological education, these people have changed their ways and surrendered.

Of course there are bad people among them, but most of them are good. They are just soldiers and have to obey the orders of their commander.

At this moment, Qin Zheng was assigning tasks.

Jia Sizhen hid a lot of food, but some of it was moldy and inedible.

Even if the drought is brought under control, it will take several months for crops to mature.

What will the people eat during this period? The food won’t last that long.

Qin Zheng ordered the mobilization of 200 special forces members, 500 imperial guards and garrison troops to go to nearby counties and towns that were not affected by the disaster to purchase food.

With most of the province suffering from drought, food is definitely expensive, but it has to be bought.

After the team was sent out, Qin Zheng rushed to the farmland without stopping.

Xia Mo Ning was actually very tired, but she had to stay close to Qin Zheng, otherwise, who knows what he would do?

After walking for more than an hour, Xia Mo Ning was tired, hungry, sleepy and hot.

The sun has come out now, and it is scorching. The world is like a steamer, and you can feel the burning heat even when you breathe.

Xia Mo Ning wrapped herself tightly, otherwise she would get sunburned and her skin would peel off.

But my whole body was covered in sweat.

Qin Zheng finally stopped on a hillside.

He squatted down, took a small shovel and started digging.

Along the way, Qin Zheng and the special forces members dug holes on the ground from time to time, and Xia Mo Ning had gotten used to it.

But I don't know what he is doing.

She asked Wu Xiaoyou, but Wu Xiaoyou just told her, "Be quiet."

Soon, Qin Zheng, who had been looking stern all the time, finally stood up with a smile on his face.

He wiped the sweat off his face and said with a smile, "Xiaoyou, mark here."

"Yes!" Wu Xiaoyou excitedly inserted a small red flag on the edge of the pit.

Xia Mo Ning was really curious. Seeing that Qin Zheng had already spoken, she asked, "What are you doing?"

Qin Zheng said, "Dig a well and get water."

"You can also dig wells?" Xia Mo Ning was surprised.

Wu Xiaoyou was proud: "We all know how to do it. We are all all-round little masters!"

Xia Mo Ning: "..."

By noon, Qin Zheng had found five suitable places to dig wells.

Seeing that Qin Zheng was about to continue, Wu Xiaoyou reminded him, "Sir, it's time to go back. Jia Sizhen will be executed at 12:30 noon."

Qin Zheng took a look at the endless farmland and had to return.

After returning to the Yangping County government office that he had requisitioned, Qin Zheng and others had a simple lunch and then rushed to the Yangping County Caishikou.

There were huge crowds of people at Caishikou.

On the high platform in the government office where criminals were executed, Jia Sizhen and Han Jiance were kneeling on it.

At this moment, the two men were dying and were almost crushed to death by stones and clods of earth. The weather was so hot that even if they were not beheaded, they would not live long.

The people were still cursing, but they were stopped by the Yihui Army and stopped throwing things at them.

The people only now realized that the young imperial envoy who seemed to be in cahoots with the prefect was just acting.

However, whether he is really the great judge can only be proven after the evil Jia Sizhen is beheaded.

"The Imperial Envoy, Lord Qin, has arrived!"

Suddenly, a loud shout was heard.

The people were silent and made way for him.

When the people turned around, they saw the imperial envoy who had been in cahoots with Jia Sizhen a few days ago riding towards them.

The strange thing is that the imperial envoy and others were dressed in mourning.

The followers behind him were all dressed in mourning.

The people were all confused. What was going on?

His Majesty passed away?
