The couple in the last days traveled to ancient times, farming and storing grain and meat in the war

Xiao Yan was not in a hurry to return to the county government office, but went up the mountain and entered the bandits' den.

Having occupied the mountain for so many years, he has done a lot of things like robbing people and cutting off roads. Some wealthy people have even been robbed. I guess he has a lot of money.

More than 30,000 taels of gold and silver were found in the rooms of the four bosses in the bandit den alone. Together with those found in other rooms and those dropped by the bandits, a total of more than 50,000 taels were found.

There was also a lot of food stored in the bandits' granary, enough to feed hundreds of people for a year.

Xiao Yan was also asked to be taken back and confiscated.

It just so happened that there was not much money and grain in the Dengping County government treasury, which was a little better. When those fleeing famine entered Dengping County, there would be some money and grain to take care of the hungry people.

When County Magistrate Yuan and his men looked at the wealth and food, their eyes lit up. This bandit den was truly rich.

It’s all thanks to them adults.

The bandit den also captured many people and used them as slaves. After careful interrogation, they confirmed that these people were really harmless and released them.

Also, several girls who were caught a few days ago and locked up in the woodshed were released and sent back to their respective homes.

Those who were captured stayed in the mountains and never thought that they would be able to go home one day. Naturally, even after leaving the county government office, they knelt down again and kowtowed to Xiao Yan outside the county government office, all of them with tears of gratitude.

As for those bandits, four leaders were already dead, and the others were all convicted according to their crimes.

Those who were to be beheaded could be beheaded immediately because of their many evil deeds according to the laws of Dayan without having to wait.

These people were immediately sent to the execution ground and beheaded by the executioner.

The people were naturally celebrating. This group of evildoers should have been killed long ago. Finally, a powerful official appeared in Dengping County.

Those who also have problems are all worried.

A new official has three things to do when he takes office. The first thing the new county magistrate did was to single-handedly eliminate the bandit den that had long lived in the north of Dengping County and had never been eradicated.

With the force of thunder, he chopped down those people.

It can be seen that the newly appointed county magistrate is not someone to be trifled with.

Won’t this fire burn on their heads sooner or later?

As for the other bandits who were captured, their crimes were basically not particularly serious, because they were all captured and forced to become bandits. Some of them were even just helping to watch the door. Naturally, they were innocent and were all released.

Some of them were accomplices and were punished according to their crimes. Whether they were imprisoned or beaten with a stick, they were all dealt with one by one.

It wasn't even a day yet, and not only had they destroyed the bandit's den, but they had also dealt with everything clearly. County Magistrate Yuan and others were full of admiration for Xiao Yan.

After this incident, everyone in the government office became Xiao Yan's fanboy, including the 40-year-old County Magistrate Yuan.

As soon as they saw Xiao Yan, their eyes were filled with stars, and their minds were full of how awesome we adults are.

They even had an expression that said, "Following a county magistrate like this, there's no need to worry about not being able to accomplish great things."

When Jiang Ningning and his friends came back from the next county, they heard that a group of bandits in the north of their county had been wiped out.

The four members of the Tian family were all shocked. They never expected that their Xiao Yan would become so tough and act so violently.

However, they also heard that Xiao Yan and the people from the county government were unharmed, so the four people from the Tian family had nothing to worry about.

Just like the people in the county, they were all very happy.

After all, the bad guys got their comeuppance, and the people in the north of Dengping County can live in peace from now on.

Such a big thing was known to the whole county. Moreover, Xiao Yan had only been in office for three days when he chopped off so many heads. Even though they were all heads of bad guys, many people were frightened and felt that Xiao Yan's thundering style did not seem like that of a scholar at all.

When people in the surrounding villages heard about this, they couldn't believe that it was done by the always gentle and polite Xiao Yan.

However, they had heard before that Xiao Yan had been learning martial arts from Mr. Wu in the academy. They had also seen Xiao Yan teaching Jiang Ningning martial arts with their own eyes. Moreover, the current magistrate of Dengping County was indeed Xiao Yan. After thinking about it carefully, everyone believed it again.

But in the end, I still admire Xiao Yan's courage.

Even if one has great skills, not everyone has the courage and guts to raid a bandit's den just three days after taking office.

Without that group of bandits, the road north of Dengping County became extremely safe. No matter who passed by, nothing happened.

Those who fled famine could also come here unhindered.

Dengping County began to receive and resettle people fleeing famine.

Some people heard that the bandit's nest here had been wiped out, so it was very peaceful, but other roads might not be peaceful. As a result, no matter whether one eventually wanted to escape to Dengping County or not, they would choose to take this road first.

Xiao Yan set up a porridge stall on this road and had several yamen runners guarding it.

Those who are willing to stay in Dengping County can register, and the government will arrange for them to work in places where people are needed and give them priority.

Although the wages at this time are not as high as usual, at least they can have something to eat and will not starve to death, so naturally many people are willing to register.

These people who fled the famine also received an order from their government, saying that there are many job opportunities in other directions, allowing them to flee to other places to survive first, and then return to the north later.

Most people understand this and know that low wages will allow them to hire more people, which means more people will not starve to death.

And only in this way will the rich families start to build large-scale projects, thus creating more job opportunities.

Otherwise there is no benefit at all, so why would those rich people do this?

They will definitely not cooperate with the policy of using work as a substitute for relief.

But some troublemakers really intend to cause trouble and deliberately incite others. Their intentions are despicable.

Xiao Yan happened to be visiting the porridge shed when he saw a few unruly people standing on a wooden cart, deliberately causing trouble. They were about to incite other people to riot. Without saying a word, Xiao Yan had these unruly people pulled off the wooden cart and chopped to death on the spot.

The heads fell to the ground immediately. Who wouldn't be terrified?

Everything calmed down immediately.

Since then, no one dared to cause trouble in the porridge stall in Dengping County.

No one dared to cause trouble in Dengping County.

Because Dengping County Magistrate Xiao Yan really dared to kill.

But according to the laws of Dayan, he can really be killed, and Xiao Yan is not guilty.

In the county, some grain shops were constantly trying to raise prices.

But seeing as Xiao Yan really enforces the laws of Great Yan to the hilt, if you really mess with him, he'll kill you instantly without even checking to see if you have any connections...

Naturally, the grain shops in Dengping County did not dare to raise prices, even if it was just a little bit, within the permitted range.

Thanks to Xiao Yan's ruthless approach, Dengping County was the fastest to restore peace and stability even though many people fleeing famine entered.

Originally, the people of Dengping County were worried that too many people were fleeing from the north, which would make them unsafe and affect their lives.

As a result, the county magistrate immediately took control of the situation. Not to mention other citizens of Dengping County, people from the surrounding villages all loved and respected the county magistrate Xiao Yan.
