Luo Fanjin drew out the sword and threw it to Wei Dong. Then he took the white towel handed to him by the maid and wiped the non-existent bloodstains on his hands.

Her every move was extremely natural, as if she was not the one who had just killed someone.

The scene suddenly became quiet. No one spoke anymore, and no one threatened her anymore.

This scene was really horrifying. A little girl, although of noble status, was only ten years old after all, and she could kill an official silently. This was really unexpected and unimaginable.

"Come here, take him away and cut off his head. Didn't you just say that you have a good relationship with the lady of another fiefdom? Then I will grant his wish and give him to that lady. From now on, he will stay in that lady's territory for the rest of his life!"

When Wei Dong heard this, he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, but he still obeyed the order and sent someone to take the dead official away.

The venue had not been cleaned up, and blood was constantly flowing from the bodies of the killed officials. The ground was covered in blood, which made the other surviving officials terrified.

"My Lady, I know I was wrong, please forgive me!"

"I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have said the wrong thing. Please forgive me, my lady!"

People kept kneeling down and begging for mercy, but Luo Fanjin ignored them. Instead, he waved his hand and had them taken away.

These people are just a bunch of parasites, useless, and what she just did was just killing a chicken to scare the monkeys. She killed the officials who committed crimes and warned those who were ready to do something.

The cries for mercy gradually disappeared, and Luo Fanjin led his men out of the City Lord's Mansion.

She rode a horse, and thanks to the identity of this body as a princess, she had mastered various skills since childhood, and she didn't have to hide herself.

Under Weidong's guidance, she led five hundred elite soldiers to search and search the homes of officials one after another.

There were at least hundreds of officials, big and small, in the entire Anyi City, and it took Luo Fanjin three days to search their homes.

Although there was a lot of abuse and resistance during this period, Luo Fanjin's tough style allowed the house search to proceed smoothly and the results were fruitful.

Box after box of gold, silver and jewelry were moved into the warehouse of the Queen's Mansion. Luo Fanjin stood at the door, listening to a newly promoted official reporting to her about all kinds of rare treasures, grains and land that were registered. She couldn't help but smile.

[Damn! No wonder the emperors of every dynasty started to confiscate property as soon as they came to power. These gold, silver and jewelry are more than what the anchor brought back from the palace! ]

[I just roughly counted them. There are about twenty boxes of gold, thirty boxes of silver, and more than ten boxes of other rare treasures. These are enough to replace the entire wealth of all the people in this city! ]

[So, it is said that ten years as a clean official can earn you 100,000 silver coins. This is not a lie! ]

[What do you think the anchor will do with this money? ]

[There are many things that can be done, such as recruiting soldiers, purchasing food, and rebuilding the city. But to be honest, if it is really used for people's livelihood, this money is not enough for anything! ]

The live broadcast room has already started discussing the uses of these gold, silver and jewelry. Luo Fanjin couldn't help but smile when he saw the suggestions from netizens.

Although there are always some black fans in the live broadcast room who slander her, there are still some people who really try to help her, even though these netizens don’t even know that what they say can be seen by her.

After the house search was over, Luo Fanjin began to rectify government affairs. There were more than ten towns in Anyi City, and now all the officials had been dismissed by her, and there were only a dozen people who could be used. Therefore, Luo Fanjin decided to open up both the recommendation and examination system to allow talented people to become officials to make up for the large shortage of officials.

Luo Fanjin took drastic measures to recruit talents and actually recruited more than a dozen scholars within a few days.

Most of these people were talented men who had gone to Beijing to take the imperial examinations and were frustrated. They came to the border area to relax. Now that they knew what Luo Fanjin had done, they couldn't help but want to become officials.

Among the dozen or so talented people, there was one named Yang Ke who left a deep impression on Luo Fanjin.

Because he solved the test paper of the Ten Strategies for Peaceful People set by Luo Fanjin, and he was the only one who put forward reasonable suggestions.

In the reception room, Luo Fanjin hosted a grand banquet for more than a dozen scholars.

She sat in the first seat, observing the soldiers below imperceptibly.

Most of these people behave in a free and easy manner, speak openly, and have a broad vision. Luo Fanjin is very satisfied with them.

"Thank you for hosting us. I am Zhang Liang from Qujiang. I am willing to sacrifice my life for you and die for you!"

Luo Fanjin saw a man coming out from his seat. He had a decent appearance and was full of righteousness. Through the investigation over the past two days, Luo Fanjin quickly identified the man. This man was a descendant of Zhang, a big family in Xia State. However, he was not valued in the family. Ever since he knew that Luo Fanjin was planning to recruit a new batch of officials, he had become interested.

Luo Fanjin smiled and nodded, and toasted him with tea instead of wine.

Female monarchs are respected. Zhang Liang did not expect that the other party would take the initiative to respect him. He was really shocked, and then he was ecstatic at being respected.

Seeing this, other officials also hurriedly stood up, expressed their heartfelt feelings and put forward some suggestions on how to rectify government affairs.

Luo Fanjin asked people to write down all of them one by one, which gave these new officials a clear understanding of Luo Fanjin's ability to identify and use people well.

Therefore, when people were a little tipsy at the banquet, many of them started to show off their talents, playing the piano, painting, drinking and chatting, and having a great time.

Luo Fanjin did not stop them. She knew that these people were all talented. The reason they came here was because they were not good at intrigue, so they were excluded and frustrated.

So, she is willing to give these people a chance, a chance to display their talents!

"My Lady, there is a scholar named Yang Ke who requests to enter the banquet. He is the one who broke the ten strategies for pacifying the people that you proposed, but he had something else to do before, so he didn't make it to the banquet!"

After hearing Wei Dong's words, Luo Fanjin remembered that this scholar named Yang Ke was very talented and was the person she favored the most.

However, the other party never showed up due to family matters, leaving her with no way to investigate.

In fact, today's banquet was the first time that Luo Fanjin met the scholars who passed the assessment and granted them official positions based on their talents. Among these people, the one Luo Fanjin wanted to meet the most was Yang Ke!

"Summon him in!" Luo Fanjin said calmly. There was no other expression on her face, but her tone revealed her expectation for the visitor.

Hearing Luo Fanjin's order, Wei Dong did it immediately without any hesitation.

Soon, someone announced Yang Ke's entry at the door.

This person should have a certain reputation and status among the many scholars, because when the servants called out his name, many people stopped what they were doing and looked towards the entrance of the hall.

In full view of everyone, a figure came gracefully.
