Chapter 118 I Should Still Do This

The next morning, Xu Ming, who had already packed his luggage, was ready to leave Baihe County.

When Xu Ming and Tianxuan'e just walked out of the courtyard, they saw Xu Pangda waiting for them outside the courtyard.

"Third brother got up so early." Xu Ming smiled.

"Isn't this to send you off?" Xu Pangda had a big belly, but his smile was still as simple and honest as when he was a child. "I'm sending you out of the city gate."

"Okay." Xu Ming did not refuse.

Xu Ming and Xu Pangda walked out of the county government office while chatting.

After today, Xu Pangda will have to rely on himself to fight his way around in Baihe County.

Fortunately, after Xu Ming almost killed all the four powerful families in Baihe County, all other forces, big and small, in Baihe County were captured or destroyed, and basically all of them were quiet.

It can be said that Xu Pangda has complete control over Baihe County.

Not to mention that after this incident, Xu Pangda completely established his prestige in Baihe County and was deeply loved by the people.

After this time, Xu Pangda will feel much more relaxed in Baihe County.

"Fifth brother, what do you think of the remaining people from the four powerful families in Baihe County?"

Xu Pangda asked Xu Ming for his opinion.

At that time, Xu Ming was killing people among the four powerful families.

But all the people killed by Xu Ming were evil people.

As for those young children, those people for whom no evidence could be found, or those who were truly innocent, Xu Ming did not take any action.

Xu Ming shook his head: "For those young and innocent people, Third Brother will give them some silver so that they can live well, at least until they can survive.

As for those who may have violated the law but no evidence has been found yet, Third Brother can take them to a place to lock them up and release them after the facts are investigated.

After the four wealthy families' homes were confiscated, their property was naturally taken over by the county government. I believe that Third Brother has his own plans for what to do."

Xu Ming believed that Xu Pangda would not have embezzled the money. Xu Pangda would probably use the money to compensate those who had been oppressed by the four families in Baihe County over the years, and then use it to set up private schools, build roads and so on.

Xu Pangda glanced at his fifth brother and said, "Fifth brother, if you let those people go, aren't you afraid that they will seek revenge on you, fifth brother?"

Xu Ming smiled and said, "If they want to seek revenge on me, then come on, but at least now they are innocent. However, if they come to seek revenge on me in the future, since they have picked up a knife, they need to be mentally prepared to be stabbed by others."

Looking at his fifth brother, Xu Pangda was slightly stunned, and finally just smiled: "Indeed."

Xu Ming and Xu Pangda walked out of the county government office.

As soon as the two stepped out of the door, they saw many people kneeling in front of the gate of the county government.

"Thank you, Lord Wenwuqing, for clearing my grievances."

"Thank you, Lord Wenwuqing. If it weren't for you, my daughter would die with regrets."

"Thank you, Mr. Wenwu, for taking care of me!"

"Thank you, Mr. Wenwu, for taking care of me!"

Outside the county government office, the voices of the people echoed.

Xu Ming looked at Xu Pangda beside him.

Xu Pangda smiled and said, "Don't look at me like that. After that day, you, my fifth brother, became a hero in the hearts of the people of Baihe County. Two days ago, I just told the people of Baihe County that you were leaving, and I didn't expect that the people of Baihe County would come here spontaneously."

Xu Ming stepped forward and helped the old woman who was leading the group to stand up: "Everyone, please stand up. That is what your county magistrate and I should do."

"Master Xu, what you said is wrong. Many officials have not even done what they are supposed to do. If it weren't for Master Xu, we wouldn't know what to do." An old woman stepped forward and said, "Today I learned that Master Xu was leaving Baihe County. I am sending him off to show my gratitude."

Looking at the sincere eyes of the people in Baihe County, Xu Ming felt something in his heart was slightly touched, and he bowed deeply.

Seeing Xu Ming saluting, the people were shocked and knelt down one after another, leaving Xu Ming at a loss as to what to do for a moment.

The sound of firecrackers rang out on both sides of the street.

Xu Ming and Xu Pangda walked out of Baihe County surrounded by the people of Baihe County.

As soon as they walked out of the city gate, Xu Ming and Xu Pangda saw two officials with extraordinary temperament riding white horses galloping towards them.

If I remember correctly, this horse is the White Dragon Horse of Wudu, which can travel thousands of miles a day and is specially used to convey imperial edicts.

"Ouch"

Two officials from Wudu reined in their horses.

They naturally recognized Xu Ming and Xu Pangda. After all, the portraits of the three people who won the first place in the imperial examination were widely circulated in Wudu at that time.

But why are there so many fellow villagers from Baihe County following them?

"Xu Ming accepts the order!"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The two officials dismounted from their horses and took out the golden imperial edict.

"Ming accepts the order."

Xu Ming walked forward and bowed.

The people behind the two were stunned for a moment.

What's going on?

Imperial edict?

Then, at the suggestion of someone, those who had achieved honors all bowed and saluted, while those who had not achieved honors all knelt down.

"The Holy Emperor ordered that you, my dear, hold the Water Dragon Pendant and kill nearly a hundred people from the four families of Sun, Xiao, Li, and Zhang in Baihe County in one day. The court was shocked, but I have read your memorial and know that the four families of Sun, Xiao, Li, and Zhang have committed heinous crimes. I also know that what you did was for the people of Baihe County.

But you accidentally killed the three eldest sons of the Xiao, Zhang and Sun families, and there is no evidence of guilt for any of them.

The three sects, the Leiwen Sect, the Banshan Sect, and the Yinquan Sect, blamed me, and I will explain it myself.

In the future, I hope you will not act on impulse and think twice before you act! "

"Your servant Xu Ming, accept the imperial edict!" Xu Ming stood up and took the imperial edict.

The content of the imperial edict is basically the same as what I thought. Your Majesty is just pretending.

Li Hui from the Li family deserved to die, and even the sect behind the Li family should be destroyed. As for the sons of the other three wealthy families, he really could not find any evidence.

As for what Emperor Wu said about "explaining it yourself", it actually means "these three sects are causing trouble for you, I can't help."

But the last sentence, "I hope you will not act rashly and think twice before you act!", shows that "the three sects will not dare to break the rules to kill you, so you should deal with them well."

"Sir Xu, Eunuch Wei asked me to tell you something. This time, you were really impulsive." An official stepped forward and said to Xu Ming.

Xu Ming smiled.

The so-called "Eunuch Wei's message" was actually what Emperor Wu wanted to say to himself, but it needed to be said through Wei Xun's mouth.

"It was indeed a bit impulsive."

Xu Ming turned his head and looked at the people of Baihe County behind him.

“But if I had to do it again, I would probably do it the same way.”
