After He Li, follow the reckless man to flee the wasteland and farm the fields

Chapter 454 Govern Jincheng
"Stupid imperial court? It's the rebellious officials and thieves. They are the ones who should be executed the most."

Chen Qingzhou was not afraid, and carefully rolled up Xiao Zeyu's handwriting, cherishing it very much, so he rushed to this domineering calligraphy. Mr. Xiao is a dragon and phoenix among men, and he is willing to assist Mr. Xiao to complete his grand ambitions.

Xiao Zeyu and Su Qing didn't know what happened in the teahouse after they left, but someone later told Xiao Zeyu about Chen Qingzhou's performance. He had a better impression of this proud Chen Qingzhou and looked forward to his performance in the winter exam.

"Qing'er, go to the inn to sleep."

Xiao Zeyu said that he would not allow Su Qing to go to the blacksmith shop again, no matter how urgent he was, he even coaxed and forced Su Qing into the inn, and asked for a room for her to rest.

"The shopkeeper prepares a bucket of hot water."

Xiao Zeyu sent Su Qing upstairs, and asked the shopkeeper to prepare hot water, so it would be more pleasant to sleep in a hot bath.

Su Qing is also really tired, seeing that Xiao Zeyu thought of everything, she can enjoy it in silence, it feels so good to be taken care of, she doesn't need to say anything.

"Qing'er, take a good rest, I'll go and see the injured soldiers first."

Xiao Zeyu sent Su Qing upstairs and was about to leave, Su Qing called to stop him:

"I'll get you some healing medicine."

Xiao Zeyu has long been used to Su Qing being able to take out things at will, and yearns for her master's fairy gate very much. It is simply too convenient to have such a fairy gate, and she is not afraid of being stolen if she puts anything.

Xiao Zeyu left with the medicine and buns. Su Qing stretched his stiff neck and sat on the bed. The inn is very clean and the bedding has no peculiar smell. Su Qing is very satisfied.

She was too tired, and fell asleep while leaning on the bed. She didn't know how long it took, but when she heard the knock on the door, she opened her eyes suddenly, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and her hands became aggressive.

When she heard Xiao Er's voice, she put away her evil spirit and shouted in a cold voice:
"Come in."

Two clerks came in carrying a wooden barrel for bathing, followed by a clerk from a cloth shop, holding a tray in his hand, on which was a woman's clothes. The light blue robe was exactly Su Qing's favorite color. The man smiled and said to Su Qing when he entered the door:
"Young Master Xiao ordered the villain to send you clothes."

"it is good."

Su Qing nodded, feeling warm in her heart, being cared for meticulously by Xiao Zeyu, she enjoyed his care like a little daughter.

Here Su Qing took a bath and changed clothes, and over there Xiao Zeyu returned to the barracks with food and medicine. We fell asleep together.

"Get up and eat, and go to bed after eating."

Xiao Zeyu felt sorry for these brothers who were born and died with him, and called everyone to get up and eat buns, and handed over the healing medicine given by Su Qing to the military doctor:
"This pack is for external application, and this pack is for internal use. Don't get confused."

"Yes, young master."

The military doctor cherishes the medicine given by Su Qing very much. Miss Su's medicine is all miraculous and has the effect of bringing the dead back to life. He admires him a lot after seeing it along the way.

After Xiao Zeyu arranged the affairs of the military camp, he rushed to the government office without stopping.

The soldiers had already led people to arrest both Zhizhou and the yamen servant. This Zhizhou was also a rat, and he was arrested without daring to bring the yamen servant to resist.

"My lord, many people have already handed in the pleadings. The magistrate has done a lot of bad things not long after he took office. You see, these are all pleadings against him, and these are all pleadings against the bullies in Jincheng."

The soldiers reported all the papers of pleadings to Xiao Zeyu, and Xiao Zeyu sat in Zhizhou's office to read his crimes, robbed rich businessmen of mansions, bullied men and women, and disregarded human lives.

These tyrants in Jincheng colluded with Zhizhou to bully and dominate the market, doing all kinds of evil, especially the two big grain merchants in the city who hoarded food to drive up the price of grain, which was unkind to the rich.

"Come here, arrest these people and confiscate their property."

Now the army needs a lot of money and food to expand, just use these wicked people to kill the rich and help the poor, and confiscate their ill-gotten gains. Xiao Zeyu's approach has won the love and support of the people of Jincheng.

Knowing that the city gate was to be built, the people in the city demolished their sheds and transported the wood to the gate of the city. Carpenters who knew how to craft a carpenter offered to help build the city gate without wages.

The people of Jincheng have never given so willingly as they are now. Everyone is enthusiastic and hopes that the Xiao family army will not leave Jincheng, so that the people will have a good life.

It was announced that the day for the winter exam was coming, and there were only a few candidates who came to sign up, but Xiao Zeyu was not discouraged, those who dared to come were good, those who were talented but timid were not worthy of reuse.

Among the candidates, he saw Chen Qingzhou whom he met in the teahouse that day. He bathed and changed his clothes to make himself energetic, and stood in the crowd with his chest upright, holding a pen, ink, paper and inkstone. His eyes radiated with confidence, as if Standing out from the crowd, people can usually see him at a glance.

Xiao Zeyu nodded to him, Chen Qingzhou clasped his fists in both hands and gave a deep salute, Xiao Zeyu looked away and looked at the dozen or so candidates in front of him:

"Everyone is brave enough to take part in the winter exam. I hope you can all get good grades. The Xiao Family Army is now employing people. As long as you have the ability, you are not afraid that you will not succeed in the future."

Xiao Zeyu's speech was very inspiring. Those who dare to take part in the winter exam are ambitious people who are dissatisfied with the mediocrity of the imperial court and hope to benefit the common people.

The reason why they dared to come was because they respected General Xiao Heng, trusted Xiao's army, and hoped to vote for a Mingjun.

The winter exam has started. Xiao Zeyu personally accompanied everyone in the exam. All the questions today were written by him. Let's see who is the best?Let's see who is ambitious?Let's see who has the knowledge and strategy of governing the country?

It can be said that the content of the exam is completely different from the previous autumn exams, and it is not limited to the knowledge in books, so that everyone has room to develop.

Xiao Zeyu sat in the examiner's seat, looked at the candidates who were writing hard, and found that the dozen or so people who came today are very good. He is in urgent need of talents. If these candidates have good grades, he wants to keep them all for his own use.

Of course, before doing this, we must first find out the details of these people, so as not to let the spies take advantage of them.

The two-day exam has passed, and the candidates have finished answering all the exam papers and are waiting for the results with anxiety.

Xiao Zeyu judged the papers himself, while Su Qing rubbed the ink for him, acting as a virtuous wife.

Su Qing knew nothing about these examination papers. She couldn't read classical Chinese because it was too ink-stained. She only wanted to see whose handwriting was more beautiful. Handwriting was like the person's. If the handwriting was neat, a person must be rigorous, and if the handwriting was scribbled, she must have a carefree personality. She read all the papers judged by Xiao Zeyu. Once again, when she saw the last test paper, she was attracted by the flamboyant fonts on the test paper, and she suddenly asked Xiao Zeyu:
"Whose exam paper is it?"
