Chapter 743

~10 min read 1,899 words

After leaving the restaurant, Ying Mo went directly to the village he had visited before. There were only women in this village, no men.

And when Ying Mo left last time, he left a bag of silver for the woman before.

At that time, Ying Mo thought that he might not come back.

But this time, Ying Mo did not expect that he would change his mind again. He prepared to come back and see what the situation was like here.

See if his ideas of the past two days had caused changes here.

So Ying Mo walked all the way inside. However, just as he entered the village entrance, he heard someone discussing on the side:

"Isn't this the Young Master? Greetings, Young Master."

"The Young Master is here, the Young Master is here!"

At this moment, several people who understood etiquette even knelt down. Of course, under such circumstances, Ying Mo did not let them kneel directly, but let them stand up.

Subsequently, he said: "I want to ask you, in these two days, has the pension you deserve been issued from above?"

Upon hearing this, this group of people all gathered around. Their eyes carried excitement. Among them, an old man over fifty stood out.

His hair was white, and his eye sockets were deeply sunken, looking very weak. In fact, according to reason, being just over fifty did not count as this state.

But because he still had to be responsible for labor on weekdays, and the food was not very good, the external conditions became much worse.

At this moment, the old man said excitedly: "Thank you, Young Master. Thanks to your actions in the county town, after killing the local County Magistrate,"

"we knew that so much money had all been taken away by that County Magistrate. Most of the people in our village have already received it, and there is still a part who are going to the county town to receive it today."

At this moment, Ying Mo smiled and was very satisfied. He had ordered his subordinates to distribute these money before...

And he not only requisitioned all the money of the previous County Magistrate, but also copied the family property of those who cooperated with the County Magistrate.

Then used their property for distribution. Ying Mo naturally knew that now he had to kill a thousand by mistake rather than let one go, and under the current circumstances,

he could also determine that the person pointed at by ten thousand fingers was definitely not a good person. So once several people came to report, Ying Mo would investigate strictly.

Such people mostly had problems, and these ordinary people basically did not report randomly at this moment, so the money increased. But because there were many people, it was distributed according to the list one by one.

It also needed a certain amount of time. So Ying Mo laughed at this moment.

He said: "Everyone doesn't need to be so anxious. In fact, there should be another sum of money coming down after a period of time. At that time, remember to send someone to take it."

"And a large amount of food has also been developed. Please take it back and don't continue to be hungry."

"Before, when I was in your village, I felt extreme guilt. I know I am responsible for all this."

"So you don't need to thank me, I should apologize to you here!"

There were more and more villagers around. After hearing these words of Ying Mo,

they felt flattered instantly. One must know that in the past, their state was the most lowly.

Especially when seeing the County Magistrate arrive, they all had to kneel down, and even could not move.

And now seeing Ying Mo, they could stand like this.

400. All have responsibility, to resolve the hatred in the heart! (Begging for subscriptions!)

So at this moment, they felt particularly admiring of Ying Mo's character. Their eyes were full of fiery light.

They thought Ying Mo was simply their savior. And at this moment, Ying Mo also saw a woman.

That was the woman who took them in that day. The day they came to this village,

other people did not accept Ying Mo and them. After all, for a stranger, many families could not accept it.

Or it was inconvenient to receive them.

But this woman resolutely let them stay there for one night, and even offered meat hunted back.

At this moment, that woman walked over. She was still holding a bag of money in her hand. This was what Ying Mo left behind before. She originally wanted to return it to Ying Mo.

Because she was not a person who coveted money, especially when she knew Ying Mo's identity, she was scared to death, thinking that she shouldn't have taken this money at all.

But Ying Mo smiled after seeing the other party come over.

Subsequently, he said directly: "This money was given to you by me, so you don't need to return it to me anymore. If you return it to me again,"

"then where should I put my face? You just take this money, and it will be good for your family's expenses."

After hearing these words, everyone was also very happy and felt Ying Mo's breath of being close to the people.

One must know that before, they were still relatively worried, worried that Ying Mo might put pressure on them, and might even be like the group of officials before.

But now they had completely lost this worry, and even more and more people were around. Some were from this village, and they walked over directly after hearing the news.

But there were still some who were from neighboring villages, and even some who followed Ying Mo all the way.

They were surrounded outside at this moment. And at this moment, Wu Mian said to Ying Mo: "Young Master, I see that there are more and more people around."

"If we don't leave yet, then it will be a bit difficult to leave."

Ying Mo said with a smile at this moment: "Don't worry. My main thing these few days is to handle some of your grievances or unfair things."

"At that time, you can go to the county government office. I will take people there to handle your cases. You can rest assured. I will stay in the county town for half a week."

Ying Mo said affirmatively at this moment. The people below were full of spirit after hearing this, especially several people.

At the beginning, they also had some grievances, but as time passed, they gradually forgot these grievances.

Or they were already desperate. They knew that even if they mastered various evidence,

mastered some key clues about being bullied by others, it would not have any effect.

Subsequently, Ying Mo found an excuse and returned to the county government office.

After returning, Wu Mian was heard saying: "Young Master, your reputation in this area has spread with great spirit. Many people know you have come."

"And there are also people queuing outside who have grievances and are preparing. The work these few days might be particularly busy."

"And there are many people who are not here to report cases. They want to see your true face, want to see what kind of noble person can solve this matter."

Ying Mo laughed out loud upon hearing this. She walked outside the courtyard and looked at the moonlight outside. A hint of satisfaction appeared in her eyes. As a person in power, 【

The most important thing is to help the local people live and work in peace and contentment.

Let them have a relatively good life; otherwise, what is the point of holding this power?

Ying Mo thought about it very clearly and had his own grasp of this matter.

Over the next few days, Ying Mo led the officials under his command to continuously carry out various reviews.

Investigating various unjust, false, and wrongful cases in detail; the workload involved was not small.

957 But one must know that Ying Mo had a great many people under his command, and he could send soldiers to investigate cases. Furthermore, many officials knew that they could no longer continue to remain silent.

If Ying Mo was displeased with them, he could just as well take them all away.

So at this time, all the officials in the entire county stood out to contribute to this, and soldiers carried out detailed screenings.

Their ability to find clues was also very strong, so the efficiency could be said to be very high.

Some people even took certain measures in the morning, and after the investigation was clear, they were beheaded in the afternoon; this could be said to have relieved the hatred in many people's hearts.

Ying Mo knew that laws had existed long ago, but this group of people below easily confused the principles within them.

Consequently, misunderstandings arose, and some people even escaped the sanctions of the law.

Regarding this situation, Ying Mo naturally could not tolerate it, so he handled them one by one.

401. Handling One by One, Caught Off Guard! (Please subscribe!)

Such days passed very quickly, and Ying Mo was very exhausted every day.

He almost only fell into a slow sleep when he could no longer hold on, while others worked at the stipulated times.

Under such circumstances, Ying Mo was busy for a full half-week.

During this period, Ying Mo read through a large number of cases, leaving only a very small portion that were minor in nature.

After resolving these matters, Ying Mo said to Wumian: "This afternoon, prepare the carriage; we will just quietly leave the city."

Hearing this, Gao Jianli beside him was somewhat puzzled, and he said: "Young Master, why must we leave the city quietly?"

"We have made an extremely good impression on those commoners this time. I believe they must be very grateful to you and might even come to see you off."

After hearing this, Ying Mo laughed out loud, and then said: "That is well said, but doing it is too troublesome."

"If we really let them come to see us off, there will be many more people on our side. Those people will follow us all the way, and there might even be a stampede, which is extremely dangerous."

"It is even more disadvantageous for those commoners, so under these circumstances, I believe we cannot do that. We should just leave quietly."

Hearing this, Gao Jianli gave a thumbs up. He felt particularly impressed by Ying Mo's perspective and admired him even more.

Soon the carriage was ready, and Ying Mo directly rode his horse.

Their party was prepared to head directly to the front lines. They had originally only planned to be delayed here for a few days, but because of that incident at the tavern later on,

they were delayed for quite a long time. So, under these circumstances, they decided to leave quickly and arrive at the front lines sooner.

Because the situation at the front lines was still unknown, and he had only placed Meng Tian there, believing nothing would go wrong.

But Ying Mo still felt he needed to go see the situation for himself; only then could he be at ease.
