Chapter 971: Notify the entire prefecture, all rush to Suiyang City

Just because within their line of sight.

The streets that used to be extremely quiet were now bustling and extremely lively.

One commoner after another was carrying luggage, walking out of their homes, their faces full of warm smiles. Their wrinkled faces, which had suffered the hardships of life, were almost smiling in a bunch.

They had lived here for decades and were all neighbors, helping each other out, so they were all extremely familiar.

"Yo, Old Li, you're carrying luggage; where are you going?" an old man with a mouth full of yellow teeth asked with a wide grin.

"I haven't been to the prefecture city for a long time, so I plan to go take a look."

"Blind Wang, what about you? You've packed quite a lot of dry rations too. What? You're not going to deliver talisman water to the young widow at the east end of the city these days?"

Although Blind Wang called himself blind, that was just to make his fortune-telling look more professional; his eyes were not blind at all.

Hearing this, he smiled and said, "We fortune-tellers should take saving all living beings as our duty; how can I save only one person?"

"According to Lord Gao's temper, he will definitely kill quite a few this time. Won't the wives of those high-ranking officials be left alone? If I don't deliver talisman water now, when will I?"

"Wonderful!"

"Then shall we travel together?"

"That is exactly my intention!"

And such a scene appeared in many places in Qingshui County.

The commoners were all smiling and traveling together toward Suiyang City.

At the same time.

Tap!

Tap-tap!

At the city gate, following Gao Yang's order, the soldiers delivering the message mounted their horses, all looking murderous and spirited.

The leading soldier held the token high and said coldly, "The Imperial Envoy has an order to question the politics of the entire Suiyang Prefecture and strictly crack down on all illegal activities!"

"Wang Wu, you go to Huangni County!"

"Zhang San, you go to Wanan County!"

"Lin Gou, you go to Anning County!"

"..."

One military order after another was issued, and one soldier after another accepted the order. The leading soldier looked cold and swept his gaze over the soldiers!

"Time is tight, and the task is heavy!"

"This questioning concerns the millions of commoners in our Suiyang Prefecture!"

"Within one day, the political decree must spread to all major townships and counties in Suiyang Prefecture; otherwise, you will be executed for the crime!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers stood straight, their murderous voices ringing out one after another.

"Set off!"

The leading soldier gave the order, then flicked his horse whip and charged straight out.

Behind him, thirteen soldiers also rode two horses each, galloping from the Qingshui County city gate toward the different townships and counties of Suiyang Prefecture!

The warhorses trampled over the wide roads, the heavy sound of hooves echoing through the mountains and forests. They wanted to convey Gao Yang's order at the fastest speed!

First, because this was a military order, and it is the duty of soldiers to obey orders!

Second, because they were born in Suiyang Prefecture and grew up in Suiyang Prefecture. On this land lived their families; this... was their home!

The home needs to be swept so that their families can live more comfortably in the future and no longer be oppressed by corrupt officials. Even if they lost their lives, they would be willing!

Faster!

A little faster!

Mistakes can happen anywhere, but they absolutely cannot give these corrupt officials any reason to be late!

Giddy-up!

Giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up!!

Time passed bit by bit; day turned into night, and night was swallowed and eroded by the sunlight bit by bit.

With the soldiers delivering the message galloping without stopping.

They also arrived at the major counties and townships of Suiyang Prefecture!

"By order of Lord Gao!"

"Three days from now, we will question the politics of the entire Suiyang Prefecture. Officials from all regions must be present; those who do not come, regardless of the reason, will be treated as guilty, dismissed from office, and never employed again!"

Wanan County.

The soldier in red armor held the token high, his voice sweeping through the entire street.

They roared with the greatest possible volume, and the local commoners were stunned upon hearing this.

They were completely confused.

But later, when the notice was posted.

When some literate commoners saw the content, their eyes widened, and their hearts were filled with shock.

"Hiss!"

Some commoners gasped.

As for the illiterate commoners, they were as anxious as ants on a hot pan, deeply hating themselves for being illiterate at this moment.

"Scholar Chen, you are educated; what is written on this notice?"

The commoner asked, looking at a poor scholar in a Confucian robe. ===== CHAPTER 973 =====
