my relatives are a bit much

Chapter 234 Convincing People with Virtue

"I agree."

Landlord Yang, who is good at flattering and flattering, took the lead in expressing his opinion.

Zheng Qiankun, the former county magistrate, immediately followed up and said: "I also agree. Guo Xiaotian relied on his superior force to bully and dominate the city. With the support of the Guo family, he has poisoned Guobei County for decades, and the people have suffered for a long time."

"Magistrate Pan, if you can destroy the Guo family in one fell swoop, the people of Guobei County will be grateful."

"You are the Great Saint, please be respected by the little old man!"

Done.

Old man Zheng actually bowed to Pan Haodong.

under his leadership.

Immediately, several squires stood up to praise Magistrate Pan, and then followed his example and bowed in greeting.

There are small groups in any big faction, just like a class, there are always a few people who play well and get together every day to be best friends.

These squires who followed suit and surrendered were obviously with Zheng Qiankun.

Wang Bowen, the director of Guobei County, is the head of another small group. He said worriedly:

"Pan county magistrate, the new official took office three fires, you want to get rid of the Guo family Liwei, I can understand. But there is one thing I don't know, after you get rid of the Guo family, will you liquidate us?"

The original county magistrate died suddenly and mysteriously, the county magistrate was kicked out of office, and the county captain remained vacant for a long time. Before Pan Haodong and Ning Caichen took office, there was only one chief official in the entire county government, Wang Bowen.

He is worried about his future.

Pan Haodong said: "You haven't asked for advice yet?"

"The chief clerk of the county government, Wang Bowen."

Wang Bowen looked at the new magistrate anxiously.

The county magistrates who took office in the past were either scholars who had obtained fame, or landlords or big businessmen who had some spare money to buy officials, and they had served in the county government for more than [-] years.

He has never met such a young man with magical powers.

As for what to say.

No one here believes it.

Because this is the ability of a saint. If Pan County Magistrate is a saint, then the place to go should be the court to reorganize the court, not the small pond in Guobei County.

"Master Wang, looking at your anxious face, you must have a very dirty buttocks. I believe everyone here is also the same. I originally planned to destroy the Guo family, and I will ask you to settle the matter later."

As soon as Pan Haodong said this, all the famous gentry present turned pale with shock.

Some even contemplated fleeing.

It's just that Pan Haodong didn't stand upright, so he sat back scared by Pan Haodong's look.

Master Wang was silent for a long time, and said: "Magistrate Pan, if you liquidate us all, Guobei County will be in chaos."

Landlord Yang immediately said: "Magistrate Pan, you are new here, and some people and things are unclear, so let me introduce them to you one by one. This is Qian Buyi, the owner of the Qian family in the south of the city. Seventy percent of the property belongs to the Qian family."

"This is Li Xiucai, the owner of the Li family in the east of the city. Seventy percent of the restaurants and restaurants in Guobei County belong to his family..."

"This is a scholar from the Zhang family in the west of the city. Sixty percent of the cloth shops and fish markets in Guobei County belong to his family..."

"..."

Landlord Yang introduced them one by one.

Pan Haodong was furious when he heard this, good guy, Guobei County's livelihood has been monopolized by them, and the common people can only work for them besides setting up stalls and farming.

No wonder Master Wang said that if they were liquidated, Guobei County would be in chaos.

There is no rice to buy, restaurants are closed, the fish market does not sell fish, all walks of life are closed, and the people cannot even buy the most basic daily necessities, so there is no riot!
It seems appropriate to make some concessions!

I will slowly deal with these people in the future.

Think of this...

Pan Haodong said: "I can forget about the past, but each of your family has to hand over [-]% of the family wealth, small punishments and big punishments."

"what?"

"Twenty percent of the family fortune?"

"Magistrate Pan, aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning if you are so overbearing?"

"..."

Landlord Yang, Master Wang and others wailed.

They dare not resist.

Guo Xiaotian, who tried to kill Pan Haodong in vain and continue to be the emperor of the earth, was a good lesson from the past. The emperor of the earth who was pressing on their heads died in one round.

Facing County Magistrate Pan, who was more tyrannical than Guo Xiaotian, Master Wang and the others dared not turn over the table even though they were annoyed.

"Twenty percent is too much, then thirty percent."

After a pause, Pan Haodong glanced at the unscrupulous squires with cold eyes: "Who said I was going to be struck by lightning just now?"

"..."

Silent.

No one dared to admit it.

Pan Haodong looked at one person and sneered, "Is that you?"

"Not me, not me..."

The savage-faced squire shook his head like a rattle.

"Then it's you!"

Pan Haodong turned to look at the other person.

Pfft!
The man knelt down in fright, and said sincerely and fearfully: "Magistrate Pan, I, I, I said it unintentionally. Your lord has a lot of words, please don't be as knowledgeable as me."

"Don't worry, I won't be as knowledgeable as you. I just want to call down a thunderbolt and see if it will hit you or me."

Pan Haodong stood up and kicked off the wooden bench, walked to the corridor of the observatory, and silently recited the Five Thunder Mantra.

After reading, he quickly stretched out a hand.

"Lei Gong, help me!"

Rumble!
The night sky with a bright moon and clear wind suddenly became overcast with dark clouds, thunder and lightning.

boom!
A thigh-thick thunder fell.

It penetrated the roof of the observatory and struck the dining table with great precision.

Zheng Qiankun, Wang Bowen and others were so frightened that they retreated backwards and sat down on the ground, unconscious.

"Oops! It's broken!"

Pan Haodong seemed very regretful that he didn't curse his squire to death, and subconsciously stretched out a hand, ready to do it again. The squire who cursed him just now rushed to his feet, hugged his leg and cried: " Magistrate Pan, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong! Please don't hit me, don't hit me!"

Pan Haodong raised his mouth slightly, and said, "Then it's okay to hand over [-]% of the family property?"

"No problem, no problem."

The squire who was able to keep [-]% of the family wealth and almost met the King of Hades felt a little bit lucky in his heart.

Seeing the terrifying methods of the new county magistrate, all the country gentry and powerful men in Guobei County have been gutted and dare not have any small thoughts.

How dare Mi Li compete with Haoyue for glory?
A mortal cannot defeat a monk.

"what about you?"

"Do you have any objections to handing over [-]% of your family wealth?"

"If you have any, just bring it up. I'm a very open-minded person and can accept different opinions."

Come on, it has become [-]% again!
From [-]% to [-]%, and now to [-]%, the squires finally understood.

The longer it is delayed, the more unfavorable it is to yourself, otherwise sooner or later it will become [-]% or even the entire family wealth.

Therefore, Zheng Qiankun, Wang Bowen and others said one after another: "Magistrate Pan, [-]% of the [-]% is achieved. We are willing to hand it in. I only hope that you can show your noble hand and let us live."

"Be obedient and there is a way to survive, don't be a moth, do you know?"

Pan Haodong likes to convince people with virtue the most.

These squires who bully the people in the fish and meat town are quite reasonable. As long as you have the patience to have a clear and concise relationship with them, they will definitely donate generously.

No, everyone nodded and agreed to donate [-]% of their wealth.

"Little people must remember!"

Wang Bowen, Yang Landlord and others experienced great psychological changes and placed themselves in a very low position.

Zheng Qiankun and others, who were originally prepared to surrender to the new county magistrate, were eager to make him the master on the spot.
