There were eleven shopkeepers in the yard, and Tong Ran interrogated them until midnight.Including Pan shopkeeper, eight people agreed to present evidence, and three firmly refused.

The eight who confessed have already been charged. Based on these eight confessions, it is enough to convict the other three.

"My lord, do you really want to..." Those three who didn't recognize you?Gu Lan didn't have the heart to say the last four words, it was a living human life after all.

Tong Ran: "Because of their collusion with Shangjiang, the workers of Jinhe Supervisor have not received their wages for half a year, and hundreds of them starved to death. Someone must pay for this bill. I will only kill the head of the family, this is already the biggest concession."

Gu Lan couldn't find words to refute, so she silently closed her mouth.

Tong Ran: "Did I send you the food and clothing that you sent to the miners?"

Gu Lan: "It was delivered two days earlier. Captain You personally escorted them, and they have been distributed to each household."

Tong Ran nodded.

Another day later, all the evidences of the eight shopkeepers were silent. After Tong Ran read them, he ordered You Yang's subordinates to rush to the capital with the evidences and memorials.

Shang Jiang is an official appointed by the imperial court, and Tong Ran is the only one who can't speak enough to deal with him.

But Tong Ran didn't plan to find his superior or Dali Temple either.His official position was given by the emperor, and the imperial guards were also sent by the emperor, so if he wants to kill someone, he should go to the emperor directly.

Tong Ran traced the lines of the jade pendant with his fingers. It is said in the book that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, but this emperor who has achieved great success...

"Wow!" the little tiger called Tong Ran, waving his little paw, "Wow wow!"

Tong Ran's lost god was finally pulled back. "Okay, okay, got it," Tong Ran took a cloth towel and wiped the little tiger's paws.

Two days later, when the imperial decree arrived at Jinhejian, Shang Jiang was sentenced to be executed and his family property confiscated into the Jinhejian treasury.

Liao Wu, like the three merchants, was also sentenced to beheaded at the same time. The heads of the other eight merchants kept their family as they wished and went to the execution ground alone.

The executioners raised their knives and fell, and blood flowed into rivers inside and outside the execution ground.

The new officials from Ning County, Xiaoguo County and Zhuoyang Mansion just arrived, and seeing this scene, they were all terrified.

They went to the inspector's mansion, and saw a group of people in shackles, being escorted towards each other, followed by a group of walking lame.

A brave man grabbed a crippled man and asked, "What's going on here?"

The crippled glance also cast a glance: "New here?"

"Yes, little brother is new here, what's going on?"

"The new official takes office three fires. Shang Jianwei and several merchants who have made friends with him ransacked all over the house. Those in shackles in front are Shang Jianwei's confidantes, and they are all sentenced to exile. We ordinary people are lucky. Each received thirty sticks and was dismissed and sent back to his hometown."

The new officials looked at each other in blank dismay.This inspector is too ruthless, killing so many people when he first took office.

A guard came and escorted the crippled one away, leaving only the new officials staying where they were.

"Why don't you leave?" asked one of the officials.

"Should we go back directly? This inspector is too scary." The person who asked earlier said.

"Yes, yes, if we work with him, will our lives be lost?" Others echoed.Anxiety and uneasiness spread throughout the team of less than a hundred people.

"What are you thinking?" A mid-spirited voice interrupted them, "Isn't that Mr. Tong? He is a good official. Thanks to him, Xiaoguo County is getting better!"

The people around the voice also echoed: "Master Tong must have his reasons for doing so. At that time, the Ni family in Fuqiu Village was so noisy, and Mr. Tong did not do anything cruel, but he is a rare good official."

"That's right, Mr. Tong ordered the change of the regulations on setting up stalls in our city! Mr. Tong must have killed bad and corrupt officials!"

There were quite a few people from Xiaoguo County, and they responded with voices at this moment.Their confidence in Tong Ran made the people in Ding County and Zhuoyang Mansion hesitate.

"Is Tong Ran the one who came to build roads in our county?" asked Dingxian.

"The roads in the entire Zhuoyang Mansion were originally repaired by him." Another person from Zhuoyang Mansion added.

"People in Xiaoguo County say so, and it seems that he is not a bad official."

"But those people..."

"It must have been a crime. Didn't the ink corruption case in Longyou Road kill a lot of people? Everyone clapped their hands and applauded!"

Speaking of Longyou Dao's ink corruption case, everyone knew about it, and couldn't help but agree with it a little more.

"Hey, are you new officials?" Yuan San stood on the stone steps in front of the government office and shouted, "What are you waiting for, come here quickly."

Yuan San was wearing the uniform of an inspector's personal guard and held a saber in his hand. When those people saw him, they didn't dare to speak loudly.But for a while, no one moved forward, they looked left and right, a little undecided.

A group of people from Xiaoguo County pushed aside the crowd, walked up first and said, "Hello, Third Brother Yuan."

"Try it?" The rest whispered to their companions.

"Try it, don't everyone in Xiaoguo County say he is good?" someone responded.

"Over there, hurry up!" Yuan San urged again.

The rest of the people gritted their teeth and followed one after another.

"Hey, hey, take it easy!" Before the man could go in, another man in shackles was brought out. This man was much thinner than the ones just now, and he could vaguely see that he was wearing a scribe's clothes. service system.

"Don't dawdle, catch up quickly!" said the guard who slipped him out.

"Brother, let me see the Supervisor." The shackled clerk said.

"Go, go, take him away quickly." The guard shouted, and a guard escorting the prisoner came back, grabbed his arm, and almost dragged him forward.

"I want to see Lord Inspector! His soul is incomplete, I can help him find it—!"

"To shut up!"

"Ouch!"

The scribe was kicked into the exile team, and his voice was gradually drowned out.

"Who is that?" Yuan San asked.

The guard who came out said: "A counselor next to Shangjiang was originally a scribe here. It seems to be called Meng Yi. There is a magic stick."

Yuan San looked back again, the crowd in exile had gone far away, and Meng Yi was completely invisible.

"Let's go, let's go in with me." Yuan San stopped paying attention and led the newcomer in.

The southeast corner of the Supervisory Mansion is a playground, Yuan San gathered all the people there, stood up as a whole team, and went to report to Tong Ran.

Tong Ran was wandering around the two yards to the north of Xikuayuan with the little tiger in his arms.Facing south, the place is sunny. It was originally used by Shang Jiang's family, but now it is vacant.

"Does Zai Zai like this place? Let's open up this place in the future and let you bask in the sun, okay?" Tong Ran said.

The little tiger looked around after him, not very satisfied.This land is not as big as the place Tong Ran bought for it in Xiaoguo County, let alone the Royal Garden, so it can only barely make ends meet.

"This place is bigger than the courtyard of the county government before. Let's build some landscapes. If you are bored during the day, come and visit." Tong Ran said.

"Wow—" the little tiger roared out of boredom.

Tong Ran smiled, knowing that the little tiger couldn't understand, he rubbed its hairy head, and planned to start construction after the affairs in Jinhe Prison came to an end.

After teasing the little tiger for a while, Yuan San arrived.

Yuan San: "My lord, the new officials are already forming a team in the playground, just waiting for you."

Tong Ran nodded, got it.

The guards of the Supervisory Mansion must at least be upright and upright, which is consistent with the requirements of officials, and the source of selection is those who apply to be officials, so Yuan San called them new officials, in fact, there are enough civil servants in the mansion. Those people are basically going to serve in the army.

Tong Ran asked Yuan San to call You Yang, and took them to the playground together.

No one was watching on the playground for a while, and the newcomers just watched and started talking.

The people from Ding County and Zhuoyang Mansion had never seen Tong Ran's appearance, so they started to make guesses.

"He's so ruthless and ruthless in killing people, he must be very tall, maybe he's also very fierce."

"Yes, yes, I heard that he raised a tiger. If he dared to raise such a fierce animal, he must be a vicious one."

"I heard that Master Tong has opened his eyes, so he can see the secrets of the sky and make things like cement."

People in Xiaoguo County didn't speak a word. Mr. Tong and the others had seen it before, so there was no such exaggeration.

"Come on, come on, don't talk!" The people near the entrance saw a few shadows coming towards them, and reminded them aloud.The whispering on the playground stopped immediately, and all eyes were on the entrance of the playground.

A tall man wearing armor and holding a saber walked into everyone's sight first.

Master Tong?

People from Ding County and Zhuoyang Mansion stared wide-eyed. It is said that Mr. Tong is only sixteen or seventeen years old, but he is already so tall?

"My lord, please go first."

However, the man in armor stopped at the entrance, bent sideways, and respected Shen Shi.

not him.

Those people immediately realized that they had identified the wrong person, and at the same time stretched their necks, waiting for Tong Ran to show up.

A shadow was reflected on the wall at the corner of the entrance. The shadow gradually grew larger, and a pair of black boots appeared from the corner, followed by the corner of the official uniform.

Everyone on the playground unconsciously held their breath, waiting for the owner of the robe to reveal his true face.

However, the next moment they saw a tiger tail hanging in a hook shape.

"Is it Master Tong's tiger?" Someone whispered.

"It's not like, the one you hold in your hand is a cat, right?" Another person said.

The time for the two sentences was fleeting, and Tong Ran finally came out from the corner and stepped into the playground.

The young man was dressed in an official uniform, holding a tiger cub the size of a full-grown cat in his arms. He was well-proportioned and handsome, and had nothing to do with being tall and ferocious.Even, because of his age, the skeleton has not yet opened, and he feels a bit weak.

Such a person turned out to be the one who sentenced those people outside to death.

The newcomers who had never met Tong Ran couldn't believe it, so that Tong Ran didn't realize it until he joined the team.

"Why, you all seem to be dissatisfied with me?" Tong Ran said with a smile.He spoke in a gentle manner, but because of his righteousness, his voice clearly spread throughout the playground.

The people who were in a daze came back to their senses. Those from Xiaoguo County had already knelt down to salute.

"See you, my lord!" These people hurriedly knelt down to salute, each shouting higher than the other, fearing that Tong Ran would not be happy, so they pulled them out and beheaded.

The sound of saluting resounded through the sky, but Tong Ran didn't seem to hear it. He asked You Yang, "If in front of the imperial court, you don't salute your majesty, how should you be punished?"

You Yang clasped his fists: "Return to my lord, I have no respect, and I can stick thirty."

Tong Ran and You Yang's questions and answers were all righteous, and they could be heard clearly in every corner of the playground. The cold sweat dripped from the people who were late for the ceremony just now.

Tong Ran nodded, and said in a serious manner: "The rules in front of the imperial court are really strict. I don't know if it is convenient for Master You to silently give me the rules of reward and punishment for the imperial guards. It is my first time managing soldiers, so I can refer to it."

"As long as it's not confidential, it's fine." You Yang said.

"Then it's hard work to have a general." Tong Ran smiled.

They spoke casually, but the people listening below were in a cold sweat.Although they didn't know what the regulations were before the emperor, they would be beaten with [-] canes just for not saluting, which is evident from the severity.Thinking of this, those who kneeled more casually during the salute just now adjusted their postures and kneeled properly.

"Get up." Tong Ran said, "Everyone has come from a long way, you have worked hard."

"Reporting to my lord, it's not hard!" Xiatou Qiqi shouted.

Tong Ran was also shocked by the momentum, seeing the nervous faces of these newcomers, it seemed that his beating just now worked.

"Yes, very energetic." Tong Ran paced to the right along the formation, "Diligence and steadfastness are the most important thing when working under me. I don't like flattery or lazy people. If you let me If you catch him, there is only one way to dismiss him, do you know that?"

"It's clear!" Xiatou shouted again.

Tong Ran nodded, took two steps back to the left, and introduced: "This is the tour leader sent by Yuqian. He will also serve as a supervisor in the future, and you will be trained and dispatched by him."

"Yes!" The newcomers have already shouted out experience, this time the voice is particularly neat.

Tong Ran continued: "Everyone has a three-month internship period and will be trained by Captain You. After passing the training, they can become full-time guards and become personal guards of the Overseer's Mansion. During the internship period, five taels of silver per month, including food and lodging. Two silver coins, double salary at the end of the year, and room and board are also included. If you have any objections, speak up now."

There was no sound for a while.

It's not that there is any objection, but that the price is really beyond their expectations.

Take Xiaoguo County as an example. In ordinary yamen county, only lunch is included, which costs seven taels of silver per month.It sounds like it's only a little higher than the internship period, but because you have to take care of your own board and lodging, it's actually not much higher, let alone compared with the salary after you become a full-time employee.

Just now Tong Ran was dismounted as soon as he came, and they thought that life would be difficult in the future, but they didn't expect that Jin Hejian was given such a generous amount of money.

What are you afraid of being strict?It would be nice to earn money!

"My lord," someone dared to speak, and immediately attracted the attention of all the staff. The man swallowed in fear, and said, "The villain is stupid. I don't know why the double salary at the end of the year. Please advise me."

Anticipating this question, Tong Ran immediately said: "There will be two salaries in December. If it is counted as a year, it will be twelve months a year, and you can get thirteen months of money."

And such a good thing?The eyes of those newcomers lit up.

"Any questions?" Tong Ran asked again.

No one made a sound below.

"In this case, these people will be trained by General You." Tong Ran said, nodding to You Yang.

You Yang replied: "Master Tong, don't worry."

Tong Ran explained to him a few more words, and left with the little tiger in his arms.

Tong Ran left, the training officially started, and all the newcomers were eager to try.They had long forgotten the bloody scene outside, and they all wanted to train hard and become regulars as soon as possible. Such a generous government office is hard to find.

"Everyone line up." You Yang shouted, "Fifty laps around the playground, start, run!"
