I really don't want to be a rebel [infrastructure]

Luo Shixing already knew through Cheng Jingwei's narration that Jiaozhou City had been destroyed badly, but he didn't expect it to be so dilapidated. Basically, there were only two sides left on the four sides of the city wall, and those two sides were still incomplete, and most of the houses in the city had been completed. ruins.

There were not many people coming in and out, and when they saw it occasionally, their eyes were numb, and they looked like walking dead. When they saw the governor's team, they just hid aside and shivered, and they didn't even dare to look at this team.

The official position of governor has brought too much haze to the people of the state city, and they have instinctively refused to believe that even if the state city was not managed by any officials before, they have formed a certain social order in their own way, and it is much calmer than before.

But now there is a new governor, and they are all worried that this new governor will bring them greater disasters?

Luo Shixing entered the state city in silence, and it was not that no one was watching. After all, they all had good looks. Luo Shixing and Cheng Jingwei led the way. Now Cheng Jingwei is the Sima of Jiaozhou, which means that all military power Still in his grasp.

When Luo Shixing applied to the imperial court for Xiao Shanshi to be the county magistrate, he also brought Cheng Jingwei along.

In fact, he was also selfish at the time. His assassination was already the result of the court's compromise, but maybe the higher-ups wanted to send an outsider to be Sima to control the military power.

If there was another one, this person might still want to use Luo Shixing as a puppet. After all, Luo Shixing was relatively young, making him the governor would sound like a joke.

Luo Shixing wasn't worried that he wouldn't be able to suppress the newcomers, but that would be too much of a waste of energy, and it would be very annoying to think about fighting with others.

If you wrote a separate memorial requesting Cheng Jingwei to be the Sima of Jiaozhou, the court might not agree, but the two things together, compared to letting a woman be the county magistrate, Cheng Jingwei as Sima of Jiaozhou would be more acceptable.

It may not be enough to be respectful in terms of resources and history, but they have a lot of military exploits. Those who can find so many military exploits in the imperial court are generally impossible to become Jiaozhou Sima, unless they are demoted.

Therefore, compared to the fact that Xiao Shanshi's appointment would cause the court to quarrel for more than half a month, Cheng Jingwei's appointment was much happier.

As the second in command of Jiaozhou, he followed Luo Shixing and kept observing carefully.

As long as there are people, there will be rivers and lakes. Similarly, as long as there are people, there will be classes. Jiaozhou was in chaos before, and under such circumstances, someone might take advantage of the situation.

Their only flaw now is that they are too hasty and don't know enough about the situation in Jiaozhou city. After all, no one thought that the imperial court would let Luo Shixing be the governor of Jiaozhou.

Although Cheng Jingwei said congratulations on this appointment, he was actually not very happy about it. He had been to Jiaozhou City, and it was not very good at that time, and it was even worse that no one would deal with it afterwards, especially when Luo Shixing saw the dilapidated Jiaozhou City When he was obviously dazed for a long while, he even wanted Luo Shixing to resign for a moment.

Anyway, even if they don't become officials, they will live in the same way. The worst is that Xiao Shanshi will not be able to become the county magistrate.

However, Luo Shixing never flinched, and it was hard for him to say so.

When he saw the run-down and robbed Governor's Mansion, Cheng Jingwei immediately turned his head and said to Wang Antong, "I'll tell you to let people strictly investigate who dared to plunder the Governor's Mansion."

No matter how dilapidated Jiaozhou City was before, the governor's mansion was fine, even Liu Yanyou didn't make the governor's mansion too dilapidated when he left, after all, he had to save some face for the people who came later.

Now that the governor's mansion has become like this, it must have been robbed by the people in the city.

The faces of Li Youdao and others on the side were not very good-looking, he frowned and said: "How can this live?"

It's not that he's delicate, after being exiled, he also suffered a lot. It's not like there was no place when the sky was on the ground, but the problem is that there is no place to set foot in the governor's mansion now, and even the flowers and trees inside have been pulled out.

The doors and windows were also taken down, and all the houses were almost left as empty shells, and the inside was naturally dusty, so it looked like it would be better to sleep outside.

However, Luo Shixing was the governor, so he had to sleep outside on the first day and was easily looked down upon.

Luo Shixing laughed and said, "It's still possible to live in it after tidying it up. It just happens to be arranged according to my liking."

The governor's mansion was bestowed by the imperial court, and it was built according to the prescribed layout. The position and height of the house cannot be moved, so only the garden and other places can be moved.

Cheng Jingwei disagreed and said: "When I came here, I saw that the posthouse seemed to be okay, why not live there first."

Luo Shixing comforted him and said, "It's okay, it's not too cold anyway, so come here."

Probably no matter what happens, once these four words are used, everyone will be easily persuaded.

So Cheng Jingwei was convinced. Fortunately, they brought a lot of people this time, including more than half of the entire alliance army. Cleaning the room is no problem.

Luo Shixing rode around the governor's mansion on horseback and said with a smile, "Aside from other things, this place is at least much bigger than our original place."

However, Cheng Jingwei thought this place was not pleasing to the eye. Seeing that he was unhappy, Luo Shixing bumped him with the shoulder and said, "Okay, don't be unhappy. At worst, let's find a place nearby to build a manor, and then live there. Come here every day." Go to work, go home after work."

Cheng Jingwei said helplessly, "That's not what I meant...forget it, let's do this first."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Antong over there came over with a gloomy face and said: "Master, Sima, I showed someone to look at it just now. This place was robbed recently, and the stubble on the damaged part of the door and window is still very new, not more than Five days."

Luo Shixing froze for a moment: "Are you sure?"

His appointment as governor of Jiaozhou was an edict issued nearly a month ago, but it may have been a few days before the news was received here, because the new governor took office, the county magistrates still have to come to worship the pier, and the officials inside the state city also want to visit the dock. meet.

It's a pity that there are almost no officials in Jiaozhou City, and the rebellion almost killed them all.

Therefore, after Cheng Jingwei calculated the time, his expression darkened immediately: "It seems that someone in this city is targeting us."

Perhaps those people were not targeting them, but the person who served as the governor of Jiaozhou, but it's no different now.

Luo Shixing twitched his fingers and smiled lightly: "It seems that someone has benefited from the recent chaos, go and find out who it is."

If it is a big family in the city, that is one way to deal with it, if it is just a gangster who took advantage of the opportunity, then naturally it is another way to deal with it.

Cheng Jingwei also ordered: "No matter who it is, as long as it is found and the evidence is convincing, it will be arrested."

After he finished speaking, he turned his head and said to Luo Shixing: "There shouldn't be many rich families in this city. The state capital was defeated in two rebellions. The first targets of the rebels when they entered the city were these rich families, or anyone with money. They were all their targets, and these people were the first to be hit."

After hearing this, Luo Shixing understood that the goal of the rebels from the very beginning was money. The higher-ups might have a goal, but the lower-level people had absolutely no idea. Of course, they would not let anyone go when they entered the city to plunder, but the rich There is always something good in the house.

Therefore, the richer the family, the first to be looted, and the rebels used to have the habit of massacring the city. If Cheng Jingwei hadn't arrived in time twice, the Jiaozhou city might have become a ghost.

Under such circumstances, it is estimated that none of the wealthy households in the city survived, but those poor bastards who used to be very poor. At this time, they can occupy a place by relying on their low moral sense and more vicious personality than ordinary people.

Anyway, even if the rich family is not dead, it is impossible to stay in Zhoucheng. Naturally, they want to move to a more stable place.

From this point of view, as long as someone who is found to be inappropriate is arrested, it is nothing.

Just as Luo Shixing and Cheng Jingwei were thinking about how to improve the law and order in the city, those who benefited from the chaotic city had already gathered together.

The leader was one-eyed. At this time, when he heard the report from the people below that the new governor had brought many people, most of them were troops, he immediately became timid.

He was not a tyrant in troubled times, and he was nothing more than a king without tigers and monkeys in the mountains to put it bluntly.

He can thrive in the chaotic state city, but it would not be a good thing for him if order is restored in the state city.

So from the very beginning, he organized his staff to drive out the new governor, especially when he heard that the new governor was very young, he said with contempt: "It's just a yellow-mouthed kid."

However, when he heard that the new governor came with the army, he was a little scared.

He hesitated for a while, looked around and asked: "Let's talk about it, everyone, this new governor doesn't seem to be easy to deal with."

He already has a lot of money now, even if he doesn't do anything for the rest of his life, he will be rich and old. At this level, he doesn't want to take risks, but he still has to be careful about what his subordinates think.

One-eyed thinks that his wealth is enough because every time he grabs more than half of the money, the people below don’t have enough money. If there is no way to get money now, maybe they will go back to the way they used to eat. Days without a break.

How can they bear this?

So the goatee next to him immediately said: "No matter how many people under the new governor, can there be as many people in the city?"

One Eye frowned: "What nonsense are you talking about? What do the people in the city have to do with us?"

The goatee has always played the role of military adviser in the team, and now he could not help stroking his beard and laughing after hearing what the one-eyed man said: "The words of the big master are not right. These common people are better than the army if they are used well. The new governor will never dare Let our subordinates massacre the people, otherwise we can send people to Guangfu with a single paper, which is a serious crime."

One-eyed nodded earnestly. Goatee was the only one among them who had read a little, so what he said naturally made sense, so he asked, "Is this really feasible?"

The goatee rolled his eyes and said with a chuckle: "Of course it is possible, maybe this little governor can be exasperated tonight!"
