Chapter 264 Deserve to be treated well

 Next, Gu Xi was busy quelling the chaos and providing disaster relief, which basically went smoothly. The reactions of the rebels and refugees in various places were similar to those in Dongyang County and other places.

However, in a place called Wuchang County, the rebels were very fierce and hated the imperial court.

Even though they were frightened by the Golden Dragon spacecraft first, after learning that Gu Xi and the others were members of the imperial court, the shock caused by the Golden Dragon disappeared immediately, and they resisted fiercely.

The reason is that the previous Magistrate Tang of Wuchang County exploited and squeezed the people here too hard. He was the biggest disaster here, let alone making decisions for the people.

He bullied men and women, sold children, occupied fields, and committed all kinds of evil. Moreover, he also used his power to privately increase taxes and recruit corvees to build a palace for himself for his own enjoyment.

As if he were a local emperor!

The officials above were not unaware of what he was doing, but this man was willing to spend money to show his respect, so the officials above turned a blind eye.

Some time ago, some farmers here couldn't bear it anymore and began to resist, trying to kill the Tang County magistrate.

However, this man got the news and ran fast enough, so the rebel army could not kill him.

Before Gu Xi came here, she had already learned some information through surveillance, so before arriving, she stopped the Golden Dragon spacecraft and asked people to arrest the Tang County magistrate.

The whereabouts of Magistrate Tang can be easily captured through the surveillance system, so it is easy to catch him.

Therefore, when facing these rebels who resisted fiercely, Gu Xi directly threw the Tang County magistrate out.

"Is this the person you call the dog officer? I will hand him over to you and let you do whatever you want." Gu Xi said,

"How much money he has embezzled over the years, I will make him spit it out to you. I will also arrest those officials who took his money and protected him one by one, and confiscate their property to compensate you.

But there is one thing that this palace cannot do, and that is your dead relatives. I cannot bring them back to life. I'm sorry.

I know that you no longer trust the imperial court, and you also hate and fear the officials of the imperial court. However, I ask you to try to trust me one last time.

I and the Emperor will never allow such a beast to serve as an official again, and you may still suffer injustice in the future, but if you are really wronged, I can guarantee that you will never be left with no way to sue and die unjustly!"

As Gu Xi threw Magistrate Tang out, and following her sincere words, many rebels took the initiative to put down their weapons and couldn't help covering their faces and crying bitterly.

And the refugees were also crying.

Because they seemed to really see a ray of light in the darkness of despair.

The desperate and aggrieved cries of these refugees made Gu Xi feel heartbroken and sad.

Many officials accompanying him felt the same way, and at the same time they also felt a sense of shame and pressure.

"Are you telling the truth? Will you really deal with those corrupt officials?"

The leader of the rebel army was a thin young man. He did not cry and asked Gu Xi seriously.

"At the latest the day after tomorrow, I will capture all the officials related to this beast and send them here for execution."

Gu Xi said.

The thin young man was stunned for a moment, then knelt down and said, neither humble nor arrogant,

"Thank you, Queen! The common people have gathered people to rebel and are willing to die. However, please let these people go. They are really suffering. They are desperate and have no choice but to follow the common people to rebel."

Gu Xi looked at the young man in front of him, thought of some of the pictures he saw on the surveillance camera, and for a moment he felt a love for talents and said,

"I know you. Your name is Song Jie. You are a scholar. You are talented in learning and planning. You are very popular among the people here. How old are you this year? Have you passed the Juren exam? Who else is there in your family?"

Song Jie was not surprised when he heard Gu Xi tell his information. He knew that the queen had some extraordinary means.

After getting the other party's promise that they would deal with corrupt officials, he also had a changed view of the current court and such a queen, and no longer blindly hated and disgusted her.

Therefore, when he heard Gu Xi’s question, he responded respectfully,

"Returning to your wife, I have just passed my twenties, and I was a scholar at the age of sixteen. I wanted to take part in the imperial examination last year, but my bride was taken away by this beast, Magistrate Tang, and she committed suicide after being humiliated!

The grassroots wanted to go to Beijing to complain, but as soon as they left the county, they were arrested by the Tang County Magistrate, who wanted to silence the grassroots.

Fortunately, the grassroots people were rescued and survived.

After the grassroots returned secretly, they learned that their parents had also been arrested and died tragically in prison!

The common people are really heartbroken and angry, and they know very well that now that the officials are protecting each other, the common people are afraid that even if they go to the capital, they will not be able to cure the Tang County magistrate.

Therefore, in order to take revenge, the common people began to contact people to rebel..."

Gu Xi fell silent after hearing this.

She didn't expect that Song Jie's life would be so miserable.

Song Jie laughed miserably and pointed at the group of people behind him.

"Mother, the grassroots people were harmed by the magistrate of Tang County. Their families were destroyed, but the grassroots people were not the worst. They were all like this, and they all had a blood feud!"

Gu Xi felt a little suffocated.

The other accompanying officials and the Imperial Guards all showed sympathy and wanted to kill the Tang County magistrate who was lying unconscious.

What a beast!

"Before, I thought simply. I don't know other people's sufferings, so don't try to persuade others to be kind."

Gu Xi sighed, looked at Song Jie and said,

"From today on, you are the county magistrate here. Maybe except for you, no one else who comes here as a county magistrate can enter the hearts of the people and heal their pain, but you should be able to."

Song Jie, "???"

Not only will he not die, he will also be directly appointed as the county magistrate?!

Song Jie was completely confused and in a trance. He stared at Gu Xi blankly and forgot his words.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

The people behind Song Jie kowtowed excitedly and expressed gratitude.

Once again, they truly felt that the Queen really cared about them, so their hearts burst out with endless gratitude.

At this time, Gu Xi also felt the warmth in her soul, as if a warm current surrounded her.

[Beauty, these people’s telepathy is really strong, they are really, really grateful to you!]

When Gu Xi saw the system, her mood became more complicated.

She just did what she should do, but these people were so grateful.

They deserve to be treated well!

For several days after that, Gu Xi would feel this warm current from time to time.

Every time, the system will give her a reminder, for example, the refugees are extremely grateful to her for drinking meat porridge.

For example, because the refugees were allocated fields and improved seeds, many of them built longevity memorial arches for Gu Xi at home.

Another example is that because Gu Xi dealt with corrupt officials, the people became hopeful and couldn't help but be grateful to her.

Gu Xi,......
