The Widow Chen then issued a few more orders.

After appointing Huo Wa as the Guard Captain, he led the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Platoon into the County Yamen for preliminary inspection.

He ordered the commander of the fourth platoon and more than twenty soldiers to occupy the north gate.

He ordered General Da to take charge of the east and south city gates, and maintain security in the area east of North and South Street.

was ordered to gather the yamen runners and soldiers who were supposed to be in charge of security in the western part of North and South Street, and to protect the western part of the city gate.

As the orders were passed down, the number of soldiers in the vicinity dwindled. The onlookers' expressions gradually relaxed.

In the end, the Widow Chen cupped her fists and said with a smile, ”Fellow villagers and elders, it is my first time here and please forgive me for disturbing you. Everyone disperse. Those who want to leave Yi Zhou City, pack up your luggage immediately, and the Yi Zhou City's four city gates can enter as they please. This King will first thank those who want to stay and assist This King in creating a beautiful tomorrow. This King promises that in the future, your lives will be ten times, a hundred times better than they are now! ”

The onlookers were stupefied. They didn't believe such a promise at all.

In fact, some scholars even showed disdain. They thought that these bandits were just speaking nicely, but didn't hesitate to kill them.

Widow Chen didn't want everyone to accept it immediately, so she smiled, pointed to the big drum on the left and said: ”Since you are your king, then I will help you all. From today onwards, the name of this drum would be changed to the Proof of Injustice Drum. Anyone who has a grievance can come here and sound the drum! ”

The audience remained dumbstruck. This was how the drum was used. It used to be used by the county magistrate, but now it's yours.

Compared to the woman on stage, everyone felt that the county magistrate who had his head cut off was more reliable.

”Disperse, go back and think about it. Whether you want to leave or stay, you can do as you wish!” The Widow Chen waved her hand and dismissed the citizens. Then, she turned around and walked inside, saying at the same time, ”Prime Minister Cao, General Da Fang, follow me into the palace!”

”This official obeys the decree!” The two of them immediately followed him respectfully.

Although he did not call out to Jiang Xiaobai, Jiang Xiaobai could only smile bitterly and followed him in.

Yi Zhou City was a three-way courtyard, and behind the door was a courtyard that was about thirty meters wide and twenty meters deep. There were two chambers on both sides, which were the residences of the yamen runners, the anchorman, County and Grand Master.

Directly in front of him was the main hall. It was a square with a height of six to seven meters, with an eaves at each corner, and pitch black pillars. Although it appeared old and worn out, it was still a dignified and solemn building.

Behind the lobby was the second courtyard. That should be where the county magistrate lived.

Behind them was a small garden. Although it was only 200 square meters, it was still a little refreshing.

At the same time, Huo Wa had already completely controlled the entire County Yamen, and all the people standing at the highest points, the servants, servants, cooks, and sedan bearers who were originally in the County Yamen, were all gathered in the front courtyard, trembling and kneeling down, some women were even crying.

Huo Wa ran over, knelt on one knee, and said: ”Mistress, we have searched all of your County Yamen, and brought seventeen people for all of them.”

The Widow Chen circled around those people, muttering to herself, ”There are so many people here, we can't even have some casual meals, what should we do? Kill them all? ”

Once he said the word ”kill”, Huo Wa immediately pulled out the Pure Jun Sword.

”Mercy, your majesty, mercy!” Those seventeen people were scared out of their wits, crying and begging for mercy.

The Widow Chen revealed a smile and said, ”Forget it, there is a lack of manpower here. If you all still have some ability and are willing to serve this king, then this king can let you go.”

”Your Majesty, we are willing!”

”Mercy, my lord, I am a gardener, I can serve the king's garden!”

”I am a chef. I can cook all kinds of dishes for the King!”
