Li Xun glanced at Zheng Jing: "You are very clear about the matter in Ganzhou!"

Zheng Jing was dressed in a ragged manner and had no ambitions. Such a person was very clear about the affairs of the four counties in Ganzhou, which had to arouse Li Xun's doubts.

Zheng Jing coughed twice and said embarrassedly: "Although Dashi people and the Western Regions are quite alert and alienated to the Han people, they are simple by nature and especially hospitable. In their teachings, they should support and care for the elderly, weak and hungry people. After I entered the western part of Longyou, I was penniless. After hearing what others said, I went to try it. Unexpectedly, as long as I found a foreigner and showed that my helplessness was hungry, they generally would not refuse and would kindly give food and accommodation. I have been going back and forth in Ganzhou for almost two months. I just returned to Xiayuan County yesterday."

Chen De glanced at Zheng Jing with some contempt: "Since you have no money, stay at home honestly. Even if you don't have any land to plant, you can still fill your stomach with a coolie job. It's better than begging everywhere like this."

Zheng Jing sighed, "My father always wanted to travel around the world, but unfortunately he was weak and sick since childhood, and he was unable to reach the point. He never even came out of the county until his death. This is my lifelong regret. I was born as a son, and even if I was a bastard, I still wanted to fulfill this wish for him."

Chen De glanced at Zheng Jing and his impression of him changed.

Afterwards, Li Xun stopped talking, drank wine silently and thought about the problem. Seeing this, everyone stopped talking and had their own meals.

Zheng Jing was full of wine, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, glanced at Li Xun, and was about to say goodbye and leave.

At this time, more than a dozen people who were angry among the people rushed in. The strong man in their hands were holding sticks, but the leader was holding a big knife. His fierce eyes were scanning the surroundings. When the restaurant owner saw this group of people, his face changed drastically. He hurriedly ran over and said in a low voice: "Mr. Liu, you are here, please sit down."

The strong man holding the knife said viciously: "Stop talking nonsense to me, have you made up enough money?"

The restaurant owner said bitterly: "Three thousand taels are too much, please give me a few more days."

"Where are you playing with me?"

The strong man with a knife hit the restaurant owner in the face and screamed. The restaurant owner covered his face and rolled in pain on the ground. This circle was obviously a desperate move.

Then, the strong man with a knife waved his big knife and shouted, "Brothers, smash this restaurant."

A group of people began to smash the restaurant and disperse the guests who were eating. It would be fine if they were Han people. If they had obvious characteristics, they would just go up and take action, and the methods were extremely cruel.

Li Xun and others sat at the innermost tables. It was not their turn yet, but it was soon, and several evil people were walking towards them.

"Master, these people are not afraid of hitting people to death."

Chen De whispered to Li Xun.

"Get out quickly, or I will kill you."

Several people holding sticks had already walked up to them and pointed at them and shouted loudly.

"Leave that leader to me."

Li Xun looked at the group of people coldly, gave an order, then picked up the wine glass and continued to drink.

Jiang Daxiong laughed loudly, stood up first, and rushed towards the group of people.

Without any suspense, Jiang Daxiong rushed forward and strode to the strong man with a knife. In his astonishment, a knife hit the strong man's right shoulder, screamed in pain, dislocated his arm, and fell to the ground with his hand. Then, Jiang Daxiong grabbed the man and returned to Li Xun near.

In just a moment, the remaining ten people were also dealt with by Chen De and others. They were not easy to attack. Most of the evil men fell to the ground and howled in pain and could not get up.

"Who are you? How dare you go against the government? Can't you rebel?

The strong man shouted.

"You are actually from the government?"

"Of course, we are all yamen runners and constables in the government. Those who know the truth will let me go immediately, otherwise you will definitely not die a bad death."

He was really a man from the government. Li Xun was stunned for a moment and couldn't believe it. These people were all frightened and frivolous. They were obviously not good things. Will the government collect such people to do things?

Xia Yuan knew some of this and explained softly.

Zhou Xiansen, the magistrate of Xiayuan County, obviously had turned to Zhao Tong and was preparing to severely oppress foreigners. In this way, foreigners were likely to cause trouble. Once the trouble broke out, the government naturally had to send people to suppress him. The government only had a small manpower, how could it be possible to deal with it? Generally, in this case, local garrison help would be requested, but Niu Jin, the Ganzhou defense envoy, was Li Xun's person. Now Zhao Tong and Li Xun's orders and policies are completely different. It is impossible for the government to seek their help.

Therefore, several county magistrates in Ganzhou who were willing to obey Zhao Tong's orders have been expanding the number of county corpses recently. For example, Zhou Xiansen, the county magistrate of Xiayuan County, has recruited more than 300 people in the county in the past month.

Li Xun rolled his eyes and cursed: "These people have read so many books. They are really not enough to make trouble. What can they expect to do if they are the bad apples?"

The strong man was still clamoring and insulting Li Xun. Jiang Daxiong was not polite to him. He just went there and asked him to shut up.

The movements of Li Xun here obviously alarmed other officials outside. A personal soldier rushed in and whispered: "Master, someone heard the sound in the store and intended to break in. I cleaned up, but it also attracted the attention of their accomplices. Hundreds of people are gathering in us."

Chen De said in a deep voice: "Master, it's not suitable for a long time. Let's leave first."

Li Xun sneered coldly: "Why should I leave?"

After saying that, he asked Xia Yuan: "Niu Jin, the defense envoy of Ganzhou, led his army to the Western Regions, and some soldiers were left to garrison?"

Li Xun went to the Western Regions and drew all the troops from the seven western states of Longyou, but not all of them were drawn. After all, the Longyou War had just ended, and people were unstable and had to be guarded. Therefore, Li Xun asked the governors and defense envoys of each state to leave at least 500 people to guard the local area.

Sure enough, Xia Yuan nodded and said, "Leave five hundred people, the military camp is three miles outside the city."

Li Xun took out his military talisman from his arms and handed it to a personal soldier. He said coldly: "Take my military talisman and go to the city to dispatch troops, so that they can go to the city immediately to clear the public security in the city. All those who claim to be constables in the government will be arrested for me. If you dare to resist, tell them that you can kill people."

Li Xun originally didn't want to turn against Zhao Tong so quickly, but in the current situation, no matter what Zhao Tong means, the prefectures and counties below are becoming more and more intense. If he sits aside, a riot may be not far from him.
