Chapter 664 The End of the Year is Approaching
Reading Settings
664 years are coming to an end
He paused, gently closed his folding fan, and said in a firm and decisive tone, "Therefore, my suggestion is to escort them to Caishikou and publicly execute them in the market."
In this way, not only will the authority of the laws established by Lord He be demonstrated, but it will also serve as a warning to others, letting the people of the city see our determination to maintain public order.
It also serves as a warning to those who might be prone to causing trouble, urging them not to act rashly.
Upon hearing this, a look of satisfaction flashed in Mr. Wang's eyes. Yuan Cangming's suggestion not only met the practical needs but also served to warn the people, making it a wise and decisive decision.
Mr. Wang's eyes turned slightly cold, and he said softly, "Cangming's decision is correct; these troublemakers should be dealt with accordingly."
He chuckled softly, "We were still a bit too timid. If my student had come, he probably would have already stormed the Yu residence."
He shook his head again and laughed, "Of course, we are not adults. We cannot be too young and impetuous. We still need to be mature and prudent in our actions."
Ordinary people like us should think things through before acting, as being too impulsive may bring unnecessary trouble.
Cangming also needs to consider this carefully.
Yuan Cangming nodded, but his eyes gleamed with admiration for Mr. He's style of doing things.
Wielding an enormous, unparalleled broadsword, he seemed capable of wiping out all the hostile forces in Changzhou with a single swing. Heads fell to the ground like rolling stones, a scene that must have been awe-inspiring and exhilarating.
He acts decisively and simply, and his heart is filled with longing.
The secret passage said, 'Only extraordinary people can employ extraordinary methods.'
Yuan Cangming touched the folding fan, a hint of excitement and longing in his eyes, and smiled slightly, saying, "This is also due to the Yu family's good fortune."
If the adults had come in person, the Yu family would probably have already ceased to exist, reduced to ruins.
The way you, sir, have acted—with methods and decisiveness far beyond our reach—it's truly fortunate that the Yu family is still alive at this moment.
Officer Fei, Chu Ci, and Bu Yaoyao all nodded in agreement with Yuan Cangming's words.
Since arriving here, Chu Ci and Bu Yaoyao have heard about He Chen's many deeds in the past and witnessed the newly renovated Changzhou. They have gained a deeper understanding of Lord He's ruthlessness and decisiveness.
Lord He is known for his swift revenge; once he has a target in mind, he will act decisively without needing many reasons.
Swift and decisive, ruthless and decisive in killing.
If it were Lord He who were here, the Yu family probably wouldn't have sent a few bandits to test the waters.
If they have sufficient means and the ability to confront the adults, they will probably have to send out their entire forces.
However, he was clearly unsure of himself, and seeing that Lord He was not present and Mr. Wang was in charge, he naturally thought of testing the waters.
Of course, it's also possible that someone else is using him to do the dirty work, but there's no need to worry too much about it. There are too many things that can't be found out. If there's any follow-up to this matter, there will eventually be a clue.
Mr. Wang nodded slightly without saying anything more; all that was needed was to wait patiently.
Mr. Wang remained silent, but he felt no tension or worry. Compared to his previous involvement in things he disapproved of, he felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders, and he felt as relaxed as if he were floating on air.
Thinking that he had a good disciple, as fierce as a tiger descending the mountain and as domineering as a dragon soaring into the sky, with such a strong backer as solid as a rock, he naturally no longer needed to hesitate or be timid in his actions.
Governing Changzhou was a hands-off affair, allowing him complete autonomy. He felt a deep sense of trust and reliance, thinking to himself, 'This trust is more profound than the vastness of the sea and sky, more enduring than the height of mountains and the length of rivers.'
Thinking of his own slight display of literary talent, a knowing smile crept into his eyes. 'Changzhou, Changzhou, I was overthinking it.'
At this moment, I feel an unprecedented sense of peace and freedom.
'In my leisure time amidst the white clouds, I act according to my heart's desire, and live up to what I have learned.'
To consider pale yellow as insignificant is also a mistake!
Mr. Wang said softly to Cangming, a deep meaning flashing in his eyes, yet seemingly without any particular meaning, "Cangming, quickly send a message to the dean, asking him to send more ordinary students here to serve as instructors or teachers."
But remember, this is the territory of Lord He. If any students are willing to come, make sure they understand that all the knowledge taught here is required by this place.
Hopefully, they can adapt to this environment, only then can they truly appreciate the essence of the knowledge and learning here.
Cangming pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly, a knowing smile appearing on his lips, and replied softly, "I understand what you mean, Senior Brother."
The dean surely understands this perfectly, and he certainly wouldn't refuse such a good opportunity. Don't worry, senior brother, I will definitely handle this matter properly.
Mr. Wang nodded, looking at Cangming with concern, and said, "When the year draws to a close, I will also need to go to the border town to report on the governance situation here. Cangming will go with me then."
Let's see if there's any way to treat it.
Cangming was touched and bowed, saying, "Thank you, Senior Brother. You've gone to so much trouble."
With a soft remark, without offering many further words of thanks, her eyes reddened slightly, and a warm current flowed through her heart.
Mr. Wang shook his head slightly and said in a low voice, "There's no need for this between us."
He thought to himself, 'I'm afraid that if there's no cure for He Chen, then there's no way to cure him.'
Suddenly, a faint, familiar bell rang in my ears, crisp and melodious, like a string of melodious notes dancing in the air, or a gentle breeze caressing my heart.
A smile played on Fei's lips, a smile that revealed a hint of nostalgia and admiration.
She said softly, "Class is over, haha, I'm used to that voice now."
A smile spread across Officer Fei's face, as warm as the spring sun. His words carried a hint of nostalgia for his own school days as he softly said, "The children in my family are all attending primary school now."
She remarked with a hint of admiration, "I never expected that someone who could hardly concentrate on studying at home would actually be studying so diligently in elementary school."
Officer Fei was excited and sincerely praised, "Many thanks to Lord He and his wife, and also to Governor Wang. It is thanks to the great help of these gentlemen that the children of the people of Changzhou have the opportunity to study."
This kindness is as deep as the sea and as heavy as Mount Tai. Only now can the children of Changzhou have access to education.
Their merits are immeasurable, their deeds will be recorded in history, and their fame will last for generations!
Mr. Wang smiled slightly. Even if he didn't crave fame, such a pioneering achievement still made him feel a little intoxicated.
He returned the greeting slightly and chuckled softly, "What Officer Fei said truly makes me blush a little. For a mere mortal like myself to feel a sense of pride."
All this is thanks to Madam's good fortune. Although taxes here have increased by 10%, the matter of the primary school is still being handled according to the standards of other cities, as instructed by Madam.
Changzhou is also carrying out primary school education, although it has only been a short time and there is still some gap compared with the border city, but the results are remarkable.
