“No, you gave me such a big gift, how could I not return it to you? Our Zhao family has always believed in repaying kindness with drops of water. And I have already prepared the gift, so just wait for the news.” General Zhao smiled and shook his head, like a fox.

“This is your family’s business. I’m just returning to the original owner. Don’t be like this, I only helped you a little.” Liao Tingyu was about to cry.

“It’s precisely because you helped us that I want to thank you.” General Zhao patted him on the shoulder, got up, and went to drink with the others.

Liao Tingyu looked at his back and punched and kicked in his heart.

After staying overnight in the military camp, he hurried back to the county government office to deal with matters. By this time, the county’s official statistics on the number of deaths had been reported.

Liao Tingyu squinted at the content presented and touched the official seal. Now that he had made up his mind, he would not look back.

Those people died unjustly. Although these criminals were not as fierce as the bandits, they were still like wolves eating meat at home.

What he hated the most in his life was the abuser type, and right now there were not just a few of them here but a lot of them. Anyway, a lot of land in Linxian County needed to be reclaimed, and he needed a lot of manpower for it, so he should make good use of it.

Liao Tingyu said angrily: “So many people have died. Those who did domestic violence and beat their wives and children to death really deserve death penalty. But they are all my people. As the parent of our county, although these people are full of bad deeds, I can’t just give up on them…”

Liao Tingyu thought for a moment and said: “You guys go to the villages and towns to check if there are any scumbags who like to beat people, or even those who have killed their relatives and sold their children. We need to reform them so that they will not be targeted by those killers. Remember not to be too violent. After all, our starting point is to protect their lives.”

“I understand, sir, but those people are gangsters. What should we do if they disobey? And if they know we want to reform them, they might misunderstand us and they run away, there is nothing we can do.” The yamen servant was a little embarrassed. It was no small thing.

“Then, you don’t have to do anything. You just need to investigate first who is in these bad situations. Then register them and hand the list to me. We are here to act as one.”

The government officials also think this method was good, but they didn’t quite understand Magistrate Liao’s painstaking efforts. Those bastards were no use, it would be better for them to be dead.

‘Just kill them directly and let those who are suffering be relieved.’

This was what they thought in their hearts. But they didn’t dare to say it.

This was their superior’s order and they had to strictly follow Liao Tingyu’s instructions.

Usually, nothing big happened in this county. They didn’t have to care much about things. They just being idle around all day and had no chance to show off.

The key point was the county magistrate came back yesterday and actually brought several elite soldiers with him, leaving them useless and he might fire them anytime.

The opportunity was right in front of them, and they had to show off their power. Only fools would waste it!

.

In this dynasty, each county could formulate corresponding laws and regulations according to local folk customs, with national law as the highest priority.

When Liao Tingyu received the list the next day, he discovered that there were only over one million people in Linxian County, but there were actually as many as a thousand people on the list, and the circumstances were terrible.

In order to get some praise in front of the superior, the yamen servants also listed all the things done by those who could be called beasts.

So, Liao Tingyu angrily added a clause in the Linxian regulations he was still writing. Anyone who committed domestic violence would be imprisoned, and the time would depend on the seriousness of the domestic violence.

And they must do corresponding work every day to transform themselves.

This law was engraved on the county government’s stone tablet after he obtained the specific laws.

People coming and going looked at the new content on the stone tablet and were a little confused.

Those who were illiterate quickly asked if there was anyone who could read and listen.

It was a pity that even if some people knew about it, they didn’t take it seriously.

Some sensible old people who had seen big storms quickly advised those who like to beat their wives not to do it again.

This new official took office with three fires. The fire had been burning in the county government and not outside. Now that the fire had begun to spread, it was better to be careful.

At first, many people were speculating where the county magistrate’s fire would burn?

But no one expected that it would burn to a place that no one had ever seen or heard.

Coupled with Liao Tingyu’s delay in taking action, many people didn’t believe it and thought it was just a formality. They looked up at the county magistrate like a joke.

.

In just half a month, Liao Tingyu completely mastered the specific laws.

He looked at those who were willing to change, and those who committed the crime again and again, and then asked Liao Shi to lead people to arrest them from house to house, and threw them all into prison.

They were all dumbfounded.
