I'm the villain in the book

"As soon as Lord Wang leaves, it will take at least a year and a half before the next county magistrate arrives, and even if the new magistrate arrives, will he be able to pacify the bandit?"

"Everyone, listen to my advice."

"I'm afraid there will be no peace in Zhongling County in the future, you guys... better pack up and go earlier!"

"..."

This time, there was no noise, no anger, no dissatisfaction.

After the master said these few words, all the people blocking the door were dumbfounded.

How could they expect that the tall, thin, and never lose his temper the county magistrate would have to resign like this!

They don't need to sue Shangzhou Ya, they quit the job themselves!

But the magistrate can leave, but they can't!

These people's family business is all in Zhongling, who would be willing to leave the ready-made good life, but go to a new place that is unfamiliar and start over?

But if you don't leave... Is it possible that you still have to wait here for the bandits to rob and kill again and again?

"The county magistrate can't leave! I, I am willing to donate money to suppress the bandits!"

I don't know who suddenly shouted, and after a short silence, the harmony sounded instantly.

"Yes, yes! Lord Wang can't resign! My Liu family is also willing to donate money!"

"Didn't the magistrate say before that as long as you have money, you can ask the prefectural government to send troops to suppress the bandits? Let's collect the money! You can't give up Zhongling County to bandits!"

"Extreme! Such a good official as magistrate Wang is hard to find in the world! My Jia family is also willing to take money!"

"Wanchang Mihang is also willing!"

"For my dead son! I donate too!"

"Donate! We all donate..."

"..."

The style of painting in front of the county yamen suddenly changed, and a group of people who had just been indignant to ask for an explanation instantly turned into good citizens with a sense of social responsibility, and they rushed to express their willingness to donate money to suppress the bandits.

Seeing all this, the master was amazed at the clever plan of that young master Wei, but a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.

"Everyone, you are...that's all! Then I will inform the magistrate of this matter to decide..."

"Master! You must persuade the magistrate not to resign!"

"Yeah! Money is easy to negotiate! This official must never quit!"

"Before I didn't want to donate money to suppress the bandits because I was confused! I also asked the master to tell the county magistrate that we already knew it was wrong..."

"Okay, I will tell the truth..."

While dealing with the crowd, the white-haired master waved to the yamen next to him.

Seeing this, the latter retreated quietly, and soon a horse came out of the back door of the county government and went straight to the south of the city.

……

A quarter of an hour later.

On the official road in the south of the city, more than a hundred cavalry soldiers stood upright, while the thin county magistrate knelt down in front of Liang Zhen and Wei Changtian with snot and tears, and finally several talents helped him up.

"Master Liang! Young Master..."

"The old and the old really don't know what to say, such a great kindness, the people of Zhongling will definitely remember it in their hearts..."

"Hahaha, Lord Wang, you don't have to be polite, it's just a little effort."

Liang Zhen laughed twice, and could see that he was in a good mood: "Since those wealthy businessmen are willing to donate money, then we should set off on our way. Mr. Wang doesn't need to send them any more, we will meet you in the future."

"Master Liang... I have another unkind request."

The thin county magistrate looked at Wei Changtian and asked very solemnly, "Forgive the old man to take the liberty to ask the son's name?"

"..."

Wei Changtian was stunned for a moment, and then generously reported to his family: "The Wei family in the capital, Wei Changtian."

"Young Master Wei, thank you...what!"

The thin county magistrate suddenly trembled suddenly, and was stunned in place for a moment.

"You, you are the one..."

"Yes."

It's not surprising that Wei Changtian would have such a reaction to the thin magistrate. He smiled and glanced at Liang Zhen before getting into the car and leaving.

However, after taking a few steps, he suddenly turned around and asked loudly:

"Master Wang, I know you are an honest official, but I don't know whether you are an official for the sake of the people or for your own reputation?"

"Naturally for..."

The thin county magistrate, who had recovered, subconsciously wanted to answer, but he never said the second half of the sentence.

The rapid sound of "da da da" hooves sounded, announcing the end of a small episode in which Wei Changtian and others went south to Shuzhou.

The thin county magistrate froze in place for a long time, then suddenly straightened his somewhat hunched body, brushing off the dust from the worn-out official uniform.

He stretched his arms forward like a ring, raised his hand to his forehead, and gave a deep bow at the raised Lu Chen.

"Thank you sir."

Chapter 87 A Letter to Xiao Feng

After leaving Zhongling County, Wei Changtian and his party quickly left Tanzhou and officially entered the border of Luzhou.

The route they chose this time has to pass through Tanzhou, Luzhou, Peizhou, and Anzhou, a total of four prefectures, almost [-] miles away.

Although it sounds quite far away at first glance, in the world of self-cultivation, even if it is a low-level martial arts, it is not too far away.

It is not difficult for a fast horse in this world to travel thousands of miles a day, and a master of rank five or above can even run faster than a horse.

Hundreds of years ago, after Daning won the national war in Dafeng in the west, there was a second-rank master who traveled [-] miles overnight to return to Beijing to announce the good news.

Therefore, although Wei Changtian and the others were on their way while "touring", it would take about ten days to reach Shuzhou.

……

"Grab the devil!"

"Don't rob!"

"..."

In the slightly swaying carriage, Wei Changtian was fighting against Yang Liushi and Yuan'er.

They rested in Luzhou City last night and are now heading to Anyi County.

It's been ten days since he left Beijing, and Wei Changtian, who is "on the road" almost every day, has long lost his interest in admiring the beautiful scenery along the way. In addition, the weather has gradually become colder after the beginning of winter. Now he basically "gets in the car to sleep and play cards, and gets out to eat and go to the toilet." status.

It looks like the old tour group from the previous life.

"Sir, Shunzi."

Yang Liushi gently placed a stack of cards on the table, Wei Changtian casually glanced at the cards in his hand, shook his head and said:

"No."

"Then the slave family will win."

Yang Liushi smiled and put down the last pair of three in her hand, and applauded herself.

Wei Changtian pouted and yawned while shuffling the cards.

For some reason, he always felt that without Lu Jingyao, playing cards was not as fun as before.

"Zhang San, come and fight, I'll take a break."

He gave up his seat to Zhang San, who rarely had the chance to get to the poker table because of his good memory, and sat by the car window and stretched himself.

"Master, have some tea..."

A timid voice sounded beside him, it was A Chun who was holding a teacup.

After this little girl was taken in, she originally followed Liang Qin, but later Liang Zhen felt that her daughter had too many maids, so she gave it to Wei Changtian.

However, Wei Changtian was not used to being served by a little girl who was less than ten years old. It happened that Yang Liushi did not bring a maid this time, so he simply gave it to Yang Liushi.

So Ah Chun is actually Yang Liushi's little maid.

Taking a sip of the tea with just the right temperature, Wei Changtian asked casually, "A Chun, why did your parents die?"

"Master Hui, my father was bitten to death by a poisonous snake when he went hunting in the mountains."

A Chun bit her lip and whispered, "My mother died of illness later."

Wei Changtian put the tea cup back on the table and asked, "How old were you then?"

"Six years old..."

"Are you nine years old this year?"

"Yes."

"What did you do for a living in the intervening three years?"

"The neighbors in the village see me being pitiful, and sometimes they give me a little food."

A-Chun struggled with his little hands: "Occasionally, I will also pick up some mountain goods to sell in the city."

"Is that so..."

Wei Changtian looked at A Chun's braid, and suddenly thought of Wei Qiaoling, who had no worries about food and clothing.

"I have a younger sister, about the same age as you, she should like you a lot."

"..."

A Chun didn't know how to answer this sentence, so he had to bow his head in embarrassment.

Seeing her like this, Wei Changtian just smiled, and then said to himself, "She has a very stupid dog called Da Gui."

"dog……"

A Chun murmured: "I also had a dog before, named Da Huang."

"What happened to it later?"

"One day I ran away by myself. I searched for it for a long time and couldn't find it."

"It was very old then."

"How do you know, sir?"

"..."

Wei Changtian smiled and patted A Chun's little head: "It's a good dog."

"Oh……"

A Chun didn't quite understand what Wei Changtian meant, but nodded anyway.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound from outside the car.

"Young Master Wei! We will arrive in Anyi County in half an hour. The local magistrate has set up a family banquet. The general asked me to tell you!"

"understood!"

Wei Changtian shouted through the window, and the card game on the other side of the car also ended at this time.

There is no doubt that Zhang San, the "human card recorder", won again.

Knowing that they were about to reach the ground, the three of them stopped playing, and simply packed up the cards and sat down to rest.

It gets dark early after winter, and now it's just the beginning of the year, and the window is already a reddish orange.

Scientific research in previous lives has shown that dusk is the time of day when people are most likely to feel homesick, because it is the time to go home for dinner.

However, most of the people in the car now have no such worries.

Yang Liushi is a demon, Zhang San is an extrajudicial fanatic, A Chun is an orphan... The three have special identities, and they may have almost lost the concept of "hometown".

Wei Changtian came from across the country, and if he really wanted to miss his hometown, he would also miss the blue earth in his previous life.
