I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

The soldiers threw away what they were holding and cursed under their breath.

"We are from the security team, protecting the safety of the people of Wei County, not the corpse cleaning team. Doing this dirty work... It's really damn unlucky!"

"That's right. Last month's military pay hasn't been paid yet..."

"We still need to disinfect. Who would be willing to do this job?"

……

Fu Jichang felt a sinking feeling in his heart as he listened to their chattering.

The state government gives reward silver to the county guard team every three months, and the prefect said that it has never been in arrears.

The guard team includes people who patrol the village, patrol the mountains, and people stationed in the village.

The purpose is to ensure the safety of the people.

The bandits looted two villages and the county was completely unaware of it.

If Heita hadn't brought the documents from the Tongpan, the county probably wouldn't have paid any attention to it.

Let the villagers fend for themselves.

This is really unreasonable!

Fu Jichang clenched his fists, said a few words to the tree root, and left with Heita with a cold face.

The soldiers at the entrance of the village stood in two rows, and the county magistrate was giving a speech with his hands behind his back.

Fu Jichang stood behind the soldiers and looked at Magistrate Shen with a cold expression.

Magistrate Shen felt uncomfortable as if he was being stared at by a pair of sharp eyes.

He looked behind the soldier.

A look of shock on his face!

It’s obvious that the thin man behind is not an ordinary person!

He has a lean body and is full of intimidating power, and he is a martial artist.

His eyes were calm and stern, and he was a man of great shrewdness.

He has been in the officialdom for many years, so he can still see this.

Who is he?

Calm down! Calm down!

No matter who he is, once he comes to Wei County, he has to listen to me.

I am the head of a county and I cannot lose my authority!

The soldiers were startled by the county magistrate's strange expression.

Who is standing behind you?

The soldiers' backs were covered in cold sweat!

The county magistrate coughed lightly and asked the soldiers to clean up thoroughly, leaving no dead corners and disinfecting as quickly as possible to ensure that the people return safely.

County Magistrate Shen looked at Fu Jichang proudly: Do your job well, no matter who you are, you won't be able to find fault with me!

Fu Jichang: It’s easy to find fault with you!

The soldiers all dispersed to work.

Fu Jichang turned around and was about to leave.

Magistrate Shen came over here holding his robe, followed by a man with a pointed chin and monkey face.

"Mr. County Magistrate!" Fu Jichang stopped and leaned forward slightly to call out coldly.

The sharp-mouthed man shouted at Fu Jichang: "You are such a coward! The person standing in front of you is the county magistrate. You..."

Magistrate Shen glared at him and raised his hand to stop him.

Fu Jichang glanced at the vicious face of the pointed-mouthed man, then looked at County Magistrate Shen.

"I wonder where you are from, young man? You don't look like a villager." County Magistrate Shen's chubby face curled into a smile.

"My cousin's family lives in this village. I was visiting relatives and happened to run into a bandit incident!"

The county magistrate wanted to ask more questions but was interrupted by a loud voice.

"I didn't know the county magistrate was coming, so I failed to greet you. Please forgive me!"

Ji Lizheng started shouting from a long distance away from the county magistrate.

His legs were shaking so badly that he was holding up the ground.

Ji Xiaobei hurriedly supported him and lifted him up.

Ji Li was hanging on Ji Xiaobei's arm and walked to the county magistrate with weak legs.

Ji Xiaobei's hands loosened and he fell to the ground with a thud.

"Ji Mingliang greets the County Magistrate!" He rested his head on the ground, not daring to look up at County Magistrate Shen.

"Ji Lizheng, get up. I heard from the headman that your village trained the villagers in advance and raised the courtyard wall to defend against the bandits. You did a good job! You reduced casualties. Of the two villages attacked by bandits, your village suffered the least casualties. It's all thanks to you, Ji Lizheng. When things are settled, I will reward you!"

When County Magistrate Shen said this, he glanced at Fu Jichang.

Ji Xiaobei: Bah, if you have the guts, reward me now.

Ji Lizheng shuddered when he heard what Magistrate Shen said. He didn't dare to take all the credit for such a great achievement.

He kowtowed twice in a hurry and said, "My Lord County Magistrate, as the head of the village, Ji Mingliang has done what he should do.

As ordinary villagers, Ji Xiaobei's family has made great contributions. They taught the villagers martial arts, escorted the villagers to retreat, and entered the village to kill the bandits. They were the first to charge!"

As Ji Lizheng was speaking, he reached out and pulled Ji Xiaobei's sleeve.

Ji Xiaobei pushed the stone forward and said, "Mr. County Magistrate, this is the only male in Ji Xiaobei's family!"

The county magistrate did not look at Shi Tou, who was kneeling on the ground, but raised his eyes to look at Ji Xiaobei.

When I entered the village, I met this tall and mighty woman with broad shoulders and a thick waist. I estimated that she could lift a wild boar with one hand.

If he hadn't met her in the village, he would have thought she was a bandit.

I remembered what people said, that Hu Zi was chopped to death by a tall and strong woman. I heard that she looked as ferocious as a tigress.

The county magistrate shuddered...

But looking at this woman, although her body is stout, her facial features are well-made, with a straight nose, dark round eyes, and a chubby face with soft fleshy lips.

Cough, cough, cough, the county magistrate cleared his throat and put on a compassionate smile on his face.

"Who is this female warrior?" the pointed-mouthed man suddenly asked impatiently.

Ji Xiaobei looked behind the fat county magistrate at the pointed-mouthed man known as the legal advisor.

A trace of doubt and fear quickly flashed across the pointed-mouthed man's eyes, and he was caught red-handed by Ji Xiaobei.

The first time I met him outside the village, I found his cone-shaped face extremely disgusting.

She thought she was prejudiced against the county magistrate because of his inaction.

At the moment, it doesn't seem like that. Ji Xiaobei felt very depressed and uncomfortable, and couldn't remember where he had seen the pointed-mouthed man before.

Fu Jichang saw Ji Xiaobei staring at the pointed-mouthed man absentmindedly with a strange expression on her face, and the pointed-mouthed man was also staring at her blankly.

He blocked Ji Xiaobei behind him and said to the county magistrate: "Shi Tou is a member of the Ji family and knows some martial arts. If the county magistrate wants to reward him, he should reward him and the patrol team!"

Fu Jichang winked at the men standing nearby.

Several men knelt down in front of the county magistrate.

The county magistrate nodded: "I've made note of it!"

County Magistrate Shen encouraged them a few more words and then let them go back to work.

Fu Jichang: You old bastard, never mention the reward!

The provincial government allocated so much money, but it was all wasted?

Ji Xiaobei came back to his senses: County Magistrate Shen is the best at making empty promises!

You can tell at first glance that he's a veteran. Don't even think about getting a single reward from him.

Magistrate Shen said he had official business to attend to and could not stay long, so he left in a carriage.

Ji Li was cursing in his heart. He had originally wanted to make some money, but now it was all over, nothing.

He also promised the patrol team that Ji Xiaobei would bring back the great man's money.

Ji Xiaobei never mentioned it, so it probably doesn’t exist.

Hey! Great charity and kindness also depend on fate, so I told them that if fate doesn’t come, who can help?

Three people in the patrol team were killed and two were injured.

Ji Li was having a headache.

The county magistrate and his entourage had already left, but Ji Xiaobei was still staring at their backs in a daze.

Fu Jichang patted her arm and asked in confusion:

"Pointy-mouthed man, do you know him?"

Ji Xiaobei shook his head thoughtfully: "I don't know him, but it's a very familiar face. I seem to have seen him somewhere before, in a dream? Or somewhere else?"

Fu Jichang frowned nervously: Have you ever dreamed of Master Feng? This old dog is not a good thing!
