In the famine, she stockpiled space supplies and became a bandit.

The person who received Mr. Sun and his companions was Rong Bai. As soon as he saw them, he asked with a smile, "Hey, are you guys here to deliver military pay to the boss again?"

He stretched his neck and said, "Is it silver or jewelry that you are sending today? Come and open my eyes."

Mr. Sun: "..."

What about the face?

Have you been eaten by a dog?

"Rong Bai, don't play dumb in front of us. You took the things, but what about our official positions?"

The others also glared at him angrily: "Yes, it's the rule to take money from others to do things for them. You must give us an explanation today."

"Everyone, you can't blame me for this." Rong Bai curled his lips and sighed, "I almost wore out my lips because of your affairs these two days. Look here, here."

He reached out his hand and pulled at his lips, revealing a few small blisters caused by eating too much recently.

Mr. Sun and his friends had no time to chat with him: "Alright, alright, just tell me the result."

Rong Bai put his hand down with regret: "The result is... the person you recommended is too poorly educated and does not meet the requirements of the boss, so he was not selected."

Mr. Sun: "..."

"You're talking nonsense. Not to mention the county magistrate and the county magistrate, there are also the chief clerk and the legal advisor. I don't believe that my son can't even become a legal advisor after studying hard for more than ten years."

"That's right. My nephew is well-known for his knowledge in Tongning County. Many teachers have praised him highly. It is impossible for him not to be selected."

"Yes, you must have deliberately not chosen them. You must give us an explanation today. We are not greedy, so just arrange a position for them as county magistrates."

County magistrate? How dare you think that?

Rong Bai rolled his eyes secretly: "Anyway, I didn't get selected. If you want an explanation, don't look for me, look for him."

Rong Bai raised his hand and pointed to the corner over there.

Only then did Mr. Sun and his companions realize that Rong Bai was not the only one in the room. There was also an expressionless man in black sitting at the table over there.

"Ninth, Ninth Floor Master?"

Why is this evil spirit here?

Several people were so frightened that they even breathed more slowly.

Jiuxian raised his eyelids and glanced at a few people. Sun Yuanwai suddenly felt a chill all over his body, but he was unwilling to give up after thinking about it. He suppressed his fear and asked: "Master Jiu, what do you think about this matter..."

"Simple." Jiuxian lowered his head and rubbed his fingers: "Fight with me, if you win, you will be the county magistrate."

Mr. Sun's mouth twitched fiercely a few times: "Ninth Floor Master, they are just scholars and do not know martial arts."

Jiuxian didn't say anything this time. He pinched a candy bean and threw it into his mouth, eating it with relish.

But the "crunching" sound of chewing made the hairs of Mr. Sun and the others stand up, as if he was not eating candy beans, but chewing their bones.

No one dared to say anything more and left in shame.

Rong Bai looked at their miserable state and laughed out loud: "As expected, evildoers will be punished by their own evildoers."

"Bad guy?" Jiuxian raised his head and glanced at Rong Bai.

The smile on Rong Bai's face froze: "I was just kidding."

Jiuxian didn't argue with him, he stood up and walked out: "Don't forget my reward."

"Got it!" Rong Bai curled his lips.

He was impressed by the fact that a grown man could not stop talking about snacks.

On Luo Xi's side, things went incredibly smoothly.

Whenever they arrived with their troops, the county magistrates would either open the city gates and bow down, or abandon the city and flee. They didn't even have a chance to fight a few proper battles, and the entire Nanyue County, except for the provincial capital, had already belonged to them.

Now Luo Xi just needs to wait for Wei Qing and others to take over and then he can go back.

When the people knew that they would be under the management of Chaoyang Villa in the future, they were all overjoyed.

"That's great. We were originally planning to secretly move to Tongning County, but now we don't have to move at all. We can just become bandits in Chaoyang Villa."

"Yes, I heard that there are more and more people rebelling in various places now, and the court may want to recruit soldiers again. Now that we have become people of Chaoyang Villa, we can avoid it."

"But Chaoyang Villa also needs troops?"

"Don't worry about that. I have a cousin who married to Tongning County. She told me that the soldiers under the boss are all volunteers. They will not be forced to join, and their treatment is super good."

"Really? That's good, that's good. I only have one son left in my family, and I can't bear to see him leave."

But while they were happy, they couldn't help but worry.

"Do you think the county magistrate sent by the boss will be the same as the previous county magistrates, who only care about enjoying themselves and don't care about our lives at all?"

People, you look at me and I look at you.

"No way. I heard that Tongning County is well managed by Lord Wei. The villagers there are enjoying a good life. And the selection of the officials this time is in charge of this Lord Wei."

"Yes, Lord Wei is a good official. For the sake of us common people, he was regarded as a traitor by the court of Tianqi. The officials he selected must be good."

"It's true that Lord Wei is a good official, but I'm afraid those people will pretend to obey but actually disobey. And there's only one Lord Wei, how can he care about so many things?"

"That's right." The people began to worry again.

You know what, there really is such a person. Dong Yue, the former county magistrate of Cangfeng County, bribed several major families in the county by relying on the fact that he had been the county magistrate for many years when Wei Qing came to inspect.

He also used intimidation and bribery to treat the people under his rule. When Wei Qing asked him about it, he was full of words praising Dong Yue, saying that he was a good official no matter how you looked at him. So he was kept and appointed as a county magistrate.

The two poor scholars, Su Jing and Zuo Xun, were also kept here and served as county magistrates and chief clerks to restrain the county magistrate.

"I never thought that Lord Wei would give us such an important position." Su Jing looked at the spacious and bright county magistrate's mansion in front of him and was deeply moved.

"Yes." Zuo Xun nodded: "We must do our job well and never let down the trust of the boss and Lord Wei."

"Let's go. Aren't relief grains being distributed today? We have to go and keep an eye on it."

"Row!"

The two men rushed to the granary with full enthusiasm. These grains were transported from Tongning County by the military advisor to help the people temporarily overcome the difficulties, so they could not be careless.

When the two arrived, Dong Yue was already there distributing food.

Su Jing felt extremely ashamed and quickly apologized: "No wonder everyone says that Mr. Dong is a good official. I am not as good as him."

"It's okay." Dong Yue smiled and said, "We are all working for the boss, so it doesn't matter if we come earlier or later."

The two of them had a better impression of him and praised him a few more times before starting to work.

But after a while Su Jing realized something was wrong. He remembered that the document clearly stated that an adult would be given one bushel of wheat and one bushel of corn. Why was only one bushel of corn given this time? Where did the wheat go?

As soon as he found out, he naturally asked immediately.

Dong Yue glanced at him and laughed, "Secretary Su, you must have been traveling too much recently and your eyes are blurry. It's clearly one bushel of corn per adult, look."

As he spoke, he opened the document and spread it in front of Su Jing. It indeed only said one bushel of corn per adult, and there was no mention of wheat at all.
