When Shi Yi thinks about Xianyu, someone always comes to disturb her.

Only the city gate looks quite presentable, with the two big characters of "Dancheng" carved on it. No one knows what it looked like originally, but now it has been corroded by time and is almost unrecognizable.

King Dongshan had never heard of this place before. This was his first time here.

King Dongshan took a walk around the city. It was just an ordinary county town, not very big.

Only the streets in front and behind the county government office are relatively neat. The houses farther away look a little low, and it is obvious that there are not many rich people in this county.

Walking into an alley near the county government office, it became even narrower and more crowded.

The houses on both sides are low and dilapidated, some even have thatched roofs exposed. The residents here obviously do not live well.

There are many vendors setting up stalls on both sides of the street, and the sounds of hawking can be heard one after another.

Most of the pedestrians on the street are dressed simply and have a simple and honest look.

Occasionally a few mule carts or horse carriages passed by, raising a cloud of dust.

There were many people who looked like guards at the gate of the county government office, holding spears and standing straight.

Mu Feng briefly explained the reputation of the county magistrate to the prince:

"According to the owner of the teahouse, the county magistrate here is named Tang. He was a new official sent by the imperial court last year. He rarely comes out and keeps a low profile.

The former county magistrate was old and seriously ill, so he sent a letter to the court, asking to resign and return home to recuperate. "It's hard to say whether he is still in office now.

King Dongshan looked unhappy and snorted:

"He has been the county magistrate for a year, but people around him are not very familiar with him. Why do you think that is?"

Although Mu Feng had not followed King Dongshan for a long time, he knew that if the prince asked a question, he would answer according to what he thought.

Even if you say something wrong, you won't be blamed. The prince doesn't like people who are smooth-talking and cunning.

Mu Feng said bluntly: "Maybe this county magistrate is rather aloof." He is a person who is high and mighty and has a cold aura.

King Dongshan smiled mockingly: "Some people, after becoming officials, think they are superior to others, and take the salary from the court and retreat to the local area to enjoy themselves.

He has no ambition and does not do any serious work. He does not seek to achieve anything but to avoid making mistakes. Humph!

The emperor is far away and the mountains are high. They are the parents of this place and no one dares to do anything to them.

What a life! Tsk tsk, I envy it. "

Although he said he was envious, there was coldness in his eyes.

Mu Feng knew that the prince was probably irritated by the disaster victims scattered all over the streets.

He lowered his head and didn't step forward to avoid bad luck.

King Dongshan took out a folding fan from the carriage and said to Mu Feng:

"Let's go and pay our respects to the local officials."

Mu Feng: Haha, the county magistrate must have such great dignity to ask the King of Dongshan to pay him a visit!

He got out of the carriage and helped the prince to land safely.

King Dongshan led Mu Feng directly to the gate of the county government office. The guard at the gate immediately shouted:

"Stop! What are you doing?"

King Dongshan tapped his palms with his fan and did not speak to the guards, saying they were not worthy.

Mu Feng frowned and replied bluntly: "Let's go find Magistrate Tang."

The guard didn't listen to what Mu Feng said at all, and swatted away the weapons as if he was shooing away flies.

"Go away! Go wherever is cooler. County Magistrate Tang is busy with official business all day long. He has no time to meet with outsiders."

He said this on the orders of County Magistrate Tang.

County Magistrate Tang has been in a bad mood and looking depressed these days. He had already ordered that he should not see anyone during this period and asked the guards to keep a close eye on the gate.

In fact, if possible, County Magistrate Tang would like to close the door of the county government office.

Because he received a letter from a colleague nearby saying that a lot of victims were pouring in from Yingzhou and if things were not handled properly, there would be trouble.

Let him take precautions early.

He had only been in office for a year and had not yet dealt with many serious government affairs.

So, after receiving the letter, he became anxious all day long.

He was afraid that the disaster victims would flood into his small county town of Dan County, and that his peaceful days would be over!

Therefore, he hurriedly dispatched nearby troops to patrol back and forth to protect the county government office tightly.

But he heard that the victims were starving to death and were in great danger.

In order to get food, they committed all kinds of atrocities, such as burning, killing, looting and so on.

Oh my! Why is he so unlucky?

Having been involved in something like this, can he continue to be an official?

The same goes for these disaster victims. Why do they come to this poor little county when there are so many wealthy counties to go to?

Oh! Other counties and prefectures have sealed their city gates and are not allowing the victims to enter.

He... he could do that, he also stationed a lot of troops at the city gate.

Although those people are pitiful, it is not his fault.

When a severe flood occurred in Yingzhou, local officials concealed the incident and refused to report it to the court.

It was the officials who put the people of Yingzhou to death, not Dan County's responsibility. He cannot be held responsible.

Therefore, he could only follow their example and ruthlessly stop the victims from entering.

This was the first time he had done such a thing, and his conscience was somewhat tormented. He was sitting in the county government office feeling very uneasy.

Hearing a commotion outside the yamen gate, he angrily ordered people to go out and check.

After a while, the person who was checking came back and said, "Sir, there is someone at the door who wants to see you, and his attitude is quite arrogant."

When the young county magistrate heard this, he immediately became furious. He was already in such a difficult situation, and yet someone came to cause trouble!

You really don’t treat the county magistrate as a serious matter, right?

He angrily put on his official hat and was about to go out to see where the lunatic came from! !

The bailiffs hurried to follow.

At the door, Mu Feng had already raised his long legs and kicked the "fly-chasing" guard out.

So annoying!

I don't know whether Mu Feng did it intentionally or unintentionally.

The flying guard hit County Magistrate Tang who had just come out. County Magistrate Tang used his flesh as a cushion for the guard, causing him to grimace in pain.

The bailiff behind him hurried forward to pull the guard away and carefully helped Magistrate Tang up.

The guards hadn't done anything yet, but Magistrate Tang kept crying out "Ouch, ouch!" The yamen runners surrounded their own magistrate and cordially consoled him:

"County Magistrate Tang, where do you feel pain? Where are you hurt?"

"County Magistrate Tang, your arm can't move, right? Call a doctor quickly!"

Haha, it's a mess over there.

King Dongshan felt so disgusted when he saw the pretentious county magistrate and the hypocritical yamen runners!

If you delay any longer, he'll vomit!

It's as disgusting as stuffing fatty pork into your mouth even though you're not hungry.

There are still starving victims outside who have not been settled, and he is actually wasting time here with these bastards!

Who are the brainless ones who elected these damn officials?

Seeing that his master looked unhappy, Mu Feng quickly shouted:

"Who is the magistrate of Tang County, Dan County? Come here quickly and answer." Don't seek death.

The reminder is so obvious, as long as you are not a fool, you should know that the person who comes is not an ordinary person!

But the lackeys who were trying hard to show off didn't understand. They hadn't shown off enough in front of the county magistrate!

Where do these ignorant people come from? They are looking for death!
