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

Oh! That’s right, they kicked the guards and injured Magistrate Tang. How could that be possible?!

A bailiff shouted, "Great! You are the ones who hurt my master. Come on, brothers, take them down and put them in jail."

"Yes! Let them go to jail to sober up."

"That's right, let them know who in Dan County they shouldn't mess with!"

The bailiffs were still rolling up their sleeves and chattering loudly!

Seeing his master's increasingly cold eyes, Mu Feng could only sigh in his heart.

Hey! You guys forced me to do this.

Then, he gave up talking to the idiot who couldn't understand what people were saying. He was really tired.

He rushed over and beat up the yamen runners who were talking about their superiors.

At this time, the prince was surrounded by many guards, and as soon as Mu Feng left his master, they would take over.

Everyone put their hands on the hilt of the knife, just in case.

County Magistrate Tang had just recovered and before he could say a word, the people around him were beaten one by one!

A wailing sound was heard, and the people who were just around him were lying on the ground and unable to get up in the blink of an eye.

The tall man who beat him was still walking towards him.

Oh my god! So scary!

County Magistrate Tang turned around and tried to run, but Mu Feng grabbed him by the collar.

"County Magistrate Tang, where are you going? My master is waiting for your reply!"

Magistrate Tang smiled a smile that was uglier than crying, and asked in a trembling voice:

"Who is your master?"

Mu Feng replied coldly: "My master is King Dongshan!"

County Magistrate Tang felt that he must have hit his brain just now. What did he hear?

"King of Dongshan? Huh?"

Mu Feng was too lazy to look at the silly county magistrate, and simply grabbed his clothes and brought him in front of King Dongshan.

When County Magistrate Tang saw Prince Dongshan surrounded by guards, his knees went weak and he knelt down.

He didn't want to kneel, as it would make him look so spineless, but his knees had a mind of their own.

Logically speaking, he was also an official, so when he met the prince he only needed to stand and greet him.

As a result, he knelt down as soon as they met.

Although he was annoyed, he felt weak all over and couldn't get up.

Who could have thought that his small Dan County would welcome a prince!

King Dongshan said sarcastically, "Tang County Magistrate, what are you doing? You don't need to perform such a grand ceremony, do you?"

In order to save his dignity, County Magistrate Tang could only say:

"It's all my fault. I didn't recognize the King of Dongshan, so I let my subordinates offend the prince. I apologize to the prince on their behalf."

The beaten yamen runners: It has to be our county magistrate. He actually pleaded for them. We are so touched!

King Dongshan was in no mood to beat around the bush and asked directly:

"Mr. Tang, where do these soldiers belong to? Why are they guarding your government office? Why are the soldiers at the city gate stopping the disaster victims?!"

County Magistrate Tang: Ah! This...

King Dongshan: "How are you going to deal with these disaster victims?"

Magistrate Tang looked up and defended himself in fear: "Your Highness, these disaster victims are not people under my jurisdiction!" So they are not under my jurisdiction.

King Dongshan's eyes were stern. "So? Are you going to leave the disaster victims here to fend for themselves? Is that how you act as an official?!"

County Magistrate Tang turned pale and sweat ran down his face:

"Your Majesty, they are the disaster victims from Yingzhou. The wealthy counties in front of us did not open the city gates. Our Dan County is poor and small, and we cannot bear so many disaster victims.

In order to protect myself and keep the people of Dan County from being harmed, I…I can only…can only…”

King Dongshan angrily pointed his fan at his nose and cursed:

"Bullshit! The victims of the disaster in Yingzhou are not human beings, they deserve to die? The counties ahead are all doing this, so you are doing the same? They are going to be beheaded, do you want to follow suit?"

County Magistrate Tang was speechless. Although he felt that blocking the city gates for the disaster victims was a bit unethical, he was also doing it for the sake of his own people. What was wrong with that?

King Dongshan ordered Mu Feng: "Send a letter to the court immediately and have people investigate and punish all officials in Yingzhou. Why did they conceal the flood?! The people were displaced!

All county magistrates and officials from Yingzhou to Danxian must be severely punished! No official who turned a blind eye to the disaster victims and did not help them must be let off!

If they deserve to be killed, they should be killed. If they deserve to be chopped, they should be chopped! "If they want to die, I will send them on their way.

Mu Feng clasped his fists and said, "Yes! I will send a letter to Kyoto immediately!"

Prince Dongshan tapped his palm with his fan, "As for the magistrate of Dan County..."

County Magistrate Tang was shocked and immediately knelt down on the board. Was he going to be punished?

He studied hard for ten years and finally got a job as an official. Although Dan County is a relatively poor place, he is still an official after all.

I thought he was lucky as he was assigned to be a county magistrate right after passing the exam.

But he also knew that he was only good at studying and was not very capable of being an official, so he thought he could learn it slowly.

Didn’t expect that he would be convicted in just over a year?

King Dongshan couldn't bear to see him acting so stupid, but he had to make do with him for now.

The first priority is to stabilize the victims.

He said: "The magistrate of Tan County should observe the results first and then make a decision."

That is to say, we should first see how he deals with the victims. If he settles them well, he can be exempted from punishment. But if he does not do it well, he will be punished for both the new and old crimes.

County Magistrate Tang also understood what he said. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

King Dongshan: "Get up, Magistrate Tang, you must now prepare to resettle the victims." Stop kneeling here and poking his eyes.

County Magistrate Tang glanced at King Dongshan in embarrassment and reported with a lack of confidence:

"Your Highness, I...we don't have much food in Dan County. If we were to resettle all these disaster victims, I...we couldn't afford to feed them."

In one word: [poor]!

King Dongshan frowned, and Magistrate Tang was so frightened that he almost knelt down in front of him again.

He said with a sad face: "Really...really, our Dan County has neither mountains nor water, and the land is relatively poor. It is not easy for us to ensure that our people have enough to eat every year."

Apart from the taxes paid to the court, his people still struggled to get enough food.

King Dongshan: So, you just lie down?!

Seeing that the prince looked unhappy and afraid that he would not believe it, he quickly called the clerk to bring the account book of Dan County, and he carefully handed it to the King of Dongshan with both hands.

King Dongshan took it with a displeased look and flipped through it, thinking that he was really quite poor.

"It's obvious that you are poor!" King Dongshan said gritting his teeth.

He angrily threw the annoying account book into County Magistrate Tang's arms and pointed at him to scold him, but seeing his timid look, he didn't even want to scold him.

How can such a person be an official?

He expressed deep doubts.

Not daring to delay the resettlement of the disaster victims for even a moment, he immediately gave orders to his own people:

"Send someone with my token to send a letter to the nearby counties with granaries, asking them to transfer food for disaster relief and stabilize the victims first."

If we continue to let this go, I'm afraid something big will happen.

After seeing the messenger leave, he pinched his brows in annoyance.
