Before Xia Yun had time to leave, the news had already spread throughout the streets and alleys of Dai County.

Ordinary people naturally couldn't bear to see Xia Yun leave, and they shed tears in grief.

But at the same time, all the wealthy merchants in Dai County were collectively reveling as if it were a festival.

yellow house.

"God has opened his eyes! He has finally transferred that skinning county magistrate away!"

When the servant brought the news that Xia Yun was about to be transferred, Mr. Huang burst into tears of joy on the spot.

Previously, in order to please Xia Yun, he sent his daughter away, but he never expected that it would backfire.

Not only did Xia Yun fail to reduce his tax, but he was forced to pay several percent more.

"Master, according to reliable information, Master Xia will leave Dai County this morning. Should we go and see him off?"

The Huang residence’s housekeeper asked.

"Send it! Of course I will!"

Mr. Huang slammed the table and stood up.

"Go and invite Master Zhao, Master Zhang, Master Wang, and Master Xiang right away...invite them to the Huang residence for a gathering!"

Mr. Huang immediately gave the order.

"Yes, old slave, let's do it now."

The Huang family's steward left the hall and immediately sent four servants to quickly go to the homes of wealthy merchants in Dai County to report the news.

After a while, all the invited masters appeared in the Huang Mansion.

"Congratulations, congratulations! Our Dai County has finally seen the blue sky after the clouds and fog have been cleared!"

"That's right. During the years that Xia Yun has been an official in our county, the people have been living in misery and the business world has been in chaos!"

"Once Xia Yun leaves, Dai County will be ours again!"

"..."

A group of wealthy businessmen gathered together. As soon as they met, they congratulated each other with excited smiles on their faces.

If there were people from outside Dai County present at this moment, they would probably think that the entire Dai County was living in dire straits.

"Everyone, now that Xia Yun is gone, my Huang family announces that we will no longer pay the money needed to suppress the bandits! This includes all the properties under my Huang family's name, and we will no longer share them with the county government!"

When the atmosphere in the lobby reached a climax, Mr. Huang announced his decision.

"Okay! My Zhang family won't pay any money from now on!"

"My Wang family is not paying anymore!"

"I don't pay money to my family either!"

"..."

For a moment, Mr. Huang's decision aroused a wave of echoes.

For these wealthy businessmen, Xia Yun's departure meant that they no longer had to live in fear.

"This time Xia Yun was transferred to Zhejiang to serve as the fourth-rank prefect of Hangzhou, which can be considered a promotion. From now on, all the industries in Dai County should be under our control!"

After everyone expressed their opinions, Mr. Huang continued to speak.

"But what about the newly appointed county magistrate?"

Suddenly someone in the crowd raised an objection.

Hearing this, Mr. Huang just laughed.

"We just need to wait for Xia Yun to leave and take control of all the troops in Dai County. What can the new county magistrate do?"

Mr. Huang told us his plan.

When everyone heard this, they all agreed with it, and the scene became quite lively.

……

By noon, all the preparations before departure were complete.

Xia Yun appeared outside the gate of the county government office.

At the same time, all the people of Dai County gathered on the wide street outside the city that led directly from the county government gate.

"Master Xia, we can't bear to part with you!"

"Master Xia, now that you are gone, I don't know when I can see your face again!"

"..."

The moment Xia Yun appeared, all the people on both sides of the street knelt on the ground.

Many people even burst into tears in front of him.

For ordinary people, the appearance of Xia Yun saved them from living in dire straits and being bullied by foreigners at any time.

Xia Yun was like their adoptive parent.

Standing in front of the yamen, Xia Yun first looked behind him and saw that all the female relatives and luggage had been packed.

Turning around, Xia Yun felt a rare sense of comfort when he saw the people of Dai County lying on the ground crying on both sides.

Although he was a corrupt official, during the three years that he ran Dai County, he managed to ensure that the people of Dai County lived a life without worries about food and clothing.

Not only that, the bandits and foreign tribes who once could invade Dai County at any time no longer dared to get close to Dai County.

"Please stand up, everyone. I, Xia Yun, have no virtue or ability to receive such great kindness from you all."

"As an official in Dai County, I have done my best to live up to the heavens and the people. I bid you farewell today. Please take care of yourselves!"

Xia Yun stepped forward solemnly, bowed three times to the people on both sides.

At that moment, an octogenarian walked out from the crowd, holding a large umbrella in his hand.

"Dai County is what it is today, all thanks to your hard work. As we leave today, the people of Dai County have nothing to give us as a gift, so we would like to give you an umbrella and pray that you will have a stable career!"

As the old man spoke, he tremblingly handed the Umbrella of All People to Xia Yun.

Xia Yun took the Wanmin Umbrella, his eyes full of relief.

The moment he opened the "Wanmin Umbrella", countless strips of cloth danced in the wind, like the protection of the people of Dai County.

"Let's go!"

Finally, Xia Yun gave the order.

The entire team immediately set out towards the Dai County city gate in a mighty manner!

Along the way, all the people of Dai County bowed down in worship.

About half an hour later, Xia Yun and his party arrived at the gate of Dai County.

A group of wealthy merchants from Dai County, led by Mr. Huang, had already been waiting here.

Seeing the team stop, Mr. Huang walked out from the crowd as a representative.

"On behalf of all the merchants in Dai County, Mr. Huang respectfully wishes Mr. Xia Yunxia a promotion!"

As Mr. Huang was speaking, the servants who had been prepared behind him delivered a large number of gifts.

"Congratulations to Master Xia Yunxia on his promotion!"

Almost at the same time, other wealthy merchants also spoke up, with expressions of reluctance on their faces.

Seeing this, Xia Yun's mouth curled up slightly.

How could he not see what these old foxes were thinking?

Xia Yun waved his hand to signal his servants to accept all the gifts sent by the wealthy and powerful merchants in Dai County.

Then his eyes swept over Mr. Huang and others.

"I have been an official for three years and have relied on your full cooperation. I am very sad to see you part today. I only hope we can meet again soon in the future."

Xia Yun spoke slowly.

However, these words made all the wealthy merchants present tremble in their hearts.

After being suppressed for so long, their true thoughts were obviously that they never wanted to see Xia Yun again in this life.

After he finished speaking, Xia Yun did not wait for anyone to respond, but led the team directly out of the city gate.

These old foxes want to rebel while he is away?

Still a little tender!

Although Xia Yunren was about to go to Jiangnan to take up his post, he had already made arrangements for the affairs of Dai County.

Even if he was not there, there was no way he would let this group of wealthy businessmen turn the world upside down!

"The people of Dai County respectfully bid farewell to the great judge!"

When the entire team had left the Dai County gate, the farewell voices of the people of Dai County were heard again behind them.

Xia Yun felt a surge of emotion in his heart, but soon his eyes regained their wisdom.

"Where is the imperial envoy now?"

As the team marched, Xia Yun spoke calmly.

"My Lord, the imperial envoy was sent out of the city at dawn. I think he should arrive in Chen County in another day."

Xu Wan'er at the side responded, with murderous intent quietly flowing in her eyes.

Chen County is two hundred miles away from Dai County.

"very good."

Xia Yun nodded.

"Then wait until the imperial envoy passes through Chen County and brings my silver back to me."

Xia Yun glanced in the direction of Chen County, and a sinister smile immediately appeared on the corner of his mouth.

A eunuch wants to take away his 100,000 taels of silver?

What a dream!

"Don't worry, sir. The troops we sent out will follow the imperial envoy closely. Once he passes Chen County, they will immediately disguise themselves as bandits and rob and kill him."

Xu Wan'er's expression remained unchanged. This kind of thing was already a piece of cake for her and she had no psychological burden at all.
