The couple in the last days traveled to ancient times, farming and storing grain and meat in the war

Xiao Yan said, "Be careful with your words." But his brows couldn't help but frown again. How could this be possible without money?

Regardless of whether the other party is greedy or not, he has to find a way to get the money.

County Magistrate Yuan, however, became anxious and whispered hurriedly, "There's no smoke without fire. Besides, when the prefect was magistrate in our county, he was quite corrupt, and the people in our county still hate him to this day."

"What did you say?" Xiao Yan immediately looked at County Magistrate Yuan.

County Magistrate Yuan was unable to react for a moment. "What did you say?"

"Prefect Yao used to be the county magistrate here?" And till now, the county magistrate that the people of Dengping County still hate is not that County Magistrate Wei?

Could this be a person?

"Yes, he used to be the county magistrate here. He was the Wei County Magistrate before Meng County Magistrate. Later, a fortune teller told him that it would be better for him to change his surname to Yao so that he would have a smooth career in the government.

Sure enough, he was originally promoted to prefect, but after changing his surname to Yao, within two years, he became the prefect."

Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes almost imperceptibly, "So it really is him."

The man that the original owner Xiao Yan always remembered was the one who took money to protect the horse rider, ignored Xiao Fushan's repeated attempts to appeal by beating the drum, and even beat Xiao Fushan with several big boards and threw him out of the county government office.

He had been busy with county affairs and had not gone to the provincial capital to meet the prefect. In addition, the prefect had changed his surname, otherwise he would have known earlier that the former Wei County Magistrate was the current Yuzhou Prefect Yao Yifeng.

The original owner wanted to take revenge, otherwise he wouldn't have worked so hard and been under so much pressure.

Xiao Fushan and Tian Shi must also want to avenge this. The original owner's grandfather and brother died because of this.

Since this is the case, he naturally has to avenge them.

We also need to find out the horse rider who doesn't take human life seriously and deal with him as well.

"What do you mean it's really him?" County Magistrate Yuan was even more confused.

Xiao Yan didn't say much, just said: "Don't worry about the money, I will find a way."

Xiao Yan never spoke in an official tone, and County Magistrate Yuan was used to it. Although Xiao Yan didn't speak in an official tone, he had an inexplicable sense of authority. In addition, Xiao Yan was the most senior official in the county government, so County Magistrate Yuan naturally nodded immediately and said, "Yes."

If adults say to find a solution, then we will definitely find a solution.

He now has that confidence in them adults.

After seeing County Magistrate Yuan leave, Xiao Yan called in the servant Xiao Jia.

The original owner didn't know where the horse rider was now, but Magistrate Yao was very likely to know. If he took the initiative to ask Magistrate Yao, Magistrate Yao would definitely not tell him.

Besides, why should he find the horse rider by himself? It would be too much effort. It would be better for him to devise a plan to make Prefect Yao so anxious that even if he didn't know where the horse rider was, he would rush to find him and deal with him together.

Only then could he deal with the prefect and the horse rider at the same time.

Although Xiao Jia was just a servant, he was quite smart. Moreover, he had been with him for so long that he had learned how to do many things.

Now, this matter naturally belongs to Xiao Jia.

"Sir, what's the matter?" Xiao Jia hurried forward, bowed, and asked very respectfully.

"Go to the prefectural capital secretly and tell them that I had a brother, but twelve years ago, he was ridden by a horse and trampled to death along with my grandfather. I heard that the county magistrate refused to handle the case, and the news has spread throughout the prefectural capital."

When Xiao Jia heard this, although he didn't know why he had to do this, he immediately knew that he must not reveal his identity as their master's servant. He immediately accepted the order and said, "Yes, Master, don't worry, I will go immediately."

Having said that, he turned around, disguised himself, and went to the provincial capital.

It just so happened that Jiang Ningning came to the county barbecue shop to check the accounts, and after finishing the check, she came to the yamen to see Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan has no time to go home these days and is staying in the yamen.

Seeing Jiang Ningning coming, Xiao Yan naturally told Jiang Ningning everything.

Jiang Ningning never expected that the current prefect of Yuzhou, Yao Yifeng, was actually the Wei County Magistrate of Dengping County.

However, Jiang Ningning laughed and said, "Your trick is really good. It saves us from looking for the horse rider. The horse rider will probably be found by Yao Yifeng soon, and then the two of them will definitely work together to murder you and eliminate the root of the problem.

After all, you are an official now, and even the emperor knows you. If one day you are promoted to a higher position than the prefect of Yuzhou, then they will all be finished."

Xiao Yan also smiled: "We don't have that much time to deal with them, so we might as well do this and end it quickly." He paused, "Let them finish it sooner."

"Then you should pay more attention." Jiang Ningning also knew that her husband could definitely solve it, but it was just a reminder in vain. She still had to remind him when she needed to.

After all, this is the person she cares about most in the world.

Xiao Yan naturally enjoyed it: "I know. Although their target should be me, there is no guarantee that they won't attack you, because you are my family. In short, you should be more careful.

Let’s not talk about my parents and the other three for now. Just tell Zhou Ping and the others so that they can be more vigilant when protecting me in the future.

It won’t be too late to tell my parents after it’s resolved.”

"Yeah." Jiang Ningning nodded.

……

Xiao Jia dressed himself up as a middle-aged man, put on a mustache, and came to Yuzhou Prefecture.

After asking around a bit, I found a restaurant with the most people and sat down.

This restaurant is a mixed crowd, with people from all walks of life. It is considered the best place in the city to spread rumors and information.

Since Dengping County is located in Yuzhou, and work-for-relief is being implemented everywhere, everyone knows that it was Xiao Yan, the county magistrate of Dengping County in their territory, who proposed this strategy.

Furthermore, Dengping County is indeed within Yuzhou, making it the most effective place to implement this decree. Furthermore, Xiao Yan is Yuzhou's top juren this year, and the youngest person to pass the imperial examination in the state's history...

It can be said that almost everywhere in Yuzhou City, people will talk about Xiao Yan, the magistrate of Dengping County.

What's more, this restaurant.

Even if this group of people eating didn't talk about it, the next group, or people at any table would talk about Xiao Yan, and they would all be surprised.

Xiao Jia ordered some food and ate while seizing an opportunity. He saw people at a nearby table also talking about their young master. He then looked puzzled, sat sideways, and interrupted:

"Yes, I've heard that County Magistrate Xiao is very powerful now. The people who go there to escape famine dare not cause trouble. It's not like other places where there are always people causing trouble. If they suppress one place, there will be another one there."

The people at that table said, "I heard that County Magistrate Xiao came from a farming family. I didn't expect him to have such means and courage."

Another person said, "Yeah, I really can't tell. If you don't know him, you'd think he was a military commander. I heard that within three days of taking office, he single-handedly wiped out the bandit den that had long lived in the back of the county."

"How come he is so powerful?" someone asked curiously.

"Who knows?" said another person.
