I have been a county magistrate for ten years. My subordinates insist on giving me a yellow robe.

Jiang Yuan glanced at Li Hu calmly and said, "Why rush? Leave him alone for half an hour."

"Huh? Sir, there are thousands of people here, why aren't we in a hurry?" Li Hu looked at Jiang Yuan in shock.

Ergou's two or three hundred people are still in their hands. Aren't you really afraid that they will become desperate and do something desperate?

"What are you afraid of? What if there are only a few thousand people? Do they dare to attack us? And those people from Taiping County are not criminals. Sun Xin has no right to deal with them."

After Jiang Yuan finished speaking, he walked towards the Taiping milk tea shop with confidence, grabbed a cold drink, and then slowly walked towards the city gate.

About an incense stick's time later, Jiang Yuan finally climbed up the city wall of Taiping County and looked down.

The leaders, Sun Xin and Lao Li, were shouting something angrily at Ma Zhi. Ma Zhi tilted his head and looked at the sky, playing the game of "you say yours and I look at mine."

"Sir, why don't you go down now? If you wait any longer, Sun Xin might go crazy." Li Hu said.

Jiang Yuan chuckled and pointed at Ma Zhi who was being scolded at the foot of the city wall and said, "Did you see that? Ma Zhi is a bad boy. Every time Sun Xin stops, he looks at Sun Xin's face and forces him to scold him."

"It's the hottest time of the year, and Sun Xin has traveled a long distance. How much water can he get? I guarantee they'll be thirsty in no time."

Li Hu looked at Jiang Yuan speechlessly. You would rather die than let your fellow Taoist die, right? After scolding Ma Zhi, you don’t have the energy to scold you anymore?

Jiang Yuan took a deep sip of milk tea and felt refreshed all over. He then said, "Li Hu, go tell the owner of the milk tea shop to prepare some ice water for the city gate."

Li Hu became more and more confused and could only shake his head and turn away.

Less than half an hour later, at Jiang Yuan's instruction, Li Hu, Zhao Kai and others finally followed Jiang Yuan out of the city.

Sun Xin, who had been a little wilted by the sun, seemed to be revived as if he had been injected with chicken blood the moment he saw Jiang Yuan, and strode towards Jiang Yuan.

However, what they didn't expect was that before he could even open his mouth, Jiang Yuan rushed over and grabbed his hand with tearful eyes.

"Master Sun, I haven't seen you for a long time. I missed you so much."

"It's been a long time since we last met. I'm so excited to learn that Lord Sun is coming today!"

As the saying goes, don’t hit someone with a smiling face.

Looking at Jiang Yuan's enthusiastic face, Sun Xin didn't know what to say for a moment. He forced himself to hold back the words that he had already thought of several times in his mind.

"you……"

As soon as Sun Xin opened his mouth, Jiang Yuan suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, look at my memory. Lord Sun, why did you go to such great lengths to come here?"

Sun Xin's eyes lit up. They were finally getting to the point.

"Jiang Yuan! Do you know what you and your people have done in my Taizong County?!"

"Do you know how many people are left in Taizong County now? Do you know how much damage they have brought to Taizong County?"

Sun Xin roared and spit flew everywhere. Jiang Yuan calmly took a step back.

"I don't know, Lord Sun, why don't you tell me about it." Jiang Yuan looked at Sun Xin slowly.

Jiang Yuan's clueless look made Sun Xin speechless instantly.

That’s right, Jiang Yuan has been staying in Taiping County these days, and he really didn’t lie.

"How about you tell me in detail, Lord Sun?" Jiang Yuan put on an expression of humbly asking for advice.

Sun Xin swallowed his saliva and said in a hoarse voice, "Jiang Yuan, there are only two thousand people left in the entire Taizong County, and they are all old, weak, sick and disabled. Any healthy person would have fled to your Taiping County long ago. You need to give me an explanation for this matter!"

"Also, you must compensate me for all the damage your gang has caused throughout Taizong County!"

Jiang Yuan blinked and said, "Master Sun, I don't know a single thing about this. Why don't you explain it to me so I can understand it clearly?"

"Then how long will it take?" Sun Xin frowned slightly and looked at Jiang Yuan with an unhappy tone.

Jiang Yuan spread his hands and looked at Sun Xin helplessly: "Master Sun, you asked me to compensate you, that's fine, but you have to let me know where the money has gone, right?"

"Even brothers should settle accounts openly. You can't blackmail someone without evidence."

Sun Xin looked at Jiang Yuan angrily, his back teeth almost breaking as he spoke word by word, "Okay, okay! If that's the case, then I'll let you know exactly what the compensation is!"

"First, your men have been wreaking havoc on the people in Taizong County, wandering around the streets all day, deceiving our citizens."

"And what's more! You people in Taizong County actually took advantage of the night to throw garbage and even feces into our Taizong County wells! You didn't spare a single well in the county! We don't even have a clean well in Taizong County anymore!"

Jiang Yuan wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at Ergou and others who were detained in the middle of the team with some guilt.

None of these idiots are honest. Why are you destroying other people's wells for no reason?

But on second thought, this seems to be a business opportunity. There is garbage thrown into the water in Taizong County, and it is either smelly or bitter. Taiping County can transport the water there and sell it.

This is a legitimate business and it is also a necessity in Taizong County. Sun Xin can't say anything, right?

"Well, it's indeed their fault. Take your time and don't be in a hurry." As Jiang Yuan spoke, he waved his hand behind him inadvertently.

The owner of the milk tea shop who had been hiding at the city gate suddenly rushed over with shining eyes.

"Water for sale! Cool ice water!"

Sun Xin, who was about to continue speaking, suddenly stopped. He had walked hundreds of miles and had almost finished the water he brought with him.

Ma Zhi was already dry-mouthed after scolding for a long time, and now he was talking to Jiang Yuan for a long time, and his throat was about to smoke.

"Water seller, come here quickly!" Sun Xin waved his hand.

"Hey, sir, would you like to buy some water?" the milk tea shop owner said, directly handing over a full cup of ice water.

Sun Xin swallowed his saliva, took it and drank it all in one gulp without even asking the price.

Sweet and sour, refreshing and delicious!

"Another cup." Sun Xin breathed a sigh of relief and handed the cup to the milk tea shop owner.

The milk tea shop owner smiled happily and handed over another cup: "Sir, just drink it. My water is cool and thirst-quenching. It is definitely a first-class drink to beat the summer heat."

"Well, it's really good. Let's give them a few drinks too." Sun Xin said, pointing to Lao Li and his group behind him.

"Good good!"

Jiang Yuan stepped forward silently and said, "Master Sun, there is still a lot to say. Please continue. I am listening."

After drinking the water, Sun Xin felt refreshed and continued to talk about the evil deeds of Ergou and his gang.

This conversation lasted until the evening. Apart from Sun Xin who kept talking, the owner of the milk tea shop was extremely busy.

A total of about a thousand people came from Taizong County. Except for Ergou and nearly three hundred others who were from Taiping County, the rest were from Taizong County. They had traveled a long distance and stood in the sun for most of the day, and they drank water like buffaloes.

Jiang Yuan saw all this and a sly smile flashed in his eyes.

Go ahead and drink it. I guarantee that none of you will make a sound after drinking it.
