Chapter 15 Death of the Former County Magistrate

Sheng Changan frowned. She had taken out the wheat and looked at it. It should be spring wheat. It should be planted as soon as possible so that the grain can be harvested immediately. "Where is Zhang Shi?"

"He went to see how the crops were growing." He paid special attention to the movements of these people in case the adults asked questions.

"Let him come to see me when he comes back. I'll go out for a walk." Sheng Changan could only take a step back. It was still okay if it was only delayed for one day.

It’s a good thing that I came here in spring. If it was winter, I would have died before I could accomplish my mission.

The people on the street also regained their composure, with a faint hope on their faces. "I heard that this batch of seeds can be eaten in two months. I wonder if it's true."

"What Master Wu said must be true!"

"Lord Wu will never harm us."

County Magistrate Wu is still very popular here! So many people are willing to trust him, and Sheng Changan is not unhappy about it. After all, trusting County Magistrate Wu is the same as trusting her, which is almost the same.

After a long pause, someone said, "I heard the seeds were brought here by the new county magistrate."

"The county magistrate seems to be a good choice this time." At least their lives are getting better little by little.

However, Sheng Changan didn't hear these words. She had already made her way to the most crowded area. It was indeed Lin Chuan, but was this a school? Why was it still made of stone and grass? "Lin Chuan, why isn't the school made of wood?"

Lin Chuan was a little surprised. "Sir, why are you here?" Thinking of what she asked, he replied, "There is no carpentry here. This is the only kind of carpentry we know."

"With so many people, no one understands this?" Sheng Changan was really surprised.

Wang Yi also came over and said, "Sir, those with some skills have all gone to other places. Why would they stay here? Everyone knows how poor our Guangping County is."

I understand. So those who had some skills and could run away all ran away, and only those who knew nothing were forced to stay.

Sheng Changan sighed with a headache. That was all he could do for now. He still had to find a way to find some people. "Where's Li Dashan?"

"Sir, I'll take you there." Wang Yi jumped out immediately. He was bored!

Sheng Changan looked at him and agreed. As they walked, he asked, "Which county is next to us? Is there a large population there?"

"Shangyu is only slightly better than us, probably around 4,000 people."

"Have you ever thought about leaving here?"

"Sir, I don't have that kind of money. Even finding a good place requires connections. It's not allowed for civilians to move without permission. If they're discovered, it's over."

"Is there no place that will take in the homeless?"

"No, why would anyone take in a homeless person, unless they wanted to eat human flesh."

Seeing Wang Yi acting as if he was used to eating human flesh, Sheng Changan felt a stupor in his heart. It was so ridiculous.

Seeing Sheng Changan's expression was a little strange, Wang Yi quickly waved his hand and said nervously, "Sir, I didn't eat human flesh. County Magistrate Wu said that I can't eat it."

"I'm not talking about you. I know the people here don't eat." Otherwise, she might not be able to stay here. In a place where people are eaten, she doesn't have the patience to find a way to make them full. "I always hear you talk about County Magistrate Wu. County Magistrate Wu should be a good official!"

Speaking of this, Wang Yi became excited. "Of course, if it weren't for County Magistrate Wu, I would be dead. It's not just me, many people are like this. But you are also a good official."

"Then how did the previous county magistrate die?" Sheng Changan suddenly changed the subject.

Wang Yi was startled and didn't know why he brought up this topic. He stammered, "I, I don't know."

Sure enough, there was a problem. The Xianbei couldn't declare war on the imperial court directly, so they naturally wouldn't kill the county magistrate, but intimidation was indeed possible. "I know everything. He was killed by County Magistrate Wu, right?"

"No," Wang Yi immediately raised his voice, scratched his hair, and said angrily, "He wanted to eat Xiaodouzi and steal someone else's wife. We had no other choice, so we resisted."

"Is Xiaodouzi your adopted child?"

"Yes," Wang Yi responded quickly.

"Robbing someone else's wife, you mean the wife of County Magistrate Wu?" After all, Li Hui was indeed good-looking, and even though she was already a wife, she still had charm.

This time Wang Yi was silent again. "I, I don't know."

"I didn't say you did anything wrong. This kind of person deserves to die. Besides, if he hadn't died, I wouldn't have come here to meet you. And I know almost everything." Sheng Changan put on an unfathomable look. Although she had guessed a little, she also needed to confirm it.

Wang Yi squatted down with a bitter and resentful look on his face. "Since the last county magistrate came here, we haven't had a good life at all. He also has connections with the Xianbei. He offered up our beautiful girls to save his life. We had no choice but to unite and kill them."

"them?"

"Yes! He brought several people with him!" He then looked at Sheng Changan with a strange look and said, "You are the first one who came here without any men."

Of course she had no subordinates. The original owner had signed up for the imperial examination because she was unhappy, but who knew she would be assigned here? "So who were the people involved in killing the county magistrate?"

Wang Yi jumped up and puffed out his chest. "Lin Chuan, Li Dashan, Wu Xiancheng, and I saw it together. Anyway, we are not wrong."

Sheng Changan felt helpless as he looked at his forced calmness and said, "Didn't I say you were not wrong? If it were me, I would do the same." Such an unkind official deserves to die.

Looking at Sheng Changan's departing back, Wang Yi immediately chased after him, "Sir, sir, do you really think so?"

"Yes!" Sheng Changan said with a half-smile, "Maybe one day you will do something to me too!"

"No, my Lord is a good official and a good person." She is also a weird person, always saying things he can't understand, and there are food that suddenly appear, but she is a good official. "I swear, if I do something to let my Lord down, let me be eaten."

Sheng Changan looked at Wang Yi's serious expression, her heart warmed, and she whispered, "I understand." Although it was difficult, she would definitely keep these people alive.

Finally, they arrived at the place where Li Dashan was training soldiers. Sheng Changan breathed a sigh of relief. He still needed to exercise this body. After walking for half an hour, he felt like his legs were about to break.

"Sir" Li Dashan did not notice Wang Yi's guilty look, and he was full of high spirits.

"I'll take a look, you guys just go ahead."

"Yes"

Looking at Li Dashan's training method, Sheng Changan's eyes deepened. Although she said that they would be trained as soldiers, she didn't tell Li Dashan how to train them, and he didn't ask. This training method now looked like something from a military camp.

Li Dashan was completely unaware of Sheng Changan's gaze. He had waited for so many years to see hope. He just wished he could live here and train every day.
