After picking up a lucky girl, all the beasts line up to come to your door

This token was given to Zheng Xingguang by the emperor to make it easier for him to do things on the road.

The emperor instructed that this token would usually be managed by Sang Ye, and he could also use it.

The constable took a closer look at the token, but his face changed drastically and he knelt on the ground in panic.

"Your Highness, long live the Emperor!"

It’s over. How could this person have a token that signifies the emperor’s personal visit?

The others all knelt on the ground and shouted in unison, "Long live the emperor!"

The few people following the carriage felt their calves tremble and fell to the ground with a thud. They no longer dared to follow the carriage.

Sang Ye put away the token, his face not looking good, "Why don't you open the city gate quickly?"

The constable trembled and said, "In reply to your Excellency, it is not us who must close the city gates."

"These villagers are really too much. They are short of water in their village, so they come to the town to rob, rape and plunder."

"Plus, the town was short of water and food, so the county magistrate had no choice but to order the city gates closed."

Some villagers protested angrily.

"You're talking nonsense! We didn't do anything like that. We just wanted some water and food to survive."

"It's obvious that the county magistrate didn't care about our lives and insisted on closing the city gates. Stop talking nonsense here."

The constable asked, "Can you guarantee that none of you have such thoughts?"

"Those villagers who were released earlier also said they wouldn't do anything they shouldn't do in town, but some of them robbed several shops when they got there."

"Alright!" Sang Ye said in a slightly serious tone, "I'm not here to listen to you guys talking nonsense. Let us in first."

"Open the little door."

The constable quickly had the small gate opened and personally escorted the carriages into the town.

Afterwards, he arranged for someone to quickly return to the county government office to find the county magistrate, saying that this was an important figure who had arrived.

After entering the town, Mu Baobao and his group went straight to the best inn.

Mu Baobao was leaning against the window, looking out. Suddenly, she exclaimed, "Look, there are not many people on the street, and many shops are closed."

Sang Ye and others looked out of the carriage window and saw that there were almost no people on the street, and even most of the shops were closed.

"We've been to several towns, and this is the first one that looks like this. Nothing big is going to happen in this town, right?"

"It looks like something big happened, otherwise a town wouldn't be like this."

"Should we go to the county government office first?"

Sang Ye made a decision, "No need, let's wait and see what the county magistrate here does."

"If I'm not mistaken, the constable has already sent someone to notify the county magistrate. All we have to do now is wait."

No one else has an opinion.

Mubaobao lowered the curtain and looked disinterested, "Nothing here is fun."

"There were so many people in the last town, but I can't see anyone here."

Sang Ye comforted him, "Baby, the next town will be fun."

Mu Baobao didn't get angry.

She held her chin with both hands and sighed like a little adult, "I can only wait until the next town."

Her appearance made Sang Ye and the others laugh.

When the carriage arrived at the best inn in town, the county magistrate had already arrived in a hurry with his men.

"Please wait a moment." County Magistrate Yu Bai shouted anxiously despite being sweating profusely.

Sang Ye, as a representative, got off the carriage.

He nodded calmly at Yu Bai and said, "Hello, County Magistrate. I am Sang Ye, a disciple of the Rongdu Sang family. Prince Zheng is sitting in the carriage."

Yu Bai almost lost his breath when he heard this.

He held on to his master's hand and stood firm.

"Prince Zheng."

He bowed to the carriage, "Your humble servant Yu Bai."

He never imagined that the person sitting in the carriage was the emperor's most beloved Prince Zheng.

Should we say he is lucky or unlucky?

Zheng Xingguang then got off the carriage, followed by Mu Baobao and others.

Mu Baobao looked at Yu Bai a few more times. This man looked like Maitreya Buddha, and was chubby and cute.

Zheng Xingguang obviously didn't want to pay any attention to Yu Bai. He and Mu Baobao and others went straight into the inn.

The innkeeper and the waiters received Zheng Xingguang and his party with trepidation, fearing that they might not do something well enough and anger the distinguished guest.

"County Magistrate Yu." Sang Ye smiled faintly at Yu Bai. "It's not easy to talk standing here. Why don't we go sit down in the inn and talk?"

Yu Bai didn't dare to disagree, "Yes, yes!"

He looked pale. With the help of his master, he and others followed Sang Ye into the inn.

Zheng Xingguang and his group had already returned to their rooms to rest, leaving only Mu Baobao in the lobby waiting to watch the fun.

"Big brother." Mu Baobao walked forward and took Sang Ye's hand, glancing at Yu Bai from time to time.

Sang Ye noticed her little movement and took her to the bench to sit down.

"County Magistrate Yu, please sit down." He made a gesture of invitation.

Baby Mu was lying on the table, dangling his short legs.

The shopkeeper served the best herbal tea in the inn with trembling hands.

After thanking him, Mu Baobao took a sip.

"No, no, I'll just stand." Yu Bai didn't dare to sit down at all.

Sang Ye didn't force it, holding the teacup but not drinking. "I wonder what County Magistrate Yu is here for?"

"If you want to visit Prince Zheng, there is no need for that. Prince Zheng doesn't like these things."

Yu Bai was covered in cold sweat.

At this moment, he could not feel any heat, but only coldness.

"Master Sang, I'm here to discuss closing the city gates." His voice was shaking so much that he could barely speak clearly.

Sang Ye raised an eyebrow and said, "I heard the constable explain the reason."

"Besides, this matter is not under my or Prince Zheng's jurisdiction, so County Magistrate Yu does not need to tell me about it."

Yu Bai took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down, "Master Sang, I really have no other choice."

He made a bitter face and sighed, "Originally, the water resources in this town and the surrounding villages are not very abundant, but they are usually sufficient."

"Once there's a water shortage, the town and surrounding villages will be without water, and sometimes it will even affect crops."

Sang Ye listened quietly without saying a word.

"Didn't you find any water?" Mu Baobao asked curiously.

Yu Bai smiled bitterly, "Why didn't you find water?"

"When the town was short of water, I searched everywhere for water and even hired someone to drill a well, but I couldn't find any."

"There are very few places where we can get water here, and it hasn't rained for a long time, so everything is dry and there's no water to be gotten."

Mu Baobao said, "You can't close the town, how are the villagers going to buy food and drink?"

Yu Bai said, "It has to be closed."

"At the beginning, I didn't close the city gates. I also arranged for several shops to sell rice and flour to people in the surrounding villages. I also allowed people from the surrounding villages to fetch water in the town."

"However, some villagers are not satisfied and are vicious. They have committed murder and arson in the town and have looted a lot of things."

"I captured a batch, and there were more. I had no choice but to close the city gates."
