Chapter 130 The Prefect Forced the People to Harvest
A few dog legs rushed to the field immediately, picked up the farm tools and rummaged for a while, but couldn't find the sickle for harvesting, so they used hoes and other farm tools and waved them indiscriminately in the field.

Where are they harvesting food, they are simply destroying wantonly!

"My lord, you can't dig! Our family, young and old, are all counting on the crops in the field to eat! You can't dig!"

A white-haired old man looked distressed and couldn't help going forward to snatch the farm tools from the dogs.

The dog-legged man's face trembled, he pushed his hands, and hit the old man with the wooden handle of the farm tool in turn: "Go away! Do you dare to stop the prefect's order? Can't you die? I will grant you!"

"Bang! Bang!"

One hit, one hit on the meat, the farmers looked at it with hatred in their hearts, but they dared not speak out.

There are more than a dozen people around the magistrate, all holding steel knives, if they talk too much, their lives may be in danger!

As for the prefect himself, he watched coldly from the side, as if beating someone by his subordinates was a perfectly normal thing.

The farmers couldn't help but compare him with Qin Feng, the county magistrate, in their hearts, and they decided to judge!

This magistrate is simply a dog official. Although he is a big official, he is not even worthy of carrying shoes compared to them.

"Xiaofeng..." Behind the kneeling farmers, a man said to the children beside him: "You are small, you stooped down and ran back from the crops to avoid your figure, and find Mr. Qin, hurry up! Otherwise, Huang Grandpa will be beaten to death!"

"Ah."

Xiaofeng is only seven or eight years old, but he is already very sensible. When he heard the order, he immediately ducked into the crop field, and the magistrate and his subordinates didn't find anyone.

County Yamen.

Qin Feng was taking a break while he was busy.

A sudden knock on the door woke him up.

"What's the matter!" Qin Feng got up, stretched himself, and asked loudly.

"My lord, the magistrate is here! I'm in the field now, and I sent two of my men to report, and I want to invite you to go..."

"Prefect?"

Qin Feng frowned, what is he doing here?
Before I could figure it out, the door rang again, and this time it was a childish voice: "Master, Master, it's not good, Grandpa Huang is about to be beaten to death by a high-ranking official from outside, hurry up!" Go and see..."

This Xiaofeng is not very old, and he got in through the dog hole in the backyard of the yamen.

When Qin Feng heard it, the high official who came from outside was naturally the magistrate. He was beating someone?Why?
As the parent official of Ninghai County, Qin Feng thought he was responsible for the people in the county, so he opened the door and asked, "Do you know why the high official beat people?"

"The senior official asked to cut the crops, but Grandpa Huang refused, so the senior official will be an adult. Go, sir, my father said, if you don't go, Grandpa Huang will be beaten to death!"

Although Xiaofeng is small, the expression on his face is very serious.

Qin Feng suddenly understood that it turned out that it was for an early harvest.

He immediately called the yamen servant who knocked on the door: "You, send a message to Wang Long, tell him to bring all the yamen servants here, and I will go first. You must hurry up! Take this child to the carpenter first, and ask them to take care of it." Go!"

"It's my lord, don't worry, my lord!"

After making arrangements, Qin Feng rushed to the field immediately.

When he came over, the lord's official messengers had already stopped, and the old man Huang had been beaten to the brink of death.

Qin Feng didn't have time to say hello to the magistrate, he went up to check the old man Huang, and said to several farmers around him: "Hurry up, send it to the hospital, and you can still be saved."

"Yes……"

Several farmers were in a hurry, and as soon as they pulled people up, the prefect spoke.

"Bold! Who told you to take him away? This person defied the imperial court's orders. Who dares to take him away before I'm released?"

Several farmers had to stop again.

Qin Feng sighed, turned his head with a frown, and bowed to the magistrate: "Master Zhifu, I didn't know that the magistrate came, so please forgive me. This old man's life is hanging by a thread, and he is in urgent need of treatment. Let them hurry up." Take some away."

"You guys, take people away quickly."

After Qin Feng finished speaking with the magistrate, before he agreed, he urged the people around him to speak.

The few farmers didn't hesitate anymore, and they picked up the old man Huang and left.

The magistrate's yamen officer who beat Huang old man just now saw that the magistrate dared to leave without saying a word, shouted "bold", and raised his stick to chase and beat the farmers.

Unexpectedly, after taking two steps, Qin Feng stretched his leg and tripped, causing him to fall and eat shit.

The official wanted to get up, but Qin Feng took the opportunity to step on his calf again.

How strong is Qin Feng?

The power of a cow!
This kick kicked the officer until his calf was almost broken, he became crippled for a while, and had no strength to continue chasing.

"Oh, I didn't see it, are you okay? Come on, come on, get up."

Only then did Qin Feng bow his head and make a gesture to help the official to stand up.

He pretended not to pay attention to these actions, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that he did it on purpose, and the magistrate would naturally be able to see it.

The magistrate was furious: "Qin Feng! How dare you disobey my order? Who told you to let him go?"

Qin Feng chuckled, and threw the half-supported official back to the ground, causing him to be hurt for the third time.

As for Qin Feng himself, he raised his chest and said to the magistrate: "My lord, no matter how wrong the old man Huang is, he can't be guilty of death, right? Let's heal him first and then take it easy."

"Presumptuous! How dare you, a mere county magistrate, deny this government's decision?"

The magistrate looked at Qin Feng and gritted his teeth: "Hmph! Qin Feng, you can't protect yourself, and you still want to protect others? It's ridiculous! The government asks you, are you guilty?"

"What is the crime of the lower official?"

"Stop pretending!"

The magistrate yelled: "At the moment of the locust plague, celebrities in this prefecture sent messages from all states to ask farmers to harvest crops in advance. People in all counties obeyed the order. Only you, Qin Feng, disobeyed the order!"

"This is a suggestion given by the court. How dare you, Qin Feng, not follow? Isn't this a crime?"

The magistrate is indeed a magistrate, standing tall, full of confidence, and giving people a deterrent effect when speaking.

It's a pity that Qin Feng is not afraid.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Qin Feng laughed a few times, and asked back: "Dare to ask the magistrate, what is the purpose of this decree?"

"This is an order from the imperial court. The order issued by the imperial court is naturally to ensure the people's food production, so as to avoid the locusts from causing a disaster year."

The prefect replied.

Qin Feng sneered and pointed to the surrounding farmland.

"Master Zhifu, please see that I, the people of Ninghai County, have been trying my best to control the locusts these days. The locusts have not caused much damage to the crops in Ninghai County. It is estimated that by the time of harvest, the loss will be no more than [-]%. Moreover, the grain output will be far away. Much higher than previous years!"

"In such a situation, we still need to harvest in advance? Wouldn't that be a waste of money?"
