Royal Gold Magistrate

Lao Qi, in his 40s, has dark skin and looks like an old farmer.

Look unsmiling.

Hearing Fangzheng's words, Lao Qi seemed a little helpless: "Master, the houses in the county are still waiting for me to build them. I'm afraid that the people below will not be able to do it right after I leave."

Fangzheng didn't care at all: "No problem!"

"It's time for you to let go! You have to do everything yourself, what a big deal you can achieve!"

"Old Qi! You must have ideals in life. What's the use of building an ordinary house with [-] rooms? No one will remember who you are."

"Let's build a spectacle! Do it well and don't think about anything else!"

Lao Qi didn't speak, which meant he acquiesced.

Thinking about the county government building and Taoyuan Theater I built, I feel a little uncomfortable.

The master just likes this kind of fancy things... that is to say, there are few outsiders in Taoyuan County, so many people are laughing at the strange appearance of the two houses he built.

The wind review was killed!

I don't know what to do when I go to Jianjiang, I hope there are no people there.

Seeing that everyone had no objections, Fang Zheng waved his hand!

"set off!"

................

Jianjiang, on a boat on Chenghu Lake.

Xie Xian carried a bowl of soup and medicine, and walked cautiously into a room.

Seeing the patient on the bed, he said, "Erlang, get up and drink the medicine!"

Zhou Tie's complexion was pale and his lips were chapped. Seeing that it was Xie Xian who had come, he forced a smile on his face: "Cough...cough...I'm sorry to trouble you...Old Xie."

Xie Xian was full of helplessness: "You said that you can come on horseback, but in two days, you can still fall into the water in a boat?"

Zhou Tie looked embarrassed: "You don't know, I heard that Zhang Biao is seasick... Hehehe, I want to take the boat, cough... cough!"

Xie Xian looked at Zhou Tie like a fool.

After a bowl of soup and medicine was eaten, Xie Xian took the soup bowl and said in a low voice, "Old Zhou, it's just the two of us here. Tell me, did you buy your martial arts champion? How much?"

Zhou Tie's eyes widened, and he stretched out a hand with difficulty, pointing at him tremblingly.

"You...you...I treat you as a friend, do you doubt me?"

Xie Xian was a little embarrassed: "That can't be! Don't worry too much, I also regret that I didn't go to Beijing for the exam. If you have nothing to do, you should rest first."

After speaking, he took the soup bowl and was about to go out.

Zhou Tie quickly stopped him: "Old Xie...I know you look down on me..."

"Let me tell you a secret...cough..., I created a set of sword techniques when I was drunk on the boat. I call it the mad wolf sword technique! Three strokes...only three strokes, if Zhang Biao meets me, discipline His head fell!"

"Don't tell anyone, cough! This is my trump card. When I return to the county, I will be ashamed! Hehe!"

As he said that, Zhou Tie looked at the ceiling, his eyes were full of fantasy, and he couldn't help laughing idiotically.

Seeing his virtue, Xie Xian immediately turned around and left.

Just arrived at the door and ran into Lian Gui who was about to enter the house.

Seeing that Xie Xian was holding a soup bowl, Lian Gui asked, "Did you finish the medicine? How is he now? Brothers are waiting for you when they are all here."

"He is very good! Tell me he has created a set of sword techniques, three strokes let Zhang Biao's head fall to the ground!"

"Hahahahaha"

"Hahahahahahahahahaha"

Zhou Tie's face turned rosy when he heard the rampant ridicule outside the door.

He slammed the bedside hard and shouted angrily.

"Grass!!"

Xie Xian and Lian Gui covered their mouths and slipped out when they heard the roar in the house.

In the lobby, there is only a huge long table left in the renovated painting boat.

Dozens of chairs were placed around.

On weekdays, everyone gathers to discuss and eat at this table.

The front seat was always vacant, apparently reserved for Fang Zhengyi.

After Xie Xian scanned the audience, he walked straight to his seat when everyone was there.

As soon as he was seated, he said, "It's rare that there are so many people today."

"It's estimated that we won't get together a few times on the boat again. Let's just vote for him and leave. Let's talk about the recent progress."

Shen Zhaoxuan smiled triumphantly: "What progress can be made! Steal food? How much can you steal? Give me a little more time and I will be able to unify all the sects in Jianjiang!"

"A branch called Water God Sect was just wiped out this morning."

"If you want me to say that you can all stop, it's not a waste of time."

"Listen to me, stay for one more month! At that time, I can grab as much food as you want!"

"Let's leave after one vote!"

After Shen Zhaoxuan finished speaking, the atmosphere suddenly fell silent.

Xie Xian glanced at Shen Zhaoxuan, and said slowly: "Master won't let us act rashly, you made such a big noise, are you courting death?"

Lian Gui opened his mouth wide and shouted: "Old Shen is awesome now! Look down on us, and the more than 5000 people under him don't walk sideways? It seems that the master is not used to it when he comes!"

All eyes focused on Shen Zhaoxuan.

Shen Zhaoxuan swallowed, and said in a panic, "Don't talk nonsense!"

"I just went back so disheartened, am I afraid that I won't be able to explain it?"

"Besides, it's beyond my control to engage so many people! I've told you already."

Xie Xian's voice sounded again: "Originally, the master asked us to go back. Everyone was afraid of losing face and voted before leaving. If you do this, it will be difficult to end in the end."

"Also, you haven't asked me for money for such a long time."

"Five thousand people and five thousand mouths, where does your money come from?"

Shen Zhaoxuan was silent for a while: "Yes, everyone stays here because they are afraid of going back and losing face."

"I now have 5000 people who can use it. It is much more convenient to do anything. Many people from the government have come to me."

"So, you don't have to worry about money and food."

Xie Xian frowned: "They saw you? Are you not afraid of being used?"

Shen Zhaoxuan spread his hands and said relaxedly, "Of course I'm afraid, but I have no reason to be arrested."

"I wear a mask all the time outside, no one knows what I look like."

"The slogan of our free education is to love the country and love the family! Dedicate yourself to work! When did you do something illegal?"

"Who doesn't like religious believers to be recognized by people on the street?"

"The few small sects I overthrew outside are the real cults, burning, killing, and looting are all evil."

"So, old Xie, just relax, it's not a big problem."

"Tonight, the prefect of Jianjiang invited me to a big banquet!"

Lian Gui said in a loud voice: "Fuck you! Are you safe wearing a mask? I'll hold you there, and the brothers will accompany you to jail?"

"You fart! Why should they lock me up?"

"Who the hell is an official to reason with you, don't you know what the master is like?"

"Fuck, I want to tell the master..."

Xie Xian was agitated for a while: "Okay! Don't quarrel! Old Shen, don't go... I feel that there is something wrong, so find an excuse to push it away."

"There are also your 5000 people, if you can leave, hurry up, I don't care what method you use, let's get out and leave!"

Shen Zhaoxuan showed dissatisfaction on his face: "Could it be that he went back in such a disgruntled manner? Master, you know that he is not afraid that we will cause trouble, but he is afraid that it will not happen!"

"I've lost my face when I go back! It's okay to want to dismiss the people, but suddenly they dismissed like this. The church members below can't restrain them. I need time!"

"Otherwise, it will be over if we say it is over. Someone must take the lead to start it again. I will not be able to control what I will teach at that time."

"If you really want to create a group of mobs, the cultists will be really troublesome!"

"How long will it take you?"

"At least one month, I have to clear out those dishonest people below one by one."

Xie Xian kept knocking on the table with his index finger, thinking for a long time: "Okay, just one month! As soon as possible."

Shen Zhaoxuan nodded in agreement.

"Anyone else?"

Wei Cai stood up and said, "It will take some time for me, the tunnel is only half dug. Recently, more and more people have come to guard the granary of the Sun family and the Wang family."

"Our people can't move too much, so the time is delayed."

"I don't know why... Are the granaries of the big dog households strict?"

Bai Rui on the side said, "There must be some secret."

"Recently, the porridge in the disaster relief shed outside the city has become thinner and thinner. Didn't you notice it?"

"Last night, I went to visit the official granary. The granary is still full, but..."

Said, Bai Rui took out a small cloth bag from his arms, and poured the cloth bag on the table.

Grains of rice are scattered on the table, but in different colors.

"Let's see, at least half of the rice in the official warehouse is moldy rice! The remaining half is old rice."

"Why is the porridge getting thinner and thinner? Do you still need to think about it? The official warehouse is out of food!"

"The Sun family and the Wang family are selling grain privately. It's not bad if you can buy a catty of grain that used to cost four taels and one shi! It's worth the money!"

Xie Xian sighed: "Moldy rice should not appear in the official warehouse, that means there is only one possibility."

"In private, there is collusion between government and businessmen, and some people exchange moldy rice for new rice."

"It seems that the big dog we are looking for is really right!"

Shen Zhaoxuan chuckled: "So...then we don't have to be polite, I'll take the people below and snatch them all under the cover of night!"

"How much more can they keep guarding the granary?"

Xie Xian vetoed it: "No! It's beyond our control now."

"Dig the tunnel as soon as possible, prepare more sandbags during this period, and wait for more than ten days to exchange as much grain as you can."

"Then let's go back to the county!"
