A Husband Who Traveled Through the Famine and Developed a Chronicle

It looks like he is reading a book, but in fact his mind is not on the book.

In this way, the carriage swayed and carried him to the foot of Liu Yunzhai Mountain.

The road up the mountain is wide but not very flat.

After all, it is a mountain road, and it is quite difficult to pave it with stone slabs. If it is made smoother, it will not be done in a year.

Magistrate Wang had no choice but to get off the carriage and ride up the mountain.

He was not well dressed, but he was unique among the people.

Liu Yunzhai is considered a trading center, with many merchants coming and going. The previously desolate mountain road has turned into a thoroughfare, with many merchants coming and going, making it very lively.

Listening to their chat, Magistrate Wang gained some understanding of Liu Yunzhai.

The number of people watching this road was actually not much less than that of Wei County.

But Wei County is a county town, and Liu Yunzhai is just a rural barbarian place.

When he arrived at Liu Yunzhai, Magistrate Wang dismounted and queued up obediently with the merchants entering the village. From time to time, he chatted with the merchants next to him. Seeing him dressed like a scholar, the other party couldn't help but feel a little respect in his heart.

He has an ordinary face, not particularly good-looking.

Butler He had prepared the road guide before coming, using his identity as the county magistrate.

Logically speaking, he is the county magistrate of Wei County. Although Liu Yunzhai is far away, it is within the jurisdiction of Wei County. The head of a county should not have to be led by others when he goes to his own jurisdiction. He is still alone and not by Directions issued by the government office.

However, form is stronger than people, it has become a climate here, and he, a newly arrived county magistrate, seems to be unable to do anything except follow the locals.

Li Xiuyuan did not prevent Magistrate Wang from entering the village. What these people could see could also be seen by the new magistrate.

Therefore, Magistrate Wang did not encounter any obstacles when he entered the stronghold.

But when he arrived at Li Mansion, he was rejected.

"The young master is not here. Mr. Wang, please come again next time."

Shuanzi's father is already the steward of the outer courtyard. He has undergone some rigorous training in the past year and looks different from before.

Even when meeting the newly appointed county magistrate, he was able to keep people away without any panic.

The door closed in front of him, and not far away was the barter shop. Yu Dahai was sitting in the barter shop, looking at Magistrate Wang outside the gate of Li Mansion.

There were many people in the village, including old people who were originally refugees. However, Magistrate Wang changed drastically. Many people recognized him, but did not say hello to him.

Everyone has different identities.

Magistrate Wang was not upset when he didn't see Li Xiuyuan and started wandering around the village.

I was surprised to find that it was really lively here, even more lively than down the mountain.

Except inside the stockade, he couldn't go anywhere else because it was guarded by soldiers.

Wearing the armor carefully prepared by King Liang for his own bodyguards, they walked through the city ostentatiously, seemingly not afraid of being seen at all.

After all, it was a long way, so Magistrate Wang didn't stay long before taking the people down the mountain.

At night, five or six men in black appeared outside Liu Yun Village.

They are as light as swallows, like ghosts in the dark night, avoiding the guards in the village and sneaking into Liu Yun Village.

"Let them in?"

Yu Dahai was sitting in the barter shop. In front of him was the leader of the soldiers who stayed in Liu Yunzhai. He nodded after hearing this.

Today's Liu Yunzhai is no better than before. It is heavily guarded. If no one releases the water, no one can sneak in.

"Keep an eye on them and see what their purpose is"

The other party nodded, and really only sent people to keep an eye on them, allowing these people to sneak into the village.

Their purpose was clear. After entering the village, they headed towards the location of Li Mansion.

Sneaking into Li Mansion, he looked for Li Xiuyuan inside.

I just searched the house and couldn't find it.

The leading man in black frowned.

"Catch someone and torture him"

After hearing this, several other men in black set their sights on Father Shuanzi.

He is the steward of the outer courtyard. If you want to ask for news about Li Xiuyuan, he has to be the one.

But as soon as they stepped into the outer courtyard and before they could take action, countless sharp arrows were shot out. "There's an ambush, let's go"

The expressions of the men in black darkened. They were highly skilled in martial arts and they didn't care about ordinary bows and arrows. It was just that there were too many ants to kill the elephants. If they were really surrounded, it would not do them any good.

Their purpose was to find out the whereabouts of Li Xiuyuan. If they couldn't find him, they naturally didn't want to make a sacrifice in vain, so they immediately wanted to escape.

It's just easy to get in, but hard to get out.

How could Yu Dahai and the others let them go so easily.

The archers had already laid an ambush, and within a short while, the men in black were all captured.

No matter how high their martial arts skills were, they couldn't help but fight in groups. They even wanted to commit suicide, but were stopped by Yu Dahai, who was well prepared.

"Lock the person up and interrogate him properly"

There are dungeons in Liuyun Village, many of which were rebuilt from previous cellars, and many people were imprisoned in them.

There are spies from other places, and spies from remnants of the previous dynasty.

Several men in black arrived there, and the custodian asked them everything they knew.

After waiting all night, no one came back.

Butler He's always smiling face turned gloomy.

"Good morning, housekeeper"

Li San'er led people on patrol. The prejudice in the early morning made Butler He stand under the eaves. His clothes were slightly wet. He thought he had been standing there for a long time.

Thinking of the news coming from the village, he curled his lips slightly and said hello to Butler He in a good mood.

"It's early for Mr. Li"

Butler He returned to his usual smile and greeted Li Saner cheerfully.

After he left with the people, his expression darkened again.

On the evening of the second day, several more men in black came to Liu Yunzhai.

However, their fate was no different from the previous ones. They all fell into the prison of Liu Yunzhai.

The same was true on the night of the third day.

So far, more than a dozen men in black who came here to inquire about information have been imprisoned.

Butler He's face became increasingly gloomy.

He knocked on Magistrate Wang's door. Magistrate Wang was dealing with official duties, which were all trivial matters. The autumn harvest had just passed, and the county taxes had already been collected. If they collected it again, let alone the people, Li San The government servants don't do it either.

The euphemistic claim is that the tax has already been collected. If it were collected again, wouldn't it mean that the people would be forced to death?

When asked again where the tax money and food collected were, Li Saner would innocently say that they had already provided disaster relief.

If they really want to blame, opening official treasury privately and using official food for private use can also punish them for a serious crime. However, the person above is taking the route of loving the people like his own son and wants to win the hearts of the people, so it is difficult to blame them again.

We can only hope for next autumn's harvest to collect taxes into the treasury.

The wise woman of County Magistrate Wang cannot make a meal without rice.

It is difficult to develop a county school without monetary support.

"grown ups"

Butler He bowed, and Magistrate Wang looked up at him.

"Why don't you invite me to go to Liuyun Village again?"

Hearing this, Magistrate Wang frowned and put down what he was holding.

"The people you sent out didn't find out the news?"

When this matter was mentioned, Butler He's expression darkened again.

A dozen or so good players were all carefully trained, but now they are like a mud cow drowning in the sea, without any movement at all.

Seeing him shaking his head, Magistrate Wang showed a real expression.

When he first met the child, he knew that he was not simple.

The face of a girl with a sallow complexion flashed through his mind, not to mention that one!
