The former Tang County leader's face turned pale and his chest heaved violently, as if he was being strangled by an invisible force.

This group of heartless people actually complained to the new county leader right in front of me.

Without saying a word, they were slapped again, hard on the face!

He clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms, but he couldn't help but shout, "Enough! What a mess! The county magistrate doesn't have time to listen to your nonsense!"

The whole scene was silent, with only a light breeze blowing, bringing a hint of coolness. Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, it was over...

I was so excited that I forgot he was still here!

What to do now?

Their hearts were filled with doubts and anxieties.

The former county magistrate was really furious. He was still standing here, why did this group of people start to step on him to curry favor with him?

These people are simply outrageous!

His eyes were glaring and he pointed his fingers at the runners kneeling on the ground one by one, "You...you!" He was so angry that he seemed to be shaking.

"Who are you? How dare you give orders here?" The new county magistrate slammed the table, and his voice was even louder than the previous one!

He immediately overwhelmed his opponent in terms of momentum!

The yamen runners were telling their various experiences, and he was listening attentively! How come a troublemaker suddenly appeared?

He just arrived here and needs all kinds of information!

The atmosphere was like this, with everyone expressing their opinions without reservation, so how could someone suddenly jump out and disrupt the situation?

I didn't notice him because there were so many people around just now, but now that I look carefully, it turns out to be him!

He pressed his beard subconsciously, but anger remained on his face!

"Your Excellency the County Magistrate, I am your predecessor and the County Magistrate here, I..." Just as he was about to give his name, he was suddenly interrupted by the other party!

"Since you know you are the predecessor, why are you still standing here? This is not the place for you! Someone, send the former county magistrate to rest."

"You! How can you be so rude! Not to mention that you and I are of the same level, you have no right to drive me out. You just came here, and the handover has not yet been completed. At this time, you are not the county magistrate here! What right do you have to drive me out?"

This guy just came and wanted to suppress me! It's too much!

In that case, don't blame yourself for making things difficult for him!

"Just based on this. Do you recognize it? I have also heard about your story. I heard that it has become known to everyone in Tang County. At this point, there is no need for you to put on a show of being a master in front of me, otherwise you really don't know your place!"

He held aloft a roll of paper wrapped in a red ribbon.

Seeing this, the former Tang County chief had no choice but to kneel down and bow his head.

Appointment order!

This person actually used the appointment order to pressure others! How despicable!

"Why don't you take him away!" Seeing that he had given in, there was no need to continue pestering him.

Immediately, two yamen runners volunteered to take the former Tang County magistrate out.

The new county magistrate sat on the chair, stretched his neck, and shouted to his predecessor's back: "Now that I'm here, you don't have to be afraid of him! I will make the decision for you! Keep talking!"

Everyone seemed to have found their backbone again, and voices of complaint were heard again in the lobby. They told everyone how they were beaten, how the Queen Mother made a fuss, and how much monthly interest the former Tang County Magistrate owed them!

But as the person above was listening to this, why did his face turn so ugly?

Queen Mother...

When the person in the main seat heard how the Queen Mother twisted a person's arm and broke a person's leg bones, his body moved uncontrollably.

The influence of this name on him was too great. His mind uncontrollably recalled past experiences.

The people below looked at each other and the noise became smaller and smaller. He came to his senses and pressed his face a few times, then pressed his temples.

"This Queen Mother is really abominable! She caused such harm, yet she is still at large! I am here today, and since you have told me everything, I will definitely take care of you!"

Compared with the high-and-mighty former county magistrate, the newly appointed county magistrate seemed more down-to-earth and closer to them.

The yamen runners who were still here looked a little excited, and they couldn't say what they were feeling at the moment.

Is it...surviving a disaster?

When they failed to rob the silver and send it back home, their families complained about it for a long time.

But later, as the escaped yamen runners were sent back and the silver was gradually returned, many relatives' shops were also affected, and their families no longer mentioned the matter.

Although many ridiculous things happened later and they were injured one after another, they still stayed here because they really didn't want to lose their jobs.

Now the masters of this yamen have been replaced. If they can really stay here, it will be a pleasant surprise!

It stands to reason that a new officer would naturally dislike the soldiers of his predecessor.

No matter who it is, they will feel at ease using it because they have their own people. Even if they don't bring anyone with them, there will be many people who will take the opportunity to give money to the master and let their own children come in and get a job.

Which master wouldn't do this to train his subordinates and reap a wave of gold and silver?

But facing this group of wounded and useless defeated soldiers, the new master did not drive them away! He even said that he would take care of them, which touched everyone!

This new master is a very good man!

"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!" The uneasiness of many days was like a reassurance at this moment.

The confusion, grievance, pain, and gratitude at this moment, all turned into tears and snot, covering the ground.

"Ahem, everyone, get up. You are all so badly injured. Leave a few of you to help me clean up a room and stay there. The rest of you can go back and rest today."

He was not in a hurry to handle the handover, so he might as well let the former county magistrate hang out for a few days!

Since receiving the gift from Pingdingshan, County Magistrate Tang has started traveling around and using his connections to send gifts.

Before, he had neither the financial resources nor the opportunity. But now it is the end of the year and gift-giving exchanges are common in various places. It would not be out of place for him to give gifts at this time.

This is the opportunity he has been waiting for!

Now Pingdingshan was so thoughtful and prepared so many eight-treasure gift boxes for him, how could he finish them all by himself?

Give it to subordinates? That's impossible!

How can we share such a good thing with useless people like them!

Of course, good materials should be used in important places!

After all, Puguan County was a department directly under the higher authorities, so County Magistrate Tang made up his mind and sent out a total of 28 gift boxes!

Almost all officials from important departments were sent!

Of course, those old connections who had placed him in Tang County before must also be sent off!

As a result, he only had about fifty copies left.

The gift box looks a lot, but it is used up quickly.

The former Tang County magistrate asked someone to send all the remaining ones to a higher-level place!

Although he doesn't know the person and the person may never have heard of his name, once such a good gift is given, it may attract the attention of some noble person!

This is a desperate attempt for him!

But most of the gifts he had given out were still on the way, so how come the successor had already arrived!

It seems that the documents for his transfer will arrive soon!

Then is there any meaning in what he gave away?

"Oh, it's still too late! I don't know if it's in time!"
