The new county magistrate still felt some resentment, after all, he had not yet taken revenge personally.

After the humiliation he suffered that day and when he had no power, of course he just hid himself.

But it’s different now, since he has sat in this position, of course he has to do everything he can to make that person pay back a hundredfold!

I hadn't even tortured him yet and he ran away. He's lucky!

People from the yamen have returned one after another, and he has to maintain his image of being kind to his subordinates!

All the food they brought was consumed, so they had to take out some copper coins and ask someone to buy some flour, and then come back to organize everyone to roll noodles together.

"Master...this money..."

"Ah, it's nothing. It's all my own money. You can go and buy things without worry." He tried his best to appear generous and selfless, and he abided by his duties and never used the public funds of the government.

He thought his men would flatter him again. He waited there with his eyes half-closed, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and pinching his beard.

"No... sir, this money... is not enough."

New County Magistrate:......

This group of evil-hearted and heartless money-eating machines!

If it’s not enough, don’t you know to add some yourself?

Didn't he feed them enough?

But given his personality, he really couldn't bring himself to say this.

He struggled with what to say.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, his subordinate quickly explained: "During the New Year, prices are very high."

"Yes, yes, yes, Master, rest assured. You are so kind to us, we will definitely not embezzle your money! These copper coins...maybe only enough for three or five people to eat..."

The new county magistrate was heartbroken.

According to what you said, I should pay twice as much for the harm I caused!

But now he was trapped here, and he was the one who took the initiative to give money and let others buy food, so how could he have the nerve to go back on his word?

"Ah, I see. Then...I will go back and get some more."

He returned to the inner room, pinched his almost empty purse, and counted out twenty copper coins one by one.

He counted it again, then slowly put one coin back, then he held the coin in his hand and took it out.

"Take it. This... the weather is cold and everyone is freezing. When you cook the noodles, add more soup. Let everyone drink two bowls of soup to warm themselves up. Don't catch a cold!"

"Thank you, sir!"

"Our master is so good to us!"

"Go ahead. Eh? Don't forget to give me two bowls too!"

......

The former county magistrate drove his carriage out of the city.

He ran for a long way before he stopped and looked back.

"Oh, I'm scared to death." When he was at the post station, he saw several dark shadows peeping outside the window.

And the sound of hunger that came and went was something he was very familiar with.

And there was the familiar whistle, which he had taught his subordinates. He knew that someone from the government office was following him.

After leaving the post station, he quickly jumped on the carriage and rushed out of the city.

The sound of people walking on the snow was so obvious that even when he was driving the carriage he knew someone was following him.

"Hey, we must not let them find out about the business in Pingdingshan! Otherwise, they will be robbed!"

Oh my god, he was scared and never dared to show off his wealth again.

It took a long detour to finally reach Pingdingshan.

There were a lot more people at the gate of Pingdingshan, secretly looking inside.

Even if they had dropped their own children off at the door, they would still come to see if the children had successfully found a job.

Seeing that the child was no longer at the gate, I couldn't help but feel excited.

"Great."

"Hahaha, it's good once you get in! You might be able to get the money once you get in!"

Many parents applauded.

"Don't be too happy too soon. Take a look at what is written on this board." The former Tang County magistrate said to them while sitting in the carriage and reading the words on the countless repeated notice boards on the side of the road.

"Hey, big brother, you are here to send your child off as well, right? Hahaha, we are the same. Hey, what's written on it? We... can't read, big brother, please explain it to us."

The former county magistrate raised his voice a few notches and said, "Disclaimer: Abandoning a child is illegal. If the child is not picked up in time and no one claims the child within 48 hours, the child will be sent to the government office. Pingdingshan has no obligation to protect the child. We are not responsible for any problems that may arise with the child."

"What do you mean?" Someone's face changed immediately.

"What is a disclaimer? How is it related to the government?"

"Exactly. Who are you trying to scare?"

County Magistrate Qian shook his head and said, "To be honest, I really did work in the government office before. I'm not trying to scare you."

"Forget it. It's my child, I can throw him wherever I want! Even the Lord can't do anything about it!"

"If you don't believe it, just give it a try." County Magistrate Qian was too lazy to talk to a group of unruly people, so he raised his whip and was about to leave.

"People can't teach people."

"Tsk, look at how he's dressed, it's obvious he's not a good guy." They were all hoping that the child would be taken in by Pingdingshan!

Now the child is not at the gate, so he must have gone in! If he went in and worked, Pingdingshan would not pay him!

Anyway, there is no way I can take him home today!

They had just gathered together to discuss a few words when someone came out of the gate and walked towards them.

They quickly dispersed and ran away.

"Humph, you can't take the baby away no matter what!"

"Whatever you want."

The robot was not angry when they left. It just pointed to a simple wooden house in their area, but in the eyes of other villagers, it was a house that only the rich could afford and said, "Your children are all there."

After saying that, she went back again.

Pingdingshan's work efficiency is excellent. County Magistrate Qian placed the order, paid the silver, confirmed that these orders included free jewelry, and also informed the staff of the situation and family information of several familiar officials.

All of these have been entered into the database.

As the character portraits become more complete, they can also more accurately identify customer needs.

Servant robot: "This information is very useful. Family members of different ages have very different preferences for jewelry styles. With this data, we can match more suitable jewelry!"

County Magistrate Qian said this because he thought it might be helpful.

"Oh, that's great. I'll pay more attention to it in the future. Once I get any useful information, I'll sort it out and send it to you."

"No wonder the director thinks highly of you and gave you the agency rights. You are indeed different."

The robot's small appearance was all designed by Si Xiaoxiao herself. Although the style is not very stunning, it is definitely not bad.

This compliment, written with a smile on his face, made County Magistrate Tang feel so flattered.

"I, I will go back and collect information!"

"Sir, walk slowly."

By the time the former Tang County Magistrate came out of the gate, those who had come to lose the child had already dispersed.

County Magistrate Tang walked to the most conspicuous notice board, took out a pen and paper, and with great kindness, wrote down clearly how many strokes of the cane the abandoned child would receive and how many years of imprisonment the child would be held.

He put away his pen and ink and clapped his hands: "You're welcome."

Si Xiaoxiao saw this from the camera and zoomed in to see the words clearly.

Then they sent a robot to add a signature under those words: Tang County Yamen.
