"Hey, buddy, I haven't seen you for a few years. You look a few years older now, hahaha."

As soon as she arrived at the South Gate, she heard Feng Yong's hearty laughter from afar. It was obvious that the old man was very happy to meet his old friend.

"Brother Murong, I haven't seen you for ten years. You are still as charming as ever."

"Brother Xuan, you are the same, haha, we are all old, look at all the talented people, I have to admit that I am old."

"Humph, Murong Wanli, I will have a good debate with you today."

Another old gentleman angrily interrupted, "How dare you say that my teachings are dross!?"

"Hey, Brother He, don't be anxious. Let's find a place and talk slowly, slowly."

The group was bustling at the South Gate, attracting passers-by to come and look in wonder. When had there ever been so many well-mannered people in Beizhou?

Xiao Zhixing stood behind them without saying a word, watching them reminiscing with a smile.

They are all talented, they are all talented!

This first batch arrived so quickly, will the next ones be far behind?

At this time, Feng Yong found her and said, "Prince Yuansheng, come, come, I will introduce you to everyone."

Xiao Zhixing smiled and stepped forward, bowing, "Welcome all the great sages to come to Beizhou to help me."

"No, Prince Yuansheng, I only came here to debate with old man Murong, but I didn't agree to let you stay." Mr. He said alertly.

Xiao Zhixing smiled unchanged, "Gentlemen, you can come to Beizhou and leave your thoughts and ideas, which is enough for our Beizhou students to benefit endlessly. I still say the same thing, you are free to come and go, and you can leave at any time."

Her words made the old gentlemen feel relaxed.

They were also relieved, for they were afraid that Xiao Zhixing, the domineering guy rumored to be, would detain them and not let them leave.

Seeing this, the upright Mr. Xuan said, "Those guys are slandering the prince and are unreasonable. Next time I see them, I will scold them to death."

Xiao Zhixing smiled even more deeply, "Students only have one mouth, they really can't argue, let them do as they please, I have no regrets."

The group entered the county town and found it quite prosperous, with flat and orderly roads and streets. Even the people were dressed neatly and cleanly.

Everyone looked at it in surprise.

"Your Highness, why are there people walking on both sides of this road, while the middle is empty?" Mr. Xuan asked, sticking his neck out of the car window.

"Pedestrians should walk on the right side, and vehicles passing in the middle should also walk on the right side. In this way, the road will be orderly and uncongested."

Just then, a caravan came from the opposite direction. There were more than thirty donkey carts, occupying the entire right side of the road.

But they did not cross the middle white line and passed smoothly on the right side, so the people in their group did not have to give way.

The two sides passed each other.

Everyone was not stupid and immediately understood the convenience.

In the past, when encountering such a situation in the city, the common people would rush to squeeze out of the way. If they encountered an overbearing and powerful person, they would lose their life if they were slow to give way and could only blame themselves for their bad luck.

Mr. Xuan was a very curious person, so he simply got out of the car and said, "Let's go and take a look around."

"If Your Majesty is busy, you can go back first. We don't need your hospitality. Old Man Feng is here."

Xiao Zhixing nodded, "Okay, I really can't get away, you guys can have fun, I'll leave one person here to answer your call."

Leaving Bai Mei to accompany him, Xiao Zhixing left very decisively, as if he was not worried at all that they would see anything bad.

Mr. Xuan asked Bai Mei in surprise, "Isn't your prince afraid that I and others will see something unfair?"

Bai Mei replied sternly, "I'm not afraid even if I see it. The prince said that it's a good thing to find a problem and correct it in time. Only if it's hidden will it become a big problem."

"You all have sharp eyes, so you can help us find the mistakes in Beizhou."

Everyone was suddenly surprised.

Mr. Xuan looked at Bai Mei and said, "The little girl is quite articulate. Does your prince really think so?"

Which chief official is not afraid of people discovering the problems under his rule?

Otherwise, why are there so many stories about incognito visits?

Bai Mei pointed to the roadside and said, "There are mailboxes at every street corner. People can write letters to complain if they have any complaints. There are also branches of the Patrol Security Bureau in every block. All disputes, big or small, can be handled on the same day and must be resolved within five days."

"The chief of the Patrol Security Department will randomly check cases at any time. If there are any false accusations, the sub-chief will be punished immediately. After repeated cases, he will be dismissed from his post."

"There are bells and drums at the gate of the government office. If you have a serious grievance, you can ring them and the county magistrate or county governor will personally judge the case."

Mr. He said, "I heard that all the officials in the Patrol Security Department were selected through the state examination?"

"Yes, some adults have already taken office."

"Come on, come on, take us to see what this Patrol Security Bureau is."

So Bai Mei took them to the nearest branch office to observe how the branch office handled public sentiment, cases, public security and daily affairs.

Not to mention the shock that the Patrol Security Bureau, which was similar to the modern Public Security Bureau, gave to everyone.

Here, Xiao Zhixing had just returned to the mansion when he received a message from Bai Feng, "Haha, Xiaoxing, you guessed right, Xiao Chi has set his sights on me."

"Do you want me to go instead? Can you handle him?" Xiao Zhixing was worried.

Xiao Chi is not easy to fool. Although Bai Feng has a very realistic face and pretends to have amnesia, it will take some effort to make him believe that she is him.

Bai Feng: "It's okay, I'll try it first, and if it doesn't work I'll withdraw."

She was indeed not completely sure. Human minds were too complicated. She was not an emperor who was self-righteous.

In Beiyuan County, in front of a noodle stall somewhere, Xiao Xuan ordered a bowl of noodles.

The attendant Acai advised, "Sir, there are all kinds of cooks in the mansion. If you get sick from eating out, Madam He will not forgive me."

Xiao Xuan took the noodles and sat down, "Hey, shut up, they won't know if you don't tell them."

He took a bite and swallowed it, then frowned, "This still doesn't taste right."

Ah Cai was helpless, "You have been looking for noodles that suit your taste, what kind of noodles are they?"

Xiao Xuan puffed up his baby face and sighed, "I don't know what it tastes like, it's a little spicy and bitter, but also sweet, very complex, maybe it's what I used to eat."

Ah Cai said, "There's nothing we can do. You don't remember it, you can't tell it, and we can't find it for you."

Xiao Xuan sighed, quickly finished his noodles, and wiped his mouth, "Forget it, let's go back."

After paying the money, the master and servant stood up and walked to the sidewalk, slowly heading towards the Xiao Mansion.

Suddenly, a figure accidentally bumped into Xiao Xuan.

"Hey, don't you look at the road when you walk?" Xiao Xuan grabbed the man angrily.

Then he frowned and looked at the one-eyed young man, his eyes seemed dazed for a moment.

The one-eyed man swept his eyes across his brows with a sharp gaze, then stared at his hands, saying nothing, as if waiting for him to come back to his senses.

Xiao Xuan let go of his hand, "You..." Why do you look so familiar?

The young man looked at him deeply with his one eye, then suddenly turned and left.

Xiao Xuan couldn't help but chase after him quickly, "Hey, who are you? Do you... do you know me?"

The young man said nothing, but his feet were moving fast.

Xiao Xuan followed closely, "You are talking, you must know me, right? Hey!"

Suddenly a group of people rushed out from the side and pushed him away. When he looked up again, the young man had disappeared.

Xiao Xuan stood there with a frown on his face, as if thinking about something.

Ah Cai came after him, panting, "Master, you scared me to death."

"I won't lose it." Xiao Xuan came back to his senses, looked back at the place where the young man disappeared, then turned and left.

Soon, the one-eyed young man showed up and watched him leave.

"Young Master? Is that him?"

"Let's talk about it when we get back."

Not far away, another person also left quickly.
