The whole village is fleeing famine, fortunately I have a concubine system

This also made Wang Chengzi feel a lot more relaxed, and more importantly, there were no more branches hitting him.

Dabai carried Wang Chengzi on his back without affecting his speed at all.

Following closely behind Lily, he ran down the mountain, disturbing the sleep of countless small animals along the way.

Some small herbivorous animals were frightened and huddled together, seeking some sense of security.

I don’t know how two tigers suddenly appeared on this mountain.

Running around in the mountains at night without sleeping is simply enough to scare the beast to death.

It was not until the two men and two tigers came down the mountain that the animals in the mountains gradually stopped their rioting.

At this time, Wang Chengzi and Xiaomi had already arrived at the road at the foot of the mountain.

Dabai looked at Xiaomi, silently asking Xiaomi where to go next.

Xiaomi didn't know when Wang Chengzi was appointed, so she asked Wang Chengzi.

Wang Chengzi pressed Dabai's back and sat up, exhaling deeply.

Only then did he recover from the shock he had endured along the way.

He rubbed the place where he was hit by the branch with a grin, and then said to Xiaomi: "Let's go to Wudu first."

Dabai received the order and rushed towards Wudu.

Lily followed closely behind, her speed not slowing down at all compared to Dabai.

All that was left was billowing dust and smoke that filled the night, then slowly dissipated silently without anyone noticing.

Wang Chengzi couldn't stand Dabai's bumping, so he had to resign himself to hugging Dabai's neck and lying on Dabai's body.

After finally arriving in Wudu, the sky had already turned gray.

Just wait for the sun to come out, it will break through the darkness and bring warm light to people.

The gate of Wudu had not yet been opened, and there was only one guard standing on the city wall.

Wang Chengzi patted Dabai on the back and asked Dabai to put him down.

Otherwise, the way I lay there would look really embarrassing.

Dabai obediently lay on the ground, making it easier for Wang Chengzi to get down.

Xiaomi also jumped off Lily's back and went to support Wang Chengzi.

Wang Chengzi slowly got down from Dabai's back with the help of Xiaomi.

Then he looked up at the drowsy guard on the city gate and said, "Open the city gate quickly."

The guard was standing at the lookout and was almost asleep.

But he was awakened by Wang Chengzi's voice and rubbed his eyes impatiently.

He stood there and said to Wang Chengzi, "What are you arguing about? Go and get in line. It's not time to open the city gates yet."

Wang Chengzi took out the appointment letter from his arms and waved it upwards.

He said: "I am the newly appointed magistrate of Wudu County and I have just arrived here.

Open the door now."

Although the guards are the lowest-level staff in the county government, they still know about the personnel changes of their superiors.

What's more, the original county magistrate had already started making arrangements to welcome the new county magistrate when he received the imperial edict.

The original county magistrate was already in his middle age and had no foundation.

Because he had no one to back him up, he spent so many years as a county magistrate.

I am timid and always worry too much.

He was greedy for money and afraid of death, which was why Sheng Zhiwen was so domineering in Wudu in the past.

He also saw that County Magistrate Chen was timid and cowardly, and was obsessed with promotion.

Some people reported the case to Magistrate Chen, but Magistrate Chen had a brother-in-law who was a Tongzhi in the provincial capital.

No one dared to do anything to Sheng Zhiwen. When they first received the petitions from the people, they would even say a few words about Sheng Zhiwen.

Later on, he even stopped accepting petitions from the common people as long as he heard that the person being sued was Sheng Zhiwen.

Don't even see it, just pretend to be deaf and dumb. Pretend that nothing happened.

He just hoped that Yin Tongzhi would give him some support since he had not caused any trouble.

Just mentioning the name of County Magistrate Chen in front of Chu Hezhou would make him satisfied.

Unfortunately, County Magistrate Chen's wishful thinking was wrong. Sheng Zhiwen was beheaded, and Tongzhi Yin never mentioned him again.

The prefect Chu also gave him a serious warning after Sheng Zhiwen was beheaded.

Chu Hezhou asked County Magistrate Chen to go to the provincial capital, and when they met, he criticized County Magistrate Chen mercilessly.

County Magistrate Chen lowered his head obediently, allowing Chu Hezhou to continue to point out his faults.

The beads of sweat were particularly obvious on County Magistrate Chen's shiny forehead.

But County Magistrate Chen did not dare to wipe it off. He let the sweat gather on his forehead and then drip onto the floor.

Chu Hezhou saw the look on County Magistrate Chen's face and shook his head.

Knowing that this kind of person would not change no matter what he said, he told him that he would check on him regularly and then waved his hand to let County Magistrate Chen leave.

County Magistrate Chen retreated respectfully, and when he retreated outside the study, he looked like he had been fished out of the water.

He even seemed to be a few inches shorter. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and nose with his sleeve.

He looked up at the azure blue sky in despair, knowing that his future was completely over.

The possibility of his promotion was not great in the first place, and now he had made a big mistake with the prefect.

County Magistrate Chen now only hopes that there will be no more trouble in Wudu, which is under his jurisdiction.

It would be best if he could safely wait for the next county magistrate to take over.

County Magistrate Chen thought that he should seize the opportunity to collect money so that he could retire and return home after the new county magistrate arrived.

Enjoy the good life happily.
