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

"Hurry up and open the city gate to welcome our county magistrate."

After saying this, he got down from the carriage with the help of Butler Chen.

He raised his arm and asked Butler Chen to tidy up his official uniform and smooth down his hair which had been loosened as he walked too fast.

After tidying up his demeanor, he stood at the city gate with a group of yamen runners waiting.

As the city gate slowly opened, County Magistrate Chen saw two people, one big and one small, standing outside the city gate.

County Magistrate Chen looked at Wang Chengzi in surprise, who looked a little embarrassed.

Although Wang Chengzi looked a little disheveled, he was still immersed in writing due to years of reading.

He went to the capital again and won the top three places in the imperial examination.

It was a time when he was full of energy and vigor, although he looked a little embarrassed.

However, his demeanor gradually became different from that of ordinary people.

County Magistrate Chen was shocked for a moment by Wang Chengzi's appearance, but after serving as a county magistrate for so many years, he had seen the world to some extent.

It only took him a moment to come back to his senses, and then he saw Xiaomi beside Wang Chengzi.

Xiaomi actually looks more like Zhang Xing'er, but when she stands next to Wang Chengzi, you can still see some similarities between them.

When County Magistrate Chen saw Xiaomi's appearance, he knew that this was Wang Chengzi's child.

He put on a smile on his face and was about to show his friendly side to Xiaomi.

Seeing two tigers standing not far from them, the corners of his mouth twitched and he forced out a smile that was uglier than crying.

Just at this moment, Dabai bared his teeth and yelled at County Magistrate Chen.

He revealed his sharp fangs, which shone brightly in the daylight.

Like a weapon, it glows a cold white light and can easily crush the bones of its prey.

County Magistrate Chen pointed at the tiger with a trembling finger and said, "Old man, there is a tiger."

The others also took a step back in unison, their legs shaking constantly.

Some people who were particularly timid were so scared that they even closed their eyes and dared not look at the tiger that was not far away from them.

Even the brave ones didn't dare to stare at it. They looked at the ground and occasionally raised their heads to take a glance.

Then he quickly retracted his gaze and lowered his head to stare at the ground.

He studied it carefully, as if something interesting had suddenly appeared on the ground.

I was thinking that when I get back, I can brag to my neighbors that I have seen a big tiger with my own eyes.

And there were two of them at once, and the most important thing was there was also a big white tiger.

Wang Chengzi saw County Magistrate Chen's reaction and pretended to be stern and scolded Dabai, "Dabai, lie down and behave yourself."

After that, he explained to County Magistrate Chen and others, "Don't be afraid, this is my family who raised him since he was young.

Even though it's a tiger, it's just like my own child."

When Dabai heard what Wang Chengzi said, he whispered "Awoo" to Wang Chengzi, as if he was acting coquettishly.

Then I lay down on the ground obediently, looking like the most obedient person.

It is completely different from the beast that just frightened County Magistrate Chen.

Lily looked at Dabai and then at Wang Chengzi, wondering what they were doing.

Although he didn't know, he still lay down like Dabai.

The two front paws were placed together and the head was gently placed on top of them.

Xiaomi stood quietly beside Wang Chengzi, listening to the greetings between Wang Chengzi and County Magistrate Chen.

County Magistrate Chen heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the two tigers were quite human.

He smiled awkwardly at Wang Chengzi, and then gently moved his limbs that had been stiffened by fear.

Wang Chengzi also smiled, then took out the appointment letter and said:

"This is my appointment letter. Your Excellency can take a look at it to verify its authenticity."

County Magistrate Chen then remembered the important matter and winked at Steward Chen.

Butler Chen walked towards Wang Chengzi trembling, but he didn't want to tremble.

But looking at the two huge monsters behind Wang Chengzi, his feet seemed to have thoughts of his own and kept shaking.

Not only were my legs shaking, but even my arms, which were covered by my clothes, were covered with goose bumps.

However, despite shaking, Butler Chen still forced a smile and walked to Wang Chengzi.

He respectfully took the appointment document from Wang Chengzi with both hands.

Then he slowly walked to the side of County Magistrate Chen and handed the appointment letter he had taken from Wang Chengzi to County Magistrate Chen.

County Magistrate Chen took the document from Steward Chen and a lantern was brought over.

Facing the firelight, County Magistrate Chen looked carefully at the document in his hand. After confirming that it was correct, the smile on his face deepened.

She said to Wang Chengzi and Xiaomi, "Oh my, my brother and your daughter, please get in the car quickly. We are sorry for not welcoming you in person."

Wang Chengzi did not refuse and took Xiaomi directly to the carriage that County Magistrate Chen had just taken.

Only when they got closer did they see how luxurious the carriage was. As soon as they got to the side of the carriage, a servant quickly put the footrests on to make it easier for the two of them to get on.

Wang Chengzi first carried Xiaomi up, and then he stepped onto the carriage.

After getting in the car, Xiaomi couldn't help but sigh.

This carriage not only looks luxurious on the outside, but is also extremely exquisite on the inside.

I thought about taking a closer look at the bead curtain on the carriage. If I was not mistaken, this bead curtain seemed to be made of pearls.

You should know that there are no artificial pearls nowadays. They are all naturally collected from the water little by little by hand.

You have to know that Wudu is inland and there are no pearls produced nearby.

There are at least five hundred pearls on the bead curtain, if not six hundred, although their quality is not particularly good.

But there are too many of them, and I don’t know how much silver it would take to buy so many pearls.

Thinking of this, Xiaomi glanced at County Magistrate Chen's belly.

Although he was wearing a loose official robe, one could still see that County Magistrate Chen had a bulging belly.

He also has a bloated body and sparse hair, giving him the image of a greasy middle-aged man.

Xiaomi couldn't help but complain to Tuanzi: "Tuanzi, this county magistrate is the fattest person I have ever seen since I traveled through time."

Tuanzi also looked at County Magistrate Chen and said "hmm" in agreement.

I started discussing with Xiaomi why County Magistrate Chen’s belly was so big.

Each person and each system talked for a long time, and finally came to the conclusion that County Magistrate Chen was full of the people's money.

This is not a random statement, after all, Xiaomi has also met other officials.

Chu Hezhou was still a prefect, but he did not enjoy the same luxurious life as County Magistrate Chen.

The same goes for Magistrate Li. Among the three, Magistrate Chen is the most greedy.

You know, it has been several years, and Xiaomi still remembers it clearly.

When we fled from Lotus Village to Wudu, County Magistrate Chen asked for one or two taels of silver from each person as an entrance fee.

That's one tael of silver! It's hard for ordinary farmers to just survive.

Where can I get even one or two ounces of silver?

It is unknown how many refugees were killed as a result of County Magistrate Chen's action at that time.
