And a bunch of dried mushrooms with an enticing aroma.

These vegetables are extremely fresh, as if they had just been picked from the ground.

Even the careful villagers cleaned the dirt on it thoroughly.

The ceramic pot is filled with rich and mellow chicken soup and tender and juicy meat.

If you look closely at this pottery jar, you can see that its surface is covered with traces of time.

It was mottled and slightly worn, and had obviously been in the family for many years;

There are many dents of varying sizes on the body of the can, and there are many cracks on the edge of the can.

It was probably the only pottery jar in the house, but it was still used to thank Wang Chengzi.

He then packed the chicken soup and gave it to Wang Chengzi.

It was wiped clean, although a little worn.

But it is clean.

There were also loads of firewood piled up in front of the yamen gate.

They are neatly arranged and piled in the corner.

From the wetness of the firewood, Wang Chengzi could tell that these were recently cut by the people in the mountains.

Wang Chengzi looked at the things hanging on his body and placed on the ground.

We know that these seemingly not-so-decent food and firewood are already the villagers’ greatest sincerity.

Wang Chengzi knew that these people were very simple and honest, and this was their way of expressing gratitude.

Not only that, even the entrance to the yamen was piled with loads of firewood.

The firewood was stacked neatly and piled up in the corner like a small hill.

Wang Chengzi knew what kind of firewood it was when he saw how wet it was.

The villagers must have just come down from the mountains to cut down trees.

At this moment, Wang Chengzi silently stared at the objects hanging on his body and scattered on the ground.

He knew clearly that these foods and firewood might be insignificant or even shabby in the eyes of rich people.

In fact, it has brought together the most sincere and profound friendship and gratitude of the villagers.

For these kind and simple people, this is the best expression of gratitude they can think of.

However, Wang Chengzi didn't want to collect these things.

These are things that the people have worked hard for.

Because he becomes an official to benefit the people, not to gain from it.

But if I send it back, it would be somewhat disrespectful of their sincerity.

So Wang Chengzi called a few yamen runners to collect all these things.

Prepare to deliver it to the county government warehouse later.

Save it for use in the government office.

Then he secretly made up his mind to work harder for the people.

Make Wudu a truly peaceful and prosperous place.

On the second floor of a restaurant not far away, several people were sitting together and looking at the entrance of the yamen at the same time.

There was a table full of food and wine, but no one picked up their chopsticks.

Just staring at Wang Chengzi, watching how popular Wang Chengzi was.

Li Zhiqiang took a sip of tea and looked at Wang Chengzi below with sparkling eyes.

I don't know what he's planning.

Li Zhiqiang is the president of Wudu Chamber of Commerce and runs the largest restaurant, teahouse, brothel and tea house in Wudu.

There are also countless fertile fields that are rented out to tenants.

The rent collected every year alone is a considerable sum of money.

When Chen Youni was in office, Li Zhiqiang often sent "tributes" to Chen Youni.

Therefore, Chen Youni would protect him more and allow Li Zhiqiang's business in Wudu to flourish.

He even became the president of Wudu's Chamber of Commerce.

Today's private room was also booked by Li Zhiqiang.

The few people who came in were all influential figures in the Chamber of Commerce.

In one respect, they are the same as the common people this time.

I also want to see what happens to Chen Youni.

After all, we have been shrouded in the shadow of Chen Youni for so many years.

Normally, Chen Youni would bring officers and soldiers to his house and ask them to increase the amount of "filial piety" on their own initiative.

After being exploited for so many years, we can finally see what happened to Chen Youni.

It would be a lie to say that I don't want to watch the fun.

On the other hand, we need to see Wang Chengzi's attitude.

Let’s see if the new county magistrate really wants to be a good official, or if he is just making a few changes after taking office.

Chen Youni unfortunately bumped into the muzzle of the gun.

And Wang Chengzi will become like Chen Youni in the future.

They only need to send some beauties, and gold will have a backer again.

But now, looking at Wang Chengzi's attitude towards the villagers.

Li Zhiqiang and his companions did not dare to jump to conclusion and could only find an opportunity to observe carefully.

It would be best if I could send something and everything would be back to normal.

As long as Wang Chengzi is not like Chen Youni, who is insatiable and has an enlarged appetite.

Then everyone can be happy.

As long as we can give them a way out.

But don't be ungrateful and insist on being an honest official.

If Wang Chengzi insisted on being too ruthless and didn't give them a chance to live.

They also have a way to make Wang Chengzi's life difficult.

Several people exchanged glances, and everything was said without words.

I saw that the people had all dispersed.

The big show below was over and everyone dispersed.

All that was left was a table full of delicious food, already cold.

It formed a sharp contrast with the vegetables and mushrooms that were specially sent to the yamen.

---

When Chen Youni was paraded through the streets the next day, pedestrians crowded the streets on both sides.

It caused a bigger sensation in Wudu than when Sheng Zhiwen was paraded through the streets a few years ago.

When Chen Youni was hit by rotten eggs, rotten vegetable leaves and dog shit and couldn't open his eyes.

A group of soldiers escorted the Chen family members and walked out from beside Chen Youni.

The people of the Chen family were also covered in dirt by the excited people.

These people usually look down on others and act like superiors.

It was as if his spine was broken, and he dared not say a word.

He lowered his head dejectedly and walked past the people.

At the end of the team was the limping Chen Jingbing, who had been hit right on the knee by a stick thrown by a yamen runner yesterday.

Chen Jingbing kept complaining about leg pain in the cell at night and asked the guards to call a doctor for him.

As a result, the doctor was not found and the guards complained that Chen Jingbing was too noisy.

He whipped Chen Jingbing a few more times.

Chen Jingbing was so scared that he never dared to ask the doctor again.

The pain was so severe that I fell asleep in the middle of the night. By the time I finally fell asleep it was already dawn.

Then he was awakened by a loud gong sound, and Chen Jingbing felt his head buzzing.

However, the yamen runners didn't even give them time to wake up.

All adult males in the Chen family were directly put in handcuffs and shackles.

Then they set off for Lingnan.

And if anyone walked a little slower, the bailiffs would whip them.

The person who was beaten covered his wound in pain, but did not dare to complain.

He didn't even dare to let others see his unwilling look.

Chen Jingbing was afraid of being beaten, so he had to limp behind the team and didn't dare to fall behind.
