The Golden County Magistrate

A guard asked curiously, "What's the noise outside?" Then he walked over and opened the window of the room.

Instantly, a wave of stench hit him in the face!

The guard was caught off guard, took a big breath, his face changed drastically, and hurriedly covered his nose and retreated: "Damn! What a smell!"

Everyone in the room also hurriedly covered their noses, and they could hardly open their eyes because of the stench.

Wei Han covered her nose and walked to the window, only to see one snail cart after another coming from the other end of the long street. The back of the cart was covered with coarse cloth, so she couldn't see what was inside, but the stench really penetrated people's hearts.

After so many days in Qingshan County, the street environment here is better than anywhere else she has seen, with flowers and trees everywhere. This is the first time she has encountered such a stench.

Someone outside shouted, "What on earth is on the cart?"

On one of the carts, the driver had a sad face, and both of his nostrils were stuffed with cloth strips. He said in a muffled voice, "Fish!"

The person who asked was angry, "Nonsense! How can fish be so smelly?"

The driver replied, "Nonsense, how can dead fish not smell?"

The person who asked was even angrier, "Are you crazy? Why did you bring dead fish?"

The driver rolled his eyes, "Do you think I like it? These are dead fish bought by the county magistrate and sent to the feed factory in the east of the city!"

The person who asked stopped shouting and muttered, "Even if it's sent to the feed factory, it can't be left in the center of the city. No, I have to write a letter of advice to the county magistrate's hotline later!"

Wei Han was extremely surprised.

Feed factory? County magistrate's hotline?

What is this?

In the inner hall of the county government, the passionate waves of love surged one after another, and it took a long time to subside.

Lu Qing'er was so weak that she rested for a long time before she could get up. She said shyly, "Sir, it seems that I'm fine."

When Chen Yan mentioned that he was almost broken, she was really scared.

Fortunately, this fierce battle proved that everything was fine. The young master was still very brave, even more powerful than before.

Chen Yan was completely relieved and said with a smile, "It shows that I am lucky! I even suspected that the girl did it on purpose. I almost died of pain at that time..."

Before he finished speaking, a shameful scolding suddenly came from outside: "Who did it on purpose? I didn't mean it!"

The two were stunned and looked at each other.

This voice...

Lu Qing'er quickly put on her clothes and came out of the house. She saw Wei Han standing outside with red cheeks, looking embarrassed and uneasy.

"Miss Wei, when did you come?" Lu Qing'er also blushed and asked quickly.

"It came when your master said 'Look at my move of lifting the tripod' and then suddenly said 'Oh, I forgot my arm was injured'!" Wei Han said embarrassedly.

She rushed back to the county government office and heard a burst of etiquette and shame as soon as she came in, and she was stunned on the spot!

She would never have thought that it was still broad daylight, and he actually started... She was so embarrassed that she almost dug a hole and crawled in.

"Ah? That must have been half an hour ago!" Lu Qing'er was a little dumbfounded.

Doesn't this mean that she was outside and eavesdropped on the two of them for half an hour!

"No, no! I came in and saw you were busy, so I went out. After a while, I came in to see if you were done. I didn't expect you to be busy until now." Wei Han hurriedly explained.

"Do you have something to do with the young master?" Lu Qing'er said, holding back her laughter.

If you come in once every few minutes, you still heard a lot of noise, right?

"I have something to do. I'll wait for him outside." Wei Han didn't dare to stay any longer. She said this and turned around and ran out.

Not long after, Chen Yan packed up and went to the yard outside. He saw Wei Han practicing boxing.

Her pretty face was flushed. I don't know if it was because she was too hot from boxing or for other reasons.

But I have to say that it was really pleasing to the eye when a pretty girl was practicing boxing. The flying robe was very moving.

"So urgent? The gift has to wait." Chen Yan walked to the stone table and sat down. He told Qian Wu to go to the Nafu Camp to get the gift, and it took a while to go back and forth.

"It's not this. I have something to ask Lord Chen for advice." Wei Han quickly put away her fist, walked over, sat down opposite him, and said a little awkwardly.

"Suddenly you became so distant?" Chen Yan was surprised. He could hear the distance she deliberately kept from her tone.

"Originally, you and I just met." Wei Han said reluctantly.

In fact, what made her want to keep her distance was what happened just now, which made her remember clearly something that she had forgotten before going to Wuyin.

This Lord Chen has a wife!

"You are being so formal! Do you want me to remind you again what our relationship is?" Chen Yan said with a smile.

"No, no need!" Wei Han's cheeks immediately blushed, and she hurriedly changed the subject, "Let's talk about business, what is the county magistrate's hotline?"

Fortunately, Chen Yan did not continue to sayGo, look at her carefully, and then speak.

"There is a square in the center of the city, which is the landmark of our Qingshan County."

"In the center of the square, I have set up an iron cylinder about the thickness of a person's embrace, with a thin slit on it for letters to be inserted."

"If the people have any opinions or suggestions, they can write their ideas in letters and insert them through the slit."

"Only I have the key to open the iron cylinder. Every once in a while, I will open it to see if there are any interesting suggestions."

"So only I can see it, so it is called the 'County Magistrate's Line'."

"Why are you suddenly interested in this?"

Wei Han suddenly realized, and then told him about the dead fish on the street just now.

Chen Yan slapped his thigh: "I almost forgot about this, the dead fish has been delivered!"

Chang Rui told him when he came before that the dead fish had all been loaded and sent from Lianggu County. Chen Yan was busy asking Qing'er to help "check" the key points, and he didn't have time to deal with this matter.

"I heard that they were going to take it to the feed factory. What does feed mean?" Wei Han asked humbly.

"It's better to see it directly than to talk about it. I have to go there anyway. Why don't I take you with me? You will know when you see it." Chen Yan stood up and walked out.

The feed factory is located inside the East Second Ring Road of the county town, in the industrial zone planned by Chen Yan.

Most of the factory buildings are here. When the carriage and Wei Han arrived at the industrial zone, the latter was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped to the ground!

Chen Yan didn't invite her to take a carriage, so she naturally rode a horse alone. After passing through a small forest in the city, she saw a series of neatly divided rectangular areas in front of her.

In each area, there is a separate courtyard surrounded by high walls. Inside, there are large chimneys at least five meters high, towering into the sky, and smoke is constantly emitted into the air.

A rough count shows that there are at least hundreds of these chimneys!

Those high walls, all made of cement, that uniform gray color made the whole area look more solemn and dignified, forming an extreme contrast with the leisurely and comfortable residential area she just passed, which made her scalp tingle.

She has been to countless places.

But she has never seen such a spectacular sight!
