Don't panic when fleeing famine, she has become the godmother of all the bosses

Chapter 186 County Government
Three adults and one child traveled all the way to Shengyuan County, which had a population of no more than 3,000. The area was quite large, but it was mostly mountainous and the people mostly made a living from agriculture.

But the inherent land conditions are too poor, so the people are extremely poor.

The county government office here is extremely dilapidated. Not only are the walls of the outer courtyard made of earth, but even the prison cells are converted from pig pens.

There was only one constable in the entire county government, and he looked half buried in the ground.

Even though Shu Yan was mentally prepared, he never thought that this old guy Su Ranqing would be so deceiving.

Chen Yun had originally thought that he could have a good rest somewhere, but now this place was shabby and there wasn't even a chair to sit on.

"Mom, is this a place for people to stay? Why don't we go back and ask someone to find us a new place."

Cheng San stepped on Chen Yunzhong's foot and said, "You are now the county magistrate and an official. You need to come up with ideas. Didn't you say before that you wanted your godmother to look at you with new eyes?"

Shu Yan took out a piece of silver from his pocket, walked to the hunched-backed captain, stuffed the money into his pocket, and said with a smile, "Captain, please buy us some tables and chairs so that we can stay here tonight."

The captain of the police took Shu Yan's money, so he naturally did his job happily.

Shu Yan, Cheng San and Chen Yunzhong began to clean up the dilapidated county government yard. There were grass half a person's height and bushes all over the yard. Asura even wiped out a nest of rabbits.

We can have meat tonight.

They managed to clean up a room to live in. The old constable bought tables, chairs and benches, and the few of them cleaned up the room in a hurry.

It was already dark at this time, and the few people just stopped.

Shu Yan was so tired that he couldn't even straighten his back, but Cheng San was smart enough to set up the pot, skin the rabbit, cut the meat and stew it with some wild vegetables.

The taste is naturally very unsatisfactory.

Chen Yun finally took a sip, curled his lips, and said, "It would be great if Brother Bai was here, he has good cooking skills."

In fact, Shu Yan also felt like something was missing, and he didn't know if it was God's blessing.

I only heard the sound of horse hooves outside, and saw Bai Guichen, covered in dust, getting off his horse. He had a tired look on his face, but after seeing a few people, his eyes lit up.

Bai Guichen walked into the crowd, picked up a bowl of rabbit meat soup, took a sip, and then spit it out.

This made Cheng San feel very embarrassed.

Bai Guichen took out some spices from his pocket and cooked them again, and then everyone tasted them.

All I heard was Chen Yunzhong saying, "Brother Bai's cooking skills are really good. It's great that Brother Bai is back."

Bai Guichen smiled and took out a large piece of cold beef from his package.

Cheng San's eyes lit up now. The three young men in their twenties began to fight for the meat. Shu Yan looked at everything in front of him and felt a sense of security in his heart.

The little Asura sat on one side, his eyes also shining brightly.

Asura said to Shu Yan: "Grandma, Asura feels warm in his heart at this moment."

Shu Yan reached out and touched Asura's head.

Ashura continued, "Grandma, you said before that you came for me, why?"

Shu Yan's eyes narrowed with laughter.

"Because grandma, you have done so many things just to make sure that no child in the world will have to live in pain anymore."

Asura looked at Shu Yan steadily.

"Asura can do whatever grandma wants to do." Shu Yan hugged Asura and looked at the dark sky. Although there were no stars tonight, the moon was exceptionally bright.

The depression that had accumulated in Shu Yan's heart before seemed to dissipate instantly at this moment.

She has so many people around her, so many relatives, she is not alone, she can make it to the end.

Early the next morning, I thought I could clean up the county government office quickly, but it started raining, and it was heavy rain.

The roof of the county government office was not strong and it started leaking after a while.

The old and young hid in a small room, looking extremely embarrassed. Chen Yun finally hid under a board and said very depressedly: "I am the county magistrate after all, but now I don't even have a place to hide from the rain. I'm afraid people will laugh at me if I tell others about it."

Bai Guichen coughed lightly.

"If it doesn't work, let's find a private house to take shelter from the rain."

As soon as he finished speaking, the old constable appeared with an umbrella. He said to the crowd, "This county government office has been in disrepair for a long time. Come with me to the tavern to take shelter from the rain."

Everyone had no choice but to follow the old detective into the county town. Shengyuan County had only a very small street with only a grocery store and a tavern.

They came to a shabby tavern today. It was raining today, so quite a lot of people gathered inside. When they saw the old constable bringing such a group of people, the tavern, which was originally bustling, suddenly became quiet.

Shu Yan obviously felt something was wrong, and Bai Guichen stood in front of everyone.

These people were dressed very strangely, and it was obvious at first glance that they were not farmers from the county. They might be bandits hiding in the mountains. This old constable might have some bad intentions in bringing them here.

The bald, one-eyed burly man in the lead said viciously: "You lackeys of the imperial court, how dare you come here? Aren't you afraid of death?"

The old constable had already left the tavern at this moment, and he was allowed to escape.

The sturdy man drew out a long knife and stabbed towards Chen Yunzhong. It was obvious that he knew who the county magistrate was.

Bai Guichen didn't give this guy a chance and knocked him back with one punch. The strong man's accomplices were obviously not convinced and directly resorted to a group fight. Asura and Cheng San also joined the battle.

Chen Yunzhong hid behind his mother and said fearfully, "Mom, don't be afraid, I will protect you!"

Although Asura is still young, he is very skilled and even has a beastly nature that is determined to fight to the death, which scared everyone back a few steps.

The leading sturdy man said: "Just wait, we in the Grass Mang Gang will definitely not let you off!"

After saying this, the strong man ran away with his men.

Chen Yunzhong stomped his feet in anger.

"How ridiculous! I am the county magistrate. Do these people take me, the county magistrate, seriously?"

The country is in chaos and there is only one constable in this place, and he is a treacherous man. So he is naturally useless as a county magistrate.

Su Ranqing was willing to give her the territory, of course, he had bad intentions, Shu Yan was not surprised, she asked everyone to sit down, and said to the shopkeeper and his wife who were hiding in the corner in fear: "Hurry up and bring some food, you will get the money."

The shopkeeper served some roasted potatoes and a pot of steaming wild vegetable soup.

The food is coarse and hard to eat, and the wine sold here is very turbid.

This place is really extremely poor. Bai Guichen ate a potato expressionlessly, then said, "Godmother, do you want me to catch that old constable?"

Shu Yan sneered.

"No, he's just a small fry."
