After feeding the exiled criminals, she was forced to reveal herself

Chapter 327: There is a way out for adults outside the city

In the past, he could tolerate their cheating and slacking in ordinary chores, and he could also swallow his anger and familiarize himself with the situation in Yucheng as soon as possible when they made all kinds of excuses for official business.

But he never expected that the bandits were so arrogant and domineering that they dared to shoot arrows at the gate of the yamen, and they dared to be so negligent in doing their work!

In the whole Yucheng, everyone was laughing at him.

Feng Chen waved his hands irritably, "Get out! Send someone to urge them!"

"Yes, my lord!"

The doorman withdrew quickly.

Feng Chen paced back and forth in the room, feeling annoyed!

Wan Lichun, the bandit chieftain of Qinglong Village, was extremely arrogant. He came down the mountain to cause trouble, and he was so bold as to inform the Yucheng authorities in advance!

Isn't it obvious that they don't take him, the newly appointed magistrate of Yucheng, seriously?

He even disregarded the laws of the court!

But this was not the only thing that made Feng Chen most angry.

On the night he received the provocative letter, he asked his subordinates to invite several influential gentry in Yucheng to the yamen.

But those families are really closely connected.

If one family doesn't respond, several families won't say a word.

He hypocritically asked the servants in the mansion to send him a few rusty swords and guns, as a way of supporting him as the official of Yucheng.

Whether in public or in private, Feng Chen could not find any fault with others.

The matter of suppressing bandits had nothing to do with ordinary people like them. It was the duty of the government garrison. What did it have to do with them? Besides, they didn't turn a blind eye to it. They "dug" out their family fortunes and fully supported him as a parent official to make decisions for the people!

Both his face and his dignity have been taken care of, what else can he say?
What's even more infuriating is that not long after, the foreman brought back news that several big men in charge of the families were so scared that their faces turned pale and they all fell ill in their homes because they heard that the bandits from Qinglong Village were going to come down the mountain to rob the city.

The doctors in the city are extremely busy.

Feng Chen spat out a mouthful of blood at that time!
He raised his hand and threw the covered bowl on the desk in the second hall!

This is really disgusting to him!
Feng Chen was so angry that he didn't sleep all night and got up early to visit every household.

Not only did he spend money to prepare gifts, but he also had to endure the nausea when he entered the door and watch them perform in front of him in a hypocritical manner. After going around in circles, his head was buzzing, because he was dealing with a bunch of old foxes.

He is a fledgling seventh-rank county magistrate, how...cowardly!
With an ambition to serve the people, he had a deep understanding of Yucheng in just a few months. No wonder others looked at him that way when he was transferred there.

But, the others have already arrived.

Are we just going to admit defeat to this group of people?
The young county magistrate was very unwilling.

I was feeling depressed all day, and suddenly I remembered the fortune-telling I had done on the roadside on my way back to the government office after suffering a lot of humiliation during the day.

Feng Chen stood at the doorstep, not far from the charcoal fire for heating, but still felt a little cold.

But being cold also has its benefits.

It's just to make his mind calmer.

"What else did the fortune teller say?"

County Magistrate Feng, who was desperate and trying all kinds of treatments, tried hard to recall the divination he had cast on the way back to the county government office in the evening.

——Outside the southwest city of Yucheng, there may be a way for adults to help me out of this predicament.

If he remembered correctly, it was southwest, right?

Feng Chen was young. After taking office, he often heard that banditry was rampant in Qingzhou Prefecture and could not be stopped despite repeated bans. The prefect was also very distressed. He and the garrison commander went into the mountains together, but failed to eradicate the problem completely. He reported this to the court, which was also in a difficult position.

After he came, he also thought about this matter. The staff in the government office kept advising him that since he had just arrived, he should not provoke those killers.

He felt that the locals should know more about the situation better than he did. Moreover, Panlongling was a place where accidents often happened and it was adjacent to three counties, so it was not something that Yucheng County alone could control.

So he listened to the advice of his subordinates and focused his energy on the problems in various parts of the county. However, he never expected that even with these basic official duties, he would run into obstacles everywhere, and no matter what orders he gave, he could not make any changes.

After a while, he realized where the problem lay.

The problem lies in the fact that the various interests of the big interests in Yucheng are intertwined, and they don't need an "ambitious" county magistrate at all. He thought that he had studied hard for decades and could benefit the people by coming here.

But in the eyes of those people, he, Feng Chen, is nothing!
I can't do things clearly.

One has a bad temper, and one is worse than two.

Yucheng does not welcome officials who are ignorant of the ways of the world.

Feng Chen was depressed for a while, but after that, he still felt that his idea was correct. The emperor asked him to govern Yucheng, and the court asked him to do things. How could he retreat because of this little difficulty?
That is not the way Feng Chen behaves, nor is it the way he serves as an official.

He thought about it for a long time and felt that he might be using the wrong method, so he conducted serious research and took his men to various villages in Yucheng to verify the actual situation. He came back to study it in detail and reorganized the expenditures and income of the Yucheng government over the past few years, hoping to find an idea that would benefit everyone and lead to development.

Unexpectedly, when I took it out, I was still met with a lot of ridicule.

In addition, several major cases occurred in Yucheng afterwards.

He was so busy that he was dizzy.

When he came to his senses, he found that the opinions he had put forward before had not only passed the best time, but had also been distorted and exaggerated by the public.

As a county magistrate, he was looked down upon by the people whenever he went out.

Feng Chen just felt dazed. The way of heaven is clear. Is there still fairness and justice in this world?
The people in the county government also began to pretend to obey and actually acted passively and slack off.

He saw it all and was anxious, but he couldn't say anything or scold.

The county magistrate was extremely incompetent.

More and more people came to beat drums outside the county government office.

Coming in, it was all trivial matters, and the wheels consumed his energy and strength.

Feng Chen finally collapsed from exhaustion. While drinking the medicine, he didn't know how many times he asked himself this question.

He studied so hard, reading so many books by sages, but what was the point?!
In the empty room, no one answered his question.

He held on until he recovered from his illness.

The bandits from Qinglong Village came down the mountain again to cause trouble for him.

Feng Chen really felt a nameless fire rising in his heart.

The feeling that he knew what was going on but was completely powerless tortured him deeply.

A threatening letter doesn't mean anything.

County Magistrate Feng knew what those people meant when they said these words.

Obviously, he was advising him not to worry about those bandits' words. No one knew how many officials had been frightened by those bandits in the mountains.

Even the county magistrate before him, the number of threatening letters he received could be piled up to fuel a fire for heating.

What I said "from the bottom of my heart" is quite an exaggeration.

Feng Chen had to put on a smiling face and ask everyone to contribute their manpower and manpower to help the government defend against bandit attacks on the people.

When he went out, he was young, but no matter how young he was, he could still be heard.

It's just a random bluff, not worth mentioning.

If he doesn't guard against anything, they can attack him whenever they want and scare him whenever they want. Whether it's good or bad is entirely up to them!

Everyone in the government office, from top to bottom, has to live their lives under the watchful eyes of a group of traitors.

Is there any more royal method!
Feng Chen's face turned dark.

My eyes couldn't help but look over the courtyard wall and towards the southwest.

How about... giving it a try?

　Adjust your sleep and plan to start over from the beginning. Thanks to all the readers who have helped me find bugs and make revisions.
