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

Chapter 394 Various Rumors
Xiong Jiushan said: "That's what I meant. Please lead the way."

The two of them walked into the county government office together.

Xiong Jiushan only went in to pay his respects and say goodbye so as not to delay the progress of the exile team. Behind the crowd of onlookers on all sides, there were a few people whispering to each other, muttering a few words with shifty eyes, and then dispersed in three directions.

After closing the door behind him, Cao Qi looked back and changed his attitude. He said respectfully, "Please Sir Xiong, please follow me quickly."

Xiong Jiushan understood, nodded, quickened his pace, and followed Cao Qi to see the sick magistrate Feng Chen.

"Cough-cough-"

Before anyone entered the house, a heavy cough was heard.

"Your health is very important, so don't try to hold on. Go to bed and rest."

"It doesn't matter."

Just as he finished speaking, he saw Cao Qi bringing Xiong Jiushan in to say goodbye.

"Master Xiong has official business to attend to, so there is no need to be polite. Please take a seat."

While the adults were talking, Lu Hongwen simply packed up his medicine box and left the room with Cao Qi.

Xiong Jiushan and Feng Chen were the only ones left in the room. Feng Chen first took a look at his face and had an idea in his mind.

"It seems that Lord Xiong and General Xie have made up their minds, right?"

"Thanks to you, sir."

Feng Chen waved his hands while wearing a thick coat, "I, Feng Chen, am not worth mentioning. But Lord Xiong is willing to lend me troops to help me suppress the bandits this time. I don't know how to thank him."

Xiong Jiushan said a few polite words to me, knowing that Feng Chen asked Cao Qi to wait for him outside today, and he definitely didn't want to invite him in to have a casual chat.

Feng Chen said a few words and really expressed his thoughts directly.

A sick body is already painful to look at, let alone a sick person like Feng Chen.

For a moment, Xiong Jiushan really admired this young county magistrate.

"Your Excellency, if you have anything to say, feel free to speak up."

Feng Chen took a sip of water and said happily after hearing what he said, "Then I'll speak frankly."

"My lord, please."

In less than an incense stick of time, the people waiting outside the Yucheng County Government Office saw the bailiff Cao Qi personally escorting the escort from the capital out of the gate of the county government office.

"After staying in there for such a while, it shouldn't be a big deal, right?"

"No matter how big or small it is, hurry up and report to the master."

Not long after, Xiong Jiushan caught up with the exile team on horseback. When passing by Xie Yuchuan, he looked down at him, nodded, and rushed to the front.

Xie Yuchuan squinted at Xiong Jiushan's back, thought for a moment, then looked up and continued on his way.

Yucheng was very lively today because of the ice on the Erjiang River. The people of Yucheng, who had not seen such a strange thing for a long time, ran out of their homes to watch the fun.

The people who had gone out to watch the excitement early in the morning came back from outside the city one after another at noon.

Not only did they come back as people, they also brought back all the excitement and interesting stories from the outside world.

Because they had never seen such a scene before, everyone described the Erjiang River as particularly magical. Sometimes they said it was God appearing, sometimes it was God being angry, and then again, it was the river god who lost his temper.

It's only been a short while and all sorts of news have been spread.

When the news spread that Feng Chen, the magistrate of Yucheng, had fallen ill after praying for the people, the story became even more bizarre.

The exiled prisoners have been locked up in the inn for the past two days. Without the officials’ summons, they have no idea where to go.

Walking all the way out of the city, all I could hear along the way were the people talking, and they were all listening attentively.

It turned out that such a big thing happened outside today, but they had no idea. Gradually, many people remembered that a river outside the city suddenly froze overnight.

Frozen overnight?
Omg!

Which god has appeared here?

suddenly.

Many of the prisoners in the exile team cautiously and secretly glanced at the Xie family members in the team.

Ever since the accident at Wulibao, many exiles in the team had secretly known about the matter of the Xie family's deity.

Especially the fugitives who were injured but recovered thanks to the miraculous medicine and care of the Xie family, they had already accepted in their hearts that the god that the Xie family had been worshipping for more than a hundred years must exist!
Some fugitives even tried very hard to ask others about matters concerning the Xie family's gods.

Many people even kowtow to the air and express silent gratitude before going to bed every night.

Now, I heard that a big river outside the city could freeze overnight.

There is nothing more to say. Only gods can do such magical things.

immortal?

There is one behind the Xie family.

It is very strange to say, a group of escorted convicts, no one knew what kind of mentality they were in, but they actually felt an inexplicable sense of pride in their hearts just because the Xie family, who were protected by the gods, were also in their group of convicts.

Some people were whispering as they walked.

The big river outside the city might have been frozen by the god of Xie family.

But, wasn’t it said that the Yucheng County Magistrate was praying for the people?

A fugitive whispered to everyone, don't forget, yesterday the magistrate of Yucheng County asked us to escort Lord Xiong to the county government office.

Yes, after the lord came back, I heard that he called General Xie to the room for questioning again. I don’t know if it is related to this matter?

For a moment, I didn’t know which strange thread had connected the prisoners.

Gradually, everyone began to think that the incident of the frozen rivers outside the city had become another version of the story.

The magistrate of Yucheng must have learned from somewhere that among this batch of exiled prisoners there were members of the Xie family, and that the gods they worshipped were real. So for the safety of the people of Yucheng, the magistrate prayed for a long time in vain, so he found Lord Xiong and asked him to help ask the Xie family for help.

The gods behind the Xie family might have been moved by the Yucheng County Magistrate's sincere desire to serve the people, so they helped.

Just like what was posted on the county government office, there had been a severe disaster in Yucheng, but only the local officials were to blame for it.

So, whether it was the people of Yucheng returning home or the exiles leaving the city.

When they missed each other, they actually saw pride and admiration in each other's eyes.

This is very weird.

The people of Yucheng had just seen a strange thing today, and when they went out they saw a group of rarely seen exiles, which made them feel even more surprised.

In particular, some of the exiles even puffed out their chests and said to them: "You people in Yucheng are so lucky! You actually have such a good official! I would rather shorten my own life than pray for you!"

People in Yucheng: "..."

what's the situation?
Not long after, County Magistrate Feng Chen, who was still struggling with the doctor, heard the rumors outside.

His whole face looked bad.

What do you mean he shortened his life and invited gods? !
Besides, which god did he invite?

The confused County Magistrate Feng did not notice that just when he was looking pale and about to die.

An invisible figure appeared beside him at someone's request.
