Chapter 470: Assassination (1)
At the Huailai County Yamen, Cheng Rong and Baoshang, who were furious, rushed all the way to the office lobby with swords in hand. At this time, a strange smell of alcohol blew into Cheng Rong's nose along the north wind.

"Call your county magistrate, we've been waiting here for more than an hour, why haven't you been promoted?" the bloody Baoshang shouted loudly at the trembling Zhu Hu.

"Who is it? Shouting in front of the official's door." At this time, only muffled yawning sounds came from the back hall, a drunken middle-aged man in disheveled official uniform, He wobbled out.

"My lord, he is the master of our Huailai County, called Fangcai." Zhu Hu hurriedly bowed to Cheng Rong and Baoshang as if to please.

"In my opinion, there is no need to be more polite. Zhu Hu, tell you Mr. Fang immediately, and quickly open a warehouse to release food and rescue the victims!" Cheng Rong sneered and instructed Zhu Hu.

"Hey, isn't this Dr. Cheng? I haven't seen you for so many years, you are really getting more and more energetic!" The drunk just saw Cheng Rong's true identity at a glance, and hurriedly cupped his hands in greeting.

Cheng Rong took a closer look, only to find that this county magistrate named Fang Cai was actually the cousin of Duke Hua Fang Jin. When he was an official together in the court, he had met him a few times. He couldn't help laughing and said: "Lord Fang , I really didn't expect that since you were transferred from the capital, until now, you have become what you are now?"

"Why, Brother Cheng doesn't like me? Let's be honest, we'll take up this position as a small sesame official for no more than three days." Fang Cai said with a sudden smile.

"Oh? What about the former magistrate?" Cheng Rong asked strangely. "Predecessor? I was escorted to the capital by my people a long time ago. I even wrote the impeachment memorial properly. It must be before the king's court case by now." Fang Cai laughed loudly.

"Just now, although I only met you once, I understand you. Although you belong to the same clan as Hua Guogong, your temperament and behavior are completely different. You are a person of accomplishment, but why are you so drunk here?" Cheng Rong cupped his hands.

"So what if you're not as drunk as mud, Mr. Cheng, haven't you seen it? The land is barren, the local officials extort taxes, exploit the people, and report to the court, but they report good news and not bad news. What else is there in this place besides wine?" Fang smiled wryly. road.

"In addition to the wine, there is also a responsibility, Brother Fang Xian, maybe you were sent to this barren place by the court, which probably means exile, but you have the seal of appointment from the court on your hand, this seal, more or less OK Do something, get up, and open a warehouse with me to release food!" Cheng Rong encouraged.

"Okay! It's Brother Cheng's righteousness, let's go. Although there are only some old millet in the granary, it is more than enough to relieve the victims!" Encouraged by Cheng Rong, Fangcai quickly became excited and took Cheng Rong and Baoshang directly. He built granaries, gathered the people, and distributed grain.

The number of people who came to receive food on this day exceeded ten thousand!Facing the crowd who were waiting for their breasts, Cheng Rong jumped onto a big rock and announced openly: "Fathers and folks, as long as you return to Huailai County to settle down, the government will distribute food every day, and the fields can be evenly distributed."

There were bursts of deafening cheers from the crowd.

"It's the other way around! This Cheng Rong, unexpectedly implemented the new policy in a barren county on the border within a few days. The place that was originally sparsely populated has become lively and prosperous in less than half a month, especially this Cheng Rong. At the same time as it was raining, he was pulling his cousin’s cousin to make a shield. Look, if he continues to do this, the administrative power of the border will fall into the hands of the reformers!” The royal driving team stationed in Baoji Er, the urgent report from the border was suddenly handed to Fang Jin, Duke of Hua. Fang Jin just glanced at it, and immediately flew into a rage, and went straight to the residence of the cabinet minister Lu Kai.
