"A few days ago, a foreign official from the south of the city went to the imperial city and proposed to build multiple railways. As the local county magistrate, I will definitely get involved in such a big project. As long as you are willing to participate in the construction, I will falsely report the number of people and apply for Receive double the pay. In this way, won’t you have money?”

"I* your ancestor!"

Brother Wu roared angrily and roughly pushed Magistrate Zhou to the ground.

Immediately, he pressed his neck hard with his knee and raised his voice:

"The only people left alive now are the elderly and children. How cruel are you to let them build the railway?"

Why should we rely on hard work to get things we deserve?

Magistrate Zhou was speechless and could not answer.

He was unable to make up for the deficit of hundreds of thousands of pensions even if he lost everything.

"I...I really don't have any money."

Brother Wu was completely outraged by these words and felt extremely angry.

The force on the knee suddenly became three points heavier:

"Fart! Your young master spends all his time living and drinking, how dare he say he has no money?"

County Magistrate Zhou found it increasingly difficult to breathe and begged for mercy:

"No, get up quickly, I can't breathe."

……

102 play off

Seeing Magistrate Zhou begging for mercy, Xiao Yu'er couldn't bear it:

"Brother Wu, let him get up."

"You don't understand. This kind of dog officer has to endure some hardships before he is willing to pay. Where did you hide the pension? If you hand it over now, you can still live."

There was a big bag covering his head, so the air was already blocked.

Magistrate Zhou is doomed to suffocate if he maintains this state.

Coupled with the knee pressing on the neck, it is simply adding insult to injury.

Out of his survival instinct, he struggled wildly.

This time, Brother Wu was angered:

"Guan Gu, you really want to run away? I tell you, there is no way!"

Like Xiao Yu'er, he is from Haizhou City.

Join those good brothers who have been playing together since childhood and go into battle to kill the enemy.

Unfortunately, the strength gap between the Xia Dynasty navy and the foreigners was too big.

Dozens of warships were beaten and their armor was abandoned.

After Brother Wu fell into the water, he hugged half of the driftwood tightly.

After drifting for a long time, we finally reached the shore and managed to survive.

Out of years of friendship, he took on the responsibility of supporting his brothers' parents.

But there are so many mouths to eat, and Brother Wu can't take care of them alone.

Even if they help farm the land, it will still be a drop in the bucket.

Get up earlier than the chickens and go to bed later than the chickens every day.

Brother Wu's household registration was cancelled, and he couldn't even enter the city.

Magistrate Zhou's struggle at this time aroused the anger in his heart.

The pain and grievances I suffered for more than half a year broke out in an instant!

"I told you to move, I told you to move!"

He aimed at the head and punched him in the face several times.

It wasn't until Magistrate Zhou stopped thrashing that Brother Wu slowly raised his knees.

Xiao Yu'er suddenly felt something was wrong and stepped forward to push the person away.

She pulled open the corner of the bag and put her hand on Magistrate Zhou's nose to test it.

Oops, I'm out of breath.

Xiao Yu'er's expression was complicated, and he was speechless for a moment.

Brother Wu saw this scene and had an ominous premonition in his heart.

He stepped forward to check his breathing, quickly retracted his hand, and explained:

"No, Xiao Yu'er, you saw it too, I...I, I just scared him, who knew he was like this."

Magistrate Zhou is about 50 to [-] years old, and his body functions are definitely incomparable to those of young people.

Brother Wu re-masked himself and took off the bag.

He shook Magistrate Zhou's body in an attempt to revive him:

"Hey, don't scare me, don't pretend to be asleep, get up quickly!"

I pushed and pushed for a long time, but to no avail.

This time, it was completely hopeless.

It rained so heavily that even if it was sent to the doctor, there would be no way to save the day.

If his identity is exposed, more people will be implicated.

Brother Wu collapsed on the ground, his scalp almost scratched.

After a long while, he cast a questioning look at Xiao Yu'er:

"Sister-in-law, what should I do?"

A few minutes ago, I was calling him Xiaoyuer.

It was only when I asked for help that I thought of changing my name.

Xiao Yu'er rolled her eyes at him angrily, a little speechless:

"You ask me, how do I know?"

Brother Wu was still in disbelief and went to check Magistrate Zhou's breathing again.

After confirming that he was not breathing, he said without confidence:

"Sister-in-law, otherwise I will surrender. Please take care of the brothers' families..."

"Don't make noise, let me think about it!"

Xiaoyuer interrupted rudely and paced back and forth in the room.

The death of a court official is no small matter.

If they were traced to Honghuahui, everyone here would be in trouble.

She raised her head and looked at the rain curtain outside the house.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up:

"There is a way, just listen to me."

……

On a rainy night, it has a sleep-promoting effect.

Chen Yufan was at the inn last night and slept very comfortably.

Although he was an official in the court, he did not have the habit of living and drinking.

In the final analysis, it is still because my family is poor and I have no money in my pocket.

If you really don’t have the financial resources, go to romantic places to waste your energy.

When Chen Yufan woke up, it was already sunny outside.

The air in the morning is particularly fresh, and you can vaguely see a rainbow.

After breakfast, he came to the gate of the county government office and faced the guard:

"I have come from the imperial city. I have something important to discuss with the county magistrate. Please convey it on my behalf."

When working at the grassroots level, it is impossible to completely hide your identity.

Chen Yufan planned to contact Magistrate Zhou first to get some information before making plans.

The yamen servant looked at him secretly and shook his head:

"Sorry, the magistrate is not here."

"Where did he go?"

"The County Magistrate... seems to be missing."

"Missing?"

"Yes, he was resting in the study last night, but he disappeared in the morning. After we got the notice, we searched inside and outside the county office several times, but we were surprised not to find him. None of the guards on night shift last night saw him The magistrate is going out. For specific details...you should ask the master over there."

Chen Yufan followed what the other party pointed at and looked back.

Seeing Zhou Zian walking towards this direction with a dejected look on his face.

He took a few steps forward, cupped his hands and said:

"Hello, may I ask you to be the master of the Wanguocheng County Magistrate?"

"Yes, you are..."

Seeing that there were no outsiders within a few meters, Chen Yufan lowered his voice:

"I am here in the name of the emperor to deal with some important matters. Please take me to meet with County Magistrate Zhou."

As he spoke, he showed official documents that could prove his identity.
