Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

Ao Chen was silent for a moment, then said, "Let's not worry about him for now. Those things have nothing to do with us. How did you get into the farm, and how did you escape? Also, what did you mean just now when you said the farm was actually a murder plot?"

"First, get me a bowl of water!"

Ao Chen quickly poured him a cup of tea and waited quietly for him to finish drinking.

After drinking the tea, Feng Ya felt much better: "I say, how come there are so many toll stations outside the county when I came back! I'm lucky I have money, otherwise I wouldn't be able to get home. Are we just robbing people openly now?"

"It's just that the master can't stand poor people. Get to the point, get to the point!" Ao Chen poured him another cup of tea.

Feng Ya took another sip before slowly starting to speak: "Well, when I first entered the Wang residence, I was originally tending flowers and plants in the backyard. After a while, perhaps the farm was short of manpower, so they transferred me to the farm."

"The management in this farm is extremely strict. Except for necessary purchases, no one can leave the farm. It's normal that the master couldn't find me."

"Then how did you get out?" Ao Chen asked.

Feng Ya smiled triumphantly: "Heh, the farm is full of my people now! I can go in and out whenever I want!"

"What?" Ao Chen was shocked: "You turned them against him?"

Feng Ya waved his hand: "Not quite. I just gambled with them a few times. They all owe me money."

"The few people in charge of purchasing, I initially used their gambling debts to get them to take me into the city. After entering the city, I took them to make a fortune and met some new friends at the casino."

"How is that possible? Everyone owes you money. Aren't you afraid they'll join forces and sell you out?"

Feng Ya sneered: "Heh, a bunch of farmers. They wouldn't dare. I gave their gambling debts to my friends at the casino."

"If something happens to me, none of them can escape. Moreover, the purchasing guys have made a fortune, and the others are waiting for me to help them turn their lives around."

"Is it that simple? How could everyone gamble with you?" Ao Chen asked, puzzled.

"There are only two kinds of people in this world: gamblers, and those who haven't really gambled! Of course, there are skills involved. You wouldn't understand even if I told you," Feng Ya said smugly, taking another sip of tea.

Ao Chen said with admiration: "Okay, with your skills, you won't have to worry about food anywhere you go."

"That's right!"

"Continue."

"Wu Wang occasionally came to the farm to inspect. The last time I saw him, I noticed something was wrong with him." Feng Ya's expression was somewhat disdainful: "He patrolled the fields twice, seemingly calm, but actually very flustered, like... a gambling dog preparing to run away, hahaha."

"So, the day after he left, I ran away under the guise of purchasing. But since the farm was missing someone for no reason, there would definitely be a strict investigation, so I stayed with my friends in the capital's casino until yesterday when the farm was on fire. I came back when I saw things were stable."

"As expected, the gambling dog ran away to destroy the evidence. If there are no accidents, Wu Wang should have already left the capital."

Ao Chen said in disbelief: "Just because you thought his expression was wrong?"

"Don't doubt me. I've seen a lot of people like that!" Feng Ya snorted coldly: "He won't achieve great things."

"That's the whole story. It has nothing to do with us, so let's not worry about it! By the way, I haven't been back for so long, how's my casino doing?"

"The casino is doing fine, but the people from the Firearm Institute have had two lawsuits with you."

As soon as Feng Ya heard this, he jumped up and shouted: "The Firearm Institute is back at the casino again! Aren't they not allowed in!"

Ao Chen glared at him and said: "We're open for business. Why shouldn't we let people in? You've already been fined for the casino."

"Damn it! Those bastards go to the casino, one person plays cards and a dozen people calculate behind them. Are they going to gamble? They're just taking money from my place!"

"I told the master about this, and he agreed! Why are you still letting them in! Where's the master?"

"The master is away on official business, not in the county." Ao Chen smiled awkwardly. He really didn't know about this.

But it's not a big deal. The people from the Firearm Institute will still go whoring. Anyway, the county earns money and spends it in the county. Don't even think about taking a penny home!

"I'm not talking to you anymore. Remember to properly arrange those seeds. I have to go to the casino!" After speaking, Feng Ya ran away anxiously.

.........

Outside Peach Blossom County.

The soldiers on duty were chatting.

This could be said to be the easiest job in the county, but it wasn't very popular, because it was too boring and they didn't dare to skim any money.

Usually, nothing happened, only occasionally wealthy merchants would enter the city.

So, in order to prevent the guards from being lazy, soldiers from all over the county were on duty at the city gate in shifts.

While chatting, a soldier suddenly looked at the people coming from afar and nudged the captain beside him: "Brother, something's not right."

"Look, why are there a dozen poor ghosts coming? They're dressed so poorly, how dare they enter our county?"

The captain guarding the city narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance, muttering: "Something is a little off. There seem to be people behind them. They're not coming in to freeload, are they?"

"You guard here, don't let them in first. I'll go up to the city tower and take a look."

After speaking, the captain ran back into the city in a puff of smoke and went up to the city tower.

The guards on the city tower greeted him as soon as they saw him: "Captain Liu, why are you here?"

"The situation below is not quite right. Get the telescope and take a look!"

"So cautious, Captain Liu."

"The year-end performance assessment is coming up, and bonuses are being given out, so it's better to be cautious!"

Upon hearing this, the city tower guard picked up the telescope and looked into the distance, frowning: "Hmm! ? Why are there so many poor ghosts coming? Are they trying to get into the city to freeload!"

Captain Liu also borrowed a telescope from someone and looked into the distance: "Hey... there are more behind, in twos and threes, something's not right! These people are dressed like farmers, but their gait is wrong and their backs are too straight."

The guard on the side interjected: "And there are too many of them. I estimate there are nearly a hundred people. There should be more behind... Their hands are unconsciously touching their waists, they might have weapons."

Captain Liu's expression suddenly became serious: "Something's wrong, quickly notify more brothers to gather below! You guys hide in the city first, and come out if there's a conflict."

The city gate soldiers also put away their relaxed expressions and nodded seriously: "Should we notify Head Constable Zhang?"

"No need, there are only so many people. Aren't there still twenty repeating crossbows in the city tower? Bring enough repeating crossbows and arrow cases, that's enough to deal with them!"

After speaking, Captain Liu hurriedly ran down the city tower.

Outside the city, Xiao Liu, leading several people, finally arrived at the foot of Peach Blossom County after passing through four toll stations.

Looking at the gold-swallowing city in front of them, Xiao Liu and his group couldn't help but burst into tears.

They had never been slaughtered like this in their lives!

But luckily, they had arrived, finally arrived!

When the chiliarch arrives, we will start a massacre and rob them all!!!
