The Golden County Magistrate

There is an open space in the backyard of the Qingshan County government office, which has now been transformed into a small vegetable garden by Chen Yan.

The garden is not big, but Chen Yan cherishes it very much.

Especially after the beginning of spring this year, Chen Yan also sent someone to take care of it.

At this time, Chen Yan came to the vegetable garden again.

Looking at the vegetable seedlings that have grown more than a foot high in the field, his face is full of joy.

"Sir, are you so happy?"

Lu Qing'er took a washbasin and held it in front of Chen Yan, indicating Chen Yan to wash his hands.

While washing his hands, Chen Yan smiled and said, "You don't know, this is a good thing."

Lu Qing'er has heard Chen Yan say it countless times, but Chen Yan has never made it clear what is good about it.

"What's good about it?"

Lu Qing'er pouted.

"Only nine people returned from the fleet of hundreds of people of the third brother, and these nine people are all in poor health."

The third brother mentioned by Lu Qing'er is her biological brother.

Before meeting Chen Yan, Lu Qing'er's family lived a very hard life.

When Lu Qing'er was very young, most of her family members died, leaving only Lu Qing'er and her third brother.

Chen Yan heard from Lu Qing'er that the reason why Lu San went to sea was because a group of merchants came to Qingshan County to recruit workers, and each person was paid ten taels of silver for three years.

Normally, a strong laborer would need at least five years to earn ten taels of silver.

At that time, Qingshan County was located in a remote area, and it was not possible to earn ten taels of silver in five years.

Lu San thought it was an opportunity and agreed.

Since Lu San went to sea with the merchants, there has been no news.

Lu Qing'er thought her brother was dead.

But just half a year ago, Lu San suddenly came back, so thin that he was no longer human, but he only brought back some strange food that Da Zhou had never seen.

Although Chen Yan told Lu Qing'er that Lu San brought back all treasures.

But as a sister, Lu Qing'er still felt it was not worth it.

Chen Yan comforted him, "Yesterday I asked Mr. Qi, your third brother is recovering well and there is no major problem. He can be brought back in a month or so."

Because he was too weak, Chen Yan arranged Lu San to stay in the medicine house in Qiyun Mountain so that Qiyun Mountain could take care of him at any time.

In the past six months, Lu San has recovered more than half of his health.

"Besides, don't worry, your third brother's trip will not be in vain. He brought back so many good things, I will not treat him unfairly." Chen Yan smiled faintly.

Lu Qing'er murmured, "As long as the third brother is fine, I don't ask for anything else."

Chen Yan gently patted Lu Qing'er's little head, "Don't worry, it won't be long before I fight for a title for your third brother, because that is what he deserves."

Lu Qing'er widened her eyes and opened her mouth slightly, a little bit unbelievable.

Title?

Just because of his third brother?

Just when Lu Qing'er was about to say something, she heard hurried footsteps coming from outside.

"Mr. County Magistrate, Mr. County Magistrate."

Chen Yan rolled his eyes. He knew who the voice was as soon as he heard it.

Not many people can enter the courtyard where Chen Yan lives in the back house of Qingshan County at will. Among the people in the Qingshan County government, besides Zheng Yan, there is Zhang Dabiao.

"Here!" Chen Yan shouted.

After a while, Zhang Dabiao came over following the sound, "Sir, are you taking care of the garden again?"

Chen Yan ignored him and asked, "Why are you here in the county government instead of staying in the military camp?"

Zhang Dabiao said, "Sir, there is something good."

Chen Yan was stunned, and then glared at Zhang Dabiao, "What good thing can you have?"

Zhang Dabiao smiled honestly, "Hehe, the guards of Zhou's Chamber of Commerce broke into our military camp and were caught by me."

Chen Yan was stunned, and then kicked Zhang Dabiao directly, "What good thing is this?"

Zhang Dabiao said, "Sir, haven't you been negotiating business with Zhou's Chamber of Commerce recently? Now that their people are in our hands, can't you take advantage of them when negotiating business?"

Chen Yan understood that Zhang Dabiao was thinking of using this as a bargaining chip.

"You are such a cunning guy, but you can't use your tricks in the right place."

Zhang Dabiao murmured, "Am I wrong?"

Chen Yan said unhappily, "The business has been negotiated. There is nothing to talk about now. What's the point of arresting him?"

Zhang Dabiao was stunned, "It has been negotiated? Oh, that person was arrested in vain."

Chen Yan pondered for a moment, "But why did the people from Zhou's Chamber of Commerce enter our military camp?"

Zhang Dabiao said, "Probably out of curiosity."

Chen Yan thought for a while, "No matter what, Miss Zhou has to give this county an explanation for this matter."

Zhang Dabiao agreed, "Well, it should be. Your Excellency must not let them off easily."

Chen Yan was really helpless. Zhang Dabiao thought that our little county magistrate was still the king of the world.

Not let them off easily?

That girl surnamed Zhou, even the Duke of the State was polite to her. Most likely she was the daughter of a marquis or a Duke of the State in the court,It is not someone that Qingshan County can afford to offend.

"Let's go!"

Chen Yan ordered, and walked towards the next courtyard first, followed by Zhang Dabiao.

There were already two female guards guarding the door of the next courtyard.

Seeing that it was Chen Yan, the two did not stop him and let him in directly.

Tang Yun had already ordered that if Chen Yan or Xun Yufei and He Jinyao came, there was no need to inform them.

After entering the courtyard, a female guard went in and informed them.

Not long after, she came out and welcomed Chen Yan and Zhang Dabiao into the room.

At this time, Tang Yun was actually processing the memorial that had just been sent from Luocheng. When she heard that Chen Yan was coming, she covered the memorial.

Seeing that Chen Yan was followed by a soldier, Tang Yun couldn't help but frown slightly.

"What does County Magistrate Chen want to see me about?"

Chen Yan got straight to the point. "It's fine that Miss Zhou sent people to investigate everywhere in Qingshan County, but why did she break into the camp of Qingshan County's Nafu Camp without reason? Don't you know that trespassing into a military camp is against the law?"

In fact, the reason why Chen Yan had to come to Tang Yun to ask for an explanation was that he had some revenge in mind.

It seems that he didn't get any advantage in the past few days of discussing cooperation with Zhou's Chamber of Commerce, at least Chen Yan thought so, which made Chen Yan very unhappy.

This Miss Zhou is too strong.

Now that there is a chance to kill Miss Zhou's prestige, Chen Yan will naturally not let it go.

As soon as Tang Yun heard it, she understood what was going on.

But she was still a little surprised in her heart.

The other abilities of Fenglingwei are questionable, but if it comes to the ability to secretly investigate intelligence, it is still good.

Not to mention a mere Nafu Camp, even the most elite army of the Great Zhou, the intelligence spies of Fenglingwei can enter and exit at will without being discovered.

Could it be that the Nafu Camp of Qingshan County really has the capabilities of a special forces unit as Xun Yufei said?

For a moment, Tang Yun's curiosity about the Nafu Camp of Qingshan County became even stronger.

Thinking this way, Tang Yun did not show it, but asked, "My people?"

Chen Yan tilted his head towards Zhang Dabiao, meaning that Zhang Dabiao should tell the whole story.

However, after staring for a long time, Zhang Dabiao did not speak.

Chen Yan turned his head and saw that Zhang Dabiao's eyes were staring straight.

"Speak." Chen Yan gently kicked Zhang Dabiao, "Don't embarrass me."

Tang Yun spoke lightly, with a slightly mocking tone: "Could it be that this is the soldier of Qingshan County?"
