Chapter 258
"She really said that?" An old man in plain clothes who looked about fifty years old was squatting in his vegetable garden, holding a small hoe in his hand, digging holes for vegetable seeds.

"Well, that's what she said. My lord, isn't the newly appointed magistrate a little lady? How could he have the guts to say such vaguely threatening words?"

The stall owner scratched his head, seeing that the magistrate had buried the pit, he wanted to pick up the ladle from the bucket next to him to water, but was stopped by the magistrate.

The county magistrate picked up the water ladle himself and poured some water on the new vegetable planting pit, "How could you not have the guts, this newly appointed magistrate is very different from the previous magistrates.

As soon as she arrived in Danyang County yesterday, the county magistrate Zhou immediately took her to the prison, and asked a young man with high martial arts skills to teach Ah Rong and the others severely. Now even the head of the prison cannot enter the prison. The door of the prison was broken by that young man, but Ah Rong and the others dared not break out from inside. "

The stall owner said "Yo" and grinned, "That's a good relationship. Ah Rong and the others always rely on their own fists and kicks to fight fiercely. It's a good thing that someone can stop them."

The county magistrate looked at the stall owner and smiled helplessly, "It sounds like you welcome the new county magistrate very much."

The owner of the stall moved slowly behind the magistrate, "No, I think she beat Ah Rong and the others well."

The county magistrate laughed, and then nodded again and again, "That's the reason, Ah Rong and the others have been too complacent these years, always thinking that with the old man around, they can be lawless, so it's good to learn some lessons.

The only thing the former county magistrate did that satisfied the old man was probably his insistence on sending Arong and the others to prison.The old man has watched Ah Rong and those brats grow up since he was a child, and he is not afraid of them. The old man used the hand of County Magistrate Zhou to teach them a lesson. As a result, these guys eat and drink in the prison, but they are newcomers. The county magistrate is very courageous, and he will fight as soon as he says, without ambiguity at all. "

"However, this new county magistrate has a novel idea. When he took office, he was not in charge of the county's affairs, not angry because of your dismissal, sir, but to go to jail to restrain Ah Rong and the others. Could it be that this is a third-rate family and a top family? The gap between them? The children they teach act very differently." The stall owner was full of doubts.

The vicissitudes of the county magistrate's voice sounded, also with a slight confusion, "This new county magistrate sent her people around the county this morning, and I don't know what he is doing. Not only that, in the nearby county Three miles behind the yamen, there is a mountain, and it is bustling with people coming and going, logging and building houses, someone asked curiously, but did not hide it, saying that it was for the servants brought from home by the county magistrate."

"Servants? The servants who want to cut wood and build houses at the foot of the mountain? So many people? But when they enter the city, the entire team will add up to more carriages. Isn't there a hundred or so people? The Houya can accommodate them. Why do you need to circle a piece of land for resettlement?" The stall owner was puzzled.

The movements of the magistrate's hands paused, his eyes flickered continuously, and after a long while he let out a foul breath, "Perhaps those are not servants, they are parts."

"Part one?" The stall owner was taken aback.

"Well, it is said that only the top elites and first-class families can afford to support the trilogy. I usually work as a servant and farm in the farm. When the master needs it, I can immediately become a hero with a stomach and a knife. A good soldier."

The magistrate of the county magistrate sighed, full of helpless emotion, "Is our place too remote? When it comes to the trilogy of this top-notch family, it is because I have heard people mention it when I was traveling in my early years, but I have never seen it before. "

The owner of the stall clicked his tongue, "It sounds like a trilogy, but it's actually not a private soldier? A family can afford a private soldier."

After all, he looked at the county magistrate with some concern, "My lord, how many songs has this new county magistrate brought? Since she has brought such a force, then you"

The magistrate of the county said "hey", "Looking at the movement, there should be thousands of heads. However, there are only three thousand Haoerlang in our Danyang County who can fight, so we are not afraid of this new county magistrate."

At this point, the county magistrate shook his head again, "These three thousand sons are our cornerstone and future, and they cannot be used to fight the new county magistrate. Let's wait a few days and see what the new county magistrate wants. What are you doing, if you can really make Danyang County better as that little man said, it doesn't matter if the old man bows his head."

"Boss." The stall owner looked moved.

The county magistrate waved his hand and interrupted him, "Every time I am full of expectations for the new magistrate, but unfortunately I am disappointed every time. I am old and have carried the burden on my shoulders for decades. I'm tired too, if I can meet the Ming Lord, I can only feel relieved, there is no grievance or grievance, in order to make the people of Danyang County live a better life, what grievance can't be tolerated?"

Looking at the weathered face of the old man, the stall owner's throat choked up. For some reason, he began to look forward to the new county magistrate being a person with real skills.

As night approached, the Houya first entered the main courtyard, and it was full of people again.

Everyone talked about today's achievements one after another. Jiang Yuanxi listened with a smile. Seeing that everyone was full of energy, a warm current flowed through his heart.

After talking in a hurry, when Ah Fang passed on the meal, everyone's conversation was still alive, and Jiang Bojin asked curiously: "Wu Niang, didn't you say that you went out to investigate and secretly visit the county magistrate today? What is the result?" ?”

Hearing Jiang Bojin's question, the others also turned their attention to Jiang Yuanxi.

"Well, I know a little bit about the character of this magistrate." Jiang Yuanxi said slowly, which attracted the urging of others.

"This magistrate is highly respected by the people of Danyang County."

The first sentence at the beginning made many people look at each other in blank dismay, "I am very respected by the people? Could it be that he is still a good official?"

"This is different from what Magistrate Zhou said." Jiang Bojin raised his eyebrows.

According to Zhou County Magistrate, the county magistrate is a guy who likes to fight for power and profit. He doesn't give him any face and controls the real power of the entire county government, making Zhou County Magistrate a puppet to deal with the court.

Listening to Zhou County Magistrate's words, the image of a person who is addicted to power and harms the people is outlined in everyone's minds.

A moment of silence.

"Perhaps what County Magistrate Zhou said is true. He is indeed a puppet put on the surface by the county magistrate. It is also true that the people respect the magistrate. After all, I can still distinguish their admiration from the bottom of their hearts."

Jiang Yuanxi said, "As for the future. If the magistrate is sincerely thinking about the common people, we will definitely get along happily. If not... we can only let him be a puppet."
