After the immortal disappeared

Another person laughed and said, "You are lucky. If it were a year ago, he would have wanted to take your life and your money, and he would have been even more ruthless than these two guards."

Fan Shuang didn't believe it at all, so she winked at her parents and urged them to go back to the house. At this time, other people in the inn were also alarmed, and several of them ran out barefoot. The shopkeeper also went upstairs, and the dark and thin man showed his identity, and it turned out that he was a member of the Black Armor Army!

"Oh, you, you are a Black Armored Soldier. We are saved!" The shopkeeper's eyes lit up. "I am so disrespectful this afternoon. My nephew is so rude! You... where are the other soldiers? I will invite you all to stay for free!"

"No need." The dark and thin man smiled, "There is a place for us to stay in the county."

Then everything was fine. Someone would take care of the bodies upstairs. Fan Shuang noticed that the pockets of the two guards were searched clean, not a single penny was left.

So professional.

Fan Shuang invited these men downstairs and thanked them with good wine and food.

They all declined, saying they had missions to complete and could not stay, and then left in a hurry.

Madam Wang was surprised, "They all have missions, but they stayed in this inn until midnight?"

The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Fan Shuang's mind was moved. Were they monitoring him just now? Otherwise, how could they have discovered that the two guards were bullying their master and committing a crime in the first place?

At this time, the patrol arrived, took the Fan family back for questioning, and took the guard who bullied his master to jail.

Mian City was also captured by the Black Armor Army a month or so ago, but judging from the efficiency of the patrol officers, the local team that took office not long ago is running well.

Fan Shuang had the Silver and Wooden Order in his hand, which was more useful than the title of King of Heaven. The county magistrate of Huang treated him with great respect. When he heard that Fan Shuang had failed in his attempt to join his friends in his hometown and had nowhere to go, he invited Fan and his son to stay in Miancheng and work for the government.

In the Jinjin Plains, less than two out of a hundred civilians can read, and just knowing how to read is not enough to be a cultured person. Fan's father used to work in the Yaoting Experience Department, and Fan Shuang also served as a foreign envoy. He is proficient in writing and arithmetic, and is indeed the talent needed by the local government.

The father and son discussed it and decided that there was no better place to go, so they agreed.

It was rare to get a decent job in troubled times and have official support. Even if Lu Shuheng hadn't died, the three members of the Fan family would have received the same treatment at best if they had gone to Huancheng.

They settled down in Miancheng and did accounting and bookkeeping work for the government.

As for the Fan family's savior, especially the dark and thin man, Fan Shuang had met him several times and even dealt with him when he was working in the government office.

This man's name is Tu Shanfang. He is from Xike in the western part of Shanjin. He took the initiative to join the Wuwei Guard a year and a half ago. Then, because of his bravery in combat, he was promoted to the Black Armor Army!

Tu Shanfang spoke and acted with a rough and ruthless spirit, but he was a man of character. After becoming acquainted with Fan Shuang, he often asked about the deeds of Emperor Jiuyou in Yao Kingdom, and his words showed his infinite admiration for him.

"As long as I can stay with the emperor for three months, I'd be willing to sacrifice ten years of my life!"

Passed. Fan Shuang thought, passed.

"You are a Yao person, you don't understand." Tu Shanfang saw his thoughts, "Not only me, my brothers think so too. Without the emperor, there would be no us today."

"Have you ever seen the Emperor?"

"Twice, one far and one near." That's why he asked Fan Shuang what the emperor looked like.

Fan Shuang had also become familiar with him, and was no longer as reserved as she was at the beginning, so she asked him, "I am a Yao person, how dare you use me? Aren't you afraid that I am a spy sent by Guo Baiyu?"

"How could a spy be so stupid as to reveal his hometown as soon as he entered the inn?" Tu Shanfang said with a smile, "Besides, we have also carefully interrogated the guard Qian Ziwei who attacked you that night, and he has confirmed your experience and identity."

This family is indeed a group of impoverished nobles who fled from the countryside of Yao State, not spies. Otherwise, how could the Miancheng government dare to use this father and son to do things?

Fan Shuang was silent for a while: "So, you were indeed monitoring me in the guesthouse that night?"

Tu Shanfang laughed and said, "It's better to be careful."

Looking at Tu Shanfang's eyes, Fan Shuang knew that if she was really a spy, her end would probably be very miserable.

Time flies, and ten days have passed in the blink of an eye.

The Fan family also temporarily settled down in this small town, where they received official courtesy, had friendly neighbors, and the public security was much better than in the countryside of Yao State.

Just thinking of my homeland always makes me sad. They were originally Yao people, who fled their homeland and took shelter under the Dragon God, and they actually thought that life was good.

Fate really plays a joke on them.

When the family of three was chatting, Mrs. Wang said, "I thought that the Golden Plains were full of poverty and bandits, but I didn't expect that Miancheng is quite stable. There are people to manage the law and order, restaurants and markets are open as usual, and the prices of rice, flour and meat are quite stable."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

She noticed that the city had an indescribable vitality, just like a stiff insect that had been dormant for a winter and suddenly woke up and became active during the Waking of Insects.

Fan Shuang said, "That's because the people of Miancheng have a lot of work to do."

Mrs. Wang asked curiously, "What big job?"

"The official road from Miancheng to Wuzhou is in a dilapidated state, and was blocked by a landslide three years ago. After the new county governor took office, he announced that this section of the official road would be rebuilt, and it would be widened while clearing the blockage. In addition, the official roads and township roads from Miancheng to Yuncheng, Baixiang and other four places will also be built one by one." Fan Shuang counted on her fingers, "Quarrying, logging, sand extraction, smelting, transportation, leveling, paving, which one does not require labor? As long as you have healthy limbs and are not too old to walk, you can find work, and there is no end to the work."

If there is work to do, you can get paid and have food to eat.

Madam Wang frowned, "I remember the old road from Tianshui City to Youhu Lake, which was the old road before He Xiao developed Youhu Cottage. But it took four or five years to repair it."

"That was built by conscripted laborers. Besides, you know how efficient the Tianshui City government is and how efficient the industry run by He Xiao is. How can you compare them?"

Mrs. Wang had no choice but to answer honestly: "That can't be possible."

Father Fan said without even looking up: "The royal court has allocated one thousand taels of money for repairs, and at most one hundred taels will be left after all the efforts are made."

He Xiao was in charge of Youhu Cottage and assisted in the management of Tianshui New City. His efficiency really stunned all the upper-class nobles of Yao Kingdom.

"It's still quite new that the county doesn't recruit people to build roads, but only hires people," said Father Fan. "I heard from County Magistrate Li that this is the case in all the areas taken over by the Dragon God. Each city and county has at least one or two big projects, all of which are road construction. In some places, river embankments and dams need to be built, so they are desperately recruiting people and working very hard. The construction period is at least two years."
