The originally dry fields have turned into paddy fields.
The dry rivers have also returned to their previous flow.
Everything seems to be back on track.
But on the second day after the heavy rain stopped, the victims sent by Liuhe County to plant in other counties encountered obstacles.
In the Liuhe County government office, Su Cheng was preparing to go down to inspect the growth of the seedlings.
Suddenly, there were rapid footsteps outside the hall.
"Sir, it's not good!" He Captou said with an anxious voice.
Su Cheng did not panic. Instead, he turned around and said, "Don't worry, tell me slowly. Did the victims we sent to plant the rice seedlings encounter obstacles?"
"Sir, you...you know everything?" He Captou was a little stunned.
Could it be that the county magistrate has already received the news?
Su Cheng shook his head and chuckled: "You don't need to think about this kind of thing to know. If I were another county magistrate, I wouldn't want to suffer this loss. I even want to take the fields back."
"Tell me, what's the specific situation?"
"My lord, it is clear to me that they did prevent our people from planting rice seedlings, but there was no conflict."
He Captou looked lucky. If a conflict broke out soon, the victims would definitely suffer.
Fortunately, the other party was quite measured. They just stopped the victims from planting rice seedlings.
Of course, the victims did not dare to argue with the officials, so they could only report it to Su Cheng.
Su Cheng chuckled lightly: "It seems that these county magistrates are not willing to give in. Maybe they are already on their way to our Liuhe County now."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a quarrel outside.
"How dare you stop this county!"
"Hmph, even if you, Mr. Su, are here, you wouldn't dare to be so rude, why don't you get out of the way quickly!"
"You are so brave. Do you really think this county can't do anything to you?"
"If you don't get out of the way, this county will order us to rush in!"
The noise was heard, and a government official hurriedly came to report: "Mr. Su, ten county magistrates are coming together from outside. The younger ones can't stop them. They are about to break in!"
Su Cheng narrowed his eyes.
Came so fast!
But it makes sense to think about it. If this matter is not solved quickly, the victims below him may have to finish planting the fields in Liuhe County.
Once all the fields in Liuhe County are transplanted, all that's left is to plant the rented fields.
By then, it will be difficult for these people to take back their fields.
After all, the seedlings have been planted, so they can’t be pulled out, right?
At this time, the ten county magistrates were of course anxious.
He was so anxious that he didn’t even want to report it, but just barged into the Liuhe County Government Office!
"Let's go and have a look!"
Su Cheng looked indifferent and took the lead to walk towards the gate of the county government office.
Before he even got close, Su Cheng heard the shouts of the county magistrates at the door, and they all wanted to rush in immediately.
Even the government officials at the door were pushed away by the somewhat powerful county magistrate.
Xincheng County Magistrate Liu Guoan at the front even rushed in.
"Haha, it seems that several county magistrates came uninvited and want to take action in my Liuhe County."
Su Cheng's eyes were like eagles, staring closely at these county magistrates.
I have made up my mind that I must give the other party a decisive blow!
"Hey, Mr. Su came just in time, we are just looking for you!"
"Yes, you actually plotted against us and obtained our fields. How shameless!"
"That's right, the reason why I came here this time is to exchange for the fields."
"We don't want your food anymore, please give us back the fields."
This group of people had already discussed this before coming here.
A breach of contract!
Even as they were talking, these county magistrates had already surrounded Su Cheng.
He looked like he wouldn't let Su Cheng leave unless Su Cheng agreed.
Liu Guoan looked at Su Cheng being surrounded, with a proud look on his lips.
You, Su Cheng, still want to use your little cleverness in front of them?
Hum, if so many county magistrates come together, I'm not afraid that Su Cheng won't agree.
This time, it depends on how you respond.
However, just when Liu Guoan was proud, Su Cheng's face darkened and he sneered:
"It turns out that you gentlemen came to my county government office to talk about something, not to cause trouble."
"In that case, please hand in your greeting card and let someone inform you."
After saying that, Su Cheng turned around and walked towards the hall.
This scene made all the county magistrates stunned.
Liu Guoan's face changed with anger.
Arrogant!
How arrogant!
In front of so many county magistrates, Su Cheng actually asked them to visit him again!
This is a naked insult!
"Master Su!"
"You neglect us so much, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to live in peace with us in the future?"
Liu Guoan stared at Su Cheng's leaving figure and said harshly.
Su Cheng didn't look back: "Haha, live in peace?"
"Looking at the attitude of all of you, you probably don't want to live in peace with this county, right?"
"This is the county government office, which represents the authority of the imperial court. If you trespass on the county government office without permission, the county will see who can take on this responsibility."
"If this county remembers it correctly, our law stipulates that anyone who breaks into the county government office without permission will be cut in half!"
"My lords, if you know the law and break the law, you may be punished with an additional level of crime. Not only will you be cut in half, but you may also have your entire family beheaded!"
While talking, Su Cheng had already entered the hall, leaving behind Liu Guoan and others.
And those words of "cutting off the waist" and "cutting off the entire family" frightened all the county magistrates into changing their expressions.
As county magistrates, they certainly knew that the county government represented the authority of the imperial court.
To break into the county government office is to challenge the imperial court!
This is a capital crime!
Originally, they wanted to take advantage of their large number of people to give Su Cheng a blow.
Unexpectedly, Su Cheng was not afraid at all and chose to confront them head-on.
Now, the problem was given to them.
Should we do what Su Cheng said?
Or is it because Su Cheng didn't dare to offend them all and chose to turn a major issue into a trivial one?
"This... this... Sirs, what should we do?"
"Sigh... How do you know the true identity? It's up to you to make up your mind."
"This matter is indeed due to our recklessness, and Su Cheng caught us."
"Do we really have to retreat outside the county government office again, hand in a greeting card, and wait for Su Cheng to agree before we can meet him?"
"But if we don't do what he says, we won't be able to get our fields back!"
"That's right, we are here this time just for the fields!"
Everyone said something, but no one could make up their mind.
Don't agree, they can't bear the consequences of this.
Agree, I won't regret it for the sake of face.
Once this matter spreads out, their ten county magistrates will lose all face.
They are very senior county magistrates. How can they swallow their breath by being so "humiliated" by a magistrate who has only been in office for less than a month?
In officialdom, face is very important.
Once they lose face, who will respect them in the future? How can they govern the county under their control?
A group of county magistrates were furious with each other. Some did not want to give in, but others wanted to do what Su Cheng said for the sake of their fields and their own future.
Suddenly, before negotiating with Su Cheng, they themselves started to quarrel.
At this moment, Liu Guoan suddenly roared: "That's enough!"
In an instant, the eyes of several other county magistrates were all focused on him.
