"Mr. Jin, on behalf of the brothers who sacrificed their lives, I would like to thank you for your generosity and righteousness!"
Captain Xiao solemnly saluted Jin Feng.
"As a member of the people of Guangyuan, this is what I should do."
Jin Feng quickly helped Captain Xiao up.
"By the way, Mr. Jin, the Sheriff has been waiting for you here at the city gate these two days. He just returned not long ago. Before he left, he told me that when you come back, please go to the Sheriff's Mansion as soon as possible. He has something to do with you.
Important things."
Unconsciously, Captain Xiao's name for Jin Feng changed.
"The Sheriff is looking for me?" Jin Feng asked, "Did he say something happened?"
"No, but I guess it has something to do with this city gate conflict."
Captain Xiao said softly.
"Okay, I understand, I'll go right away."
Jin Feng nodded and left with Tang Xiaobei, Qing Mulan and others.
"Sir, what should the Zhou family do?"
Qing Mulan rode a few steps quickly to catch up with Jin Feng.
Although the Zhou family did not kidnap Tang Xiaobei this time, Zhou Changlin's mother-in-law had already formulated a revenge plan, but she did not take action for the time being because Zhou Wenyuan got the better of her.
According to Qing Mulan and Jin Feng's previous discussion, they would take action against the Zhou family when Zhang Liang arrived with a large force from Xihewan.
"There's no need to rush this matter. I'll go see what the county guard wants to do with me first, and we'll talk about it when I get back."
Jin Feng glanced at Zhang Liang, who was following behind, and said: "Brother Liang, take care of the people under you. Until I come back, they will stay in the yard honestly. Don't go out yet."
Although several of the war horses that Zhang Liang brought were requisitioned by Jin Feng for Qing Mulan, Amei and others, as Zhang Liang is the leader of the veterans, his horses will definitely not be requisitioned. They are still walking in the mountains, basically.
They are all ordinary veterans and female soldiers.
Zhang Liang euphemistically said that he asked them to train for long-distance cross-country training with heavy loads.
Team captains like Tieniu and Da Zhuang all came back with Jin Feng on horseback.
After all, Xihewan's large army is still in Guangyuan, and they need to come back to lead the team.
However, Zhang Liang was very dissatisfied with Liu's performance in Guangyuan and kept him in the walking team and increased his weight by twenty kilograms as punishment.
"clear."
Zhang Liang nodded in agreement.
At the intersection, Jin Feng asked Qing Mulan to take Tang Xiaobei back to the inn first, while he took two skilled veterans and rushed to the governor's mansion.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Mr. Wei coming out of the Sheriff's Mansion with an angry look on his face.
When he saw Jin Feng, he snorted coldly and left carrying a small medicine box.
Not far away, the old county guard shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Jin Feng looked back at the old doctor's back with a dark face.
Wasn't it just that last time he asked for 500 taels, but he only gave 30 taels? As for meeting again, he snorted and stared?
"Mr. Jin, don't get me wrong. Mr. Wei is just angry with me."
When the old county guard saw Jin Feng's dark face, he immediately helped the doctor explain: "Malaria appeared in the north of Guangyuan and has spread to three villages. Mr. Wei asked me for money to buy medicine to save people. The first time he asked me, he gave me one thousand taels. I
Where can I get him so much money?
He is a stubborn person. I don’t have any money to give him, so he gets angry. Sir, don’t be as knowledgeable as him.”
"Who would you believe that you would have no money after being a county guard for so many years?"
Jin Feng cursed in his heart.
It is said that serving as an official for thousands of miles is only for wealth. Each official in Dakang has better ways to make money than the last. The county magistrate does not know how much grain and silver he earns through the bandits he cultivates every year. Will the county guard have no money?
Not to mention anything else, the old man in front of me made a lot of money from the Oiran Competition held every year.
In fact, Jin Feng also understood why the county governor was unwilling to give money.
In Dakang, a country with backward medical conditions, malaria is basically a terminal disease. Once infected, one can almost wait to die.
In the world where Jin Feng lived in his previous life, humans had also struggled with malaria for thousands of years. Pharmacist Ms. Tu not only won the Nobel Prize but also received the country's highest medal of honor for discovering artemisinin to treat malaria.
Perhaps in the eyes of the county magistrate, if you get malaria, you will die anyway, so why waste money to see it?
"You really can't look at people just by their appearance."
Jin Feng looked back at the figure carrying the small medicine box and sighed.
At the Oiran Competition, Jin Feng met Langzhong Wei for the first time. He was refusing the madam's false diagnosis for Tang Xiaobei, and Jin Feng had a good impression of him.
A few days ago, he asked Jin Feng for a reward for a piece of news, and Jin Feng's feelings towards him worsened again.
Only now do I know that Dr. Wei raised money to buy medicine to save people.
Just as he was about to ask about malaria, the county guard spoke again: "Sir, what will happen if you chase the thugs who forced their way through the city gate?"
"The main culprit was caught, but the young man escaped." Jin Feng replied.
Hearing Jin Feng's answer, the wrinkles on the Sheriff's face visibly loosened.
In the eyes of ordinary people, he was a high-ranking county governor, but in the eyes of the Duke and the powerful officials in the court, he was nothing.
Ever since he found out that the person who forced his way into the city gate was from the Zhou family in the capital, and was also a descendant of the family head, the county guard had been worried.
He was worried that Zhou Wenyuan would be caught up and killed by Jin Feng.
He couldn't afford to offend the Qing family behind Jin Feng, nor could he offend the Zhou family in the capital.
That's why he has been waiting at the city gate for the past two days, wanting to know the results of Jin Feng's pursuit as soon as possible so that he can take countermeasures as soon as possible.
Fortunately, Jin Feng did not catch Zhou Wenyuan.
Then he and the Zhou family would have room for change.
The county governor has encountered too many bad things recently, and this time he finally heard some good news that made him happy.
But before he could be happy for too long, he heard Jin Feng say: "My lord, the county guard, forcibly broke into the city gate and killed the soldiers. This kind of behavior is a heinous crime. Please issue the thief's arrest document and do your best to arrest this thief!"
"Hai... sea fishing documents?"
The county guard choked and coughed at Jin Feng's words.
The sea arrest document is equivalent to the wanted order in the previous life. Once it is issued, Zhou Wenyuan will be branded as a fugitive for the rest of his life even if he has escaped.
The county magistrate would never do something so offending to the Zhou family.
"Um...Sir, it's difficult to talk here. Let's go to the study to talk."
The county guard looked around and took Jin Feng into the study room where he usually worked.
By this time it was getting dark, so the governor asked his servants to light candles and then drove everyone away.
Jin Feng knew that the county guard wanted to talk to him alone, so he asked the veteran who was following him to leave.
The county guard thought for a while and said: "Sir, you have worked hard this time. I want to thank you on behalf of the people and the soldiers who died."
"I am also a member of Guangyuan, and everything is as it should be."
Jin Feng said in a perfunctory manner.
"No wonder the gentleman was able to obtain the title. He really understands the righteousness. If all the scholars in Guangyuan can be as clear-minded as the gentleman, then it won't be so difficult for me as a county governor..."
"Master Sheriff, there are no outsiders here. Just say what you want to say. I've been running for two days and I'm a little tired."
Jin Feng thought that after the county guard said a few polite words, it was time to get down to business, but judging from his appearance, he didn't know how long it would take to lay the groundwork, so he directly interrupted the county guard's words.
