Yu Zheng was also very surprised to see a foreigner here.

Although the yamen runners were aggressive when escorting them, the inmates were all on guard, as if they were afraid that these people would suddenly attack them like demons.

In fact, these foreigners neither resisted nor were they afraid. Instead, they showed great interest in everything they saw around them.

After leaving the county government, these foreigners were thrown into jail by the yamen runners.

Only then did they realize they had been deceived.

But once the door was locked, they could never get out.

Shangguan Ziqi and Yu Zheng went straight through the gate of the county government office.

"Who are you? This is the county government office. You are not allowed to come near here without permission." A government official stopped them, but they did not dare to act rashly.

He saw that Shangguan Ziqi and his group were all dressed in extraordinary clothes and had an imposing manner. They were obviously from wealthy families.

"Go and tell your county magistrate Zhou that there are guests visiting." Qingfeng stepped forward and showed a card.

The yamen runner didn't recognize any badges at all, he couldn't even read a few words, but seeing Qingfeng's imposing manner, he didn't dare to neglect him.

He hurried in to report.

After a while, a middle-aged man in a North Korean county official uniform ran out quickly.

Looking at the people playing Guan Ziqi, each of them is very heroic, even Yu Yuzheng, who is dressed in men's clothes, cannot be ignored.

"I wonder what business you have with me, the judge?" County Magistrate Zhou bowed slightly.

He had served in the local government for many years, but because there was no one in the court, he had always been in the county magistrate position and had not been promoted for many years. He was also considered a seasoned official, and he was very cautious in judging people.

So take the initiative to greet first.

Qingfeng showed the card to County Magistrate Zhou again.

That was the brand on his body.

County Magistrate Zhou took it and looked at it. On the front was written: Prince Rong’s Mansion, and on the back was written: Class A Guards.

He immediately knelt down.

"I, the humble official Zhou Qi, the county magistrate of Hongchang County, pay my respects to the general and the guardian of the country."

Several states had been hit by disasters recently, and the Emperor had sent imperial envoys. He certainly knew who were the envoys.

He didn't think much about being able to take out the brand of Prince Rong's Mansion.

When the yamen runner who followed behind heard the county magistrate's address, he was so frightened that his legs bent and he knelt down.

"Mr. Zhou, there is no need for formalities." Shangguan Ziqi gave him a false support.

Zhou Xianyu stood up with some trembling.

In his heart, he kept wondering whether he had lost track of government affairs. What if the general and the governor of the country came to cause trouble for him? He might never be able to run this small county again.

"Please come in, both of you." County Magistrate Zhou bowed and stood aside.

Shangguan Ziqi took the lead.

This county government office is not big and the building is a bit old, which shows that it has not been repaired for a long time.

County Magistrate Zhou took the two of them into the guest reception area behind the county government office and sat down.

The county magistrate Zhou personally served tea.

"County Magistrate Zhou, when we entered the city just now, we saw several yamen runners escorting some very strange people. Do you know who they are?" Shangguan Ziqi asked directly.

After hearing his questions, County Magistrate Zhou finally put his mind at ease, because it turned out that he came here just for this matter.

"To the general, not long ago, a severe typhoon blew ashore. When the wind died down, the fishermen on the coast found a strange large ship that was blown to the shore by the typhoon. A group of people that no one had ever seen walked off the ship, scaring the local residents.

The fishermen thought they were demons and organized themselves to beat them all to death.

As a result, the dozen or so men, each holding a long sword, were so fierce that they prevented the fishermen from getting close to them.

So I reported it to the county, and I sent a dozen yamen runners to bring the person over.

Look, I was listening to the yamen runners report how they arrested the man, and you guys came."

Zhou Xianyu said truthfully.

"My Lord also wants to hear how they brought the people back." Yu Yuzheng asked after listening to him.

"I will ask Captain Li to reply."

The lawyer standing behind County Magistrate Zhou immediately went out to bring the person over.

Captain Li is a strong man of medium build, and one can tell at first glance that he is a man of great strength.

"I, Li Dazhuang, greet General Shangguan and the Lord of the Nation." Li Dazhuang knelt down and saluted as soon as he came in.

You can tell at a glance that he is very excited.

"Get up and answer." Shangguan Ziqi said in a calm voice.

"My Lord, let me ask you, can you understand what those people are saying?" Yu Yu Zheng just asked tentatively.

"My Lord, I don't understand."

"Then why are they willing to follow you here?" Yu Yu Zheng was surprised that they couldn't communicate in the language, but still brought people back.

“We listened to the fishermen’s story and learned that these weirdos had no ill intentions, but they had to fight back when the fishermen attacked them.

When the fishermen retreated, they did not take the initiative to attack, but kept gesticulating and speaking in a language they could not understand.

From their gestures, the fishermen more or less understood what they meant.

They encountered a strong wind at sea, lost their way, and were blown here.

They just wanted to buy something to eat.

They also took out silver coins to exchange for things with the fishermen, but the fishermen were afraid of these people and did not dare to sell things to them.

After we got there, we took their silver coins and exchanged them for some food. They were very grateful, so we tricked them into following us back to the county government office."

Li Dazhuang respectfully recounted how they tricked people into coming here.

“Where do you put these people?”

"The county magistrate asked us to put these weirdos in jail first."

"They didn't resist?" Yu Zheng didn't quite believe it.

“When they first entered, they didn’t know it was a prison cell. Only when they saw the guard lock the iron door did they realize they had been tricked. Then they shouted and wanted to get out. However, the prison cells in the county government were very solid and they couldn’t get out at all.” Li Dazhuang was very confident.

The couple looked at each other.

Everyone had the same thought in their minds: Can it be done this way?

"How does County Magistrate Zhou plan to deal with these people?" Shangguan Ziqi wanted to hear County Magistrate Zhou's ideas.

"I have never seen such a person in my life. I don't know whether he is an enemy or a friend. I plan to lock him up first and then write a memorial to report to the emperor. I'm just waiting to hear your will." This is what County Magistrate Zhou thought.

Such strange people have come to the Wei Dynasty, and it is unknown whether there will be such strange people in the future.

The most terrifying thing is that these people are extremely tall. If there are many of them coming to Wei, if it is disadvantageous to Wei, then the war that Wei has finally stopped will come again.

This is something that no one in the Great Wei wants to see.

Two years of war have made life miserable for the Chinese people. If another war happens, will they still be able to survive?

"Well, you are right to do so. Take us to meet those people." Shangguan Ziqi requested.

"Yes, please follow me." County Magistrate Zhou didn't even have time to look at those people.

He wanted to meet her, too.

Magistrate Zhou brought Shangguan Ziqi and Yu Zheng to the prison cell in the county government office.

The prison cell was located in a separate courtyard to the west of the county government office.

The wall is very thick and the top is covered with thorns.

A large word "Prison" was written on the outer wall, letting people know at a glance that they could not approach this place.

Two jailers were standing guard outside the prison's black lacquered gate.

Once you go in, you'll see small prison cells, some with wooden fences, some with iron fences.

Those dozen or so foreigners were locked up in a cell behind iron bars.

At this time they were hammering the iron bars and laughing.

Yu Yuzheng heard what they were saying before she even got close.

It turns out that she is familiar with English.

"Let's out!"

“We are not prisoners!”
