Sun Zhiguo, who was exposed to the scorching sun, felt desperate in his heart.

“Water, water…”

His whole body was soaked with sweat, which dried up and then got soaked again. The official uniform that he once wore with such majesty became a heavy burden to him.

He wanted to take it off now, but he couldn't.

The official uniform was constantly soaked with sweat and had a layer of obvious salt stains.

His throat seemed to be on fire and his lips were cracking rapidly.

His advisor Wang Shu, who was also tied up and lying next to him, was not in much better condition.

Facing the steaming ground, he seemed to understand the hardships of the common people who worked hard in the fields.

This guy hit a wall!

That young man is obviously a big shot!

He actually brought silver-armored soldiers with him!

I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince’s army of four to five hundred thousand was defeated by these silver-armored soldiers!

So what is the identity of this young man?

Just as Wang Shu was pondering this, he could hear Magistrate Sun's increasingly low and desperate voice: "Water, water..."

Where the hell am I going to get you water?

I still want to drink water!

What can I do now?

The young man killed the six yamen runners without hesitation. He obviously did not take County Magistrate Sun seriously.

He came from Daxia, and he was not afraid of the officials of the old Liao at all.

Yes, the world has changed.

This is now the world of Daxia. If you want to survive, you have to seek refuge with the officials of Daxia!

How can I catch the young master's eye?

He was obviously new here, and he should be interested in the corrupt officials in old Liao.

Wang Shu's desperate eyes suddenly lit up, and he shouted with all his might, "Young Master, Young Master... I want to see your Young Master!"

"I know where this Sun has hidden his stolen goods. I also know about the scandals that Prefect Qian has committed...!"

…

…

A pot of brewed mint tea was brought over.

Liu Yigen looked at Fu Xiaoguan embarrassedly and said softly, "In this remote place, there is really no tea to entertain guests. This mint grows in the mountains and fields. It is a good thing to cool down in the hot summer. If you and the masters don't mind..."

Fu Xiaoguan waved his hand and said, "Come on, we're not that particular."

Li Xiucai stood aside and silently looked at the young man, his heart becoming more and more confused.

When a country prospers, its people suffer; when a country perishes, its people suffer.

What an enlightening statement!

This young man looked to be in his early twenties, and he seemed to have a very clear understanding of the country.

He thought more carefully. When the young man arrived, he had braved the scorching sun to visit the fields, so he must have understood the conditions there. He didn't care about the poverty and squalor of Huanglin Village at all. He sat in his own home for a while, spoke a few words, and then he killed six yamen runners without mercy and decisiveness, seemingly never worrying about the government harassing him.

Now he is sitting in the house of the even dirtier Liu Yigen, drinking the mint tea without any scruples... So is he really a pampered young master of a high-ranking official?

Li Xiucai was confused. In his opinion, let alone the young masters of high-ranking officials' mansions, even the young masters of wealthy families in Heye County were almost all lazy and ignorant.

Who else can understand national policies, be approachable, and care about the country and the people like this young man?

Yan Beixi and the other two were familiar with Fu Xiaoguan, and they were very pleased, especially Yan Beixi. He suddenly felt that the demise of the Yu Dynasty was a blessing for the people of Yu!

The mint tea was served, and Liu Jin took it in advance. Just as he was about to taste it, Fu Xiaoguan smiled and brought it over again. He seemed to be blowing the curling hot steam, but in fact he was shaking his head imperceptibly - how could there be so many unruly people in the world who want to harm me!

Mint tea exudes a refreshing mint fragrance and is actually an excellent drink in summer. It’s just that it grows in the mountains and fields and is not known to many people.

"Uncle, do you still have this mint tea at home?"

"Ah, this is my son's fiancée, the woman you just saw. She went to pick some and dry them in the sun. I still have some left. If you like them, I'll give them to you!"

"No, I'll buy it! How about five ounces of silver for a pound of mint?"

Liu Yigen was startled and quickly waved his hands: "No, no, absolutely not! Today, you have stood up for our Huanglin Village. This worthless thing is my way of thanking you. Besides..."

Liu Genzhi paused, then timidly said what he had been thinking for a long time: "Also, since you have such great abilities, could you please protect the safety of Huanglin Village? I'm worried that they will take revenge later."

This was something Fu Xiaoguan had not thought of before. He pondered for a moment and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm on my way to Dading Prefecture. I'll pass through Heye County and Wansheng Prefecture on the way, and I'll take care of this matter at once."

Li Xiucai was shocked when he heard this - this young man was actually able to deal with the prefect!

So how high is his status?

Li Xiucai couldn't help but ask, "Excuse me, sir, are you the imperial envoy of the current emperor?"

Fu Xiaoguan was immediately amused. "You guessed it right. I am the errand boy for the current emperor."

As soon as Fu Xiaoguan acknowledged his identity, Li Xiucai was the first to kneel down with a thud. Liu Yigen, Liu Datian and the other three villagers looked at him and said, "Oh my God, this master is a real justice!"

So, the five of them knelt down together. Li Xiucai, after all, was well-read and knew some etiquette. He hurriedly said, "I am an ordinary person who has not recognized a great man. Please forgive me, Your Excellency!"

"Get up, everyone. I don't have those rules. Wouldn't it be better for everyone to chat and drink this mint tea? Get up, get up, be more casual."

The villagers stood up, with happy expressions on their faces, because since he was an imperial envoy, he naturally held the emperor's sword. If he really wanted to, he could arrest all the corrupt officials in one go.

But the villagers who had never seen the world became restrained again. They didn't know how high an official the imperial envoy was, and they didn't know how to entertain this important figure next.

At this moment, Ning Siyan walked in. He bowed to Fu Xiaoguan and said, "Sir, that advisor named Wang Shu said... he knows all the dirty things going on in this place and wants to recruit."

"Oh, then bring him in. What happened to the county magistrate? Did he die of sunburn?"

"There's still breath left."

Fu Xiaoguan picked up the teacup, his face cold, "Then continue drying it until it becomes jerky!"

"good!"

Fu Xiaoguan took a sip of lukewarm mint tea and looked at the villagers. "To deal with evildoers, we must use even more vicious means. You may not know that the laws of Daxia stipulate that no government or individual at any level may oppress others. If such a situation occurs, the oppressed can take up arms to resist."

"This is a human right! This right is written into Daxia's highest law. Even if the emperor... if he is incompetent, the people of Daxia can rise up and overthrow this brutal regime."

Everyone gasped. This was obviously beyond their comprehension and they felt it was simply a fantasy!

Only Qin Bingzhong and Yan Beixi looked at Fu Xiaoguan meaningfully.
