"Hmph, are these people just being toyed with by you hateful bastards? What do you take them for?"

A cold glint flashed in the eyes of the head of the household. Zhu Yunwen had repeatedly stood up for the people and made things difficult for him, the head of the household, which had long made him resentful.

So the person in charge of that household looked at Zhu Yunwen and said:

"Young man, I have some doubts. You don't seem to be from this county, so why are you here, getting caught up in some local matters? What exactly are you trying to do?"

Upon hearing the words of the person in charge of the house, Zhu Yunwen put his hands behind his back:

"Don't even mention your mere Nancheng County, there's no place in the entire world, the entire Ming Dynasty, that I can't govern."

The homeowner sneered and said:

"Such arrogance! Who exactly are you? It's one thing to meddle in other people's business, but to claim you can meddle in everything? I won't get too hung up on this today, otherwise I won't be so polite."

Zhu Yunwen, however, was not afraid at all. He simply said:

"If you have a clear conscience, you will naturally be afraid of facing the doubts of others. You must give an explanation for this matter today. If you are not qualified, then let your magistrate come out."

"I want to see if he can just decide on all the procedures and formalities for this entire county and get them done in one go!"

When the Ministry of Revenue official saw Zhu Yunwen say he wanted to see their county magistrate, a hint of relief appeared on his face.

Clearly, he really didn't know how to stall for time on this matter.

If he could summon the magistrate to handle the situation, it would greatly reduce his burden.

So he began to speak:

"Alright, if you want to see the magistrate, then I'll go and fetch him for you so he can give you an answer."
