"Very good!!"
"The Emperor has never given up on us!"
"I bow to thank the Emperor. Long live the Emperor!"
As soon as one citizen knelt down, more people followed suit and kowtowed towards the direction of the Yuan Dynasty's imperial palace.
The county magistrate also knelt down and kowtowed three times.
The people went to collect their silver and money in an orderly manner. Some people tried to be clever and came to collect their money a second time after collecting it once. The county magistrate directly asked the yamen runners nearby to arrest them.
"This money was sent by the Emperor for disaster relief. I hope every penny is used wisely." The county magistrate glanced at the crowd. "If anyone tries to play tricks on me, don't blame me for being rude!"
Everyone:!!!
"That's right. This is the money the Emperor gave us. If you act recklessly like this and the Emperor knows about it, will he still help us if we have any problems next time?"
"That's right, let me see who dares to mess around, I'll beat him up!"
"My Lord County Magistrate, you have made a good arrest. If there is another person like this in the future, you must arrest him!"
"Yes, yes, yes! We still have to catch them!"
Seeing that they all agreed with his approach, the county magistrate smiled and said, "I know that most of us are good people."
"It's just that there are always a small number of people who have ulterior motives."
"I just hope that small group of people will put aside their petty thoughts."
As the county magistrate spoke, he gave a look to the yamen runner beside him. The runner took the man away, and the rest of the people continued to line up to receive their money.
This time, no one dared to take more.
Yuchi Xi watched from the second-floor window of the inn not far away. The corners of her lips curled up slightly, and she supported her chin with both hands. "I didn't expect this county magistrate to be so smart."
I've seen so many people with brains, it's rare to see a normal official.
Jing Huaian stood behind her and said calmly, "He is considered a normal person."
Lu Feiyu looked at Jing Huaian and then at Yuchi Xi, "Little Princess, are we going to deal with those bandits now?"
Yuchi Xi asked him, "Do you know where the bandits live?"
Lu Feiyu shook his head. If he had known, he would not have just been waiting here.
"I don't know either." Yuchi Xi spread his hands, "I asked some people, and they didn't know either."
After all, there have been floods before, and who would follow to see what happened after people were taken away?
If you try to catch up with him, you might be washed away by the flood.
"We can only wait for them to come. Now that the county magistrate has started disaster relief, those bandits should also be dispatched."
Wouldn’t they be tempted to see so much money?
Lu Feiyu said, "Then I will send the White Wolf Cub to secretly protect the people and the county magistrate."
"Okay." Yuchi Xi nodded. This idea was correct.
Lu Feiyu went to talk to the white wolf cubs. In fact, he didn't know whether these white wolf cubs could understand what he said. Well, he just gestured and said a few words.
Whether they understand or not depends on their understanding.
The white wolf cubs listened attentively, squatting obediently. They looked like students who were attending a lecture seriously, but it seemed that this "knowledge" could not stay in their heads, going in one ear and out the other.
When Lu Feiyu looked into their stupid and clear eyes, he knew that they didn't understand at all. There was nothing he could do, he could only act it out himself to tell them what they should do.
Fortunately, after so much training, they still had some tacit understanding. They understood and ran out barking.
Lu Feiyu hurried to the window and looked down, and saw the white wolf cubs running to every citizen, squatting and sticking out their tongues.
Lu Feiyu: ...
Didn’t I tell you to protect it secretly?
How can you protect it openly?
The people were horrified. "This, this, this, is this a wolf?!"
The county magistrate saw it and smiled, "Don't panic, it's a dog."
People: Is this a dog?
"So it's a dog. It really does look like a dog now."
"Don't tell me, it looks exactly like a dog."
"Looks pretty good."
"If it really is a wolf cub, it shouldn't be so well behaved."
"Why are they following us?"
"Hey, I walk and it follows me. Is it relying on me?"
"That's not good. If a dog relies on you, it means you're going to be rich!"
Several people were talking and laughing, and the county magistrate also laughed. "I've seen them before. They were with an important person. Maybe the important person asked them to protect us."
The people laughed loudly, "No way? This little dog is only a little bit big? Can it protect us?"
"Hahahaha, that's so cute. Don't worry, we will protect you."
People felt that such a weak puppy was the one that needed to be protected.
The county magistrate just smiled and said nothing more.
Lu Feiyu: ...
Never mind, they don't look like they're lethal.
That night, on a hill.
In the bandit's den.
"What did you say! The imperial government's disaster relief has arrived in Rong County?"
"How could it be so fast this time? The people over there didn't even intercept it?"
The bandit leader frowned.
"This time, the funds weren't allocated directly, but were brought here by a big shot!"
"Big shot?" The bandit leader sneered. "What big shot? Are they those young masters who can't lift or carry anything?"
"Hahahaha." The bandits burst into laughter.
The bandit leader stood up and said, "No matter how important he is, if he hands over the money, I can still spare his life. Otherwise..."
He laughed, and the people below laughed along with him.
