The chief officer paused and nodded, "Yes."
It's not enough to just ask him to clean.
They worked hard all day and worked themselves to death to get these steamed buns.
Those 50 people collapsed last night and stayed in bed all day, which was much easier for them.
He didn't even want to stand now. He was so tired that he wanted to just lie down on the bed.
Cleaning the corridor is absolutely impossible.
Those 50 people have been lying down all day, it's time to get up and move around.
They are all officials, so it can't be that they are the only ones who have to suffer.
Watching the chief official leaving his room with a group of clay figurines, the moment the door closed, Qu Yutang couldn't wait to grab a steamed bun and stuff it into his mouth.
"grown ups!"
The chief officer had just closed the door when he remembered something and opened it again.
".....Uh~~" Qu Yutang was so frightened that his heart skipped a beat, and the big mouthful of steamed bun got stuck in his throat.
This frightened the chief officer so much that he rushed to Qu Yutang's side in two or three steps, grabbed the kettle on the table and poured water into Qu Yutang's mouth.
One hand patted Qu Yutang's back vigorously.
"Sir, are you okay?!"
The chief officer looked at Qu Yutang with fear.
Fortunately, he suddenly remembered something and came back, otherwise the adult would have choked to death on the steamed bun.
If the imperial envoy dies, they will be in trouble.
"Cough cough cough~~~" Qu Yutang coughed a few times with a red face, and glanced at the head of the official with a hint of resentment.
"Remember to knock on the door next time you enter."
“.....Yes.” The chief officer was stunned for a moment.
Could it be that she was choked by being scared by him?
"What's the matter?" Qu Yutang wiped the water from the corner of his mouth, tightened his hand holding the steamed bun slightly, and couldn't help feeling a little irritated.
Can't we wait until he finishes eating before we talk about anything?
He could have held back, but after taking this bite, he felt even hungrier.
The officer leader smiled awkwardly.
"Should we ask those fifty people to work tomorrow morning too!?"
The way he looked at Qu Yutang, he didn't think he was going to go to the prefectural yamen to settle accounts with Prefect Deng.
We can't just rely on them to do hard labor to earn food in the next few days.
We share the hardship.
Moreover, they were extremely tired today, their shoulders ached so much that they couldn't even lift them up. They had to take a day off tomorrow, and those 50 people would do the work instead.
He couldn't help but feel happy when he thought that 50 people could bring back 200 steamed buns.
There are so many steamed buns. If you eat them sparingly, they can last you two or three days.
"Huh!?" Qu Yutang looked at the chief officer in disbelief.
"Everyone go to work, who will go to find out the news?"
Why did he feel like they were living a peaceful life of going out early and coming back late?
I always feel something is weird.
The chief officer smiled and said, "There are still more than a hundred people outside gathering information."
"The walls of Qianhuang City have all been expanded. This area is being renovated to build workshops, so the other four areas must also be being renovated."
"I suspect they must have gone far away to gather information, and they won't be back for a while."
"Then we can't stay hungry forever."
Qu Yutang thought about it carefully and felt that what he said made sense.
He glanced at the officer's blistered hands and nodded.
"You arrange it and let them go in batches."
"It's hot, and so many people went to get food at once, and it wouldn't be able to store it."
All of a sudden everyone left, and there was no one to accompany him at the post station, which made him feel uneasy.
"Yes, I will arrange it when I get back." The chief official happily agreed, picked up the teapot and poured a glass of water for Qu Yutang.
"Sir, drink some water..."
It’s good to take turns. 15 people will be arranged to go there every day. They will take turns every 4 days, which is pretty good.
In four days, adults should understand most of what they want to know.
At that time they should have gone to the prefectural government office.
Since Magistrate Deng didn't explicitly say he wanted to rebel, he would still treat these officials from the capital well.
According to his observations throughout the day, Governor Deng probably just wanted the people of Qianhuang City to live a good life, so he did so many things.
The chief officer walked out of Qu Yutang's door, took a deep breath, and frowned instantly.
The smell in the corridor is really pungent.
He was honest and worked hard to earn food, and he was eager to share it with these people.
The more than one hundred people were different. They just ate and drank their fill outside and never came back.
He knew with his toes that those people must eat better than him.
I heard that the other expanded areas are building houses for the people, and all the people who go there are strong laborers.
How can the strong laborers eat the same food as the old, weak and sick? They must be able to gain weight.
The chief officer felt suffocated when he thought of the more than one hundred people eating meat with big mouthfuls.
No, after he arranges those people to go to work, he has to ask them to bring back the meat buns for lunch.
Let them share a meat bun between them, so that they can at least bring back seven or eight meat buns.
After thinking it through, the chief officer frowned and walked back quickly.
........
"How did you get caught in here too?!"
The officers who were lying on the ground with hunger heard the sound of the cell door opening. They looked up and saw a familiar figure.
The officer who had just been sent in looked at the officers in disguise in the cell and twitched his mouth twice.
"How did you get caught?!"
"Now we're treating everyone equally, arresting both the plaintiff and the defendant?"
He and his friends went to the military camp to spy, and it was a good thing that they didn't get beheaded.
When they were caught, they revealed their identities, but those people didn't listen and simply tied them up and sent them to jail.
But these people pretended to be ordinary people to file a complaint, looking for an opportunity to get close to Magistrate Deng, but they were all arrested anyway.
The common people obeyed the officials and pulled their mouth corners helplessly.
"Alas, how could we know what was wrong with that gatekeeper? He locked us up just because we complained."
The two groups looked at each other, their eyes full of confusion.
One of the officers frowned and looked at everyone, "What do you think? Did Magistrate Deng know our identities and do this on purpose?"
"In theory, with so many of us entering Qianhuang City, it's impossible that Governor Deng didn't know."
"Perhaps Magistrate Deng had already arranged for people to monitor us near the post station, so he was able to catch us all without fail."
When everyone heard this, they fell silent.
Yes, how could they arrest someone so accurately? The key point is that I have never heard of anyone being arrested without even interrogating the person after filing a complaint with the authorities.
If they suspected that the disguised police officers were causing trouble, they would be arrested.
Some of them went out wearing official uniforms, but they were also arrested.
