Chapter 63: If the city can be saved, why burn it?

Gongsun Yue was a little curious and poked the little guy with his fan bone.

"Your father is back, why are you unhappy?"

"Of course I'm not happy. Every time my father comes back, he tests our homework, and I get scolded every time."

Gan Huaibi hung his head and looked like a disaster was coming.

Gongsun Yue reached out and pinched his chubby little face.

"Don't worry, your father won't test your homework this time."

"Really?" Gan Huaibi's eyes lit up slightly: "Daddy really won't test my homework?"

"No."

At this moment, no one knew how long they could live or whether they could survive. Everyone had a lot of things to do and a lot to say. How could they waste time on useless things?

Seeing that everyone had returned safely, Hui Niang was happy and cooked a large table of dishes.

Although the dishes she cooked were not as delicious as those in high-end restaurants, the ingredients and seasonings she used were all taken out of the system by Gan Tian. The quality and taste were very good, and the dishes she cooked were also very delicious.

Everyone ate the dishes and chatted at the same time. The atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant.

Hearing Gan Fanren talk about what happened in the past few days, everyone exclaimed.

[So thrilling, so exciting, I really want to sit on a centipede. ]

[This Song Ci is really a talent. He actually invented so many interesting things. ]

[Such a powerful person is not mentioned in the novel at all. If it weren’t for Dad, I’m afraid no one would ever know that there was a little yamen runner named Song Ci who was so powerful. ]

After everyone had eaten their fill, Gan Fanren slowly talked about the matter of the county magistrate wanting to burn down Xiaoye City.

Everyone should have been shocked, but after experiencing what happened at Tongmen Pass, no one was shocked at all.

[How should I put it? After seeing Mu Beizhixian's outrageous actions, I suddenly felt that such actions were ordinary and not worth mentioning.]

[I'm used to it.]

Not only Gan Tian was used to it, but everyone was used to it. They were not shocked at all, but seriously discussed ways to escape.

Old lady: "Can we still use the tunnel we took when we came here? Otherwise, let's leave through that tunnel."

Hui Niang: "We can go, but what about the others?"

Li Zhi: "If it's up to me, we should stop thinking about it. The goddess will definitely have a way."

[The goddess doesn't have any good solution either. 】

【There is water in my space, maybe I can use this water to put out the fire, but I feel that this is only a temporary solution. Once the fire starts, water may not work. 】

【In theory, sand can put out the fire, but there is no sand in my space. 】

Gan Tian racked her brains, but couldn't think of any good way.

What should she do to save everyone?

Gan Fanren felt very distressed when he saw Gan Tian frowning.

Even if they wanted to find a way, they should be the adults to find a way, not her, a little girl, to worry about it.

Gongsun Yue heard the little guy's thoughts and understood where Gan Fanren got those things.

It turned out that those things were all obtained from the little guy.

He looked at Gan Tian with interest.

"Actually, I have a plan, but it's a bit risky. But if it succeeds, both the county magistrate and several generals can be punished."

"What plan?"

Gan Fanren asked.

Gongsun Yue coughed twice: "It's still my previous plan, using the public opinion to force them to give up burning the city."

Li Zhi was very disdainful of Gongsun Yue's plan: "Don't mention your plan, it's a bad idea, and you almost didn't save yourself."

Gongsun Yue also knew that he had not done it carefully enough before.

But this time is different.

This time they have Gan Tian.

"We didn't succeed before because we didn't have the help of the Goddess. Now we have the help of the Goddess, and we will definitely succeed."

Then, the grand paper appeared again. Looking at the content on it, the people in Xiaoye City burst into discussions.

When the illiterate saw the paper, they couldn't help but exclaimed: "Is this paper? Such white paper, I have never seen such white paper in my life, and the texture of this paper is so good!"

"What time is it, you still care about paper, it says here that the county magistrate wants to set fire to the city and burn us to death!"

"No, this must be fake, I don't believe the county magistrate will do this! Let's go and find the county magistrate to find out!"

"I don't believe it either, we are all from the same city, how can he burn us just like that?"

"I think it's true, I heard that the county magistrate took his whole family away today, maybe he went to escape."

"Not only the county magistrate, but also important officials and some wealthy families in Xiaoye City have left. Before, I just thought they were greedy and afraid of death, and worried about being infected by the epidemic. Now I understand that they are going to set fire to the city!"

Some people believed it, and some people did not believe it. At this time, they started to quarrel.

"Okay, okay, everyone should stop quarreling. Whether it is true or not, we can go to the county government office to see it, right?"

"If the county magistrate and those officials are really gone, then it means that this matter is likely to be true, and we should prepare to escape early. If they did not run away, it means that this matter is false."

"Yes, yes, yes, whether it is true or not, we can go to the county government office to see it, right?"

A group of people came to the county government office in a noisy manner to verify, but were stopped by the yamen runners.

"The county magistrate has ordered that no one can approach the county government office."

"Oh, what time is it now? You are still sticking to the rules!"

An old and prestigious judge took out the white paper that Gongsun Yue had thrown.

"Look at this. It says that the county magistrate wants to set fire to the city! If the county magistrate cannot explain it to everyone in time, Xiaoye City will probably be in chaos!"

"We have finally managed to stabilize the situation. Let's get the county magistrate out to say a few words, otherwise there will be chaos again."

The yamen runners took the paper in a panic and looked at the contents on it. They had a bad feeling in their hearts.

They stayed in the county yamen all day and were much more informed than these ordinary people. Naturally, they knew that the county magistrate had left.

They only thought that the county magistrate didn't want to pay attention to the epidemic. They never thought that the county magistrate wanted to burn them alive!

"Oh, what's wrong with you, little yamen runner? Why are you just looking and not saying anything? Hurry up and let the county magistrate come out!"

The yamen runner wiped his face and tried to calm himself down.

"The county magistrate has left. Not only the county magistrate, but many other magistrates have left with their families."

"What? The county magistrate has left? Is everything written on the paper true?"

"Didn't they say the prescription had been developed? Why did the magistrate want to burn down the city?"

"The prescription was just developed. The county magistrate must not know about it yet. We must find a way to find the county magistrate and tell him the news!"
