The county magistrate didn't expect that even after he reluctantly took out the silver ingot, this man was still unmoved.
Is it because I haven’t given enough?
The county magistrate took out another one from his pocket with a look of heartache and said in a low voice, "Is that enough? Don't push your luck!"
He still has eighteen beautiful concubines to support.
Tang Yu said expressionlessly, "Sir, County Magistrate, are you not going to ask who I am?"
"You? Who are you?" The county magistrate asked suspiciously following Tang Yu's words.
Tang Yu really wanted to slap the clerk on the county magistrate's forehead, but he held back.
He smiled and said, "County Magistrate, I have not been in office for a long time. There are indeed reasons. I hope you can forgive me."
County Magistrate: “…”
Oh no, it turned out to be the young man who was demoted here from the capital. What was his name... Oh, Tang Yu!
No wonder even silver ingots couldn't move him. That's right, this guy from the capital must have seen the world. But the county magistrate didn't want to be polite with Tang Yu, so he pulled Tang Yu over and whispered quietly:
"Little brother, you know we're completely powerless to control this situation. You haven't been here for so long, so coming now won't help! Why don't you just go back or find somewhere else to stay?"
"How about this, I'll give you some extra money?"
The county magistrate was sure that Tang Yu did not want to take over this mess. What's more, Tang Yu came from the capital and was used to a comfortable life. How could he understand the sufferings of the world?
It would be better to leave as soon as possible, so the county magistrate didn't think that Tang Yu would want to get involved in these matters at all.
Just consider it bad luck and give him some money to get rid of him quickly.
Tang Yu narrowed his eyes immediately, seeing the county magistrate was about to give him some silver again, and seriously rejected the county magistrate's words: "That's not what I meant."
"......?" The county magistrate didn't understand, but he had a vague idea of what was going on. So he looked around and lowered his voice to the lowest point: "Little brother, it's not easy for everyone. Look, I still have a beautiful concubine to support..."
Tang Yu reached out and interrupted the county magistrate's whisper.
There was a sharp light in his eyes, and there was a look of scrutiny between his brows. As the corners of his mouth slowly rose, his face looked even more handsome in the sunlight.
"My Lord, County Magistrate, I think you have misunderstood. I am indeed here to take up my post. As for you, I think you cannot escape the charge of desertion."
"Are you right?"
Tang Yu spoke politely, but the county magistrate instantly understood the implicit threat in his words.
As long as I leave here, I'm afraid this person will bring the charges against me.
This is indeed a bit difficult...
The county magistrate had a serious expression on his face, then he took off his black hat and threw it to the ground.
"Well, you're the county magistrate."
He still felt that his own life was more important.
Just as refugees began to arrive in the city one after another, his military advisor had already sent people to gather information.
It wouldn't be a big deal if you didn't ask, but once you did, you'd be shocked.
It turned out that there was a flood in the three southern continents, and the flood completely washed away the houses and land of many people, so those people left their homes and came here.
However, this county is not a wealthy place, and the government has limited soldiers. If more and more refugees gather, who can control the situation?
Although those refugees are just begging on the streets now, if they have been hungry for a long time, there is no guarantee that they will not do something desperate.
At that time, could the government officials control it?
He had been doing nothing in this county for twenty years and was already familiar with the situation here. It was impossible for him to try to attract the attention of the refugees by fighting with an egg against a rock!
Tang Yu's eyes darkened, and he seemed to understand why the system insisted on him taking on that hidden task.
If no one makes a decision, by the time people from the capital arrive, the refugees here will have already become bandits, and the law of the jungle will apply here.
It's a bit bad.
But Tang Yu looked at the county magistrate who was eager to leave and asked, "Are you really going to abandon the people of this county?"
"Little brother, I worry about them, but who will worry about me?"
After saying that, the county magistrate simply ignored Tang Yu and got back to work.
Tang Yu: "...Okay, okay, you don't know yet, right? My good brother is a close minister to the emperor. When he finishes dealing with the flood, you'll be in big trouble if he comes along!"
However, Tang Yu was just muttering to himself. It was obvious that the county magistrate wanted to leave and there was no point in stopping him.
Now he is still thinking about how to deal with these displaced refugees. This place is surrounded by four counties. Although this county is the closest to the south, if there are enough refugees and this place can no longer accommodate them, where should they go?
The lips and teeth are interdependent, and those counties cannot stay out of it.
When Tang Yu moved again, there was obviously more confidence in his eyes. He turned around and left, preparing to write a few letters and send them to the county magistrates of the four counties.
As for the county magistrate who was busy at the side, he had actually been observing Tang Yu's actions. After seeing Tang Yu leave, the pair of eyes shining with brilliance on his chubby face revealed a hint of disdain.
Still too young.
He will regret it later!
There was no one in the government office, so Tang Yu simply went to the main hall and sat in the county magistrate's seat to write letters. Finally, after the paper dried, Tang Yu carefully sealed the letters one by one and handed them to the servants.
"Remember, this is already stamped with the county magistrate's seal. All you have to do is hand it over to the authorities."
The servants looked a little hesitant. The lady had instructed them to follow the master closely, but now the master asked them to deliver a letter... This should be possible, right?
