A strange face appeared in Huanghualing, and the villagers in Huanghualing became alert.
The number of refugees has increased recently, and everyone is worried that there are refugees entering the village.
But the man's attire did not look like that of a refugee. In order to travel more conveniently, County Magistrate Zhou wore only a cotton robe and no official uniform.
The villagers called the village chief.
When Village Chief Wang saw the person in front of him, he rubbed his eyes in disbelief. This person seemed to be the official of their county.
But why is he here, without wearing official uniform?
Village chief Wang was worried that he had recognized the wrong person due to his old eyesight, so he hurriedly stepped forward a few steps to confirm again.
That’s right, it’s the magistrate of Nanzhou County.
"Your Highness the County Magistrate." Village Chief Wang hurriedly knelt on the ground and wanted to kowtow to the County Magistrate.
Village chief Wang was very nervous. He didn't know why County Magistrate Zhou came. It was a rainy season and officials had just come to search his house, and now the county magistrate came again.
County Magistrate Zhou quickly supported Village Chief Wang and prevented him from kneeling.
"This is not a court. I am here just to take a look. No need to be polite." County Magistrate Zhou helped Village Chief Wang up while explaining his purpose.
Village Chief Wang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
All the villagers in Huanghualing have poor family backgrounds and cannot withstand any disturbance. They either take things as they come or go.
The onlookers were even more surprised. It turned out that the man in front of them was not the county magistrate. This was the first time they had seen a county magistrate in their lives.
"Your Highness the County Magistrate." Although there is no need to kneel, the proper etiquette cannot be abandoned.
“No need to formality.” County Magistrate Zhou kindly asked everyone to step forward.
All the villagers of Huanghualing stood around County Magistrate Zhou. Contrary to their usual chattering appearance, everyone was silent, fearing that the county magistrate would suddenly question them.
"Excuse me, County Magistrate Zhou, what can I do for you?" Village Chief Wang stepped forward and asked the topic that concerned him most.
County Magistrate Zhou smiled and waved his hand, "No, I just came out for a walk."
Village Chief Wang stood beside County Magistrate Zhou nervously, waiting for County Magistrate Zhou to ask questions at any time.
As for what County Magistrate Zhou said about just taking a casual walk, Village Chief Wang didn't believe a word of it.
A few days ago, soldiers came to search the house, and now the county magistrate came to take a walk again. Village chief Wang was full of suspicion and always felt that something big was going to happen in Huanghualing.
Qian Xingshan was also mixed in the crowd. He was worried that the person who searched the house last time had come back again. When he heard that it was the county magistrate, he felt a little relieved.
Qian Xingshan quietly returned home and informed Wang Tai and the others of the news that the county magistrate was coming to the village.
"County Magistrate Zhou, Zhou Changsheng." Wang Tai whispered the county magistrate's name, and then asked, "How many people are here?"
Qian Xingshan: "County Magistrate Zhou only brought two guards."
Wang Tai breathed a sigh of relief, knowing it wasn't directed at him.
Wang Tai was not afraid that County Magistrate Zhou would target him. What he was worried about was that if County Magistrate Zhou came to arrest him, it would mean that he had already chosen sides.
Before the big picture becomes clear, Wang Tai doesn't want his father to face an opponent that is too strong.
If Zhou Changsheng didn't take sides, it meant that the Zhou family didn't take sides.
"It's okay, don't worry." After figuring this out, Wang Tai comforted Qian Xingshan.
"You all go and do your own things. You don't have to stay with me." County Magistrate Zhou couldn't help but smile when he saw that the villagers didn't say anything or leave, but just looked at him stupidly.
"Go away, everyone. Don't interfere with the county magistrate's work." Village chief Wang shouted loudly.
