Concubine Xian, Wei Chixi and the whole family’s villains all collapsed after reading my mind

When the magistrate's carriage arrived outside Caoyang County, the driver stopped and said, "Master Magistrate, we can't go further ahead."

The magistrate lifted up the car curtain and looked up. The land he saw was cracked, dry, and stained with dark red. He didn't know whose blood it was. There were some weeds growing sparsely on the land. Looking at it, It’s just that no one has lived here for a long time.

The magistrate looked at the bones outside Caoyang County and trembled with fright, "So miserable?"

Coachman: ...

As expected, you are the prefect, and you don’t know the sufferings of the world.

"Yes."

The coachman sighed, feeling as if a rabbit had died and a fox had died, "You have also seen the living environment here. People cannot survive here."

"Those houses have long been uninhabitable, and the food is gone. You see, the bark of the trees is gone."

"Some people who can't walk away from here can only stay here to chew the bark of the tree. When the bark is gone, what else can they eat?"

The prefect knew nothing, "What else can you eat? You can't eat dirt, right?"

"Yes." The coachman nodded, "Some people die from eating dirt, and some people die from eating the dead people."

"Yue——" The prefect's expression changed, and he retched while holding the carriage.

Coachman: You can’t stand this?

"Master Prefect, if you want to go in, you can only go in by yourself."

The prefect was scared to death, "I won't go."

"Well, the people I arranged will come here tomorrow. It's very miserable. Caoyang County is very miserable. I already know it."

"Okay, okay, let's go back!"

The prefect lowered the car curtain.

The driver hummed, turned the horse's head, and took him away from here.

The carriage had gone a long way, and the magistrate finally came to his senses. He had never seen this place before, and he didn't expect the people in Caoyang County to be so miserable...

It's over, it's over, we have to make amends quickly, otherwise his job will be at risk!

The prefect immediately arranged for people to repair the land in Caoyang County. This project alone would take three months.

Magistrate:…

Three months? The day lilies are cold!

He had no choice but to add more money and let them hurry up and finish it within a month!

After repairing the land, a house still needs to be built. The prefect took a look at the bills of his house and felt very sad.

The emperor asked him to use his private treasury to repair it. Did he dare to say no?

When the staff heard that he was worried about this matter recently, they gave him some advice, "You can rob the rich and give to the poor!"

"It's impossible that there are no bandit dens near Caoyang County. You can go and capture a few bandit dens, and won't you have the money?"

"You can wait until the bandits rob the landowner before arresting them. That way you will have more money."

The prefect reached out and patted his shoulder, "I really saw you right!"

"You have such a good mind!"

"Okay, okay, just do as you say!"

In this way, he can be regarded as getting justice, and he doesn't have to pay for it himself. It's the best of both worlds.

"It's just that those bandits who have cooperated with me before should not touch them."

The prefect was also worried that they would jump over the wall in a hurry.

"Yes, don't worry." The staff gave him a reassuring look and went down to handle this matter.

Within a few days, the prefect got good news. His staff successfully captured several bandit dens. These bandit dens had just robbed landlords and bosses, and they had a lot of money.

The prefect was extremely happy, but before he was happy for two days, the minister arrived here with the people of Caoyang County.

The prefect hurriedly went to greet him, and the minister reprimanded him in front of the people. He stood and accepted the reprimand obediently. When the people all left, the minister glanced at him, sighed, and walked inside.

The prefect quickly followed, "Brother!"

"No, I can't afford it!" The minister quickly clarified the relationship, "You and I are not related by blood, so don't yell!"

"Yes, sir..." the prefect rubbed his hands, "I wonder, what does the emperor think of this matter?"

"Do you think I can still be saved?"

The minister told him the truth, "Let me tell you directly. If you can handle this matter and resign voluntarily, you might still be able to survive."

"The emperor is very angry about this!"

"I even received a scolding from the emperor!"

The prefect's face was full of flattery, "My lord, you have suffered. It's because I didn't do it well. It's because I didn't do it well." As he said that, he gave himself a few gentle slaps.

Minister: Can you be a little sincere?

I'll hit you really hard, your face won't even turn red, what the hell are you doing!

"Okay, let's not mention these for now. Please report to me how the progress is now? I will also write to the emperor later!"

"Yes!" The prefect quickly told what he had done recently.

"You're doing quite well." The minister was a little surprised, "Can't you do this well?"

"What have you done so far?"

"Weren't you reluctant to give up money before?" The prefect chuckled, "It cost a lot of money. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to apply for it and would have to subsidize it myself, so I didn't report it."

Minister: You are really smart!

"For such a small amount of money, you don't even have to give up your hat. You are so capable."

"Okay, since you have almost done everything, I will also praise you in the letter."

"Hey! Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!" The prefect rubbed his hands excitedly.

The minister waved his hand, and before he could say anything more, the prefect's staff rushed over in a hurry, his face pale, "It's not good, it's not good!!"

The prefect glared at him, "Didn't you see the master here? When did you get so panicked?!"

The aide leaned into his ear and whispered, "Some of the goods that the bandits are targeting belong to Ji Xinyue!!"

"Ji Xinyue? Who is it?" The prefect frowned. He had never heard of a name before. What was he afraid of?

"Dai Changdong's wife!!" The staff was convinced by him. Can you write down the names of the family members of those high officials?

The prefect's heart skipped a beat, "What?"

"Are they crazy?!"

"They dare to touch Dai Changdong's wife's goods!!"

The staff wanted to cry, "Not only that, the goods were sold by us, and we also used the money!"

"Now, Dai Changdong has come..."

Magistrate: ...It’s over.

The minister on the side:...

He turned around and ran away to climb a tree.

The prefect quickly called him, "Sir, sir, wait, what are you doing?!"

"Just pretend that I have never been to your house today!" The minister climbed up the tree and the wall. Hehe, he didn't want Dai Changdong to think that they were in the same group, otherwise he would be in trouble.

Dai Changdong's thing is to protect his shortcomings, especially about his wife! !

The most important thing is that Dai Changdong is loved by the emperor and the little princess! !

Magistrate, let's go!

I won’t give it away!

Normally he would not dare to jump from such a high wall, but today he has the courage to jump down decisively, even if he has a sprained foot, he has to limp out of here!

Magistrate:? ? ?

The prefect ran over and opened the back door to look at the lame man. "If you want to leave, just walk through the door. Why do you have to climb the wall?"

Minister: ...You didn’t tell me if you had a chance!

"My pleasure!"

"Remember, you haven't seen me today!"

The minister ran faster.

The prefect asked, "Why is he running away in such a hurry?"

Staff, "What do you think?"

The prefect said, "If it's broken, I have to run too!"

Dai Changdong's gentle laughter came from behind, "Where are you going, Lord Magistrate?"

Magistrate:…

It's broken and he can't run away.
