Qin Feng returned to Beixi County and lived peacefully for only half a month before leaving the city gate again and heading south.
He seemed to never be able to rest. He had developed a habit of running around and fighting for a long time, so that letting Qin Feng stay in one place for a long time was even more uncomfortable than killing him.
However, this time, Qin Feng did not leave the northern border, but went to Anyuan County, the southernmost county in the northern border.
The heads of the bandits killed before were hung in Anyuan County for public display, which meant that Qin Feng had already noticed this county.
If Emperor Liang used troops against the northern border in the future, he would naturally not be able to bypass Anyuan County.
Qin Feng planned to take matters into his own hands and build Anyuan County into a key town to prepare for a rainy day.
But when Qin Feng arrived at the county gate, he couldn't help but frown.
According to the rules, any human head that is hung for public display must be hung for at least a month to serve as a warning to the world.
Less than twenty days had passed since the bandits were wiped out, but not a single human head was seen outside the gate of Anyuan County.
After asking, I found out that Chen Huai, the magistrate of Anyuan County, did not carry out Qin Feng's order at all. He simply hung up for three days and then took care of it.
When Qin Feng came to Anyuan County this time, he did not mobilize any troops. He only had Zhao Zhenhai, Shen Qingci, Xie Yun'er, and a dozen Tianji Battalion guards around him.
After all, we are on our own territory, so there is no need to make excuses.
In addition, everyone was wearing casual clothes, so even though they were already at the city gate, it didn't cause any waves.
In order to find out what was going on, Qin Feng directly went to the Shoumen County soldiers to inquire about the situation.
The other person is a young man in his twenties, and his face is quite friendly.
"Little brother, I'd like to ask you something. I heard before that King Qin killed hundreds of bandits and transported all their heads to Anyuan County for public display."
"We came here because of the reputation, but why didn't we see a single human head when we arrived in Anyuan County?"
Faced with Qin Feng's inquiry, and because Qin Feng was surrounded by many people, he expected to have some background, so the county soldiers were polite.
"Young master, you don't know. Our county magistrate was afraid that the heads would frighten the women and children, so we only hung them for three days before taking them all down and burying them on the spot."
Speaking of this, the county soldier pointed to the wasteland not far away: "Did you see that piece of new soil? They are all buried there."
Qin Feng felt a lot better after learning that the Anyuan County Magistrate was not disobeying the order intentionally, but for the sake of the people.
However, he still asked: "According to the rules, it should be shown to the public for a month. If the Anyuan County magistrate is so perfunctory, isn't he afraid that the King of Qin will blame him?"
Hearing this, the county soldier couldn't help but laugh: "What are you afraid of?"
"Our county magistrate is famous for being brave and not afraid of anyone!"
"And what King Qin said made our county magistrate angry."
The county soldier's words immediately attracted everyone's attention. Before Qin Feng could speak, Xie Yun'er frowned slightly and asked softly.
"I wonder what King Qin said that made your county magistrate so excited?"
The county soldier didn't think much about it and said bluntly: "What else could it be? Of course, he will be dismissed and investigated."
"Although King Qin is the King of the North, he was granted the title by His Majesty after all. Logically speaking, his fiefdom is only Beixi County. For other counties, he has no power to appoint or remove him."
"And our county magistrate also said that King Qin's move would be suspected of being disobedient."
Speaking of this, the county soldier said half-jokingly: "According to the county magistrate's temper, I'm afraid he has already submitted a letter to the court to impeach the King of Qin."
So fresh!
Xie Yun'er was immediately laughed out of anger. If it weren't for Qin Feng's painstaking efforts, the northern border would still be a barren land.
It can be said that without Qin Feng, the North would not be what it is today.
As a result, there are still people in the northern land who don't want to see Qin Feng so much.
Xie Yuner felt that she was not worthy of Qin Feng from the bottom of her heart. She was about to refute it, but Qin Feng reached out to stop him.
Qin Feng was very interested in the Anyuan County magistrate, and at the same time he was secretly glad that he took the time to visit Anyuan County.
Otherwise, if Daliang sends troops to the north in the future, the Anyuan County magistrate will have already opened the city gate to welcome the king's division before the war begins.
Qin Feng thanked the county soldiers, then led everyone into Anyuan County and went straight to the county government office.
On the way to the county government office, the streetscape of Anyuan County also came into view.
Whether it is the level of prosperity or the seemingly repaired streets, they are similar to other counties in the north and there is nothing special about them.
In this way, although Anyuan County Magistrate is not a capable official, he is at least not bad.
In order to find out who the Anyuan County magistrate was, Qin Feng squatted on the roadside and asked a vegetable seller: "Old sir, can I ask you about someone?"
The vegetable seller looked Qin Feng up and down, and when he saw that this man was well-dressed and well-dressed, with many people following behind him, he knew that he had a good background.
He nodded quickly and responded: "Who do you want to inquire about, Master?"
Qin Feng blurted out: "The magistrate of this county."
Hearing this, the vegetable seller immediately became vigilant: "Who are you? Why do you want to inquire about the county magistrate?"
"I'm just a vegetable seller. I don't know anything. You'd better ask others."
Seeing the huge contrast between the vegetable seller's front and back, Qin Feng once suspected that Anyuan County Magistrate was also a ruthless master who could eat people without spitting out their bones. Otherwise, how could he scare the local people like this? His expression changes when he talks about the county magistrate.
Qin Feng quickly changed his tone.
"Old sir, don't think too much. We are just here for the first time, and we planned to go to the county government office to set up a road guide. But we spent a lot of money on the way there, and we are really scared."
"Before entering the county government office, you should first understand the behavior and style of the local county magistrate. Then you can spend less money, right?"
It turned out that this was what happened. The vegetable vendor breathed a sigh of relief and smiled again.
"You should have told me earlier!"
"Don't worry, our county magistrate is not a corrupt official. He has always fulfilled his duties. Just go ahead and do it. You will never be asked to spend any extra money."
Qin Feng became even more confused when he learned that the county magistrate had a good reputation among the people.
Since the county magistrate is not bad, why did the vegetable seller change his expression just now?
"Old sir, don't fool me. If the county magistrate is so easy to talk to, why did you avoid talking to him just now?"
"Are you the county government's trustee?"
Upon hearing this, the vegetable seller's face suddenly fell, and he said angrily: "How can you talk?"
"I was kind enough to help you with some guidance, but you turned the tables on me."
"The reason why I don't want to mention the county magistrate is just because I'm worried... you are the King of Qin's people."
Qin Feng's heart moved, and he secretly sighed that there was something going on here.
Xie Yun'er couldn't help it anymore: "What's wrong with King Qin? King Qin will never attack any good official. If the county magistrate behaves uprightly, why should he be afraid of King Qin?"
"Is it possible that someone is here to ruin King Qin's reputation?"
Seeing Xie Yun'er's reaction, the vegetable vendor couldn't help but smile bitterly.
