"Girl, you don't know something."
"The King of Qin is a good man, and he is a great good man. It is a blessing for us common people to have the Northern Territory under the rule of the King of Qin."
"But the problem is that the county magistrate is also a good official."
"It's just that he has a bad temper, and he has always been very prejudiced against King Qin. Especially when King Qin returned to the north this time, the county magistrate even threatened that King Qin is...is..."
Seeing that the vegetable vendor seemed to have something to hide, Qin Feng quickly comforted him softly.
"Say it boldly. We are all outsiders, so naturally we won't cause you any trouble."
After making sure that Qin Feng would not betray him, the vegetable vendor mustered up his courage and whispered: "The county magistrate said... King Qin is a traitor."
The word "traitor" did have a certain lethal effect on Qin Feng.
He worked hard for the Northern Territory. Even if he parted ways with the court, he was not only doing it for his family, but also for the local people.
If the imperial court controls the Northern Territory, then all the wealth in the Northern Territory will flow to Kyoto.
It won't be long before the Northern Territory will be drained dry, and the local people will have to live a miserable life again.
Qin Feng's good intentions were rewarded with the label of "traitor", which made him feel a little depressed.
However, Qin Feng stopped Xie Yun'er and others immediately, fearing that they would be angry and directly demolish Anyuan County.
Qin Feng looked at the vegetable vendor and said with a wry smile: "The Anyuan County Magistrate was appointed by the imperial court and received royal salary for many years. It makes sense to regard the King of Qin as a traitor."
"I wonder what the old gentleman thinks? Do you also think that King Qin is a traitor?"
The vegetable vendor raised his hand and waved it repeatedly: "Hey!"
"As you say, don't we, the common people, know what kind of person King Qin is?"
"If it weren't for King Qin, how could we have the good life we have now?"
"Compared to the imperial court, we prefer to live under the rule of King Qin."
"But this is Anyuan County after all. Not far to the south, you will leave the northern border. Living here, you will naturally be affected by the imperial court."
"But no matter what, if one day King Qin goes to war with the imperial court, I, an old man, will naturally support King Qin."
As soon as these words came out, the anger of Xie Yun'er and others finally subsided, and their expressions returned to their previous calmness.
Qin Feng also showed a smile, these words are enough!
At least it proves that all Qin Feng's efforts are worth it.
Compared to the people, Qin Feng didn't care what other so-called officials thought of Qin Feng. As long as the people thought he was trustworthy, that was enough.
Qin Feng took out a tael of silver and handed it to the vegetable seller. He chuckled and said, "Thank you, old sir."
The vegetable seller smiled and collected the money, not surprised by the two pieces of silver.
This calmness made Qin Feng even more gratified.
This proves that one tael of silver is not a big sum for the people in the north. It also proves that the lives of the people in the north are getting better and better.
After saying goodbye to the vegetable vendor, Qin Feng stopped staying and walked directly towards the county government office.
When they arrived at the county government gate, two government officials quickly stepped forward and blocked Qin Feng's way.
"Who is it? Why are you visiting the county government office?"
Faced with the interrogation by the government officials, Qin Feng was not unambiguous and directly winked at Zhao Zhenhai.
Zhao Zhenhai understood and immediately identified himself.
"The King of Qin has arrived, why don't you hurry up and let your master come out to pay his respects!"
Hearing this, the official looked Qin Feng up and down. Although the man in front of him was fairly well-dressed, he was far from the legendary King of Qin.
"King of Qin? If you are the king of Qin, I will be your majesty!"
"Hurry up, or I'll put you in jail and you'll get a lot of good things from me."
Seeing that the officer was so bold, Zhao Zhenhai didn't hesitate and lifted up his robe, revealing the waist knife inside, and said coldly: "Do you believe it now?"
This waist knife is extremely well made, and you can tell at a glance that it is not something that ordinary people can wear.
While the officer was stunned, a dozen guards from the Tianji Camp who were accompanying him opened their clothes one after another, revealing the armor underneath.
They shouted in unison: "Do you believe it now?!"
The officer's expression changed drastically!
The young man in front of him was not only accompanied by guards with swords, but also more than a dozen soldiers wearing armor and plain clothes. Who else could he be besides the King of Qin?
"Oh my god! It's really King Qin!"
"What are you still doing? Go and call the master."
The frightened government official next to him came to his senses and ran in stumblingly.
The yamen official who had shown off his power before was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed as if he was pounding garlic.
"The young man was so blind that he didn't recognize King Qin. Please ask King Qin to atone for his sins."
Naturally, Qin Feng would not be as knowledgeable as a small official, so he walked in directly.
At the same time, Chen Huai, the magistrate of Anyuan County, was sitting in his study, writing furiously. The contents of his letters were all about exposing Qin Feng's evil deeds to the court.
Chen Huai and Qin Feng had no personal hatred. The reason why they did this was purely because their Chen family had received favor from the emperor.
However, in Chen Huai's generation, the family declined and he could only serve as a small county magistrate in the north.
Even so, Chen Huai still did not forget to repay Daliang for his cultivation.
Although as the magistrate of the northern border, impeaching Qin Feng was a bit impatient, Chen Huai still had to do it and had no fear.
Even the madam couldn't stand it anymore and kept begging.
"Master, just calm down. You are so good, why do you have to impeach the King of Qin?"
"Even you are a county magistrate under the rule of King Qin. How can you have a subordinate to impeach your master?"
Hearing this, Chen Huai couldn't help but slapped the brush on the table, turned around and angrily yelled at Mrs. Chen.
"Asshole!"
"I am an official of Daliang. When did I become Qin Feng's official?"
"Even Qin Feng's King of the North was canonized by His Majesty. Now that Qin Feng is in power and has completely broken with the imperial court, what is the difference between it and treason?"
"Since I am an official in Daliang, I will never sit idly by and ignore it. If Qin Feng is not impeached, I will not be able to sleep well even if I sleep."
Mrs. Chen's face was full of despair. Once these things reached Qin Feng's ears, Qin Feng might not come to deal with Chen Huai, but those around Qin Feng were not easy-going people.
Isn't this just a good life, and you have to seek death?
"Master, why are you so stubborn?"
"Even if Qin Feng betrayed the imperial court, it does not mean that he betrayed Daliang. If it were not for Qin Feng, how could Beijing be what it is today? How could Daliang be what it is today?"
"Today's so-called impeachment has turned into repaying kindness with hatred."
Chen Huaigang wanted to refute, but he swallowed his words again. After all, there is no doubt about Qin Feng's contribution. Even Chen Huai would never deny Qin Feng's contribution to Daliang.
But as a Daliang official, he had to impeach Qin Feng, so he had no choice!
Just at this moment, the official ran over and said, "Sir, it's not good, the King of Qin is here."
