Arriving at the Yamen, he quickly dismounted.
Fortunately, people were coming in and out, and the government officials were still there.
In the street, he can still ride his horse; but here, he must dismount, because this is a government office.
"Master Xu, Master Xu, Master Xu." He shouted loudly as he ran towards the magistrate's public house.
When a servant heard Xie Zhiyong shouting, he immediately rushed towards him with a knife: "Who are you? You dare to shout here in the government office. Take it down."
"Master Cha, I am a relative and friend of Mr. Xu. I have something urgent to report to him. Please let me go." Xie Zhiyong did not expect to be stopped by the official, so he had to put himself aside and beg hard.
"This person is familiar with Mr. Xu's concierge, and I know him. You can go in, but you are not allowed to yell here." Another official looked at Xie Zhiyong, waved his right hand, and agreed to let him in, but put forward conditions.
Xie Zhiyong thanked him and hurried to Xu Yue's apartment.
The Yamen of Lingquan County is rectangular with a patio and the direction is from south to north.
It is surrounded by either cypress or pine trees, giving it an ancient feel.
The innermost part is of course the magistrate's public house, and on the left is the official house of the county magistrate, county lieutenant, and chief registrar.
Next to the right are the public rooms of the officials such as the miscellaneous room, the trial room, and the ceremonial room.
"Master Xu, Master Xu." When they arrived at the magistrate's office, Xie Zhiyong couldn't help but shout softly.
According to previous practice, the concierge should come out.
But what made Xie Zhiyong feel strange was that the concierge neither came out nor answered.
Could it be that they were discussing important matters? Xie Zhiyong couldn't help but feel a little strange.
He quickly came to the door of the magistrate's office, only to see the wooden door tightly closed.
Could it be that they had something important to do, but no one answered.
"Bang bang, bang bang", Xie Zhiyong had no choice but to step forward and knock on the door gently.
After knocking for a while, no one opened the door.
Xie Zhiyong suddenly felt an ominous feeling in his heart and had no choice but to try to open the door.
When he opened the door, he was stunned.
Not only was there no one inside, it was even very messy and not tidied up at all.
I saw that the official documents were arranged randomly here, and a teacup fell and broke into pieces. It can be said that Xu Zhixian and the others were running in a hurry.
Xie Zhiyong felt very strange that a dignified magistrate could escape like this, and no one knew about it.
How did he know that Xu Yue had just escaped, and he was still escaping secretly, so naturally no one knew about it yet.
Xie Zhiyong couldn't help but feel anxious. He wanted to find the magistrate, but the magistrate just ran away secretly.
Now, what should he, a businessman, do when he encounters this kind of thing?
It would be easier if he was just an ordinary businessman, but he was related by marriage to Xu Yue.
Should I tell someone now? Or help him hide it?
If he told others, it would obviously make Xu Yue embarrassed.
But if it was a secret, it obviously couldn't be concealed, because other people would know about it sooner or later.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh and shook his head.
He saw the county magistrate's public house again, but the door was also tightly closed.
Xie Zhiyong couldn't help but be overjoyed. The gate of the county magistrate and the gate of the county magistrate were both closed. Could it be that they also escaped in the same way?
If the county magistrate also runs away, what should I do?
Is it happy or sad? He was very complicated.
After all, Xu Yue is the uncle of their Xie family. He still hopes that the county magistrate and the chief registrar are not here, so that their Xie family and Xu family can have face.
But if all these people ran away, how could he do anything?
Thinking of this, he felt extremely conflicted.
Amidst this contradiction, he unknowingly came to the county magistrate's door and knocked gently.
Unexpectedly, the door creaked open.
The concierge was younger than him, about seventeen or eighteen years old.
Seeing the inquiring look of the concierge, Xie Zhiyong bowed his hands and said, "I am Xie Zhiyong from Chidao Xie's work section. Under the order of the shopkeeper, I have something to report to the county magistrate. I hope you can inform me."
When he heard that Xie Zhiyong was a member of the Xie family, the concierge was very polite and offered him a chair to sit down, and immediately made him a cup of tea, showing the courtesy.
The county magistrate's house is divided into two rooms. The inside is the county magistrate's office, and the outside is a place for visitors to rest and drink tea, and also a place for the concierge to sit.
Xie Zhiyong felt a little surprised. After all, he was a businessman and he didn't expect the concierge to be so polite to him.
There was also a recent copy of "Da Song China News" on the coffee table. While drinking tea, he read the contents with great interest.
After all, their place is a construction site, not a government office, and the conditions there are not as good as those in the county seat in all aspects, let alone the yamen.
Except for the shopkeeper, where is the "Da Song Zhonghua News"? Small foremen like them don't have it.
"Cheng Xiancheng, there is someone in the Xie family's work section on Chidao who wants to see you." The concierge came to the door inside and knocked gently.
Although Xie Zhiyong was reading the newspaper on the surface, his mind was actually on the county magistrate, that is, on the concierge.
He came here just to see how the government would deal with the five thousand people.
Thinking of it, not only the common people fled, but even the county magistrate was frightened and fled.
The government must resolve this matter. If it cannot be resolved, Lingquan County will be disbanded.
A young voice came from inside: "Please come in."
Xie Zhiyong couldn't help but be overjoyed and entered through the wooden door.
When he entered the public room inside, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Unexpectedly, there were not only the young county magistrate Cheng Liang but also two colorfully dressed security guards inside.
Aren't the officers and soldiers of the security group still at the construction site? Why are they here at the Yamen again?
Xie Zhiyong came to Cheng Liang with questions.
"Xie Zhiyong, please see Cheng County Cheng." Xie Zhiyong bowed respectfully.
Cheng Liangming nodded, pointed to the seat on the right in front of him, and motioned for him to sit down.
Xie Zhiyong's heart was on fire at this moment, and he couldn't think of sitting down.
He bowed his hands again, looked at Cheng Liang, and asked in a very serious tone: "Report to Cheng County Cheng, there are about five thousand barbarians at the construction site. Although they have no weapons in their hands, hoes, shovels, and wooden sticks can also be used as weapons. This is a safety hazard, what should I do?”
"This matter should be reported to the county magistrate, why should I report it to my subordinates?" Hearing Xie Zhiyong ask this, he couldn't help but be stunned and felt baffled.
As a county magistrate, he had to obey the county magistrate's arrangements.
It is because there is a magistrate above, so he cannot exceed his authority.
As an officialdom, it is a rule that deputies must obey the arrangements of the county magistrate.
Xie Zhiyong's face turned red, and he stuttered a little: "The villain... the villain. I looked for Mr. Xu, but there was no one in your private room."
"What, there's no one in your private room?" Cheng Liang couldn't believe it. He stood up from the chair with a sigh, looked at Xie Zhiyong and asked, "Are you telling the truth?"
Xie Zhiyong wished that there was a crack in the ground that he could drill into.
They had always been proud of Xu Yue as the county magistrate, but they did not expect that this magistrate would abandon his people and run away today.
If the county magistrate runs away, if the county magistrate also runs away, the eldest brother will not talk about the second brother, the results will be the same.
However, the county magistrate escaped, but the county magistrate was still working diligently.
"The villain dare not tell lies." Xie Zhiyong forgot to put down his hands, but his head was lowered and he did not dare to raise his head.
Cheng Liang stood up, forgetting to sit down, and his brain started spinning rapidly.
Suddenly he saw the two security guards in front of him, and he suddenly had an idea in his mind.
He extended his right hand to Xie Zhiyong and introduced him enthusiastically: "Zigong, come on, let me introduce you. These two are from the security regiment, one is Luo Lang, the camp leader of the security regiment, and the other is him His subordinates are Wang Gong."
Hearing him call himself Zigong, Xie Zhiyong suddenly felt inexplicably moved.
Although he belongs to the Xie family, he is also a businessman.
Now the county magistrate did not call him by his first name, but called him by his first name, showing great respect.
"I've seen Luo Zitao, the leader of Luo Camp, Mr. Wang Jun." Xie Zhiyang came to Luo Lang and bowed respectfully.
Luo Lang is not very tall, but he is very energetic and his hands are full of explosive power.
Being tall is not an advantage for cavalry, but a disadvantage.
After all, even if it is a war horse, its load-bearing capacity is also limited.
The taller the cavalry, the closer the horse can travel.
On the contrary, the shorter the cavalry, the farther the horse travels.
Luo Lang and his men didn't show any concern. They stood up in a hurry and bowed their hands in return: "Zitao has seen Zigong."
"Zitao, Zigong, let's talk about the Hu people while drinking tea." Cheng Liang looked at both parties, and said affectionately with a smile on his face.
Seeing the worried look on Xie Zhiyong's face, he kept persuading him to drink tea to ease Xie Zhiyong's nervousness.
At this time, the concierge had already brought in Xie Zhi's tea cup and added boiling water to him.
Although Xie Zhiyong drank tea, his eyes were fixed on Luo Lang, hoping to get answers from Luo Lang.
Of course Luo Lang knew Xie Zhiyong's worries, and while drinking tea, he replied: "Zigong's worries are unnecessary. The security regiment has five hundred cavalry stationed in Chidao. Now that the Hu people have no horses, how can they have the courage."
"Leader Luo Ying, although the security regiment has 500 cavalry, the number of barbarians is ten times that of yours." Xie Zhiyong was mostly relieved when he heard that there were 500 cavalry, but he was still worried.
"These barbarians were kept docile by the security team in Xi County, and they built Chidao for three months. The ferocity of the past has long since disappeared." Luo Lang smiled again, his tone full of disdain. Gu said, "According to my idea, I only sent out a hundred cavalry. However, Master Zhang felt that there were too few cavalry and he was afraid that the people would be worried, so he sent out five hundred cavalry."
Xie Zhiyong was a little disappointed when he heard that this was not arranged by the little saint.
After all, the prosperity of Lingquan County was created by the little saint. He actually didn't care about Lingquan County and only sent a chief bookkeeper to manage it.
But then I thought that the little saint had a lot of things to do, and it was quite difficult to arrange for five hundred cavalry to come to control the situation.
"Leader Luo Ying, Director Zhang is right. The cavalry of the security regiment here cannot be missing. Chengdu has been harmed by barbarians for many years. The sight of barbarians will scare them." Xie Zhiyong was too anxious when he heard that if there were only a hundred cavalry, , hurriedly confirmed Master Zhang’s arrangement.
Seeing the worry on Xie Zhiyong's face, Luo Lang nodded: "That's fine, the five hundred cavalry will stay in Lingquan County."
"Then thank Luo Ying for your hard work." After hearing Luo Lang's answer, Xie Zhiyong finally felt relieved.
"Yong Liang, I'm here to say a few words. Please excuse me. I wanted to see Xu Zhixian, but I didn't expect to be so disappointed." Luo Lang couldn't help but sigh, his tone full of regret.
Seeing that Luo Lang was about to leave, Xie Zhiyong couldn't help but feel anxious. Although Chidao Wendao had been solved, the problem in the county seat had not yet been solved.
He did not dare to stop Luo Lang, but bowed his hands to Luo Lang: "Leader Luo Ying, people in the county are in panic now. Many people heard that the barbarians have arrived here and left the county one after another. What should we do?"
After all, the magistrate of Lingquan County does not belong to Xu Yue. Although he is not here, he wants to restore the influence as much as possible.
"This, this was originally a matter of Xuzhi County. Zi Tao came here just to chat with acquaintances. Now that Xu Zhi County is not here, Zi Tao has to go back and look after the Hu people to prevent the Hu people from really causing trouble." Luo Lang shook his head and said He thanked Zhiyong with a solemn salute and left.
Seeing that Luo Lang didn't respond, Xie Zhiyong couldn't help but become anxious, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
His eyes moved quickly and he bowed his hands to Cheng Liang: "Cheng Xiancheng, people in Lingquan County are in chaos now, and the government needs to take action. What should we do?"
