"In two days, open the granary and stock up on food. If one more person starves to death in these two days, I will beat you one more time."
"Good man, good man!" The county magistrate was trampled under his feet, "I'll let him go, I'll let him go!"
But that's not what he had in mind.
What he wanted was to stabilize Huo Yingwei first, and then kill him.
Anyway, he has done this kind of thing more than once.
Huo Yingwei looked at him with a smile, "Are you planning to deal with me first and then kill me?"
The county magistrate was confused.
Huo Yingwei kicked him away again.
He had seen something like this happen more than once.
If you want to play tricks on him, stop dreaming!
"Hero, stop fighting!"
The magistrate began to beg for mercy.
"Hero, why are you doing this?"
The county magistrate made a flattering look, "How about this, we in the warehouse, we divide it half and half! How about you take the money and leave?"
The amount of money he embezzled was not a small amount.
He was sure that no one could resist such temptation.
Huo Yingwei sneered, "Do you know who I am?"
The magistrate shook his head.
He really doesn't know.
He has been a local emperor in this place for a long time, and I really don’t know anyone who is so brave and can go against him.
Huo Yingwei leaned down and patted his pale face covered with sweat beads.
"Huo Yingwei, have you heard of it?"
"Huo Yingwei... Huo..." The county magistrate's eyes suddenly widened, "Prince Huo?!"
There is only one king with a different surname in the whole world.
His status is below one person and above ten thousand people.
The county magistrate's cold sweat soaked all over his body.
He never imagined how Prince Huo could come to such a place!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty... I'm a lowly official who doesn't recognize Mount Tai. Please spare my life, Your Majesty! Please spare your life, Your Majesty!"
At this moment, he had no doubt about Huo Yingwei's authenticity.
After all, there are not many people in the world who dare to come forward so arrogantly.
Huo Yingwei stared at his face, "Do you know what you want to do?"
"I know, I know!" The county magistrate said with a cold sweat on his face.
Seeing that Huo Yingwei stopped attacking, he got up from the ground.
"I wonder why, my lord, you have come all this way?"
the magistrate asked cautiously.
"Find someone."
Huo Yingwei didn't intend to avoid anyone.
He took out Le Fan's portrait from his arms, "Have you seen this woman?"
The county magistrate looked at the painting carefully for a long time.
Then, he showed an extremely flattering look on his face.
"I have never seen this woman before, but if you want a good-looking woman, my lord, please contact me... Ouch!"
He screamed again and was kicked to the ground.
Huo Yingwei said coldly: "Since you don't know, then shut up."
Huo Yingwei decided that he would take charge of this matter.
The county magistrate, who finally got up from the ground, said flatteringly: "Then if the prince doesn't dislike it, why not live here in Xiaguan... Xiaguan..."
"No need." Huo Yingwei refused without thinking.
Are you kidding me? Stay here and give him a chance to kill himself?
What if he thinks he's desperate and poisons himself?
He also carries a small orb, so be careful with everything.
We found an inn on the street and Huo Yingwei stayed in it temporarily.
Before leaving, he did not forget to warn him again.
If he couldn't be seen opening the warehouse to release grain within two days, he wouldn't mind beating him a hundred and eighty times.
The county magistrate laughed with him all the way and sent him away.
As soon as Huo Yingwei left, he hurriedly locked the door and found the master.
When the master came, he was very surprised to see his bruised nose and swollen face.
"Master, what are you..."
"Oh, we're afraid we'll offend someone we shouldn't offend!"
The county magistrate told today's events exactly as they were.
The master touched his mustache and said, "Master, are you sure he is really the prince?"
"It should be certain."
He's so arrogant, and he's not here for money at all. Who else could he be if he wasn't a prince?
"Let me think about it..."
The master touched his beard and narrowed his eyes little by little.
The county magistrate urged him, "Quickly think of an idea on how to please him and stop him from settling a score with us!"
The master shook his head, "Master, I'm afraid this matter cannot be handled this way."
The master lowered his voice, "If he is really the prince, even if we open the warehouse to release grain, he will definitely report to the emperor when he returns to the capital. When the time comes, you have to..."
He made a beheading gesture.
The county magistrate took a deep breath, "Then, what should we do?!"
The master said gloomily: "In my opinion, we might as well... kill him quietly!"
This place is so far away from the capital. Even if he died, the news would not reach the capital for a while.
Besides, the only people who can best keep secrets are dead people.
If you want to ensure 100% safety, you have to kill him!
"Is this... okay?"
It's not that the county magistrate couldn't do it, but Huo Yingwei was really skilled, so it would be difficult to send someone to kill him.
"Master, are you stupid?"
The master chuckled, "If we let him die on his own, wouldn't that be enough?"
"Death by yourself..." The county magistrate suddenly came to his senses, "You mean?!"
"That's right, isn't he looking for a girl? Let's just say we found it, just in the south, and wait until we trick her... Hey, isn't this the end of it?!"
A smile gradually appeared on the county magistrate's face.
He slapped the master and said, "It has to be you! This is a great idea!"
He can't kill him, but if he gets infected with the plague and dies here, then it's none of his business, right?
"That's it!"
the next day.
Early in the morning.
Food was quickly delivered to various soup kitchen shacks.
This speed was so fast that it was beyond Huo Yingwei's imagination.
only……
Little Baozhu stood up on tiptoes and touched Huo Yingwei's forehead.
"Dad, why are you frowning?"
Huo Yingwei smiled and said, "Nothing."
He didn't know what to say to Xiao Baozhu.
He always felt that there was something fishy about this matter.
That county magistrate really doesn't look like a good person.
In his expectation, he should think of ways to do everything possible to make himself fall in line with him, instead of listening to him so quickly.
What are they planning?
While Huo Yingwei was deep in thought, there was a knock on the inn door.
"Your Majesty!"
The magistrate came in with a smile.
"I'm here to give you some snacks. They're all made at home. They're delicious."
After saying that, he took out the silver needle himself and tested them one by one.
"I'm a lowly official, but I don't dare to harm the young lady."
Xiao Baozhu looked at him and turned away.
She didn't like this fat uncle, and the snacks he took felt dirty.
She doesn't want to eat it.
"If you have something to say, just say it, don't play with these vain people." Huo Yingwei said impatiently.
"Yes, yes." The county magistrate nodded repeatedly, "My lord, weren't you looking for a girl earlier?"
"I sent someone to look for it immediately yesterday, and guess what, I found it!"
