“Then, make the medicine yourself.”

"Is he done?" Feng Ying, who was standing nearby, couldn't help asking nervously.

"It's not that easy."

The waiter kept shaking his head: "At the beginning, all the foreign bandits and some thieves we caught were poisoned to death! The blood from the seven orifices was scary."

"Later, the county magistrate came up with a drug called penicillin. It was really effective. People who had the plague had their symptoms greatly relieved after using it. We all agreed to use it, and the master quietly sold the drug and asked us to They all make a lot of noise outside."

"Of course, let's talk about it in the county. There will be no problem."

After all, Xu Mo secretly killed a group of death row prisoners, and he will be held responsible for this.

Qin Xiao couldn't help but ponder, last year's plague actually subsided because of the medicine given by the county magistrate?

Seeing that Qin Xiao stopped talking, the waiter stood up and said with a smile:

"Sir, I won't disturb your rest. We can't finish the deeds of our county magistrate in a while. If you stay longer, you will understand. I will take my leave."

The waiter said that and left.

Feng Ying whispered: "Your Majesty, this county magistrate seems to be very unusual."

"Well, I didn't expect that there is such a rare genius in the world hidden in the small town of Chong County."

At this time, Qin Xiao felt a little dry in the mouth, so he picked up the cup of iced black tea that the waiter had put down, drank it in one sip, and suddenly felt cool all over his body.

"Good tea!" Qin Xiao couldn't help but praise.

Qin Xiao sighed: "It's cold and sweet, clears away heat and relieves fatigue. It's strange, why have you never heard of it before?"

"It seems that the county magistrate did it again?" Feng Ying said.

"It should be." Qin Xiao nodded slowly.

Seeing Qin Xiao's move, Feng Ying tentatively said, "Then, why don't your majesty reveal his identity, call the county magistrate over, and ask him carefully?"

Qin Xiao thought for a while and shook his head: "There's no rush for now."

"This person's behavior is difficult to figure out, and he has the intention to cover up his tracks. You might as well keep a closer look."

The Great Zhou Dynasty now needs talented people to restore people's livelihood, but it must be cautious.

The requirement of employing people is to have both ability and political integrity, and virtue comes before talent.

Nothing to say that day.

Wait until the next morning.

Early in the morning, the sound of gongs was suddenly heard outside.

"What happened? Is it so busy outside?"

With many years of experience, Qin Xiao felt that something was wrong.

"Last night, the waiter in the shop said that a new brothel was opened in the city. Could it be because of this?" Feng Ying stood aside to wait on him and replied carefully.

"Go and have a look."

Qin Xiao took Feng Ying and several guards out of the inn.

I saw that the crowds were all converging in one direction.

Just as he was about to find someone to ask, an exclamation suddenly came from not far away.

"I beat people to death. I beat people to death in gambling houses."

Qin Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then walked towards the place where the crowd was surging.

The entrance to a tall gambling house.

Several strong men with big shoulders and round waists were surrounding a thin man.

The man was lying on the ground motionless.

Some brave people watching the crowd stepped forward and felt their breath, and it was so cold!

"died!"

"Hurry, officer!"

"It was those guards from the gambling den who just beat someone to death!"

The people were so frightened that they backed away and made way for a circle. The gambling house was not far from the county government office. Soon, the police officers rushed to the scene.

"Surround the gambling den and no one inside is allowed to leave!"

"Interrogate one by one!"

"Boss of the gambling house, take him back to the Yamen!"

The officials were very efficient in their work, which made Qin Xiao nod slightly.

"Well done! If the governments everywhere could act like this, the world would have been at peace long ago."

"This gambling den seems to be finished!"

"Big mistake!"

Next to him, a vendor selling pastries heard Qin Xiao's words.

"The gambling den is over? Impossible!"

"Why?"

Qin Xiao frowned, "I don't think the police officers are trying to protect the criminal."

"Covering? Of course not."

The vendor smiled.

"This is your first time coming to Chong County. I wonder if our Lord County Lord has taken a stake in this gambling house."

"Just wait for the show!"

"Yes, watch the show!"

Many local people laughed loudly when they heard the vendor's words and rushed towards the county government office.

"How can human life be treated as a child's play?!"

Qin Xiao's face darkened.

After entering Chongxian County, although the people in the county were ruthless in robbing money and killing people, considering that no one is perfect, the county magistrate may be good at governing, or he may have other hidden agendas, so he can still ignore it.

But human life is at stake, and this is a big issue of right and wrong at the bottom line.

"Could it be that this county magistrate is really a morally corrupt villain?"

Officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty openly bought shares in gambling houses, preyed on the common people, and actually beat people to death in front of everyone? !

According to Qin Xiao's temperament, he must be dealt with severely.

This kind of thing is enough for the chief officer to execute him!

How audacious!

Boom, boom, boom!

In front of the county government office, drums were beating, and everyone crowded at the door, but there was no movement.

"It is my law of the Great Zhou Dynasty that if someone beats a drum to complain about injustice, the county magistrate should hear the case immediately without delay!"

Qin Xiao waited for a while and couldn't help but get angry.

"What about the county magistrate, Xu Mo?"

"Old gentleman, please be patient."

"Li Chun Yuan has just opened today. The county magistrate must have gone to take care of business. There will definitely not be anything done right now. Please wait."

"This drumming is not to complain, it is to inform the Lord to come back quickly!"

The people watching around seemed very calm, talking and laughing.

Qin Xiao asked with a dark face, "Where is Lichun Courtyard?"

"My father-in-law, you don't know. I'll go and take a look later. I'm sure you won't forget it."

"Don't listen to his roundabout ways, that's the brothel."

"My dear, don't believe what that person said just now. The courtesan and several top names in Lichun Court must have been booked by Mr. Xu in advance. It's all in vain for you to go!"

Only then did Qin Xiao understand that the county magistrate actually went to visit the brothel in broad daylight? !

He also hired many girls!

This is simply taking national law as a child's play!

What Qin Xiao hates most in his life is this kind of ruthless official.

This kind of person, he can't wait to peel off his skin and fill it with grass.

I originally thought that I had found a parent-official who truly serves the people and is just informal, but I didn't expect him to be this kind of person.

"Master, you are also hurt by this kind of popularity. There are always other good officials."

Feng Ying secretly saw His Majesty being furious and quickly comforted him.

Qin Xiao snorted coldly and was noncommittal.

The county government door is open.

At this time, the people gathered crowded the streets, and Qin Xiao was almost squeezed by the crowd and pushed into the Yamen.

Qin Xiao's anger has reached the edge of explosion.

"How dare a small county magistrate dare to mess around openly!"

"I have been on patrol in disguise more than once, and my identity has never been exposed in public..."
