On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, at noon, the sun is shining brightly.

Liu Yi and his party, led by Gongsun Haojin, swam through the thick snow, twisting and turning, and finally stood at the south gate of Zhangwu County, Zhangwu County.

As a county seat with the same administrative level as Lingyuan City, Zhangwucheng has its own advantages. According to the "Han Law: City Construction Chapter": the prefecture seat is ten miles square; the auxiliary city is eight miles square; the county seat is six miles

For counties, it is four or five miles square. The central finance department allocates funds uniformly, and the Prime Minister's Office, the Prefecture and Mufu's Office, and the three departments of the Central Bureau supervise the construction, and no unauthorized modifications are allowed.

The six-mile-square Zhangwu City suddenly rises from the ground on the north side of the Lingyuan Mountains. It is majestic and majestic. It has all the defense equipment on the city. The moat is deep and wide, especially the city gate is like a terrifying dragon.

The word "Zhangwu" in the name, at a glance, you can directly feel the strong folk customs of Saibei and the aura of weapons that are always ready for war.

Compared with Lingyuan County, the seat of Huaxing County, Liu Yi's hometown, this majestic Zhangwu City, the urban construction and defense of Lingyuan City seems petty!

Several people stood at the gate of the city, feeling really emotional. Until Liu Yi shivered, Gongsun Haojin became very proud, waved his little hand and shouted, "Open the city gate."

The city gate was very obedient and opened with a creak.

When he arrived at his own territory, the Third Young Master Gongsun swept away his bad luck, put his hands behind his back, held his head high, and walked in leisurely with small steps.

"Not to mention, with this good skin and these steps that look like a human and a dog, you really have the style of a master!"

Young people are always frivolous, and this girl Dongfang Yu has been chattering all the way, and she hasn't stopped talking yet.

As Liu Yi walked away, he joked, "Hey! What Yu Mei said is true, but the appearance of these three young masters is slightly inferior to that of Yi Xian, let alone me! Haha."

Yi Xian was very dissatisfied with Liu Yi's shamelessness, and he said at the right time, "tui! It's as black as a piece of charcoal, and you are shameless to compare with others!"

Dongfang Yu grinned and was about to reply when suddenly there was a young man who looked like a beggar running straight towards the south gate. The county soldiers hurriedly tried to stop the young man, but because the young man was walking too fast, they had no time to grab him and watched eagerly.

He followed the beggar and rushed towards the people who were about to enter the city.

Death Shichen hurriedly shouted, "Get out of the way!" The group of people dodged to the left and right, and a path suddenly opened up in the center of the city gate. Just when the beggar-like young man was about to pass by everyone, Liu Yi held him in his arms.

He took out a handful of fruit and stretched out his hand towards the path. The young man grabbed it and ran out of the city!

"Mom! This is a master!" Death Shichen clicked his tongue twice, looking at the young man running further and further away. "At such a young age, he is so good at his feet. He must be a martial arts wizard. If he meets a good teacher,

If you practice hard, you will become a martial arts master in the future."

"My child, why don't you send someone to chase him? If that child is also infected with the plague, wouldn't it be a big deal if the infection spreads?" Dongfang Chunsheng looked at Gongsun Haojin, feeling a little worried.

"Seniors don't know something. Although the infected person may feel weak at first and have sores all over his body, the onset of the disease is beyond imagination. In one hour, the infected person's whole body will be reddish. In two hours, he will be paralyzed and fall to the ground. As for life and death,

, it only lasts for seven or eight days. If the physical condition is slightly worse, he will die in one day and one night. If this kid had been infected with the plague, he would have been weak and unable to move. He would not be able to run so fast! So I concluded that this kid

He has not contracted the plague and is a healthy person. Besides, if one of them escapes, it will not affect the overall situation!"

After Gongsun Haojin pretended to be smart, he wrapped himself in a fox fur and skillfully took a few pieces of white cloth mixed with the smell of alcohol and medicine from the guards guarding the gate, and handed them to everyone.

Regarding Gongsun Haojin's remarks, the group of people gave different feedbacks. Xia Qing and Shi Chen felt that it was irrelevant for a normal person to escape. Dongfang Chunsheng and Yi Xian felt that such a closure of the city was a bit hasty. The group was noisy.

We talked to each other, and after wrapping our faces in white cloth to cover our mouths and noses, we entered the city under the leadership of Gongsun Haojin.

In the city, there was no hardship as everyone thought. There were people on the streets in an orderly manner, there were people in the market, there were customers in the wine shops, and there was meat in every house. Except for everyone wearing white scarves, the atmosphere was still prosperous.

Gongsun Haojin continued to raise his head and clasp his hands, and led the people through the market with great arrogance. Among them, there were many ruffians who flattered him and called him "Brother Gongsun", and there were also many farmers who called "Young Master Gongsun" honestly.

, Gongsun Haojin's face showed the look of an elder who has seen through the vicissitudes of the world, and he waved and nodded in response.

Walking to an open space with few people, Gongsun Haojin sighed heavily and said, "According to custom, the market should have opened on the fifth day of the lunar month to break the taboo. However, due to the severe plague this year, Master Fan made the exception for the sake of the livelihood of hundreds of workers.

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the market is allowed to sell goods, so that poor people can earn some food."

Gongsun Haojin turned around silently and said in a low voice, "Aunt Huan Yue, who sells cloth shoes, is not very good at knitting cloth shoes, but her roast chicken is excellent. Unfortunately, she contracted the plague a few days ago and went west yesterday morning!

Some of my very good playmates are gone too! I don’t know how to get over this damn plague.”

Everyone, who had just been aroused by the lively scene of the market, felt heavy-hearted once again suppressed by Gongsun Haojin's sorrow, and fell silent.

Liu Yi walked up to Gongsun Haojin, frowned and asked, "Brother Gongsun, since ancient times, during great plagues, doors have always been closed, and fireworks have been cut off to control the situation and wait for good news. Why is this place open every day and crowded with pedestrians?"

,Isn’t this very different from the traditional way of handling it?”

Gongsun Haojin looked like an elder, and the two big black dogs behind him also followed suit. He pretended to be mysterious and said, "This great plague is not contagious, but why it started is unknown, so

Only Mr. Fan dares to open the ban on the market. Different things have different methods. Brother Liu, you still don’t have enough experience!"

"Bah! My brother Yi has read more books than you have eaten, and the road I have walked is longer than the noodles you have eaten. Don't show off to me here. Believe it or not, I will kill you.

Your front teeth."

Gongsun Haojin might just be joking, but seeing the good-for-nothing young master Kuo, whom she had only known for a while, dare to tease her brother Yi like this, Dongfang Yu felt unhappy and immediately bared her teeth and claws at him, showing her 'tiger fangs'.

"I..., I rarely eat noodles. After all, who eats noodles when there is wine and meat?"

Gongsun Haojin, who has always been arrogant and domineering, met the brutal and domineering Dongfang Yu. He was not convinced, but after a brief contact with him and he didn't understand the other person's details and temperament, he didn't know how to respond.

"Who cares how you eat every day? You just eat chaff and drink water, and it has nothing to do with me!" Dongfang Yufeng glared and crossed his arms with a look of disdain.

Gongsun Haojin was so angry that he couldn't even fight or win.

In a fit of anger, he shouted, "Follow me to find Mr. Fan," and then walked away.

Compared with the city, Huaxing Lingyuan City is slightly inferior, but compared to the mansion, the Zhangwu County Sheriff's Mansion is comparable to the Huaxing County Sheriff's Mansion that you should know.

Walking into the Sheriff's Mansion, the entire foyer was dilapidated, with little paint on the pilasters. After entering the main entrance, everyone felt that the word "shabby" was everywhere in the mansion. It seemed a bit out of place against the bustling brocade on the street.

If it weren't for the small officials coming and going in the mansion, no one would believe that this is the governor's mansion of Zhangwu County, the richest county in Bozhou.

According to Gongsun Haojin on the way, the county governor's mansion and the county barracks are both located here, forming a self-contained inner city. The shouting and killing drills never stop during the day. In recent years, Fan Tingnan has spent more money on raising and training soldiers.

Very little was spent on purchasing farming tools and repairing the mansion. It is no wonder that the governor's mansion is old and has no appearance.

Only the feet know whether the shoes fit well or not; when you are an official, you are not for the people, only the people know.

Fan Tingnan did not pursue appearance but sought practical results. This move deeply won the support of the people, officers and soldiers!
