Chapter 69

"Sir, you were suddenly removed from the position of county magistrate and even removed from the position of temporary county magistrate. Is it because you have no money to bribe Taishan County Magistrate? Don't worry, although we are not able to resist the order of Taishan County Magistrate, we can pay. Each of us raises money and asks you to give Taishan County Magistrate. How much money is needed, you can just say."

In his words, there is sincerity, reluctance, and even more respect for Wang Yan.

Wang Yan felt warm in his heart and sore in his eyes.

This group of people really made him reluctant to leave. But he was reluctant to leave after all, and he still wanted to leave. After all, the new county magistrate would arrive in Nancheng County today, and the order could not be changed.

Wang Yan took a deep breath, walked out of the carriage, stood on the shaft and raised his hand to signal the people present to calm down. Suddenly, waves of "shuffing" sounds came out, and the people reminded the people around him to be quiet.

After a while, the streets became completely quiet.

At this moment, there was no noise in the street except for breathing.

The environment of this era is very different from that of later generations. The large, middle and small cities in later generations are full of traffic. When you stand in it, you will feel endless noise, and your ears are always buzzing. But at this moment, the surroundings are silent.

A pair of eyes stared at Wang Yan.

There is expectation and respect in my eyes.

Wang Yan took a deep breath again and said loudly: "The villagers come from all directions. No matter what, thank you, thank you." He bent down and bowed straight to 90 degrees to express his gratitude.

He sincerely thanks to these people.

When he heard that he was about to leave, the people spontaneously gathered, either sending him, thanking him, or holding on to him... No matter what, Wang Yan was very grateful.

"Sir, you haven't given a response to what happened just now. We are willing to pay for the official position in Nancheng County for you."

The people around the front row of the carriage spoke again.

Countless people looked at Wang Yan in unison, waiting for Wang Yan's answer.

At the same time, among the crowd less than three meters away from the carriage, a handsome middle-aged man wearing a blue shirt and a scarf on his head, looked at Wang Yan, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he had a slight gaze. This person was no one else, but the new county magistrate of Nancheng County. A burly man stood beside him, the county magistrate who came with him.

The New County Magistrate knew how his official came from, but he was not a corrupt person, nor a flatterer. He had always admired the style of his ancestors and was quite capable of governing the local area.

He rode into the city with the county magistrate. Before he could reach the county government, he met countless people rushing towards the county town.

The crowd was crowded, and the two had to get off the horse. In the end, the horse was not sure where it was squeezed, while he and the county magistrate were pushed and hugged by the crowd to the place where Wang Yan was.

Wang Yan's eyes flashed over the people around him again and said loudly: "My fellow villagers, about my removal from the county magistrate. This matter is not as you imagined, and there is no trick. The county magistrate of Taishan has always been fair and strict, honest and dedicated, and it is impossible to accept bribes. Therefore, the bribery of obtaining the position of Nancheng County Magistrate is simply nonsense."

"Sir, you are so kind. Who is not greedy for officials in this world? Someone must have bribed the governor of Taishan County."

The people thought Wang Yan was too kind and believed that Wang Yan's words were exonerated by the county magistrate of Taishan County.

Wang Yan asked, "Am I corrupt?"

The people replied: "No, how could you embezzle?"

Wang Yan said: "Since that's the case, it's not true that you say that officials are greedy. I'm not greedy, and there are also many officials who are not greedy. Lord Yang Xu from our Yang family in Nancheng County, served as the magistrate of Nanyang County, is honest and dedicated to the public. He is a role model for us."

After a pause, Wang Yan said again: "Even the governor of Taishan County and the upcoming Xin County Magistrate are not corrupt and abused. I got the News City, and the magistrate of Xin County loves the people as much as his son and is quite capable. Therefore, the villagers should not think that I was dismissed from office because there was no bribery."

As soon as these words were spoken, the new county magistrate and the county magistrate looked at each other, and their tense expressions finally relaxed.

The two of them had a great feeling for Wang Yan.

At the same time, the two still felt a little guilty in their hearts. It is true that the two did not bribe, but relying on the relationship between the governor of Taishan County, squeezed out Wang Yan's official position.

After Wang Yan explained, the people's resistance to the New County Magistrate disappeared, but he said: "Even if the New County Magistrate is wise, you should not be dismissed from your official position. What should you do now?"

Wang Yan smiled and said, "I left Nancheng County today because I was going to work in Yangdu County. Therefore, the villagers don't have to worry about where I am going." At this moment, Wang Yan could not tell the people about going to Yangdu County and took this opportunity to win the sympathy of the people, but he was unwilling to make the people worry.

Moreover, they are unwilling to let the people resist Taishan County Magistrate, because the Xin County Magistrate is a member of Taishan County Magistrate. The people insult the Taishan County Magistrate, which will make the Xin County Magistrate have unhappy thoughts.

Instead of doing this, it is better to sell it to the new county magistrate and the Taishan county magistrate.

The people asked again: "Will you come back after leaving Nancheng County? We are reluctant to leave. You can open the warehouse and release the grain so that you can have a little grain storage at home and wait until the autumn harvest."

Wang Yan replied with a smile: "Of course I will come back. My father is still in Nancheng County. He is here, and my roots are here. Don't worry, fellow villagers, I will definitely come back and will definitely come back to visit the fellow villagers."

After a pause, Wang Yan said loudly: "Everyone will disperse and don't surround me anymore. If you surround me with such enthusiasm and block the streets, the city will be in chaos. The folk customs of our Nancheng County have always been simple and are recognized by Taishan County. You cannot let the new county magistrate see the mess when he comes, thinking that this place is full of troublemakers and people who like to gather to make trouble."

As soon as these words were spoken, bursts of hearty laughter suddenly came from the crowd, and the sad sorrow of separation was diluted by this sentence.

"The adult is going to work in Yangdu County, but he is not wronged. Let's not stop us, let us make way for the adult to leave."

The people spoke one after another and began to organize spontaneously.

A road was soon vacated on the street for enough carriages to travel.

On both sides of the carriage, there were still countless people standing, and none of them left.

Wang Yan bowed his hands to salute the people on both sides, and then turned back to the carriage. He no longer looked at the people outside, but he felt reluctant to leave because he glanced at it. The carriage went forward and headed straight to the east gate of the county town. On the way from the county government to the east gate, the people saw him off all the way, and even after leaving the city gate, the people continued to say goodbye.

At this time, Wang Yan couldn't bear to let the people continue to send them. He asked Yang He to stop the carriage, and after getting off the carriage, he looked at the people who were still following him, waved his hands repeatedly, bowed ninety degrees again to thank him, and then got on the carriage without looking back.

"Wheel! Wheel!"

The wheels rotated quickly, and the carriage became faster and faster, gradually disappearing from the people's sight.

At the gate of the city, the New County Magistrate looked at the departing carriage and murmured to himself: "Such an official is worthy of admiration and has set an example for me. I will definitely surpass him."
