Liu Xiandianwei walked on the road for several days, and finally a small city appeared in his sight.

Entering the city, a noisy and crowded scene immediately came into view.

The small county town was actually crowded with ragged refugees.

It seems that this era is the same everywhere. Famines and man-made disasters have caused countless people to be displaced, and the entire society is in turmoil.

Liu Xian Dianwei was walking on the street and saw that most of the shops on the street were closed. Liu Xian didn't understand what was going on.

But soon Liu Xian understood why the shops in the city were closed, because not long after they entered the city, countless hungry refugees gathered around them. Men, women, old people, and children all reached out to Liu Xian for begging.

When they asked for food, Liu Xiandian and Wei were immediately surrounded.

Dian Wei looked at Liu Xian. As long as Liu Xian spoke, he would immediately disperse these refugees.

Liu Xian saw a little girl of five or six years old looking at him timidly, her big eyes full of pleading, and her heart suddenly softened.

He shouted to Dianwei: "When evil comes, take out all the food we have left and give it to them."

Dian Wei responded, untied the baggage without hesitation, took out the dried meat and distributed it to everyone.

Unexpectedly, after the food was distributed, more refugees gathered around and blocked this section of the street.

At this time, Liu Xian had no food in his hands, but no matter what he said, the refugees refused to leave and begged for food. Thanks to Dianwei by his side, Liu Xian was able to escape from the predicament with great difficulty.

Soon after, Liu Xian led Dian Wei to the county government office.

Liu Xian took out his letter of appointment and walked to the gate and said to the officer guarding the door: "Brother, I am the county lieutenant who has accepted the order of the prefect. I have come to pay homage to the county magistrate."

The yamen officer looked at Liu Xian suspiciously, as if he didn't believe it.

He took the letter of appointment from Liu Xian and took a look at it. A smile immediately appeared on his face. He handed the letter of appointment back to Liu Xian with both hands. He bowed and clasped his fists and said, "Sir, please wait a moment. I will go to Tongcheng County right away."

Your Majesty." After saying that, he turned around and went in.

After a while, the yamen servant came out, cupped his fists towards Liu Xian and said, "The county magistrate is in the lobby, asking the county captain to come and see you."

Liu Xian thanked him, then led Dian Wei into the county government office, and walked straight into the county government office lobby facing the gate.

As soon as you enter the lobby, the scene of ancient county magistrates sitting in the hall in movies and TV dramas comes into view.

Sitting on the main seat above was a thin, middle-aged man wearing an official robe. Needless to say, he must be the magistrate of Fanyang County.

A wretched scribe-like figure stood beside the county magistrate; while under the lobby, there were several government servants holding swords on each side, and everyone was looking at Liu Xian and Liu Xian.

It was fine for everyone to see Liu Xian, but when they saw Dian Wei's image as tall and fierce as a mountain, everyone couldn't help showing a bit of fear.

Liu Xian came to the middle of the hall, clasped his fists towards the county magistrate above and said, "Sir, I am the county lieutenant who accepts my fate from the prefect. I am here to report to you."

The county magistrate squinted at Liu Xian and winked at the scribe beside him. The latter understood and immediately came down to Liu Xian and said proudly: "Since you are here to take up the post, do you have the letter of appointment from the prefect?"

?"

Liu Xian was not angry when he saw the other party's deceptive behavior. He had seen this kind of thing a lot in modern society. Dangji handed the bamboo slip in his hand to the other party and said, "This is the letter of appointment."

The scribe took the letter of appointment, turned back to the county magistrate, bowed and respectfully presented the letter of appointment to the county magistrate, just like a loyal dog wagging its tail begging for mercy from its master.

The county magistrate took the letter of appointment, unfolded it, read it once, said yes, and handed it to the scribe.

The scribe came to Liu Xian with the letter of appointment, handed it back to Liu Xian with one hand, and then returned to the county magistrate.

The county magistrate smiled and said: "Since you are the county captain appointed by the prefect, you will be my subordinate from now on."

After a pause, he said pointedly: "Although you are a county captain personally appointed by the prefect, I am your immediate superior. You must obey my words unconditionally, otherwise, I will not spare you. I am

Even the prefect cannot interfere with sanctioning you. These are the rules. Do you understand?"

Liu Xian felt funny in his heart, clasped his fists and said, "I understand."

The county magistrate nodded and said to a government official standing in the hall: "Li Youcai, take the county captain to his official office."

The yamen servant named Li Youcai clasped his fists in agreement, then walked up to Liu Xian and asked, "My lord, county captain, please follow me." Then he led Liu Xian, Dian Wei and others out of the lobby.

As soon as Liu Xiandianwei left, the scribe couldn't help but said to the county magistrate: "Sir, the prefect suddenly sent such a person of unknown origin to be the county captain. I'm afraid he has some intentions, right?"

The county magistrate snorted coldly, "What are you afraid of? With the young lady supporting us, we don't have to worry about anything!"

Then a cold light radiated from his eyes, and he said harshly: "This guy named Liu Xian just wants to know what's interesting. If he dares to act rashly, I will definitely kill him without a burial place!"

The scribe hurriedly bent down and said with a smile: "What the magistrate said is absolutely true! It's just unfounded worries!"

The county magistrate thought of something and asked, "How is that thing going?"

The scribe quickly said: "Zhao Da and the others are ready to start tonight. There should be no problem. He has brought more than a hundred people with him this time!" The county magistrate nodded.

The scribe was worried and said: "Sir, in the past six months, large households in this county have been robbed one after another, and rumors have spread! And the prefect sent such a county captain at this time! Should we stop temporarily? If so.

If the news reaches the prefect, even if a young lady speaks for him, it will not be good!"

The county magistrate thought for a moment and said: "Let's stop temporarily after this matter is over." Then he smiled and said: "Anyway, I have already harvested a lot of money and food!" The scribe quickly said: "Your Excellency is wise!"

Liu Xian, Dian and Wei followed the government official named Li Youcai to a small mansion next to the county government office, and asked the soldiers guarding the gate to inform everyone to come and see the new county captain.

The soldier glanced at Liu Xiandianwei in surprise, hurriedly paid his respects, and then rushed in to summon everyone.

Li Youcai cupped his fists towards Liu Xian and said, "If you don't have any other instructions, I'll take my leave." Liu Xian cupped his fists and said, "Thank you." Li Youcai bowed to Liu Xian and left.

Liu Xian led Dian Wei into the gate and went straight to the hall to sit down. At this time, everyone in the government office rushed to the hall and paid homage to Liu Xian: "Meet your Excellency!"

It was the first time that Liu Xian saw so many people paying homage to him. He couldn't help but feel a little excited. He felt like he was in a dream. He raised his voice and said, "No need to be polite."
