After crossing the border at the foot of Wutai Mountain, even if we officially entered the border of Beihe Province, we passed the edge of Dai County, passed through Dai County and then passed Fanzhi. When we arrived at Fanzhi County, it was already the evening of the same day.
Seeing that the sky was getting gray and it was about to fall into the night, Li Chen looked up at the sky and saw that there were dense clouds ahead. The weather would probably not get better tonight. In addition, people and horses were exhausted after a long journey, so Li Chen went to Fanzhi to rest as originally planned.
We found an inn, ate and stayed, and this time there was no drama like in Mount Wutai, everything went smoothly.
Xu Wei went out to inquire around and came back and reported to Li Chenhui: "Your Highness, Fanzhi is safe and sound for the time being, but..."
"Including Xishan, Beihe and even the entire Gyeonggi region, dozens of county government offices have been attacked, with varying degrees of damage. Countless people have been killed in local magistrates. Now the public is clamoring for this, and the people are panicked and talking.
There are a lot of things, but the most common voice is that the imperial court implemented tyranny in the south, so much so that the government forced the people to rebel. This is... this is the retribution of the imperial court."
Speaking of this, Xu Wei paused and carefully glanced at Li Chen's face. Seeing that there was no sign of anger, he boldly continued: "From this, there is even a joke among the people, saying that being an official now, especially
Being a county magistrate is a high-risk profession. If you don't even get a few taels of money, the lives of your whole family will be lost first. In fact, there are indeed rumors that many county magistrates are moving around, either asking for transfer, or even demotion.
They were all willing, but some knew that there was no hope of transfer, so they simply resigned from the court..."
"The magistrate of Fanzhi County stopped working three days ago. No one knows where he is now. People in the county say he ran away."
After finishing the information and news he had obtained in one breath, Xu Wei lowered his head silently and said nothing.
No one would feel better after hearing this series of bad news. Xu Wei was even prepared for Li Chen to be furious and become a punching bag for himself.
But Li Chen just remained silent for a moment, then waved his hand and said: "I know, let's go down."
When Xu Wei heard this, he bowed and said cautiously: "Your Highness, please rest early. I will resign from my humble position."
After Xu Wei left, Li Chen stood up and came to the window. He looked at the bright moon hanging in the air, shrouded by a layer of clouds and half-hidden. There was no emotion on his face, but he felt very heavy in his heart.
I don't know how long it took, but the door creaked and Wan Jiaojiao came in with a piece of porridge.
"Your Highness, it's getting dark at night, so take this bowl of porridge and go to bed early."
Seeing that Li Chen was standing by the window without moving, Wan Jiaojiao put the porridge on the table, took a cloak and went behind Li Chen to put it on him.
"It's been three months since we came out, right?" Li Chen asked.
Wan Jiaojiao nodded and said: "Five more days, it will be a hundred days."
"I don't know what's going on in the capital."
Li Chen sighed softly and said: "I want to live a peaceful life for a few days, but there are always people who won't let me idle."
Wan Jiaojiao clenched her fists and cheered: "No matter what difficulties we encounter, His Highness will definitely be able to solve them all."
Li Chen chuckled lightly and said: "I am a human being, not a god. How can I be perfect?"
"But His Highness is perfect. Even if His Highness is a human being or not a god, he is still a perfect person."
