The county government was originally just an office place, and as the county magistrate, there should be a mansion. But Zheng Yunzhi didn't, maybe, but he had always lived in the county government government.

The officials of the Ming Dynasty, especially those in this period, were extremely strange. Most officials had magnificent homes, but government offices such as county government offices seemed decaying and declining. I don’t know if they had no money to repair or wanted to be a "clever official". However, they were innocent and lost the majesty of the country.

However, given the current situation in Ye County, it is probably not possible to renovate the county government.

When I talked and laughed, I went to the county government office.

When I entered the side hall, I saw Zheng Yunzhi having morning tea.

"Yingbaihu is here? Sit, sit quickly."

Zheng Yunzhi's enthusiasm made Ying Yi unable to bear it, and he hurriedly said, "I dare not."

After sitting down, Zheng Yunzhi smiled and said, "I never thought Ying Baihu was invincible. The county was happy. I heard that Ying Baihu was from Xiao Wangzhuang?"

Ying Yi smiled and said, "That's right."

"How do you say this?" Zheng Yunzhi was stunned and said strangely.

Ying Yi looked slightly calmer and said, "I don't know that I settled in Xiaowangzhuang on the eve of autumn last year."

"Oh?" Zheng Yunzhi said: "What's going on?"

Ying Yi said: "The world is not good, and natural disasters have been going on for years. I was originally from Xiangyang, but... I was alone and wandered near Xiaowangzhuang. I almost starved to death and was rescued by Brother Zhang. So I settled in Xiaowangzhuang and made a living by hunting."

"So that's it." Zheng Yunzhi couldn't help feeling a little sad when she heard about Ying Yi's life experience: "The world is indeed not good. People are displaced, but we officials have not done a good job." Then she cheered up and said: "But this is only temporary. When the bandits are wiped out, everything will be fine."

Ying Yi nodded, but shook his head in his heart.

To wipe out bandits? With the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, there is no possibility.

Of course, this cannot be said.

"I have been wandering for a long time. During my settlement in Xiaowangzhuang, I deeply felt the kindness of Brother Zhang's family. I saw Xiaowangzhuang secluded again, and I planned to live peacefully in Xiaowangzhuang. Unexpectedly...hey!"

Speaking of this, Ying Yi's expression was particularly heavy: "The bandits are all consciences. I only went into the mountain once, but when I came back, I was full of misery. County Master, Brother Zhang and I were nailed to death at the entrance of the village and died with my eyes open! Xiao Ya was only seven years old, and was insulted and killed! The sister-in-law of the Zhang family also committed suicide. If I don't kill a tiger, what kind of face will I have to stay between the world?!"

"This is my fault."

Zheng Yunzhi looked at Ying Yi's red eyes and sighed repeatedly: "If I could send someone to move the people of Xiao Wangzhuang to Fangchengshan early, there would be no such tragedy."

Ying Yi shook his head, feeling a little moved.

He said: "Xiao Wangzhuang is not a village under Ye County, but Yuzhou. This matter has nothing to do with the county magistrate."

Xiao Wangzhuang is indeed not a village under Ye County. Zheng Yunzhi moved the people and could not control Yuzhou.

Zheng Yunzhi smiled bitterly and said, "Millions of thieves rampant in Henan. Ye County is on the edge of Henan and will be the frontier of the thieves. Since I took office last year, I was afraid that the people would be poisoned by the thieves, so I tried every means to move the people away. Fortunately, there was a hunter among my new ambassadors. I knew there was a treasure land in Fangcheng Mountain, otherwise I would have no choice."

He also said: "You know that military pay is a matter. As early as a few months ago, at the end of last year, someone from the Jinyiwei sent me a message asking me to prepare early. This batch of military pay is mainly for the Huguang army. You may know Zuo Liangyu's character, and I am afraid that his army will poison the people when he arrives in Ye County."

Ying Yi nodded when he heard this, and couldn't help feeling difficult for the situation of Zheng County Master.

He was just a county magistrate, and Zuo Liangyu and others were beyond his ability. He could only move the people away to relieve the disaster.

I don’t know how much effort he has put into doing this in the past few months.

In troubled times, people's minds change, but their hearts remain unchanged is really worthy of admiration.

"The county master is a good official."

Ying Yi said sincerely.

Zheng Yunzhi shook her head with a dull expression: "I have been working hard for ten years and I am determined to achieve something. But the world is difficult, and my only county magistrate will do whatever it takes..."

Always saying unhappy words is not a good thing. So he then talks about other things, from all over the world, and says whatever he thinks. Zheng Yunzhi found that Ying Yi was even more able to talk about than him. Many things he didn't know were said from Ying Yi but were very sarcastic.

It made him confirm Ying Yi’s statement that he had been wandering for many years.

If you weren't very knowledgeable, you would definitely not have so many insights.

After chatting like this, it was noon.

I had another meal with Zheng Yunzhi, and I also met Zheng Yunzhi's family during the meal.

Zheng Yunzhi has a wife and a concubine, and has two children. The eldest is a daughter, fourteen years old, a lady from a family, gentle, polite, and a bookish look. She is also called Zi Niang. The younger is a boy, only five years old, very naughty, named Zheng Yu, and his nickname is Yu'er.

He didn't talk much during the meal, mainly because Zheng Yunzhi's family was in person, and there were many rules. After a meal, Ying Yi felt uncomfortable all over. After the meal, he accused him of guilt and left.

When he returned to his residence, Ying Yi breathed a long breath. Sun Xiucai smiled and said, "What, is the food in the county Zun family delicious?"

Ying Yi complained: "I didn't eat well."

Sun Xiucai laughed: "The officials have many rules and should eat happily, of course they are not as good as their own."

Ying Yi nodded with deep consent and said, "During the meal, Zheng County Master asked me to supervise the troops of this county, what do you think?"

"What?!" Sun Xiucai was surprised: "So generous?"

Ying Yi looked calm: "I am indeed generous. I am a little embarrassed to plot."

Sun Xiucai hesitated for a moment: "If things happen, Brother Ying, the county magistrate is a good official, you can't leave it alone."

Ying Yi nodded silently, the appearance of Zheng Yunzhi's family of five appeared in his eyes, and he sighed slightly in his heart.

He said, "I was going to chase a tiger, but I didn't expect that by accident, I came to this point. It was really unpredictable. After the matter was done, I don't know what to do next."

Sun Xiucai's eyes flashed: "Let's take one step at a time, let's talk about it then."

Ying Yi nodded.

He said again: "The county lord asked me to see him again at night. I thought it might be coming. On the way back, I thought about it. There might be danger in Ye County. I plan to send you and Erniu out..."

Unexpectedly, Sun Xiucai shook his head: "Erniu can leave, but I can't. I'm too conspicuous, it's not good to leave."

Ying Yi frowned.

I heard Sun Xiucai say, "When you go, there will be a big war. I will stay in the county to support you, and it may not be useless at critical moments."

Ying Yi also knew that Sun Xiucai was right, but he said: "It's very dangerous..."

Sun Xiucai smiled: "A mere scholar who can participate in such a big event is enough for life. If I die, I will be unlucky in the future. If I don't die, I will have good luck."

Ying Yi couldn't help laughing.
