After nearly a month of traveling, our family and an outsider finally arrived at our destination, a place called Lan County.

Lan, it's an elegant word, I thought it would be a very beautiful place, until I set foot on this land, I have never cared about the environment around me, this time I was a little disappointed.

I'm not afraid of anything, but I'm afraid that Zhuo Ran will be sad, after all, it is not easy to get to where you are today without relying on any force.

There was no one on the road, and the ground was dirty. Although there are many houses on the street, they are dilapidated, either without windows, or the tiles on the eaves are incomplete, and there are even a few doors without them.

"What's going on?" Zhuo Ran said loudly.

"Have you been robbed?" I say.

"In such a big place, there are really robbers, how many people must there be?" Zhuo Ran said.

At this time, we were walking on this dirty street, and everyone was quite hungry after missing lunchtime, but in this place, I couldn't see which one was a restaurant or restaurant.

Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps in front of them, and everyone looked over in unison, and saw a man rushing out of an alley.

"Help me!" Seeing us, the man ran straight to him, looking behind him as he ran, shouting to save him.

Just as he was wondering if he was being chased by robbers, two or three people came out of the alley where he came out, all of them fierce and vicious, holding wooden sticks thick at their wrists.

"Robbed?"

As soon as I had finished speaking, the man had rushed up to me, and by the time he turned his head to look behind him again, he was within striking distance of where I was standing.

Just about to dodge, someone suddenly pulled me, and the next second it was already in Zhuo Ran's arms, and the person who hit me was grabbed by Honghong and Qingqing.

At this moment, the people chasing after us had already arrived in front of us.

"Guests?" The three men looked at each other.

"You must save me, they will kill me." Said the person who was chased.

"Why? Even if you commit the crime of killing your head, only the government has the right to decide on life and death, how can you kill if you say kill! Zhuo Ran's words were imposing, and at this moment, I felt his domineering as a man like never before.

"Who are you? Isn't there a lot of people? We're not afraid of you. One of the later three, one said.

"The new magistrate, Zhuo Ran!" Zhuo Ran said.

The three men looked at each other again, their eyes filled with hesitation.

"You're the new Lord Zhuo?" Said the person who was chased.

"I am, if you have anything to do, you can go to the county office to talk about it." Zhuo Ran said.

"This ......" The four of them all hesitated.

"What's wrong?" Zhuo Ran asked them.

"My lord, we're just joking......" said the three men with sticks.

"Yes, my lord, we're joking." Said the person who was being chased.

"It's a joke, it's not a child, is there such a play? I think you'd better go to the court and make it clear first! Zhuo Ran said, in a dignified tone, I once again doubt that this person is still the same Zhuo Ran I know?

"Since he himself said it was a joke, why do you care about them." I said, I suddenly found that I was still leaning on Zhuo Ran's arms, but fortunately, everyone's attention was on those people, so I quietly got rid of Zhuo Ran's hand that was half-holding me, and kept a little distance from him.

"My lord, it's not a joke, it's like this, we thought he stole my things, so we chased him. It's because we recognize the wrong person. One of them said, with a stick.

Zhuo Ran pondered for a while, and finally said to the person who was chasing: "Since you yourself are unwilling to cooperate, and I am also a newcomer, many things are not ready. In this way, I will not pursue it first, and if there is anything, I will go to the county office to find me. ”

"Thank you, thank you, your lord!" The man bowed several times and then left first.

"Let's go too!" One of the other three said.

However, just as they were about to leave, they were stopped by Zhuo Ran, and the three of them looked at Zhuo Ran in fear, even I was blinded, and I didn't know what Zhuo Ran was going to do.

"Why have I only seen a few of you since I entered the city? Is this what happened? Zhuo Ran asked.

"Aren't there still people there?" One man pointed behind us and said.

I turned my head to see that there were several women standing at the gate of the house on the side of the road looking at us.

"You can go." Hearing Zhuo Ran say in his ear, he suddenly remembered something, turned his head and was about to stop the three people, but they had already run away.

"What's wrong, Xiao Li?" Zhuo Ran saw that there was something wrong with me, so he asked me directly.

"Don't you ask where their county government is, it will be enough for us to turn later." I said, no one around me is familiar with this place.

"Isn't that coming?" Zhuo Ran pointed to a road on the left and said.

I looked over, and sure enough, there were a few people dressed in yacha costumes.

When we saw them, those people saw us and came over quickly.

"Who are you, have you come here for something?" The head catcher asked us.

But for some reason, I felt that these people looked quite tired, and two of them even yawned.

"I'm the new magistrate of this county, Zhuo Ran, please lead the way." Zhuo Ran said with a smile.

The headhunter looked Zhuo Ran up and down and asked, "What about the official seal?" ”

Zhuo Ran asked a family member next to him to hand over a portable baggage, took out a brocade-wrapped thing from it and opened it, and an official seal Hao Ran lay in it.

Zhuo Ran took out the official seal and handed it to the head catcher, who took it, looked at it carefully, and returned it to Zhuo Ran, and immediately took the lead and knelt on the ground to salute Zhuo Ran.

The catcher claimed to be surnamed Men, and after Zhuo Ran asked them to get up, they took us to the county office.

"That's it?" Xu asked first, his tone full of surprise.

It's no wonder that she was surprised, this so-called county government is not much better than the houses on the street, but there is no lack of doors and windows.

"Master Wu, the new magistrate has arrived." The head of the door catcher shouted as he walked inside.

"Ran'er, are you sure we're coming here?" Xu was unwilling.

"This is it!" Zhuo Ran replied.

I am also full of questions, how can Zhuo Ran be assigned to such a place as an official, so he is also the top champion of the new department.

After a while, the door catcher came out of it and said that the master was not there.

We went into the yamen on our own, but fortunately the inside was quite tidy. Behind the yamen, there is a small courtyard that can accommodate people, and this is also our future home.

Fortunately, it is clean inside, and under the simple cleaning of the maids we brought, you can live in it.

The first meal we had here was not as big fish and meat as we imagined, and the best dish on a table was a bowl of chicken, which was just borrowed from the people. I was reluctant to put down the chopsticks...... (To be continued.) )
