Before Liu Taozi arrived in Yecheng, Tian Zili and others had already arrived in Cheng'an.

The snow outside Cheng'an is not very clean either.

The road was extremely muddy, but fortunately, there were no small black snow mountains piled up on both sides of the road.

The ground is dirty only because of trampling.

As soon as they approached Cheng'an City, they saw the fiery scene in the distance.

Outside the gate of Cheng'an City, it was extremely lively.

I saw several large tents set up outside the city gate. There were people standing in the wind and snow, shivering, and there were bonfires all around.

The bonfire swayed with difficulty in the strong wind, and a gust of cold wind blew in. The fire was almost extinguished, and even the light of the fire had disappeared, but at the next moment, another flame jumped out.

In this cold wind, the bonfire tried its best to emit weak fire and light.

The area around this insignificant fire was crowded with broken people, their clothes were in tatters, their appearance was ugly, and their eyes were dull.

"Next!!"

someone shouted.

A broken man suddenly became whole. He took back his hand and strode towards the city gate.

Outside the city gate, there were many officials sitting. They were verifying the identities of the deceased one by one, and then gave them certificates and told them not to run away again and to live a good life.

Tian Zili and others were a little surprised when they saw this familiar scene.

"Is this a way to resettle the dead? Who is Cheng'an Ling now??"

They rode slowly past these bonfires and all the way to the city gate.

The officials at the city gate were startled when they saw the noble man who suddenly appeared. They jumped up and saluted in horror.

"Wang Hesheng?? Is it you?? Why are you still working as a casual official??"

Yao Xiong suddenly asked.

One of them raised his head and was surprised to find that the noble man who suddenly appeared was his classmate!

Tian Zili, Kou Liu.

He also knew them both.

He was overjoyed.

"Mr. Yao Yao?? Why is it you??"

"Where's Mandrill? Is he here?"

The three words "Mr. Mandrill" were like a mysterious button being suddenly turned on. After a while, the officials on the left and right, the soldiers in the distance, and the people beside the campfire all raised their heads.

They looked at each other and whispered "Mr. Mandrill?", "Mr. Mandrill" in their mouths.

In an instant, the mandrill's name was chanted outside the city.

Yao Xiong was shocked.

"He hasn't come yet."

Tian Zili cleared his throat and asked, "Who is Cheng Anling now?"

"It's Mr. Lu."

"Mr. Lu?? Why is it still him? Wasn't he promoted?"

Yao Xiong asked confused.

"This is the road, the road offers wine, and the road orders history."

Yao Xiong was overjoyed, "Now he is Cheng Anling??"

Tian Zili frowned, "Didn't he hold a position in the court?"

"Where is he??"

Facing such a group of dignitaries, this official did not dare to be presumptuous. He immediately ordered his left and right people to stay here to work, and he led a few of them towards the county government office. Yao Xiong was quite dissatisfied with this, "It makes us unaware

The road is the same, do we still need you to take us there?"

Wang Hesheng smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Yao, it's not like before. You are an official official. If you don't escort me, I will be punished."

Yao Xiong laughed, "Except for Lu Gong, I have the highest rank in this city. With me protecting you, what are you afraid of?"

"By the way, it's been so long, why are you still a casual official?"

Wang Hesheng laughed bitterly and said, "Mr. Yao, there is a limit to the number of official and casual officials in this county government. The current official officials are all better than me. What else can I do?"

"Oh, that seems to be the case too."

"Are you still busy conferring fields?"

"Yes, the number of household registrations in Cheng'an is increasing, and things are getting better day by day in this city."

Wang Hesheng smiled and looked ahead.

Cheng'an City is quite clean. You can see the slowly rising smoke from all around. You can even see people going out in the wind and snow, wrapped in thick clothes and carrying things in their hands.

The sound of dogs barking was heard in the distance.

It is really different from many cities that Yao Xiong has visited.

Yao Xiong talked to him about the situation here, but Tian Zili narrowed his eyes. He looked around and suddenly asked: "How is the law school, Mr. Wang?"

Wang Hesheng sighed, "Oh, don't mention it, I'm going to stop."

Yao Xiong was shocked, "Why??"

Wang Hesheng shook his head, "There is no position. I have learned the law but there is no place to be an official. The number of people in various places is full, so I can only go to other places, and other places need their own people. Who wants people from outside to be officials?"

"There are so many people in Cheng'an. If it were in other cities, the law school wouldn't be able to gather a group of people for several months. But in Cheng'an, it's always full."

"Oh, it's all annoying to talk about."

Yao Xiong was shocked.

Tian Zili smiled and explained: "In the past, officials were consumables and were replaced after use, so they could maintain a balance. But now, if officials are not consumed and cannot be promoted to officials, the law school will naturally become useless.

"

Yao Xiong glared at him, "The law school is over, I wonder why you are still so happy?"

Tian Zili shook his head, "There's nothing much to say about this relationship with you."

The group of them arrived at the official office, and the place was even more lively. Upon learning that they were coming, everyone in the county government office rushed over to greet them.

The people here are all their old friends.

Everyone smiled and exchanged greetings.

The doorman Xu Laoli was particularly surprised. He pulled Yao Xiong's reins and said, "Xiong, ah, it should be Mr. Yao! I heard that you were promoted with General Liu and made a fortune!"

The experience of Liu Taozi and his colleagues is simply a legend in Cheng'an.

He inspired all the officials and all the people.

Especially in the eyes of these officials who have almost no hope for the future, their success is the only light, and it is the only possible way out for them.

Yao Xiong raised his head and laughed after hearing what Mr. Xu said.

"It's true! It's true!"

"Brother is in Yecheng now and will be coming in a few days!"

When everyone heard this, they were even more surprised and shouted.

There was a commotion in the venue, and finally, a moment later, a person appeared in the distance surrounded by everyone.

Tian Zili, Yao Xiong, Kou Liu and others dismounted one after another.

The person coming is just the way to go.

Lu Qubing came to them almost at a trot. When he saw a few of them, he was so excited that he even wanted to cry.

The three of them paid homage to him and were pulled up by him.

"Where's Brother Taozi?"

"He is still in Yecheng."

"But, Lu Gong, don't you serve in the imperial court?"

"Ah? Didn't Brother Taozi tell you?"

Lu Qubing's eyes widened, "I thought he didn't reply after reading the letter, but it turned out that he didn't even read it? I originally served in the imperial court, and then His Majesty selected many people from the imperial court and distributed them to local places, so I

is one of them"

Tian Zili asked with a smile: "Are the people selected this time all Han Chinese?"

"oh?"

"When you say that, it seems true."
