"Feng Chao!"

Hu Ban, wearing a pair of black shoes, stood on a piece of dry ground and shouted.

A group of people were working outside the backyard wall of the county government office, being monitored by Zhou Cang and others. These people were the thieves who robbed and cut the paths with Feng Chao, but they also had another identity, that is, they were Haixi County patrolmen.

!Anyway, Deng Ji was short of manpower now, so he simply pulled these people over to work. Regardless of whether they were willing or not, under the gaze of Zhou Cang's eyes, they had to work hard.

Feng Chao put down the gavel in his hand and straightened up.

"Follow me, the young master is looking for you."

Hu Ban waved his hand, signaling Feng Chao to hurry up.

Feng Chao was stunned for a moment and then hurriedly walked over.

"Come with me quickly to change clothes. The young master is waiting in the front hall."

"Which young master?"

"Ha, how many young masters can there be in this county government office? Let's go, you will know when you go there."

Hu Ban was making a fuss, which made Feng Chao a little confused. He followed Hu Ban, first changed into a dark gray shawl, and then covered it with a big robe, followed by Hu Ban.

Behind him, he passed through the backyard arch and soon came to the front hall door.

Outside the gate, Cao Peng was dressed in black robe, standing with his hands behind his back.

Dianman and Xu Yi also put on new clothes, wore black shoes, and carried riding whips in their hands.

Wang Mai and Deng Fan were talking in a low voice. When they saw Feng Chao coming, they just nodded towards him and said nothing.

"Young masters, please call the criminals to come..."

Cao Peng waved his hand impatiently, "Okay, okay, why sinners don't blame others. If you really want to forgive me, go out for a walk with me."

"ah?"

"Don't tell me you're not familiar with this place!" Cao Peng's expression was very indifferent, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy, angry or happy.

"We are new here, and we don't know much about the situation here. You have been here for two years, so you must have an understanding of Haixi County. Take us around, and tell us about the scenery and customs of Haixi County...

By the way, are there any good places to eat here?"

"Well...this sinner is quite clear about it."

"In that case, let's go."

Cao Peng said and walked down the steps.

He wasn't riding a horse either, he seemed to be planning to walk there.

Dianman and Xu Yi followed him with smiles, chatting and joking from time to time.

"Feng Chao, how to get there?"

Standing at the fork in the road, Cao Peng turned around and asked, "Since you are leading the way, why don't you come over a little so that everyone can talk more easily."

"This... sinner is disrespectful."

Feng Chao suddenly felt infinite emotion in his heart.

Two years ago, he was the son of the magistrate of Haixi County; two years later, he became a prisoner.

These young men in front of him were obviously unusual. Feng Chao felt lonely in his heart, and at the same time he felt a sense of hope.

He took two quick steps and led the way.

Feng Chao is about in his early twenties and has a good appearance.

According to him, his ancestral home is in Xudu, and he is considered a small and prominent family in the local area. However, because his father Feng Yuanshu came out and separated from the family, he joined Tao Qian's account. After ten years, he finally

He became a county magistrate, but he didn't expect that he would lose his life in just two months. Feng Chao had never returned to his hometown and had almost no memory of things in his hometown, so he didn't talk much about it.

After leaving the county government office, everyone headed south.

First, we went to the Haixi Tower to have a bird's-eye view of the panoramic view of Haixi.

This tower is said to have been built in the Western Han Dynasty. At that time, Haixi Kingdom was still under the rule of Li Guangli, so someone built this tower as a commemoration. At that time, the tower was named Guanhai Pavilion, which is said to be because Li Guangli once stayed in this tower.

It was famous for drinking and watching the sea. However, Li Guangli later defected to the Huns, and Guanhai Pavilion became ignored and gradually became a local landscape...

"There is a lotus pond over there, and there are hills in the pond.

In the summer, the lotus flowers bloom in the pond, and the weeping willows curl up beside the pond... But this season, the area around the lotus pond has become very deserted."

Feng Chao was beside Cao Peng and introduced him to the scenery of Haixi.

"Going to the north is the commercial market. At this time, it is when the market opens. Well, if you are interested, you can also go and have a look. Although the population of Haixi is not too large, there are several people around here.

County, it can be regarded as the most prosperous county."

Guangling County was founded in the third year of Yuanshou, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and was transformed from Jiangdu State into Guangling State.

In the first year of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Wang Maishi changed the name to Jiangping County. Later, in the early days of the founding of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the name was changed from Jiangping County to Guangling County, and the administrative seat was set up in Guangling County.

During this period, it went through changes and the name of the county was repeated several times.

In the third year of Yonghe reign of Emperor Shun, there were eleven counties under Guangling County, including Guangling, Jiangdu, Gaoyou, Ping'an, Lingxian, Dongyang, Sheyang, Yandu, Yuxian, Tangyi and Haixi. Haixi County was due to its geographical location

Due to its location, it is located to the east of Youshui with Qu County in Donghai County, and across the water from Quyang Huaipu. It is no exaggeration to describe it as a hub connecting the two Huaihe Rivers in Shandong and eight rivers.

It can be heard that Feng Chao is still a little proud in his words.

Maybe two years would be enough to assimilate him! Assimilate him into a Haixi person...

"Feng Chao, you said yesterday that there are three evils in Haixi?"

Cao Peng suddenly changed the topic, which shocked Feng Chao.

He quickly looked around and saw that there was no one else on the tower except for them. Cao Peng went out and brought ten followers with him to guard the stairs of the tower. Dianman and Xu Yi stood by another window, looking towards

Pointing at the line of sea and sky in the distance.

This was the first time they saw the sea.

It's just that the distance is a bit far, so the view is not very clear and a bit blurry.

Wang Mai and Deng Fan stood behind Cao Peng, seemingly guarding him. Feng Chao was relieved.

"I want to know, is there anyone else in Haixi?

I mean, the more famous people... Haha, when we come here, we always have to pay a visit to the local gentry to understand the situation."

"Haixi... speaking of it, there is no big shot. However, during the reign of the late Emperor, there was a man named Xiaolian, and later he served as Taizhong doctor in the court, named Mai Xiong. But he did not work for long, and I heard that he was less than a month old.

Yu was replaced by others and returned to Haixi.

This person is a famous person in Haixi.

When the Taiping thieves were raging, Lord Mai Xiongmai also organized resistance from the villagers. However, in recent years, due to his increasing age, his health has become worse and worse. He has not appeared in public for almost several years. When my late father took office, he went to

When I visited this person, I only met him once on the bed. According to what my late father said when he came back, Mr. Mai was in very poor health and he only spoke one or two sentences from beginning to end."

Speaking of this, Feng Chao couldn't help but sigh.

"If Mr. Mai had been in good health, Haixi would definitely not be what he is now."

"Mai Xiong?" Cao Peng frowned and instinctively thought of Mai Cheng who was imprisoned. However, he did not ask further questions, but looked at Feng Chao curiously and said, "Does Mr. Mai have no heirs?"

Is it? If he can’t come forward, his son can too?”

"Mai Ren...too weak!"

Feng Chao smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Mai has an only son who is nearly forty years old. But his body is not in good shape and he is an alcoholic. He rarely wakes up. Those people in Haixi County will not provoke the Mai family.

, Master Mai naturally didn't bother to pay attention... By the way, the jailer who was in the county government yesterday is Master Mai's distant nephew. It is said that he is very popular with Mr. Mai, so he was kept in the county government.

.That man... To be honest, he is not likeable and very cunning. I don’t know why Mr. Mai took a fancy to him. Mr. Mai doesn’t think much of Mai Cheng and basically doesn’t interact with him, so he just lets him live in this county.

Within the Yamen..."

Cao Peng tapped the edge of the window gently with his fingers, showing a thoughtful attitude.

"anything else?"

"In the west end of the city, there was a Mr. Wang named Wang Cheng. This man had read the books of sages and opened a private school in the west end of the city to teach the children in the neighborhood. His family background was quite good, so he was not too greedy for money.

He is quite famous and a kind person."

Wang Cheng?

Never heard of it, very strange!

Cao Peng only knew that in the later model play "Heroes and Sons", there was a hero named Wang Cheng.

Three Kingdoms period……

He turned around and said with a smile: "Brother Hutou, it's still your family."

Wang Mai chuckled and said nothing.

Cao Peng asked again: "Besides these two people, is there anyone else?"
