Chapter 398 Robbing the Mansion.

Time passed day by day, and it had been several months since Ye Xing and the others left Qixing County.

It was still midsummer when they left Qixing County, but now it was late autumn, and their carriage was galloping in the maple forest, raising the maple leaves that were blown down by the wind, and a piece was blown into the carriage by the wind.

The maple leaves are red like fire, and this late autumn scene looks like this, and it has a unique flavor.

It's just that late autumn is still late autumn after all, and after the maple forest, all they see is a withering, and that withering feels really lifeless.

Autumn is the season that makes people homesick, but even so, they can't go home, Di Xiaojie and Xu Ruoxuan can't, Ye Xing and Hua Zhimeng can't, they don't know when they can go back.

The autumn wind outside the carriage was also singing sad songs at this time, as if it was singing for this group of people who could not go home.

Dusty and mixed with leaves blown by the wind.

A little bird chirped in the treetops, and when it saw a carriage coming from a distance, it spread its wings and flew south, and it was time for them to fly to the warm south.

And Ye Xing and the others are also heading south, but they can't fly as fast as that migratory bird.

Unconsciously, it was another few days of horseback travel, and the weather became even more bleak, but they had not encountered a large township for several days, and they had been sleeping in the open for the past few days.

But this afternoon, they finally came to a more prosperous place, but this prosperity is that kind of savage prosperity.

Wherever they went, civilization did not seem to be very developed, and although there were many things sold in the streets, many of them were exchanged for things, and very little was bought with silver, and their clothes were not silk, and most of them were made of animal skins.

Seeing this situation, Ye Xing felt faintly uneasy in his heart, he did not expect that at this time when the feudal society had developed into the Ming Dynasty, there would be such an uncivilized place.

But this place is not civilized enough, but the things that are bought and sold are extremely rich, and there are many inns on the roadside, this polarized situation makes Ye Xing even more uneasy.

Generally, if the polarization is too serious, it indicates that the law and order here is not very good, and the rich often bully the poor, but the poor are forced to be anxious, but they often rebel.

When they walked to the signpost, they found that the place was called Nameless County.

Ye Xing smiled lightly, nameless is actually famous, but it is nameless, such a place must be a collection of contradictions.

It's just that Ye Xing thinks so, but Hua Zhimeng and the others don't have time to think about this, they want to find an inn quickly, take a bath, and then eat something delicious to fill their stomachs, these days they are gnawing hard dry food and eating barbecue, they are really tired.

Ye Xing naturally understood everyone's mood, so after they found an inn, they immediately asked the shopkeeper to prepare good food and wine for them.

After the food came up, Ye Xing and the others were taken aback, in this place, the food was completely beyond their imagination, and several of them were extremely hungry, so they naturally didn't think too much, just waited for the wine and food to be full.

Maybe the people here haven't seen so many outsiders, so when Ye Xing and the others eat, they attract gossip from people nearby from time to time, Ye Xing and they don't care, they just eat, but after Ye Xing and the others have eaten, they have to inquire about the situation here.

A table of sumptuous meals is not very expensive, but Xu Ruoxuan still gave the inn a lot of money for the meal, because Ye Xing wanted to inquire about the news from the innkeeper.

With the silver to be the pioneer, the road behind is naturally much easier, Ye Xing called the innkeeper and said, "This place seems to have a big gap between the rich and the poor? ”

When the innkeeper heard Ye Xing say this, he hurriedly replied in a low voice: "There is no gap between the rich and the poor in that place, it's just that our nameless county is more obvious, there are rich people who flow oil, and there are many poor people who are only skinny and bones." After the innkeeper finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh, as if he was also worried about things here.

After all, there are too many poor people here, and his business is not much better.

Ye Xing nodded, and then asked, "The situation here is so serious, can the county order just ignore it, or find a way to improve it?" ”

After Ye Xing said this, the innkeeper hurriedly motioned to Ye Xing to be quiet, and then he replied softly: "The guest officer is new here, he may not know the situation here, this kind of thing, even if the county magistrate wants to improve it, he must have the ability!" ”

"So, the county commander of this nameless county doesn't have this ability?" Ye Xing asked unwillingly.

The innkeeper sighed and said: "The county commander is a good person, but this good person is not easy to be a good person sometimes, our place is too remote, just in response to the sentence that the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, this situation just makes the county commander a blessing, but our county order does not like this, he is too easy to bully in the remote, as a result, he can't do it in our place, and he has to be bullied, he wants to report this matter to the court, let the court find a way, but this remote place, how can the emperor manage it, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away!" ”

After Ye Xing listened to the innkeeper's words, he couldn't help but sigh, the result of this situation where the mountain is high and the emperor is far away is like a double-edged sword.

After a moment, Ye Xing continued to ask, "I don't know who the county commander of this nameless county is?" ”

"Our county magistrate here is called Huo Qing, he is a good official, but it's a pity that he came to our place as an official, and it's hard for him!"

After the innkeeper finished speaking, he asked again: "I don't know if the guest officer still has something to ask, I still have some things to do behind, if the guest officer has nothing to ask, I will be busy!" ”

Ye Xing nodded and asked the innkeeper to get busy.

But after the innkeeper left, Ye Xing and the others discussed: "This Huo Qing is an interesting person, why don't we go and meet him?" ”

Everyone agreed that there was no objection, and naturally they all went together, and they asked for a few rooms at the inn, and the luggage and carriage were naturally placed in the backyard of the inn.

What I saw on the street, the rich were dressed in beautiful clothes and full of jewelry, but the poor were not clothed, which made Ye Xing and the others feel uneasy in their eyes.

They walked for less than half an hour, and finally met the county government here, but the county government here looked very shabby, and there was no official style at all.

Just as they walked out of the county government quickly, they suddenly found that two people rushed out of the county office, and behind the two people, two officials chased after them, but the two officials did not look domineering, this situation is really puzzling.
