Tang Yin asked: "Why are we killing Mayor?"

The waiter said, "The new county chief has listed twenty-three crimes against the Mayor, each of them capital crimes."

Tang Yin raised his eyebrows and asked: "Did the original Mayor really commit so many death crimes?"

The waitress nodded and said, "That's all over. If we really do investigate, we can let him die a hundred times without wronging him!"

Tang Yin said: "Since that's the case, then this is a good thing. This shows that the new county chief has helped An City eliminate a great disaster."

The waiter scoffed, and said: "The new governor is so infuriated, I can only say that it was bad luck for the Mayor to fall into the hands of the new county magistrate. In fact, I see that the new county magistrate is no different from the previous county magistrate, they are all people from the wind, the wind people are barbaric, brutal and greedy, just you watch, in a few days, the new county magistrate will be completely revealed!"

Hearing that, Ah San frowned, he subconsciously raised his hand and touched the hilt of his sword. Tang Yin looked at the two of them, signalling to them not to fight.

Through the words of the waiter, Tang Yin could clearly feel the disgust, rejection and helplessness of the Wind Man. Presumably, the original An Cheng Mayor had done a lot of wicked things, which led to the locals misunderstanding about the Windman so deeply.

He smiled and said, "Little brother, don't think of all the people from the Wind Dwellers as greedy and evil people. Who knows, this new county magistrate might be someone who loves the common people."

"That's really a pie falling from the sky. In the past, Mayor, the county leaders and even County Head were all people from the wind, but not a single one was a good official ?"

After saying that, he suddenly stopped, and looked at Tang Yin with a strange gaze, and asked curiously: "Eh? From the sound of it, you should be an ordinary person, but why are you speaking up for the Windman? "

Tang Yin laughed with his back facing the sky, and waved his hands saying: "I will not speak up for anyone, and only stand on the side that has reason. The current Feng King is not an ignorant prince, if the local officials are truly incompetent, harming one side of the citizens, the Feng King will not sit idly by! "

The waiter could not help but laugh out loud. As he went to get some tea, he shook his head and laughed: "I heard you speak as if you knew the Feng King."

Tang Yin waved his fan, but laughed silently.

Soon, the waiter brought the tea and fruits up one by one. Tang Yin, Yin Rou and the rest were sitting in the teahouse, resting and drinking tea. When they were done eating and drinking, they heard the bustling sounds of discussion coming from the street.

Tang Yin sat by the window and peeked his head out, only to see a large group of people appearing at the end of the street. Listening carefully, everyone started to discuss the scene when the Mayor was beheaded, and some even started to talk about the new Mayor.

It could be heard that the citizens were all applauding and cheering when they heard that the original Mayor had been beheaded, and there were varying levels of praise and disapproval towards the new county chief and the new Mayor.

Some people said that just by looking at the power of the new county chief and the new Mayor to punish corrupt officials and abolishing the harsh tax practices, it was possible to tell that they were good officials who loved their people.

Others took the same view as the waiters, saying that it was only a feint for the new officials, and that they would later become corrupt officials themselves, or levy all sorts of strange taxes.

Tang Yin listened attentively to the discussions of the citizens on the streets. At the same time, he secretly nodded his head, the previous officials had caused too much harm to the local people, so it was impossible for them to erase the misunderstanding of the citizens.

After resting for a while, Tang Yin said to Yin Rou who was beside him: "Rou Er, we should leave!"

Yin Rou nodded, then stood up and walked out. Ah San left the tea leaves and quickly followed him out.

Once they were outside, Tang Yin, Yin Rou and the rest entered the carriage, while Ah San drove the carriage and asked: "Young Noble, where are we going now?"

"Let's go to the Mayor Palace and see what kind of person the newly appointed county chief and Mayor is." Tang Yin said with a smile. The new County Chief was recommended by the Political Hall. He also wanted to see if the talents recommended by the Political Hall were truly capable.

However, to Tang Yin's disappointment, the county chief was not in An Cheng, and at the moment, only the newly appointed Mayor was in Mayor Palace.

After arriving at the Mayor Palace, Tang Yin took the lead to get off the carriage. Just as he walked to the main entrance of the Mayor Palace, he was stopped by a guard outside the door.

One of the guards stepped forward, and asked with a deep voice: "Do you know where this place is before walking in? Mayor Palace is a place where you can enter whenever you want? "

The guard's tone was overbearing and unyielding, but Tang Yin was not angry, he smiled and said: "I am a merchant from An City, I am here to pay my respects to Lord Mayor." While he was speaking, he deliberately used the accent of Feng Country.

Ouch! It was a man of the wind! Hearing his accent, the guard's attitude immediately softened, and said: "So it is Old Man Feng, wait here for a moment, I will report to Mayor."

"Thank you very much." "You're welcome!"

Not long after the guard entered, he quickly walked out from Mayor Palace and smiled at Tang Yin: "This little brother, Lord Mayor is here to invite you!"1

Tang Yin thanked her again before returning to the side of the carriage, helping Yin Rou off the carriage. Then, with one hand on her slender waist, he slowly walked into the Mayor's residence.

When the guards on both sides saw Yin Rou, they were also stunned. They were tongue-tied and could not help but sigh in their hearts, how could there be such a beautiful lady in the world!

Ah San did not follow them in, but stayed outside to look after the carriage. Ao Qing and Xiao Min who were dressed as Maidservant followed behind Tang Yin and.

Although the Mayor Residence was not small, it still looked to be mediocre. Passing through the hallway, they entered the main hall. A middle-aged man dressed in a Official Robe was sitting on a bed in the middle, leaning on the desk as he worked.

Hearing the footsteps, he then put down the scroll in his hands, raised his head and looked at Tang Yin and Yin Rou.

When he clearly saw the appearance of the two, the middle-aged man was startled. What a handsome man and woman, the man and woman standing side by side were like a pair of wall-men, a perfect couple walking out of a painting.

He was stunned for a moment, then involuntarily stood up and clasped his hands together. "I wonder who the two of you are ?"

"I am Tang Chu, and this is my wife, Rou Er!" Tang Yin cupped his hands and replied with a smile.

"So it's Young Master Tang. Please sit, please sit!" The middle-aged man smiled and waved his hands casually.

The other party was just an ordinary merchant, and he was the lord of a city. Even he himself found it strange that they would be so courteous to this young couple.

This was what he had explained to himself. It was probably because Tang Yin and Yin Rou were too beautiful that he had neglected the noble and noble temperament that naturally exuded from the two of them without getting angry.

"I heard that Master Mayor is a newly appointed An Cheng Mayor, my wife and I just happened to be at An Cheng so we came to visit. Please forgive us, Sir Mayor." Tang Yin said politely.

"Aiya, Young Master Tang is too polite. We're all old friends, there's no need to be so formal." It was rare to meet someone from the wind in such a remote Mo Country, and it was such an outstanding couple. The middle-aged man was also very happy, so he asked: "May I ask where Young Noble's family resides?"

"He was originally at the Yan City, but has now moved to the Zhenjiang." Tang Yin joked: "Looks like I'm fated to be with the imperial government. I'll follow wherever the imperial government is!"

The middle-aged man was amused by his words, and sighed: "Speaking of Yan City, I haven't been home for a long time!"

After pausing for a moment, he continued, "Oh yes, I am called Cao Zhang, Young Master Tang do not need to call me Lord Mayor. "I'm a few years older than Young Master Tang, if Young Master Tang doesn't mind, please call me Brother Cao!"

This new Mayor was actually quite easygoing! Tang Yin's good impression of him increased, and he laughed: "Since brother Cao has said so, then I will not be courteous, but brother Cao, stop calling me Young Master Tang, it sounds like you are acting out of place!"

"Ha ha!" Cao Zhang laughed and said: "Then I'll just call you Brother Tang."

Tang Yin nodded, he changed the topic and said: "Brother Cao, this is my first time in An City, I feel that this place is very desolate!"

"That's right!" Cao Zhang let out a long sigh, then said while shaking his head: "The previous Mayor Guan Tai was an impotent person, loved money and beauties. She amassed wealth and bullied men and women everywhere in An City, which could be said to be committing all sorts of crimes. In the past, An City had a population of over a hundred thousand, but now, it's down to less than thirty thousand. "

Hearing that, a glint flashed across Tang Yin's eyes, and he coldly said: "Such a faint official, is indeed worthy of being punished!"

Cao Zhang was shocked by the cold Qi that instantly emanated from his body. Seeing him looking at himself in a daze, Tang Yin realized that he had lost his composure. He retracted the gloominess on his face and laughed: "As a commoner, what you hate the most are the unconscious and evil officials. Guan Tai is doing good deeds here, and the citizens not only hate him, but also hate my Imperial Court.

"What little brother said is extremely true!" As if he had found a good friend, Cao Zhang nodded his head and said, "That's why my new Mayor is having so much trouble in An City. Right now, I can't even summon the city guards ?"

At this point, he had a worried look on his face as he looked up at the sky and let out a long sigh.

Tang Yin was startled, and asked: "Why can't we summon the city's army?"

"Firstly, the treasury is extremely short and has no money. Secondly, the people of Mo are unwilling to serve as soldiers for us Wind People, even the guards of my Mayor Palace are the Wind Man Domestic Servant that I brazenly asked the County Lord for!"

Saying that, Cao Zhang laughed out loud with a bitter smile.

It was truly a lamentable thing for a government official to have made it to such a state. Tang Yin also sighed in his heart, and then asked curiously: "Brother Cao, why are you so anxious to gather the city guards?"

"Naturally, it's to deal with the traitors!" Cao Zhang said in a serious tone: "Little brother, I, An Cheng, do not know, there is security in the name of An Cheng, but it is actually not safe at all. It is located about 15 kilometers away from An City, and there is a large group of Mountain Bandits gathered.
