"Thank you for saving me, sir!"

The young woman saw that the big men had been dealt with, so she slowly walked over to thank him.

"No need to be polite."

Su Yan waved his hand and said,"I wonder why the young lady was chased by a group of evil men in such a cold and cold night?"

"Sir, you don't know this."

The young woman sighed and said,"I was originally going back to my hometown to visit my relatives, but I encountered bandits on the way. The guards who accompanied me died in the battle to protect me, and I am the only one who escaped here."

"If I hadn't happened to meet you here, I'm afraid I would have been in danger of being robbed today."

At this point, she looked at Su Yan gratefully.

"It's just a small matter, not worth mentioning."

Su Yan shook his head and said,"I haven't asked for your name yet."

"My name is Zou Yu, and I am from the Zou family in Zhuo County.

"Zhuo County? Miss Zou is from Zhuo County, so it's convenient."

Su Yan smiled and said,"I am also going to Zhuo County this time. If you don't mind, you can follow me back."

"In this case, I thank you, sir.

Zou Yu bowed and thanked him.

"Miss Zou, you don't need to thank me. I just need to ask you something."

"Sir, please speak."

"I would like to ask Miss Zou to tell me about the situation in Zhuo County"

""Why do you ask this question, young master?" Zou Yu asked in confusion.

Su Yan smiled and said,"To be honest, I am going to Zhuo County to take up my post."

"To take up the post? Ah! Could it be......Sir, are you the new county magistrate?"

Zou Yu looked at Su Yan in surprise.

"That's right." Su Yan smiled and nodded.

Zou Yu thought for a moment, shook her head and said,"I usually stay at home and don't know much about the situation in Zhuo County. I'm afraid I can't help you, sir."

"It's okay, just tell me what you know."

Su Yan said.

Zou Yu nodded, and then told Su Yan some things she knew about Zhuo County.

Zhuo County has been a historical place since the Warring States Period and an important city of the State of Yan.

Later, after the Qin Dynasty conquered Yan, a county was also established here as the seat of Zhuo County.

Due to its historical heritage, Zhuo County has produced many celebrities.

As far as Su Yan knows,

Liu Bei, the founding emperor of the Shu Kingdom in the Three Kingdoms period, was from this place.

In addition, his sworn brother, Zhang Fei, the Marquis of Han Heng, was also from Zhuo County. In addition,

Lu Zhi, a great scholar in the country and the minister of the court, was also from this place.

There are many other celebrities, but the most famous ones in this era are the three above.

Of course, since Zou Yu is a woman, she is usually at home and it is not convenient for her to show up, so she doesn't know much about the situation in Zhuo County.

What Su Yan knew from her, that is , the situation of the family of Dai County.

The two of the Zou family are the businessmen of the Shang Jia. Although there are officials in the family, they are either official or not local officials, and the forces are not very strong in the local area. Zhen 's and others are still worse. In addition to these three, there are some small families.

"It seems that if you want to know the details, you have to wait until tomorrow."

Su Yan sighed, and simply stopped thinking about it, leaning on the straw and fell asleep.

The next morning.

The servant drove the carriage, carrying Su Yan and Zou Yu in the back, and set off for Zhuo County.

After driving for half a day, they entered Zhuo County in the afternoon.

Along the way, after entering Zhuo County,

Su Yan looked out of the carriage window and saw a desolate scene outside.

Although there are farmlands around the official road, no one takes care of them, and weeds are overgrown. Even if you see some villages and houses, they are sparsely populated and look dilapidated.

Su Yan couldn't help frowning when he saw this.

According to what Zou Yu said, there are many noble families in Zhuo County, and it should be very rich.

Why is it like this as soon as you enter the country?

Su Yan, who was puzzled, asked the servant to speed up and rush to Zhuo County.

Gradually, a high city wall emerged on the distant horizon.

Zhuo County, here we are!

""Sir, there are a group of refugees blocking the city gate ahead, and we can't move forward for the time being."

At this time, the servant Xiaoyu reminded.

Su Yan lifted the curtain of the carriage, got off the carriage, and said,"Wait here, I'll go and take a look."

Zou Yu then lifted the curtain and reminded,"Sir, I see that the refugees look fierce, and I'm afraid they will cause trouble."

"It doesn't matter."

Su Yan waved his hand and walked straight ahead. After a moment, he came to the end of the refugee team.

"Sirs, please give us some food!"

"Our food has been taken away by the Huns. Please have pity on us."

"Save us!"

These refugees, dressed in rags, with dull eyes and sallow faces, gathered at the city gate and begged the officials at the gate.

""You bunch of lowly people, quickly disperse and stop blocking the road!"

An assistant official wearing a tall hat and official uniform looked at the group of refugees and said sternly.

"Please be merciful, my child is starving to death.

A woman holding her baby in her arms begged

""Come on, drive these lowly people away! Anyone who dares to block the road will be killed regardless of life or death!" the assistant official shouted.

The soldiers guarding the city rushed over with weapons in hand, and the refugees retreated in fear.

However, some old people had already sat on the ground and could not get up.

The soldiers did not care. Seeing someone blocking their way, they raised their knives and chopped him off.

"stop!"
