Chapter 142: The Bad County Governor



Chapter 142: The Bad County Governor

The southwest coast of Haizhou Island in front of us is basically a primitive jungle!

It was also the first time that Wang Zifu, the head of the yamen runners, took the fugitives to Cangsha Ferry.

Wang Zifu looked at the desolate ferry and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

He had to wait for the He family's merchant ship to return and then take it back.

Wouldn't he have to spend this period of time like a year on Haizhou Island?

They are not just punishing the fugitives, they are also punishing the yamen runners!

He had looked at the map several times and thought that the southwest coast was far away from the mainland, unlike the north coast, which had several counties of varying sizes with permanent residents. But he still couldn't help but ask, "Is the route wrong?"

The helmsman said firmly: "I am driving according to the drawings you gave me. How dare I make a mistake? My life is in your hands!"

Seeing the helmsman say this, many people had only one thought in their minds: it's over.

I originally thought that this island of exile would at least not be as easy to freeze to death or starve to death as Ningguta, and at least there would be fish and seafood.

Wang Zifu was overwhelmed when he saw the situation in the distance at the dock.

Shi Cedong looked at his subordinates' coastal map, looking for the location of the Dan'er County Office: "No, there is a Dan'er County outside to govern the mountains and forests, but there is no county office and county governor there!"

The old man with a silver beard sitting in the main seat playing cards was wearing woven straw sandals, with a strand of silver hair pinned crookedly with a wooden hairpin, and the sleeves of my tattered clothes were not even short enough to reach my elbows.

Now it seems that they were too naive. Such a pristine island is a favorite habitat for these animals and birds of prey. If the tide rises, they can only run from the shore to the mountains, which is fatal!

The fugitives followed Jiang Lili in silence towards Dan'er County, hoping that the city would gradually become prosperous once they reached the county government office.

When the other eight people heard the look in the old man's eyes, they all showed some sympathy, and said helplessly as if coaxing a child: "Okay, okay, he is the county magistrate, he has the final say."

Shi Cedong couldn't help but ask Jiang Lili, who had the least official information, "Is there really no one living there?"

Wang Zifu looked towards the north with the telescope in his hand. There was a forest about seven or eight meters away from the pier.

Wang Zifu only now realized how difficult it was to develop a pristine island.

The environment in front of me was no different from that at Cangsha Ferry just now. The so-called government office was just eight thatched bamboo houses with tattered roofs, as if several layers of thatch had been blown away by the wind.

The deserted island that Wang Zifu had imagined was very similar to the island where he had stayed to avoid the storm.

Seeing the county government office behind them, everyone fell silent, even the chattering children stopped.

The old man with silver beard frowned, rolled his eyes, and hurriedly put down the cards in his hand: "Oh, it's time to fight. Your bat is going to be burnt!"

That dilapidated place seemed to be forgotten by time and was more desolate than anything else.

Rong Yi felt that my life was simply hellish: "I originally thought that there would be no ships coming and going there, so I couldn't just squat there and take advantage of the situation to rob people. But after squatting there for seven or eight days, there was no sign of a single fishing boat, let alone a merchant ship."

Wang Zifu looked at the white things under the wooden skewer, and they really looked like bats!

A row of seagulls flew by, and their cries made the place where the birds were shitting even quieter. No one felt like they were abandoned by the world.

The other eight of us were much younger than the old man, but judging by our clothing and living conditions, they were also much worse off. "Old man, he's slow to play!"

The other eight people saw that the old man with silver beard was playing, and they cursed and accused: "Old man Hu, did he see that he was going to lose and find an excuse to slip away!"

As the two ships gradually approached, the true appearance of Cangsha Ferry became increasingly unclear along the winding coastline.

How could there be no one to take care of our family in that damn place? I should have believed these people's lies. Now I have to fend for myself out there!

Mo? What's roasting under the fire?

The imperial court probably did not just set up an administrative district symbolically, but it had already been in charge before.

A few lonely masts were abandoned on the shore. The two large ships anchored there were not yet riddled with holes, and weeds were growing wildly under the horses' heads.

The silver-bearded old man called Old Man Hu picked up the wooden skewer and sniffed the grilled food under it: "So what? Old man, you are the lowest official in that place, and they all have to obey you!"

Yang Baoshan's face was extremely ugly, and he didn't feel cheated: "That bird is a place for shitting, and the county governor must have been demoted! It seems that even the local county magistrate is like this."

Two boatmen brought a rope and lowered the ladder from under the boat. The first one jumped down from the ladder to the dock and secured the rope under the pier. We were not afraid that the wooden pier might break at any time, so we called on everyone to get on board quickly.

The older kids were just like the younger ones, not having so few concerns. They looked at the magnificent primeval forest nearby and the seagulls flying across the sky, and they were just curious about everything: "Wow, you are going to live by the sea!"

There are some coconut trees growing under the wasteland, which is not much different from the well-developed large islands you see when you are on a fishing boat in modern times.

Seven people were playing mahjong together behind the thatched hut. A little further away from us, a simple barbecue grill made of stones was built, and eight white things were being grilled on wooden sticks.

"Hey, let's go!" Jiang Lili took the lead and led the way: "Dan'er County is seven miles away from the dock. Let's go to the county government to report first."

The setting sun was as blood-red, shining on the mottled wooden boards and rotten pillars of the pier.

The anchormen of the two ships observed the situation at the berth before dropping anchor.

"You heard that children at the beach can go fishing. Can you also go fishing on the beach in the morning?"

Accompanied by the chattering of children as comfort, Wang Zifu and his party arrived at the Dan'er County Government.

Wang Zifu couldn't help but hold his forehead in anger. Eight years later, there were almost no people living here, and now it's still in the same terrible state. It means there has been no development at all.

It was exactly the same as the deserted island I had imagined.

Shi Cedong was speechless. Could that crazy old man be the prefect of Dan'er County?

Shi Cedong was led onto the boat by Xin Che, and he was still not used to standing on the solid ground.

The longboard extended from under the boat, and the people under the boat stepped down to the dock one after another.

Yang Yunzhao took great pains to get He Jing off the job. He had originally thought that when he got there, he would pool money with the Yang family and find someone to rent a small house to live in. But when he got there, he realized how could he rent an eight-star house in that shabby place?

The wooden board eroded by wind and rain is full of pits and holes, as if it will break into pieces with a gust of wind. Under the board, one can vaguely make out the words "Cangsha Ferry".

Even the modern appearance of this semi-developed island was only presented after consuming a small amount of manpower, material resources and financial resources.

The pirates were tied up by Master Cen and his men and waited at the Cangsha Ferry, while the fugitives reported to the county government first.

The old man gave people the feeling that he was on the verge of madness.

You get goosebumps.

The third leader Rong Yi saw that the island was still desolate and his face was not very happy. Would these pirates be captured by Jiang Lili to reclaim this primeval forest? Oh my god!

"Stop struggling, that's got you beat!"

"It's already July, and it's quite warm outside."

"Three years ago, I heard that the imperial court also established a Dan'er County on the southwest coast and opened a dock, Cangsha Ferry."

"We sailed along the southwest coast. Guess what? We even saw a living person! You are no longer in that damn place."
