"Don't worry. I'll get to the bottom of the matter." Zhang Nan nodded solemnly, collected the map, and went directly to the capital with the people entering the city

"stop, what do you do?" The soldiers at the door were strict with everyone who went in and out. When they found Zhang Nan, a soldier stopped him and asked harshly.

"The scholar who went to Beijing to study is preparing for next year's scientific examination." Zhang Nan pursed a smile and lowered his head to say.

"Scholar? Where are you from? " The soldier circled Zhang Nan and asked suspiciously.

"Zunyi Prefecture, Sichuan." Zhang Nan said.

"It's quite far away. It's thousands of miles apart, but the scholars are very poor. I don't think you're dressed like a scholar, are you?" The soldier asked again.

"My Lord, I'm really a scholar, but I've been in that wild village since I was a child, and I've never seen the world before. I'm afraid that people will laugh at me when I come to a metropolis like Beijing. So I spent money to buy such a good dress. People depend on clothes and horses and saddles. With this beautiful dress, people can't see that I'm a poor scholar from that wild place." Zhang Nan explained quickly.

"Oh, I see. Face, face, I know. Don't mention that you look like a dog when you put on your clothes. You can go in. If you win the top three and become a senior official, don't forget my great kindness to you today." The soldier made way for Zhang Nan.

"Thank you, my Lord. Thank you, my Lord." Zhang Nan repeatedly thanks, quickly into the city.

Since leaving Zhangjia village, Zhangnan has gone to many places, but Qiyun County, a small county, is the first such prosperous one Zhang Nan saw.

Even though it is almost sunset, there are still many people in the county. People are coming and going on the streets.

The sound of Hawking, shouting, juggling, and selling arts are heard all the time.

Zhang Nan is walking on the street, looking at the happy smiles of the people. Such a prosperous place makes it difficult for Zhang Nan to connect with Liu Yun's words that officials from all levels of the government collude with the people.

Is Liu Yun telling lies?

Zhang Nan thought in his heart, according to the map given by Liu Yun, he was ready to go to the county magistrate's office to have a look.

After a few busy streets, Zhang Nan walked through several streets and soon came to a quiet street. It was totally different from the noisy streets just now. There was no one, and even a terrible silence.

"Well, what do you do?" At this time, several soldiers quickly gathered around Zhang Nan, looking at Zhang Nan with evil spirits and vigilance.

"No, I just want to find out where the county government is?" Zhang Nan smiles awkwardly and looks at a high wall in front of him. The wall is four or five feet high, which should be what Liu Yun said about the city wall of the county government.

"This is the county government. What do you want to do?" The leading soldier questioned Zhang Nan.

"Report it. Is it OK to report it?" Zhang Nan replied.

"It's OK to report the case, but the county magistrate no longer accepts the case. You'd better come at noon tomorrow." The leading soldier said that he wanted to drive Zhang Nan away.

"Noon, why at noon?" Zhang Nan asked again.

"Because our county magistrate only works at noon, no one is allowed to disturb the rest of the time." The leading soldier said, and suddenly looked at Zhang Nan with fierce eyes: "I said, why do you have so many problems? I told you to leave here quickly. Do you hear me, or I'll catch you and put you in jail directly? Do you believe me?"

"How can you do this? I didn't break the law, I didn't make trouble. Why should you arrest me and send me to death row?" Zhang Nan was not convinced and retorted directly.

"If you break into this place, we can catch you." The leading soldier said rudely.

"This is not the territory of your county magistrate. Why can you arrest me? What's more, the magistrate only accepts cases at noon every day. In such a big county, there are many cases every day. He has to deal with so many things in one hour. I'm afraid there are many unjust and wrong cases, right? " Zhang Nan said.

"Hey, I said you're still going on, aren't you? You want something to do?" The leading soldier sneered and pulled out his knife: "I'll give you a final warning. If you don't leave again, don't blame us for being merciless. It's just a tough guy. I'll kill you."

"Why, are you officers so domineering and bullying the people?" Zhang Nan squints at the leading soldier, and his heart can't help but raise a fury. Is it true what Liu Yun said?

"Boy, it seems that you are really toasting instead of drinking?" The leader soldier said, the knife has been put on Zhang Nan's neck.

"Do you want to kill me here?" Zhang Nan asked coldly.

"To kill you is like killing a chicken. If I pull my sharp knife lightly, you will spill your blood and die here." In his opinion, killing a man is no different from killing a chicken."As officials on one side, you should be so domineering and indiscriminately killing innocent people. It seems that if you don't teach me a lesson, I can't do it." Zhang Nan said, without waiting for the leader's reaction, he suddenly grabbed the knife from the leader's hand.

"Why, do you kill me now, or do I kill you?" Zhang Nan put the knife on the neck of the leading soldier and said in a deep voice.

"I, you, are you a human or a ghost, too fast?" The leading soldier looked at Zhang Nan in consternation, one after another in cold sweat.

"I really want to kill you guys who are tyrannical. But I still have something to find out today. I'll spare your life for a while. If you dare to do anything wrong again, don't blame me for being ruthless." Zhang Nan then returned the knife to the leading soldier and left the alley.

Today, he and Yan'er have eaten in the capital. At this time, Zhang Nan has already left the alley, and he wanders to a restaurant. The restaurant business is booming, and the guests come and go.

Zhang Nan got up and went in. The waiter immediately welcomed him: "my guest, come all the way. What can I eat?"

"Give me a bowl of white rice and stir fry two small dishes." Zhang Nan sat down and said.

"No wine? You've been on your way all day. Have a drink and stay with us to make sure you sleep well. " The shop boy asked again.

"No, I don't stay." Zhang Nan chuckled and said.

"Oh, it's boring." The shopkeeper saw that he was earning a few Liang less. He shook his head helplessly and complained: "another poor man."
