"Mr. Zhuo!"

Zhuo Yutang has been in Songnan Prefecture for nearly ten years. When he was about to leave, the government office still came to see him off. This scene also fell in Shen Yu's eyes, and it can be seen that these people seemed to be reluctant to leave Zhuo Yutang.

After learning that Zhuo Yutang was dismissed, the people of the entire Songnan Prefecture are cheering, except for these people.

Zhuo Yutang is poor and has no benefit from following him, and he is still very angry. Even if he is such a person, can someone still be reluctant to leave him?

When Chen Yu suddenly appeared, these people lowered their heads, and no one knew what the new prefect had. If they had a grudge, they would be done.

"Are you sending Lord Zhuo?"

"Yes!" Several people did not hide it, but nodded and admitted it directly. One of them even blurted out after hesitating for a moment, "Sir, Master Zhuo is actually a good official!"

"Good official?" Brother, do you have a misunderstanding of this word? Such people are good officials, so there will be no money in the world.

"There are some things that the adults don't know, and those people don't know. In fact, Lord Zhuo has been eating simple food over the years, and even his clothes are torn. All his salary is used to help those persecuted people."

"I have been an official for decades, but I have no more than one or two dollars in wealth. This is Lord Zhuo!"

"Is that true!" This answer did not shock Chen Yu too much. He was secretly observing the whole process of Zhuo Yutang leaving. This Lord Zhuo was indeed as greedy and willing to be poor as mentioned in the secret report.

All his luggage was just some old clothes, some calligraphy and painting books, but nothing was made of gold, silver, jewelry, etc.

It is really hard to imagine that such an official would be a mediocre person. His departure even made the people of Songnan Prefecture celebrate. Being an official would undoubtedly be a very failure to do so.

No matter what, after all, he is also the prefect of his ex, so it’s better to give him a trip!

"I was surprised that Lord Shen came to see me off!" When I saw Chen Yu walking over, I might have let go of the entanglement in my heart. At this time, Zhuo Yutang was not at all worried, but was just calm.

"After all, Lord Zhuo has been a prefect in Songnan Prefecture for so many years, so it is appropriate for me to come and give it away. However, I still said the same thing, Lord Zhuo, you are not a good official. But I have to admit that you are a clean official!"

"I want to thank Lord Shen for the praise, but you don't know some things. The water in Songnan Mansion is deeper than you think!"

Seeing this Lord Shen, Zhuo Yutang seemed to see himself back then. He was passionate and full of justice. He wanted to plead for the people, but thoughts were ultimately thoughts, and reality would break all thoughts into pieces.

If this is a world of low martial arts, his personal force is not that strong, as the prefect, he can still show his ambitions with the authority of the court. But this is a world of high martial arts, and there are countless masters who fight against a hundred.

These people in Songnan Prefecture not only have the status of a powerful person, but also have absolute force. With the combination of the two, they are far from being able to compete with them.

I am a weak scholar, like a three-year-old child in front of them, and can only be controlled by others. The sharpness of the past has been completely polished and smoothly in repeated blows. Until now, I have become even less aware of myself.

Well, what's the point of being an official like this? Now that you are liberated is a good thing for you.

"Mr. Zhuo, it was a surprise to me that you could abide by yourself, but since you were not in the same circle, why did you bow to those people? Do you know that when you heard that you were replaced, the people of Songnan Prefecture were cheering!"

"I know, I know all this!" After sighing softly, Zhuo Yutang raised his head slightly and looked at the lively street market not far away, with a complex expression in his eyes.

"But I never wanted to do this. Can these people in Songnan Prefecture be afforded by me, a powerless person? I also wanted to plead for the people and make decisions for the people. I also wanted to be proud and not afraid of the powerful, but reality does not allow it."

After being stimulated by Chen Yu, Zhuo Yutang finally revealed his thoughts. Over the years, some words have been kept in his heart for a long time, so long that he doesn't know who to say or what to say.

"Mr. Shen, do you know? Over the years, I have tried my best to make myself different. Do you know how many temptations are placed in front of me every day? Gold, silver, jewelry, famous calligraphy and paintings, and stunning beauty, which one is not mouth-watering!"

"What else can I do in the face of these temptations? I can only immerse myself in writing and writing every day so that I can barely wake up and avoid being completely corrupted."

"As for asking for the people? Haha!" He sneered, Zhuo Yutang's face was full of sarcasm, as if he was mocking himself for his cowardly over the years.

"At the beginning, I was like Lord Shen. But do you know how arrogant they are? They can get people out of the case I tried in the morning, and all the complainants were washed away!"

"The people who were taken out changed their appearance within two days, and they changed their names and wandered on the streets to continue to bully the people and continue to act arrogantly. These people also told me that they were just brothers, not the same person. Do they think everyone is a fool!"

"But all my memorials are like stones sinking to the sea, but they are reprimanding them again and again. Over time, I will know one thing that I can't move these people at all. Do you know, Lord Shen, we can't move them at all!"

Speaking of this, Zhuo Yutang's face was full of bitterness and sighed sadly, "It was not until this time that I realized that they are not fools, I am!"

"So I can only hide myself desperately during these times, avoid the sharp edge of the powerful, and rely on the little bit of the authority of the prefect to protect other people."

"This operation is so sensible!" Zhuo Yutang's words also made Chen Yu see the arrogance of the people from Songnan Mansion, which was not concealed at all.

And it is estimated that everyone in the government office is from other people. A weak scholar like Zhuo Yutang is isolated and helpless. In addition, this Lord Zhuo is actually average in his struggle and does not understand the twists and turns and is bullied.

What Zhuo Yutang is doing is so cowardly!

"Mr. Shen, to be honest, I actually thought about transferring over the years, but I applied several times, but I was rejected again and again. Over time, I gave up and could only wait here slowly!"

"Nonsense!" Chen Yu felt a little sad for him when he heard this. Such people can be obedient and have some money to pay for. The most important thing is easy to grasp. It is not as smooth as those old fried dough sticks, which is of course what they need.

I finally came across such a foolish person. I still want to leave after coming here, so stay here.

"Master Shen!" Speaking of this, Zhuo Yutang sighed deeply, "Listen to my advice, whether it is the powerful or the big family, it is not something that a poor scholar like you and me can afford. Only by protecting yourself first can you save more people in the cracks!"

"Mr. Zhuo, some things are not something we can just bow our heads. Compromise for survival can only be achieved step by step!"

"What I want to tell them is that from today on, the rules of Songnan Prefecture have changed!"
