Chapter 890: Chapter 890: The Clear Stream in the County Magistrate’s Office

Thinking of this, County Magistrate Fat Ball felt extremely restless.

Old Uncle Qiu also frowned with concern: "If the Ninth Prince really intends to settle scores after Autumn, what are your plans, County Magistrate?"

County Magistrate Fat Ball looked sorrowful: "Speaking of which, I was the one who ordered the suppression of bandits. If worst comes to worst, I’ll take full responsibility. If the Ninth Prince really blames me, I will bear the burden alone."

Old Uncle Qiu did not expect County Magistrate Fat Ball to think this way and couldn’t help but feel somewhat moved.

In this world, there aren’t many people like County Magistrate Fat Ball.

You must know, nowadays, there are many of Black Spider’s people who have been pacified in the County Yamen, even their few father and son are considered "meritorious friends in bandit-catching." If it were someone else who fears death, they might push all blame onto them to ensure their own safety.

"Sir, rest assured, you have merits in suppressing bandits and your reputation in Dai County is extremely high. I don’t think the Ninth Prince will really use the suppression of bandits to make an issue of it. If I were him, I would avoid the heavy and choose the light, you had better look over the case files of these years, check for any oversights, or perhaps it’s more important to guard against political enemies."

"Yes, yes, yes!" enlightened by Old Uncle Qiu’s words, County Magistrate Fat Ball suddenly saw the light.

He hurriedly called out to Uncle Master and other clerical personnel in the Yamen to gather in the study and quickly review the files.

Originally, everyone was preparing for the Ninth Prince’s impending visit to Dai County again, and seeing the County Magistrate suddenly asking them to review all the case files over the years, they were all baffled.

"My lord, what are we meant to do?"

"I’ve thought it over carefully. The Ninth Prince has seen all facets of life, our Yamen, no matter how clean, is just a pig sty and dog pen in his eyes. It’s better to organize these case files. If the Ninth Prince decides to take a look at our work environment on a whim, it would also show off everyone’s talents, wouldn’t it?"

Everyone was enlightened and their eyes brightened. The County Magistrate was intending to lift them up.

After all, when high-ranking officials visit, doesn’t every County Magistrate host them in the best restaurants? Aren’t these places where small Registrars, historiographers, and Uncle Masters can go? Even if these dignitaries visit the Yamen, it’s at most a brief stroll in the court hall.

Other County Magistrates are all about flattery, ensuring their own smooth career, who would care about them?

But their own County Magistrate Fat Ball, truly a refreshing breath of air among County Magistrates, not thinking of entertaining dignitaries with fine food and drink, but rather considering letting the dignitaries see their working conditions.

It was truly touching.

"..." Old Uncle Qiu.

"???" County Magistrate.

In this way, under the arrangement of Lord County Magistrate, those responsible for documentation began frantically examining various cases. Anything in the case files not recorded properly, those that did not fit the format, and even unresolved, mistaken, or falsely resolved cases, everyone was giving their utmost effort to review, determined to put Dai County in perfect order before the arrival of the Ninth Prince.

In a blink, the day mentioned by the Ninth Prince arrived, and the County Magistrate led everyone at Dai County city gate to welcome him, but unfortunately, they did not see the Ninth Prince’s carriage the entire day.

The County Magistrate thought, perhaps the Ninth Prince got held up while inspecting An County?

After all, Doctor Hu, who had recently sought refuge in Dai County, said that An County is very chaotic and unreliable.

The Ninth Prince must be planning to visit all the county towns along the way back to Biluo, meeting his subordinates.

It would be the first public appearance after conquering the Eastern Land after all.

Realizing this, the Fat County Magistrate’s anxious heart stabilized again, but after patiently waiting for five days, he still did not see Yuwen Jun’s carriage.
