As soon as Tian Feng entered the county government, he felt that the atmosphere in the government office was a bit strange. On the surface, the old guard and the officials who were welcomed seemed to be different from the past, but the lower eyes clearly had a different meaning, some were pity, some were frightened, some were gloating, and some were full of worry. After he walked over, several minor officials whispered and whispered.

Tian Feng couldn't hear what they were saying, but he knew in his heart that this must be because they heard about Chen Rui's arrest. Originally, Yuyang County was the county seat, and the news was conveyed very quickly. In addition, Yuyang Tian family is a "giant" in this county, and anyone who can be a minor official in the government office and county office has some background, so it is not surprising that they know this.

Tian Feng ignored them and handed the reins to the old soldiers. After going to the government hall, he summoned the minor officials to come in. He sat behind the desk in front of the hall, looked at the minor officials standing in front of the hall, and asked, "Is there anything wrong in the county in recent days?"

A leading clerk replied: "Nothing else is done."

Tian Feng nodded, and he looked in front of the hall, and suddenly found that one person was missing among the minor officials. Seven people were greeting him just now, but now only six people were there. He moved his heart and looked up at the courtyard. He saw one person coming in, but wasn’t it the missing minor official? The minor official hurriedly climbed the steps, took off his shoes, arched his waist and walked into the hall, and said respectfully: “Chief, someone outside the yamen is asking for a visit.”

——Tian Feng remembered that the minor official named Wang De was a full-time official who listened to lawsuits, and seemed to have a connection with the Tian family in Yuyang. He looked at him meaningfully and asked, "Who is asking for a meeting?"

Wang De replied: "The villain doesn't know him either. The man only said that he was a guest of the Tian family in Yuyang, and he asked the chief clerk to attend the banquet at the order of his head."

"What banquet?"

"Maybe I heard that the chief clerk has recovered from his illness and would like to congratulate him on his health?"

Tian Feng was so angry that he thought, "I didn't expect that there were also his eyes and ears in my government office! This little official must have gone to inform me. By the way, as soon as I came back, his guests came, and the Tian family was far away from the government office. It is expected that the guest who came to his house had been waiting outside the government office." After thinking for a moment, he thought, "Will I go to this banquet, or not?"

Then he quickly made a decision, waved his sleeves, and said, "I just returned to the county and I'm tired on the road. You go and decline me."

"this……"

Tian Feng stared at him calmly and asked, "What? Do you have something to say?"

Wang De's eyes flashed and he said hesitantly: "This Yuyang Tian clan is the right tribe of this county. He is highly respected and powerful in the county. The chief clerk, it is probably not good that he rejected their invitation like this."

Although the officials in the hall did not dare to speak because of the "venerable", after hearing Tian Feng's refusal and Wang De's words, they couldn't help but exchange their eyes. Finally, they all put all their eyes on Tian Feng. However, they saw that he looked as usual, sitting on the couch, stroking the long sword on the table with one hand, and touching the short moustache under the chin with the other hand, as if he looked faintly at Wang De, and then heard his answer: "You are right. Now I will temporarily serve the military and political affairs of Yuyang. In the future, I will indeed rely on the help of the county's families. But I am really incapable of this today. Let me tell him, and I will definitely visit him in person after I wash away the dust."

Wang De wanted to say something, but Tian Feng listened impatiently, and his face was still calm and gentle. He stood up a few times and said to everyone: "Since there is nothing wrong in the county these days, I will go back to the house to rest. You guys will part with each other." Without waiting for Wang De to stop him, he raised his sword and walked out of the yard along the bluestone road, and turned to the backyard.

The minor officials who stayed in the hall looked at each other, looking at me, I looked at you, no one spoke for a while. After a while, someone said, "What does the chief clerk mean?"

The officials turned to the courtyard. There was only the bluestone road in the courtyard. The lonely trees grew up and Tian Feng was missing.

Another person said, "I heard that Qianjun took Chen Rui in Yuyang County the day before yesterday, but I couldn't believe it at that time. Now it seems that the chief clerk really wants to attack the Tian family in Yuyang?"

Another person shook his head and sighed, "The Tian family in Yuyang is really too bullying. It's okay to be domineering in counties and townships, but Tian Lan didn't even give the chief clerk's face. He robbed the chief clerk's relatives and forced the chief clerk to redeem the people. The chief clerk is a child of the Tian family in Jizhou and a famous family in prefectures and counties. He heard that many elders in other clerks have been the magistrate of the two thousand stone county magistrates and state prime ministers, and they will inevitably be unable to swallow this anger. I saw that he didn't move a few days ago, and I thought he would endure it, but I didn't know that he had buried his hands here and took Chen Rui the day before the holiday."

A servant in his forties and with a goatee sighed and said, "This Yuyang Tian family has been the dominant county and township for more than a hundred years. How can it be easily won? Although the chief clerk came from a famous family, he is an outsider in our Yuyang. I am afraid he can't beat the Yuyang Tian family." After enduring it, he couldn't help it and said, "I think that the former county magistrate Xie Jun died in battle and grew up in this county. His clan is also considered a major clan in the county, but he tolerated the Yuyang Tian family and gave in thousands of ways? What's more, the chief clerk is an outsider?"

As minor officials of the government office, it was wrong to discuss Shangguan, but now they were surprised, but they couldn't even care about it.

The assistant official in his forties lowered his voice and said, "Do you still remember the incident twenty years ago? The Tian family in Yuyang died in a tough and slight manner. There were many dead soldiers and swordsmen under his sect. If the chief clerk insisted on his own, he would probably end up like that in the end! As the subordinate clerk, you should think about the superiors. You, lords, why don't we go to the backyard together and persuade the chief clerk?"

None of the officials spoke up, and Wang De sneered and said, "You are tired of living, I haven't lived enough yet! 'Persuad to the chief clerk'? How do you persuade me? Can we talk nonsense about the incident twenty years ago? If it comes to the Tian family in Yuyang, you will be dead?" The words scared the assistant in his forties, and he did not dare to say anything again.

Wang De lifted up his robe, stepped out of the hall, and while putting his shoes at the door, he said to everyone: "I have been in the county government for more than ten years. I have served as the county magistrate and the county magistrate took office. They have always visited the Tian family in Yuyang. I have never seen Tian family in Yuyang come to visit the county magistrate. This time, Tian family in Yuyang sent someone to worship, but the chief clerk refused. When the words were sent back, I don't know how angry and angry the brothers of Tian Peng would be! You guys, be careful, be careful that they would vent their anger on us."

He was in a hurry to report the news to the guests of the third house. After saying that, he bowed slightly and hurried away again.

The power of the Yuyang Tian clan is so great!

If Wang De speculated, when the guest of the Tian family told Tian Peng the county government's reply, after Tian Lan, Tian Lan was furious on the spot, jumped up, pulled out half of the knife on his waist, and shouted: "Old thief Tian Feng, isn't he so shameless? Brother, why don't he order all his troops today, kill Yuyang and rescue Chen Jun!"

Tian Peng was also a little surprised, but he was quite scheming, but he did not reveal his mood. Instead, he laid his hand and signaled his brother to sit down. Looking at the clouds in the sky outside the hall, he pondered for a moment, and said, "Based on the information collected in the past few days, the chief clerk is not a reckless person. When he was in the valley, he helped the orphans and widows and kind to the people. He was very kind to others, and he didn't look like a stingy cruel official. Although my family offended him, it was just a trivial matter and had already returned the golden cake to him. You went there to apologize to him in person. Even if the great revenge was revealed, it should not be so!... Why did he reject my invitation again?"

The Tian family in Yuyang was used to being domineering. Tian Peng thought that he had already lowered his posture and could not understand why Tian Feng refused to give him affection.
