Yanggu County's Tiger Disaster!

Yang Yi had been busy for the first few days and was now beginning to relax.

With so many helpers under him, it was impossible for him to do everything himself.

After making a cup of tea, Yang Yi was reading the county annals of Yanggu County over the years when Xing Tong suddenly ran into the county office in a hurry.

"Magistrate, the commoners outside have something important to report!”

Xing Tong hurriedly ran into the county office and reported to Yang Yi respectfully.

Beads of sweat could be seen on his face. It seemed that the matter was more urgent.

"A commoner has reported something? Xing Du, don't panic. Call them in. I'll ask them first.”

Yang Yi raised his head and looked at Xing Tong.

Xing Tong's unwavering attitude made him feel much more at ease. He hurriedly ran out to call a few commoners in.

Since it was not a trial, there was no large group of bailiffs shouting at the sides. There were only two capable bailiffs standing on Yang Yi's left and right. They were in charge of listening to orders and protecting the county magistrate.

"Sir, you have to help us!”

Closing the county annals, a few commoners wearing sackcloth had already come to the main hall.

As soon as these people arrived, they bowed and cried to Yang Yi. They looked very sad, as if there was an important secret.

Sensing this situation, Yang Yi immediately took it seriously.

"Villagers, don't panic. If you have any grievances, just tell me. This official will definitely seek justice for you!”

Yang Yi thought that these people had been wronged and immediately replied loudly when he saw them crying.

He hoped that they would explain the situation in detail and be less sad.

"Magistrate, this is not a man-made disaster. It's a big worm that appeared on Jingyang Ridge and injured our children!”

A few old farmers in sackcloth were very loyal to the new master.

He immediately told her what had happened.

When Yang Yi heard the words Jingyang Gang, he remembered the incident where Wu Song beat up the tiger.

The big worm mentioned by the old farmers should be the tiger on Jingyang Ridge. He still remembered the legend of the Three Bowls Pass.

"Big insect? Don't be anxious. Tell me the details.”

When Yang Yi heard that it was the tiger that was causing trouble, he felt relieved.

It was good that no one died. No matter how fierce a tiger was, it was still a beast. As long as he made proper arrangements and plans, it wouldn't be too difficult to get rid of this tiger.

"Yes, sir!"

The old farmers saw that although Yang Yi was young, he took things more seriously.

With hope in his heart, he immediately explained the matter in detail.

Yang Yi finally understood what was going on after hearing the story.

It turned out that several old farmers belonged to the same village, and their sons went up the mountain to hunt together.

On the mountain near Jingyang Gang, he unfortunately met a multicolored tiger.

In the fierce battle, they finally escaped from the tiger's claws, and several hunters were injured.

Thinking about how they would not dare to go hunting in the mountains in the future, they would lose a lot of income and would have to spend money to treat their injuries, these old farmers felt very sad.

"I see! This county already knows about this matter and will immediately summon people to eliminate the tiger problem. You guys go back first! If you have any difficulties, let the local magistrate come to the county government.”

After understanding the situation, Yang Yi comforted them and sent the old farmers away.

He told them to tell the local security guard if they were in trouble and let the local security guard bring them to the county government to apply for help.

This was a necessary procedure. As the county magistrate, he would not break the rules.

A moment later, the old farmers left.

"Zhang An, go and find Official Liu. I have some questions for you.”

Sitting back in his chair, Yang Yi immediately asked Zhang An to call for help.

According to the division of labor in the county government, the security of Yanggu County was handled by Liu Fulai, the chief registrar.

Now that there was a tiger problem but he did not report it, Yang Yi planned to ask clearly what this guy was usually busy with.

"Yes, sir!"

Not long after receiving the order, Zhang An quickly brought Liu Fulai to the lobby.

He was very attentive to Yang Yi's instructions.

"I, Liu Fu, am here to pay my respects to the county magistrate!”

Liu Fulai was just like his name. He was a fatty in his fifties.

His dressing was a little rustic, like a fat official. Those who didn't know better would think that he was a local tyrant and evil gentry, the kind that would eat people without spitting out their bones.

Seeing Liu Fulai's respectful look, Yang Yi's expression became serious.

"There's no need to be so polite. Have you heard about the tiger plague at Jingyang Ridge?”

After Liu Fulai sat on a chair against the wall in the lobby, Yang Yi stood up and walked out of his seat.

His attitude was quite serious and he attached great importance to this matter.

"Milord, I just heard.”

Liu Fulai saw that Yang Yi's expression did not look too good, so he hurriedly stood up and replied.

He did not dare to sit on the chair, afraid that Yang Yi would find trouble with him.

After all, the position of the chief registrar was equivalent to the chief steward of the county government. All the power came from the county magistrate, Yang Yi.

"What are your plans?"

Hearing Liu Fu's reply, Yang Yi stared at his face and asked.

In his impression, Liu Fulai was an old fox. If he didn't keep a close eye on him, he probably wouldn't work hard.

Yang Yi had just arrived, so it was impossible for all his subordinates to submit to him.

After a period of time, he would clean up the county government.

"This…I have no idea at the moment. Please make the decision, Magistrate.”

Hearing Yang Yi's question, Liu Fulai blushed and hoped that Yang Yi would help him make the decision.

A typical question!

Yang Yi was not angry about this.

He didn't look down on Liu Fulai. In his mind, it didn't matter if he was weak, as long as he worked hard.

"How about this, first put up a notice with the official seal in the city and the surrounding villages of Jingyang Ridge. He told the commoners not to go up the mountain to hunt and cut firewood for the time being and to pay more attention to the movements of the tigers.”

"Second, immediately organize experienced hunters and kill this tiger that injured people as safely as possible.”

Realizing that Liu Fulai was indeed irresponsible, Yang Yi immediately gave the order.

In his opinion, he first had to ensure that no one died. Then, he would slowly plan and finally kill this tiger.

Otherwise, it would cause panic in the surrounding villages and affect agricultural production.

"Yes, sir! I'll do it immediately."

After receiving Yang Yi's order, Liu Fulai, with his big belly, bowed to Yang Yi in a comical manner and left the hall in a hurry.

He decided to follow the instructions.

He actually had an idea, but he was afraid of taking responsibility, so he let Yang Yi make the decision.

He was the type of person who was afraid of death and did not seek merit but did not seek fault.

The reason why Yang Yizi accepted Zhang An and the other low-level subordinates was because he could tell that his subordinates were unreliable. He decided to nurture some talents himself.

If everyone followed Liu Fulai's example, he would not be able to keep up even if he had the avatar technique.

It was impossible for such a large Yanggu County to rely on him alone.

Not long after Yang Yi's order was given, Yanggu County and the surrounding villages of Jingyang Ridge received notifications from the bailiffs.

He told them not to go up the mountain alone and to be careful.

Especially the elderly and children at home, they had to be taken care of at all times. It was best to stay at home. After the county sent people to kill the tiger, they would go up the mountain to move around.

Such door-to-door reminders moved the surrounding people.

They thought that Yanggu County had finally produced a good official and that good days were coming!
