The Shady Growth History of the Young and Scheming County Magistrate

Zhou Tong, who went to the military camp to gild, unintentionally offended a princess of the dynasty. Inexplicably, he became an official and was sent to Yumen Pass. When he first came up, he was directly faced with the dark army of Jin people? When he crawled out from the dead, he never imagined that when he returned to Taocheng with his fiancée who was a death row prisoner, he would be named a county magistrate. Looking at the plaque in front of the Yamen that read "The Mirror Hangs High", he touched the broken knife on his waist that had slashed Jin Bing - Is this official a hot potato? Xu Qiao stroked the prison marks on his face that had not faded, and watched Zhou Tong learning strange breathing techniques from the old servant Lao Wang in the small courtyard of the county government office. He watched the hunchback old servant casually throw out three silver needles and drive them into the blue bricks, the ends of which were still buzzing and trembling. What's even weirder is that Xiao Tao, who always follows them, can climb a three-foot-high locust tree with bare hands. Treating the plague, building terraced fields, and evacuating food from uninhabited mansions, Zhou Tong led a group of "uneasy" men to make Taocheng full of enthusiasm. But the howling of wolves at the top of the city late at night, the secret palace medicine in Grandma Chen's medicine box, and Lao Wang's skills all reminded him that this journey to "return to seclusion" was never a leisurely journey. When the hoofbeats of the remnants of the Jin people crushed the last piece of spring peach, Zhou Tong held Xu Qiao's hand and stood on the newly built city wall. Watching Lao Wang and his three fat disciples arranging a strange sword formation in the shadows, he finally understood - from the time he picked up the secret letter with the Xuanyin mark at Yumen Pass, this big chess game with Peach City as the chessboard had already begun. Is this county magistrate a pawn of the imperial court, or a secret pawn of some mysterious force? What kind of rivers and lakes do the weapons hidden in the woodshed and the secret passages in the cellar lead to?
