Magistrate Fang looked at Qi Haoran with an aggrieved expression. Although he had been careful enough, there were still many children and orphans on the list. He couldn't very well ignore them. On the other hand, he didn't have the means to provide for them since there was no money or grains in the government office now.
In the past few days, those 6,000 people had already depleted all of his grains. He was just short of selling everything.
Magistrate Fang glared at Qi Haoran again. If not for the fact that the Qi brothers had emptied the government office when they rushed in, he would not have ended up like this.
The most important thing was that he had not heard back from the aid report he had sent to the Imperial Court. Without any external help, just this year's small amount of taxes was really not enough.
Therefore, Magistrate Fang could only target Mu Yangling.
