The County Magistrate was taken aback and hadn't expected the Kaifeng Prefecture official to think this way. He quickly explained, "It's not like that, sir. What sort of person do you take me for? If others heard this, they might even think I'm neglecting my duties."
"It's just that our people are too proactive. I was just about to build an irrigation canal for them, and I had all the people ready, but before I could take any action, they had already started building it."
The Kaifeng Prefecture official gave him a teasing look, "Oh, is that so?"
Sweat was about to break out on the forehead of the County Government Office official. He restrained himself from wiping it away, knowing that if the Prefecture official saw it, he would definitely think he was feeling guilty.
