Zhao Jun harbored an unknown secret: she was an online friend with His Highness the First Emperor from thousands of years ago. Every time she sent him cheap items like water cups and glass, she cou...
Cheng Jing paid a price he could afford and successfully resolved the matter.
Zhao Jun did not hold on to this matter. She had gained enough from Cheng's family.
Cheng Jing had already gone back, but Lu Jing, who was still in the front hall, was still a little unresponsive.
"Is this matter resolved just like that?"
Does that mean that all the investigations and explanations that Zhao Jun mentioned at the door before are no longer valid?
"Well, what else could I do? Would I really go to great lengths to cause trouble for the Cheng family?"
Zhao Jun glanced at him and said.
"The eldest daughter of the Cheng family is a sensible person. Besides, this incident didn't cause any serious consequences. If everyone takes a step back, it will be mutually beneficial."
"As for the investigation and explanation I mentioned earlier, the people of Shu County don't really care. Only if the Cheng family comes forward to diagnose and treat them, then everyone should know what's going on."
The common people are not fools. They will not go against the government at this time. They can also see that Chengjia is involved in this matter.
"I'm giving them face by not exposing this matter openly."
"Anyway, this matter ends here. In fact, the only thing to blame is someone deliberately trying to trick me."
If you don't deliberately look for trouble, why would you lose money when starting a family?
"What about the road? Although she gave a lot of compensation, she won't ask me to bring people to work for another month, right?"
Xiao He was also shocked by the donation of several hundred gold coins, but even if he didn't have the money, he wouldn't still have to lead people to work, right?
"Forget it then. Our original plan to go to Shunan County tomorrow has been disrupted. If you stay for another month, you will lose time."
"Well, tell those workers who came to Shu County earlier to stay and repair the roads in the prefecture."
She was not so inhumane as to let Xiao He continue to suffer.
"OK."
Xiao He finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After Cheng Jing returned, he had a good chat with his two sisters and punished them by asking them to stay at home and not run around.
After learning his lesson, Cheng Xin finally calmed down and stayed at home obediently these days without causing any trouble.
Xiao He gave instructions to the previous workers, and they had already begun to skillfully carry out the remedial work.
Zhao Jun and his group, who were delayed for two days because of this little episode, set out again for Shunan County.
She didn't forget the important things.
I have to mention the roads in Shu County here. They are much better than those in Ba County.
Although we still have to climb mountains and wade through water along the way, at least we don’t encounter roads that look like cliffs.
Liu Bang was almost moved to tears by this.
Lu Jing walked in front to lead the way. Along the way, he talked a lot about the wildness of Shu County. At the same time, he also listened to Liu Bang's description of Ba County. He couldn't help but feel fortunate.
They traveled for about four days and were finally about to arrive at the largest county town in Shu County.
"Sir, Shunan County is just ahead."
Lu Jing stood at the front and pointed at the stone tablet of Shunan County, on which the words "Shunan County" were clearly engraved in large letters.
But what is also interesting is that in addition to the words, there is also a lifelike rabbit pattern carved on it.
In an instant, it seemed particularly different.
"This rabbit is quite cute. Is it related to the tradition of raising rabbits in Shunan?"
Zhao Jun stared at the stone tablet for a while.
"That's right. Shunan County was the first in Shu County to start a rabbit breeding business. Later, other counties followed suit and everyone benefited. However, to thank the people of Shunan, a rabbit was later painted on this stone tablet."
Lu Jing described the origin of the rabbit pattern like telling a story.
While listening to Lu Jing's introduction, they began to walk towards the county town.
Shunan is worthy of being the largest county town in Shu County. There are many people walking on the streets, and it looks very lively.
Not only that, many people walking in the crowd were carrying rabbits.
Rabbits are very common here.
"Sir, the Shunan County government office is in front of us. The county magistrate here is Yu Zixiang. I had many dealings with him when I was in Shunan County before. He is a reasonable and good official, but his style is..."
Lu Jing paused for a moment.
He led the crowd across the street and arrived at the gate of Shunan County Government Office.
Zhao Jun stood at the door and looked at the county government office with a plaque hanging on it.
I wonder what kind of indescribable style the county magistrate will have this time.
The gatekeeper of the county government office had seen Lu Jing before, so they entered without any difficulty.
After a while, Yu Zixiang, who received the news that the county magistrate had arrived, came running over.
"Your humble servant pays respects to the County Magistrate. I am sorry that the County Magistrate has failed to come and greet you."
Yu Zixiang ran over quickly and bowed without saying a word.
Zhao Jun and the others didn't even see the county magistrate's face before they saw him bowing.
Is he just impatient?
"Ahem, County Magistrate Yu, there's no need to be so polite. I'm actually here mainly to accompany Lord Zhao."
Lu Jing covered his mouth and coughed, then introduced the identities of Zhao Jun and others to him.
A moment later.
"Your humble servant, Yu Zixiang, the Magistrate of Shunan County, greets Lord Zhao. I'm sorry that you haven't come to greet me in person!"
After listening to the introduction, Yu Zixiang knelt down on the ground and bowed deeply, and repeated what he had said before.
Zhao Jun and his companions were startled by him.
This county magistrate looks to be nearly forty years old, but why does he seem to be acting a little rashly?
"There's no need to be so polite, Magistrate Yu. Please get up quickly. We are sorry for disturbing you with our sudden visit."
Zhao Jun replied very politely.
"Your Excellency's visit was somewhat impulsive, but it is my duty to be always ready to welcome your inspection."
Yu Zixiang raised his head and smiled innocently, but what he said was very funny.
Zhao Jun was choked and then looked at Lu Jing silently.
So this county magistrate has this style?
"My lords, please come in quickly. I will have someone clean up your room as soon as possible. There are so many soldiers outside and we need to make arrangements for them."
"I wonder how long you gentlemen can stay in Shunan. I will definitely take you on a good tour later."
"Your Excellency should know that every family in Shunan raises rabbits. If you are interested, I will take you to the mountains to see the rabbits running."
"I'm sure you've had a hard time traveling. This stretch of road through the prefecture is indeed not easy to travel."
"You have worked so hard, my Lord. Now that the rooms have been arranged for you, please take a rest."
"And Lord Lu, if you need anything, please tell me and don't treat yourself as an outsider. I can't neglect you just because Lord Zhao is here."
Only after he finally finished his rambling and was pushed out by Lu Jing with a smile did the backyard become completely quiet.
Zhao Jun, Xiao He, Lu Jing and Liu Bang, who had also been talked about all the way, looked at each other.
Zhao Jun didn't expect that the Shunan County Magistrate's style was not only reckless but also very talkative!
It was the first time she had seen a county magistrate of this style, and she was really worried about the upcoming trip.
