Tang Huan transmigrates to a desolate land as a minor county magistrate, so poor that even the county office leaks wind. After enduring hardships, he finally resolves to change his fate. Through fi...
Choi Won-jo was furious upon learning of what had happened.
He didn't care why his father, the prime minister, was at odds with Tang Huan, but he had already become sworn brothers with Tang Huan, so this kind of thing shouldn't have happened.
This probing and disrespect made Cui Yuanzhao uncomfortable.
In addition, he didn't have a good impression of those people, so naturally he wasn't in a good mood.
Where are they?
Cui Yuanzhao pressed for an answer.
Zhang Da shook his head helplessly, "I don't know. As you know, although I'm nominally in charge of those people, they don't listen to me at all. They were gone when I woke up this morning."
After waking up in the makeshift tent, Zhang Da discovered that everyone had disappeared.
After searching the vicinity for a while without success, it can only be concluded that those people have most likely entered Qihuai County.
Cui Yuanzhao nodded with a stern face, "They had better not cause trouble in Qihuai County, otherwise, not only Old Tang, but I won't let them off the hook!"
Wu Lanshan noticed their conversation and expressions and asked, "Are you alright?"
Cui Yuanzhao, his previous serious demeanor gone, smiled and said, "It's nothing, just some unexpected things that happened, it won't affect anything."
He greeted Wu Lanshan and said, "I'll show you around Qihuai County. To be honest, I haven't explored all of it yet. There are surprises everywhere."
The group eventually left the government office. A large crowd had gathered there moments before, but they vanished in the blink of an eye.
Inside the government office not far away, Tang Huan leaned back in his armchair, lazily sipping a hangover tea.
Gongyang Tingbai and Qin Yuyang sat at a distance, talking in hushed tones, glancing in Tang Huan's direction from time to time.
Xue'e ignored him and silently handed Tang Huan a peeled apple.
"Sir, should we send someone to follow them?"
"Why follow them?" Tang Huan asked, looking at Li Daikui, who had a serious expression.
Li Daikui explained, "These people are used to being wild in the capital. Who knows what trouble they'll cause in Qihuai County? Having someone follow them will at least reduce some of the trouble."
"They're just a few spoiled young masters. What can we do if they cause trouble? Our Qihuai County isn't some other place. They can't cause any trouble here."
After saying that, Tang Huan suddenly thought of something and said with a smile, "But you have reminded me that it is indeed necessary to follow them. I'll leave this to you."
"Me?" Li Daikui was somewhat surprised.
"Yes, didn't you already teach Cui Yuanzhao and Wang Jingze a lesson before? Don't you want to teach other high-ranking officials' children a lesson too?"
Li Daikui couldn't help but laugh, "Of course I wanted to. If it weren't for Qihuai County, I probably wouldn't have had this kind of opportunity in my entire life."
Tang Huan tilted her head. "Then let's go. I bet there will be some people who can't resist harassing the girls from Qihuai County. Let's punish them according to the previous rules and leave them with a deep impression."
"In addition, others can also be taught a lesson as appropriate. As for the punishment, you can decide that, just don't go too far."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Li Daikui was very satisfied with the job and left the mansion immediately.
He went to find the painter first, and took him around the city, while also inquiring about where the young masters had gone.
People come and go in Qihuai County, but the arrival of just a few people from the capital is not enough to attract much attention.
However, the fact that so many spoiled young men were together this time did attract a lot of attention.
Therefore, finding these people is not difficult.
What made Li Daikui happiest was that as soon as he arrived, he saw three or four men walking with two girls.
The men were all dressed in fine silks and satins, which looked like expensively made garments.
As for the two girls' composed demeanor, it was immediately obvious that they were locals from Qihuai County.
“Sir, they haven’t done anything wrong. Was it really necessary for you to bring me here?” the painter asked.
Except for a period at the beginning when some people didn't know the rules and would harass the girls, the painter would often go out to work, but in the past year he has actually done very little of that.
The last time it was Cui Yuanzhao and Wang Jingze.
Watching the wealthy young men from the capital chatting with the girls, he knew that he probably wouldn't need to do anything today.
Suddenly, the painter saw one of the men quietly put his hand on a girl's shoulder.
Just as this action occurred, and the painter was about to speak, he felt a figure flash beside him.
Turning around, I saw that Li Daikui had already run out.
The people in front were startled by Li Daikui's sudden appearance.
Li Daikui chuckled as he looked at the group of wealthy young men from the capital, "Gentlemen, you don't quite understand the rules of Qihuai County..."
One of them said in a deep voice, "We didn't do anything..."
Before he could finish speaking, Li Daikui slapped the hand of the man who had just tampered with the object. "Didn't do anything? Then who was trying to take advantage of you just now?"
Li Daikui shouted, "Men, strip him naked!"
Cui Yuanzhao, who was originally taking Wu Lanshan for a leisurely stroll, became somewhat distracted after trying several types of chess in the chess and card room.
He estimated that it was about time, so he led Wu Lanshan and the other two away, intending to look for their companions in Qihuai County.
They hadn't gone far when they saw their two companions running towards them, covered in dust and dirt, followed by two women in their thirties.
The two men were so frightened that they immediately hid behind Cui Yuanzhao and shouted, "Help me!"
Seeing this, Cui Yuanzhao couldn't help but laugh. "What's wrong with you two? You've been tricked like this by two women, like mice seeing a cat."
"We were just chatting there, and we don't know how we offended them. They chased us down and beat us up. What should we do?"
"Have you made your move yet?" Cui Yuanzhao asked curiously.
One of them said somewhat embarrassedly, "Actually, we didn't plan to fight, but they were just too much, so we couldn't help ourselves..."
Seeing this, Wu Lanshan asked curiously, "Since you couldn't help but take action, why are you still being chased?"
The other person said helplessly, "We can't beat them..."
Later, thanks to Cui Yuanzhao's two silver notes, the two women left happily.
The two wealthy young men from the capital, no match for the woman, followed Cui Yuanzhao with disheveled faces, their heads bowed the entire time.
But gradually, their mood improved.
Compared to the others who were scattered throughout Qihuai County looking for fun, the two of them were considered good.
Someone was chased by two stray dogs for walking arrogantly down the street, and his clothes were tattered and torn.
Two people saw a lavishly decorated and impressive place, only to find out upon entering that it was a centralized sewage treatment facility in Qihuai County. They accidentally knocked over a chamber pot, making a very embarrassing situation.
The most serious incident involved several people captured by Li Daikui, who were stripped naked in public and had their portraits taken, attracting a large crowd of onlookers.
In short, each of them had their own unspeakable dark history.
