Chapter 374: Did Chu Wei change his career?
When Feng Er saw it, he was so shocked that he couldn't recover for a long time.
Did Chu Wei change his career?
Why don't you want to be a county magistrate and do hard labor in a quarry?
Hearing the sound, Shen Wan and others also came out.
After seeing the miserable state of Chu Wei and the driver, Shen Wan and Xie Mubai smiled at each other.
It seems that the plan was implemented quite smoothly.
Yes, she did everything.
Taking advantage of darkness, she asked Black Hawk to pour a lot of cold water on the road leading from the county government office to the post station.
It is so cold today that water turns into ice.
Chu Wei's horse slipped and the carriage overturned.
As a result, Chu Wei and the official became what they are now.
"What's wrong with you?" Shen Wan asked deliberately, trying to suppress her smile.
Chu Wei opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know where to start.
"It was cold and the roads were slippery, so the carriage flipped over when we were near the post station." The official didn't take it seriously and said honestly, "We wanted to go back to the county office, but your Excellency injured his arm, and we didn't want to waste time going back and forth, so we came to the princess first."
After hearing this, Shen Wan invited the two of them into the inn.
She briefly examined Chu Wei and then frowned.
"Princess, how is it?" Seeing her frown, Chu Wei's heart immediately rose to his throat.
It is true that Lanyang City is located in a remote area, but the news is not that isolated.
He had heard that this woman had extraordinary medical skills and even the old Miao King was no match for her.
The old tutor adopted her as his daughter simply because of her medical skills.
Shen Wan didn't intend to hide it and told the truth: "My wrist bone is broken."
"I'm afraid that Your Excellency won't be able to pick up a pen to handle official documents in the short term."
Upon hearing this, Chu Wei's face turned pale.
If I can't even handle official documents, what kind of county magistrate am I!
"Fortunately, it was only the wrist that was broken. If the lumbar spine had been affected, he would probably have been paralyzed." Looking at his pale face, Shen Wan deliberately said, "But Mr. Chu, you must be more careful in the future whether you are riding in a car or walking. After all, this road is too slippery."
After hearing this, the official also echoed.
"That's right!" he said angrily, not knowing it was a trick. "The ice on the road is so thick, it would be strange if I didn't fall."
Hu Dahai was also unaware of this matter.
He thought for a moment and asked in surprise, "Since you knew the road was so bad, why didn't you clean it?"
When I was in the capital, there were special people responsible for cleaning the streets every day.
Obviously, Lanyang City did not arrange anyone.
"It's really because of poverty." Chu Wei shook his head. "In recent years, too many people in Lanyang have moved out. It's difficult to hire people to clean the streets."
Shen Wan's eyes turned and she smiled: "Even if it is difficult, it must be solved."
"It was you, Master Chu, who was thrown down today. What if someone from above comes down to inspect one day and throws them down too?"
"In my opinion, even if we are poor, this matter must be resolved."
After hearing this, Chu Wei couldn't help but look up at her.
"What good ideas does the princess have?" he asked doubtfully.
Is this woman going to pay out of her own pocket again?
If that were true, he would be the first to agree with it.
Shen Wan smiled and said, “This is not difficult.”
"Aren't there prisoners in the jail? Just let them come out and work."
Upon hearing this, Wang Qi seemed to understand something.
"Young Madam is really smart." He thought for a moment and said deliberately, "Those prisoners are extremely vicious and have lost all conscience."
"They've done so many bad things. There's no reason to let them just lie there in the county jail and eat and drink for free."
"In that case, we might as well release them and do hard labor."
When Chu Wei heard this, he immediately shook his head.
"That's absolutely impossible." He refused without even thinking. "Most of those prisoners are convicted of serious crimes. If they were released, it would definitely affect the safety of other civilians."
It’s not that he loves the people like his own children, but if the matter gets out of hand, he will definitely lose his position as county magistrate.
Besides, he has an important task to do. He has to help the Third Prince keep an eye on these fugitives here.
In front of the position of county magistrate, what does it matter if a few people are killed?
At worst, he just won’t go out when it snows.
But if I don’t go out, how can I find a doctor?
Even though the doctor fell to his death, no one changed the medicine for him.
Shen Wan smiled deliberately and said, “This won’t work, and that won’t work either. So what should we do according to Master Chu’s wishes?”
After hearing this, Chu Wei couldn't help but feel troubled.
"Sir, why not just transfer those convicts from the quarry over here to clear the snow?" The officer's eyes lit up and he immediately suggested, "Those guys can't do much over there anyway, so why not give them the job of clearing the snow?"
After hearing this, Chu Wei began to think secretly in his mind.
Although Lanyang County is large, fifty or sixty convicts are more than enough to clear the snow.
Moreover, they have little killing power and dare not escape on their own.
If they run away, what will happen to their wives and sons in the camp?
Thinking of this, Chu Wei nodded: "This is a good idea."
"Pass my order down. Gather all the convicts who just went to the quarry. From today on, they will be responsible for the sanitation of the county streets."
"If you don't do it right, send it back to the quarry!"
After hearing this, Feng Er subconsciously glanced at Shen Wan.
It's true that he's not smart, but he's not stupid either.
He would never believe it even if he was beaten to death. All of this had nothing to do with this woman.
But he didn't intend to expose it.
Feng Er has always been cold-blooded and heartless.
He had no feelings for his brothers, let alone Chu Wei.
Even though they all served under the Third Prince, he would not deliberately give any advice.
I have to say that Chu Wei is very efficient in doing things.
In less than an hour, he ordered his men to bring all the prisoners over.
Since there were a lot of empty shops on the street, Chu Wei just arranged one for them to live in.
Although the work of clearing snow is hard, it is still a hundred times better than working in the quarry outside the city.
The convicts cherished this hard-earned opportunity very much and worked extra hard to sweep the snow.
Shen Wan and Xie Mubai stood in front of the window, watching them sweeping the snow quietly.
Having suffered so much along the way, it was not too difficult for these convicts to clean the streets.
Soon, the street in front of the post station was cleaned.
Only then did Shen Wan realize that there were actually bluestone roads in Lanyang City!
"Well done." Suddenly, Wang Qi's voice came from behind.
Shen Wan looked back and smiled: "Thank you for the compliment."
After hearing this, Wang Qi frowned.
He ignored her and looked at Xie Mubai coldly: "You know about this too?"
Xie Mubai had no intention of hiding it and nodded slightly.
"That's really ridiculous!" Wang Qi was annoyed after hearing this. "Chu Wei is not a fool. What if he finds out that you guys did it? What do you think he will do?"
