Hu Mincai's people were very dissatisfied.
The man couldn't help but say, "No matter what, we are all going to the Northern Frontier to be officials together. What you are doing is excluding dissidents."
Shi Qingluo curled his lips, "This statement is more appropriate when applied to your elders."
"It's because they want to eliminate dissidents that they deliberately sent us to the Northern Frontier. We haven't settled the score with you yet, but you're the first to make a fuss about it."
Xi Rui and Liang Youxiao are the most angry when this is mentioned.
"That's right. If it weren't for the scheming and instigation of your elders, how could we have traveled so hard and suffered even more in the northern border."
"I already don't like you guys, how dare you ask for food?"
"It's good that I didn't beat you up. You're so shameless."
"If you keep on whining, I'll punch you."
After being led by Shi Qingluo's words, Xi Rui and the others started cursing again.
Hu Mincai's people didn't dare to confront him anymore. Instead, they were frustrated and stopped talking.
I felt not only depressed but also aggrieved.
I couldn't help but feel resentful towards the elders in my family.
If you want to plot against Xiao Hanzheng and his men, then just plot against Xiao Hanzheng and his men. Why do you have to involve them as well?
The journey during the past half month was the most arduous they had ever experienced.
When they thought about the journey that would take nearly half a month, they felt hopeless.
However, these people also quieted down because they were afraid that Shi Qingluo and Xi Rui would pick trouble with them and vent their elders' resentment on them.
Then they continued on their journey, and Hu Mincai's men watched Shi Qingluo and the others show off their food.
There are all kinds of cold noodles, iced milk tea, cold bowls, iced papaya rice, cold shrimps, etc., and they are made in different ways every day.
Commander Wei and others can benefit from it, but they can only watch with envy.
They often saw Shi Qingluo and the others playing cards or mahjong when they were bored, and they could only watch without bringing anything...
It also makes their subsequent journey more painful. Not only do they have to endure the physical strain of long-distance bumps and boredom, but they also have to look at the food every day but cannot eat it.
Especially when they saw the place becoming more and more desolate and barren, they wanted to cry even more.
They also feel more resentful towards the elders who brought them here.
Along the way, Hu Mincai and a few others tried to do evil twice, but they failed both times and were instead beaten up by Shi Qingluo.
After that, they were all scared when they saw Shi Qingluo.
After a month of travel, we finally entered the northern border.
Then everyone separated and went to their respective places.
Commander Wei's men were also divided into several escort groups.
However, everyone wanted to escort Xiao Hanzheng's team. They provided food and entertainment, and were quite respectful to them.
Unlike those other young masters, he was arrogant and looked down on them, which was particularly annoying.
In the end, Commander Wei had no choice but to let people draw lots to decide who would escort Xiao Hanzheng and his team to Heyang County.
When Hu Mincai's men saw this, they all felt uncomfortable, but they didn't dare to say anything. They were scared of being beaten up along the way.
At the same time, I am also glad that we are finally going to separate.
Qi Yiyang reluctantly parted with a few people and went to Lin County.
Shi Qingluo and his group went to Heyang County, where all they saw along the way was desolation and poverty.
After a few more days of travel, we finally arrived in Heyang County.
When the people saw a group of people entering the county town, they couldn't help but run over to watch.
"Is this the new county magistrate?"
"Of course it is. Don't you see so many soldiers following you?"
"Hey, I don't know what the county magistrate sent this time will be like."
When the others heard this, they were no longer so excited about the arrival of the new county magistrate.
Everyone's life is hard to begin with, so they would be thankful if they could just hope that this time's county magistrate is not as greedy as the previous one.
Soon, the group arrived at the county government office.
People from the county government came out to meet him.
Xiao Dalang is now the county magistrate and has already established a firm foothold here.
He was particularly unhappy at the moment. He had originally reported the previous county magistrate for corruption and had him sent to jail.
He thought he could get the job himself, but who knew that the court would send a new county magistrate.
Hearing that he was a Jinshi from the capital, he thought that he might be a child of a noble family.
Such people are easiest to fool and deal with.
If that doesn't work, just get rid of the person and let him be the county magistrate.
That was why he was standing there with a proud look on his face, and many people in the yamen followed him and stood with him, obviously wanting to show their power to the newly arrived county magistrate.
Since Xiao Dalang was well connected in the county government, Shi Laosan, who was a more astute person, also followed him and served as his advisor.
Xiao Lao Da, Xiao Lao Er, and Xiao Erlang were also arranged to work in the county government.
The higher-ups only notified that a new county magistrate would be coming from the capital to take over, but did not say who would come, so the people in the Xiao family had no idea that the person who would be the county magistrate was an acquaintance.
Each of them was thinking about how to sideline the new county magistrate so that they could hold on to power in secret.
Then a handsome man got off the carriage.
Xiao Dalang and the others stared with their eyes wide open. Were their eyes blurry? Why did they seem to see Xiao Hanzheng?
But please don’t do that, they must be seeing things.
When the man reached out and helped the woman out of the carriage, all the hope in their hearts was shattered.
If this isn't Shi Qingluo then who is...
How could the new county magistrate be Xiao Hanzheng? Xiao Dalang was in a bad mood at this moment.
He has always been afraid of this cousin, especially now that his illness has not been cured yet, so he has to beg Xiao Hanzheng to continue helping to cure it.
He was also afraid of Shi Qingluo, his sister-in-law who had evil intentions.
Why was he so unlucky? He had finally gotten rid of the previous county magistrate, and was even thinking of giving the new county magistrate a warning so that he would have the final say in the future.
Who would have thought that it was Xiao Hanzheng and his wife who came...
So Xiao Dalang's originally arrogant expression changed instantly, "Han Zheng, why is it you?"
Xiao Hanzheng looked at Xiao Dalang with a half-smile, "Why can't it be me?"
Shi Qingluo looked at Xiao Dalang with a bright smile on his face, "Why, you don't welcome us?"
Xiao Dalang: “…” Could these two people please stop laughing like that? It makes him feel creepy.
He groaned inwardly, but forced a smile on his face, "Welcome, of course you are welcome."
"But I didn't expect Han Zheng to be the newly transferred county magistrate. I, I am so happy."
He just wanted to cry...
The other people on the side who were originally going to follow the county government to show off their power were a little confused.
What was going on? Did the county magistrate know the new county magistrate? And he was so happy that he was incoherent.
If Xiao Dalang knew what they were thinking, he would definitely scold them. What a nonsense! He was forced to do that, okay? He was afraid that if he showed that he was not welcome, he would be secretly punished by these two people with bad intentions.
It's not easy for him.
When the other members of the Xiao family saw Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo appear, they were all shocked and felt terrible...
It's a good time to change to a new map. I will continue at 17:00~ (End of this chapter)
