Thinking of the water problem, Qu Yutang frowned and turned to look at the chief official.
"Have you ever asked why Qianhuang City is not short of water? When did it rain?"
He looked carefully at the backyard of the inn and the inside of the street, and there was no sense of dampness from the rain.
The ground in the backyard was cracked from the sun, but strangely enough, there was water in the well at the post station.
This strange phenomenon made him doubt himself.
The chief officer curled his lips, reluctant to speak.
He suspected that the postman had deceived him.
"The postman said... it was King Qianhuang who gave Qianhuang City."
"King Qianhuang!!!?" Qu Yutang widened his eyes in shock.
It was shocking enough that the name of Fire Extinguishing City was changed to Qianhuang City, but how come there was also a Qianhuang King?
Proclaim yourself king?
Deng Yushan is really very bold.
He didn't believe that old man Deng Yushan could produce the reward water.
If he is really that powerful, then why did he submit a petition to the capital to request support?
There must be something fishy going on here.
"Yes!" The chief official nodded. "That's what the postman said."
"He said that Qianhuang City can be as prosperous as it is today because King Qianhuang moved into Qianhuang City."
"What are you talking about? Anyone who disrespects King Qianhuang will become the enemy of the entire city."
He felt uncomfortable when he thought of the threatening look the postman gave him when he said this.
These words seemed to be spoken to them, as a warning to them not to have any bad thoughts.
Qu Yutang's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly asked, "Do you know who King Qianhuang is?"
"Is it General Zhong or Deng Yushan?"
There will be no one else except these two.
These two people have their own power in Fire Extinguishing City, and they check and balance each other.
Qianhuang City is so harmonious now, it must be the result of these two people joining forces.
One person compromised and was willing to be inferior to the other.
Qu Yutang frowned tightly.
There were rumors in the capital that the two had always been at odds, so Emperor Tianwu had them stationed at the border.
It seems they fooled everyone.
The chief official shook his head. "The postman didn't say anything, he just said we can't address the prince by his name."
He wanted to ask more, but the postman ignored him and even giving him silver was of no use.
The main reason was that the postman's contemptuous attitude towards him also irritated him a little.
He held his breath and tried to get information from the postman, and several times he almost couldn't help but beat the postman.
When has he ever been treated like this? It's such a sin.
A small postman actually rode on his head and shit on him, and threatened and belittled him in words and deeds. It was simply terrible.
Qu Yutang frowned even more tightly, "Go and ask the postman again, and be more humble."
Seeing the aggrieved look on the head of the official, Qu Yutang patted his shoulder.
"I will definitely remember this as a great achievement for you."
"...Yes." The chief officer couldn't resist the temptation of "great merit" and agreed immediately, "I will definitely find out the truth about this matter..."
"Gurgle~"
At this solemn moment, the chief officer's stomach began to growl.
He pursed his lips in an awkward gesture of loyalty and glanced at the food on the table.
The postman was dissatisfied with the dirty state of the post station and had cleared out the kitchen, leaving even coarse grain buns uneaten.
If the well was not in the backyard and could not be moved, the postman could have taken it away.
The postman looked at them with disdain, which he showed without any concealment.
When the postman left in the morning, he kept telling them to drink less water because the drought was severe and there was a great shortage of water, so they should not waste it.
It's really shameful that the water level in the well is almost reaching the wellhead, but he can't find where Qianhuang City is short of water.
The corners of Qu Yutang's mouth twitched twice.
"Take half and divide it among them."
There are only 16 steamed buns left. After taking half of them, there are still 8 left.
He was very hungry and had to eat more to help his body recover faster and his mind clearer so that he could better analyze the current situation.
He was so hungry that his eyes were dizzy. How could he think about anything?
".....Yes." The chief officer's eyes twitched twice.
More than 40 people, divided into 8 steamed buns...
If he hadn't been looking forward to the steamed buns in the evening, he really wouldn't have been able to endure it.
It would be better to just go and work with the fat supervisor. It may be a little tiring, but at least you will have enough food and drink.
The chief officer counted 8 steamed buns and held them in his arms. He glanced at the remaining 8 steamed buns on the table and swallowed.
Can an adult eat so many steamed buns by himself?
Hey~~
Or maybe everyone wants to be a high-ranking official.
This person is the boss of everyone and can control the life and death of his subordinates at will.
If you eat so many steamed buns, you will die of fullness.
But so what? He won’t be worried as long as he has food in his hands. The adults just need so many steamed buns, and there’s nothing he can do about it.
Qu Yutang saw the reluctant look of the officer leader and frowned slightly.
"This one is for you alone. Do your job well and you will have a bright future."
Qu Yutang grabbed a steamed bun and solemnly stuffed it into the hands of the chief officer.
Looking at the extra steamed bun in his hand, the officer's eyes lit up.
"Thank you for your help, sir. I will do my best to serve you. Don't worry..."
After expressing his loyalty, the chief official happily left Qu Yutang's room.
The moment the door closed, he immediately opened his mouth and took a bite of the steamed bun.
In just a few bites, he finished the steamed bun that Qu Yutang had given him.
