Volume 1, Chapter 50: Meeting a colleague in Jinzhou City, your name doesn’t work.
quack quack
Three days later.
In front of Jinzhou City Government Office.
Six figures were leading an old cow, just standing there in a daze.
The six people looked a little embarrassed, and their stomachs made gurgling sounds from time to time.
Ye Tingmu touched his chin.
"Are you sure it will work if I mention your name?"
Dongfang Qingzhu nodded solemnly.
"It shouldn't be a big problem, let's wait a little longer."
There was some hesitation in Ye Tingmu's eyes. He was really afraid of the government and could be said to have no trust in it at all.
"What if they don't know you? That's not safe. It's better to pawn the jade pendant. It's safer."
Dongfang Qingzhu said angrily: "You dare, I won't allow it."
Beside the two of them, four people stared at each other with helplessness in their eyes.
Qingfeng curled his lips.
"Brother, we have been standing here for half an hour. When will the meal be served?"
"Yeah, I'm starving."
"Moo~"
Qingfeng slapped Dahei on the forehead.
"Why are you yelling? You're just a grass eater, you're not hungry."
The big black bull glanced at him, his eyes full of disdain.
Because Ye Tingmu accidentally lost his only silver in the battle of Shuiyunling, and the dry food and luggage he brought with him were also lost by Fenghe.
Of course, there is also his demon-slaying card.
Therefore, the group had been eating wild vegetables for three days. When they passed by Jincheng, Ye Tingmu proposed to pawn the jade pendant that Dongfang Qingzhu had left with him to get some money for the journey.
Dongfang Qingzhu refused to agree, saying that this was left to her by her mother. If Ye Tingmu dared to take it, she would die in front of him and forget about the ten thousand taels.
Ye Tingmu expressed helplessness about this, although she knew that Dongfang Qingzhu might not dare to die.
But if it fails, it doesn’t seem so good.
But we can't continue to eat wild vegetables.
Look how hungry Qingfeng is. He is even competing with Dahei for food.
So Dongfang Qingzhu suggested going to Jinzhou City.
He gave his name.
The eldest daughter of the Dongfang family, Dongfang Qingzhu.
But half an hour has passed and there is still no movement.
Jinzhou City is not one of the twelve cities of Beimang. It can only be regarded as a small city. If it were on Blue Star, it would be a small county at best.
Shangyun City is one of the twelve cities of Beimang.
There aren't many people here, and the government office in front of us looks a bit shabby. The only two guards on duty look to be almost fifty years old.
Dongfang Qingzhu saw no movement for a long time, bit her red lips and asked, "Uncle, can you help me go in and ask, are we really in a hurry?"
The clerk glanced at her and replied in a pure dialect.
"The little girl is pretty, but her eyesight is not very good. Poor thing."
Dongfang Qingzhu got angry when he heard him say this.
"How can you talk like that? Whose eyesight is not good?"
The officer glanced at her again.
"Your eyesight is fine, but you call me uncle? I'm only 43, and you call me uncle. You're either insulting me or you have a problem with your eyesight."
Dongfang Qingzhu was stunned, then looked at the few people.
"What does he mean?"
Ye Tingmu was also speechless.
"It's nothing. He said you have no vision."
"Hmph..." Dongfang Qingzhu stamped his feet secretly, "I'll let your county magistrate deal with you later."
The sun was scorching, and several people felt drowsy.
At this time, I was really hungry and tired.
No need to think about it, several people must have been stood up.
The news about these people had just reached the ears of the county magistrate.
"Sir, you were taking a nap just now, so I didn't wake you up. A few people came to the door, and one of them said she was the eldest daughter of the Dongfang family. What do you think?"
"Oh....the eldest daughter of the Dongfang family, how could she come to our Jinzhou? Isn't this nonsense? Catch her." An old voice sounded.
"Sir, this is not appropriate. What if..."
"What if? The Dongfang family only has one young lady who has lived in Beimang City all year round. How could she come to our remote place? Besides, didn't you hear that the Third Prince arrived in Beimang City a few days ago just for Miss Dongfang? How could Miss Dongfang come here at this time? You have a pig brain."
"You are wise and well-informed, otherwise how can you be called an adult?"
"Hahaha... doesn't this involve some connections up there? There's nothing I can do. Go and arrest them. I'm going to the Northern Bandits to attend a conference in a few days. I'll report this to my superiors then, and that will be another great achievement."
"That's great... it's really great. I'll do it right away."
"Go ahead."
After the lawyer left.
The county magistrate also walked out from behind the curtain.
He was wearing a red county magistrate's robe, a five-colored hat on his head, had a white beard, and a thin face. He looked like an old man in his seventies.
If this happened now, he would have retired long ago.
He stroked his beard, a smile on his face. "Ah... this world is in chaos, with all sorts of people popping up. Why did you have to pretend to be Miss Dongfang when you could just pretend to be someone else?"
He was already accustomed to such things.
Jinzhou is a desolate place with many beggars. Every now and then, someone would show up here and there to ask for free food and drinks.
Either she is the son of the Supreme Court Justice or the daughter of a doctor.
He was just a small county magistrate, so no one dared to offend him. No matter whether the money was true or false, he would give him some money and send him off.
If it's true, then I'll be doing you a favor.
If you don’t have it, it doesn’t matter, it’s just a few taels of silver.
Anyway, the money should be used for the people and then taken back from the people.
However, the few people today dared to impersonate Dongfang Qingzhu, which really walked into trouble.
I did receive some news.
This is no wonder. The two officers outside the door were used to this and their attitude was extremely arrogant.
Outside the government office, a silly boy was walking towards the gate.
When he reached the door and saw Dongfang Qingzhu and others, he hurried over.
The man was wearing a white dragon robe, white shoes, a white headband, and his hair was combed meticulously, as if it had been waxed.
The only thing is that he is too dark, as dark as charcoal, and it doesn't match this outfit at all.
"Oh, master, this is the first time I've seen someone with a child. Which adult's name did you use?"
The six of them were bewildered and looked at the boy in front of them.
Ye Tingmu was even more confused.
"What colleagues?"
The young man slapped him on the shoulder.
"Look at you, and you're still keeping it a secret. We're all family." He winked at a few people as he said this.
Then he walked towards the gate of the government office, talking as he walked.
"Watch me show, today I'm going to do something big."
"Uh..." Ye Tingmu was speechless and looked at Dongfang Qingzhu.
"Your friend?"
Dongfang Qingzhu said in bewilderment, "I don't know him."
"Tsk, that's funny."
The young man arrived in front of the government office under the gaze of several people.
With his hands behind his back, he had a defiant expression.
He said, "Ahem, go and inform your county magistrate that the Third Prince of Jiuzhou was passing through Jinzhou and accidentally got into trouble. He is a little short of money and needs 500 taels of silver. When this prince returns to Daobei Mang, he will definitely reward you handsomely."
