The lively lunch was over and Zheng Zhonghui had left.
It is more convenient to talk now that only these few people are left.
Lu Jing was lost in the words just now.
Xiao He was much more experienced than him, so he was not too shocked.
Although Liu Bang listened to the whole thing, he could have completely ignored him.
As for Zhao Jun, she asked another inappropriate question.
"Why is this married woman interested in the county magistrate?"
Xiao He almost spit out the water he had just drunk.
It turned out that he still didn't understand adults' imagination well enough.
"Sir, it's already this late and you're still talking about this. Isn't the focus on what happens next?"
Although Lu Jing was teased, his expression did not improve.
The King of Zhao ignored him and turned to talk to Xiao He.
"If that's the case, then Lu Jing is in great danger now. He's also favored by Miss Cheng."
Mr. Zhao started to act pretentiously again.
"That's right. The way things are going, County Magistrate Lu might be demoted soon."
Xiao He understood and followed the pace.
After saying that, the two of them glanced at Lu Jing, whose face had become even darker, and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore, let's get down to business."
The atmosphere was finally less tense, and Zhao Jun was concentrating and no longer joking.
"This Zheng Zhonghui is even more cunning than I thought."
She sighed.
Xiao He nodded and added.
"Indeed, this Zheng Zhonghui clearly has a good relationship with the Cheng family, but he secretly told us this, obviously trying not to offend either side."
"He said that the officials in Shu County didn't dare to interfere in the Cheng family's affairs, and he was no exception, so he could only tell us secretly behind our backs."
Lu Jing's face was dark but his mind was working quickly.
"Yes, he might even have inquired about my identity, so he dared to reveal this information to me."
Zhao Jun smiled playfully.
"That's right. Otherwise, why hasn't he told me this even though I've been in Shu County for so long?"
Lu Jing suddenly realized.
"Sir, what should we do next?"
Lu Jing asked with a cautious and heavy expression.
"How? What?"
Zhao Jun asked back.
Lu Jing was stunned.
"No, sir, since we already know about this, shouldn't we take countermeasures, such as taking precautions against Chengjia, or reporting it to the higher-ups?"
Isn't this an urgent matter?
"Don't worry. First of all, we can't be sure whether what Zheng Zhonghui said is true. Secondly, even if what he said is true, the Cheng family is just trying to protect their own interests and avoid encountering corrupt officials."
"Taking a step back, the Cheng family's refusal to allow people from above to come may have affected the lives of some people in Shu County, but now that I'm here, I haven't seen them attack me. As long as their family doesn't interfere with my official duties, why should I bother them?"
"Besides, has the Cheng family done anything illegal? No, right?"
Zhao Jun naturally explained the reason behind this.
Just like what modern people often say.
Don't listen to what a person says, but look at what he does.
"That's why adults say that Zheng Zhong is cunning."
Xiao He, who was sitting next to him, sighed with a profound smile.
With just a few words, he wanted the adults to deal with the local tyrant Cheng Jia, and even Lu Jing was fooled.
Of course, the Cheng siblings were unaware of Zheng Zhonghui’s slander against the Cheng family.
The Cheng sisters are busy dealing with Zhao Jun.
Speaking of yesterday, I ran back to the house in a huff and then sulked in the room for half a day.
Chengyu was still angry when he came to see her the next day, and he was even angrier.
"Third sister, please don't be angry. That Zhao Jun is indeed not interested in Lu Jing."
Chengyu continued to advise earnestly.
But what Chengxin cared about now was not Zhao Jun's feelings for Lu Jing but the fact that Zhao Jun had embarrassed him.
In short, the third young lady felt extremely embarrassed and had to go against Zhao Jun.
"Second sister, please stop talking. Anyway, that Zhao Jun is so disrespectful to our marriage, I must teach her a lesson."
"Don't worry, Second Sister. I'm not really going to do anything to her. I'm just going to teach her a lesson. Otherwise, I'll be so angry."
"Second sister, just tell me whether you can help me or not, second sister, second sister."
Cheng Xin started to hug her arm and act coquettishly again.
Cheng Yu was helpless and glanced at her coquettish sister.
Judging from her current situation, she will definitely not stop if I don’t let my younger sister vent her anger.
Since that’s the case, there’s nothing we can do but teach Mr. Zhao a lesson.
Just think of it as comforting my sister.
"Okay, if I don't help you, who will I help?"
Cheng Yu smiled and agreed.
"Okay, I know that my second sister treats me the best, so let's think of a specific solution quickly."
"I must let her see how powerful we are as a family."
"Second sister, do you have any good ideas? Let's discuss it."
He jumped up with joy and was extremely excited.
The two sisters discussed for an entire afternoon, discussing many ways to play a prank on others, and finally decided on a plan that satisfied both parties.
In the end, I was particularly satisfied.
Not only should we teach her a lesson, it would be even better if we could use it to make her return quickly.
After the two sisters completed their planning, they quickly and quietly prepared for action.
Zhao Jun didn't care about these things. She was discussing serious matters with Lu Jing and Xiao He.
"The cement road in the prefecture has been basically paved. According to our previous plan, we can reach the subordinate county of Shu County in two days."
Xiao He took out his notebook and looked at it compared with Lu Jing's map.
"Yes, according to our previous plan, our first stop is Shunan County. This is the largest county in Shu County, and the road from it to Zhou County is the most difficult to travel."
Lu Jing pointed to the map. He had been there before.
If the road in Shunan is repaired, the roads in Shu County will be much easier to travel.
Zhao Jun nodded. She had also looked at the overall terrain of Shu County and had made plans for road paving.
Overall it's much better than Berkshire Hathaway.
There are few county towns in Shu County, and they are relatively concentrated. If the road problem in Shunan is solved, other counties will be accessible.
"Okay, then let's follow the previous plan and leave Shunan County first."
"Lu Jing, ask the team that previously worked with Xiao He in the prefecture if they are willing to continue to work with him in Shunan. After all, they are skilled workers."
"Okay, no problem. I'll have someone ask them later. It should be fine. The salary offered by the master is very generous."
Lu Jing nodded and spoke confidently.
"Okay, then everyone go get ready. We'll leave early the day after tomorrow."
They have been in the prefecture for quite some time, and it is time to go to the county town below.
The other two had no objections and hoped to start work and complete it as soon as possible.
However, several people were unable to set off as planned.
Because the next morning, the county magistrate's office was surrounded.
