"Sir, are you really leaving today? Will you stay a little longer?"
Tan Ben stood at the gate of the county government office, looking at the neatly packed carriage in front of him.
Although I received the notice from Miss Qingliu last night, I still felt it was very hasty.
How can you just leave like that?
"No, I have something important to do next, and I'm afraid of wasting time."
Zhao Jun stood beside the carriage and watched Qingliu pack up the things and put them into the carriage.
"Tan County Magistrate, thank you for your care during this period. We will leave now."
Zhao Jun smiled and bowed to Tan Ben, and Tan Ben quickly returned the greeting.
"No, I want to thank you for your help to Xincheng County. I wish you a safe journey."
Tan Ben bent down deeply and watched their carriage go farther and farther away.
It was still the same bumpy mountain road as when they came, but Zhao Jun felt inexplicably melancholy.
See, this is where she struggled.
During this trip to Hanzhong County, she stayed in Xincheng County the longest, did the most things, and had the deepest impression.
Now that I am leaving, I still feel a little emotional.
Just as she was about to lower the curtain and stop looking outside, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a large crowd in front of her.
What’s going on? Are they bandits?
That shouldn’t be the case. I haven’t even left the territory of Xincheng County.
"Bon voyage, sir."
"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir. Thank you, Miss Qingliu."
"Hurry up and say goodbye to the adults. Goodbye."
They were people from Xincheng County. Qingliu got Zhao Jun's look and lifted the curtain in front of the car.
She hadn't told anyone or the people that she was leaving, so she didn't know where they came from.
Zhao Jun just didn't want to see such a scene, but they came to see him off anyway.
The carriage slowly passed through the crowd. The people didn't know what to say and could only keep thanking them.
She saw many familiar people, including the uncle who worked with her to repair the fields and dig canals, Mrs. Du Jiang, and many children.
I never thought that one day I would be able to have such a scene of seeing someone off along the long street.
"Thank you, everyone. Don't send me off. Let's go back."
"I'll come again when I have time. Goodbye everyone."
Zhao Jun stuck his head out and waved goodbye to those people.
She didn't look away until she could no longer see those figures and breathed a sigh of relief.
It turns out that I am still not able to adapt to such a warm and affectionate scene.
Okay, next it’s time to go back to the county magistrate’s office.
The carriage creaked along for another day and finally arrived at the county magistrate's mansion the next morning.
Zhao Jun did not send anyone to notify us in advance this time.
She couldn't wait to see the surprised face of the old man Cong Zhicheng when he saw her.
Zhao Jun had the carriage parked at the side door of the county magistrate's mansion, and he walked towards the main gate with Qingliu in a swaggering manner.
She was going to launch a surprise attack.
Just as she turned the corner and was about to reach the gate, she suddenly saw two people coming out of the gate.
The person who came happened to be someone she had met once before.
It was the unattractive eldest son of Cong Zhicheng who was eating at the same table with her, and the person next to him looked like his follower.
When Zhao Jun saw the two men, he subconsciously pulled Qingliu back to the corner.
No, she didn't do anything shameful, so why would she have to hide so subconsciously?
Zhao Jun didn't understand, but that didn't stop her from doing it.
Just as Zhao Jun was about to show up after thinking about something, a faint voice came from the other side.
"Sir, Miss Dou's wedding is only half a month away. Why don't you try harder? Don't you like Miss Dou very much?"
The follower's voice came vaguely.
Miss Dou? Zhao Jun raised his eyebrows. What a coincidence.
"No matter how hard I try, she's determined to marry that guy. Even Dou Xiu can't stop her. What else can I do?"
Cong Wenchuan said quite depressedly that he and Jiaying were childhood sweethearts, so why did she just look down on him?
"Sir, do you want to use some unconventional means? Otherwise, I will break that boy's legs and prevent them from getting married."
"This Miss Dou must have been blinded for a moment. Maybe if we delay for a while, she'll come to her senses."
This follower is really good at giving bad advice. Zhao Jun frowned.
"Do you think I haven't sent people to do it? Not to mention that guy is well protected by Jiaying, just look at him himself, with that physique, he can beat three of you alone."
From the text, I feel that he must have lost all hope. The beauty just slipped away from him like that.
"However, how about we kidnap Miss Jiaying and then..." The follower smiled disgustingly.
Qingliu, who was hiding nearby, widened his eyes when he heard this. How dare this guy do that?
Zhao Jun also clenched his fists. If that kid really dared to do that, his official career would be over.
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
From the text, a slap landed on the follower's head, making a loud noise, which showed that he had put a lot of force into it.
"You want to kill me, don't you? Do you think she's just an ordinary girl? If I really did that, Dou Xiu would kill me, and my father might even lose his job as an official."
"Oh, sir, I'm worried about you. Besides, even if you really did something, you can just pay some money according to the law. The fine is not heavy."
Cong Wenchuan gave his men another slap in the face.
"You think I'm afraid of the law? Don't you know Dou Xiu's character? Even if the law doesn't sentence me severely, he will fight to the death with me."
If that old guy Dou Xiu wasn't so difficult to deal with, he wouldn't be afraid.
"Then there's really nothing we can do. I feel sorry for you, Mr. Dou. Miss Dou is such a good girl."
"What else can we do? With Dou Xiu holding us back, we can't possibly get into trouble."
