Chapter 227 Qin Sheng is in trouble
Houcheng County Government Office
Zheng Qiao came back with a sad face and sighing all over.
What happened today made him very sad.
He thought sadly, is Houcheng unsafe even in spring and summer? Originally, he only had to worry about whether the Xianbei would move south during the period between autumn and spring.
Damn Xianbei people, they never let him live in peace!
But he was reluctant to resign. It was with great difficulty that his family had produced an official. Even if Houcheng was not a good place, he was still the most important official here.
As soon as he returned, a subordinate came to report to him, "Sir, there is an official letter from Chang'an City."
Zheng Qiao said weakly, "Bring it here, let me see." Could it be another official letter urging spring plowing or something?
As he took the official letter from his subordinates, he was secretly complaining in his heart, what's the point of urging people to work hard during the spring plowing? Planting seeds over and over again is just making wedding clothes for others, and the harvested grain doesn't even end up in his mouth or pocket.
Others have a comfortable life as officials, but he is the only one who is risking his life to be an official. How pitiful.
When he opened the official letter, he straightened his back involuntarily and burst into laughter. "Hahahaha—good, that's really great!"
"Sir, is there any good news?"
"I'm going to be an official in another place!" He was finally able to be transferred away from Houcheng, a dangerous place!
"Sir, are you leaving?"
"Yes, yes!"
He requested a transfer several times, but was rejected each time.
After applying so many times, his classmates tactfully told him that he had done a good job in his position and that the court, for certain reasons, would not send new people to Houcheng to serve. As for the senior officials, since there was no one more outstanding willing to take his place, his applications were constantly rejected.
He was reluctant to resign, so he could only serve as the magistrate of Houcheng County with trepidation. Unexpectedly, he finally got the approval of the court this time!
"Congratulations." His subordinates congratulated him with a reluctant look on their faces, but he also knew that their county magistrate had always hoped to be transferred out of Houcheng, and now he had finally fulfilled his long-cherished wish, and they were happy for him.
Zheng Qiao patted his subordinate's shoulder and said that Houcheng was not a bad place, it was just too dangerous.
Now that he had been transferred to another place, he had escaped a disaster. The county he was transferred to was not big, not a county with ten thousand households, but it was safe! He no longer had to worry about his life every year.
I just don’t know which unlucky guy is willing to take over the position of Houcheng County Magistrate?
No, it should be said that I don’t know which kind-hearted person saved him from the dire situation?
After receiving the official letter, Zheng Qiao began to wait anxiously. Once his successor arrived, he would complete the handover and happily go to the Central Plains to take up his post.
Lu Desheng, who was being missed by Zheng Qiao, was happily eating roast chicken.
As the saying goes, the first time is new, the second time is familiar.
Yang Wei's escort agency and guards had all followed the Qin family on their journey of exile once before, so they were very familiar with how to arrange food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Therefore, after Lu Desheng and his group met up with the people who had set out ahead, the large group advanced in a planned manner.
Seeing so many people protecting them as they headed to Pingzhou, everyone felt relieved.
Next, their food, clothing, housing and transportation were all taken care of very well along the way.
Xiangping Military Settlement
The three Qin brothers all returned safe and sound, without any missing arms or legs.
Mother Qin and Shen Erniang looked at them and kept saying, "Just come back safely."
"Sanlang, are you injured?"
"Well, I got hurt accidentally, but it's not serious." Qin Zhao didn't want them to worry, and it was indeed not a serious injury.
Shen Erniang said with a stern face, “Then you have to apply medicine well and take care of yourself.”
Qin's mother then reminded him, "Yes, your second mother is right, don't take it lightly." If you don't take good care of your injuries and develop chronic illnesses, you will suffer when you get old. Her husband was like that.
"Are you injured too?" Lu Songli noticed that Qin Sheng's arm was also tied with several bandages.
Qin Zhao looked at him with contempt. "Even if two drops of blood are oozing out of your wound, you still want to bandage it?" Scheming!
Qin Sheng whispered, "I was slightly injured."
"Let me take a look." Lu Songli said as she was about to start. She thought that after opening it and taking a look, she could change the medicine for him.
Qin Sheng put his hand on the wound and prevented anyone from looking.
Lu Songli looked at him in surprise. What was going on? He didn't want her to see?
Qin Zhao looked at Qin Sheng mockingly and said, "Let me see how you act!"
Qin Sheng said shyly, "Let's go back to the room and see."
Lu Songli was puzzled. The injury was on the arm, not any other private part of the body. But seeing his guilty look, she seemed to be thinking about something.
Mother Qin didn't understand what was going on. When she heard her youngest son was injured, she walked over and said, "Why don't you take your hand away quickly? Doesn't it hurt? And can you show us how serious it is?"
Qin Sheng: ...
Qin Zhao: You're caught between a rock and a hard place, right? You deserve it!
Mother Qin urged again.
Seeing that if he didn't let her watch, she would do it herself, Qin Sheng could only take her hand away silently.
Mother Qin was about to take action, but Qin Sheng said, "Wife, please come and help?" with pleading in his eyes.
Okay, Lu Songli agreed, and then gently untied the straps.
Looking at the scabbed wounds, Lu Songli was silent. If no one said anything in half a day, the wounds would no longer be visible, okay?
Qin's mother: ...
She looked at her youngest son with an indescribable expression, "Why are you like this?"
"A-Li, go back to your room and apply medicine to him!" Qin's mother gritted her teeth and said, "Don't embarrass yourself in public." The word "apply medicine" was pronounced with a particularly strong emphasis.
It’s my own child, it’s my own child, Qin’s mother told herself over and over again.
Lu Songli wrapped the straps around him again, wrapping them twice, and said, "Let's go."
Mother Qin thought to herself, yes, we should leave quickly before anyone sees his wound, otherwise it would be too embarrassing!
Qin Sheng understood the situation and followed him back to his room obediently.
Qin Zhao saw him like that and laughed like crazy! Liu, you deserve it! You've embarrassed yourself in front of me.
Everyone felt the atmosphere was strange, and they didn't know how serious Sixth Brother's injury was. Did he have any broken bones?
"Mom, let me go to the kitchen and cook some soup to nourish my third and sixth brothers, shall I?" Su suggested.
Mother Qin said helplessly, "Go ahead, stew some more so we can all nourish ourselves. Third brother, have two more bowls."
Su nodded, wondering why her mother didn't let her sixth brother drink two more bowls.
