Chapter 65. Prefect Xiao's official seal? It's probably a forgery!
Everyone nodded:
That makes sense.
Xiao Linyuan's lips curled into a faint smile that went unnoticed by anyone.
Su Jingge said that the document was posted on the notice board.
He then instructed his men:
"Flying Sword, quickly send the document to Xie Mo's residence and tell him it can be posted."
The flying sword bowed with its hands clasped in greeting: "Yes, sir!"
"Weishuang, go and inform Xu Yuan to have three groups of people gather at Xiaodongmen with their tools."
He bowed with his hands clasped in a gesture of respect to Shuang: "Here you are!"
"Qingyue, Ying Xiaohu will remain in charge of the restaurant as before."
The two bowed with their hands clasped in greeting: "Yes, sir!"
"Xiao Linyuan is in charge of the supply of goods and the overall management of the restaurant."
Xiao Linyuan nodded.
Su Jingge looked at Lu Er and said, "Let's go to Xiaodongmen."
"Then I'll go to the backyard to get the tools."
Su Jingge said, "If I go with you, we can lead the horse."
The two passed through the front hall, and Su Jingge passed by the back kitchen and saw Ying Dahu busy with research and development.
Looking at the old woman again, she still had a cold face and looked like she was not to be trifled with.
In short, he is a very difficult person to approach.
I don't remember knowing much about this old woman.
According to the fragmented memories of the original owner, when this dishwasher entered the restaurant, she looked like a refugee, covered in mud, on the verge of death, and in a sorry state.
His shoes were worn out, his clothes were tattered, and he looked like a beggar, asking for only a bowl of water.
The original owner took her in, but it seemed that the old woman had nowhere to go.
When asked where she came from and where she was going, she shook her head and remained silent.
Seeing that she could read people's faces and even knew how to read, the original owner said that she could help out at the restaurant, with food, lodging, and wages provided.
The old woman was extremely grateful and stayed on.
Having been here for so long, Su Jingge felt that this mysterious nanny was probably related to some high-ranking official or nobleman.
She walked over to the old woman and said, "Old woman, have you been tired lately? If you are, you can rest. I will hire another old woman in the future, so you won't have to work so hard."
The old woman smiled and bowed, making a gesture of respect with her hands clasped: "Manager Su, this old woman can handle it."
Su Jingge looked at the person, feeling a strange mix of emotions.
"Sister Su, I'm ready."
Su Jingge's thoughts were pulled back: "Alright, Granny, I'll go and get busy now."
The old woman remained bowed, bowing her head and making a gesture of respect as she waited for people to leave.
Su Jingge frowned slightly. Just who was this nanny...?
-
At this moment, the flying sword had already delivered the document to the mansion.
Upon receiving the message, Xie Mo immediately set off.
On the other side, after Wei Shuang finished speaking, Xu Yuan's eyes lit up: "Haha, Assistant Manager Su is really amazing, she actually managed to cover it."
"Go and call Yan Shu over," he said to the servant.
Yan Shu was repairing the Renyi Hall when he heard the summons and immediately came to the back mountain.
He turned around and looked at Yan Shu: "Assistant Su needs three groups of people, that is, 21 people."
“You send 10 people, and I’ll send one more, making it 11 people.”
After Xu Yuan finished speaking, Yan Shu also said that there was no problem.
But when Yan Shu was selecting men, his subordinates became unhappy.
“We won’t follow Xu Yuan, we’ll just follow you to carry bricks in Xishan.”
"Exactly, cleaning up the garbage is smelly and tiring. We want to follow you in Xishan."
Yan Shu put his hands on his hips and said, "I'm here repairing the roof, so I can't go. Assistant Manager Su has clearly defined the division of labor. Everyone does what they're supposed to do."
Several people turned their faces away, unwilling to follow Xu Yuan, and also unwilling to deal with the trash.
For a time, the situation remained deadlocked.
Yan Shu glared at him: "Are you going or not? You're not going, are you?"
'smack'
He went up and slapped her hard across the face.
"Why pick and choose the best jobs? You do whatever you're told. If you want to, do it; if you don't, go back to the mountains and eat pig feed."
The man retorted, "Boss, when have you ever been afraid of Su Jingge? Wasn't it good on the mountain before? Now it's all different. We're restricted everywhere. Even the brothers can't follow you anymore. We have to follow Xu Yuan."
Xu Yuan, who happened to be walking to the door, overheard everything.
Seeing that the man was about to raise his hand to slap him again, he immediately shouted:
"stop!"
When Yan Shu saw that it was Xu Yuan, he put down the reservoir and greeted him with a smile: "Craftsman Xu is here. This... I'm sorry to have made you laugh. The brothers have a little objection."
Xu Yuan raised his hand: "We're all brothers, don't be so formal."
He looked at everyone and said, "I know that you brothers have been carefree and at ease, and haven't we brothers been too?"
“But things are different now. Not only do we receive high wages from Assistant Manager Su, but the treatment we receive is unmatched in the entire Lingnan region, isn’t it?”
"Therefore, we should know how to be grateful."
“Assistant Su is still waiting for us at Xiaodongmen. The people assigned here are only temporary. If you don’t want to keep dealing with garbage, we can rotate every three days. Nobody should keep doing that dirty work. What do you all think?”
The group fell silent.
I think this method works, changing it every three days.
"Alright, then we'll change it every three days."
Xu Yuan left with the others.
The people were shocked and couldn't believe it when they saw the document posted on the notice board:
"Who can read? Come and see what's written!"
A literate young person stepped forward:
"It says here that all garbage in the city will be disposed of in a unified manner, starting from Xiaodongmen."
"Ugh—garbage, what does that mean?"
"The garbage should be the kind of filthy stuff that Assistant Su mentioned last time, like rotten matter, stagnant water, and things that people don't want."
"The official seal is on this, so it seems that construction is really about to begin."
"An official seal? Lord Zhao really affixed the official seal?"
"He is truly our upright and just official!"
"No!"
Some people deny it:
"The official seal on it doesn't look like Zhao's; it seems to be... it's Xiao's!"
"Xiao?" The commoner shook his head and laughed, "You must be mistaken."
"What official with the surname Xiao is there in our county?"
"Exactly, it's probably a forged official seal!"
The young man didn't say anything, but his eyebrows rose slightly. Yuxiang County was saved!
The people started discussing: "If this person really is surnamed Xiao, then there is indeed such a person in the county..."
The people looked at each other, puzzled:
"But what about that Prefect Xiao, who has no real power?"
The young man nodded: "This is how the official seal is affixed."
Someone laughed loudly: "Don't joke around, how could Prefect Xiao possibly build such a thing? He would be held responsible for that!"
"I don't think this garbage can be disposed of!"
Su Jingge was already waiting for someone on the other side.
She watched as the flying sword approached from afar, accompanied by Xie Mo's men, which suggested that the official document had already been issued.
"How is it?" Su Jingge asked as she greeted the person.
He approached and greeted her with a flying sword: "Assistant Su, everything is ready."
Su Jingge nodded: "Very good."
She looked westward again, wondering why Xu Yuan's men hadn't arrived yet.
I was just about to send Fei Jian to check if something had happened.
Then a group of people appeared.
As Xu Yuan arrived with the workers, more and more people gathered at the market.
"Isn't this craftsman Xu?"
"They're here! They've really come!"
The people following behind them asked, "Xu Gong, where are you going? There are so many of you?"
Xu Yuan smiled and said, "I have been assigned by Assistant Manager Su to my post at Xiaodongmen..."
