Chapter 165 Opening a New World
"And that guy lying on the ground!" Master Tan pointed at the unconscious waiter, "Drag him down and give him twenty lashes too."
Although the waiter fainted, he could not escape the punishment he had to accept.
The main culprit has been dealt with, only...
thump!
Boss Wang noticed that Lord Tan was looking at him and quickly knelt down.
Although he could act arrogantly in front of people like Mr. Li, he was just a commoner after all. When facing a high-ranking official like Lord Tan, he seemed a little unpresentable.
"Master Tan, I..."
He wanted to argue, but Lord Tan waved his hand and interrupted him.
It seemed that he only believed what the teacher said, but in fact, he had already found out what happened on the way here.
If he had not arrived in time, Boss Wang would have attacked the teachers long ago.
However, Boss Wang has not hurt anyone after all, so he cannot be accused of a crime without reason.
"If Master Tan and that master don't mind, I'd like to host a welcome party for you and apologize."
Having been a boss for so long, Boss Wang was able to guess a little of Mr. Tan's dilemma, so he quickly gave him a way out.
"No!"
Master Tan waved his hand and looked at Master Chen, "I have already prepared a banquet at home. If you don't mind, Master and Master's wife, please move on."
"How could that be?" Lord Chen waved his hand.
"Also, how does the teacher plan to deal with this person..."
In the end, Lord Tan couldn't think of a good solution and could only ask Lord Chen for advice.
Master Chen hesitated for a moment and then said, "Why don't we have him distribute porridge in the city so that beggars can have something to eat."
Lord Tan nodded. When he was the county magistrate, he solved the problem of beggars so that the people in the county could have food to eat, but there were still many beggars from outside coming into the city.
He was able to prevent the people under his rule from being displaced, but he was unable to ensure that the people in other areas had enough food to eat.
In short, Lord Chen's punishment not only vented the anger, but also brought benefits to the people.
Kill two birds with one stone.
Lord Tan felt deeply moved, he was indeed Lord Chen.
"I understand. I will immediately ask someone to provide porridge."
When Boss Wang heard what Mr. Chen said, he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly nodded in agreement, fearing that they would go back on their word.
And he kept cursing in his heart, what a psycho.
Since she has such a high status, why would she deliberately wear this kind of clothes to test him?
Isn't this intentional?
However, he did not know that Lord Chen had already been stripped of his official position, so he could only wear such simple clothes.
Now that the matter has been resolved, Tan Shuxian will take Lord Chen and his family back home.
After they left, the onlookers finally breathed a sigh of relief and started talking about it.
"That person is actually the county magistrate's teacher?"
"That's right, you can't tell at all with clothes like this."
"I don't know what the identity of the county magistrate's teacher is."
"He should be a high-ranking official in the capital!"
There was a person in the crowd with a strange look on his face, and he wanted to rush out and tell everyone that the county magistrate's teacher was not a high-ranking official at all, but an exiled prisoner.
But when he thought about his mission, he chose to shut up.
In fact, if he could solve the problem of Chen Yuan by speaking up, he would speak up without hesitation.
After all, although he had been prepared for a long time and was trained as a death warrior, he would still hesitate when it came to actual action.
But he quickly strengthened his conviction, and once again hid himself in the crowd, waiting for his opportunity.
When Lord Chen and his party arrived at Tan Shuxian's house, the servants had already prepared bath water and new clothes.
After taking a bath and changing clothes, they entered the banquet.
Tan Shuxian took Mr. Chen aside to reminisce about the past, while Chen Xue and her mother concentrated on preparing delicious food.
…………
"hateful!"
Outside the city, among the exile team, Zhang Yiquan looked at the porridge in the bowl, his heart full of dissatisfaction and jealousy.
Why? Why, as fellow exiles, can only eat steamed buns and drink porridge, while the Chen family can go into the city, eat and drink well, and go shopping.
If he had been unable to contact the capital, he would have wanted to report the Chen family.
This is not exile at all, it doesn't look like exile at all.
The jealous Zhang Yiquan couldn't eat at all and gave the porridge to his son.
However, in the middle of the night, Zhang Yiquan woke up from hunger, but still couldn't find anything to eat.
He began to regret giving dinner to his son. Where could he find food in the middle of the night?
There was no other way, he could only follow the ancients' example and paint a picture of a cake to appease his hunger, but who knew that the more he thought about it, the hungrier he got.
Finally, he woke up his mother and she dug up some tree roots for him.
Although Zhang Yiquan didn't want to eat, he couldn't help it in the end.
After taking a bite, he inexplicably found it delicious, as if a new world had opened up to him.
…………
The next day, early in the morning.
Chen Xue and her family got up early and had a delicious breakfast.
I slept very comfortably last night and took a hot bath, and the fatigue from traveling disappeared in an instant.
Although they could take a hot bath and sleep comfortably every night, they were sleeping in a space, and they still felt a little worried that the space would be exposed.
Now that I'm in the county magistrate's mansion, I don't have to worry about those things.
Tan Shuxian wanted to let Lord Chen and his family rest for one more day, but was rejected by Lord Chen. The exile team had already been delayed for a long time, and if it was delayed for another day because of waiting for them, everyone would be blamed.
Moreover, if this matter were to spread to the capital, his opponents would definitely make a fuss about it.
Tan Shuxian also thought of this, so he stopped trying to persuade him and instead asked someone to bring a cart of supplies.
"Teacher, the journey to Nanman is long, and these supplies will be of some help."
Lord Chen took a look and found that it was not boxes of silver, but some food, medicinal herbs, and clothes.
However, before leaving, Tan Shuxian handed Chen Xue a bag of silver. Although it was not much, it was still several dozen taels. For Tan Shuxian, who was not greedy or predatory, had just taken office for a short time, and only received a salary, it was a lot.
"I send most of my money back home, so..."
Tan Shuxian said this a little embarrassedly, but Lord Chen shook his head and signaled Chen Xue to return the money to Tan Shuxian.
Although he was called "penniless" by others, to be honest, he was not really poor. His daughter even moved all the family assets here.
Compared to himself, Tan Shuxian has an old mother, is young and has not yet married, and his salary is not high, so he is the poorest.
"These supplies are enough for us." Lord Chen pointed to the carriage, "Besides, we're not going on a trip, so we don't need money."
"But you still need to make some arrangements along the way." Tan Shuxian advised. Although he was not greedy, he also knew that it would be difficult to get things done without money.
Especially on the road of exile, if you don't spend money to make things right...
Lord Chen had to bring up Xie Yunshang's name and tell him that several of Xie Yunshang's subordinates were also protecting them.
Naturally, the name of General Pingwei is known to everyone.
So, Tan Shuxian finally felt relieved.
Chen Xue and her family returned to the team, and Xu Tian had already asked everyone to pack up and get ready to set off.
Tan Shuxian also invited Xu Tian to dinner yesterday, but after the meal Xu Tian said he was worried about the exiled team, so he came back. Tan Shuxian also sent yamen runners to help look after the team.
Seeing that the Chen family would bring back a carriage almost every time they went out, everyone was envious.
