Looking at the woman sitting in the hall, Qingyuan prefect Zhou Yong laughed so hard that his eyes almost disappeared.

Unlike the common people, he knew that Miss Jun had already arrived in Hebei West Road, and he had thought about inviting Miss Jun to come here.

But when he heard that Daming Prefecture and Kaide Prefecture had sent invitations, Prefect Zhou gave up the idea.

Although Qingyuan Prefecture is located in the north-central part of Hebei West Road, the nearby Zhending Prefecture has been invaded by gold thieves, so Qingyuan Prefecture is not a safe place.

It would be fine if another doctor came, but why would someone like Miss Jun take the risk to come here?

Moreover, the journey from Xiangzhou to Qingyuan Prefecture is very long, and compared with invitations from other places, they have no advantage at all.

Unexpectedly, Miss Jun actually came. When he saw the certificate delivered to him, Magistrate Zhou thought he was dreaming, but the manager of Deshengchang Bank repeatedly stated that he could only believe it with doubt.

It was not until he saw the woman sitting in front of him that Magistrate Zhou was sure that he had really caught the pancake that fell from the sky.

"I didn't expect Miss Jun to come to our place. I found out the news too late and was unable to greet her." He couldn't help but say.

The word "welcome" should not be used to describe this woman. She comes here on orders and her rank is higher than that of Prefect Zhou.

But when it comes to human lives, political achievements and public opinion, who cares about these? With Miss Youjun's visit this year, his official position may be promoted in the future.

"I didn't plan to come." Miss Jun said.

These words made Governor Zhou stunned for a moment, and Lei Zhonglian also slightly side-glanced.

This is embarrassing.

How to answer?

"After finishing my stay in Xiangzhou, I was planning to return to the capital, but I received a letter from Duke Cheng." Miss Jun continued.

These words made Governor Zhou stunned again, while Lei Zhonglian twitched his brows.

Letter? Duke Cheng?

"Duke Cheng invited me to vaccinate the people of Qingyuan Prefecture." Miss Jun said calmly and honestly, "He said that the people of the North have suffered a lot, have been robbed, and often fight in fear when they are invaded. If we can solve some of their sufferings and save some children, it will be a blessing for the people and the North. After all, talents are the foundation of a country. Only when there are people, can we fight against the gold thieves."

When Prefect Zhou heard this, his mouth opened wide and his expression became serious and excited.

Lei Zhonglian had a dazed look on his face, his eyes unable to conceal his admiration.

I haven't mentioned this before. Is this something I made up on the spur of the moment?

admire.

She told lies so easily without batting an eyelid. I never thought such a quiet girl like Miss Jun could be so capable of such a thing.

Moreover, this would give Duke Cheng a reputation for nothing.

Is this because of that Ling Jiu Gongzi?

Isn't it enough to just give him money? Do we also need to give money to his father?

On the other side, Governor Zhou immediately regained his composure.

"I never thought it was Duke Cheng." He remained excited, his eyes clear, "Duke Cheng is so thoughtful for the people of the North. We are so ashamed."

It's a bit of an exaggeration to say that he felt ashamed, but he was indeed a little embarrassed. He had the idea but didn't put it into action, and Duke Cheng Guo invited people without saying a word.

Speaking of which, these civil officials have always looked down on military generals. When they came to the North, they were suppressed by Duke Cheng, and they were inevitably dissatisfied. Now that the two governments in the North have encountered problems one after another, although they are panicked and regretful, they still have a sense of pleasure of revenge in their hearts.

I let you become a Duke and act so domineeringly. I let you act so arrogantly. Let's see what you are so arrogant about. You are embarrassed this time.

Hearing that the Imperial Guard Inspector sent by the court would definitely investigate, everyone was holding their breath. They didn't want to say anything bad about Duke Cheng, but they definitely didn't want to say anything good about him either.

Sometimes the silence of civil servants can also be a murderous weapon.

Now that he heard that Miss Jun was invited by Duke Cheng and that he specifically mentioned Qingyuan Prefecture, Prefect Zhou had to think about it.

Duke Cheng actually cares about him so much in his heart.

"Duke Cheng wants me to keep it a secret and not mention his invitation." Miss Jun threw out another sentence, "Maybe he's afraid that I'll lose face if I refuse."

This is not a matter of face, it's a favor. Without mentioning Duke Cheng, it was Zhou Yong who invited Miss Jun.

Prefect Zhou immediately knew what to do. He said some words of gratitude and expressed his concern and anxiety about the vaccination. In the end, even he believed that Miss Jun was invited by him, and he believed that Miss Jun was persuaded to think so.

Sure enough, Miss Jun nodded in agreement with what he said.

This little girl was only sixteen or seventeen years old. He knew her father, a weak and honest county official. Her maternal grandfather was a wealthy merchant. There was no doubt that this little girl had some inherited skills, but everything else was handled by Deshengchang Bank.

Governor Zhou was very confident that he could let this little girl, who only knew how to do things and didn't understand the human relationships and human mind calculations, do things according to his own ideas.

"Thank you for your hard work, Magistrate Zhou." Miss Jun said softly.

Prefect Zhou sighed.

"I am loyal to my master and deserve the emperor's support. This is my duty as a local official. It is worth my hard work to invite Miss Jun to come here," he said.

Miss Jun smiled and said nothing. The man next to Miss Jun glanced at him.

Prefect Zhou also glanced at him. This man must be an attendant, but why did he look a little strange?

Just as Magistrate Zhou was about to say something, there were hurried footsteps and a loud voice outside the door.

"Damn it, this is a disgrace."

Prefect Zhou's face suddenly darkened.

"General Peng, what are you talking about?" he shouted, looking at the general who came in, "Miss Jun is here."

I just finished praising Miss Jun and you insult her. Young girls are the most sensitive. Aren't you giving people misunderstanding?

Hearing the three words "Miss Jun", the general who entered the room quickly put away his angry face, put on a smile and saluted solemnly.

Miss Jun stood up to return the greeting.

"I'm scolding those bastards. They couldn't even guard the notice on the city gate. They didn't even know that the city gate was stolen." The general couldn't help but say angrily.

It was obvious that Magistrate Zhou also knew about this, but he did not think it was a big deal.

"How can this not be a problem? That's a notice posted on the city gate. There were so many soldiers guarding the gate day and night, but no one noticed it. Someone took the things away silently right under our noses. Doesn't this prove that people can come and go freely? If it was a gold thief, then our entire Qingyuan Prefecture would have been wiped out last night." The general shouted.

Prefect Zhou's face changed again and he cursed in his heart.

If a little girl said in public that gold thieves had taken over Qingyuan Prefecture, not only would the people be scared away immediately, but the people of Qingyuan Prefecture would also tear him to pieces.

"This is a small matter, just a notice." He said hurriedly, "Maybe it was blown away by the wind, picked up by someone, how can it be stolen? Don't talk nonsense without checking it out. You are disturbing the people."

The general suddenly came to his senses and nodded quickly at the little girl, who was only in her teens and could be blown away by a gust of wind.

"Yes, yes, I'll look for it again." He said, "It was quite windy yesterday."

Miss Jun listened quietly, without fear or asking questions, and even smiled and nodded at the appropriate times.

"Miss Jun, you should go and have a rest. The vaccination will start tomorrow." Prefect Zhou said with a smile and winked at the clerk and maid in the room.

The maid and clerk hurried forward to lead the way, and Miss Jun thanked them and followed them.

Magistrate Zhou kept smiling as he watched Miss Jun out of sight before twirling his beard.

"Miss Jun is really going to our camp to get the vaccination in person? That's so embarrassing. Let's line up too." The general rubbed his hands and laughed.

In addition to conveying the news of Miss Jun's arrival, Deshengchang also arranged the specific operating procedures for the vaccination, including queuing up and paying money at a fixed location, but also mentioned an exception, which is that the children of officers and soldiers do not need to come to the government office to queue up, but can be gathered in the largest town to queue up, and Miss Jun will go there personally to vaccinate the children of officers and soldiers.

This is a huge benefit. They don’t have to squeeze in with everyone else. It’s really enviable.

Prefect Zhou didn't understand it at first, but now he understands it.

Since it was Duke Cheng who invited Miss Jun, the officers and soldiers must of course be taken care of.

Prefect Zhou will not try to take advantage of this benefit.

"Just follow Miss Jun's instructions." He said, and gave the general a warning look, "Be careful with your words, don't say anything."

The general quickly replied yes and watched Prefect Zhou leave happily with his hands clasped.

"But it was really stolen." He said to himself, looking depressed and puzzled, "Is there such a powerful thief in Qingyuan Mansion?"

Before dawn the next day, the main gate of the government office was closed, but the side gates on both sides were opened, and teams of officers and soldiers formed long queues to maintain order.

Although there were soldiers watching over them, the ranks were still occasionally in disarray, and the sounds of talking, quarreling and laughing were even louder.

The streets of the government office early in the morning were as bustling as a temple fair.

Farther down the street, several men reined in their horses.

"Mr. Jin, this woman is really idle." Several men said.

Jin Shiba twirled his short beard, seeming annoyed and amused at the same time.

"It's okay, we can wait," he said.
